York-based investment firm and the largest shareholder of USA Technologies, Inc. (&#147;USAT&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) (OTC: USAT) with beneficial ownership of approximately 16.3% of common stock, today disclosed that HEC, through its
affiliated fund HEC Master Fund LP, has filed a lawsuit with the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County, Pennsylvania to invalidate the Company&#146;s recent Bylaw amendment (the &#147;Retroactive Bylaw Amendment&#148;) that deprives Hudson
Executive, and every other USAT shareholder, of the right to call any special meeting at all before the next annual meeting of shareholders. USAT has not held an annual meeting of shareholders in nearly 19 months. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Douglas Braunstein, Founder and Managing Partner of Hudson Executive, stated: &#147;The USAT Board&#146;s retroactive manipulation of the Company&#146;s
Bylaws to block an anticipated proxy solicitation is the latest in a series of blatant, value-destructive and entrenching actions. These efforts to thwart shareholder democracy should concern not only all shareholders, but also the business and
regulatory communities at large. As the Company&#146;s largest shareholder, we plan to defend the rightful owners of the Company by fighting these egregious acts in court.&#148; </P>
