VALLEY COTTAGE, NY -- SEPTEMBER 17, 2004 -- MTM Technologies, Inc.
(NASDAQ:MTMC), a leading computer and communications technology management
company providing IT networking and data center services, including storage,
security, messaging, and VOIP solutions, today announced that it acquired the
assets and business operations of Network Catalyst, Inc., a Cisco Gold Certified
Partner and Nortel Elite Solutions provider of advanced technology solutions in
VOIP, infrastructure, and security. MTM Technologies also announced that on
September 16, 2004, it completed a $5.5 million equity investment by Pequot
Ventures, the private equity arm of Pequot Capital Management, Inc., a leading
investment firm.
The acquisition of Network Catalyst expands MTM Technologies' presence from New
York and Southern New England to major markets in Southern California, including
Los Angeles. Network Catalyst founder and CEO Bill Corbin and his senior
management team will be leading MTM Technologies' West Coast business, with four
offices serving Southern California.
"VOIP, IT infrastructure, and security, Network Catalyst's core competencies,
are three of the cornerstones of MTM Technologies' strategy", said Francis J.
Alfano, MTM Technologies' CEO. "The addition of Network Catalyst provides our
combined clients with an exciting array of IT solutions specifically engineered
to meet the needs of middle market businesses. This acquisition expands MTM
Technologies' offerings into the West Coast market and helps drive our
continuing national expansion program. Since launching its
growth-through-acquisition strategy, MTM Technologies has grown significantly.
MTM Technologies and the acquired businesses would have had combined FY2003
annual revenues of $91 million. We are on track to have a significant national
practice within 18 months, as we continue executing our strategy of acquiring
solutions-oriented IT providers".
"As the marketplace for integrated services and managed solutions continues to
evolve, it is of paramount importance for Network Catalyst to align itself with
an organization that has national scope. These combined capabilities will enable
the company to deliver a broad range of offerings that reach across our client's
network into the applications that are driving their decisions. We believe that
MTM Technologies' strategy, vision, execution, and solution offerings, combined
with our networking expertise, will create the benchmark for delivering
integrated services for the future", said Bill Corbin, CEO of Network Catalyst.
On May 20, 2004, MTM Technologies' shareholders approved an investment of up to
$25 million by Pequot Ventures. The approved transactions authorized the sale to
Pequot Ventures of up to $25 million of convertible preferred stock and warrants
in tranches. MTM Technologies completed the initial $7 million tranche of the
Pequot Ventures investment on May 21, 2004 and completed a second $5.5 million
tranche on September 16, 2004. The second tranche of $5.5 million is in the form
of preferred stock, convertible into 2,000,000 shares of MTM Technologies'
common stock at a conversion price of $2.75 per share, and 400,000 warrants with
an exercise price of $3.44 per share. The purchase of any or all of the third
tranche, in an aggregate investment amount of up to $12.5 million, is solely at
Pequot Venture's option.
Pequot Venture's Managing General Partner and MTM Technologies' Chairman of the
Board, Gerald A. Poch, noted that "MTM Technologies is well positioned to become
a leading national provider of IT solutions to the middle market. This
