Greenwood Hall Discusses Acquisition Growth Strategy

SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Greenwood Hall Inc. (OTCQB: ELRN), a provider of technology-enabled student lifecycle management services that help colleges and universities increase revenue and improve student engagement and outcomes, says it is looking for potential acquisition targets as a means to enhance the company’s growth.

“We believe there are strategic acquisition opportunities for Greenwood Hall in the marketplace, and we are exploring this avenue as a means to accelerate the company’s growth,” said John Hall, Ed.D., Chairman and CEO of Greenwood Hall.

According to Hall, acquisition opportunities in the education space could include larger firms struggling with legacy issues, perhaps in the education publishing space, as well as smaller venture capital-backed education technology firms that lack relationships and struggle with product distribution. Greenwood Hall can attract acquisition candidates, says Hall, because it is already well established and can “open doors” for such companies. In addition, the company has a goal of being uplisted to the Nasdaq stock exchange, and achievement of this goal could further encourage potential targets to consider joining with Greenwood Hall.

Greenwood Hall has engaged Berenson & Co., a financial advisory firm with specialized expertise in the education space, to assist in identifying targets, says Hall.
