Acquisition of ADT by Apollo Global Management

In February 2016, Apollo Global Management acquired ADT for nearly $7 billion and intends to merge it with another home security firm, Protection 1. The purchase price represents a premium of approximately 56 percent over ADT’s closing share price on February 12, 2016 and, when combined with Protection 1, represents an aggregate transaction value of approximately $15 billion

ADT Authorized Dealers

ADT has an authorized dealer program. Under this program, independent dealers offer security system installations which are then monitored by ADT. Some ADT Authorized Dealers use similar DSC, Honeywell/Ademco products as installed by ADT, while other dealers utilize GE or ITI products.

Whether a customer purchases ADT monitoring services directly from ADT or through an authorized dealer, a monitoring contract is required.

Active Denial System

The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military, designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control.

The effects of this radio frequency on humans have been studied by the military for years, and much, but not all of the research has been published openly in peer-reviewed journals.
