Uniserve to buy Managed Services Company
Includes Private Microsoft Azure Pack, New Expertise and Managed Services Technology
VANCOUVER, B.C., June 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uniserve Communications Corporation (TSX-V:USS.V) is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to purchase Xanity Cloud Solutions, a BC based managed service company. Ms. Sarah Morton, the CEO of Xanity, who has been in the IT Managed Services business for over 15 years, will be joining Uniserve as the head of Enterprise Managed Services and Data Centre Group. The closing will take place before the end of June.
A critical component of the purchase was also acquiring the Microsoft Azure Private Pack. As Uniserves VP of Technology, Gurmeet Jutla recently said:
“By having our own Microsoft Azure Pack, hosted on the west coast of Canada, companies will now have the ability to run their primary workload in a private cloud while being able to augment spot resources in the public Azure cloud for the small durations required. This is feasible and very advantageous for businesses, because the two clouds are very similar. Given the politics in the UK and issues around data sovereignty and security in the US- this makes eminent sense for the Canadian market.”
The Company further wishes to announce that it has agreed to a private placement of 4,000,000 Units at $0.10 per unit closing on or before June 30th 2017, each unit consisting of one common share and one transferable 2 year share purchase warrant. One warrant will be exercisable for one additional common share at $0.10 per share during year one, or $0.11 per share during year two. The proceeds derived from the total 4,000,000 Unit placement will be used for working capital. There will be no fees payable in relation to this private placement.
The company also wishes to announce that all but 125,000 warrants of the the 12,353,000 warrants exercisable at $0.10 expiring June 10, 2017 were exercised. The CEO of Uniserve, Nicholas Jeffery said: “This is a significant validation of our ability to create a far reaching vision and implement it. It’s rare for a business trading at this level and early on in its growth strategy to have such a positive result with this amount of warrants exercised.”
