ARLINGTON, Texas, Jan. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- VirTra Systems, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: VTSI) today announced it has signed a definitive agreement with Virtra Merger Corporation to acquire three private electronics manufacturing firms: Altatron International, Inc., Chrysalis Manufacturing Corporation d/b/a Altatron EMS, and Dynalyst Manufacturing Corporation.
An 8-K regarding the agreement was filed earlier today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, VirTra Systems will acquire the three companies in a stock-for-stock merger transaction. The acquisition is anticipated to increase the company's revenue ten-fold.
Altatron, http://www.altatronems.com/ , is an ISO 9001:2000 original equipment manufacturer in the telecommunications, networking, computer, consumer electronics, and medical devices industry. Dynalyst, http://www.dynalyst.com/ , is a boutique company focusing on extremely high-end PCB design engineering and fabrication for the semiconductor industry.
VirTra Systems will use the technological and manufacturing capabilities from the acquisition to advance its patent-pending immersive firearms training simulators. The acquisition also diversifies and expands the scope of the company's business plan into the electronics manufacturing services industry.
The transaction is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, with proxy distribution expected in late February.
"The terms of the agreement are quite favorable to the company and, most importantly, to our shareholders," commented L. Kelly Jones, VirTra Systems' chief executive officer. "Once the merger is complete, the result will be a significantly larger, financially stronger, and more diverse company, with 2006 revenue projected in excess of $30 million."
A shareholder conference call will be conducted shortly after the proxy statement is mailed to the company's shareholders.
