Premier Exhibitions Board
CHICAGO, December 5, 2008 — Sellers Capital LLC (Sellers), the largest shareholder of Premier Exhibitions, Inc. (Premier) (PRXI), representing approximately 16.3% of the outstanding shares, today announced that it has filed a Preliminary Consent Solicitation Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Preliminary Consent Statement was filed in connection with its soliciting shareholders to elect four independent directors to fill vacancies on the Premier board.
Sellers announced on November 21 its intention to solicit consents from shareholders to elect four independent directors to fill vacancies on the Premier Exhibitions Board. Sellers is proposing a slate of independent and knowledgeable directors to fill the four vacancies on the Board. The proposed directors all have significant turnaround experience. The four directors being proposed by Sellers Capital are Christopher J. Davino, William M. Adams, Jack Jacobs and Bruce Steinberg. William M. Adams of Alpine Investors, LP is replacing Michael Duran, also of Alpine Investors.
Sellers hopes to mail definitive materials to shareholders in early January after the SEC responds to its Preliminary Consent Solicitation Statement.
Sellers, through the Altman Group, which has been retained to solicit consents, has established a toll-free number for investors to call if they would like more information. That number is 866-828-6934. If you own shares of Premier, we invite you to call this toll-free number and give us your name and contact information so that we may contact you when the solicitation begins.
