BlueLine Commences Criticare Proxy Solicitation
DANVILLE, CA – (PR NEWSWIRE) – Sept 12, 2006 – BlueLine Partners, LLC, the largest stockholder of Criticare Systems, Inc. (AMEX: CMD), today announced that it is commencing its stockholder consent solicitation to re-form Criticare’s board of directors.
“We think it is time for Criticare’s stockholders to have their interests represented on the board by a majority of directors who are both independent of management and who have the experience and expertise necessary to guide Criticare through its current challenges,” said Scott Shuda, a managing director at BlueLine. “The new board of directors will seek to understand whether Criticare is performing at less than its full potential and if any actions that can be taken to improve the situation,” Shuda continued. Except for one BlueLine representative, the proposed new board of directors will also be independent of BlueLine.
BlueLine has set August 28, 2006 as the record date for the consent solicitation. Stockholders who owned shares at the close of business on August 28, 2006 may vote in this consent solicitation. Instructions for voting shares are included within the stockholder consent which may be obtained from BlueLine’s website atwww.bluelinepartners.com.
BlueLine disclosed its intention to seek stockholder consent to re-form Criticare’s board of directors on August 22, 2006. On the day prior to BlueLine’s filing, Criticare’s stock price closed at $2.79. On August 23, 2006, Criticare’s stock price closed at $3.80, a 36% improvement. “We believe the immediate increase in the company’s stock price is an indication that the company’s stockholders see our proposals as a positive step for the company,” Shuda said.
Additional Information and Where to Find It
BlueLine has filed a consent solicitation statement and other relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Before making any voting decision with respect to the proposed solicitation, Criticare stockholders are urged to read the consent solicitation statement and other relevant materials because they will contain important information about the proposed solicitation. The consent solicitation statement and other relevant materials, and any other documents filed by BlueLine with the SEC, may be obtained free of charge at the SEC’s website atwww.sec.gov.
