Solomon Signs Letter of Intent to Acquire Deltron
TARPON SPRINGS, FL. December 13, 2006 — Solomon Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:SOLM) announced today that it has signed a letter of intent to acquire Deltron, Inc., a North Wales, Pennsylvania based manufacturer of power supplies and related equipment. Deltron provides precision linear and switching power supplies and power supply systems for applications where power density and functionality are critical. Deltron has manufacturing operations in Reynosa, Mexico.
The letter of intent contemplates that Solomon, through its Technipower subsidiary, will purchase the assets and certain selected liabilities of Deltron, for an undisclosed amount. The purchase price will be subject to increase or decrease based on changes in Deltron's working capital between October 31, 2005 and the closing date. Solomon will assume Deltron's trade payables and its accrued expenses as part of the transaction. The transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a definitive purchase agreement and the satisfaction of various closing conditions including a due diligence investigation and the negotiation and execution of agreements with certain Deltron personnel. While no assurances can be given as to when the acquisition may close, Solomon currently anticipates that the acquisition will close during the first quarter of 2007.
Solomon President Peter W. DeVecchis, Jr., said, "The acquisition of Deltron is another step in our plan to expand our Power Electronics Division around our core operations at Technipower. The combination of Technipower's high power, high reliability product lines in conjunction with Deltron's low power precision products should permit us to expand our cross selling efforts, open new market channels and broaden our systems capabilities." He continued, "In addition, we expect to gain significant cost advantages across all our operations from the addition of Deltron's manufacturing operations in Mexico. We expect to maintain some Deltron operations in Pennsylvania and add resources in Mexico as the business grows."
