Our leadership team is excited about the expanded opportunities for all of our employees through the combination with Sotera. Sotera's established expertise in cyber security, counterterrorism and C4ISR are a strong complement to our competencies and will allow us to offer even greater support to existing and future customers."

Terms of the deal were not disclosed and Sotera expects the transaction to close in September 2011. Houlihan Lokey served as the advisor to SPT on the transaction.
