Millennium India Acquisition Company announces receipt of proceeds
from sale of stock and adjournment of annual meeting
New York, New York — December 12, 2013 — Millennium India Acquisition Company, Inc. (“MIAC” or the “Company), announced the following corporate updates:
Sale of SMC Global Securities Ltd. Stock
The Company hereby announces that it has received $ 1,376,890.46 ($0.1675 per MIAC share) resulting from the previously announced transaction to sell 1,131,345 shares of its investment in SMC Global Securities LTD (“SMC”). This price translates to $ 1.22 per SMC share. After completion of the sale, MIAC still holds 14,736,035 shares of SMC. Based on the selling price in this transaction ($1.22 per SMC share), the imputed value to MIAC’s remaining position in SMC is $17,934,331, which translates into $2.18 per MIAC share (not including the $0.1675 of cash per MIAC share received from the sale). However, there can be no assurance that MIAC can sell any of its remaining shares in SMC at the same price as its recent sale or at any other price, or that this price is a fair representation of the value of SMC.
David H. Lesser, Chairman and CEO of MIAC, stated: “This transaction creates some liquidity for MIAC as it seeks to create shareholder value by expanding its business plan. We look forward to the possibility of reporting back regarding further progress in the near future.”
Annual Meeting of Shareholders
The Company hereby announces that its annual meeting of shareholders scheduled for this morning (December 12, 2013) at 9:00 AM has been adjourned based on a failure to achieve a quorum. The meeting will now be held on January 6, 2013 at 3:00 PM at the offices of Morrison Cohen, LLP, 909 Third Avenue, 27th Floor, New York, NY 10022.
Mr. Lesser commented: “I urge all shareholders to vote their shares regardless of how many or how few shares they hold. This will help us hold our meeting without incurring additional costs, receive input from our shareholders and move forward with our efforts to create shareholder value.”
