Shareholders of Argent Networks Do Not Approve Acquisition
Redknee (AIM: RKN), a leading provider of innovative infrastructure software that monetizes and personalizes services and content for mobile operators, announces that the shareholders of Argent Networks Ltd. did not approve the acquisition of the assets of the company by Redknee Solutions Inc., which was a necessary condition to close the transaction. While Redknee does not intend to make an improved offer for Argent, management is assessing whether there are other alternatives for purchasing certain assets of the Company.
Based on the foregoing, Redknee re-iterates its December 4, 2007 guidance that fiscal 2008 revenues will be between $45 million and $48 million.
Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO at Redknee, commented:
“Whilst we are disappointed not to have received shareholder approval, we will continue an open dialogue with Argent’s management in the hope of reaching an agreement.
“Argent is one of a number of acquisition possibilities being considered by management and we remain committed to capitalising on suitable opportunities.”
