The Special Committee, aided by its advisors and the Company's management team, will oversee the evaluation of Neo's current strategy, assets, operations, and capital structure. The strategic review will consider various strategic alternatives for Neo. These could include, among other things, the sale, divestiture, merger or other business combination of a portion of Neo's business-unit assets, strategic investments, partnerships or joint ventures, changes in Neo's capital structure, capital allocation, or other transactions. The review will also encompass the Company's compensation plans and practices, to ensure that they appropriately align management incentives with the interests of shareholders.
"The Board and management team of Neo are committed to investigating opportunities to maximize value for all shareholders. Neo's business continues to perform well, with a strong balance sheet, and solid bottom line performance. While the Board believes the Company's valuation will, in time, reflect the true value of its business, a thorough review of strategic alternatives is a prudent step to enhance that process," said

There is no timetable for completion of this process and Neo does not intend to comment further unless and until it determines that further disclosure is necessary or appropriate.
