JK Acquisition Corp. Announces Merger Update

Business Wire, July 10, 2007

HOUSTON -- JK Acquisition Corp. (AMEX: JKA, JKA-U, JKA-WS) previously filed a current report on Form 8-K, dated February 15, 2007, with the SEC regarding the First Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 14, 2007 (the "Merger Agreement"), with Multi-Shot, LLC, Catalyst/Hall Growth Capital Management Co., LLC, as Members' Representative, and the members of Multi-Shot. On July 9, 2007, Multi-Shot verbally notified JK Acquisition Corp. that if JK Acquisition is unable to obtain stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement prior to July 31, 2007, then Multi-Shot intends to exercise its termination rights on July 31, 2007 or soon thereafter pursuant to Section 9.01(a) of the Merger Agreement. Based on the current status of JK Acquisition's proxy materials related to the Amended Merger Agreement, as well as certain terms and provisions in the Merger Agreement and JK Acquisition's bylaws, JK Acquisition does not believe that it will obtain the necessary stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by Merger Agreement prior to July 31, 2007. It is JK Acquisition's current belief that any inability to obtain the necessary stockholder approval prior to July 31, 2007 is the result of wrongful acts and omissions by Multi-Shot, and JK Acquisition is exploring its options to protect the interests of its stockholders.
