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.
