As reported previously, on May 23, 2016, BSD Medical Corporation formerly known as Perseon Corporation (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq. of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Utah (the “Bankruptcy Court”).  The Company’s caption and case number is In re BSD Medical Corporation, fka Perseon Corporation, Case No. 16-24435 (Bankr.

In addition, as disclosed previously, on August 22, 2016, the Company sold substantially all of the assets of the Company (the “Asset Sale”) to Scion Medical Technologies, LLC. Following the closing of the Asset Sale, the Company is focusing its efforts on liquidating its remaining assets and developing and seeking Bankruptcy Court approval of a chapter 11 plan.
 
Departure of Clinton E. Carnell Jr. as President and Chief Executive Officer
 
In an effort to reduce administrative expenses, the Board of Directors of the Company decided it is in the best interest of the Company’s creditors and the bankruptcy estate to terminate the employment of Clinton E.

Cautionary Note Regarding Chapter 11 Case

The Company's stockholders are cautioned that trading in the Company's equity securities, including its common stock and publicly traded warrants, during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company's equity securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Company's equity upon wind-up of the Chapter 11 Case. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its equity securities.

Except as required by law, the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update such statements.
