BOSTON, March 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Rokonet Industries, U.S.A., Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of RISCO Ltd. (RISCO), announced today that it has extended its $3.50 per share cash tender offer for all of the common stock of International Electronics, Inc. (IEI) (OTC:IEIB) (BULLETIN BOARD: IEIB) not already owned by it or its subsidiaries to 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Thursday, April 26, 2007. The tender offer was previously set to expire at 12:00 Midnight, New York City time, on Monday, April 2, 2007. The extension of the tender offer is intended to provide additional time for IEI to convene a special meeting of its stockholders that RISCO demanded under the Massachusetts Control Share Acquisition Statute to approve voting rights of any IEI shares RISCO may acquire in its offer. IEI has announced that it intends to hold a stockholders meeting on April 25, 2007 for such purpose. As of the close of business on March 23, 2007, approximately 1,055 IEI shares had been tendered in and not withdrawn from the offer. RISCO has also filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of the District of Massachusetts against IEI and its board of directors. RISCO is seeking, in addition to other remedies, a preliminary injunction to enjoin IEI and its board of directors from violating the Massachusetts Control Share Acquisition Statute. In preliminary proxy materials filed with the Securities Exchange Commission for the April 25 shareholders' meeting, IEI seeks to "bootstrap" certain conditions to RISCO's tender offer into conditions to the IEI stockholder vote -- a maneuver designed to prevent RISCO from amending or waiving its conditions in the future as it is permitted to do under the terms of its offer and federal securities law, without seeking yet another shareholder vote. "The lengths the IEI board will go to entrench itself and prevent stockholders from taking advantage of RISCO's all cash offer continue to amaze me," said RISCO Chairman, Moshe Alkelai. "The board is clearly afraid that a straightforward up or down vote on our proposal will lead to stockholders choosing RISCO's offer -- it is trying to use technical legal maneuvers to subvert the shareholder vote and make it more difficult for RISCO to close its offer. The IEI board should allow its stockholders to vote on RISCO's offer."
