Making a Big Difference, Five Pounds at a Time: Luxury Link Partners with Pack for a Purpose®

LOS ANGELES, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Luxury Link (http://www.luxurylink.com), the leading luxury travel website, has partnered with non profit organization Pack for a Purpose to encourage travelers visiting places such as St. Lucia or Nicaragua to reserve five pounds of space in their luggage for items needed in schools and clinics near their destination.

As the non-profit's only luxury travel partner, Luxury Link is working with its hotel partners in destinations from Africa to Asia and the Caribbean to South America to promote the program and encourage travelers to set aside a few non-essential items in their luggage and use the space for needed medical, school or anti-poaching supplies. The hotels facilitate the donations by delivering the supplies directly to the organization or arranging for the guest to visit the donation location.

"Leaving one pair of shoes at home lets you bring 150 pencils or four solar calculators," said Pack for a Purpose founder, Rebecca Rothney. "Five pounds equals a stethoscope, a blood pressure cuff and 500 band-aids; or five deflated soccer balls with an inflation device; or 400 pencils. Five pounds can make a big impact to a community."

Beginning May 17, Luxury Link will launch a series of 40 special travel auctions with a portion of the proceeds donated to Pack for a Purpose. There will be 10 special travel auctions per week, two per weekday with each auction running five days. Travelers can snag vacations to five-star properties around the world while saving up to 65 percent off published rates. The promotion culminates with a sweepstakes in July.

"Anyone and everyone can do it. Taking much needed supplies to a destination makes travel even more meaningful," said Diane McDavitt, Luxury Link Travel Group's president and co-founder.

In 2002, Rothney visited Botswana with requested school supplies to donate to the local community. This sparked her idea for the non-profit organization Pack for a Purpose which has now delivered more than 4,700 pounds of items worldwide.

Lifescript Launches New Online Pain Management Health Center

Pain Management Health Center contains dozens of pain articles written by medical experts and aims to be a one-stop resource for millions of Americans who suffer from chronic pain.

MISSION VIEJO, Calif., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new online Pain Management Health Center designed to help women treat and reduce chronic pain has recently launched on Lifescript.com, a women's health and wellness website headquartered in Mission Viejo, Calif.

"About 50 million Americans suffer from chronic pain," says Edward Geehr, M.D., Lifescript Chief Medical Officer. "An additional 25 million Americans suffer from acute pain caused by an accident or surgery. Chronic pain is considered a disease; one that costs the U.S. an estimated $100 billion annually in lost income and productivity."

The most common type of chronic pain is an aching back, but other common pain conditions for women are osteoarthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome, endometriosis and fibromyalgia.

"The Pain Management Health Center helps shine a light on the best methods for managing pain and how to identify the cause, not just treat symptoms," Geehr says. "For example, could the pain be related to nerve injury, diabetes, or osteoarthritis? These are just a few of the causes addressed."

The health center's dozens of pain articles are written by medical experts and reviewed by top physicians. They cover key risk factors and how to treat different points of pain - including back pain, musculoskeletal pain, knee pain and more. "If you're looking for expert pain help - you'll find it here. Our readers want the best treatments, natural pain remedies, and exercise routines to help ease symptoms," says Laurie Berger, Lifescript Editor-in-Chief. The Pain Management Health Center features Q&As with leading experts, as well as pain resources, related conditions, alternative therapies, top procedures, medications, and more. It's one of 65 patient health centers already launched on the site, with 70 more condition-specific centers scheduled for release by the end of 2012.

ABOUT LIFESCRIPT: One of the fastest-growing online healthy living publishers, Lifescript.com (http://www.lifescript.com/) attracts 6.3 million unique visitors monthly and is the only site focusing exclusively on women's health. More than seven million readers also subscribe to its six daily email newsletters. The company has offices in Mission Viejo and Beverly Hills, Calif., and in New York City.

Duarte Design Launches Diagrammer to Market Powerful Slide Designs for Business Presenters

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Duarte, Inc., a presentation communication agency, today launches Diagrammer(TM) (http://www.diagrammer.com) an online resource that provides sophisticated but low-cost slide diagrams to businesspeople and other communicators who seek to create powerful and memorable presentations.

Diagrammer is a library of 4,000 slide diagrams comprising all of the essential concepts and relationships common to business and professional communication. But it is more than a database of images. Diagrammer is a unique visual taxonomy that enables communicators to understand their ideas in a more nuanced and accurate way, and guides them to find more evocative and harder-hitting means of conveying their messages.

Business executives, thought-leaders, government employees, teachers, and communicators of all types have come to rely on popular software tools such as Microsoft PowerPoint® and Apple Keynote® to create slide presentations. Most communicators, however, have little or no professional design background, and consequently repeat common design errors that result in unclear, inaccurate, or merely forgettable slides, weakening their presentations.

Among the most common design mistakes, for example, are the overuse of text and bullet points, resulting in wordy, hard-to-understand slides. 

"If there are several words on a slide, they are related in some way. If you can show the specific nature of that relationship or connection in your slide design your idea will be clearer and stronger," said Nancy Duarte, CEO of Duarte, Inc. "Diagrammer shows presenters how to think about their concepts in a more specific and evocative manner, and gives them the correct slide graphics to express it."

For more than 20 years, Duarte has helped create hundreds of thousands of presentations for many of the world's best-known brands and thought-leaders. Clients include Avaya, Cisco, Food Network, GE, Google, HP, Qualcomm and The World Bank.

To create Diagrammer, Duarte sorted through years of her designers' sketchbooks. This search revealed patterns of diagrammatic communication, classified by a set of categories that no one else had identified.  Virtually all business concepts fell within these categories, among them such ideas as SEGMENT, FLOW, JOIN, STACK and NETWORK.   Diagrammer's thousands of slide design options fall under these general categories.

Diagrammer makes it easy to find and download the best slides quickly. For example, if two departments or products were merged in a corporate restructuring, a presenter could search the Diagrammer category called JOINED. Within this category, he/she could find slide designs to convey additional specificity, such as OVERLAP - in varying degrees and styles.

Diagrammer's visual taxonomy walks customers through the design thought process to quickly locate the optimal slides within the general categories--and to gain better understanding and insight into their own presentations.  Each Diagrammer slide can be immediately downloaded as a PowerPoint for 99 cents from Diagrammer.com. Visit the site to see how Diagrammer can help businesspeople and other professionals improve their presentations with more visually powerful, more informative slides.

About Diagrammer(TM)
Diagrammer(TM) is an online store that provides sophisticated, low-cost slide diagrams to businesspeople and communicators who seek to create powerful and memorable presentations.  It was developed by Duarte, Inc., a presentation communication firm based in Mountain View, California, that has worked on hundreds of thousands of presentations for many of the world's best-known brands and thought leaders.

guardians of family finances and day-to-day expenditure, so they have some great insights
into where the savings can be made. We hope that this initiative will provide inspiration
for anyone who is looking to put a little bit of money aside each week, whether it's for a
rainy day or to invest in one of our products."

    The competition is open to anyone who submits a tip or story to the competition page
on the Britmums website, and two entrants will be randomly chosen to receive the GBP500
prizes.

Verizon Wireless plans to more than double the number of its 4G LTE markets, bringing the total markets to more than 400, by the end of the year.  With the additional new markets and continued expansions, the company's 4G LTE network will cover more than 260 million people in the United States by the end of 2012.

"Our plans to double our 4G LTE network coverage from the end of 2011 to the end of 2012 align with the aggressive and rapid deployment strategy we have taken with our 4G LTE network," said David Small, chief technical officer of Verizon Wireless.  "Our commitment to expanding and enhancing our 4G LTE network is enabling more customers across the country to enjoy the benefits of the most popular wireless devices.  We will continue investing in our 4G LTE network and working with key partners to ensure our customers have access to the best products and services available."

On Thursday, March 15, the company will introduce its 4G LTE network in Dothan and Enterprise, Ala.; Naples, Fla.; Greenville, N.C.; Altus and Durant, Okla.; and Longview/Marshall, Texas.  The company will also expand its 4G LTE network in Washington, D.C.; Elkhart, Ind.; Baltimore, Md.; Columbus, Miss.; Northern N.J.; Wilmington, N.C.; Duncan, Okla.; Allentown/Bethlehem, Harrisburg, Philadelphia and Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Pa.; Hilton Head, S.C.; Cleveland, Tenn.; Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; and Kenosha, Madison and Milwaukee, Wis.

In real-world, fully loaded network environments, 4G LTE users should experience average data rates of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) on the downlink and 2 to 5 Mbps on the uplink.  When customers travel outside of 4G LTE coverage areas, devices automatically connect to Verizon Wireless' 3G network, enabling customers to stay connected from coast to coast.  Verizon Wireless' 3G network is the most reliable high-speed data network in the country and allows customers in 3G coverage areas who purchase 4G LTE devices today to take advantage of 4G LTE speeds when the faster network becomes available in their area or when they travel to areas already covered by 4G LTE.

Let FindTheBest Help You Select the Right Test Prep Course

In the Overwhelming Process of Preparing for Standardized Tests, FindTheBest's Test Prep Course Comparison Can Ease Your Angst

SANTA BARBARA, Calif., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --Every high school junior, nervously anticipating the SAT, dreams of attaining that elusive perfect score. And for those who've set their sights on graduate school, the anxiety does not dissipate; the same adolescent exasperation returns as college students prepare for the GRE or the GMAT. Fortunately, test prep companies specialize in familiarizing students with test format and expectations, enabling test-takers to approach exams with confidence. Filter, sort, and compare programs on FindTheBest to find the best test prep.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120103/LA28987LOGO)

The pressure to gain admission to the best colleges burdens high school students. Amidst fierce competition, one of the easiest ways to augment an application is to improve standardized test scores through SAT prep or ACT prep programs. Similarly, as students strive for admission to the best law schools or the best business schools, LSATprep and GMAT prep programs equip applicants with the tools to succeed.

When approaching test prep options, there are several factors to consider. First, determine an appropriate price range. With courses ranging from $40 to over $1,000, there is a broad spectrum of choices. Look at this figure in the context of total instruction hours, from 3 to 180, to find the best price per hour. Next, filter by class category: on-site, hybrid, online, or software. In making this decision, think of the learning environment in which you thrive. Will you have the motivation to stick with online SAT prep or is a private ACT course the better option? If you will be taking an on-site course, refine by private, small group, or standard class size.

After narrowing the options, consumers can compare up to 10 different test prep courses. Struggling with Kaplan vs. Princeton Review? Compare their programs side-by-side for a thorough review of their classes, or check out FindTheBest's Test Prep Companies comparison. Once you've found the perfect prep program, the sign-up page link will direct you to a page where you can enroll.

Aircraft Interiors Expo Conference Highlights How the Passenger Experience Will Evolve

HAMBURG, Germany, March 14, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    "You can't research the future," says Jeremy White, Head of Transport at design and
innovation consultancy Seymourpowell. "But you can research emergent behaviour. If you
watch carefully you can begin to prepare for the consumers of tomorrow and predict their
expectations." Mr White will be kicking off Aircraft Interiors Expo's Cabin Innovation &
Strategies for the Future Conference with insights into some of the trends that will
influence tomorrow's passengers. The conference takes place on Monday 26 March at the
Hamburg Messe.

    A more personalised experience is on the cards for passengers, according to Raymond
Kollau, Founder and Trend Analyst at Airlinetrends.com [http://Airlinetrends.com ]. Mr
Kollau will be talking about what airlines can learn from other business sectors as well
as how the cabin experience is likely to evolve. "The combination of passengers wanting a
more tailored experience and the need for airlines to increase their ancillary revenues is
leading to a decline of traditional cabin classes - especially on short-haul flights. Air
New Zealand has already turned its short-haul aircraft into a single-class configuration
but offer four service options instead - ranging from the ability to take a bag into the
cabin to the 'full works' service complete with catering and inflight entertainment," he
says. "Furthermore airlines such as Emirates, British Airways and KLM have equipped their
flight attendants with digital devices to access the latest passenger information such as
food preferences and prior service issues, so they can offer a more customised service."

    Inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) is an area that is expected to be hotly
debated during the conference. Matthew Towers, Founder & CEO of IMS Research, will be
examining the future of traditional IFE systems during his session. He explains: "The
advent of wireless IFE is starting to revolutionise the way that airlines think about the
delivery of entertainment and other content of services to their passengers. This will
provide huge opportunities for suppliers to the industry, but it also threatens those
players who fail to react to the changing market dynamics."

    The conference is a joint event with World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo,
which is co-located with Aircraft Interiors Expo this year. For more information visit

Customization is a key feature of the portal tool, from content to logos, colors and text, librarians have full control of the Gateway look, as they are the ones that serve the community and know them best. Customers can give their Gateways any name, allowing them to tap into their current library branding if they choose, along with localizing their site with relevant community information.

Customized marketing materials, along with a new type of training/programming from Gale's Customer Education Specialists, will extend the Gateway brand deep within a library community. Library staff training, direct to the public training, as well as templates and tools, will help staff create their own relevant community workshops around Gateway themes.

Additionally, with our public APIs, developers can create custom applications."

Schools and universities often maintain elaborate, specialized networks to connect their staff to the many terabytes of research data and other digital assets they've compiled. Having a remote backup of that data is often a strict policy due to federal regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley and with EVS, IT departments can build applications that fit their institution's specific needs using easy-to-implement APIs.

Faculty and staff can safeguard files with IDrive's built-in private encryption key options, which allow subscribers to protect their data with a user-defined phrase, and with anytime/anywhere access to stored files via the web or mobile devices users are never left without their information at hand.

Some important features to note for students and teachers:

    --  Access documents and files from any PC, Mac, iOS or Android device
    --  Share files/folders with others, collaborate on presentations
    --  Files are always encrypted and private key encryption is available for
        maximum security

New App Available in the Fight Against Colon Cancer

The College of American Pathologists Partners with CollabRx to Provide Decision Support Tools to Patients

NORTHFIELD, Ill., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- No one wants to hear the words, "you have colon cancer." For patients diagnosed with an advanced form of the disease, these words can be particularly devastating. The five-year survival rate can be a little as 6 percent. The top-of-mind question becomes, "Which treatment or clinical trial will work for me?"

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120314/DC69899LOGO-b)

That's why the College of American Pathologists (CAP) announced today its partnership with CollabRx to provide patients with late stage colon cancer access to cutting-edge information that could change their lives. Patients can now access the recently released Therapy Finder - Colorectal Cancer application (app) through the College's website and patient portal, MyBiopsy.org, to find personalized information on cancer therapies. Visitors to the sites also can access the CollabRx Therapy Finder apps for lung and skin cancer.

"With advances in genomics, we now have a greater understanding of the genetic profile of a patient's tumor and know that cancer is no longer a one size fits all disease," said Stanley J. Robboy, M.D., FCAP, president of the CAP and pathology professor and vice chair for Faculty Affairs at Duke University in Durham, N.C. "Our partnership with CollabRx will put this valuable information into the hands of patients and hopefully lead to better patient outcomes."

Co-founded by Marty Tenenbaum, a survivor of metastatic melanoma, CollabRx marries information technology with the scientific expertise of the nation's top oncologists and pathologists, the physicians who diagnose cancer. Its initial products are Therapy Finder apps which are dynamically updated online resources that enable physicians and patients to identify diagnostic tests and clinical trials associated with therapies that "target" the unique genetic profiles of patients' tumors.

"We developed the apps so patients can seek optimal treatments, not based on their zip codes, but on the molecular zip codes of their tumors," said James M. Karis, chief executive officer of CollabRx. "We're honored to have the opportunity to tap into the scientific expertise and knowledge base offered by the CAP pathologist members and hope to partner with the College again as we develop new apps."

CollabRx apps allow users to input information about their disease- including the stage, treatment history, status of genetic mutations known to have implications for treatment, and sites of metastasis, if any. It then provides personalized therapy-related options, based on peer-reviewed medical and scientific content that may be of use to the patient and physician, such as identification of potential drugs, diagnostics, and clinical trials that may be useful in the specific form of colorectal cancer selected.

"Cancer patients frequently have limited knowledge of the growing number of medical tests and therapies available and relevant to them," said Charles Roussel, chief executive officer for the CAP, whose life also has been touched by cancer. "Our collaboration with CollabRx helps us deliver on our mission to serve patients and fosters greater communication between patients and physicians which is vital to successful treatment."

The app content is overseen by Editor-in-Chief George Lundberg, M.D., FCAP, a pathologist and former editor-in-chief of WebMD's online professional publications, Medscape and e-Medicine. A team of CollabRx scientists and independent cancer experts continually monitor the scientific literature to stay abreast of new developments in the field to keep the content up-to-date. The Therapy Finder - Colorectal Cancer app is overseen by Heinz-Josef Lenz, M.D., a professor in the Department of Medicine, associate director of Clinical Research, and co-director of the Center for Molecular Pathways and Drug Discovery at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.

"The Therapy Finder - Colorectal Cancer app is a novel and much needed educational resource that provides cancer patients and physicians access to complex and highly valuable information about how tumor genetics can be used to guide through clinical trials and treatment options. This is one of the first sites which uses a cutting-edge approach for biomarker driven chemotherapy," said Dr. Lenz, lead clinical advisor to the Therapy Finder - Colorectal Cancer app.

Dr. Lenz chairs an editorial board that includes, among other prominent clinician researchers, Wells Messersmith, M.D., co-leader of the Developmental Therapeutics Program at the University of Colorado Cancer Center.

"This online and freely accessible tool will support and enable patient empowerment, engagement, and participation in discussing and creating a personalized cancer treatment plan that leverages the unique aspects of a patient's medical history and tumor genetic profile whenever possible," adds Dr. Wells Messersmith, a clinical advisor to the Therapy Finder - Colorectal Cancer app.

Pathologists developed the CAP's award-winning patient portal, MyBiopsy.org, where the Therapy Finder apps are located. The site offers credible information and resources on more than 40 different cancers and cancer-related diseases - including colon, lung, and skin cancer- to help cancer patients and their loved ones better understand their diagnoses. Visitors to the site also can find tips on how to read a pathology report and stories from cancer survivors.

"Pathologists are gathering and interpreting molecular diagnostic information which has a significant clinical impact to patients and their oncologists," said Douglas Blayney, M.D., medical director, Stanford Cancer Institute, Stanford, Calif., member of CollabRx editorial advisory board, and former president of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO). "The partnership with the CAP demonstrates another example of the collaboration between pathologists and oncologists to empower patients with resources to make informed decisions about their health."

About CAP
The College of American Pathologists (CAP), celebrating 50 years as the gold standard in laboratory accreditation, is a medical society serving more than 18,000 physician members and the global laboratory community. It is the world's largest association composed exclusively of board-certified pathologists and is the worldwide leader in laboratory quality assurance.

DVDFab Embraces Windows 8 and DVDFab Media Player Plays ISO File Directly

BEIJING, March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Fengtao Software Inc., the leading multimedia software company that majors in DVD, Blu-ray copy and video converter, has now rolled out a new beta version with powerful copying, converting and burning toolkits -- DVDFab 8.1.6.5 Beta. This new beta version has made several significant improvements in its Blu-ray copy, DVD creator and Blu-ray creator.

DVDFab 8.1.6.5 Beta works perfectly on the re-imagined Windows 8, and more accurately on the Windows 8 Consumer Preview. It cannot deny the importance of supporting a new operating system, despite the fact that there was only one short statement covering this in the "What's new" list- this was really a remarkable advancement. As it has always done in the past, DVDFab stayed in sync with the latest technology.

In this new beta version, DVDFab added supports for ass/ssa, UTF-8 and unicode subtitle files in Video Converter, DVD Creator and Blu-ray Creator, which should meet the long-term demand on this feature.

Other notable changes and improvements:

Blu-ray Copy has made several improvements to help users copy Blu-ray more smoothly. It added support for new Java-based protection; improved main playlist detection for latest Blu-ray discs with fake playlists protection. In detail, DVDFab will select main playlist in "Main Movie" mode and, the main playlist can be retrieved in "Settings -> Info" window; fixed a freeze problem when copying to BD5/BD9 with GPU acceleration enabled in certain cases; fixed a bad quality video problem when using Lightning-Recoding in certain cases; fixed the bug of Blu-ray 3D backup disc which was not playable when using "Copy as Blu-ray 2D" and "Convert to Blu-ray SBS 3D" in certain cases; fixed a 504 error when copying Blu-ray 3D disc to BD5/BD9 using "Convert to Blu-ray SBS 3D" in certain cases.

    DVD Creator:             16:9 output will be selected
                             automatically when source file
                             is wider than 16:9 like 2.35:1.
    Blu-ray Creator:         Fixed the no-sound problem when
                             converting other audio stream
                             to AC3 audio.
Apart from above, Fengtao Software also issued a new beta product called DVDFab Media Player. It looked like the company was about to set foot on the media player field. To customers, it may not have been surprising at all, because the built-in video player in the copying, burning and converting toolkits had been running for years, therefore it was quite reasonable they made it a standalone product to extend its product line.

At the first glance of DVDFab Media Player, you may feel a sense of familiarity: Its frame looks very much like Windows Media Player. But, if you take a closer look, they have different layouts concerning operation panel. What distinguishes DVDFab Media Player from Windows Media Player or any other media players most is perhaps the fact that it plays movie folders, and even plays DVD/Blu-ray ISO image files directly. There is no need to mount the ISO file with a virtual drive first anymore. As it is known, it is hard to find such a media player on the internet. To try out the latest and truly impressive Beta version of DVDFab, please go to http://www.dvdfab.com/download.htm

Supporting Quotes:
"Social media can be instrumental in supporting a company's business objectives, but it must be approached strategically, analyzed carefully and properly optimized on an ongoing basis." said Mick MacComascaigh, research vice president for Gartner. "With social engagement comes a new level of unpredictability, especially for the largest global brands. Enterprises who select a highly scalable and elastic Web content management system will be well positioned to make the end-user experience more effective as they interact with their burgeoning communities."

"Extending customers and prospects the opportunity to engage online with their brand on a social level is a must-have for enterprises today, not a nice-to-have. At the same time, for Web properties faced with a growing social audience, scaling to support these conversations can be a daunting task," said Glenn Conradt, Vice President, Global Marketing and North America for CoreMedia. "Leveraging the power of advanced NoSQL technology, we created CoreMedia Elastic Social so enterprises no longer have to worry about the impact  social features can have on their website's performance or costs, and can instead focus on creating a transparent and authentic community around their brand and Web content."

VOXX International Corporation Completes Its Acquisition of Hirschmann Car Communication GmbH

Acquisition to be immediately accretive to cash flow and earnings per share; Company strengthens its global OEM presence and gains access to new technologies for worldwide automotive markets

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., March 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ: VOXX) announced today that it has completed its acquisition of Car Communication Holding GmbH and its worldwide subsidiaries ("Hirschmann") for a total purchase price of approximately $112 million (euro 85 million), plus related transaction fees, expenses and working capital adjustments.

In 2011, Hirschmann sales were approximately $199 million (euro 143 million), representing a 16% increase over the prior year.  Management believes, based on the Company's existing pipeline of booked business through 2016 and anticipated global market opportunities that Hirschmann sales will continue to increase in the coming year. 

On a consolidated basis, VOXX International believes that FY13 sales will exceed $900 million, with global automotive sales (aftermarket and OEM) representing approximately $475 - $500 million.  Additionally, the acquisition of Hirschmann is expected to be immediately accretive to cash flow and earnings per share ("EPS").   The Company estimates that with Hirschmann and through further synergies in its existing business and based on anticipated fluctuations in the Euro conversion rate, EBITDA for FY13 should be approximately $65-$70 million. 

Patrick Lavelle, President and CEO of VOXX International, stated, "This is another major milestone for our Company, as the addition of Hirschmann strengthens our global footprint and our OEM automotive offering.  Hirschmann is a pioneer in the industry and has been supplying automotive manufacturers for nearly 70 years.  Their technology is second to none and we believe, the addition of their antenna solutions and mobile tuners will lead to increased opportunities for our Company."

Hirschmann, headquartered in Neckartenzlingen, Germany, is a recognized tier-1 supplier of communications and infotainment solutions, primarily to the automotive industry, and counts among its global customers, Audi, BMW, DAF, Daimler, PSA, Renault, and Volkswagen Group, among others. The Company delivers technologically advanced automotive antenna systems and automotive digital TV tuner systems and is recognized throughout the industry for its commitment to innovation, having developed the world's first analog to digital tuner and the first digital TV tuner for the Chinese market.  Hirschmann holds more than 65 registered patents and has more than 100 patent filings which are currently pending. 

Ludwig Geis, Chief Executive Officer of Hirschmann, stated, "The entire Hirschmann team is very excited to become part of the VOXX International family and we look forward to working with them to further expand our global reach.  With car sales anticipated to rise over the coming years, and with new technologies being introduced into the global markets, we see significant opportunities to collaborate on technological development and potentially, to market our respective product offerings to both current and new customers.  We will continue to focus our efforts on R&D and driving innovation.  Every employee remains committed to ensuring 100% customer satisfaction."

Hirschmann's antenna business is primarily with automotive OEMs as well as with non-automotive and aftermarket customers.  The Company offers a comprehensive portfolio of active and passive antenna systems for light vehicles and commercial vehicles.  Its product portfolio consists of car roof antennas, mobile communication antennas, integrated antenna systems including film antennas and satellite antennas, as well as wireless local area network antenna solutions.  Hirschmann is currently developing a new line of "intelligent antennas", products that incorporate telematics modules and include digital signals preprocessing.  The Company is one of the leading suppliers in the European market and primarily sells products to German and European automotive OE manufacturers. 

The Company's Tuner Systems business unit develops and supplies innovative mobile receiving systems for on-board digital TV exclusively to automotive OEMs.  Hirschmann is the only company capable of supplying TV tuners for all digital TV standards worldwide.  Today, Hirschmann is the global market leader for automotive digital TV tuner systems with a large percentage of sales generated in the China market.  The Company holds numerous registered patents for tuner systems including hybrid tuner systems and for phase diversity.  Furthermore, remote desktops in mega-cities around the world allow Hirschmann to receive the actual TV broadcast at its engineering facility in Germany, where it can test and validate its tuner systems without being locally present.  With market-leading innovations and next-generation products in development, such as the automotive tuner box including radio functionality, Hirschmann is well positioned to meet customer demand and future customer expectations.

This transaction was financed through a combination of existing VOXX international cash and an amended and restated $205 million Senior Secured Credit Facility, which consists of a $130 million Revolving Credit Facility and a $75 million Term Loan.  The financing will be led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.  The combined assets of VOXX International and Hirschmann will secure the borrowings under the facility, which will also be used for general corporate purposes.  Management noted that this amended facility replaces the Asset-based Revolving Facility that was secured at the time of the Klipsch transaction.  Barring any additional acquisitions, the Company will be in a position to pay down its debt in full within the next five years.  Additionally, the restated facility has similar or more favorable terms.

Lavelle continued, "This acquisition is in line with our stated strategy to increase our global reach, enhance our product offering and expand our OEM automotive business.  It also provides us with high quality, manufacturing skillsets which enable us to stay ahead of the technology curve.  Hirschmann's relationships with German OEMs are strong and we see additional opportunities to expand their reach into the U.S. and China markets.  Additionally, Hirschmann has a substantial base of business already booked for the next few years.  We are highly confident that this acquisition will generate new opportunities for growth and profitability as we continue to drive towards generating sustainable returns for our shareholders."

John Shalam, Founder and Chairman of the Board, stated, "We had a vision and strategy in place several years ago, which I believed would generate strong shareholder value.   Our Company is much stronger operationally and financially today than in years past, and equally important, we are positioned for organic growth across global markets.  RCA, Terk, Oehlbach, Schwaiger, Invision, Jensen, Klipsch and Hirschmann, among the other companies and brands we've acquired, provide us with a significant global electronics and accessories offering, strong customer relationships and a growing automotive business which bodes well for our future.  I'm very proud of our accomplishments and believe the best is yet to come."

Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as exclusive financial advisor to the Company, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. provided the committed debt financing.  Levy, Stopol & Camelo served as legal counsel to VOXX International along with Norton Rose Germany LLP.
