HERNDON, Va., Sept. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Command Security Corporation (NYSE American: MOC) (the “Company,” “Command Security”, “we” or “us”) today announced the signing of a definitive agreement with Prosegur Compañía de Seguridad, S.A. (Madrid Stock Exchange BME: PSG) (“Prosegur”) pursuant to which the Company will be acquired by Prosegur SIS (USA) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prosegur, for $2.85 in cash per share.

The transaction price represents a 50.0% premium to Command Security’s closing stock price as of Tuesday, September 18, 2018, and a 71.6% premium to the Company’s 3-month average closing price. Shareholders representing approximately 60.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares have agreed to support the proposed transaction. The Board of Directors believes this is an outstanding strategic opportunity for the Company and unanimously supports this transaction with a strong endorsement for shareholder approval, which requires the affirmative vote of holders of two-thirds of the Company’s outstanding shares.

It is a global leader in the private security sector, in which it has been active for more than 40 years. It offers high value-added services for a diverse customer base in 24 countries on five continents, with more than 175,000 employees.

Craig P. Coy, the Company’s CEO, said, “This is the perfect match for Command Security and a great deal for our shareholders. We believe that this merger will enable us to grow into new businesses, add broader capabilities, and deploy new resources to meet and expand our current base of business. Prosegur’s management philosophy, commitment to excellence and worldwide experience and innovation match seamlessly with our strategic goals. Our entire management and operations team are excited by this new opportunity and vision for the future.”

Prosegur Security Managing Director Javier Tabernero said, “We are excited to include Command Security in our operations. They have an impressive management team and high service quality.”
