New Name Reflects Company's Full Transformation to Supplying Live Event and Mission-Critical Video Solutions 

SARASOTA, FL, Feb. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- xG Technology, Inc. ("xG" or the "Company") XGTI, whose brands are recognized as the global leaders in live video communications, today announced it has changed its corporate name to Vislink Technologies, Inc., with immediate effect. The new corporate name has been chosen to better reflect the Company's prominent focus on the market for live event video communications solutions. In addition to the new corporate name, the Company will be changing its ticker symbol on NASDAQ to VISL. The Company will issue a separate press release announcing the date upon which the new ticker symbol will become effective. Until that date, the Company's stock will continue to trade under the existing XGTI ticker symbol.

The adoption of the Vislink Technologies name underscores the culmination of the refocus, restructure and new priorities that have been established by the Company. The name change is part of a larger global repositioning of its brands that emphasizes the Company's leadership in designing, manufacturing and deploying innovative video solutions in broadcast, media and MIL/GOV (military, government and public safety) markets. Customers, vendors and partners of its IMT and Vislink brands will not be impacted by the name change.

"The adoption of the Vislink Technologies name reflects that we have completely transformed our business through our IMT and Vislink brands," said Roger Branton, CEO of Vislink Technologies. "As we have now fully realigned and refined the Company's overarching business focus and strategy, unifying our operations under the new Vislink Technologies name better enables us to clearly convey the value proposition of our brand portfolio."

Mr. Branton continued, "As the market for on-demand, immersive media experiences grows, we plan to capitalize on our leadership as a provider of robust, reliable, live video technologies to clients in both the public and private sectors. We look forward to providing further updates to shareholders on our developments as we continue to achieve our objectives and hit our milestones."
