XETA Technologies Announces Closing of Merger with PAETEC
Broken
Arrow, Okla. — XETA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: XETA), a national provider of converged
communications solutions for the enterprise marketplace, announced today that it has completed its
merger with PAETEC Holding Corp. through one of PAETEC’s subsidiaries. As a result of the
merger, XETA is now a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of PAETEC. The Merger was overwhelmingly
approved by XETA’s shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders on May 26, 2011.
Each share of XETA common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger was converted into
the right to receive $5.50 in cash, (the “Merger Consideration”). In addition, warrants and most
options to purchase shares of XETA common stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger became
entitled to receive the Merger Consideration less any applicable exercise price and tax
withholdings. The total Merger Consideration was approximately $61 million in the aggregate.
As a result of the merger, XETA has become a privately-held company, its stock will no longer
be traded on NASDAQ, and its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission will
cease.
