to Friday, April 5, 2019

NEW YORK, NY (March 1, 2019) – Trans-Lux Corporation (OTC Pink: TNLX) (“Trans-Lux”), a leading supplier of digital displays and next generation LED lighting, today announced that it has extended the expiration date of its previously announced rights offering to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 5, 2019.  Rights holders should contact their financial advisor in regards to the timing and procedures for exercising their subscription rights, as all broker-dealers have different cut off dates and times for processing subscriptions in advance of April 5, 2019.

As a reminder, this right offering allows Trans-Lux’s stockholders the opportunity to maintain or increase their respective ownership in the company by exercising their subscription rights. Trans-Lux distributed to its stockholders of record non-transferable subscription rights to purchase one share of Trans-Lux common stock for each share of common stock held at 45:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on January 25, 2019. Holders who fully exercise their basic subscription privilege will be entitled to purchase additional shares of common stock via the over-subscription privilege (should any of the offering remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the subscription period). This rights offering shall not exceed $2.5 million (2,500,000 shares of common stock).

Details of the rights offering are set out in the registration statement on Form S-1/A, as amended, file number 333-228695, and related prospectus or prospectus supplement(s) filed with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website.

Trans-Lux intends to use the net proceeds from the rights offering for repayment of certain debt, pension plan contributions and for general corporate purposes
