SAN DIEGO, CA, May 22, 2013 – LRAD Corporation (NASDAQ: LRAD) announced today that it has reached an agreement with Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. and certain of its affiliates (collectively “Iroquois”), under which two new independent directors proposed by Iroquois and a third new independent director mutually selected by the Company and Iroquois will stand for election in place of three independent members of the Company’s current Board of Directors. As part of the agreement, Iroquois will vote all of its shares in support of the new slate of five directors consisting of current directors Thomas R. Brown and Laura M. Clague, and new directors General John G. Coburn, Dennis J. Wend and Richard H. Osgood III, at the Company’s 2013 Annual Meeting.

“We believe this agreement is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders,” stated Tom Brown, chairman, president and CEO of LRAD Corporation. “We appreciate the service and contributions of our outgoing independent directors, Admiral Raymond Smith, Helen Adams and Bill VanDeWeghe. Their knowledge and guidance over the years have been valuable to the Board. We look forward to working together with our new Board members on expanding our business and increasing long term stockholder value.”

The Company and Iroquois have also agreed to settle the pending derivative lawsuit brought by Iroquois, subject to approval by the Delaware Court of Chancery, with the Company agreeing to amend Mr. Brown’s May 2012 stock option grant by raising the strike price from $1.33 to $3.00. The Company also agreed to pay certain Iroquois legal and advisory fees. Iroquois has agreed to certain standstill restrictions that expire prior to the Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting.
