LecTec
Corporation Reschedules
Shareholders Meeting to
June 19, 2008
April
8, 2008 - - Edina, MN - LecTec Corporation (OTCBB: LECT) announced
today that its shareholders meeting, which was originally scheduled to be held
on April 25, 2008, is being rescheduled and will now occur on Thursday, June
19,
2008. The delay in holding the meeting was attributed primarily to delays
encountered in getting LecTec’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC. In addition, the Board of Directors
of
the Company concluded, in consultation with its advisors, that delaying the
meeting by a few weeks would allow the Company to make significant additional
progress in its assessment of its patent portfolio and strategy which could
impact presentations at the meeting.
As
previously disclosed in filings with the SEC, the filing of LecTec’s Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007 has been delayed
due
to the unexpected illness and related work constraints of the Company’s sole
employee who was not able to timely prepare the Company’s Annual Report. LecTec
expects to file the Annual Report, which under SEC rules must precede the
mailing of the Proxy Statement for the meeting, no later than April 15,
2008.
The
Company will hold its rescheduled shareholders meeting on Thursday June 19,
2008
at 3:00 pm Central Daylight Time at the Hilton Garden Inn Eden Prairie Hotel,
6330 Point Chase, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344. A Proxy Statement for the
meeting and a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB will be mailed
to shareholders of record as of April 28, 2008 in May 2008.
