Camac Partners, LLC (“Camac”), the investment manager of Camac Fund, LP,
announced today the filing of a special meeting request statement to
call a special meeting of stockholders of Liberated Syndication, Inc.
(OTCQB: LSYN) (“Libsyn”). This filing is the first step toward bringing
much-needed change to Libsyn. Camac owns approximately 6.3 percent of
Libsyn, and has been a stockholder since 2017.

“It is long-past time for meaningful improvements at Libsyn,” said Eric
Shahinian, the founder and managing member of Camac. “The current board
of directors and management team have consistently lined their own
pockets at the expense of stockholders. From outsized executive pay, to
massive stockholder dilution to poor capital allocation, there is simply
no excuse for the current state of Libsyn. Recent actions by the board
and management to further increase their own compensation and continue
to dilute stockholders will not be tolerated. We are committed to
improving Libsyn for the benefit of all stockholders.”

As the first stage of improving Libsyn, Camac filed a special meeting
request statement to solicit the written request of at least 25 percent
of Libsyn’s common stock (including the shares beneficially owned by
Camac) to call a special meeting of stockholders. Once the 25 percent
threshold has been reached, Camac will formally request the special
meeting and send proxy materials urging stockholders to vote in favor of
the proposals that Camac intends to be considered at the special
meeting. Camac currently intends to present proposals to remove Libsyn’s
four existing directors, elect five highly qualified, independent
nominees, and enact other needed governance improvements.

“We think that all existing directors should be removed,” said Mr.
Shahinian. “In addition, we are proposing the election of five highly
qualified, independent nominees. We believe that our nominees—Michael
Cricenti, Simeon McMillan, Adam Pincus, Eric Shahinian and Bradley M.
Tirpak—will bring needed discipline to Libsyn and an unwavering
commitment to stockholder value.”

Continued Mr. Shahinian, “We strongly caution Libsyn and its board of
directors against taking any actions that might interfere with the will
of stockholders or otherwise prevent stockholders from having a say in
the future of their company. We will do everything necessary to ensure
that stockholders—the true owners of Libsyn—have the opportunity to
fully and fairly consider our proposals.”
