Houston,
TX, USA: Lonestar Capital Corp. to Acquire Light Energy Systems
Lonestar
Capital Corporation, an emerging aggregator of Solar Energy Integrators,
has signed a Letter of Intent to acquire Solar Self Help, Inc.
dba Light Energy Systems of Concord, California.
Light
Energy Systems is a full-service solar energy company founded
in 1980 and specializes in the design, installation and maintenance
of photovoltaic solar energy, solar water heating, and solar pool
heating systems. Duane Campbell is the President of Light Energy
Systems. Under the Letter of Intent, Lonestar would acquire all
of the issued and outstanding common shares of Light Energy Systems
in exchange for a combination of cash and issuance of stock in
Lonestar.
Steve
Vella, Chief Operations Officer of Lonestar said, "Bringing Light
Energy Systems into the Acro Energy Technologies family of companies
will be a win-win for both sides. Light Energy is one of the Bay
Area's most experienced solar energy design and contracting firms.
Duane Campbell is one of California's PV pioneers."
Harry
Fleming, CEO of Lonestar, commented, "The acquisition of Light
Energy Systems is the next step in Lonestar's business plan following
last month's successful acquisition of Acro. We believe that Light
Energy Systems and Acro will build on each other's strengths.
This deal is a perfect fit with several other acquisition targets
with which we are currently negotiating,"
Closing
of the acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including
negotiation of a definitive acquisition agreement, completion
by Lonestar of a satisfactory due diligence review of Light Energy
Systems, receipt of all necessary contractual, regulatory and
governmental consents and approvals, the absence of any material
adverse change affecting Light Energy Systems, and any necessary
approval of the transaction by the appropriate authorities at
the TSX Venture Exchange.
Lonestar's
business plan is focused on the consolidation and growth of renewable
energy companies, primarily in the United States solar market.
Lonestar through its acquisition of Acro Electric, Inc., a leading
California residential solar integrator, has initiated its acquisition
campaign in the solar integrator market. Lonestar continues to
evaluate suitable acquisition candidates across North America.
