Digirad Announces Final Annual Meeting Results
Shareholders Elect All Five Company Nominees, Approve All Three Proposals on Ballot
(firmenpresse) - POWAY, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/10/13 -- Digirad Corporation (NASDAQ: DRAD) today announced the final shareholder voting results from the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which was held on May 3, 2013. The final certified results indicate that each of the five Company nominees was elected to the Digirad Board of Directors: Jeffrey E. Eberwein, John M. Climaco, Charles M. Gillman, James B. Hawkins, and John W. Sayward.
Corporate Election Services, the independent inspector of elections, tabulated and certified the final election results. More than 15 million votes, or approximately 78 percent of the outstanding shares, were voted in the election and a solid majority was cast for each of the five Digirad nominees.
In addition, the final results indicate that Digirad shareholders approved all three proposals on the ballot: the advisory votes on executive compensation and non-employee director compensation and the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accountants.
Jeff Eberwein, Chairman of the Board of Directors, stated, "We are gratified to have received the support of our stockholders and we will remain focused on creating value on their behalf. We are disappointed that Red Oak Partners, who had nominated an alternative slate of directors, has continued to disparage the company despite the final vote of shareholders where management's nominees received significantly more votes than Red Oak Partner's nominees. The Company believes it acted in accordance with the highest standards of conduct during the proxy contest and denies all allegations made by Red Oak Partners. The Board and management team intend on moving forward with its strategy and are encouraged with the pace of change at the company as it restructures and refocuses on its cash generating business units, where profitable growth is more attainable and predictable."
