ENGlobal Corporation: Some Of The Deal Finalized

ENGlobal Finalizes Divestiture of Land and Right of Way Division

Houston, TX, Nov. 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ENGlobal Corporation (NASDAQ: ENG), announced today that it successfully completed the divestiture of its Land and Right of Way division to Steele & Company, LP based in Tyler, Texas ("Steele"). Pursuant to the final agreement, the Company will retain approximately $4.5 million of this division's working capital at the time of closing, in addition to receiving a $3.0 million promissory note payable over four years from Steele. Subject to the agreement, the purchase price was adjusted based on the net working capital of the division at the time of closing. ENGlobal intends to use the net proceeds from this transaction to reduce outstanding debt.

As previously reported, the original agreement between ENGlobal and Steele provided for the sale of substantially all of the assets of both divisions of its Field Solutions segment, Land and Right of Way, and Inspection. However, the Inspection division was not sold as part of the final transaction, and ENGlobal will retain the Tulsa-based business for the foreseeable future. The Company expects no changes to the personnel of its Inspection operation as a result of this transaction.
