ZRBA Zareba Systems (MM)

Zareba Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:ZRBA) today announced that it has amended its Schedule 13E-3 and related information statement originally filed on August 12, 2009 to reflect a new development. As described in the amendment, on August 14, 2009, the Company received a written proposal from Woodstream Corporation, a company that had previously provided preliminary proposals to acquire the Company, to purchase all of the issued and outstanding stock of the Company at a price of $5.50 per share, subject to certain contingencies. Following conversations between Dale Nordquist, President and Chief Executive Officer, and representatives of Woodstream, the Company’s Board of Directors met on August 18, 2009 to consider this proposal. The Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to continue to pursue its business plan, including the previously-announced proposed transaction intended to result in the voluntary termination of the registration of the Company’s common stock, reaffirmed its position that the Company is not for sale at this time, and declined Woodstream’s proposal. While the Board has determined that the Company is currently not for sale, it regularly reviews that status and considers proposals it receives, and the Board reaffirmed that if it decides that it would be in the best interests of the shareholders to sell the Company, it will do so in a process intended to realize the best transaction for the shareholders and other constituents, and a private negotiation with Woodstream is not that process.
