United American Healthcare Corporation Announces Lawsuit Against Strategic Turnaround Equity Partners And Postponement Of Annual Meeting Of Shareholders

 

DETROIT, June 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United American Healthcare Corporation (Nasdaq: UAHC) today announced it intends over the next several days to file a lawsuit for violations of federal securities laws against Strategic Turnaround Equity Partners, LP (Cayman), a Cayman Islands limited partnership and UAHC director Bruce Galloway, and their associates, and for violations of Michigan law against Mr. Galloway in the United States District Court or the Eastern District of Michigan.

"Our Company has determined that Strategic Equity Partners and the other participants in its proxy solicitation, in violation of law and Mr. Galloway's fiduciary duties, have engaged in an outrageous campaign to disseminate false and misleading information about UAHC, the Board of Directors and management," said William Brooks, CEO of United American Healthcare.  "From the outset of this proxy contest, we have endeavored to take the high road, making our case to shareholders based on facts and reason, without resorting to the sort of mudslinging taken up by the dissidents.  Unfortunately, our opponents have created an environment of misinformation designed to obscure and denigrate the highly competent work of our Board and management team, and mislead investors as they vote on the future direction of our Company.  These actions constitute a betrayal by Mr. Galloway and have caused investor confusion that has necessitated postponement of the annual meeting."

Effective immediately, Galloway has been removed from the Finance and Audit Committee, and the Company has postponed its upcoming Annual Shareholders' Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 29, 2010.  The Company will reschedule the Annual Shareholders' Meeting and set a revised meeting date and record date for shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting as soon as possible.
