Cohesant Inc. Announces Intent to Deregister its Common Stock

BEACHWOOD, OHIO—(BUSINESS WIRE)—July 2, 2008—Cohesant Inc. (OTCBB: COHY) (“Cohesant”) today announced that it intends to voluntarily deregister its common stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Cohesant is eligible to deregister because it has fewer than 300 holders of record of its common stock.

Deregistration of the Company’s common stock was initially approved at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors on July 1, 2008, after consultation with management and deliberation regarding the advantages and disadvantages of continuing SEC registration and listing on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The Board of Directors determined that deregistration was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders after consideration of several factors, including, (i) the high financial costs associated with preparing and filing periodic reports and other filings with the SEC in comparison to the size of the Company; (ii) the demands placed on management to comply with SEC reporting obligations, which detract from time available for overseeing the operation and growth of the Company; and (iii) the limited public trading volume of the Company’s common stock.

Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file certain reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-KSB, 10-QSB, and 8-K, will immediately be suspended. The Company expects that the deregistration of its common stock will become effective not more than 90 days after the date of filing the Form 15. In addition, as a result of the decision to deregister, the Company’s common stock will cease to be eligible to trade on the OTCBB effective soon after filing the Form 15.

The Company expects, but cannot guarantee, that its common stock will continue to be quoted on the Pink Sheets after it is deregistration. There is no assurance that any brokerage firm will continue to make a market in the Company’s common stock after deregistration. The Pink Sheets is a centralized quotation service that publishes market maker quotes for securities primarily through its website, www.pinksheets.com.

The Company expects to continue to provide its stockholders with periodic financial and operational information through its website: www.cohesant.com.  The financial information may not have the detail required of an SEC registered corporation.
