MIND Technology Announces New Date for Meeting of Preferred Stockholders and Revised Record Date

Published

on

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, July 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MIND Technology, Inc. (“MIND” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: MIND; MINDP) reconvened its virtual special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of holders of its 9% Series A Cumulative Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) today and then further adjourned the meeting until Thursday, August 29, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Central Time.  The Special Meeting is being held to approve an amendment to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the Preferred Stock, which provides that each share of Preferred Stock may be converted into 3.9 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at the sole discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Preferred Stock Proposal”).  Preferred stockholders have previously approved a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting one or more times to give the Company’s management additional time to solicit additional proxies to approve the Preferred Stock Proposal.  Given the length of the adjournment, a new record date of Tuesday, July 16, 2024 has been established for the Special Meeting.

The Company will file a revised proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and distribute such proxy to holders of record as of July 16, 2024 who will be eligible to vote at the Special Meeting.  Previously voted proxies are no longer valid.

Rob Capps, President and CEO of MIND, stated, “We understand that the new meeting date creates some confusion since previously cast proxies are no longer valid and must be voted again.  However, due to the volume of Preferred Stock traded subsequent to the previous record date of April 26, 2024, a significant number of preferred stockholders had become disenfranchised and were not able to vote.  Subsequent to the previous record date, more than 680,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been traded, which represents approximately 40% of the total shares outstanding.  We have been contacted by a number of such holders who expressed their concern.  By adjourning the Special Meeting to a later date and establishing a new record date, these holders will now be able to vote on the Preferred Stock Proposal.  We think that given the significant remaining unvoted shares and the strong support for the proposal from those who have voted, this is the most appropriate course of action,” concluded Capps.

Creality K3 Now Available at $849, Making Multi-Color 3D Printing More Practical

Published

on

By

Creality’s four-nozzle flagship moves from pre-order to official U.S. availability, bringing faster color changes and greater creative flexibility to everyday 3D printing.

HOUSTON, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Creality today announced the official U.S. availability of the K3, its latest flagship K Series 3D printer, starting at $849. Following its pre-order debut in October, the K3 is now available for purchase, with shipments of the first pre-orders having begun on November 2.

Recognized as an IFA Innovation Awards 2026 Honoree, the K3 introduces a four-nozzle system designed to make multi-color printing faster, less wasteful, and more practical for everyday creative projects.

Making Multi-Color Printing Easier and Faster

From detailed figures and personalized gifts to decorative pieces and functional designs, color can make a significant difference in how a 3D-printed project comes together. Conventional multi-color printing often comes with a setback: more colors mean more time spent switching filaments and more material discarded along the way.

The K3 takes a different approach. Its KliTek™ four-nozzle system keeps different filaments ready in independent channels, allowing the printer to switch between nozzles in approximately 5 seconds while reducing the repeated purging required by conventional single-nozzle systems.

In Creality’s internal testing, this approach shortened total print times by up to 80% and reduced material waste by up to 85% compared with conventional single-nozzle multi-color workflows.

For makers, this means less time and filament spent on color changes, whether creating a personalized gift, a detailed display piece, or a batch of matching designs.

More Room for More Creative Possibilities

Beyond multi-color printing, the K3 is designed to grow with makers as their projects become more ambitious.

With optional accessories, its four-nozzle architecture supports different nozzle sizes within a single print, allowing users to combine finer surface details with more efficient internal structures. This gives makers greater flexibility to balance appearance, precision, and printing time without having to choose a single nozzle size for an entire project.

The K3 also offers an expandable path into multi-material printing. An optional top cover enables the use of engineering materials, while a dedicated TPU Kit expands compatibility to softer flexible filaments and soluble support materials. These options open up possibilities for projects that combine different material properties or require more complex structures.

U.S. Availability and Launch Offer

The Creality K3 is now available in the United States, starting at $849. Shipments of the first pre-orders began on November 2.

To celebrate the official launch, customers purchasing the K3 through November 30 will receive four complimentary rolls of Hyper PLA filament. Orders placed through Creality’s official online store during the promotional period also qualify for free shipping.

European availability is expected in December 2026.

For more information or to purchase, visit the Creality K3 official product page.

Performance figures are based on Creality’s internal testing. Actual results may vary depending on materials, models, and printing conditions. Advanced multi-material and mixed-nozzle capabilities require optional accessories sold separately.
