Letter Of Intent

Signed By SPD

To Acquire Dyncorp Unit

SPD Technologies has announced the signing of a letter of intent for the acquisition of the ship repair division of Pac Ord, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Dyncorp.

In announcing the move, SPD president George M. Gordon said the addition of Pac Ord's five ser- vice and repair facilities will make

SPD the leading independent repair specialist of shipboard equipment in the U.S.

Pac Ord, which has facilities in

Seattle, Wash., San Diego, Calif.,

Portland, Ore., Jacksonville, Fla., and Norfolk, Va., has about 200 employees and annual sales of ap- proximately $12 million.

The unit provides repair and overhaul services for shipboard communications systems, weapons systems, air traffic control systems, sonar, radar and antenna systems, electronic warfare hardware and electrical equipment.

With the acquisition, SPD would be able to provide on-site repair and overhaul facilities at all primary

U.S. Navy homeports.

The Pac Ord transaction would mark SPD's second major acquisi- tion since becoming an independent operating company as a result of a management buyout from Gould

Inc. in 1987.

The transaction is expected to be consumated shortly, according to

Mr. Gordon.

SPD Technologies is an interna- tional leader in the design, develop- ment and manufacture of advanced electronically controlled electrical protection equipment for military applications and other harsh oper- ating environments. The company has service, repair and overhaul fa- cilities across the U.S. and serves military markets throughout the world.
