BlueLine Describes
Special Criticare Voting Procedures
DANVILLE, Calif., Sept 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ BlueLine Partners today described the special voting
procedures being used for its stockholder consent solicitation at Criticare Systems, Inc.
(AMEX: CMD). These procedures are required, in part, due to Criticares failure to
comply with BlueLines request for a list of stockholders.
BlueLine has been contacted by many
Criticare stockholders asking how to vote their shares in favor of the BlueLine proposals.
In a more typical situation, BlueLine would use the stockholder list to mail each
shareholder a copy of the consent solicitation.
We cannot do a mailing without
the stockholder list, said Scott Shuda, a managing director at BlueLine. We
clearly have strong support among the companys stockholders and therefore believe we
can proceed immediately and without doing the normal mailing, Shuda continued.
To assist stockholder voting,
BlueLine has made the consent solicitation statement and voting instructions available on
its website at www.bluelinepartners.com. Stockholders who hold their shares through a
broker or other nominee (i.e., in street name) and wish to vote for
BlueLines proposals will need to forward the consent to their broker with
instructions that their shares be voted in favor of BlueLines proposals. In most
cases, this can be done via email. Anyone requiring assistance should contact Scott Shuda
of BlueLine at 925-648-2085.
Ive already spoken with
representatives of several clearing firms and each is now ready to vote the Criticare
shares upon request, said Shuda. We anticipated that Criticares
management would seek to disregard our requests for the stockholder list and we will do
what is necessary to permit Criticares stockholders to exercise their rights,
Shuda continued.
Additional Information
and Where to Find It
BlueLine has filed a consent
solicitation statement and other relevant materials with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). Before making any voting decision with respect to the
proposed solicitation, Criticare stockholders are urged to read the consent solicitation
statement and other relevant materials because they will contain important information
about the proposed solicitation. The consent solicitation statement and other relevant
materials, and any other documents filed by BlueLine with the SEC, may be obtained free of
charge at the SECs website at www.sec.gov. In addition, copies of the consent
statement are available at BlueLines website at www.bluelinepartners.com or by mail
to BlueLine, 4115 Blackhawk Plaza Circle, Danville, CA 94506, attention: Scott A. Shuda,
telephone: 925-648-2085. You may also read and copy any reports, statements and other
information filed with the SEC at the SEC public reference room at 100 F Street N.E.,
Washington, D.C. 20549. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 or visit the SECs
website for further information on its public reference room.
Interests of Certain
Persons in the Solicitation
BlueLine and its officers may be
deemed to be participants in the solicitation of consents from Criticare stockholders in
favor of the proposed consent solicitation. William M. Moore, an officer of BlueLine, has
interests in the transaction that may differ from the interests of Criticare stockholders
generally, inasmuch as he will be elected to the Criticare board of directors if the
consent solicitation is successful. These interests are described in the consent
solicitation statement.
