The petition, captioned Manticore Properties, LLC v. Old Stone Corporation, was filed pursuant to Rhode Island General Laws Sections 7-1.2-1314 and -1323, which allow a shareholder to seek an orderly dissolution of a corporation through the appointment of a receiver. Manticore’s petition was joined in by the Corporation. At this time, the Corporation estimates that it has no outstanding debt and approximately $0.8 million in cash, which will be available for the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock after payment of dissolution expenses. The Corporation is unable at this point to estimate final expenses or the likely timing of any such distribution.

On June 5, 2012, the Court signed an order appointing Allan Shine of Winograd Shine Land & Finkle, P.C., as a temporary receiver. Following the required notice to stockholders and hearing, the Corporation anticipates that Mr. Shine will be appointed permanent receiver in order to oversee the distribution of final amounts to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock, to pay any and all other liabilities and obligations of the Corporation, and to take such actions as may be necessary to liquidate the Corporation. The petition ultimately seeks a final decree of dissolution of the Corporation. The Corporation is not able to estimate the likely timing of any such final decree.

Cautionary Statement: This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements. Statements in this report that are not historical facts, including statements about the Corporation’s beliefs and expectations regarding the receivership process, the appointment of a permanent receiver and any amounts that may be distributed to holders of its preferred stock, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current plans, estimates and understandings, and are subject to change based upon factors outside of the Corporation’s control, including the possibility of a delay in the appointment of a permanent receiver, unanticipated costs associated with the dissolution and winding up of the Corporation, and similar factors. Readers are cautioned to consider carefully these factors, as well as the other factors identified in the Corporation’s most recent filings under the Exchange Act, and not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
