PALM BEACH, Fla., Nov. 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Global Digital Solutions, Inc. (GDSI), a company that is positioning itself as a leader in providing cyber arms manufacturing, complementary security and technology solutions and knowledge-based, cyber-related, culturally attuned social consulting in unsettled areas, today announced that it expects to complete the planned merger with Airtronic USA, Inc. ("Airtronic") on or before November 22, 2013, and that Airtronic's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case will be discharged at a scheduled bankruptcy court hearing on November 27, 2013.
As announced on October 3, 2013, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division, confirmed Airtronic's chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization plan ("Plan") on October 2, 2013. The court's confirmation of Airtronic's Plan paved the way for GDSI to complete its acquisition of Airtronic, now expected on or before November 22, 2013. Airtronic's bankruptcy case will be dismissed upon the consummation of the Plan – which includes completion of the merger with GDSI.
Once the merger is completed and the bankruptcy case is discharged by the court, Airtronic will be capitalized with adequate working capital to compete effectively as an innovative leader in cyber arms manufacturing.
"These anticipated developments within the next several weeks represent major steps in the right direction for GDSI and Airtronic," said GDSI's President and CEO Richard J. Sullivan. "As I outlined in my recent Open Letter to the Public (http://www.gdsi.co/rjs_open_letter.html), the merger with Airtronic is a key milestone in GDSI's global growth strategy. We're very excited that we'll be able to complete the merger and that Airtronic will emerge from the bankruptcy process in less than a month. These important developments will only serve to accelerate our momentum going forward."
