Rye, NY – May 9, 2017 – LICT Corporation (“LICT”; Pink Sheets ®: LICT ) LICT Corporation (“LICT”) notes that Straight Path Communications Inc. (“Straight Path”) has issued a press release relating to the previously announced bid by AT&T to acquire Straight Path. Straight Path announced that its Board of Directors has determined that a “Superior Proposal” to the AT&T bid has been received by Straight Path in the form of a revised offer from a multi-national telecommunications company to acquire 100% of Straight Path’s shares outstanding for $184.00 per share, to be paid in the bidder’s stock. The press release also noted that this bidder’s offer price implied an intrinsic value for Straight Path of $3.1 billion, and that AT&T has the option for the next three business days to negotiate a price that will match or exceed the bidder’s price.
In connection with the possible acquisition of Straight Path, LICT also notes that PTPMS Communications, LLC (“PTPMS”), in which LICT has a minority ownership position, partnered with Straight Path in 2012 on twenty two 39 GHz licenses then owned by PTPMS, see attached list of licenses. Relevant to the value of LICT’s ownership interest in PTPMS, Mr. Alfred Angelo, President and General Partner of PTPMS, has stated that “PTPMS is contractually entitled to a 20% of the net proceeds on this sale of the licenses it transferred to Straight Path, which it will share with all of its stakeholders, including LICT.”
LICT is monitoring developments in the possible acquisition of Straight Path. We expect and anticipate that the value of LICT’s interest in the PTPMS licenses involved will be appropriately realized for LICT and its shareholders.
