ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2016 / Paragon Technologies, Inc., which has initiated a proxy contest at the annual meeting of Rubicon Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: RBCN) scheduled to be held on June 24, 2016, today called on Rubicon to explain the unilateral appointment by the incumbent Board of a new director with a questionable record in the midst of an election process, bypassing a vote of shareholders.

On Tuesday, May 31, long after mailing its proxy statement and annual meeting materials to shareholders, Rubicon abruptly announced the appointment of a new director to the Board, Timothy E. Brog. The incumbent Board appointed Brog “effective immediately” and as a Class II director immune from any vote of shareholders until “the 2018 annual meeting.”

Most alarming, the Rubicon Board appears to either have failed to vet Brog’s background or they are unconcerned about his questionable record, which includes:

• Brog has a history of multiple SEC violations, including multiple disclosure violations in activist campaigns.
• Brog was arrested on drug charges just three years ago.
• Brog recently underwent a contentious divorce in which the court cited his “drug arrest” and “infidelity” as causes for the marital discord.

Paragon calls on the Rubicon Board to immediately explain this very concerning track record.

Brog’s appointment is an appalling affront to shareholder rights and responsible corporate governance. The Rubicon Board decided to bypass the annual meeting and directly appoint their own hand-picked stand-in director. Brog appears to be a journeyman director regularly added as a stand-in for contested elections, including in multiple cases where his nomination was forced to be withdrawn or was declared deficient and invalid.

The Rubicon Board also saw fit to immediately reward Brog with generous compensation. Rubicon stated that Brog received an immediate “equity compensation grant…of 73,529 shares of restricted common stock…with an estimated value of $50,000” plus “a one-time cash payment of $50,000” plus he will receive “an annualized base fee of $70,000 for his service on the Board” plus if Brog “is appointed to any committees of the Board, he will receive additional committee service compensation.” Although not disclosed in Rubicon’s Form 8-K reporting Brog’s appointment, Brog received yet another 31,023 share equity grant on the date of his appointment.

As Rubicon’s significant losses continue to grow, not only does the Board continue to award themselves what we believe is lavish compensation, they now add one more name to the list of excessively paid directors.

Shareholders deserve better than what we believe is a continuing and flagrant pattern of self-serving behavior by the incumbent Board of Directors.

If you are concerned about the $150 million of losses at Rubicon during the past four years and what we believe is the poor track record of corporate governance and board performance at Rubicon, and would like to hear more about Paragon’s plans for the company, we urge you to contact us. Please contact Alliance Advisors, our proxy advisor, toll-free at 855-737-3183.

If you would like to speak with Sham Gad, the Chairman and CEO of Paragon and one of our director nominees, you may reach him at 706-340-4817. If you would like to speak with Sham or have any questions, please do not hesitate to call Sham.

Paragon Technologies, Inc. has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a definitive proxy statement and a blue proxy card in connection with its solicitation of votes for the election of director nominees at the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders of Rubicon Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

LA JOLLA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2016 / MyDx, Inc. (OTCQB: MYDX), one of the fastest growing chemical detection companies and producer of the patented MyDx™ (My Diagnostic) product line, the first battery operated, handheld, chemical analyzer for consumers, today announced that it will be presenting at the 6th annual LD Micro Invitational on Wednesday, June 8, 2016 at 2:00 pm PST / 5:00 pm EST in Track 4. The conference will be held at the Luxe Sunset Bel Air Hotel in Los Angeles and will feature nearly 200 companies in the small-cap universe.

Daniel Yazbeck, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MyDx, Inc., will be presenting on behalf of MyDx, Inc. and conducting one-on-one meetings with retail and institutional investors throughout the three-day investor conference.

“The initial stages of the commercialization of our chemical analyzer technology has humbled us in a process that ultimately exceeded our internal expectations as measured by revenues, number of units sold, geographic diversification and, perhaps most importantly, the industry’s excitement and widespread acceptance of our patented technology,” said Mr. Yazbeck. “We believe 2016 will be a breakthrough year for our employees, clients and shareholders as we approach profitability based on the increasing demand we are experiencing for CannaDx, our first product out of the lab and into full global commercialization.

“The achievement of positive earnings and substantial decrease in our long-term debt will provide us with the financial flexibility to grow both our existing CannaDx product line while investing in the launch and commercialization of our OrganaDx, AquaDx, and AeroDx sensor technologies, which will provide us with three completely new and high margin revenue channels in addressable markets. We are very excited to be delivering on all cylinders and to be able to share our progress with existing and potentially new investors at both the LD Micro conference as well as other investor conferences in the coming weeks,” concluded Mr. Yazbeck.
