Alpine 4 Holdings (ALPP) Announces its Acquisition of Thermal Dynamics International, Inc. that will Reside in the A4 Defense Systems, Inc. Holdings Portfolio

PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / April 28, 2021 / Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB:ALPP), a leading operator and owner of small market businesses, is pleased to announce that its holding subsidiary, A4 Defense Systems, Inc. (A4DS), has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Thermal Dynamics International, Inc. (TDII), a Fort Myers, Florida company. A4DS and TDII expect to meet closing conditions of the definitive purchase agreement by May 17, 2021. Similar to its prior acquisitions, the company will escrow Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds while working with the Small Business Association (SBA) and TDII's Bank regarding forgiveness of the PPP loan they provided to TDII. This will enable the transaction to continue moving forward seamlessly.

Thermal Dynamics International, Inc. is an international engineering, fabricator, and project management services company. TDII's primary client is the United States Federal Government, including the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of State (DOS). TDII specializes in managing complex project assets and infrastructure for its customers, including support services for the thermal engineering and design of US Embassies and Consulates worldwide.

Kent B. Wilson, CEO, had this to say, "The formation of A4 Defense Systems, Inc., was in response to the growing demand from our A4 Aerospace, Inc. holdings to have a bifurcated platform to extend our offerings to the growing needs of the US Federal Government and its allies. While TDII is a non-aerospace acquisition for us, it does put us firmly in bed with the US Federal Government. For the past 34 years, TDII has been a pillar of support for the Department of State and its complex embassy and consulate system worldwide. The company, on average, generates between $9 million and $13 million in annual sales. Further, with the addition of TDII, the Alpine 4 family of employees is now over 350 strong, and spans across 6 states that proudly build, design and manufacture in the USA. Over the next 18 months, the ALPP and TDII management teams will enact several capital purchases that will allow TDII to grow in excess of $50 million by the end of 2025. I hope all shareholders and employees will join me and welcome our new employees to the family!"
