ULURU INC. ANNOUNCES ADJOURNMENT OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS UNTIL MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2011
Addison, Texas, June 1, 2011; ULURU Inc. (NYSE AMEX: ULU) today announced that the Annual Meeting of Stockholders has been adjourned with respect to Proposal No. 3, a proposal to authorize the Board of Directors to amend the Company’s Restated Articles of Incorporation at any time prior to July 31, 2011 to effect a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock at a ratio to be determined by the Board of Directors but not to exceed 15 pre-reverse-split shares into one post-reverse-split share.
As of April 4, 2011, the record date, 87,341,709 shares of common stock were eligible to vote. As of June 1, 2011, approximately 68% of the Company’s outstanding shares have been voted on this proposal, and of these shares 41,197,259 shares had been voted in favor of the charter amendment which is 2,473,596 short of the required vote for approval of the proposal. “Given that our voting stockholders are strongly in favor of the charter amendment, we believe it is important that stockholders who have not yet voted be provided additional time to vote,” stated Kerry P. Gray, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of ULURU Inc. “We encourage those stockholders who have not yet voted to vote ‘for’ the proposal.”
The meeting is being adjourned to provide ULURU with additional time to solicit proxies from its stockholders with respect to Proposal No. 3. During the pendency of the adjourned meeting, stockholders are encouraged to vote on Proposal No. 3. Stockholders may also change their vote for Proposal No. 3 by executing a new proxy, revoking a previously given proxy or attending the meeting and voting in person, as set forth in ULURU’s proxy statement.
The Company’s stockholders voted today to approve the election of directors and the appointment of Lane Gorman Trubitt, PLLC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. The results of the stockholder votes on the other proposals which were considered and voted upon at the Annual Meeting will be released in a separate 8-K filing.
The adjournment with respect to Proposal No. 3 will be until 10:00 a.m., Central Standard Time, on Thursday, June 16, 2011 at the offices of ULURU Inc., 4452 Beltway Drive, Addison, TX 75001. At that meeting, a stockholder vote on Proposal 3 regarding the charter amendment will take place.
ULURU previously filed a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 20, 2011 pursuant to which ULURU is soliciting proxies in connection with Proposal No. 3. Stockholders are urged to read the proxy statement and other relevant documents filed with the SEC.
