StockerYale Announces Shareholders Meeting to Authorize a Reverse Stock Split

SALEM, N.H., Aug 26, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- StockerYale, Inc., (NASDAQ: STKR), an independent provider of advanced illumination and optical products, today reported that its Board of Directors has proposed three amendments to the Company's articles of organization authorizing a reverse split of the Company's common stock. The approval of any one of the three amendments would result in the Company's stock price complying with the NASDAQ National Market Minimum Bid Price.

At a special meeting of shareholders to be held on October 6, 2003, shareholders will be asked to approve three amendments of the Company's articles of organization. One of the three amendments would allow a 1 for 3 reverse split with the remaining two amendments authorizing either a 1 for 5 or a 1 for 7 reverse split. If approved by the shareholders, the Board of Directors would have until December 31, 2003, to implement one of the three amendments, or at its discretion, reject all three.

"Since the Company may receive a delisting notice next month the proposed reverse split is aimed at maintaining our share price well above the minimum price level required for continued listing on the NASDAQ National Market," said Mark W. Blodgett, chief executive officer. "The Company clearly values its NASDAQ listing and intends to continue to provide the benefits of that listing to its shareholders," added Blodgett.
