DRAPER, Utah, Dec. 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Flexpoint Sensor Systems, Inc. (FLXT) announces its Annual Meeting. All shareholders are invited to attend the Shareholders’ meeting on Friday, December 28, 2018.                                                                                          

The Flexpoint Annual Shareholder’s meeting with be held at the SpringHill Suites by Marriott located at 12111 South State Street, Draper, Utah., at 1:00 PM, local time.

The purpose of the meeting will be to update shareholders and transact such business as may properly come before the Shareholders. The matters expected to be acted upon at the meeting are described in detail in the Company’s Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement which was recently mailed to Shareholders and is on file with the SEC.

Flexpoint’s Board of Directors believes that the recommended actions are in the best interest of the Company and will position the Company to take advantage of opportunities that are currently before them.  The Company has an increasing number of opportunities that require additional resources to fully capture. The proposed recapitalization will assist the Company in many corporate development activities and aid in expansion and the realization of additional opportunities.

The Company believes that completing the proposed recapitalization will allow us to be able to fully capture the opportunities in the medical field involving monitoring and control systems and products for other medical related purposes. The Board believes that an affirmative vote will allow the Company to aggressively pursue these many opportunities.  Orders from existing customers continue to increase in both size and frequency and recently announced projects continue to rapidly move forward to commercialization. The Company believes that the recapitalization will further the growth of the Company and our technologies through potential acquisitions/mergers and possible acquisitions of other technologies. In the future, such actions must be deemed appropriate by our Board of Directors and, if applicable, be approved by other regulatory authorities.

The Company is at a stage where we are looking to the Company’s long term future. This involves not only the factors identified above but the potential of moving to a different exchange.  The new regulations on brokerage firms and investors for the trading of “Penny Stocks” are significantly impacting the Company’s ability to trade with many brokerage firms and limits significantly the number of potential investors interested in the Company’s shares. The regulatory agencies’ and the new rules/regulations limit trading of our shares to the more speculative investors. The Board believes that the reverse split will increase the share price and allow the marketing of our securities by an increased number of brokerage firms, brokers and, ultimately, an increased number of potential investors. This action should improve the marketability and liquidity of the Company’s common stock, as well as encourage new investor’s interest.
