PR Newswire (US)
LOS ANGELES, July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- On July 20, 2007,
the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio
ordered that Dafcan Finance and One Equity Corporation of
Westerville, Ohio deposit common shares of Veltex Corporation (Pink
Sheets: VLXC) with the Court. The Court's order arises out of a
suit filed by Javeed Matin, principal shareholder, against those
entities with respect to a transaction pursuant to which Mr. Matin
pledged 2,000,000 shares of his stock to secure a loan for
financing a stock buy back program of Veltex Corporation. Veltex
announced late last year a share repurchase program. Mr. Matin
alleges that the shares were improperly sold during the month of
March of this year in violation of the loan agreement and has
sought to rescind the transaction. The defendants contend that the
shares were transacted pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
loan agreement, and that Mr. Matin is in breach of his obligations
under that agreement to repay his loan. In a prior proceeding on
May 29, 2007, by agreement, the defendants were ordered by the
Court to repurchase 2,000,000 shares, in the open market, by June
29, 2007. However, the defendants revealed that they were able to
purchase only 116,000 shares because of market conditions. Mr.
Matin has requested that Dafcan and One Equity, and their
principals, be held in contempt. The Defendants contend, there was
no contempt of the Agreed Order. The hearing is July 31, 2007 in
Columbus, Ohio. The pleadings in the case can be seen on
