Velocity Express Corporation (VEXP) has executed a conditional letter of intent to acquire control of the Company from a management buyout group led by Mr. Vincent A. Wasik, Velocity's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and backed by Mr. Wasik's private equity firm MCG Global, LLC.
The transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including financing, definitive documentation, continued listing on Nasdaq, continuation of a senior credit facility and the approval of the Noteholders and the Company's preferred and common stockholders. There is no obligation on the part of the Company to negotiate exclusively with the Management Buyout Group, but the Group will be entitled to expense reimbursement, up to a maximum of $150,000, if another transaction is accepted. The terms of the transaction, while not final, will involve issuances of a substantial number of shares of common stock of the Company, which will likely substantially dilute the value of the currently outstanding shares. The letter of intent may be terminated by either party if the Management Buyout Group has not received a binding financing commitment and consent of those holding at least 67% of the Senior Notes, and executed definitive documents, by July 10, 2009. Nasdaq has given the Company until August 3, 2009 to come into compliance with its $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing.
