Broadview Media Announces Acquisition of Utah Career College

Broadview Media Announces Acquisition of Utah Career College

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Broadview Media, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: BDVM) today announced the acquisition of C Square Educational Enterprises, which does business as Utah Career College, a privately owned, postsecondary institution that offers career vocational training programs.

"The acquisition of the Utah school can create a powerful new trade and educational force in Utah and the Twin Cities and can place Broadview in the forefront of postsecondary education in our markets," said Terry Myhre, Chairman and CEO of Broadview. "Broadview Media has long been in the video production industry for cable TV, corporate communications and education, marketing our video programs to the K-12 market."

The company noted that Utah Career College has Title IV accreditation, a key factor in obtaining student loans for the postsecondary market. "This feature can enable us to offer classes to adult students desiring to learn about the video media production business," Myhre said. "It is our goal to offer video production classes in the future. Providing educational programs for video production in a real-time, for-profit business apprenticeship environment is an exciting concept."

The acquisition of Utah Career College did not require a vote of Broadview shareholders, but was subject to a number of conditions, including receipt by Broadview of a fairness opinion from its investment banker, and approval of the acquisition by the audit committee and board of Broadview and by the board and shareholders of Utah Career College. The Company issued 5,000,000 shares of its common stock to purchase UCC from its current owners, which included Terry Myhre, the Company's CEO, who was a majority owner of UCC. As a result of this acquisition, Mr. Myhre now owns approximately 65% of Broadview Media, Inc., including previously acquired unexercised warrants.
