PRESS RELEASE
Exhibit 99.7
PHOENIX, Jan. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Alpine 4 Technologies Ltd. (
ALPP
) has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of privately held McAlester OK-based Horizon Well Testing, an oil field services company. The transaction is effective immediately, and payment will be in cash, debt and stock. The purchase price is $5.5 million. The new Alpine 4 subsidiary's website can be accessed at
www.horizonwelltesting.com.
Alpine 4 has also appointed Mr. Michael Steele to be the President of Horizon.
Important synergies will be realized at Horizon Well Testing as Alpine 4 uses the core of its "6th Sense Auto" inventory management system to create inventory management software for Horizon's heavy equipment asset base. The new SaaS software package will allow Horizon to lead its industry in real-time reporting of equipment in the field. Alpine 4 believes that the package will be the first in the oil service industry.
Alpine 4 CEO Kent B. Wilson commented, "This transaction represents a perfect opportunity to enhance the growth of Alpine 4, while at the same time expanding the reach of our inventory management software already being sold to automobile dealerships as '6th Sense Auto.' Since our beginning, Alpine 4 is an opportunistic acquirer of companies that can benefit from Alpine 4's public opportunities and resources to drive future growth. The acquisition of Horizon furthers this strategy and allows Alpine 4 to continue its history of success by offering a strong portfolio of products and services to the oil services market, resulting in enhanced competitiveness within the industry".
Benefits of the transaction:
·
Alpine 4's acquisition of Horizon will broaden the Alpine 4 portfolio to the industrial and oil services industry; an industry that is primed for strong growth in 2017 and 2018.
·
As a leader in its industry, Horizon will also be using one of Alpine 4's subsidiary company's (ALTIA) automotive aftermarket safety device products called "BrakeActive" and is expected to be one of the first commercial fleets in its industry to use a pulsing 3rd brake light safety system.
Alpine 4 is also proud to announce that Mr. Michael Steele will serve as President of Horizon. Michael brings over 20 years of executive and project management experience to Horizon. He has a BA and a Masters of Science from the University of Arizona.
