TMNG Global Amends Stockholder Rights Plan
to Increase Ownership Threshold
Overland Park, KS – July 19, 2010 – The Management Network Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: TMNG) ("TMNG" or the "Company") today announced that it has amended and restated its stockholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"). The Company previously announced in May 2010 its intention to amend the Rights Plan.
The Company amended the Rights Plan to, among other things, increase the ownership threshold under the Rights Plan from five percent (5%) to fifteen percent (15%) and delete the provisions of the Rights Plan relating to the Company's net operating loss carryforwards. The Company also amended the Rights Plan to reflect adjustments resulting from the Company's 1-for-5 reverse stock split that was effected on February 7, 2010 and to change the period for independent director reviews of the Rights Plan from every year to every three years. In addition, the Rights Plan was amended to also apply to ownership of securities where a holder uses a contract, arrangement or device (including any derivative, swap or similar transaction or instrument) to divest beneficial ownership of the securities to avoid triggering the Rights Plan or to evade the reporting requirements of the federal securities laws.
Additional information regarding the Rights Plan as amended and restated, including other amendments updating and revising the Rights Plan, will be contained in a current report on Form 8-K that the Company is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This filing will be available at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
