Aberdeen dissidents remind shareholders to vote gold

2015-01-20 10:56 ET - News Release

Mr. Ryan Morris of Meson reports

CONCERNED ABERDEEN SHAREHOLDERS RECOMMEND GOLD PROXY BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT, EXPOSE ABERDEEN'S MISLEADING STATEMENTS

Funds controlled by Meson Capital Partners LLC and Nightscape Capital (UK) LLP that hold shares representing approximately 9 per cent of the issued and outstanding shares of Aberdeen International Inc. are urging fellow shareholders to vote for change at Aberdeen with the gold form of proxy before time runs out.

Meson and Nightscape have released a letter highlighting the concerned shareholder's specific action plan for change that will end insider self-dealing and put cash back in the hands of investors while debunking the numerous misleading statements made by Aberdeen insiders.

Highlights of the letter include:

  • Fact: Leading independent proxy advisory research firm ISS recommends investors vote the gold proxy card and do not vote management's blue card.
  • Fact: Concerned shareholders are not engaged in vote buying, as has been falsely accused by Aberdeen management, meanwhile Aberdeen management has failed to confirm that it will not be engaging in vote buying itself.
  • Fact: Ryan Morris and Meson Capital have had plus-250-per-cent better investment returns than Aberdeen International and have extensive experience creating shareholder value with active involvement -- HearUSA: plus 206 per cent; InfuSystem: plus 192 per cent and Sevcon: plus 52 per cent.
  • Fact: The concerned shareholders are not proposing a fire sale of assets, but instead have a detailed plan to maximize value for all shareholders.
  • Fact: The concerned shareholder nominees can and will convene a board meeting if elected.
  • Fact: With the looming threat of an election, in November, Aberdeen completed a private placement 100 per cent to insiders and related parties while attempting to obfuscate this fact using a numbered corporation, to try to dilute your vote.

The concerned shareholders further detail their specific plan that will:

  1. Dramatically lower insider compensation by over 80 per cent;
  2. Cease related party self-dealing;
  3. Immediately return 15 cents cash directly to shareholders.

The full letter can be found at the Free Aberdeen website. Every vote is important, vote gold for change before it is too late.
