About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Frank E. Holmes - c/o U.S. Global Investors, Inc.

Jerold H. Rubinstein - c/o Christine Martinez

Echo Lake Capital and Deerhaven Capital are pleased to submit this proposal (our "Proposal") under which we would acquire all the outstanding class A shares of U.S. Global Investors, Inc. ("GROW" or the "Company") we do not own for a price of $5.30 per share. Our Proposal represents a premium of 20% to Company's closing price as June 24, 2022, which we believe offers a very compelling value to shareholders. Our Proposal also includes acquiring all the Company's outstanding class C shares for consideration described below.

We recognize the inherent difficulties of creating value for shareholders as a public, micro-cap company. Like many other micro-caps, GROW suffers from a lack of sell-side analyst coverage, limited trading volume and limited demand from institutional investors. Our proposed transaction would allow the Company's stockholders to immediately realize an attractive value for their investment and provides stockholders certainty of value for their shares, especially when viewed against the operational risks inherent in the Company's business and the market risks inherent in remaining as a public company.

Under our Proposal class A stockholders would receive $5.30 per share in total consideration consisting of $2.65 per share in cash and $2.65 per share in newly issued 8.5% Preferred Stock in the Company.

Under our Proposal class C stockholders would receive all of (i) the Company's 8% Hive debentures, (ii) the Company's Investments in held-to-maturity debt securities (valued at $1.0 million as per the Company's latest Form 10-Q) and (iii) the Company's Other investments (valued at $4.2 million as per the Company's latest Form 10-Q).

Our Proposal is not contingent on any outside financing. However, the Proposal is contingent upon: (i) the Company redeeming for cash proceeds of at least $6.7 million the $7.0 million of investments GROW had in US Global Investors Funds as per the Company's latest Form 10-Q, and (ii) no material deterioration in the Company's finances and operations relative to the results reported in the latest Form 10-Q.

Given our familiarity with the Company and significant experience executing going-private transactions, we believe we can complete customary business, accounting, and legal due diligence and negotiate definitive documentation within 60 days.

We would have preferred to engage with you in private but our efforts to discuss our proposal were rebuffed by one of the Company's board directors. We hope you will be responsive to our Proposal which we believe would be overwhelming supported by a majority of your shareholders. However, if we do not hear back from you by July 8, 2022, we will assume you are not interested in engaging with us and our Proposal will automatically terminate.

Please be aware that this Proposal is an expression of interest only, and we reserve the right to withdraw or modify our Proposal in any manner. No legal obligation with respect to a transaction shall arise unless and until execution of mutually acceptable definitive documentation.

In closing, we would like to express our commitment to working together to bring this proposed Transaction to a successful and timely conclusion. Should you have any questions regarding this proposal, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Ephraim Fields
