FAIRFIELD, Conn., June 12, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Competitive Technologies, Inc. (OTCQX:CTTC) today announced that they have negotiated a Liabilities Purchase Agreement with Southridge Partners II, LP. The agreement takes advantage of a provision in the Securities Act of 1933, Section 3(a)(10), that allows the exchange of claims, securities, or property for stock when the arrangement is approved for fairness by a court proceeding. The process, if approved by the court, has the potential to eliminate about $2 million of our financial obligations to existing creditors. There can be no assurance that CTTC will be successful in completing this process with Southridge.
