SulphCo Appoints New CEO and Chairman After Dispute

SPARKS, Nev., Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SulphCo(R), Inc. announced today that the majority of the Board of Directors dismissed Dr. Rudolf W. Gunnerman as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company effective January 12, 2007. Dr. Gunnerman will continue to serve as a director of the Company. Larry Ryan, PhD, has been named the new Chief Executive Officer and Robert H. C. van Maasdijk has been appointed Chairman of the Board.

Dr. Ryan comes to SulphCo (Nachrichten) from the General Electric Advanced Materials Division, where he led the Elastomers and RTV business. Dr. Ryan has a PhD from the University of Delaware, a Six-Sigma Blackbelt certification, and a long history of working with chemical process-dependent technologies. He is a graduate of the esteemed General Electric Edison Engineering Development Program, a technical leadership program focused on process engineering projects and product quality improvements. Dr. Ryan has a proven track record of delivering results in the area of new process-technology development.

Robert H. C. van Maasdijk, a director of SulphCo since April 2005, is the former chairman and CEO of Attica Alternative Investment Fund, Ltd., a private investment fund which he headed since 1999. For the previous 16 years, he served as managing director and CEO of Lombard Odier Investment Portfolio Management Ltd., one of the oldest and largest private banks in Switzerland.

Dr. Gunnerman had presented the Board with putative amended and restated By-laws which threatened the ability of the Board to function in the best interests of the shareholders. The Board rejected such changes as not being effective in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. The majority of the Board then proceeded with the dismissal of Dr. Gunnerman and will be asserting its control. The Board will also be seeking judicial relief in support of its actions.

Mr. van Maasdijk said, "The manner in which the Board was forced to change management was unfortunate but it represents the next stage of development for the Company and the Board believes Dr. Ryan is well suited to drive the Company to future success." Mr. van Maasdijk stressed the importance of proving the validity of the mechanical and chemical aspects of the SonoCracking process, before launching a major marketing effort. Further, the majority of the Board believes Dr. Ryan is admirably well suited to this task. Dr. Ryan explained, "I am very excited to join the Company during this transition period and look forward to the challenges ahead." The new management team stated that SulphCo will immediately focus on commercial validation and enhancement of its SonoCracking technology.

The SulphCo Board is committed to transparent communication internally and with the investor community. The Company will host an investor update, and question and answer session in the coming days introducing the new management team. A press release with exact date and time will be issued shortly.

SulphCo's Largest Shareholder Files Suit Against Members of the Company's Board of Directors

RENO, Nev., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Rudolph W. Gunnerman, the former CEO and a director of SulphCo, (Nachrichten) Inc. ("SulphCo"), as well as the Company's largest shareholder, filed suit in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada against certain members of the Board of Directors of SulphCo. The actions which Dr. Gunnerman seeks to prevent are the directors' purported amendments of the Company's bylaws to increase the amount of shares of voting stock a shareholder must hold in order to call a Special Meeting of Shareholders to sixty-six and two-thirds percent (66 - 2/3%), as well as granting the authority to amend, alter, add, rescind or repeal the bylaws exclusively to the Board of Directors.

"While I would have preferred not to have to go to court to enforce the rights of all shareholders, I strongly believe that the purported amendments unlawfully attempt to disenfranchise SulphCo's shareholders while entrenching the positions of the other directors," said Dr. Gunnerman. "The directors need to recognize that their duty is to the shareholders."

A Notice of Special Telephonic Meeting of the Board of Directors of SulphCo was issued on January 16, 2007 for a meeting to commence at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday, January 17, 2007. This Notice was issued mere hours after the filing of Dr. Gunnerman's Amended Schedule 13D, in which he describes his desire to force a shareholder meeting to allow shareholders to effect a change in the corporate leadership of SulphCo. The directors' purported amendments are designed and intended to prevent SulphCo's shareholders from calling a special shareholders' meeting and to make it impossible for those shareholders to amend or alter the corporate bylaws. Should these amendments become effective, the position of four individuals who hold an insignificant ownership position in SulphCo will be entrenched, while those who own a significant interest in the Company will be left without the ability to choose their representatives and without recourse.

Members of SulphCo's(R) Board of Directors Counterclaim Against Former Chairman and CEO R. W. Gunnerman

SPARKS, Nev., Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The four independent directors of SulphCo(R), Inc. have responded to the lawsuit commenced by SulphCo's deposed Chairman and CEO, Dr. Rudolf W. Gunnerman, by asserting a counterclaim yesterday seeking a declaration that their action amending the By-laws was proper and detailing the violations by Dr. Gunnerman of the Company's policies and relevant federal securities laws that led the directors to act in the best interests of all shareholders by making the amendment.

While Dr. Gunnerman mischaracterizes the recent directors' action as an attempt to "entrench themselves", the fact, as set forth in the directors' answer and counterclaim, is that these independent directors were compelled to act in order to protect the Company.

Chairman of the Board, Robert van Maasdijk stated "It is unfortunate that these matters have been dragged into court, but we, as directors of SulphCo, (Nachrichten) will vigorously pursue all avenues to fulfill our duty to the Company and all of the shareholders. As the facts unfold, we believe that the directors will be vindicated. We feel strongly that under Dr. Ryan's new leadership we are now moving in the right direction."

Dr. Gunnerman Issues Statement in Response to Counterclaim by Members of SulphCo's Board of Directors

RENO, Nevada, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Rudolph W. Gunnerman, the former CEO and a director of SulphCo, (Nachrichten) Inc. ("SulphCo"), as well as the Company's largest shareholder, today responded to the counterclaim filed by certain members of the Board of Directors of SulphCo in the Second Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada. Dr. Gunnerman previously filed suit against these directors to prevent them from stripping shareholders of their right to decide what bylaws should govern the Company by granting the Board of Directors the exclusive authority to amend, alter, add, rescind or repeal the Company's bylaws.

"The accusations in the counterclaim filed today by certain members of SulphCo's Board of Directors are without merit. I intend to vigorously defend myself against these baseless allegations and I will continue to seek relief from the court in my effort to protect the rights of all shareholders," said Dr. Gunnerman. "While the counterclaim makes a number of vicious, personal attacks, it does not explain why certain members of SulphCo's Board are trying to deprive shareholders of their rights. I strongly believe that the directors' self-serving efforts to entrench themselves and advance their own interests directly contradict their obligation to act in the best interests of all SulphCo shareholders."
