xG Technology, Inc. (“xG” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: XGTI), whose
brands are recognized as the global leaders in live video
communications, today announced it has changed its corporate name
to Vislink Technologies, Inc., with immediate effect. The new
corporate name has been chosen to better reflect the Company’s

solutions. In addition to the new corporate name, the Company will
be changing its ticker symbol on NASDAQ to VISL. The Company will
issue a separate press release announcing the date upon which the
new ticker symbol will become effective. Until that date, the
Company’s stock will continue to trade under the existing XGTI
ticker symbol. The adoption of the Vislink Technologies name
underscores the culmination of the refocus, restructure and new
priorities that have been established by the Company. The name
change is part of a larger global repositioning of its brands that
emphasizes the Company’s leadership in designing, manufacturing and
deploying innovative video solutions in broadcast, media and
MIL/GOV (military, government and public safety) markets.
Customers, vendors and partners of its IMT and Vislink brands will
not be impacted by the name change.
“The adoption of the Vislink Technologies name
reflects that we have completely transformed our business through
our IMT and Vislink brands,” said Roger Branton, CEO of Vislink
Technologies. “As we have now fully realigned and refined the
Company’s overarching business focus and strategy, unifying our
operations under the new Vislink Technologies name better enables
us to clearly convey the value proposition of our brand
portfolio.”
Mr. Branton continued, “As the market for
on-demand, immersive media experiences grows, we plan to capitalize
on our leadership as a provider of robust, reliable, live video
technologies to clients in both the public and private sectors. We
look forward to providing further updates to shareholders on our
developments as we continue to achieve our objectives and hit our
milestones.”
