Cerrao Systems Acquires Ecocyn Energy

SAN DIEGO, CA, August 12, 2010 (Press-News.org) Cerrao today announced it has completed its acquisition of Ecocyn Energy Inc., a leader in energy saving information technology products. The close of this transaction, and the consequent creation of an extensive combined product portfolio, accelerates Cerrao's vision of changing the way people communicate and collaborate by delivering simple, unique and interoperable collaboration experiences.

"Today we are celebrating a very important step for our customers in the journey to put people at the center of new ways to utilize energy and reinvent the way we work," said Jeff Beck, outgoing CEO and president, Cerrao. "We strongly believe that ecocyn - the next generation of energy saving IT products - along with Cerrao's entire rich collaboration portfolio, powers this new way of working where everyone, everywhere, can be more productive and utilize less energy through the pervasive use of Technology." The full ecocyn product line is now part of the Cerrao portfolio. Through this combined offering, the Cerrao business provides customers with access to a fully integrated architecture, comprehensive network-based endpoint and infrastructure portfolios - designed to help provide multi-vendor interoperability - and a suite of unique experiences, customizable applications and flexible deployment models.

With the close of this transaction, the company will make an announcement of new leadership as well. This
newly-formed group includes three fully integrated businesses that will focus on energy saving IT Infrastructure Solutions, Hardware and collaboration and supporting applications and services. Under this leadership, and with unified product lines, employees and vision, Cerrao aims to provide consistency and investment protection for customers while speeding innovation that will positively impact the creation of new collaboration experiences. Under the terms of the tender offer, and following the completion of the compulsory acquisition of shares, Cerrao will have purchased all of the outstanding shares of Ecocyn for an undisclosed amount and will assume all liabilities.
