Other Events

On July 15, 2016, Trans-Lux Corporation (the “Company”) completed its offers (the “Offers”) to purchase its outstanding 8¼% Limited Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the “Notes”) and 9½% Subordinated Debentures due 2012 (the “Debentures”) validly tendered to the Company for cash at a purchase price of $0.20 for each dollar of principal of each Note and Debenture outstanding, without interest.

As of 12:00 a.m., New York time, on July 15, 2016, the Company accepted validly tendered Notes and Debentures for the purchase of Notes and Debentures having an aggregate principal value of $353,000, and has forwarded to DTC the corresponding consideration to complete the purchase, without interest thereon and less any required withholding taxes.

The above description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Debentures indenture filed as Exhibit 6 of the Company’s Schedule 13E-4 (Amendment No. 2), dated December 23, 1994, and the Notes indenture filed as Exhibit 12(d) of the Company’s Schedule TO, dated March 2, 2004, in each case incorporated herein by reference.

On July 25, 2016, the Company issued a press release announcing the results of the Offers.  On the same date, the Company issued an additional press release announcing that the Pension Benefits Guaranty Corporation elected to not refile a general lien against the Company’s assets, as a portion of the proceeds from the Company’s July 12, 2016 Credit and Security Agreement (as more fully described in the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 13, 2016) were used to make an additional $300,000 contribution to the Company’s pension plan.  Copies of the press releases are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
