DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--INX Inc., (NASDAQ: INXI) signs Definitive Agreement with Presidio.

Both Presidio and INX clients will benefit greatly from this partnership. The similarity of the two cultures should lead to a very smooth transition.”
The transaction is expected to close in early 2012, subject to the receipt of shareholder approval and other customary closing conditions. INX is a publicly traded stock on the NASDAQ exchange. Under the terms of the agreement, INX shareholders will receive $8.75 per share. INX’s board of directors has approved the merger agreement and is recommending that INX shareholders adopt the agreement.
“We are extremely excited about becoming part of this combined organization”, stated Mark Hilz, INX President and CEO, “Presidio and INX have been pursuing similar strategies in the IT solutions marketplace.
