Pensare Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: WRLS) (“Pensare”), a
publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, is pleased to
announce that it has completed its previously announced business
combination with Stratos Management Systems, Inc. and its operating
companies, which do business as Computex Technology Solutions
(“Computex”), a leading IT Solutions and Managed Services Provider
(MSP) with a 30-year legacy of success.
The business combination was approved at a special meeting of
stockholders of Pensare on February 27, 2020, and closed on April
7, 2020. In connection with the transaction, Pensare has changed
its name to American Virtual Cloud Technologies (“AVCT” or the
“Company”). The shares of common stock of AVCT are expected to
begin trading on the Nasdaq tomorrow, April 8, 2020, under the
symbol “AVCT” and the warrants of AVCT are expected to trade on the
Nasdaq under the symbol “AVCTW.”
Computex will continue to operate under its name and its
Executive Leadership team of Sam Haffar, Chief Executive Officer;
Faisal Bhutto, EVP of Enterprise Networking, Cloud &
Cybersecurity; Worth Davis, EVP & CTO; Chris Laney, EVP of
Sales; and Jesus Perez, EVP & CFO will continue to lead
Computex and work alongside AVCT to expand into new markets.
AVCT believes it is well-positioned to quickly emerge as a force
in the UCaaS market. AVCT’s new product portfolio, coupled with its
previously announced agreement with AT&T, will enable AVCT to
target mid-market business customers with cloud-based, fully
managed unified communications, networking, and managed IT
solutions, including remote workforce capabilities.
“With the completed acquisition of Computex, we now have a
strong platform where we can build a premier virtual cloud
communications and technology provider,” said AVCT CEO Darrell
Mays. “AVCT’s strategy is to provide Computex with the capital,
expertise, and resources they need to enhance their growth
organically as well as enable acquisitions to enter new
markets.”
To further enhance its leadership and strategic management, AVCT
has appointed Thomas King as Chief Financial Officer and, as
previously announced, Graham McGonigal as Chief Operating Officer
to help execute on the overall growth strategy with Computex. Mr.
King has an extensive background as senior executive with various
private equity sponsored and public companies including Allied
System Holdings, Inc. and WestRock Company. Mr. McGonigal will draw
from his experience in his previous roles as Chief Operating
Officer of nsoro and MasTec Network Solutions as well as executive
positions at AT&T, Vonage, Cingular Wireless, and
Bellsouth.
“We are delighted to join AVCT to expand our brand presence,
offerings, and grow our market share in building a global cloud
services and full-scale IT solution provider,” said Sam Haffar, CEO
of Computex. “We believe this transaction will not only allow us to
better serve the existing customers responsible for Computex’s
success to date, but also further enhance our strategic leadership
and business planning prowess to turn market potential into steady
growth.”
Summary of Transaction
Pensare acquired Computex for a mix of shares of the Company’s
common stock, subordinated debentures, warrants to purchase shares,
and assumption of indebtedness. The debentures and warrants were in
the same forms as those issued and sold by the Company in a private
placement effected by the Company in connection with the
transaction.
