Syniverse Completes Acquisition of WSI


TAMPA, Fla. – May 15, 2009 – Syniverse Technologies (NYSE: SVR), a leading provider of technology and business solutions for the global telecommunications industry, announced today that its acquisition of Wireless Solutions International (WSI) has been completed.

In addition to a cash payment funded from Syniverse’s existing cash balances, the company awarded 200,000 shares of common stock to WSI and five individuals – Adam Crane, Mark Daley, Dori Kemker, Robert Knight and Michelle Wilde. These five individuals, along with Martin Guilfoyle, the sole shareholder of WSI at the time of its acquisition, became employees of Syniverse, the company’s operating subsidiary, on the closing date. Each award of shares has been placed into escrow and will be disbursed in 32 months if certain employment conditions are met by the individuals listed above.

The independent members of the company’s Board of Directors approved the grant of these equity awards. This approval was given based on the employment inducement exemption provided under the corporate governance listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). As a result, the grants did not require approval by the company's shareholders, and this press release is being issued pursuant to applicable NYSE guidance. The independent members of the Board of Directors approved the equity awards at its meeting on March 17, 2009.
