MIND Technology Reminds Preferred Stockholders of the Virtual Special Meeting

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, May 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As previously announced, MIND Technology, Inc. (“MIND” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MIND; MINDP) will hold a virtual special meeting of holders of its 9% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “preferred stock”) on June 13, 2024 to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Preferred Stock.  If approved, the proposed amendment provides that each share of preferred stock may be converted into 3.9 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “common stock”) at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at any time prior to July 31, 2024 (the “proposal”).

Preferred stockholders as of the record date of April 26, 2024 are entitled to vote at a virtual Special Meeting of Preferred Stockholders to be held June 13, 2024.  The affirmative vote of two thirds (66 2/3%) of the outstanding shares of preferred stock is required for approval of the proposal. Holders of the Company’s common stock are not entitled to vote at this meeting.

Rob Capps, President and CEO of MIND, stated, “We are very pleased with the feedback we have received so far on the proposal and believe the proposal is in the best interests of all stakeholders in MIND as it provides financial flexibility and simplifies our capital structure.  The amendment provides the best opportunity to change our capital structure to take advantage of our improving operations and create additional value for all stockholders.  The continued accrual of preferred stock dividends creates an ‘overhang’ which limits our ability to obtain growth capital and makes us less attractive to potential partners.

“I urge holders of our preferred stock to vote in favor of this proposal. Those who hold their shares in street name through a broker or other nominee are encouraged to contact their broker or financial advisor regarding how to vote their shares.”

A presentation regarding the proposal is available on the investor relations section of the Company’s website and can be accessed through the following link:
