Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. Files Supplement to Proxy Statement

DURANGO, CO--(Marketwired - Feb 17, 2015) - Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMCF) (the "Company") today announced the filing of a supplement to its proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement Supplement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") concerning certain amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the proposed holding company in the proposed holding company reorganization that the Company's shareholders are being asked to approve at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on February 19, 2015. If the reorganization is approved by shareholders, the current company will become a subsidiary of the newly created Delaware holding company and each share of the current company will be converted into a single share of the holding company in a tax-free transaction.

After consideration, the Company has decided to make changes to certain corporate governance provisions that will be in place at the holding company, if the reorganization is approved by the Company's shareholders. The Board of Directors amended the proposed holding company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws to (1) eliminate a provision stipulating that Delaware would be the exclusive venue for stockholder lawsuits, (2) eliminate a fee-shifting bylaw in such lawsuits, (3) permit stockholders to call special meetings under certain limited circumstances, and (4) provide that a majority of stockholders may remove directors for any reason.

Details regarding the proposed holding company reorganization along with further information regarding the above amendments, including revised versions of the proposed holding company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, are available in the definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on January 8, 2015, as amended by the Proxy Statement Supplement filed today with the SEC.
