VoltDelta Completes Merger with LSSi
Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (NYSE: VOL) (the Company) announced
today that its wholly owned subsidiary Volt Delta Resources, LLC, has
completed the merger of a VoltDelta subsidiary with LSSi Corp. The newly
merged entity, known as LSSi Data, is a wholly owned subsidiary of
VoltDelta. Merger consideration was approximately $70 million in cash,
subject to final adjustment based on LSSi Corp’s
working capital as of the closing date.
The merger brings together two of the world’s
leading providers of directory data and information services. VoltDelta
offers both hosted and customer-premises directory assistance, operator
services, data management, and information service solutions to the
global telecommunications marketplace. LSSi Data develops and markets
highly accurate, telephony-sourced national databases of telephone
listings, and has important expertise in managing high-volume daily
updates to very large directory databases. Both companies have many years’
experience providing leading-edge solutions to similar customers,
ranging from major wireless and wireline carriers to enterprise
customers, including specialized vertical industries such as collection
agencies, direct marketing companies, online media, and many others.
"There is terrific synergy in this merger,”
said Joe DiAngelo, President of VoltDelta. "The
two companies have highly compatible industry experience and bring with
them a number of high-leverage capabilities. For example, LSSi’s
extremely accurate directory assistance databases and information
services integrate perfectly with VoltDelta’s
speech automation services and web-based and call center information
solutions. The merger will also allow VoltDelta directory assistance
customers to have global access to 24 international databases.”
The combination of the two companies creates significant new
capabilities. "This move will accelerate the
introduction of enhanced database solutions such as wireless databases.
It will also allow us to expand the delivery of important directory
database services to non-traditional channels, both in the U.S. and
around the world,” said DiAngelo. "The
merger gives us outstanding leverage to better serve and grow our U.S.
and European data markets in important areas such as business
information, speech automation solutions, and hosted directory enquiry
systems. It will have a significant impact on the breadth and quality of
our services.”
Morgan Joseph & Co. Inc. acted as advisor to the Company with respect to
the transaction.
