On
January 18, 2007, Competitive Technologies, Inc. issued the following press
release:
NANO
GROUP TRIES TO STORM COMPETITIVE TECHNOLOGIES’
HEADQUARTERS
POLICE
CALLED TO SCENE TO REMOVE JOHN NANO
Fairfield,
CT (January 18, 2007) - Competitive Technologies, Inc.-(AMEX: CTT),
a
full
service technology transfer and licensing provider, announced that its ex-CEO,
Mr. John B. Nano, and three of his associates, today attempted to gain entry
into Competitive Technologies’ corporate headquarters. Mr. Nano and his group
showed up unannounced, claiming that his group had won the recent proxy fight
and demanding entry to CTT’s offices. Competitive Technologies called the
Fairfield Police Department to report Mr. Nano’s actions and the police
responded to the scene.
“We
are
appalled by Mr. Nano’s erratic and irrational behavior today. Despite Mr. Nano’s
claims, no election of directors has yet taken place. In our press release
yesterday, we published the information available from IVS Associates, Inc.,
the
independent Inspectors of Election, about stockholders represented Tuesday at
the Annual Meeting, and no quorum was present,” said D.J. Freed, Ph.D.,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Competitive Technologies, Inc. “This is
a critical time for CTT and we are disgusted by the chaos created by Mr. Nano’s
attempt to barge in on us, frightening our employees. We are looking forward
to
putting this matter behind us and moving forward with legitimate business
initiatives, which we will do as soon as possible following the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders, which is scheduled to resume on February 2, 2007 in accordance
with Delaware law and the vote taken before Tuesday’s meeting
adjourned.”
Stockholders
also may vote by attending the reconvened Annual Meeting in person. Any CTT
stockholder of record as of the close of business on November 20, 2006, who
has
not yet returned a proxy card, or voted by Internet or by telephone is strongly
encouraged to contact Morrow & Co., Inc., a proxy solicitation firm that is
assisting us in the solicitation of proxies, at 1-800-267-0201. Any stockholder
who held shares in “street name” through their broker, bank or other custodian
as of the close of business on November 20, 2006, may also contact such broker,
bank or other custodian to receive proxy materials and vote their shares. If
any
stockholder has any questions or needs assistance in voting its shares, they
are
advised to call Morrow & Co., Inc., at 1-800-267-0201. The Company has
engaged an independent firm to verify the voting results.
