HURCO ANNOUNCES RIGHTS OFFERING
INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, June 6, 1996...Hurco Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ Symbol:
HURC) today announced that holders of record of the Company's Common Stock as of
the close of business on June 5, 1996, would receive non-transferable rights to
subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock in a rights offering being
conducted by the Company.
Eligible shareholders will receive two-tenths of a right for each share of
Common Stock owned on the record date. Each whole right will entitle the holder
to purchase one share of Common Stock at a subscription price of $4.63 per

additional share for each five shares owned on the record date.
The subscription price represents a discount of 10% from the average of the
closing sales prices for the 30 trading days ended June 3, 1996, the date
preceding the Company's Board of Directors' approval of the terms of the rights
offering. On June 5, 1996, the closing sales price of the Common Stock as
reported by NASDAQ was $6 5/8 per share.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to be offered to
shareholders in the rights offering is approximately 1,085,300. The rights
offering will expire on July 3, 1996 unless extended by the Company for up to 30
days. A prospectus and related subscription documents will be sent to eligible
shareholders shortly.
Brynwood Partners, II L.P., an affiliate of a major shareholder of the
Company, and two directors of the Company who are affiliated with Brynwood
Partners II L.P., will act as standby purchasers for up to 604,752 shares of
Common Stock.
Proceeds of the rights will be used to prepay indebtedness and for general
corporate purposes.
