Proceeds of the Notes offering were used in part to repay the Company's existing debt and along with the $45 million Revolving Credit Facility can be used for funding the future growth of the business. Founder and CEO Mike Shaw attributes Interface's successful introduction into the institutional investor market to the Company's exceptional performance since combining physical security with secured network services in a fully integrated IP based system. "With the support of SunTx, Interface was one of the first to embrace the convergence of physical and logical security in 2007, having developed the most comprehensive suite of technology enabled managed security solutions in the market. Our physical security solutions include alarm/event monitoring, interactive video surveillance, managed access control and fire/life safety systems. Our secured network services include secure managed broadband ("SMB"), payment card industry ("PCI (News - Alert)") compliance, managed digital voice and other ancillary services." Mr. Shaw continued, "What differentiates us in the market is an ability to deliver all our security solutions in a fully integrated and managed IP based bundle. The combination of physical security and secure network solutions onto a single IP based platform creates a compelling value proposition for our customers." "The strong execution of the Notes offering reflects the tremndous confidence of the investment community in Interface's value proposition. Today's announcement marks an important milestone for all parties involved, and Interface's successful introduction to the institutional investor base. SunTx has been an investor in and partner of ISS since 2001 and we look forward to the Company's continued success," said Craig Jennings, Partner and Chief Financial Officer of SunTx.
