clickNsettle.com to Explore Strategic Alternatives GREAT NECK, N.Y., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- clickNsettle.com, Inc. (OTC:CLIK) (BULLETIN BOARD: CLIK) , a global provider of innovative dispute resolution solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has decided to explore strategic alternatives for the Company in an effort to protect shareholder value. The Board is open to all potential alternatives, including merger candidates, as well as the purchase or privatization of the existing business. There can be no assurance that these efforts will result in a transaction or, if a transaction does take place, what terms it will be made on and what impact it will have on the stock price. The CEO articulated to the Board that should the existing business be privatized, he expressed that it is probable that he would submit a bid in such a process. Roy Israel, President and CEO, stated, "As a result of the numerous scandals in recent years and the passing of the Sarbanes-Oxley act to safeguard shareholders, micro-cap companies such as ours are faced with mounting legal and auditing fees to meet the new compliance requirements now needed to remain public. Not only are these new requirements extremely costly in terms of out-of-pocket expenditures, but also, are very time-consuming and place a strain on our limited personnel resources. While we remain optimistic about the need for the Company's services, we believe that the unavoidability of these escalating costs shortens the timeframe that the company needs in order to realize revenues from many of its sales and marketing initiatives. Therefore, the present scenario necessitates that we look at all possible transactions which are in the best interests of the shareholders."
