OTC Disclosure & News Service

–

Mace Security International and Washington Labs LLC announced today that they have entered into an agreement in principal under which Mace will acquire substantially all of Washington Labs assets, rights and properties for an undisclosed sum of cash and stock. Upon closing, the transaction will make Mace one of the largest manufacturers and producers of less lethal defense sprays in the world. Mace and Washington Labs anticipate the closing date will be on or about the 1st of February, 2017.

Washington Lab’s reputation in producing high quality defense spray products will benefit from Mace’s innovation and industry expertise. The companies complement each other and each company’s customers and partners will also benefit in the short and long term due to this acquisition.

“In reviewing options to sell Washington Labs, Mace was the best fit in terms of stability, process and also the ability to service Washington Lab’s customers. I feel both my employees and customers will benefit from this transaction” stated Larry Harris, founder of Washington Labs Inc.

As an industry leader with deep customer relationships, EPA approved formulations and a recognized portfolio of best-in-class products, Washington Labs immediately establishes a strong foundation to augment Mace’s future growth

Barring any unforeseen circumstances not uncovered during the thorough diligence process, we expect this transaction to be immediately accretive to earnings.
