Computer Task Group Responds to Unsolicited Proposal from RCM Technologies, Inc.
BUFFALO, N.Y., Aug 21, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ --
Computer Task Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: CTGX) (CTG) today issued the following statement in response to RCM Technologies, Inc.'s (Nasdaq: RCMT) (RCM) proposal to acquire all of its outstanding common stock for $5.25 per share, with 50% being payable in RCM stock and 50% in cash:
Since June 25, 2007, RCM has made two opportunistic proposals to acquire the Company. Today's announcement by RCM simply reiterates the terms of its July 25, 2007 proposal, which, after careful consideration, the CTG Board of Directors unanimously determined is inadequate and does not reflect the value inherent in CTG or the Company's potential growth opportunities. The CTG Board strongly believes in the Company's ability to successfully execute its strategic plan and provide significant value to its stockholders. With regard to its business, the Company expects to continue to see improvements in staffing demand, and has closed several large solutions projects. In addition, CTG expects to enter into additional solutions contracts, particularly in its healthcare vertical, that the Company believes will contribute to its results in the second half of the year. Given these growth opportunities and the improving mix of higher margin solutions business, the Board and management are confident in its future prospects.
Backed by 41 years' experience, CTG provides IT application management, consulting, software development and integration, and staffing solutions to help Global 2000 clients focus on their core businesses and use IT as a competitive advantage to excel in their markets.
