Concerned ALCO Stockholders ("Concerned ALCO Stockholders", "CAS" or "we"), a group led by David Pointer and Dilip Singh, announced today that it intends to mail its own proxy statement to stockholders of ALCO Stores, Inc. (Nasdaq:ALCS) ("ALCO") for the purpose of giving ALCO stockholders the opportunity to vote for new Board members at the ALCO 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

CAS is a group dedicated to maximizing stockholder value and improving corporate governance at ALCO. CAS member David Pointer said, "While we strongly support CEO Richard Wilson and the new team that he has assembled in Coppell, Texas, we also believe that certain members of the current Board of Directors may not be the right people to represent stockholder interests going forward. For this reason, we intend to mail out our own proxy statement ahead of the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders."

Concerned ALCO Stockholders believes that stockholders should have the opportunity to consider voting for new Board members, instead of simply re-electing existing incumbent members of the Board of Directors. CAS' proxy statement will explain the strengths of each of its nominees, and each stockholder will get the opportunity to decide which of the CAS nominees to vote for, and which of the incumbent nominees to vote for.

Concerned ALCO Stockholders is not currently soliciting votes at this time, and is only providing information concerning its concerns and intentions.

David Pointer is a fund manager and stockholder of ALCO. Dilip Singh is an experienced public company board member who has created wealth for stockholders across a number of industries.
