Brookside Technology Enters Into a Material Definitive Agreement to Acquire Standard Tel Networks, LLC
Acquisition advances strategy to build leading nationwide provider of
converged VOIP, data, video and wireless business solutions
TAMPA, Fla.–(EMWNews)–Brookside Technology Holdings Corp. (OTCBB: BKSD), a provider of
converged VoIP, data, video and wireless business communications
systems, today announced that it has entered into a Stock and Membership
Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase
Agreement”) to acquire Standard Tel Networks,
LLC (“STN”).
STN generated approximately $11.0 million in revenue for the trailing
twelve months ending May, 31, 2008. The purchase price for STN will be
financed primarily through a combination of mostly debt and some equity.
The parties have agreed to use their best efforts to close the
Acquisition as soon as possible but in any event prior to August 31,
2008. Final terms and conditions will be forthcoming upon the closing of
the acquisition
With California offices in San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego and
headquarters in Los Angeles, STN, a MITEL Platinum Service Provider, is
one of the largest independent business communications providers in the
United States. Since its founding in 1979, STN has grown from a
traditional voice and data communications integrations company to a
premier provider of IP telephony solutions. STN provides ‘best-in-class’
network solutions and is a single source for the most advanced voice,
data and video convergence solutions.
Michael Nole, Chairman and CEO, stated, “Thanks
to our recent recapitalization, we are now better positioned to resume
the acquisition component of our business plan—specifically,
acquiring complementary, accretive and profitable businesses at
favorable valuations. We are excited about this acquisition as it meets
our strict criteria and offers numerous benefits that include: greater
geographic penetration; the ability to market a broader suite of voice
and data services to our respective customers; and high recurring
revenue and cash flow. STN is a perfect addition to our existing
business and will help to accelerate our growth plans.”
Mr. Nole continued, “We are pleased to
welcome Mike Promotico, STN’s CEO, as a
valued member of our senior management team. Under Mike’s
leadership, STN grew from a local service company to a premier provider
of IP telephony solutions with over 8,000 customers across the U.S. We
appreciate his strong support for this transaction and look forward to
his ongoing contributions.”
Michael Promotico, STN’s CEO and President,
commented, “We are extremely excited to be
joining the Brookside family. Collectively, we share the same business
philosophies, products and services and feel together we will make a
significant impact and look forward to contributing and participating in
the future growth of the combined companies.”
The closing of the Acquisition is subject to various closing conditions
set forth in the Purchase Agreement and described in greater detail in
the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the
Securities & Exchange Commission on July 23, 2008. There can be no
assurances that these closing conditions will be satisfied or that the
Company will be able to consummate the Acquisition.
