(OTC: SYAI) (the "Company"), a premier provider of cloud computing and information technology solutions, announced today that the Company is in discussions with number of banks and mezzanine debt funds to provide capital to fund the Company's acquisitions. As announced a few weeks back, the Company is planning to acquire several companies with least dilution possible to its existing shareholders.
In August 2011, the Company had received a commitment letter from Bridge Bank. After exhaustive due diligence conducted by Bridge Bank of the Company, Bridge Bank had agreed to provide Systems America a secured $6 million asset-based line of credit and $2 million term loan to fund specific targeted companies. The Company is discussing similar debt facilities with several banks and mezzanine debt funds to raise over $20 million in financing.
