FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC.
Stock
Purchase Agreement
Denver, CO – Business Wire – Xxxxx 0, 0000 Xxxxxxx Financial Services, Inc. (OTCBB: ENFN: the “Company”) entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement on March 4, 2005 by and among the Company, Entrust Mortgage, Inc. and BBSB, LLC (“BBSB”) pursuant to which BBSB has agreed to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of Entrust Mortgage in exchange for the cancellation of any and all obligations of the Company to BBSB and Entrust Mortgage and the assumption of certain obligations of the Company to third-parties (the “Stock Sale”). The closing of the Stock Sale is subject to a number of conditions, including approval of the Stock Sale by the requisite vote of the Company’s shareholders, receipt of third party consents and other customary closing conditions. In addition, BBSB may not be required to close the Stock Sale if it notifies the Company prior to April 3, 2005 that it is not satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigation of the Company or the contents of the Company’s disclosure schedule to the Stock Purchase Agreement.
Shareholders of the Company will not receive any consideration in the Stock Sale. The Company will have no operations upon the closing of the Stock Sale and will be relieved of substantially all third party obligations, which will be assumed by Entrust Mortgage or BBSB. Upon the completion of the Stock Sale, Entrust Mortgage will be a subsidiary of BBSB, and the Company will be a publicly held company with nominal assets and limited contingent liabilities. The Board of Directors is continuing to analyze the Company’s strategic alternatives following the Stock Sale.
Since the termination of the Company’s financing agreement with Guaranty Bank and Trust Company in October 2004, the Company has been actively considering its strategic alternatives, including procuring additional financing or entering into an agreement with a strategic partner. Despite such efforts, the Company has been unable to secure sufficient additional capital or enter into a transaction with a strategic partner that would allow the Company to continue its operations.
The Company will file a proxy statement and other documents with the SEC regarding the Stock Sale, and other matters. A definitive proxy statement will be sent to the Company’s shareholders, seeking their approval of the Stock Sale and the Stock Purchase Agreement.
