Tiberius Capital Extends Its Tender Offer for All MathStar (OTC: MATH.PK) Common Shares Until 11:59 p.m., New York City Time on
21 July 2009 - 9:00PM
PR Newswire (US)
CHICAGO, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Tiberius Capital II, LLC
("Tiberius"), a value-opportunity fund located in Chicago,
announced today that it is extending the expiration date of its
tender offer for all MathStar (Pink Sheets: MATH) common shares at
$1.25 per share until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on August 14,
2009. As of July 20, 2009, approximately 1,625,000 shares of
MathStar's common stock have been tendered and not withdrawn, more
than double the number of shares previously tendered to Tiberius.
"We are extending our tender offer to permit shareholders to digest
the news announced by the MathStar Board yesterday, that the
proposed acquisition of Sajan, Inc., a private language translation
company, will result in $5.6 million of MathStar cash to be paid to
Sajan shareholders, and that MathStar shareholders will suffer
nearly 50% equity dilution, with the MathStar Board proposing to
issue 8.8 million additional new shares to Sajan shareholders. In
Tiberius' opinion, this is an extremely poor deal for the MathStar
shareholders, and Tiberius' tender offer at $1.25 per share for all
MathStar shares, and Tiberius' emphasis on maximizing shareholder
value, is clearly superior," said John M. Fife, who along with
Robert T. Sullivan is a principal of Tiberius. Tiberius urges all
MathStar shareholders to tender all of their shares as soon as
possible prior to the expiration date on August 14, 2009, at 11:59
p.m., New York City Time. Forward-looking Statements This press
