As part of the merger transaction, the Safeguard Technology International, Inc., shareholders will receive shares of SGT Ventures in exchange for their Safeguard Technology shares. Safeguard Technology's current management will take equivalent Board and executive positions in which will continue to operate through its wholly owned subsidiaries, including Moore Protection Inc.

With the completion of this transaction, CorpHQ, Inc., has successfully launched its portfolio company and furthered its business of finding, funding and advising small companies on the path to becoming publicly traded entities. A homegrown CorpHQ portfolio company, Safeguard has grown from concept to public listing, establishing itself as a leading provider of next-generation electronic security systems for the high-end residential market in Southern California.

CorpHQ CEO Steve Crane commented: 'Safeguard began as a concept -- a great idea, a needed service, a good marketing strategy, breakthrough technology and a growing market. By providing strategic direction, operational support and access to capital we helped Safeguard transform that visionary idea into a thriving business and, today, into a publicly listed company with a very bright future. This is a true validation of our ability to drive the growth of emerging companies and a testament to our team's talent and hard work. We are thrilled for SGT Ventures and look forward to sharing in their great success in the future.'

SGT Ventures President Robert Perea said: 'We would like to thank CorpHQ for their intense effort, commitment and vision in shepherding our company through its formative stages. Becoming a standalone public company is a huge accomplishment and we are ecstatic to have grown to this level, but we believe this is only the beginning. We are rapidly increasing market share in a highly lucrative industry and working to expand our reach via a very smart growth-by-acquisition strategy. As a publicly traded company, we are perfectly positioned to maximize the exceptional growth opportunities we see before us.'
