PRESS RELEASE
Exhibit 99.3
Regional
Brands Inc. Partners with Private Equity Firm Lorraine Capital, LLC to Acquire B.R. Johnson
Regional Brands Inc. ("Regional";
OTC: RGBD) today announced that it has partnered with Lorraine Capital, LLC ("Lorraine") and members of senior management
of B.R. Johnson Inc. ("B.R. Johnson") to complete the acquisition of the operating business and assets of B.R. Johnson
on November 1, 2016 through a newly formed entity, B.R. Johnson, LLC (together with B.R. Johnson, "BRJ"). Senior management
of BRJ is expected to remain in their roles going forward and will continue to run the company.
BRJ is based in Syracuse,
NY and is a regional distributor and installer of high quality windows, doors, hardware and specialty products with a focus on
complex, commercial projects. BRJ has been in business since 1928 and meets Regional's acquisition requirements of being
a high quality, historically profitable business with a strong core position in its regional markets and the ability to grow.
Key elements of the transaction
include the following:
-
BRJ will be an operating subsidiary of Regional post-closing. Regional
will own 76.2% of BRJ's common equity post-closing, and Lorraine and members of senior management of BRJ will own 23.8% of
the common equity post-closing;
-
BRJ will continue to be headquartered in Syracuse and will operate
as an autonomous business managed by the current BRJ team with oversight of a management committee controlled by Lorraine. Lorraine
will also provide management, financial and reporting services to BRJ pursuant to a management services agreement in exchange for
a management fee based on BRJ's EBITDA;
-
Regional has issued and sold 894,393 shares of its common stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $12,074,305.50 in a private placement to finance the acquisition as well as potential future acquisitions;
-
Carl Grassi, current Chairman of law firm McDonald Hopkins LLC, has
joined Regional as Chairman of the Board and Fred DiSanto, Chairman and CEO of Ancora Advisors, LLC, has joined Regional as CEO.
Brian Hopkins, former Chairman and CEO of Regional, will remain on the Board of Directors, as will current director Jeff Anderson;
-
Regional's representatives on the management committee of BRJ
will be Mr. DiSanto and Louis Joseph. Mr. Joseph is the President & CEO of The Brewer-Garrett Company, a professional building
and engineering services company;
-
Subject to customary working capital adjustments, total consideration
for the acquisition of B.R. Johnson (including transaction fees and expenses) is approximately $16.0 million. The EBITDA multiple
based on BRJ's last twelve months income statement amounts to 5.2x. Regional will be providing $10.95 million in debt and
equity financing (consisting of $7.14 million in a senior subordinated term note and $3.81 million in preferred equity of BRJ),
with the remainder coming from bank financing, a seller's note and entities affiliated with Lorraine;
-
BRJ's year to date bookings through September 2016 are up 17.8%
versus September 2015. Bookings are a key measure of future revenues for BRJ.
"We are excited to
be part of the next phase of BRJ's growth", said Carl Grassi, Chairman of Regional. "We recognize the industry
expertise and high quality solutions that BRJ brings to its clients and we look forward to working to assist management and Lorraine
in continuing that strong tradition".
"I'm pleased
that Lorraine and senior management of BRJ have agreed to partner with us", said Fred DiSanto, CEO of Regional. "As
we move forward, we believe BRJ's focus on continuing to provide the best quality service to its customers and partners
while maintaining local control and ownership will serve the company well. We are enthusiastic about providing capital to make
their vision a reality".

ABERDEEN GROWS U.S. BUSINESS, COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF
ARTIO GLOBAL INVESTORS INC.
PHILADELPHIA, May 21, 2013 -
Aberdeen Asset Management PLC and its affiliates ("Aberdeen" or the "Group") are pleased to announce that they have completed the acquisition of Artio Global Investors Inc. ("Artio"), a U.S. publicly-listed asset manager, effective as of the close of business on May 21, 2013.
Aberdeen has paid consideration of $179.7 million, based on a price of $2.75 per share. This represents a premium of $46.3 million over Artio's unaudited net asset value as of March 31, 2013. Artio has no borrowings and its net assets as of March 31, 2013 included $112.4 million of cash and seed investments. As of May 17, 2013, Artio managed assets of approximately $10.6 billion.
This acquisition will expand Aberdeen's U.S. business, deepen its distribution network in the region and add to its existing fixed income capabilities. The transaction is consistent with Aberdeen's stated strategy to identify suitable, quality businesses to complement the Group's organic growth.
Artio managed a $9.2 billion fixed income business, including Total Return Bond and Global High Yield strategies, and a $1.4 billion international and global equities business which will be transitioned to Aberdeen's global equity investment process. Artio's Global High Yield and High Grade teams, including portfolio managers Greg Hopper and Don Quigley, will continue to manage the fixed income funds at Aberdeen. The international and global equity portfolios will be managed by Aberdeen's Global Equity team.
Aberdeen Asset Management Inc. will serve as the investment adviser to the former Artio Global Funds with Aberdeen Asset Managers Limited serving as sub-adviser to the international and global equity funds. The former Artio Global Funds will be rebranded "Aberdeen" as follows:
Former Fund Name
Aberdeen Fund Name
Artio Global High Income Fund
Aberdeen Global High Income Fund
Artio Total Return Bond Fund
Aberdeen Total Return Bond Fund
Artio International Equity Fund
Aberdeen Select International Equity Fund
Artio International Equity Fund II
Aberdeen Select International Equity Fund II
Artio Select Opportunities Fund Inc.
Aberdeen Global Select Opportunities Fund Inc.
The acquisition provides key benefits to Aberdeen:
·
adds significant scale to the Group's existing U.S. fixed income business and complements organic efforts to expand distribution in the U.S., a priority growth market for Aberdeen;
·
adds established global high yield and U.S. total return offerings to Aberdeen which will complement Aberdeen's existing fixed income expertise;
·
provides access to Artio's distribution channels with a deeper penetration of the U.S. intermediary market, particularly the broker dealer and registered investment adviser ("RIA") segments which may benefit Aberdeen's existing product range and
·
the transaction is expected to enhance earnings from the outset.
Commenting on the Artio Acquisition, Martin Gilbert, Chief Executive of Aberdeen Asset Management, said:
"This acquisition is in line with Aberdeen's strategy of undertaking infill acquisitions that will assist with growing our business organically. We believe this will benefit our North American business, a region we view as a key growth market for Aberdeen. We warmly welcome the high grade and high yield fixed income teams from Artio as they continue to manage the Aberdeen Total Return Bond Fund and Aberdeen Global High Income Fund and we particularly look forward to bringing our knowledge and experience of investing to the international and global equity fund shareholders, strategies in which Aberdeen has been investing in since our inception in 1983 and remain two of our most established asset classes".

SOLUTIA COMPLETES BUY OUT OF
MEXICAN JOINT VENTURE PARTNER
SOLE OWNERSHIP OF PUEBLA PLANT WILL HELP MEET INCREASING GLOBAL DEMAND FOR
SOLUTIA PVB INTERLAYERS USED IN AUTOMOTIVE AND ARCHITECTURAL APPLICATIONS
ST. LOUIS AND PUEBLA, MEXICO - MARCH 2, 2006 - Solutia Inc. (OTCBB: SOLUQ),
the world leader in the production and sale of polyvinyl butyral (PVB)
interlayers, today announced it has completed its purchase of Vitro Plan,
S.A. de C.V.'s 51 percent stake in Vitro Plan's joint venture with Solutia,
known as Quimica M, S.A. de C.V. As a result, Solutia is now the sole owner
of Quimica M. Additionally, Solutia and certain affiliates of Vitro Plan
have entered into agreements under which Solutia will supply those Vitro
Plan affiliates with their requirements for Saflex(R) and Vanceva(R) PVB
interlayer products. Both the purchase and supply agreements became
effective March 1.
With its buyout of Vitro Plan, Solutia is the sole owner and
operator of the Quimica M PVB interlayer plant in Puebla, Mexico. These
interlayers are used by major glass producers such as Vitro to make
laminated glass for use in automobiles and buildings.
"This acquisition reflects our commitment to meet the growing
global demand for our Saflex and Vanceva PVB interlayers. The Puebla plant
will now make PVB interlayers not only for Vitro Plan and other valued
Mexican customers, but also for our customers around the world", said Luc De
Temmerman, president of Solutia's Performance Products Division. "The Puebla
plant produces world-class products from a very competitive cost position.
Therefore, we have plans to invest in new capacity as well as additional
capabilities, which will enable us to begin manufacturing new products that
are on the leading edge of technological development".
Jeffry N. Quinn, chairman, president and CEO, added, "We are
relying on our Laminated Glazing Interlayers (LGI) business to generate
significant profitable revenue growth for Solutia, both now and well into
the future. This acquisition, in combination with the new PVB interlayer
plant we are building in Suzhou, China, demonstrates our ongoing commitment
to realizing this potential".
The Puebla plant operates state-of-the-art PVB interlayer
manufacturing lines using the same Solutia technology used at other Solutia
production sites. In addition to the Puebla plant, Solutia's LGI business
manufactures PVB interlayers at Ghent, Belgium; Sao Jose Dos Campos, Brazil;
Springfield, Mass., USA; and Trenton, Mich., USA. It also has a PVB
finishing center, distribution center and regional customer service center
in Singapore. The company's newest PVB interlayer plant, being constructed
in Suzhou, China, is scheduled to begin production in mid 2007.
In addition to being the world's largest producer and seller of PVB
interlayers, Solutia is the global leader in PVB innovation, quality and
reliability. When laminated between layers of glass, PVB interlayers greatly
enhance the performance characteristics of glass, providing benefits such as
2
security, solar protection, sound attenuation, safety and style. Laminated
glass made with Saflex PVB is used in applications for automobiles and
buildings. In addition to Saflex, Solutia manufactures Vanceva
high-performance interlayers, providing customers the world's most
innovative portfolio of laminated glass interlayers.

CELADON
GROUP ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION
OF
TRUCKLOAD
VAN ASSETS FROM WARRIOR XPRESS
INDIANAPOLIS
- Celadon Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CLDN) announced that on Wednesday, Feb. 28, 2007,
one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries purchased the truckload business and
certain tractors and trailers of Warrior Services Inc. d/b/a Warrior Xpress
("Warrior") for approximately $8.3 million. According to the seller's unaudited
financial statements, the Charles City, Virginia-based transportation company
generated approximately $20 million in gross revenue in 2006.
Steve
Russell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are delighted with
the Warrior acquisition and expect it to follow the pattern established in
our
acquisitions of Digby Truck Lines, CX Roberson and Highway Express during the
past few years. In those acquisitions, as in this one, our goals are to continue
to broaden our customer base with quality customers, add density in our primary
traffic lanes, and gain experienced drivers. In October 2006, Celadon acquired
certain assets of Digby Truck Lines.
"Based
on
our evaluation of the business, we believe Warrior had a core group of quality
customers and drivers, but suffered from the excessive cost structure that
plagues many mid-sized carriers. We expect to integrate the acquired operations
promptly. As part of the integration process, we expect to optimize the combined
customer, driver, and equipment base to improve asset productivity. We believe
we can enhance the service to Warrior's former customers through an upgraded
equipment fleet, excellent technology, more available assets for dispatch,
and
an outstanding safety record.
"At
Celadon, our driver turnover has been significantly better than the industry
average over the past few years, and we plan to work hard to retain the Warrior
drivers. In the short-term, the additional Warrior drivers will retain their
units until seated with newer equipment. We believe this strategy will allow
us
to focus on enhancing our freight mix, assist with driver retention and minimize
the risk of unseated tractors following the acquisition. We expect the acquired
operations to be accretive beginning in the June 2007 quarter".
Celadon
Group Inc. (www.celadongroup.com), through its subsidiaries, primarily provides
long-haul, full-truckload freight service across the United States, Canada
and
Mexico. The company also owns TruckersB2B Inc. (www.truckersb2b.com) which
provides cost savings to member fleets.
###
This
press release and statements made by Celadon in its stockholder reports and
public filings, as well as oral public statements by Celadon representatives,
may contain certain forward-looking information, usually identified by words
such as "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "projects", "expects", "plans,"
or similar expressions. These statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Celadon's
management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual
results may differ from those set forth in forward-looking statements. With
respect to the acquisition, the risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, the risk that integration of the acquired operation will not proceed
as planned; the risk that Celadon
will
lose key components of the acquired operation, including customers and drivers,
none of whom is bound to remain with the acquired operation; the risk that
Celadon will not be able to improve the profitability of the acquired operation
and operate it near the level of Celadon's profitability; the risk of receiving
less than expected for tractors and trailers expected to be disposed of and
recording a loss on disposal of such equipment; the risk of unknown liabilities
related to the acquired operation; the risk that acquired operations will not
be
accretive to earnings per share on the schedule or at all; and the risk that
integrating and managing the acquired operation will distract management from
other operations. With respect to general business operations, the following
factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from
those in forward-looking statements: excess tractor and trailer capacity in
the
trucking industry; decreased demand for our services or loss of one or more
of
our major customers; surplus inventories; recessionary economic cycles and
downturns in customers' business cycles; strikes, work slow downs, or work
stoppages at our facilities, or at customer, port, or other shipping related
facilities; our ability to execute our strategic plan; increases in compensation
for and difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified drivers and independent
contractors; increases in insurance premiums and deductible amounts; elevated
experience in the frequency or severity of claims relating to accident, cargo,
workers' compensation, health, and other matters; fluctuations in claims
expenses that result from high self-insured retention amounts and differences
between estimates used in establishing and adjusting claims reserves and actual
results over time; increases or rapid fluctuations in fuel prices, as well
as
fluctuations in hedging activities and surcharge collection, the volume and
terms of diesel purchase commitments, interest rates, fuel taxes, tolls, and
license and registration fees; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

inTEST Acquires Environmental Chamber Manufacturer
Acquisition Expands Presence in Non-Semiconductor Markets
CHERRY HILL, NJ, October 7, 2008 - inTEST Corporation (Nasdaq: INTT), an independent designer, manufacturer and marketer of semiconductor automatic test equipment (ATE) interface solutions and temperature management products, today announced its acquisition of privately-held Sigma Systems Corp.
Sigma Systems (http://www.sigmasystems.com), founded in 1956, is located in El Cajon, CA, and is a leading manufacturer of thermal platforms, custom configured environmental chambers and other environmental test solutions for a variety of industries including automotive, medical/pharmaceutical, electronic, aerospace/defense and semiconductor.
Robert E. Matthiessen, inTEST's President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "inTEST Corporation has been involved primarily in the semiconductor business from its inception. The once-robust growth in the semiconductor capital equipment industry has slowed considerably in recent years. Consequently we embarked on a strategy of pursuing business opportunities outside of the semiconductor industry and our vehicle for this endeavor has been our Temptronic Corporation subsidiary. Presently, approximately 10% to 15% of inTEST's net revenues come from non-semiconductor customers. Sigma Systems will be joining our Temperature Management product segment in a strategic fit with Temptronic that will greatly expand our product offerings outside the semiconductor market. Sigma System's products are highly complementary to our other Temperature Management products and will greatly facilitate inTEST's further penetration into non-semiconductor markets".
About inTEST Corporation
inTEST Corporation is an independent designer, manufacturer and marketer of ATE interface solutions and temperature management products, which are used by semiconductor manufacturers to perform final testing of integrated circuits (ICs) and wafers. The Company's high-performance products are designed to enable semiconductor manufacturers to improve the speed, reliability, efficiency and profitability of IC test processes. Specific products include positioner and docking hardware products, temperature management systems and customized interface solutions.

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release
Colombia Energy Resources, Inc. Announces
Acquisition of Herrera Mining Concession
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA. February 8, 2012 - Colombia Energy
Resources, Inc. (OTCBB: CERX.OB), (the "Company" or "CERX") is pleased to announce the acquisition of the
Herrera metallurgical coal mining concession.
CERX, through its wholly-owned Colombian subsidiary, Colombia Clean
Power SAS ("CCP"), completed its most recent metallurgical coal concession acquisition on February 3, 2012, purchasing
the concession from Dairo Ruben Herrera Perez and Ariel Salcedo Leal. Carlos Soto, President of CCP stated, "the acquisition
of this concession adjacent to our Ruku Mining Complex, which began production in December, 2011 and is now producing approximately
1,800 tpm, will result in more efficient access to Ruku's coal resources and ultimately, lower operating costs and improved
safety."
The purchased concession is approximately 17 hectares (42 acres)
in size and contains metallurgical coal resources similar in quality to Ruku. The concession's permit, FI7-081, entered the
construction or preoperative phase on February 3, 2012. Compensation for the property includes certain payments made at signing
of the agreement and upon governmental approval of the concession's transfer to CCP which is expected by May 30, 2012.
In addition, the Company is also announcing that CCP entered into
an operations agreement with Americana de Minerales de Exploracion S.A.S., the option holder of the "Boavita" concession
FFB-081. This agreement allows for the immediate start of mining operations on the Boavita property once INGEOMINAS, the Colombian
state mining authority, approves the recently submitted mining plan. This approval is expected by February 29, 2012. Management
believes that implementation of this agreement would likely result in increased coal production for CCP in 2012.

Columbus McKinnon Announces Sale of
American Lifts Business
AMHERST, N.Y., November 16, 2009 - Columbus McKinnon Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCO), a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of material handling products, today announced the sale of certain assets within its American Lifts business to Autoquip Corporation for $2.4 million in cash. The transaction closed on October 30,
2009.
Autoquip, based in Guthrie, Oklahoma, designs and manufactures high quality scissor lift tables, vertical ram lifts and dock levelers that will be complemented by the American Lifts brand of versatile engineered lift tables. Autoquip plans to move the manufacturing of the American Lifts products to its Guthrie facility and
Columbus McKinnon will close its Greensburg, Indiana, location and plans to sell the facility.
Timothy T. Tevens, President and Chief Executive Officer of Columbus McKinnon, commented, "American Lifts has a very strong brand in customized lift tables. Yet, as we rationalize operations and evaluate our product portfolio, it is clear that highly customized, distinctive application products, such as these lift tables are
not a good strategic fit with our line of material handling equipment".
The American Lifts business contributed approximately $7 million of revenue to Columbus McKinnon in the fiscal year that ended March 31, 2009. The Company expects to record a $0.8 million pretax gain on the transaction in its fiscal 2010 third quarter, which ends December 31, 2009.

FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
CURAXIS PHARMACEUTICAL CORP. ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF REVERSE MERGER WITH AUTO SEARCH CARS, INC.
Durham, NC - July 29, 2010 Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corp ("Curaxis") is pleased to announce the completion of its reverse merger (the "Merger") with Auto Search Cars, Inc. ("Auto Search") (OTCBB:ASCH). The effective date of the Merger is July 29, 2010.
In connection with the Merger, Auto Search is in the process of changing its name to Curaxis Pharmaceutical Corporation and expects the name change to be completed Friday, July 30
th
. In addition Auto Search will apply to FINRA to change its trading symbol, a process which is expected to be completed in three to six weeks. As a result of the Merger, the company will concentrate exclusively on clinical development of Curaxis' drug pipeline. In the near term, the company plans to concentrate exclusively on clinical development of its drug candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
In completing the Merger, Auto Search issued 64.2 million shares of its common stock to the holders of Curaxis common stock. Under the terms of the Merger, all but 8.7 million of those shares will be restricted from trading for a period of one year from the closing of the Merger. After the close of the Merger a total of 71.9 million shares of common stock will be outstanding. Southridge Business Solutions Group LLC assisted with the closing of the Merger.
Patrick S. Smith, CEO and President of Curaxis, said, "We feel that the Merger allows us to enter the public arena, and ideally positions us to move our candidate for treatment of Alzheimer's disease into our planned Phase 2b clinical trials in women with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease. Recent developments in Alzheimer's research, particularly the recent failures of other Alzheimer's candidates in Phase 3 trials, have added to the mounting evidence in support of our patented approach to treating Alzheimer's. In view of the limited effectiveness of currently-approved Alzhiemer's drugs, the encouraging data from our earlier Phase 2 trial in women, and the continued rapid growth of the Alzheimer's epidemic, we hope to bring a meaningful improvement to the treatment of this dread disease to market within the next few years".
About Curaxis
Curaxis is an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company with a hormone drug product candidate for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and multiple cancers. Curaxis' therapeutic platform is based on the hypothesis that many diseases of aging may be caused by age-related changes in the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The HPG axis is a hormonal endocrine feedback loop that controls development, reproduction and aging in animals. This drug development platform is built on the premise that hormones associated with this feedback loop are beneficial early in life, when they promote growth and development, but are harmful later in life when the mechanism for feedback is compromised, thereby leading to disease processes, including pathologies associated with Alzheimer's disease and various cancers. We believe our discovery of similar hormonal signaling mechanisms at the cellular level in brain tissue from Alzheimer's patients and in multiple tumors will enable us to develop significant new treatments for Alzheimer's disease as well as many cancers.
Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements
This press release includes certain "Forward-Looking Statements" within the meaning of section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements regarding potential results and future plans and objectives of Auto Search Cars, Inc. are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties.

PRESS RELEASE, DATED APRIL 11, 2011
Novint Technologies and ForceTek Enterprises Merge
ForceTek Brings Capital and Stunning New Exoskeleton Technology, Giving Motion Control a Sense of Touch
(Albuquerque, NM, April 11, 2011): Novint Technologies, Inc. (OTC Pink: NVNT) today announced the completion of Novint's merger with ForceTek Enterprises, LLC. Novint will be combining ForceTek's XIO exoskeleton controller with Novint's high fidelity 3D touch technology to create the world's first consumer 3D touch exoskeleton device. Users will wear the XIO exoskeleton on their arm, and XIO itself will create forces for games, such as the impact of a golf club against a golf ball in a full body swing, the recoil of a gun, or the impact of a sword striking a shield. It will create an immersive and realistic consumer experience that has never before been possible.
"The most exciting new area in the enormous videogame industry is motion control, such as Sony's Move, Nintendo's Wii, and Microsoft's Kinect. With each of these peripherals a user is able to control the game using his or her body rather than older style hand controllers. Those technologies do not allow a gamer to
feel
what is in the game. Much like our Falcon has already shown, the new combination of the XIO controller with high fidelity 3D touch will solve the issue of that critical missing piece, letting a user feel every immersive detail in a game with high-precision, lag-free control, in an exciting new form factor" said Tom Anderson, CEO. "The merger also brings us fresh working capital, cleans up our convertible debt and adds to our management capability. This is truly the marriage of two revolutionary technologies which will redefine gaming and many other fields".
"Novint's expertise in the 3D touch space was the perfect complement to our exoskeleton technology", said Ryan Christoff, President of ForceTek. "Beyond the synergy in the technology itself, the businesses and personalities were a perfect match".
Details of the merger may be seen on the company's 8K filing.
About Novint Technologies, Inc.
Novint (OTC Pink: NVNT) develops, markets, and licenses technology that adds high-fidelity interactive 3D touch to computing. For more information visit: www.novint.com.
This press release contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements." Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. Factors that may cause or contribute to such differences include fewer sales than expected, changes in industry conditions, litigation, and other risk factors identified in the Company's Form 10KSB filed with the SEC. The anticipated new product combining our 3D touch technology with the XIO exoskeleton controller is still under development, and therefore statements regarding its functionality are forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this press release.

Agile Announces
Acquisition of Cimmetry Systems
Broadens business
offering with purchase of leading collaborative visualization solutions provider
San Jose, CA-February 3, 2005-Agile Software Corporation (Nasdaq: AGIL), a leading provider of product lifecycle management solutions, today announced that it has acquired Cimmetry Systems, Incorporated of
Montreal, Canada for approximately $41.5 million in cash, subject to an adjustment based upon the closing balance sheet.
"Agile's acquisition of Cimmetry is a good strategic move and should be good for customers of both groups. Collaborative visualization is a critical PLM
infrastructure component, and Cimmetry is an industry technology leader in this area. This move shows Agile's continued commitment to building a comprehensive best-in-class PLM solution", said Ed Miller, CIMdata president.
"Collaborative visualization tools enable a much broader set of people both inside and beyond a company to drive critical product decisions based not just on textual information, but also on 2D and 3D visualizations of the product. By enabling
more users to participate in product decisions, solutions like Cimmetry's deliver significant value to companies focused on quality, time-to-market, and meeting the needs of their customers with innovative solutions".
According to a recent CIMData report, "As PLM solutions have grown in scope, and are
increasingly focused on providing enterprise support, visualization tools have become a critical component of more and more implementations. Like Web technology, which helps to disseminate information more effectively, visualization tools provide a
relatively simple, less expensive way of expanding the value of PLM to people in the enterprise who otherwise would probably not have convenient online access to product data. By enabling more users to become active more quickly, visualization tools
can provide a "jump start" in achieving early PLM benefits for an organization".
Founded in 1988, Cimmetry Systems is a leading provider of collaborative visualization solutions including AutoVue
™
, with well over 9,500 customers worldwide across several industries including manufacturing, electronics, architectural/engineering/construction (AEC)
and industrial markets. Specifically focused on enabling the use of 2D and 3D mechanical CAD (MCAD) and electronic design automation (EDA/ECAD) information across the extended enterprise. Cimmetry solutions support over 450 native formats including
AutoCAD, Cadence, CATIA, Inventor, Microsoft Office, MicroStation, Mentor, Pro/ENGINEER, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, UG NX and Zuken. Cimmetry solutions make rich, highly specialized design information available to both technical and non-engineering
users including stakeholders such as customers, product definition groups, engineering, purchasing, planning, suppliers, marketing, sales and service without the need for highly specialized, expensive CAD tools.
"In addition to the broad trend towards outsourced design and manufacturing, most new products include electronic
and mechanical content. Manufacturers want to ensure that their product record represents the complete product, which has become increasingly difficult because of issues around synchronizing data generated by proprietary MCAD and EDA
applications", said Bryan Stolle, Agile CEO. "Cimmetry is a leader in providing data format-agnostic collaborative visualization solutions, and their products have gained widespread acceptance across multiple industries as evidenced by
their broad customer base. We have been partnering with Cimmetry for a number of years to solve critical viewing and collaboration issues, and we are pleased to welcome them into the Agile fold".
"Agile is a world class PLM provider with which Cimmetry has had an excellent business
relationship over the years. Like Cimmetry, Agile is committed to several core business values: strong customer relationships, high customer satisfaction, fast time-to-value, and production-proven, best practice solutions that help customers produce
measurable business results", said Faycal Kahloun, Cimmetry president. "As part of Agile, Cimmetry customers will continue to have access to leading edge collaborative visualization technology with which they are familiar, and we look
forward to developing and delivering even more value in our AutoVue product line as we continue to lead this market".

Enterprise." This document is available for download on the CIMdata Web site at

Investor Information
Details of the acquisition, including the anticipated impact on Agile's future results, will be discussed in a conference call on
February 3, 2005 at 8:30am ET. A replay of the conference call will be available on Agile's website at
http://www.agile.com
under the "Investor Relations" section. You may access replays for ninety days after the call at
