("DIRECTV"), the nation's leading satellite television service. Under the terms of the agreement, DIRECTV will acquire 100% of 180 Connect's outstanding common stock and exchangeable shares for $1.80 per share. Including the assumption of the Company's debt outstanding the implied enterprise value of the transaction is approximately $105 million. The transaction will provide DIRECTV with control over a significant portion of its installation and home service network and is expected to close third quarter 2008.

Based upon the unanimous recommendation of a special committee of the board comprised entirely of independent directors, the board of directors of 180 Connect has unanimously approved the merger agreement and has resolved to recommend that 180 Connect stockholders adopt the merger agreement and approve the acquisition. The Board of Directors of 180 Connect has received a fairness opinion from its financial advisor, William Blair & Company, L.L.C.

In a separate transaction, immediately following the acquisition of 180 Connect, UniTek USA, LLC ("UniTek") has agreed to acquire 100% of 180 Connect's cable services operating unit and certain DIRECTV installation services from DIRECTV, in exchange for UniTek's satellite installation services in New York, Burbank, California and Bloomington, California and cash.

"Over the years, 180 Connect has experienced significant growth and while the Company believes it has been successful in achieving many of its goals and positioning itself to become a dominant sector player, these efforts are not, in our opinion, being appropriately valued by the public markets. After carefully evaluating alternative strategies, we concluded that in the current and foreseeable market conditions, the sale of the Company represents a compelling opportunity to realize value for the shareholders of 180 Connect. We are very pleased to have found the right buyer for the Company and are confident that industry leading DIRECTV will take this business to the next level."
