Solomon Closes $15 Million Acquisition Credit Facility
DANBURY, Conn., August 27, 2007 - Solomon Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:SOLM), announced today that it has signed a definitive financing agreement which provides for up to $15 million in credit exclusively for acquisitions. The agreement provides funds on a standby basis secured by the acquired assets and a guarantee by Solomon. The agreement contemplates that Solomon will use the facility to strike more quickly at unique acquisition opportunities that are consistent with its growth plans.
"We are extremely pleased to have closed the credit facility in anticipation of our expanding acquisition activity," said Gary G. Brandt, Chief Executive Officer of Solomon. "As we build Solomon's operating plan beyond our existing acquisitions of Deltron and Unipower, we expect to roll this facility forward as we consolidate the acquired companies and procure permanent financing. This is a very important step in reaching our $100 million revenue goal for 2009. We will speak more about this step and our larger plans at our quarterly conference call in early September."
The credit facility has a one year term that is renewable at the option of the lender. The facility may be drawn on at Solomon's sole discretion, subject to the approval of the proposed acquisition by the lender's investment committee and to the lender's normal due diligence. The lender, JMC Venture Partners, LLC, is an affiliate of Michael D'Amelio, one of Solomon's directors.
