DIGITAL ANGEL CORPORATION TO HOLD VIRTUAL INVESTOR ROAD SHOW FOR ALL INTERESTED INVESTORS
COMPANY TO DISCUSS GROWTH DRIVERS AND MERGER BENEFITS
SO. ST. PAUL, MN (November 14, 2007) — Digital Angel Corporation (the “Company”) (AMEX: DOC), a leading provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) and global positioning system (GPS) technologies that enable the rapid and accurate identification, location tracking and condition monitoring of people, animals and high-value assets, announced today that the Company’s interim Chief Executive Officer and President, Barry M. Edelstein, will hold a virtual investor road show on Monday, November 19, 2007 at 8:30 am ET to discuss the growth drivers of the Company’s business and the immediate benefits of its merger with Applied Digital (NASDAQ: ADSX).
Mr. Edelstein said, “We believe the merger with Applied Digital will open the door for increased institutional investment in the combined company by removing the obstacles that have previously dissuaded these investors from buying Digital Angel stock. By no longer having a majority owner of Digital Angel, which caused an overhang on our stock, we believe investors will again focus on the value and growth potential of our businesses. This online road show is accessible to all interested investors.”
Digital Angel will host its online road show on November 19, 2007, for investors, analysts, business and trade media, and other interested parties at 8:30 a.m. EST. Interested participants should call (866) 323-2725 within the United States or (706) 643-1836 internationally. Please use passcode 24741013. Alternatively, a simultaneous webcast of the live conference call and accompanying presentation slides can be accessed through Digital Angel’s website at www.digitalangelcorp.com. For persons unable to participate in either the conference call or the webcast, a digitized replay will be available from November 19 at approximately 11:00 a.m. EST to November 26 at 11:59 p.m. EST. For the replay, dial (800) 642-1687 (USA) or (706) 645-9291 (international), using access code 24741013. Alternatively, a webcast replay can be accessed through Digital Angel’s website at www.digitalangelcorp.com.
