Hathaway Global Reminds Shareholders of Settlement Date to Receive Opticon Spin-Off Shares
Monday December 11, 2006

Hathaway Corporation, a leading global provider of communications and telecommunications software, announced today the company wants to remind potential shareholders of record date compared to settlement date.

The company issued the following statement: "As our shareholders are aware, December 19th, 2006 is the date of record for shareholders of Hathaway to receive their dividend shares of Opticon. However, all potential shareholders should be reminded that due to settlement periods, in order to insure their dividend shares to be delivered, all accounts have to be settled before the 19th in order to receive the dividend shares. Therefore all potential shareholders should note that purchases of shares on the 14th will insure the clearing process is done before the record date of the 19th."
