» Melbourne IT & WebCentral Merger
By Verity Meagher | Published 23/Aug/2006 | Press Releases , Media Centre | Unrated
NetRegistry is disappointed with WebCentral board's decision to reject pursuing our $1.65 to $1.75 per share, $74m to $78m proposal to acquire the WebCentral Group.

Larry Bloch, CEO of NetRegistry said "NetRegistry had full confidence in securing the necessary equity sufficient for a fully funded offer of $1.75. What we lacked was support by WebCentral's Board. Our view was that the support of the WebCentral Board was the pivotal condition remaining for our proposal."

"I believe our proposal is significantly better for WebCentral shareholders. At $1.75 cash WebCentral shareholders would have a better deal. However, without the WebCentral Board clearly indicating their support for a bid at that price, we simply ran out of time", said Bloch.

NetRegistry has 10 years experience of hosting, unlike MelbourneI T who has just two years. We have our own dedicated, Australian based infrastructure compared to Melbourne IT's outsourcing arrangement with a US based hosting provider.

NetRegistry is the third hosting business founded by Larry Bloch - the first of which is listed on the London Stock Exchange and the second was sold to another UK listed plc.
