User-Friendly Continues to Urge a Vote AGAINST East Asset Management Transaction
User-Friendly Phone Book, LLC (“User-Friendly”) announced today that it believes the first quarter financial results of Rand Capital Corporation (“Rand”) (NASDAQ:RAND) further supports liquidating the portfolio assets will provide more value to shareholders than the East Asset Management transaction. In its earnings release of May 2, 2019, Rand reported an increase in net asset value (“NAV”) to $5.06 per share, highlighting the steeply discounted $3.00 per share purchase price being offered to East in the transaction.
Further, Rand management continued to state its view that liquidating the portfolio would yield less than $3.00 per share. However, this view is empirically belied by the realization of Rand’s investment in eHealth Global Technologies, Inc., which provided $3.725 million, or approximately 6% more than eHealth’s $3.5 million carrying value reported as of December 31, 2018. User-Friendly believes the realization of this investment is empirical evidence that supports, contrary to management’s misleading claims, liquidating the portfolio would yield in excess of $3.00 per share being paid by East in the transaction. Management’s statements appear to be driven more by a desire to retain their excessive compensation arrangements than serving the shareholders' interests. User-Friendly continues to believe that management and the Rand Board of Directors have agreed to sell control of Rand for materially inadequate consideration relative to the fair value of Rand’s assets.
