ELECTROHOME COMPLETES THE SALE OF THE CORPORATION'S TRADE-MARKS
Kitchener, Ontario - January 2, 2008 -- Electrohome announced today that effective January 1, 2008 it has
completed the sale of its trademarks and a related licensing agreement to SYNNEX Canada Limited, previously
the major licensee using the trademarks.
The trademark assets were sold for $1,500,000. The sale was previously approved by shareholders on May 10,
2007. SYNNEX advanced Electrohome $600,000 over six months from July to December 2007. The advances, interest
and fees were deducted from the purchase price, resulting in cash proceeds to Electrohome on closing
of $887,000.
As a result of the sale, Electrohome will no longer receive any royalty income from trademarks.
Cash proceeds from the sale will be used to fund operations while Electrohome’s remaining assets and
liabilities continue to be monetized and/or resolved.
Electrohome’s business is principally that of a holding company with a 31% interest in Mechdyne Corporation
which is the largest international company operating exclusively in the advanced visualization marketplace.
Electrohome’s obligations primarily consist of post-employment benefit costs and environmental remediation
associated with a previously discontinued operation.
Electrohome’s shares are traded on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbols ELL.H,
Class X voting shares and ELL.K, Class Y non-voting shares. Trading data for these shares can be found on
