On May 15, 2014, WPCS International Incorporated, in connection with a Special Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on May 30, 2014, issued a press release. A copy of the press release is set forth below.

 

DESCRIPTION: WPCS

WPCS Requests Support from Its Shareholders to Vote in Favor of Proposals at Special Meeting of Stockholders

 

EXTON, PA - (Marketwired – May 15, 2014) - WPCS International Incorporated (NASDAQ: WPCS), which specializes in contracting services for communications infrastructure and the development of a Bitcoin trading platform, today is reminding shareholders of the special meeting of the stockholders to be held on May 30, 2014. The board of directors recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” all the proposals at the special meeting.

 

Sebastian Giordano, Interim Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our management team and the board of directors are asking our shareholders for their support at our upcoming Special Meeting. We want to continue to be direct and forthright with our shareholders and explain why a vote “FOR” the following proposals is in the best interest for the future of our Company:

 

· Approving the sale of Australia will divest the Company of a non-core, unprofitable operation, while eliminating the remaining $1.2 severance payment obligation to the Company’s former Chairman and CEO;

 

· The proposal to increase the number of authorized shares will enable the Company to meet its existing obligations under outstanding convertible notes, convertible preferred stock, warrants and stock option agreements. If noteholders converted their remaining notes to common shares, the Company would have a significantly lower amount of debt ; and

 

· Other than for issuances under the proposed Equity Incentive Plan or existing convertible securities, increasing the number of authorized shares would provide the Company with flexibility for future strategic acquisitions or capital raising necessary for building and growing the BTX Trader business.

 

We believe that given the progress that we have made in the last nine months through our restructuring initiatives, by voting in favor of these proposals, WPCS will be in a much better position to capitalize on the next phases of its strategic plan. As previously announced, the potential sales of the Seattle Operations and China Operations could generate approximately $4 million in total cash, and coupled with the possible conversion of notes and resulting debt retirement, our balance sheet would be significantly improved. We believe this improved financial condition will afford WPCS the opportunity to move our remaining contracting and BTX Trader businesses forward, with a capital structure in place to prudently raise growth capital, as needed, and to pursue strategic acquisitions.”

 

Mr. Giordano concluded, “We value and require your ongoing support and believe that we are completing a successful restructuring that would best position the Company for long-term growth and building shareholder value.”
