Avante Announces Internal Corporate Reorganization and Plans for Further Reorganization of Business Operations

TORONTO, April 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Avante Logixx Inc. XX ("Avante" or the "Company") today announced plans to implement a new enterprise structure that will align the organization of the Company's business operations with its core growth strategies. Under the new design, Avante's businesses will be organized and managed by strategic business units structured principally by operating categories rather than by brand groups. It is intended that each division will have meaningful scale, a clearly defined portfolio role and targets for growth that are tied to its role in the enterprise and the scope of its marketplace opportunities. The Company's management structure will be simplified and streamlined.

"The adoption of our new enterprise structure will be an important step for Avante," said Craig Campbell, Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Campbell continued, "this reorganization will help unlock the value and growth potential of our businesses. It will drive focused investment on our largest growth opportunities. It is the logical next step in our effort to shift our company's center of gravity, accelerate our growth trajectory and maximize value for our shareholders."

The Company will soon announce appointments of the executives who will lead the new divisions, each of whom will report directly to Mr. Campbell. In the coming months, Mr. Campbell and other members of his leadership team will develop specific plans for organizing the new divisions and for appointments to key leadership roles. In coordination with this process, work will also proceed on a reorganization of corporate functions to deliver agile and effective support to the business divisions, and redesign the Company's cost structure.

In line with the foregoing, the Company announced today the amalgamation of two of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Avante Security Inc. and INTO-Electronics Inc., into one wholly-owned subsidiary known as ‘Avante Security Inc.' effective April 1, 2018, thereby integrating those two businesses and allowing Avante to take advantage of cost synergies. In conjunction with the corporate reorganization, the Company also announced that effective today Rodney Wechsler has decided to leave the Company to pursue other opportunities and therefore no longer acts as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr. Wechsler however will be available to management over the next thirty days to ensure a seamless transition. By virtue of the amalgamation noted above, Mr. Wechsler also no longer serves as director or officer of INTO-Electronics Inc.
