August 8 - MDI, Inc. to Acquire Building in San Antonio, Texas and Receive $2.6 Million
MDI, Inc. (NASD: MDII) recently announced that it has entered into an agreement with Ridgemont Investment Group, LLC ('Ridgemont') dated August 7, 2007 for the acquisition by Ridgemont of 5,306,122 MDI common shares which were previously to have been purchased by Stratis Authority, Inc.
The terms of the agreement between MDI and Ridgemont provide that at a closing, to take place by October 15, 2007, Ridgemont and MDI will exchange the following consideration:
1. Ridgemont will pay to MDI $2,600,000 in cash and MDI will deliver to Ridgemont 2,000,000 of the 5,306,122 registered shares; and
2. Ridgemont will deliver to MDI ownership of the property located at 10226 San Pedro, San Antonio, Texas and MDI in return will deliver 3,306,122 registered shares.
The shares have been registered with the SEC on Form S-3 which was declared effective on August 6, 2007.
J. Collier Sparks, CEO and President of MDI, stated, 'We have been working with Stratis and Ridgemont on reaching an agreement on the receipt by MDI of the $2.6 million purchase price for the 5.3 million shares originally sold to Stratis. Simultaneously, we have been working with Ridgemont and its principals on acquiring permanent office space in San Antonio to accommodate our expected growth requirements. The agreement we have put in place with Ridgemont accomplishes both of these objectives.'
'The original arrangement with Stratis required that it pay MDI $0.49 per share for the 5.3 million shares. Under the current deal with Ridgemont, 2 million shares are priced at $1.30 per share in cash, this is an $0.81 per share increase in price over what the original agreement with Stratis called for.
'In addition, under the new agreement, Ridgemont will sell to MDI 100% of the real property where our corporate offices are currently located. The property being purchased consists of a multi-story, 32,000 square foot building, where MDI currently occupies the top floor consisting of 16,000 feet, as well as two other buildings on the property, bringing the total footage to 50,000. The property is valued at approximately $9.5 million and is subject to a $5.5 million loan secured only by the property, with there being no personal liability to the maker of the note.
'Closing is subject to MDI assuming this loan and the parties concluding other agreements typical of a commercial real estate transaction. The agreement we reached with Ridgemont today replaces the one that we made on June 21 to acquire 50% of Data Rose Limited Partnership, the partnership that owns the offices we formerly occupied at 9725 Datapoint. That agreement has been terminated with no liability to either party.'
