“Through our first three years, we are proud of the shareholder value creation in executing on our approach to constructive activist investing in microcap public companies,” said Kevin M. Rendino, Chief Executive Officer of 180.  “The gross total return of our public market holdings of 70.8% in 2019, and 210.0% over the last three years, exceeded the returns of our closest benchmark indices.  These positive returns were the sole reason for the growth of our NAV over the past three years, which also exceeded our closest benchmark indices.  We ended 2019 with over 50% of our balance sheet in cash and liquid securities (totaling $1.65 per share of TURN), up from 21% when I joined the Board in June 2016.  We continue to drive towards our goal of having 100% of our balance sheet in cash and public securities.”

Mr. Rendino and Daniel Wolfe, President, Chief Financial Officer and Portfolio Manager, will host a conference call tomorrow, Tuesday, February 25, 2020, at 9am Eastern Time, to discuss the results from the fourth quarter of 2019 and for the full year.  The call can be accessed by phone at (712) 770-4598 passcode 415049 or via the web at join.freeconferencecall.com/180degreecapital.  Additionally, slides that will be referred to during the presentation can be found on 180’s investor relations website at .
