On January 15, 2009, STEN Corporation (the “Company”) first mailed a letter to the holders of its renewable unsecured subordinated notes (the “subordinated notes”), a copy of which letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The letter to the holders of the subordinated notes contains certain material non-public information regarding the Company.
Forward Looking Statements
The letter to subordinated note holders attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 contains forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any statements contained therein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward looking statements include, for example, statements about the Company’s business or future results, statements about the Company’s intentions with respect to the subordinated notes, and statements about the Company’s ability to repay the subordinated notes. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include market conditions and other factors beyond the Company’s control and the risk factors and other cautionary statements described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 28, 2008 and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
