INX Inc., (NASDAQ: INXI)
signs Definitive Agreement with Presidio.
INX Inc. and Presidio Inc. announced today that they have entered into a
definitive agreement, whereby Presidio will acquire all of the
outstanding common stock of INX. The proposed transaction will create
one of the largest national advanced IT solution providers. The post
transaction company, which will carry the Presidio name, will employ
over 1,800 IT professionals operating out of 45+ offices across the
United States and will offer clients unparalleled access to world-class
consulting, engineering & technical resources.
Presidio and INX both capitalized early on important market transitions
to create leading Data Center and Cloud, Collaboration, Security and
Network Infrastructure Architecture practices. Each company delivers a
full suite of mature managed and hosted services offerings associated
with those architectures. Both firms have created business models to
deliver innovative, purpose-built solutions that address the entire
technology lifecycle and drive business value. Additionally, both
organizations are recognized as elite strategic partners by leading
technology providers including Cisco, EMC, VMWare, NetApp and VCE.
"We are pleased to unite with such a well regarded and professional
organization as INX. There is tremendous synergy between the two
companies. Combining INX and Presidio’s capabilities will enable us to
offer one of the broadest portfolios of services and advanced IT
solutions available in the industry,” explained Kevin Penn, Presidio’s
Chairman. "Our two firms share similar values and a commitment to
providing transformational technology solutions that enable superior
business results. Both Presidio and INX clients will benefit greatly
from this partnership. The similarity of the two cultures should lead to
a very smooth transition.”
The transaction is expected to close in early 2012, subject to the
receipt of shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions.
INX is a publicly traded stock on the NASDAQ exchange. Under the terms
of the agreement, INX shareholders will receive $8.75 per share. INX’s
board of directors has approved the merger agreement and is recommending
that INX shareholders adopt the agreement.
"We are extremely excited about becoming part of this combined
organization,” stated Mark Hilz, INX President and CEO, "Presidio and
INX have been pursuing similar strategies in the IT solutions
marketplace. Combining our organizations will enable us to accelerate
our growth and quickly build the scale that we need to provide the
highest quality of service to our clients. Simply put, this combination
is a win for our clients, employees, and our shareholders.”
Presidio has a history of merging great companies. Over the last seven
