Volt Information Sciences Receives $5 Million in Net Cash as Part of Early Retirement of Note and a Settlement Agreement with NewNet Communication Technologies, LLC

Volt Information Sciences, Inc. (“Volt” or the “Company”) (NYSE-AMERICAN:VISI), an international provider of staffing services and managed service programs, today announced it has entered into a settlement agreement with NewNet Communication Technologies, LLC (“NewNet”) and the Company’s affiliate Volt Delta Resource Holdings, Inc. (“Volt Delta”).

The settlement related to the Company’s December 2014 sale of its Computer Systems segment, Volt Delta, to NewNet, a transaction which generated proceeds of $10.0 million in the form of an interest-bearing note maturing on December 1, 2018 (“the Note”). The December 2014 transaction also included a working capital adjustment and certain indemnity claims which remained outstanding prior to October 27, 2017.

Under the agreement, NewNet agreed to pay off the Note more than a year early for $7.5 million. Volt agreed to settle the outstanding working capital adjustment, receivables under the transition services agreement, and other indemnity claims for $1.5 million. The net result is the Company received cash from NewNet of $5 million on October 27, 2017, as well as a $1 million promissory note maturing no later than January 31, 2018. The Company and NewNet agreed to a mutual release, relieving all parties of their obligations and settling minor indemnity claims.

Commenting on the announcement, Michael Dean, Volt’s President and CEO, said, “We are very pleased to have successfully resolved all outstanding issues related to the prior sale of Volt Delta. This settlement has resulted in an immediate net cash inflow of $5 million, further improving Volt’s balance sheet and financial flexibility.”
