SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Meson Capital Partners, LLC ("Meson"), a major and long-term stockholder of Sevcon, Inc. SEV ("Sevcon" or the "Company") with approximately 20% of the Company's outstanding shares, believes Sevcon is in clear violation of SEC proxy rules for failing to identify Bassi Holdings as a participant in its solicitation.

The violation stems from a press release issued in Lugo, Italy on January 25, 2017 by Bassi Holding S.r.l. ("Bassi"), which owns 11.4% of Sevcon's outstanding shares, regarding the solicitation of proxies for the Company's February 7, 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Meson believes this Press Release constitutes a solicitation by the Company and the Company has failed to disclose to stockholders that Bassi is a Participant in the Company's solicitation. Meson calls on the Company to immediately correct and update its filings, and provide such revised information to its stockholders to ensure that all in fact receive accurate information in advance of the Annual Meeting.
