Whistler Investments, Inc. (WHIS) Announces a 640,000-Share Short in the DTC Stock Holdings of Whistler Common Stock LAS VEGAS, NV, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- We have previously communicated with our stockholders concerning short positions in our stock. Recently, in connection with the mailing to stockholders of the Notice for our upcoming Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held on October 26, 2004, our transfer agent and ADP have reported widely varying amounts of our stock held in the CEDE & Co. street name as of the October 4, 2004 record date. According to our transfer agent records, we have 6,014,759 shares held by DTC, but the ADP broker search indicates of 6,658,599 shares being reported by broker/dealers as being held on behalf of their customers, a short position of more than 640,000 shares. To view this report please visit: http://www.whistlerinvestments.com/docs/pdf/WI_Oct_ADP.pdf Given this over-reporting of our stock ownership, we are concerned that shares voted at the October 26 may not represent valid stockholders, and are conducting an audit to determine the correct amounts of stock permitted to be voted by various street holders. We have therefore commenced work with DTC to commence a formal review of the reported excessive broker/dealer holdings of our stock, so that we can conduct our corporate affairs properly, in view of our planned stockholders meeting and future corporate events. We again advise our stockholders make sure that they receive delivery of any shares that they purchase, and also that their stock is not being borrowed without authorization. Holly Roseberry, President of Whistler Investments states, "We find this situation startling and difficult to comprehend, particularly in light of the recent rule adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission the effect of which is to limit the maintenance of these open short positions by traders. We have retained counsel in this regard and intend to get to the bottom of the excessive short position. Once we put in place a plan for these shorts to get covered we expect all our stockholders to benefit."
