DATATRAK URGES SHAREHOLDERS TO REJECT AROSA'S CLAIMS

Arosa cannot deny damaging, malicious wrongdoing carried out against DATATRAK throughout Activist campaign

CLEVELAND, December 31, 2015 /PRNewswire/ – DATATRAK International, Inc. (OTCQX: DTRK), the leader in developing cloud-based, unified dClinical™ technologies and delivering related services for the clinical trials industry, today called upon the shareholders to review the following information and reject Arosa's claims.

  • Arosa has not refuted the direct evidence of misconduct that came with the subpoena of a Yahoo! user account.
  • The smear campaign carried out by this misconduct, which included targeting customers and undoubtedly damaged customer relationships, has destroyed shareholder value.
  • Due to the timing of this development, the Board of Directors postponed the Annual Meeting to allow adequate time for shareholders to react.
  • The Company announced the Annual Meeting date of January 8, 2016, and fully intends, whatever the results, to uphold the shareholders now informed votes without further delay.

Jerome Kaiser, Lead Independent Director, commented, "The Board of Directors felt it was important for DATATRAK shareholders to review the new information before the Annual Meeting was held.  We believe this information is direct evidence that Arosa is tied to the damaging campaign that targeted the Company.  With that said, we fully intend to uphold the result of the January 8 Annual Meeting after shareholders have had the opportunity to understand and assess." Kaiser continued, "The Board of Directors looks forward to the results of the election and focusing on the future of the business."
