USAT Reiterates Preliminary Results of Annual Meeting

USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT) (“USAT” or the “Company”), a leader of wireless, cashless payment and M2M telemetry solutions for self−serve, small−ticket retailing industries, today reiterated the preliminary results of this morning’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Based on the preliminary vote count provided by USAT’s proxy solicitor, shareholders have elected all of the Company’s director nominees, consisting of Deborah G. Arnold, Steven D. Barnhart, Joel Brooks, Stephen P. Herbert, Albin F. Moschner, Frank A. Petito, III, Jack E. Price, William J. Reilly, Jr. and William J. Schoch.

In connection with the meeting and in response to the press release issued by dissident shareholder, Bradley Tirpak and the S.A.V.E. group earlier today, the Company issued the following statement:

We believe that the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was held in full compliance with Pennsylvania law and the Company’s governing documents. We were disappointed by the conduct of Bradley Tirpak and various members of the S.A.V.E. group who behaved in a disruptive manner and without regard to common courtesy owing to other shareholders. We would again like to thank shareholders for their support and we look forward to continuing to execute on our strategy for value enhancement, without further disruptions from Tirpak and the S.A.V.E. group.

IVS Associates, Inc., the independent inspector of elections, has indicated that it expects to issue the preliminary voting results within the next few business days, which USAT will publicly announce. Final results of the election will also be announced once they are certified by the inspector of election.
