Item 16 of the Schedule 13E-3 is hereby amended by adding the following information: (a) Marlton's Press Release dated June 20, 2003. (b) Termination Agreement by and between Marlton and Redwood. Item 16 (a) Marlton Terminates Merger Philadelphia, PA, June 20, 2003 - Marlton Technologies, Inc. ("Marlton") (ASE: MTY) has agreed to a proposal by Redwood Acquisition Corp. ("Redwood") to terminate their Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 20, 2003 (the "Merger Agreement"), and has decided to remain an independent public company. In the Fall of 2002, the Marlton Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee of independent Directors to evaluate and make a recommendation to the Board regarding Redwood's offer and any other competing offers to acquire the Company. The Special Committee, after considering and evaluating a number of factors relating to Marlton, the proposal by Redwood to terminate the Merger Agreement and the two other preliminary inquiries regarding possible acquisitions of Marlton, and after consulting with its independent financial advisor and counsel, recommended to Marlton's Board of Directors that it accept Redwood's proposal to terminate the Merger Agreement and that it not pursue discussions with the two other potential acquirers. Marlton's Board of Directors accepted the recommendations of the Special Committee and executed an agreement with Redwood terminating the Merger Agreement. Marlton Technologies, Inc., through its Sparks Exhibits & Environments and DMS Store Fixtures subsidiaries, is engaged in the design, marketing and production of trade show, museum, theme park and themed interior exhibits and store fixture and point of purchase displays, both domestically and internationally. This press release may contain statements that are forward-looking within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws and may be based on Marlton's current expectations and assumptions, which are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the factors set forth in Marlton's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, and as may be updated in any subsequent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, all filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
