SHREWSBURY, NJ, Dec. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InterCloud Systems, Inc. (the "Company" or "InterCloud") (OTC:ICLD), a leading provider of cloud networking orchestration and automation solutions and services, today announced the signing of a letter of intent to undertake a merger with WaveTech Global Inc., a global next generation energy management company that specializes in asset lifecycle extension, data-analytics, intellectual property development, and implementation services, pursuant to which WaveTech will become a wholly owned subsidiary of InterCloud, and InterCloud will be renamed WaveTech Global, Inc. In connection with the Merger, it is anticipated that the original WaveTech security holders will receive between 93% and 95.5% of the outstanding shares of the combined company, depending on the relative amount of outstanding liabilities of the parties at closing.
WaveTech’s extensive suite of products include power asset life extension, operational servicing and automation, lifetime cost reduction, and real-time heterogeneous power source switching. WaveTech’s Power-Control network architecture (patent pending) creates an automated intelligent network from your power storage and generation assets to accomplish a diverse set of customer specific goals from maximizing availability to minimizing cost. In addition, WaveTech’s patented approach to crystal control (CCT®) can dramatically reduce the need for backup energy capital expenditure and associated operating costs for the environmental control and maintenance needed to protect and operate these critical energy assets. CCT’s dramatic improvements in cost and reliability were born from a portfolio of patented intellectual property specializing in the manipulation of crystallization formations within fluid media.
InterCloud will file to complete a reverse stock split before the merger closes. The Post-merged, company intends to list on the NASDAQ exchange under the name Wavetech Global,Inc as soon as it meets the requirements for listing,but there can be no assurance that such a listing would be accepted. Therefore, InterCloud will continue to trade on the OTC Pink until NASDAQ requirements are met.
The merged company will focus on developing its proprietary portfolio of technologies to address the large and rapidly growing critical power industry. The merger is expected to close in early 2019, pending the satisfaction of various closing conditions. The post-merged entity will operate under the new name, WaveTech Global, Inc. BV Advisory Partners is acting as advisor to the transaction.
Mark Munro, CEO of InterCloud Systems stated, “"This strategic merger of WaveTech and their platform of cutting edge products has the opportunity to create value for our shareholders but will also address significant unmet needs in the marketplace.We expect to work diligently with WaveTech to restructure InterCloud’s balance sheet in order to meet the requirements of an anticipated definitive merger agreement. We look forward to advancing WaveTech’s developing and commercializing their products into the global marketplace."
Dag Valand, CEO and Co-Founder of WaveTech Gmbh stated, “In the last year we have transitioned from a German based company that provided a unique battery life extension product into an innovative global technology platform company with operations in the United States and Europe. We have done this through our revolutionary CCT and PCU Technology. We have established a solid platform for commercialization of our CCT and PCU product line with leading global partners and have a solid pipeline of potential agreements with other partners and customers. This is a good time to join forces with InterCloud and allow WaveTech to become a public company in the United States. “
Mike Kotlarz of WaveTech Global stated, “We are proud of WaveTech’s progress globally in in building an exciting technology platform company that provides unique solutions and services to Global customers in the Power, Technology, and Telecommunication Sectors. This is a defining milestone in WaveTech’s endeavor to transform the monolithic nature of legacy energy assets and the utility grid to a more flexible, available, and manageable architecture akin to that of a distributed communications network. We believe WaveTech’s CCT and PCU technology and commercial infrastructure is differentiated and will help our customers save money and become more efficient in managing their infrastructure.”
