WELLAND, Ontario -- Albert Iannantuono, President & CEO of Andromeda Media Capital Corporation Limited (OTCBB:ADMPF.PK) announced today that the company has completed its due diligence and closed the purchase of Belcom Canada Inc., a private network consulting and project management firm
The Company made the announcement to purchase Belcom in April 2004 but delayed the closing until the company and the board of directors had completed its due diligence on the firm. Belcom brings a team of over 30 programmers, networking specialists and senior project managers. Dennis Sherbakov, owner and majority shareholder of Belcom, has joined Andromeda and e-commatrix.com (R) inc. as the Vice President of Technology. Mr. Sherbakov will oversee all aspects of client project development and execution from a technology perspective.
Since the announcement of the acquisition, Mr. Sherbakov and Belcom have been employed as contractors for the Company and have been involved in several high profile projects.
"Belcom and Andromeda have worked closely together for the past year while the purchase was being finalized and during this time the two companies have created a powerful development team that will ensure the ongoing success of e-commatrix," said Iannantuono. "The wealth of knowledge and experience we have gained through Belcom has enabled us to deliver on our promise of improved services to our clients."
Upon completion of its due diligence, the Company was successful in renegotiating financial terms of the transaction and reports that it has acquired all of the shares of Belcom Systems Canada Inc. and will operate Belcom as a wholly owned subsidiary with effect from October 1, 2004. On February 18, 2005 Andromeda issued to the shareholders of Belcom, a total of 750,000 common shares in the Company issued at $0.4646 per share and has agreed to pay $150,000 over the next three years, for a total purchase price of $502,200. As a result of this transaction, the shareholders of Belcom will hold 16.22% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Andromeda. Dennis Sherbakov, former president of Belcom, now holds 10.81% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Andromeda.
