Company Announces Strategic Alternatives
23 May 2024 - 10:00PM
The Singing Machine Company, Inc. (“Singing Machine”) (NASDAQ:
MICS) – the worldwide leader in consumer karaoke
products, today announced its Executive Committee of the Board of
Directors has authorized management to explore a range of
potentially transformational corporate transactions. The primary
purpose for this initiative is to explore transactions that can
potentially create immediate, sustained shareholder value.
As part of this initiative, the Company intends
to explore corporate transactions that expand the existing business
model beyond its current legacy consumer electronics karaoke
business. In particular, the Committee has prioritized disruptive
software solutions, emerging sustainability-centric technologies,
and other high-impact business models. To pursue these new growth
opportunities, the Company has evaluated the process for a reverse
merger, acquisitions, and merger of equals transactions.
“This decision represents a major shift in our
overall corporate strategy,” commented Gary Atkinson, CEO of the
Singing Machine. “We are still optimistic on the long-term value
opportunities for our legacy karaoke business. We believe there is
a great deal of value to be unlocked in the gamification of
karaoke, software and subscription-based karaoke experiences, and
automotive based karaoke. All of these opportunities provide
scalable lasting value potential.”
“With that said, our Board is extremely focused
on delivering greater near term shareholder value. Since our
uplisting to the Nasdaq two years ago, our Company has struggled to
sustain shareholder value in a challenging retail environment.
Recently, we have received numerous unsolicited inquiries regarding
our willingness to consider a possible corporate transaction.”
“Our highest priority today is to transform the
value creation potential of our Company. We are very proud to have
built a Company worthy of listing on a national exchange. This is a
potentially powerful asset for us to leverage to better unlock
value for our shareholders in the near term,” concluded Mr.
Atkinson.
