Market Wire "US Press Releases "
RANCHO CUCAMONGA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/04/06 -- AquaCell Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: AQUA) has signed a letter of intent to acquire Citation Publishing, Inc. (www.citation.com) an industry leader in web hosted information technology. Under the terms of the agreement, AquaCell will acquire Citation for 21 million shares of AquaCell Technologies stock, which the parties have agreed to value at $1.00 per share. Citation's President Kevin Spence will become AquaCell's President and Chief Financial Officer.
"Citation has developed a revolutionary platform that can be greatly expanded to serve a far-reaching diverse client base," said Kevin Spence, former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of US Filter, a Fortune 500 company. "Being acquired by AquaCell gives us the ability to access the public markets to facilitate more rapid growth and gain exposure in the marketplace."
Citation's proprietary information technology platform allows the company to create and maintain state-of-the-art content specific web portal products. Its flagship portal product is CyberRegs(TM), which provides subscribers with the single-most preeminent online compliance library of environmental, health, safety and transportation regulations in a user-friendly format.
Thousands of professionals have made CyberRegs(TM) their number one choice for regulatory compliance documentation. Subscribers to CyberRegs include business professionals from Fortune 500 companies, consulting firms and other organizations.
Citation is currently developing proprietary portals for various Standard Development Organizations and has teamed with such powerful brand names as Aspen Publishing and Essential Information Systems (ESS). In 2005, Citation entered into an agreement with Information Handling Services (I.H.S.), a NYSE traded company, to market its CyberRegs product.
During Mr. Spence's tenure with US Filter, annual revenues increased from approximately $25 million to nearly $4.5 billion before being acquired in 1999 by Vivendi S.A. Mr. Spence oversaw a series of public offerings in the equity markets, raising more than $500 million in equity and $1.5 billion in debt financing.
The acquisition is expected to be finalized by the end of the year subject to a waiver of a third-party's right of first refusal, which if invoked would provide AquaCell with a breakup fee.

21 million shares at $1 is $21million but 21million shares at .05 is only $1 million.
If you're acquiring a private company in stock you could really assign any arbitrary number to the stock. The question is, how much is the company they're acquiring worth. Common sense tells me they wouldn't take 21 million shares of a 2 cent stock for a 21 million dollar company...
