Syniverse Completes
Acquisition of
EDS Interoperator Services North America
Tampa, Fla. - Sept. 30, 2004 -
Syniverse Technologies, (www.syniverse.com), a global communications technology company,
today announced it has completed the acquisition of EDS Interoperator Services North America (EDS IOS). EDS IOS was owned by Electronic Data Systems, Inc (EDS). The purchase price was $53.7 million payable in cash, including working capital
adjustments. The purchase price is subject to future adjustments that management believes will be immaterial.
The acquisition was funded by additional borrowings under Syniverse's current credit facility and cash. Along with the incremental borrowings, Syniverse has amended various terms and conditions under its credit
facility, reducing the applicable margin, extending the maturity on the facility and modifying various covenants.
"The completion of the EDS IOS acquisition is another important step for Syniverse as we execute our plan to expand our business and our presence throughout the
world", said Syniverse Chief Executive Officer Ed Evans. "This acquisition increases the scope and scale of services we offer to wireless voice and data providers in the areas of clearing and settlement for roaming and business
intelligence reporting".
EDS IOS is the third acquisition made by
Syniverse since becoming a privately held corporation. It immediately adds 28 new clearing customers to Syniverse's growing worldwide customer base of nearly 300 wireless, wireline and Wi-Fi providers.
