NEW YORK, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Pinnacle Fund ("Pinnacle") and Red Oak Partners ("Red Oak") expressed satisfaction that proxy advisor RiskMetrics ("RMG") recommended stockholders of Forgent networks, d/b/a Asure Software, Inc. ("ASUR") not vote for any of ASUR's incumbent directors, but instead vote on the BLUE Pinnacle proxy card and cast votes for David Sandberg and Pat Goepel. Pinnacle's David Sandberg stated, "We are gratified that RiskMetrics recognizes that 'the company's sustained share price underperformance, declining profitability, and lack of noticeable improvement in the financial metrics, is indicative of the board's inability to enhance shareholder value over the long-run' and that 'RMG is critical of the compensation practices at Asure and believes that the board has not demonstrated a strong commitment to good corporate governance. On this basis, we feel the dissident has met the burden that change is warranted.'" The RiskMetrics recommendation was consistent with the recommendation of PROXY Governance, which on August 20th recommended that shareholders vote the BLUE card in favor of David Sandberg, Pat Goepel and Robert Graham, and not vote for any company incumbent nominees. Pinnacle and Red Oak believe ASUR desperately needs change. If shareholders agree, they are encouraged to vote FOR Pinnacle's slate by completing and returning the BLUE proxy card or by contacting MacKenzie Partners, Inc. at 800-322-2885, 212-929-5500 or via email at with any questions or for assistance in voting their shares. Shareholders are encouraged to also contact MacKenzie at the above information if they do not yet have a BLUE proxy card.
