FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vu1 Corporation to Evaluate Strategic Alternatives
July 31, 2015 – Vu1 Corporation today announced that the board of directors has initiated a process to explore strategic alternatives, including but not limited to a possible sale of the Company, a strategic partnership, a technology licensing agreement, or an additional raise of equity capital.
The Company’s focus will be to find the best alternative enabling it to continue to develop, produce and market its unique Electron Stimulated Luminescence (ESL) technology in order to maximize the value of the business and intellectual property.
The Company said there can be no assurance that any transaction will occur, or, if one is undertaken, its terms or timing. The Company stated that it does not have a defined timeline for the strategic review process and does not expect to update its progress or disclose developments with respect to the assessment of strategic alternatives unless the Board of Directors has approved a definitive transaction on terms that the board of directors believes will be in the best interests of the shareholders of Vu1.
