TRM Announces Sale of European ATM Business
Portland, Oregon: January 24, 2007 – TRM Corporation (NASDAQ: TRMM) announced today that it has sold TRM (ATM) Limited (“TRM”), its subsidiary that owns all of its ATM business in the United Kingdom and Germany, to NoteMachine Limited (“NoteMachine”), a leading UK-based ATM operator, for £47.1 million or approximately $92.6 million at exchange rates in effect on January 24, 2007. NoteMachine is a portfolio company of Rutland Partners LLP (“Rutland”), a UK private equity partnership.
“The sale of our European ATM business is a component of our ongoing efforts to simplify our business operations. This sale, together with the sale of our Canadian ATM business, which closed earlier this month, and our United States photocopy business, which is scheduled to close this week, will allow us to focus our efforts and resources on our United States ATM business. We will continue to have one of the largest ATM networks in the United States, and are committed to its excellence and growth,” said Jeff Brotman, TRM President and Chief Executive Officer.
Net proceeds from this sale were used to pay down debt obligations under the Company’s secured credit facilities with Wells Fargo Foothill, GSO Capital and other lenders.
The Company was advised by Hawkpoint Partners Limited and by Allen & Company LLC with respect to the transaction.
