Proxim Wireless Exploring Strategic Alternatives for Its Harmonix Division
Silicon Valley, CA - August 13, 2008 - Proxim Wireless Corporation (NASDAQ: PRXM), a leading provider of end-to-end broadband wireless systems that deliver the quadruple play, today announced that it has retained Heatherfield Group, Inc. to explore a variety of possible strategic alternatives for the Harmonix Division of its Terabeam Corporation subsidiary. Proxim has received indications of interest from a number of interested parties. At this time, Proxim has selected a favored bidder and is currently in the due diligence and negotiation stage with that bidder. Proxim currently believes that a sale of the Harmonix Division potentially could be accomplished by September 26, 2008.
The two primary product lines of the Harmonix Division are millimeter wave systems, sub-systems, and components for military and non-military governmental and other customers and Gigalink® 60 GHz and 70-80 GHz radios. Proxim believes the components business of the Harmonix Division is not core to Proxim's primary business. Proxim expects that any strategic transaction involving the Harmonix Division would include an ongoing relationship with Proxim for the continued supply and support of the Gigalink radios.
The alternatives being explored have included the acquisition of the Harmonix Division, an investment in the Harmonix Division, strategic relationships with the Harmonix Division, sale of some or all of the assets of the Harmonix Division, and a number of other possible alternatives.
There can be no assurance whatsoever that any transaction or other corporate action regarding the Harmonix Division will result from this exploration of alternatives. Further, there can be no assurance whatsoever concerning the type, form, structure, nature, results, timing, or terms and conditions of any such potential action, even if such an action does result from this exploration. There can be no assurance whatsoever whether a transaction with the current favored bidder will ultimately be completed or the terms or timing of any such transaction. The company does not intend to make any additional comments regarding this matter unless and until a definitive transaction agreement has been reached, the exploration of alternatives has been terminated, or there are other definitive developments warranting further disclosure.
