Point Blank Solutions to Explore Strategic Alternatives

POMPANO BEACH, Fla., July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Point Blank Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (Pink Sheets: PBSOQ), a leader in the field of protective body armor, today announced plans to explore strategic alternatives, which includes a sale process, pursuant to Section 363 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code.  The Company, with the support of its financial advisor CRG Partners Group LLC, will be exploring various strategic options in an effort to enhance the Company's financial position and generate the highest value for all constituents.  

On April 14, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware (the "Court").  Concurrent with that filing, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement for up to $20.0 million of Debtor-in-Possession ("DIP") financing, which was approved by the Court and provides the Company with sufficient working capital to continue to meet its current contractual obligations.  As previously disclosed, the decision to file for Chapter 11 protection was driven primarily by continued expenses associated with legacy issues from former management and the lack of financing available to the Company at that time, after extensive efforts to find additional sources of financing.

James R. Henderson, the Company's CEO stated, "We have begun a process to explore any and all strategic alternatives that will generate the highest value for all our stakeholders while at the same time, positively position our Company for the future.  Since we began our restructuring, we have stayed true to our word that it is business as usual at Point Blank.  We continue to receive orders across our customer base, are delivering high quality products on time and are realizing the benefit of supply chain and manufacturing improvements.  I am proud of our employees and their ongoing commitment to the Company, and our customers and partners."

The Company's bankruptcy counsel is Pachulski Stang Ziehl & Jones LLP.
