KEASBEY, N.J. -- Homeland Security Network (Pink Sheets: HSYN), doing business as Global Ecology Corporation (GEC), announced today that it has successfully completed the sale of its GPS Technology to Global Safety Holdings (GSH).
Under the financial terms of the sale, GEC will receive a minimum of $4 million over GSH’s initial three or more years of operation. GEC also will receive 3,111,111 shares (10% of current issued and outstanding) of GSH, which can be diluted only by the infusion of a third party cash infusion. Based on current projections as provided by GSH (www.completeventure.com/ONEPAGER.pdf) this sale is expected to be worth approximately $15 million in net income to GEC over the next three years.
Although the GPS business is no longer considered to be a part of its core business, GEC will continue to develop its U.S. and Mexico markets for the foreseeable future under license to GSH.
GSH has a contract with the Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC / Finance Leasing Co.) of Moscow to provide GPS products and tracking services. The contract runs through December 2020 and is valued at more than $1.8 billion. The initial order is for 100,000 units to be delivered through July 2009 with subsequent annual orders to be increased by 15,000 units through the 2020 end of the contract. GSH anticipates additional contracts of smaller size will be generated from their relationships within the 15 additional countries in the Russian Federation.
Global Ecology CEO Peter Ubaldi said, “GEC is very excited about this transaction and new relationship for several reasons. Not only will we share in a huge GPS market that we could never have entered, but the unit volume generated by GHS will reduce our product cost to as low as or lower than our U.S. and Mexico competitors. Additionally, GSH has agreed to help introduce our environmental technologies to their Russian Federation relationships, which will further expand our market opportunities in that part of the world.”
