INTRODUCTION
This
Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement, together with the exhibits hereto (the
“Transaction Statement”), is being filed with the SEC by Aspyra, Inc., a
California corporation (the “Company”), the issuer of the common stock that is
subject to the reverse split.
On the
date hereof, the Company filed with the SEC a preliminary proxy statement (the
“Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), relating to special meeting of the
Company’s shareholders to be held on March 8, 2010, to consider an act upon a
proposal to approve an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation to
effect a one-for-101 reverse split of the Company’s common stock. If
the reverse split is approved by shareholders, then once the amendment to the
articles of incorporation is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of
California, the Company will no longer have 300 stockholders of record and will
terminate its registration under the Exchange Act.
