Technology Connections Files Schedule 14C With SEC to Merge With
HouseRaising; Subject to SEC Review, Special Shareholders' Meeting Set for May
21 to Approve Merger, New Board and Name Change
CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Technology Connections, Inc.
(BULLETIN BOARD: TLGY) announced today that it has filed a Schedule 14C with
the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning its planned merger with
HouseRaising, Inc., based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Schedule 14C
details the merger, pro forma consolidated financials, the new Board of
Directors and the change of the company's name to HouseRaising, Inc.
A special shareholders' meeting is tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 21,
2004 to approve the merger, name change and the new board of directors, subject
to SEC review.
"Based on the audited financials, the merger results in an immediate increase
in net assets to more than $7 million, which is very positive news for
shareholders," said Bob McLemore, chief executive officer of HouseRaising.
He explained that HouseRaising provides shareholders an opportunity to take
part in a growth-oriented business that is changing the "old-way" residential
home design/build projects are conducted into well-organized regional
operations with Internet-based support and management processes.
"HouseRaising creates revenues both from selling, designing and building homes
for homebuyers through regional operations and from our Internet-based
design/build management process available online to buyers and builders
nationally," he said. "Initially, we will focus operations on completing the
Internet system and on regional companies in North and South Carolina. Later
this year and into 2005, we will expand sales through our programs provided on
the Internet and through regional design centers outside the Carolinas as we
aggressively broaden our market base. We will also grow through strategic
acquisitions."
He noted that the home building industry is enjoying record sales and has done
so for close to a decade. "While we believe the current 5% mortgage rates will
likely rise a percentage point during 2004, it is unlikely that rates will rise
above the 6% -- 7% target rate in the near future," McLemore said. "As
short-term rates rise with the pick up in the GDP, long-term rates, used to set
mortgage rates, may remain level or even dip lower. Whatever the outcome, we
believe home building in general should remain brisk through 2010. More
importantly for HouseRaising and our shareowners, the design/build segment of
our niche in the home building industry is less dependent on interest rates
than other sectors."
