Fitchburg, MA – March 3, 2016 (TSX-V: SDZ) (OTCBB: SDEV) Security Devices International Inc. (“SDI”) today announced that it has entered into an exclusive, non-binding term sheet to acquire a US based manufacturer and distributor of less-lethal tactical products (the “Target”) for a purchase price of USD$4,140,000 cash, plus an earn out of up to USD$400,000.
The Target is a well-established entity both in the US and international markets, within this sector. The Target has a history of domestic and international military contracts, and has done extensive work with special operations within the US military.
