As previously announced, Pulse Electronics Corporation (the “Company”) will be presenting at the CL King 10th Annual Best Ideas Conference (the “Conference”) in New York on Thursday, September 13, 2012. A live webcast of the presentation will be available on the Investor Relations page of the Company’s web site www.pulseelectronics.com. A replay of the event will be available through September 27, 2012. The website and the information contained therein or connected thereto are not incorporated into this Current Report on Form 8-K.
A copy of the slide presentation to be presented at the Conference and at investor and analyst meetings to be held beginning on September 13, 2012 is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as otherwise stated in such filing.
At the Conference, the Company will provide an update on the status of its plan to execute upon its strategy to improve financial and operational performance. This plan includes ongoing efforts to improve liquidity and cash flow through the delevering of the Company’s balance sheet, the restructuring of its indebtedness, the securing of additional capital as necessary and the disposition of select assets along with the consideration of broader strategic alternatives. The Company believes it is prudent to undertake these efforts in view of the ongoing weakness in the global economy which is expected to continue to impact the industry and customer demand for the foreseeable future. The Company has retained financial advisors to assist in these endeavors.
Despite numerous actions that the Company has taken to improve operations and reduce costs, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in restructuring its debt and generating sufficient cash flow from operations or that future business and financing alternatives will be available on terms and in amounts sufficient to enable the Company to fund its future liquidity needs. There also can be no assurance that the Company’s liquidity position will not adversely affect its ability to timely repay its indebtedness, fund its operations, and maintain its relationships with vendors and customers.
