Business Wire
American Claims Evaluation, Inc. (Nasdaq: AMCE) (the �Company�)
announced today that on September 12, 2008 (the �Closing Date�),
the Company acquired Interactive Therapy Group Consultants, Inc.
(�ITG�) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement (�Stock Purchase
Agreement�) entered into by and among the Company, John Torrens,
Kyle Palin Torrens and Carlena Palin Torrens. ITG is in the
business of providing a comprehensive range of services to children
with developmental delays and disabilities. The Company had
previously reported that this acquisition would be effected through
the acquisition of substantially all of the assets and business of
ITG. However, due to concerns over the timing of the assignment of
contracts by ITG to the Company, it was deemed to be in the best
interest of both parties to re-structure the deal in the form of a
stock sale. The purchase price paid to the shareholders of ITG was
adjusted accordingly. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase
Agreement, the Company paid a purchase price of $570,000 in cash to
the Sellers. Following the Closing Date, the purchase price is
subject to adjustment depending on the final determination of the
tangible net worth of ITG as of the close of business on the
Closing Date. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, $105,000 of
the cash consideration was deposited into an escrow account in
accordance with an Escrow Agreement to assure that there are funds
available to satisfy certain indemnification obligations. ITG also
entered into a two-year Employment Agreement (the �Employment
Agreement�) with John Torrens in connection with the Stock Purchase
Agreement. Under this Employment Agreement, Mr. Torrens will be
employed as President of ITG, is entitled to receive an annual base
salary of $200,000 and is entitled to certain other benefits. The
Employment Agreement contains non-competition, non-solicitation and
confidentiality provisions. Subsequent to the Closing Date, the
Company paid off ITG�s line of credit and a term note payable
totaling approximately $1,105,000, including interest. ITG will
seek a new line of credit for working capital purposes, if deemed
necessary. On September 12, 2008, the Company also completed the
disposition of its wholly-owned subsidiary, RPM Rehabilitation
& Associates, Inc. (�RPM�), pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement (the �Purchase Agreement�) whereby the Company sold all
of the issued and outstanding shares of RPM to Stephen D. Renz, the
President of RPM, for a purchase price of $150,000 in cash, plus an
additional purchase price of up to $150,000 in cash contingent upon
the future net earnings of RPM calculated over a period of five
years from and after the closing of the transaction. Regarding the
acquisition of ITG, Gary Gelman, the Company�s Chairman of the
Board, announced plans to seek additional acquisition opportunities
in this highly-fragmented industry in addition to the current
opportunities for organic growth available to ITG.
