EQTE EQM Technologies and Energy Inc (CE)

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Apr 2, 2014) - Sullivan International Group, Inc. (Sullivan), San Diego's premier provider of environmental services, announced today the engagement of Roth Capital Partners, LLC as the investment banking firm, with Monarch Capital Group, LLC acting as a co-manager. The firm was engaged by EQM Technologies & Energy, Inc. (OTCQB: EQTE) (EQM) to explore financing opportunities for the potential merger of Sullivan and EQM.

As previously disclosed in January 2014, Sullivan entered into a memorandum of understanding (the "MOU") with EQM, based in Cincinnati, OH, a leading provider of environmental services to government and commercial sectors. The MOU, which is non-binding and subject to the satisfactory completion of a mutual due diligence review, provides that Sullivan and EQM will negotiate and enter into a merger agreement pursuant to which Sullivan would merge with and into a subsidiary of EQM. The obligations of the parties to complete the merger under the terms of the merger agreement would be subject to various conditions, including but not limited to a condition that EQM raise at least $10 million in net proceeds in a PIPE or public offering of its common stock.

"We are truly looking forward to supporting Roth Capital Partners and Monarch Capital Group as we progress in our efforts to merge with EQM and continue to see this as an excellent opportunity to expand our environmental and technology services business," said Steve Sullivan, Chief Executive Officer of Sullivan International Group.

For the trailing 12 months as of September 30, 2013, Sullivan and EQM generated approximately $100 million in combined revenues. In the merger, Sullivan's stockholders would receive approximately $2 million in cash and 16 million shares of EQM's common stock, which amounts may be adjusted based on the parties' due diligence review and EQM's expected debt level following the merger. Upon completion of the merger, Sullivan's CEO Steve Sullivan would become President and a director of EQM.

There can be no assurance that the parties will be able to complete the financing or the merger.
