Exhibit 99.1
(Sunair logo)
SUNAIR SERVICES CORPORATION FILES LAWSUIT AGAINST THE DISSIDENT GROUP
ALLEGING VIOLATIONS OF THE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS
Boca Raton, FL —March 13, 2009— Sunair Services Corporation (AMEX: SNR) announced that it filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court, in the Southern District of Florida, against Michael Brauser, Dru Schmitt, Michael Herman (the “Dissident Group”) and certain other defendants on March 12, 2009 for violations of federal securities laws. The complaint relates to actions that have arisen in connection with the information statement that the Dissident Group filed with the SEC on January 28, 2009, as amended on February 25, March 6 and March 9, 2009 (collectively, the “Information Statement”), in which they seek to remove the Company’s current Board of Directors and replace it with their nominees.
The complaint alleges that the Dissident Group and certain other co-defendants unlawfully solicited proxies from the Company’s shareholders in violation of Section 14(a) and 14(c) of the Exchange Act in connection with their actions to take control of the Company and replace the Company’s current Board of Directors with their six nominees. It also alleges that the Information Statement filed by the Dissident Group omits material information relating to Mr. Brauser’s background, including civil fraud litigation and a bankruptcy proceeding involving a company owned by Mr. Brauser.
With its lawsuit, the Company is seeking injunctive relief against the Dissident Group to prevent them from voting any proxies obtained in the unlawful proxy solicitation, requiring corrective disclosure in the Information Statement and establishing a 90-day cooling off period before the Dissident Group can commence any further activity relating to a change of control.
A copy of the Company’s lawsuit against the Dissident Group is available at the Company’s website located at http://www.amstock.com/ProxyServices/ViewMaterials.asp. It is also available at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov. The Company filed a Form 8-K today and the complaint is attached to its Form 8-K filing as Exhibit 99.2.

     17. On February 2, 2009, Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, filed a Schedule 14C Information Statement with the SEC ( “Schedule 14C Information Statement”). In the Schedule 14C Information Statement, Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, claimed to have executed consents for more than 50 percent of the outstanding shares of Sunair, and indicated that Sunair’s current directors would be removed and replaced with Defendants, Michael Brauser, Leon Brauser, Herman, DiMartini and Schmitt, as well as with Scott Frohman and Gregory Sturgis.

DEFENDANTS’ VIOLATIONS OF SECTIONS 14(A) AND 14(C)
     21. As described more fully below, Defendants have failed and refused to file a preliminary or definitive written proxy statement, containing the information specified in Schedule 14(a). Nonetheless, under false cover of their Schedule 14C Information Statement, and amendments thereto, Defendants, by means or instrumentality of interstate commerce, have unlawfully solicited proxies from shareholders of Sunair, or have permitted the use of their names to solicit proxies from shareholders, without providing the requisite disclosures. Defendants Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, also have made false and misleading statements of material fact in the solicitation of these proxies in violation of SEC Rules 14a-9 and 14c-6. Additionally, Defendants have conspired with each other and John Does 1-10 to violate the federal securities laws, including recruiting and encouraging others to violate Section 14A and the rules regulating proxy solicitations.
     22. As described more thoroughly below, Defendants’, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, Schedule 14C Information Statement and Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3 thereto contain false and misleading statements.
     23. Commencing on or around February 2009 and continuing through the date of the

4


 

filing of the Complaint, Defendants have made use of a shareholders list and, by means of telephonic communication, have solicited shareholders of Sunair to provide proxies to them in connection with the removal of the present Board of Directors of Sunair.
     24. Defendants also knowingly have permitted the use of their names to solicit proxies from Sunair shareholders. Defendants, all of whom are listed in Amendment No. 3, expected to benefit from the proposed replacement of the directors, as all such Defendants either are listed in Amendment No. 3 as Board of Director nominees or part of the proposed control group of shareholders.
     25. At the time of the aforementioned solicitations, Defendants had not filed a preliminary or definitive written proxy statement, containing the information specified in Schedule 14(a).
     26. In order falsely to mask this illegal proxy solicitation, Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, in Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3 denied that they have engaged in any proxy solicitation when in fact, they know that such assertion is false. For example, Defendant Krauser, who is listed in Amendment Nos. 2 and 3 as a member of the control group, owning 80,000 shares, has admitted that he was directly solicited by telephone by Defendant Schmitt, who advised him that he was “going down the shareholders list” and soliciting other shareholders as well. Defendant Krauser then directly solicited, by means of telephone, other Sunair shareholders and indicated to one Sunair shareholder that he was “calling everyone” among the Sunair shareholders. Defendant Krauser even tried to solicit persons whom he believed to be, but were not, Sunair shareholders.
     27. In the Schedule 14C and Amendment Nos. 1, 2 and 3, Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, make false representations of fact and omit to state material facts

5


 

regarding Defendant Michael Brauser, who is the center of the conspiracy.
     28. Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, omit to disclose Defendant Michael Brauser’s checkered past, as detailed more fully below, including civil fraud litigation filed against Defendant Michael Brauser relating to his involvement with various public companies, a bankruptcy involving a company owned by Defendant Michael Brauser, and violations of SEC rules.
     29. The civil fraud litigation relates to Defendant Michael Brauser, in his role as the former President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Naviant, a company that delivered e-mail marketing campaigns to online consumers that was acquired by Equifax on August 15, 2002, via merger. On September 2, 2005, Equifax and Naviant filed an Amended Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association, alleging fraud, deceit and misleading misrepresentations by Defendant Michael Brauser. Specifically, Equifax alleged that Defendant Michael Brauser participated in the fraudulent creation of fictitious receivables and further participated in accounting overstatements that disguised Naviant’s true financial condition.
     30. Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, further omit to disclose that Equifax sued Defendant Michael Brauser for fraud and breach of contract in, Equifax, Inc. v. Michael Brauser, et al., Case No. 04-80754 (S.D. Fla.) (“Federal Fraud Litigation”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
     31. Equifax alleges in the Federal Fraud Litigation that, in order to induce Equifax to enter into a merger with Naviant, Defendant Michael Brauser (a) hid low-priced “CPM” (Cost Per Thousand) e-mail transactions in order to inflate Naviant’s effective CPM rate, (b) maintained one set of books for Naviant that was more accurate and complete and another that omitted the low-priced e-mail transactions, which Naviant provided to Equifax and its

6


 

accountants during merger negotiations, (c) misrepresented the volume and price of transactions that accounted for a large percentage of Naviant’s pre-acquisition revenue, and (d) engaged in fictitious transactions with other email marketing companies to inflate Naviant’s financial performance.
     32. Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, further omit to disclose that the Federal Fraud Litigation was settled in exchange for, among other things, the payment to Equifax of the remaining amounts that remained in a $10,000,000.00 Escrow Fund that was set aside as security for the indemnification obligations of the selling shareholders of Naviant at the time of the merger agreement with Equifax.
     33. Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, further omit to disclose that, after settlement of the Federal Fraud Litigation, Softbank Capital Partners (“Softbank”), a Naviant shareholder, sued Defendant Michael Brauser on March 24, 2008, in the Federal Fraud Litigation for breach of contract and indemnification for Defendant Michael Brauser’s failure to pay Softbank his share of the millions of dollars of attorney’s fees and costs incurred by Softbank in its capacity as the shareholders representative of Naviant. Softbank claims that “a substantial portion of Equifax’s claims were meritorious” and Defendant Michael Brauser had been “intimately involved in carrying out various frauds at Naviant and covering up their misdeeds through threats and intimidation.” Softbank also claims that Defendant Michael Brauser represented to Softbank that he was “judgment proof” as a result of transferring away all of his personal assets, with the exception of his Bentley automobile and personal computer. Trial is scheduled for July 27, 2009.
     34. Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, further omit to disclose that Defendant Michael Brauser also was sued on January 30, 2009, for fraud and breach of fiduciary

7


 

duty in Kast v. The Tube Media Corp., 09-06285, in the Circuit Court for the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida (“State Fraud Litigation”), in connection with Defendant Michael Brauser’s role as a Director of The Tube Media Corp., a publicly traded company that ceased operation in October 2007. Specifically, Defendant Michael Brauser is accused of knowingly withholding payroll taxes from employees without remitting them to the government, filing materially false and misleading financial reports, and intentionally making misrepresentations of material facts.
     35. Defendant Michael Brauser also was a member of The Tube Media Corp.’s Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Audit Committee. Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, fail to disclose that The Tube Media Corp. was delisted from the OTC bulletin board after it “did not conduct an audit of its year ended December 31, 2006, financial statements and did not file a Form 10-KSB as required by SEC Rules.”
     36. Defendants, Michael Brauser, Herman and Schmitt, selectively disclose Mr. Brauser’s relationship with some companies during the timeframe from 1999 to the present, but neglect to disclose his relationship with others. For example, they fail to disclose that Defendants, Michael Brauser and Leon Brauser, were owners of a telecommunications firm, The Telephone Co. of Central Florida, which filed for bankruptcy, see In re Telephone Co. of Central Florida, Inc., Case No. 6:98-bk-04587-ABB (M.D. Fla.) (“Telephone Co. Bankruptcy”), and that Defendant Michael Brauser was sued in an adversary proceeding on May 25, 2000, related to the Telephone Co. Bankruptcy. The Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors v. Michael Brauser, Adversary Case No. 00-125 (M.D. Fla.).

8


 

     37. Defendant Michael Brauser also fails to disclose that his true motivation in affecting a change in control in Sunair is to sell the company for less than fair market value to Massey, a competitor of Sunair, in order for Defendant Michael Brauser to earn a $1,000,000.00 commission under a side-agreement which appears to violate Florida law, because Defendant Michael Brauser is not a broker/dealer. Although Defendants disclose that Defendant Michael Brauser may be paid this $1,000,000.00 fee if Massey acquires all of the outstanding securities of Sunair or acquires substantially all of the assets, Defendant Michael Brauser does not disclose that his personal enrichment through this $1,000,000.00 commission is his true motivation in affecting a change in control.
