Camac Reports Successful Certification of Votes for Call of Special Meeting
New York, August 23, 2019 – Camac Partners, LLC (“Camac”), the investment manager of Camac Fund, LP, today announced that it was successful in its efforts to request the call of a special meeting of stockholders of Liberated Syndication, Inc. (OTCQB: LSYN) (“Libsyn”). On August 22, 2019, the independent inspector of election confirmed that a sufficient number of Libsyn’s stockholders exercised their right to call a special meeting. If Libsyn does not call a special meeting, then Camac is permitted to call the special meeting beginning on September 14, 2019.
“We again thank our fellow stockholders for their support in this process,” said Eric Shahinian, the founder and managing member of Camac. “At long last stockholders will have an opportunity to put a stop to the egregious behavior of Libsyn’s board of directors.”
Camac reminds its fellow stockholders of the following:
• | Since Libsyn’sspin-out from FAB Universal Corp., Libsyn’s board has authorized the issuance of over 10 million new shares to insiders for no financial consideration. Libsyn’sstockholders will have been diluted by 49% if these shares fully vest. |
• | In 2019, Christopher J. Spencer, Libsyn’s chief executive officer, is slated to receive a $400,000 salary and an $800,000 bonus, and John Busshaus, Libsyn’s chief financial officer, is slated to receive a $350,000 salary and a $700,000 bonus.This amounts to over 59% of Libsyn’s 2018 income. |
• | Libsyn’s board approved massive share awards to Messrs. Spencer and Busshaus that were conditioned on the achievement of certain milestones. Camac believes that Libsyn’s board has recently taken a number of troubling actions topermit the vesting of one of these awards where Libsyn management had not met the applicable performance threshold, and extended the time to achieve the thresholds for other awards. |
Camac is committed to maximizing value for stockholders. If successful in its efforts to elect new directors at the special meeting, Camac believes that it will be incumbent upon the new board of directors to evaluate any and all legal actions seeking to rescind prior stock awards granted to the prior board members, inflated pay packages that were not properly voted for, as well as investigate any potential additional misuse of corporate funds through related party agreements or transactions, inflated expenses, or the like.
Camac owns approximately 6.5 percent of Libsyn, and has been a stockholder since 2017.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
On August 8, 2019, Camac filed a preliminary proxy statement in connection with the special meeting of stockholders of Libsyn. Prior to the special meeting of stockholders, Camac intends to furnish a definitive proxy statement, together with a WHITE proxy card, to Libsyn’s stockholders. STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS THERETO) AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
