Emerson Radio Corp. and ADCOM, LLC Form Joint Venture
Monday February 25, 8:00 am ET
Joint Venture Creates Integrated Design and Manufacturing Platform With Growth Opportunities in Consumer Electronics Market
PARSIPPANY, NJ and SCOTTSDALE, AZ—(MARKET WIRE)—Feb 25, 2008 — Emerson Radio Corp. (AMEX:MSNNews) and ADCOM, LLC today announced that they have closed on a previously disclosed agreement in principle to form a joint venture, named Advanced Sound and Image, LLC, or ASI, for the primary purpose of manufacturing, selling, distributing and/or licensing audio and video equipment for the home and office.
“We believe the joint venture will result in increased creativity and innovation across our entire audio category as it matches the distinct and separate strengths of Emerson Radio and ADCOM,” said John Spielberger, President-North American Operations of Emerson. “Coupling our combined knowledge of the electronics marketplace, with ADCOM’s sophisticated products and engineering/development expertise and Emerson’s access to world class manufacturing and distribution capabilities, creates numerous growth opportunities for ASI. We believe that the long-term upside of this venture makes this an attractive opportunity for Emerson Radio and its shareholders.”
Dan Donnelly, Managing Director of ADCOM, LLC, stated, “There’s tremendous potential in combining ADCOM’s products with the resources of Emerson, a respected name in the electronics industry. The joint venture allows us to leverage each partner’s strengths to create new opportunities for growth. We look forward to working together to bring innovative products to market.”
Under the terms of the joint venture, in exchange for a controlling interest in ASI, Emerson has made a nominal upfront cash investment and has made available a secured line of credit to help capitalize ASI. ADCOM, in exchange for a non-controlling interest in ASI and nominal cash consideration, has contributed tangible and other assets to ASI and granted ASI an exclusive, worldwide royalty-free license to make, sell and distribute products incorporating ADCOM’s intellectual property, including its trademarks.
ASI will be headquartered in Emerson’s Parsippany, New Jersey office and operated from Scottsdale, Arizona.
