NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (“Volt” or the “Company”) (NYSE-MKT:VISI), an international provider of staffing services and technology outsourcing services, today announced that, effective after the close of the markets on March 6, 2017, it completed the sale of Maintech, Incorporated (“Maintech”), its information technology infrastructure support business, to Maintech Holdings, LLC, a newly-formed holding company and affiliate of Oak Lane Partners, LLC, whose management team has significant experience in the technology infrastructure support industry.
Under the terms of the sale agreement, Volt sold Maintech for a purchase price of $18.3 million, subject to a $100,000 holdback, deductions for outstanding debt and certain expenses and a customary closing working capital adjustment, which resulted in Volt receiving cash proceeds of $13.9 million at closing. The purchase price is subject to possible adjustments following closing, including under a customary post-closing working capital adjustment and through the potential release to Volt of the $100,000 holdback if certain conditions are satisfied.
“We are pleased to announce the completion of the sale of Maintech and believe this business will continue to thrive under new ownership,” said Michael Dean, Volt’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “The divestiture of non-core assets has been an important part of our goal to simplify Volt’s corporate structure and streamline our operational focus. Similar to our previous divestitures, we are confident that the sale of Maintech will enable us to better allocate management attention and resources to opportunities within our core staffing business, where we believe we are best positioned to add value. In addition, the immediate cash proceeds from the transaction have significantly strengthened Volt’s balance sheet and improved our financial flexibility.”
Maintech Holdings, LLC is owned by MTECH Holdings, LLC.
Information concerning this transaction was filed by Volt today with the Securities and Exchange Commission and can be obtained at www.sec.gov or the ‘Investors’ section of Volt’s website at www.volt.com.
Stifel Financial Corp. acted as sole financial advisor, and Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP acted as legal advisor to Volt in connection with the transaction.
