Earlier today, during our
regular quarterly investor conference call, Michael E. Jalbert, Chairman and
CEO of the Company, discussed the proposal to change the Companys name from
EFJ, Inc. to EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. which will be submitted for
stockholder approval at the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders of EFJ,
Inc., to be held on May 28, 2008 at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of
our wholly-owned subsidiary, 3e Technologies International, Inc., located at
9715 Key West Avenue, Suite 500, Rockville, MD 20859. With respect to such proposal, Mr. Jalbert
made the following comments:
Our sales and
marketing goal is simple: win a larger share of the growing markets where
secure communications are critical. In
pursuit of that goal, we are now taking advantage of a centralized sales and
marketing focus that is driving our efforts to expand our non-defense federal
business, increase our emphasis on seeking new state and local customers, and
expand opportunities with non-government customers, such as our new industrial
process initiative.
In concert
with our new sales and marketing campaign and the single streamlined structure
we have put in place, weve included in our proxy a proposal to change the
companys name to EF Johnson Technologies, Inc. As Ive mentioned before, our goal is to have
a single unified brand and corporate identity to help integrate the talents and
technologies of our three units and accurately communicate our full potential
to our customers, and reflect that our future will not be centered on radios, but
on a much wider platform of technology-based secure communications. However, we believe that our 84-year history
is a great asset so we wanted to embrace that.
We think our new name succeeds in meeting those goals. As part of this program, you will start
seeing a new logo, and other marketing efforts once the new name is approved by
stockholders. We will implement this
program over a period of time so that we do not incur spikes in marketing costs
as we move back to profitability.
