NEW YORK, December 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Energtek Inc. (OTCBB: EGTK), today announced that it is filing a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The effect of this filing is to suspend Energtek's reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and to terminate the registration of its common stock. The Company expects the deregistration to become effective upon its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under the SEC's rules, a company with fewer than 300 record holders may voluntarily terminate the registration of its securities by filing a Form 15 with the SEC. Energtek currently has fewer than 300 record holders. The Company's duty to file periodic and current reports with the SEC will be suspended immediately upon the filing of the Form 15.

The Board of Directors of Energtek decided to take this action after due consideration and careful analysis. It compared the advantages and disadvantages of deregistering and continuing to operate as a publicly, reporting company, particularly in light of the fact that the Company was not successful in its capital raising efforts in the United States. The Board of Directors concluded that the net benefits of deregistering outweighed those of continuing as a public reporting company.

In reaching this decision, the Board of Directors focused on, among other items, shareholder value. As such, it considered a number of factors during its analysis. These included the elimination of the disproportionately large costs, both direct and indirect, associated with the preparation and filing of the Company's periodic reports with the SEC as well as avoidance of the increases in costs associated with being a public company in light of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related SEC rules. The Board also considered the market value that the public markets have historically applied to the Company's shares and took note of the fact that trading of the Company's stock has historically been limited.
