Magnetic 3D Announces Stock Repurchase from Former Partners

Former owners relinquish common stock in all-cash buyout.

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 30, 2013

Magnetic Media Holdings, Inc. ("Magnetic 3D”), the industry leader in autostereoscopic, “glasses-free” 3D displays and digital signage solutions, today announced that it has purchased 240,000 shares (representing 18 percent of the company’s outstanding equity) from former shareholders Peter Zahakos and James Zahakos. In addition to the stock repurchase, Magnetic 3D satisfied all outstanding loans and other obligations to the Zahakoses. These transactions have terminated the involvement of Peter Zahakos and James Zahakos with the company and have further solidified Magnetic 3D’s financial position.

“Given the underlying strength of Magnetic 3D’s glasses-free 3D technology and long-term business prospects, we felt that the timing was right to repurchase the stock from the Zahakoses,” said Norm Jacobs, the company’s lead investor and largest shareholder. “We look toward a bright future with investors who share a common vision for Magnetic 3D.”

“Our glasses-free 3D technology is ripe for adoption in a wide array of industries where 3D glasses are undesirable and no longer necessary,” said Tom Zerega, founder and CEO of Magnetic 3D. “The stock repurchase allows us to be more agile and consider other strategic partners or investors that will directly benefit from our unique, robust technology platform.”
