Regulation FD Disclosure |
Sparton Corporation, an Ohio corporation (“Sparton” or the “Company”), has engaged
NachmanHaysBrownstein, Inc. (“NHB”) to assist the Company in obtaining an alternate credit facility
to aid in its restructuring plan. On February 26, 2009, NHB disseminated a communication to
certain prospective lenders, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
herein by reference.
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 reflects Congress’ determination that the
disclosure of forward-looking information is desirable for investors and encourages such disclosure
by providing a safe harbor for forward-looking statements by corporate management. The projections
in the communication attached as Exhibit 99.1 constitute forward-looking statements within the
scope of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company undertakes
no obligation to publicly disclose any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect
events or circumstances occurring subsequent to filing this Form 8-K with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties.
Accordingly, the Company’s future results may differ materially from historical results or from
those discussed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The Company notes that a variety of
factors could cause the actual results and experience to differ materially from anticipated results
or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements. A discussion of the
Company’s risk factors has been included in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors and Part II, Item 7,
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the
Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, which is incorporated herein by
reference. Management cautions readers not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements,
which are subject to influence by the enumerated risk factors as well as unanticipated future
events.
The information in this current report and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto is intended to be
furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by the
specific reference in such a filing.
