Business Wire
CHAD Therapeutics, Inc. (AMEX:CTU) announced today that it has
commenced mailing its definitive proxy statement to shareholders
for approval of its proposed sale of assets related to its oxygen
conserving business to Inovo, Inc., a privately held manufacturer
of oxygen regulators and conservers based in Naples, Florida,
pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 16, 2007.
The Company has scheduled a special meeting of shareholders for
Thursday, January 31, 2008, at 10:00 a.m. PST at CHAD Therapeutics,
Inc, 21622 Plummer Street, Chatsworth, CA, 91311. Shareholders of
record as of the close of business on December 24, 2007, will be
entitled to vote at the meeting. The Company's Board of Directors
has unanimously determined that the proposed asset sale is in the
best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommends
that shareholders vote "FOR" the proposed sale. Shareholders are
encouraged to read the Company's definitive proxy materials in
their entirety. The proxy materials, which were mailed on or about
December 28, 2007, provide, among other things, a detailed
discussion of the process that led to the proposed asset sale, the
reasons behind the Board of Directors' unanimous recommendation and
the risks involved with the sale. Additional copies of the proxy
statement are available without charge from CHAD and also may be
obtained for free from the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
Stockholders who have questions about the asset sale or need
assistance in submitting their proxy or voting their shares should
contact the Company's proxy solicitor, Morrow & Co., LLC, toll
free at 1-800-662-5200. Earl Yager, CHAD's President and CEO said,
"Approval of the asset sale is critical to CHAD's future. Because
failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote against
approving the transaction, we urge shareholders to exercise their
rights by voting their shares as soon as possible after they
receive and review the proxy statement." About CHAD Therapeutics
