ANAHEIM, Calif., Nov. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the SRT Shareholders Coalition is pleased to announce the large number of Orange Ballots received in less than a week to call a Special Shareholders Meeting. 

ORANGE BALLOT should be returned to:  2300 E. Katella Ave., Suite 235, Anaheim, CA 92806. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD A BALLOT.

• The coalition has received Orange Ballots representing nearly 20% of the total outstanding shares of SRT
• The coalition must receive Orange Ballots representing 50% plus 1 of the outstanding shares of SRT to require a special shareholders meeting be called
• Recently, Batinovich, Levin, Maier and Rogers passed bylaws increasing the required amount of shares from 10% to 50% plus 1 which we believe was their attempt to further entrench themselves after the Coalition called them out  for not calling a shareholders meeting

"Shareholders from across the country have sent in their Orange Ballots to call for an overdue special shareholders meeting that will allow them to participate in electing the most qualified SRT directors," said Ron King, CEO of Centaurus Financial, one of the largest Due Diligence Officer/Broker Dealer firms by sales of the SRT REIT, and a member of the coalition.

"It's outrageous that the current SRT board of directors refuse to all stand for election before the shareholders.  One wonders what they must be hiding if they aren't even willing to run on their records," said Marshall Karr, managing partner of Karr Commercial, LLC, who is a certified Property Manager with more than 30 years of experience in the Real Estate and Construction business managing residential, commercial and retail properties.
