Red
Oak
Announces Its Plan to Make A Tender Offer For 1.5 Million Shares of Proginet
Corporation.
July
18,
2007 (New York, New York) Red Oak Fund, LP, a fund managed by Red Oak Partners,
LLC announced today that it intends to commence a friendly tender offer to
acquire up to 1.5 million shares of the common stock of Proginet Corporation
(PRGF.OB) at a price, net to the seller, of $1.65 per share on Monday, July
23,
2007. This offer is being made because Red Oak has an interest in the
Company and believes its prospects for success in the future are good, said
David Sandberg, Red Oak’s Managing Director. “We believe the Company
is well managed and represents an attractive investment, and we are making
this
offer because the number of shares available in over-the-counter transactions
has been insufficient. Also, we want to be sure that all
shareholders, not just those who follow the bulletin board market, have a chance
to decide whether they wish to accept our offer.”
Red
Oak’s
offer price will represent a premium of approximately 25 cents per share over
the closing price on July 18, 2007, the trading day before the first
announcement of the offer, which represents approximately an 18%
premium. This represents a premium of approximately 29% to the
average price at which Proginet was trading on the over-the-counter bulletin
board market in the six month period preceding this announcement and a premium
of approximately 48% to the average trading price for the one year period
preceding this announcement.
Red
Oak
Partners is a privately held investment fund formed for the purpose of investing
primarily in publicly traded equity securities.
Red
Oak’s
offer to purchase will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on
Schedule TO and will be made only by a formal offer to purchase and letter
of
transmittal which will be mailed to all shareholders of record as of a recent
date.
PRGF
shareholders should read the tender offer statement and other related documents
when they become available because they will contain important
information. The tender offer statement and other filed documents
will be available for free at the Securities Exchange Commission’s website and
the tender offer statement will be provided at no cost by Red
Oak. Stockholders are encouraged to contact Mr. David Sandberg,
Managing Director of Red Oak at telephone number (212) 614-8952 or by email
