Sierra Peaks Corporation of New Mexico Acquires IntriCon Tibbetts

IntriCon Corporation (NASDAQ: IIN), a designer, developer, manufacturer and distributor of miniature and micro-miniature body-worn devices, today announced that it has completed the previously announced divestiture of Camden, Maine-based, IntriCon Tibbetts and its associated security, certain microphone and receivers businesses. IntriCon sold the business to Sierra Peaks Corporation, an Albuquerque, New Mexico-based corporation. The sale of security, certain microphone and receivers businesses, which closed on January 27, 2014, marks the final milestone in the global strategic restructuring plan announced by the company in June 2013. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“The conclusion of our global strategic restructuring plan will allow us to accelerate the company's future growth by focusing our resources on the highest potential growth areas: medical biotelemetry and value hearing health,” said Mark S. Gorder, president and chief executive officer at IntriCon. “We are very pleased to have found excellent ownership to take over IntriCon Tibbetts and retain many of our skilled and dedicated employees.”

IntriCon had previously disclosed its plan to divest the securities, certain microphone and receivers businesses, and results of operations for the businesses have been reported in discontinued operations since the second quarter of 2013.

Said John Rockwell, President of Sierra Peaks Corporation, “Sierra Peaks Corporation is the established leader in designing, developing and manufacturing high-quality customized systems.
