September 18, 2001 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Vizacom Inc. (vizacom.com), a provider of professional Internet and technology solutions, yesterday announced it has signed a non-binding letter-of-intent to acquire SpaceLogix, Inc., a privately held company specializing in co-location, hosting and network management solutions.
r
r
Under terms of the letter of intent, SpaceLogix is to extend to Vizacom a
r
series of secured bridge loans for a total of $650,000, and in connection
r
therewith will receive 400,000 shares of Vizacom common stock. Upon the
r
closing of a definitive acquisition-merger agreement, Vizacom will issue to
r
SpaceLogix’s stockholders approximately 2.15 million shares of Vizacom’s
r
common stock and warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of Vizacom common stock
r
at an exercise price equal to 110% of the market price. SpaceLogix is to
r
place 750,000 of the shares it is to receive in escrow, to be released upon
r
completion of a private placement to accredited investors that raises no
r
less than aggregate net proceeds of $1 million for Vizacom within 120 days
r
of execution of the merger. Trautman Wasserman & company, Inc. is to act as
r
the placement agent for the private placement. Additionally, upon completion
r
of the acquisition, SpaceLogix will have the right to appoint one director
r
to Vizacom’s board of Directors.
r
r
Vincent DiSpigno, Vizacom’s president, said that “SpaceLogix’s co-location
r
and network services businesses are expected to complement and strengthen
r
our comprehensive data center and professional services businesses, further
r
developing our presence in these markets and facilitating the accomplishment
r
of our goal of generating a higher percentage of our revenues from higher
r
margin services business. We also believe that SpaceLogix’s key employees
r
provide us with the resources to help manage our growth in these areas.
r
Despite the recent economic and credit difficulties we have faced, with the
r
addition of SpaceLogix to our business, we now expect to reach cash flow
r
positive operations by the second quarter of 2002.”
r
r
According to Wayne Allen, president of SpaceLogix, “We have aggressively
r
studied the co-location and managed network services space over the past
r
year, developed a compelling business strategy and service offerings and
r
assembled a strong and experienced senior management team. We believe that
r
the combination of SpaceLogix’s strong co-location capabilities and
r
excellent managed service product range and technical support with Vizacom’s
r
established data center and professional service capabilities, will provide
r
current and future customers with a full range of seamless capabilities
r
ranging from a robust hardware installation capability to custom-managed
r
co-location solutions and highly experienced professional and managed
r
services. We expect that this unique breadth of capabilities will enable us
r
to exploit this exciting marketplace more rapidly and profitably than either
r
company could have done independently.”
r
r
Vizacom’s board of directors intends to seek the approval of Vizacom’s
r
stockholders to approve the acquisition of SpaceLogix at a special meeting
r
of stockholders, which is to be held in November 2001. Consummation of the
r
merger is conditional on, among other things Vizacom’s ability to
r
restructure or satisfy approximately $1 million of its current liabilities.
r
Vizacom and SpaceLogix believe they will meet all conditions to the planned
r
definitive merger agreement. Vizacom and SpaceLogix expect to close the
r
transaction within the next eight to twelve weeks.
