TAGLICH ANNOUNCES OVERWHELMING INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT
Michael N. Taglich announced today that he has already received pledges of
support from shareholders owning in excess of 2.0 million shares of ECC
International.
Mr. Taglich said, "This level of support so early in the process is heartening.
I am particularly pleased that a majority of the institutional holders are in
favor of my proposals. It is always gratifying to receive the support of
professional investors and money managers. I am confident of victory, and look
forward to all shareholders benefiting from my efforts."
Mr. Taglich's proposals are intended to foster shareholder democracy at ECC and
to prod the Company to recognize the need to maximize shareholder value.
ECC has opposed Taglich's proposals. Mr. George Murphy in his letter to
shareholders of November 20, stated that Mr. Taglich's proposal to allow
shareholders owning 10% of outstanding shares to call a special meeting was not
the practice at many S&P 500 Companies.
Mr. Taglich commented, "ECC is not an S&P 500 Company, were I a director or
manager of ECC I would be very cautious about comparing the price performance
of ECC's shares to the S&P 500 index."
