Court Finds Dissident Shareholder Violated His Contractual Agreement in Proxy Fight against USA Technologies

USA Technologies, Inc. USAT today announced that the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania has determined that Bradley Tirpak, a dissident shareholder and former board member, whose proxy contest organization operates under the self-laudatory moniker of S.A.V.E., has violated a contractual agreement in an attempted proxy battle against USA Technologies. The Court found that various statements made by S.A.V.E. in the last month violated a non-disparagement provision of an agreement entered into by Tirpak and his affiliates with the Company in May 2011. The Court's ruling also enjoins Tirpak and his other director nominees, Craig W. Thomas, George Wallner, Rodman K. Reef, John S. Ioannou, Ajoy H. Karna, and Andrew Salisbury, from engaging in future violations of the May 2011 Settlement Agreement.
