Solverdi Worldwide Ltd (ASX: SWW), the world’s first renewable utility, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of 100 percent of the stock in Aristos International, a leading data center services design and build firm, for 5 million ordinary shares of Solverdi at $0.13 per share. The shares will be subject to a 12 month escrow period. The Aristos transaction is expected to add approximately $7 million USD to revenues, with approximately 20 percent of that to EBITDA for the remainder of the 2009 calendar year, subject to business as usual and no unforeseen material adverse events or incidences arising.

Aristos International (www.aristosint.com), founded in 2008 by principals Rob Nash-Boulden and Gary Cudmore, provides comprehensive data center services, including site selection, feasibility studies, consulting, construction, project management, engineering, capacity audits, layouts and configurations, computational fluid dynamic studies, constructability analysis, reliability studies, site surveys, equipment sourcing and procurement, redundancy planning, electrical, architectural, structural, mechanical and plumbing, budgetary development, fire suppression, raised floors, and site commissioning. Aristos maintains its headquarters in Arizona, it also has operations in California and Colorado while performing work throughout the entire United States.

Dennis Danzik, CEO of Solverdi Worldwide, stated, “This is an important strategic acquisition for Solverdi. By integrating Aristos’ expertise in the data center design/build process with our patented, low-cost, “green” electricity generating process, we can help companies take their costly back-up generators and turn them into an economical energy source with a tremendous return on investment while helping companies take steps to go “green.” We are also pleased to be gaining the intellectual resources of the Aristos employees and the leadership of Aristos founder Gary Cudmore, who will remain President of the Aristos subsidiary of Solverdi. The Aristos name will continue to be a brand under the Solverdi company umbrella.”

Gary Cudmore, President of Aristos International, commented, “This combination significantly advances the strategic objectives of Aristos. In particular, Aristos can serve as a critical bridge to providing our customers with a green, renewable energy solution via their existing, untapped, uninterruptable power source, or UPS, infrastructure. We are excited to be joining the Solverdi team and look forward to capitalizing on market opportunities for our combined products and services.”
