FUNDS UNSOLICITED PROPOSAL AS INADEQUATE
MADISON HEIGHTS, MICHIGAN, June 19, 2017InfuSystem Holdings, Inc. (NYSE MKT: INFU) (InfuSystem or the Company), a leading national provider of infusion pumps and related services for the healthcare industry in the United States and Canada, announced today that its Board of Directors, with the assistance of legal counsel, has carefully reviewed 22NW Fund, LPs unsolicited proposal and determined that the $2.00 per share proposal is inadequate and that pursuing such a transaction at the present time is not in the best interests of InfuSystems stockholders. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has rejected 22NW Funds proposal.
Gregg Lehman, chairman of the board of InfuSystem commented, We formed an Office of the President on May 18, 2017. Since that time, we have focused on and made substantial progress improving three areas of the business: cash collections, finance (bank debt, liquidity) and IT operations (increasing the operating leverage from our past IT investments). We firmly believe that these initiatives, if given adequate time, will improve the Companys operations and deliver substantial value to shareholders from the current levels.
This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval.
