APPLIED
DIGITAL SOLUTIONS ISSUES A STATEMENT REGARDING THE RECENTLY FILED
SHAREHOLDER LAWSUITS
Applied Digital Solutions,
Inc., an advanced technology development company, announced today
that two virtually identical securities class action lawsuits have
recently been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Florida against Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. and Richard
Sullivan, its Chief Executive Officer.
Applied Digital expects
that, as is common in these types of actions, other similar complaints
will likely be filed and that all the complaints will eventually be
consolidated into one action. Applied Digital believes the pending
actions are without merit; it intends to vigorously defend against
them; and it stands committed to remaining focused on its business
plan.
