MIND Technology Announces New Date for Meeting of Preferred Stockholders and Revised Record Date

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MIND Technology, Inc. (“MIND” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MIND; MINDP) reconvened its virtual special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of holders of its 9% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) today and then further adjourned the meeting until Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.  The Special Meeting is being held to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Preferred Stock, which provides that each share of Preferred Stock may be converted into 3.9 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Preferred Stock Proposal”).  Preferred stockholders have previously approved a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting one or more times to give the Company’s management additional time to solicit additional proxies to approve the Preferred Stock Proposal.  Given the length of the adjournment, a new record date of Tuesday, July 16, 2024 has been established for the Special Meeting.

The Company will file a revised proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and distribute such proxy to holders of record as of July 16, 2024 who will be eligible to vote at the Special Meeting.  Previously voted proxies are no longer valid.

Rob Capps, President and CEO of MIND, stated, “We understand that the new meeting date creates some confusion since previously cast proxies are no longer valid and must be voted again.  However, due to the volume of Preferred Stock traded subsequent to the previous record date of April 26, 2024, a significant number of preferred stockholders had become disenfranchised and were not able to vote.  Subsequent to the previous record date, more than 680,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been traded, which represents approximately 40% of the total shares outstanding.  We have been contacted by a number of such holders who expressed their concern.  By adjourning the Special Meeting to a later date and establishing a new record date, these holders will now be able to vote on the Preferred Stock Proposal.  We think that given the significant remaining unvoted shares and the strong support for the proposal from those who have voted, this is the most appropriate course of action,” concluded Capps.
