THE NOVAMETRIX 13D SHAREHOLDERS GROUP
September 23, 1996
Dear Shareholders:
We have just received a letter dated September 13, 1996 that Management
has sent to all shareholders of Novametrix. Frankly, we are amazed that the
Management and Directors of your company - a respectable public company -
should sink to such a level of violent name calling and character
assassination.
We had hoped that they would give you the complete facts on the Andros
merger, which we have been trying to get from them ever since they announced it
last July.
We were disappointed again.
Instead of facts, shareholders were given a three-page harangue repeatedly
denouncing the motives, truthfulness and integrity of the 13D Group and
deriding the qualifications of its nominees for Directors. (Speaking of
special qualifications, the business of their own director, Michael J. Needham,
is listed in the 1995 proxy statement as "designer of entertainment
attractions".)
YOU ARE ENTITLED TO MORE RESPECT FROM YOUR MANAGEMENT.
We think that as Shareholders you are entitled to solid timely information
about vital issues - such as the Andros merger.
We think that as Shareholders you are entitled to factual objective
communications from Management, not just harangues full of bad language; and
WE WANT TO MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR:
EVERY STATEMENT WE HAVE MADE IN OUR LETTERS IS FACTUALLY CORRECT AND BASED
ON YOUR COMPANY'S OWN RECORDS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE LISTS OF SHAREHOLDERS GIVEN TO
US BY THE COMPANY DID NOT LIST DIRECTORS MICHAEL J. NEEDHAM OR STEVEN J.
SHULMAN AS PERSONALLY OWNING COMMON STOCK IN THE COMPANY. THE COMPANY HAS
NEVER DENIED THAT.
We urge you again:
VOTE NO CONFIDENCE: VOTE THE GREEN CARD
