Former Founder-CEO Steven Eror Announces His Intention to Commence a Consent Solicitation at ProLung to Add Eight Directors to the Board

SALT LAKE CITY, July 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Steven C. Eror, the Co-Founder and Former President, CEO and member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of ProLung, Inc. (“ProLung” or, the “Company”), with a beneficial ownership of approximately 4.5% of the common stock of ProLung, issued the following statement today to announce his intention to commence a public consent solicitation to seek to add eight qualified and experienced directors to ProLung’s Board.

Mr. Eror stated, “Since my departure from ProLung in June, I have heard from many stakeholders of the Company who are gravely concerned and dissatisfied with the current void in senior leadership at ProLung. I am therefore taking the steps required to seek to reconstitute the Board to restore confidence, continuity and veteran leadership at ProLung. I believe this is an essential step to align the Company with the best interests of its shareholders. My slate of eight director nominees has expertise in capital raising, clinical trials, commercialization and the launch of products, and is well equipped to guide the Company through the final phases of development and early commercialization as well as to provide access to public financial markets and strategic transactions.”

Last month ProLung announced the abrupt departure of five of its seven Board members, including Mr. Eror. In addition, Mr. Eror was replaced as CEO with then-COO Michael Garff despite Mr. Garff’s inexperience as a chief executive in either the medical technology industry or any relevant industries. Shareholder concerns mounted as the Board appointed Mr. Garff and Mark V. Anderson, the Company’s CFO, to the Board.

Through his consent solicitation, Mr. Eror will be seeking shareholder consent to approve the
following set of corporate actions:

1. Amend Article 2, Section 2.1 of the Company’s First Amended and Restated
   Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to provide that shareholders have the exclusive ability to fix
   the size of the Board and to increase the size of the Board to twelve (12) directors;
2. Amend Article 3, Section 3.2 of the Bylaws to allow any vacancies on the Board
   resulting from any newly created directorship(s) or for any cause to be filled
   exclusively by the shareholders of the Company;
3. Upon approval of Proposals 1 and 2 above, to elect each of Richard Serbin, Todd
   Morgan, Michael Christiansen, Eric Sokol, Ron Dunford, Steven Eror, Brian
   Loveridge and Don Patterson (each, a “Nominee” and collectively, the
   “Nominees”) to serve as a director of the Company (or, if any such Nominee is unable or unwilling to serve as a director of the Company, any other person
   designated as a Nominee by Mr. Eror); and
4. To repeal any provision of the Bylaws in effect at the time this proposal becomes
   effective, including any amendments thereto, which were not included in the
   Bylaws that were adopted on July 14, 2017.

Mr. Eror has retained Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP as legal counsel to advise on his public consent solicitation to seek the addition of his slate of eight directors to the Board.
