Sanomedics International Holdings, Inc. (Pink Sheets:SIMH) has announced
that the company and South Ocean Growth Equity have executed an
agreement where South Ocean will become a 10% stakeholder in Sanomedics.
Going forward, both firms will be working closely together, exploring
domestic and international distribution opportunities for Sanomedics
products.
“Our involvement with Sanomedics will not be passive. We will be
interacting on a daily basis, and will take advantage of every
opportunity for growth.”
South Ocean Growth Equity is a specialty private investment and advisory
firm co-founded by John Sculley,(former CEO of Pepsi-Cola Company and
former CEO of Apple Computer), and Sean Heyniger (Co-founder of
Watermark Medical and former CEO of PDSHeart).
“The team at Sanomedics has made amazing strides over the last 12
months, and we feel the timing is perfect to join forces for rapid
expansion,” stated Sean Heyniger, Co-Founder of South Ocean Growth
Equity. “Our involvement with Sanomedics will not be passive. We will be
interacting on a daily basis, and will take advantage of every
opportunity for growth.”
“In our negotiations with South Ocean, we realized what an amazing
opportunity this represented to Sanomedics and our shareholder,” added
Keith Houlihan, CEO of Sanomedics. “Not only does this provide us an
ability to work with and learn from luminaries like John Sculley and
Sean Heyniger, but affords Sanomedics access to markets and resources
that may have taken us literally years to develop on our own. Our growth
pace will now be much more rapid, and together we are ready to take on
any challenge.”
Specific terms of the agreement will not be disclosed at the current
time, but may be disclosed in-part as required by future regulatory
filings. Both companies expect additional media announcements concerning
this relationship in the near future.
