Corporate
Resource Services Completes
Acquisition
of
Tri-Diamond
Staffing Inc.
NEW
YORK—(January 31, 2011)—Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (OTCBB: CRRS), a
national provider of temporary and permanent staffing services (the “Company”),
completed its previously announced acquisition of Tri-Diamond Staffing Inc. from
an affiliate of Tri-State Employment Services, Inc on January 31,
2011. Tri-Diamond Staffing, which following the consummation of the
acquisition will be known as Diamond Staffing Services, Inc., is in the business
of providing temporary and permanent employment staffing services and related
support services principally to clients in light industrial
businesses. The purchase price is approximately $25 million which was
paid through the issuance of 29,411,765 shares of the Company's common
stock.
Tri-Diamond
Staffing had sales of approximately $77 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2010, with approximately $1.8 million in pre-tax income for the
same period. The company has 23 offices throughout the United
States.
“We are
pleased by the addition of Diamond Staffing Services” said Jay H. Schecter,
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Schecter continued “this
acquisition will only serve to strengthen the business of Corporate Resource
Services.”
The
transaction was reviewed and approved by a special independent committee of the
Board of Directors. The special committee received a fairness opinion
from The BVA Group LLC, which indicated that the purchase price paid by the
Company for Tri-Diamond, as well as the price per share of the Company's common
stock used to determine the number of shares to be issued, was fair from a
financial point of view to the unaffiliated stockholders of the
Company.
