STCC Sterling Consolidated Acquisition Committee Announces Continued Progress with Acquisition Targets
Sterling Consolidated Corp. (OTCBB:STCC) (the "Company"), a leading supplier of hydraulic and pneumatic seals to the automotive and industrial marketplace, today announced that its Acquisition Committee has issued three term sheets to prospective targets, whose revenues combine for approximately $5 million.
The acquisition targets are strategically located in regions throughout the east coast – from the Northeast to Florida – and would provide the Company with additional domestic and new international customers. Given the Company's recent closing of $2.45 million in senior bank debt, Sterling's management feels confident these term sheets can go directly to definitive agreements upon close of negotiations with minimal dilution.
Darren DeRosa, Chief Executive Officer of Sterling Consolidated, commented, "Our Acquisition Committee has done an excellent job of narrowing down our extensive target list so that we can focus on negotiations with the most likely candidates for acquisition. We have offered favorable terms to the prospective targets and for the Company, and believe we can close on these acquisitions over the coming months. Upon closing, the combined revenues from the acquisitions would provide approximately $5 million to our top line and provide further validation of our roll-up strategy."
