HALIFAX, Sept. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SolutionInc Technologies Limited (SolutionInc) (TSX-VEN: STL), developer of award-winning Internet connectivity, billing and management software and services announced today that it has entered into a Letter of Intent to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Line 4 Communications Inc. from Armshore Investments Limited, and 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pelatis BPO Solutions Inc. from Pelatis BPO Limited (the "Share Purchase").
Halifax-based Line 4 Communications Inc. designs, provisions, installs and manages integrated communications applications for small and medium sized companies, distributed enterprises and contact centers. The acquisition of Line 4 Communications Inc. will broaden SolutionInc's product portfolio to include IP telephony systems and increase potential recurring revenue streams.
SolutionInc's Share Purchase of Pelatis BPO Solutions Inc., a business process outsourcing service provider operating in Canada and the Philippines will allow SolutionInc to maintain more service offerings within its own organization, reducing its third-party outsourcing costs and increasing profit margin potential.
"This is an extremely significant development for SolutionInc, and one that will have a positive impact on current and future partners and customers. The Purchase of Line 4 Communications Inc. and Pelatis BPO Solutions Inc. will expand our capacity, improve efficiencies and allow us to offer customers a wider range of solutions as part of our core business," says SolutionInc President and CEO Glen Lavigne. "Additionally this transaction will increase our capacity in many critical areas of our business and introduce the company to new markets while at the same time reducing our cost of doing business. As SolutionInc's worldwide customer base and footprint continues to expand, the addition of the operations center in Manila, Philippines will play an essential role in helping us meet customer demands. Organizations today are looking for that 'one-stop shop' for their technology requirements; this opportunity moves us closer to that model."
"SolutionInc is entering a very exciting period. Line 4 Communications Inc. and Pelatis BPO Solutions Inc. enhance SolutionInc's product offering, providing a more compelling and service-oriented solution with greater revenue potential from both existing and new customers. I am very pleased and excited to be now working with SolutionInc on these and other opportunities in the future," adds Stephen Lockyer, President of Armshore Investments Limited and Director of Pelatis BPO Limited.
As consideration for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Line 4 Communications Inc., SolutionInc will issue 12,000,000 common shares and 5,000,000 warrants to purchase common shares of SolutionInc for a two year period at an exercise price 1.4 times the average closing price of SolutionInc on the three trading days prior to the closing date of the Share Purchase and assume long-term debt not to exceed $450,000.
As consideration for the 51% of the issued and outstanding shares of Pelatis BPO Solutions Inc., SolutionInc will issue 10,000,000 common shares.
