Mitel Networks Corporation and Inter-Tel (Delaware) Incorporated (Nasdaq: INTL), today announced they have signed a definitive merger agreement whereby Mitel will acquire Inter-Tel, a full-service provider of business communications solutions for US$25.60 per Inter-Tel share in cash, representing a total purchase price of approximately US$723 million.
Once completed, the merger creates a market leader in the US and UK SMB IP communications industry, the fastest growing sector of the IP communications market. The private company will have two trusted, customer focused brands and anticipated revenues of over US$800 million, twice those of Mitel today.
