IMH Secured Loan Fund, LLC Announces Preliminary Results

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 15 /PRNewswire/ -- The IMH Secured Loan Fund, LLC (the "Fund"), announced that on June 14, 2010, the independent inspector of elections provided the Fund with preliminary results of the consent solicitation. These preliminary results indicate, as previously reported by the Fund on June 9, 2010, that the Fund received more than the requisite number of written consents to approve the Conversion Transactions described in the Consent Solicitation/Prospectus, and the 2010 IMH Financial Corporation Employee Stock Incentive Plan, as of June 9, 2010. The preliminary results received from the independent inspector of elections show that of the 73,038 total Fund membership units outstanding, 47,231 units were represented in the vote (64.67% of the total Fund membership interests). Of the 73,038 total units outstanding, the preliminary results indicate that on Proposal #1, the Conversion Transactions, the net vote was 57.48% in favor (41,981 units), 6.80% against (4,968 units), and 0.26% abstained (193 units). On Proposal #2, the 2010 IMH Financial Corporation Employee Stock Incentive Plan, the preliminary results indicated that 50.33% voted for (36,757 units), 12.46 % against (9,098 units), and 1.88% abstained (1,376 units).

Of the total net consents remitted during this process, 89.05% voted in favor of the Conversion Transactions (41,981 units), 10.54% voted against (4,968 units), and 0.41% abstained (193 units). With respect to the approval of the Stock Incentive Plan, of the total net consents remitted, 77.82% voted for (36,757 units), 19.26% against (9,098 units), and 2.91% abstained (1,376 units). As of June 9, 2010, a competing consent solicitation by a group referring to itself as the Committee to Protect IMH Secured Loan Fund resulted in the revocation of "yes" votes for approximately 0.12% (88 units) of the 73,038 total units outstanding, the net effect of which is already reflected in the above percentages. Revocation of "yes" votes accounted for approximately 0.19% of the total consents received. The preliminary results may be challenged and are still subject to final certification by the independent inspector of elections. The certified final results will be disclosed once available.

The Fund also announced that yesterday Ronald Tucek, Cliff Ratliff and LGM Capital Partners, LLC (the "LGM Plaintiffs") filed a lawsuit against the Fund in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and sought a temporary restraining order ("TRO Motion") enjoining the Fund from completing the Conversion Transactions and finalizing the Fund members' vote as well as removing the Manager. Today, the Court of Chancery denied the TRO Motion in its entirety. Shane Albers, IMH CEO, said, "We regret that LGM continues to cause the Fund to expend money in responding to LGM's meritless claims. With this ruling, we will now proceed to obtain final verification of the vote and close on the Conversion Transactions."
