(RTTNews.com) - Swiss security products maker Tyco International Ltd. ( TYC ) agreed Monday to sell its South Korean home security unit or ADT Korea, to private equity giant Carlyle Group LP ( CG ), in an all-cash deal valued at about $1.93 billion.

The deal, which is expected to close in the second quarter, is subject to customary closing conditions including required regulatory approval.

"We are pleased to announce the sale of ADT Korea in a transaction that provides value to our shareholders. While ADT Korea is healthy and profitable, this transaction represented a unique opportunity to realize the value generated in the business over time and redeploy it to further enhance our portfolio and maximize shareholder value," Tyco CEO George Oliver said.

The deal is billed as the largest private equity buyout deal in US dollar value in Korea since 2008. The deal also establishes Carlyle's long-term commitment to Korea since the establishment of Carlyle Korea in 1999. Carlyle has already invested more than $920 million of equity in 17 deals in Korea as of December 31, 2013.

The deal includes the sale of Tyco Fire & Security Services Korea Co. Ltd. and its subsidiaries ADT Caps Co., Ltd., Capstec Co., Ltd. and ADT Security Co., Ltd.

The South Korean home security unit, known as ADT Caps was established in 1971. The unit provides central monitoring services, access control, video surveillance, and other integrated security solutions. ADT Korea is expected to generate revenues of about $600 million and annual earnings contribution to Tyco of about $0.20 per share in fiscal 2014.

For the deal, Carlyle has secured committed debt financing from Korea Exchange Bank, Kookmin Bank, Industrial Bank of Korea, Korea Investment & Securities and UBS AG. Equity for the deal will come from Carlyle Asia Partners IV and Carlyle Partners VI.

Sanghyun Lee, Managing Director on the Carlyle Asia Buyout team, said, "ADT Korea is a highly stable and profitable business with attractive market positioning, strong brand power and excellent cash flow profile. We believe the Korean security services industry is under-penetrated, and growing awareness and needs for safety will anchor significant growth in the future."

South Korea is seen as a safe haven for investment by private equity giants as the investors can take full control of the assets, unlike in some other Asian markets where the bids could run into political opposition.

Rochester, New York (PRWEB) March 03, 2014

George Wasickanin whose career started with IBM in the 70's is the latest franchisee to open a House Doctors handyman and remodeling business. Wasickanin plans to bring professional handyman and remodeling services to homeowners in the Rochester, New York area as the Joint Center for Remodeling Activity again predicts double digit growth in Remodeling for 2014.

Wasickanins father had worked for IBM so it was an easy decision in 1979 to begin his career in computer maintenance with them. I worked on the Kodak Park account in Rochester till 1984. My training was amazing during that time, I attended many IBM training classes on everything from the infancy of telecommunications and disk technology to advanced computer systems. Wasickanin is not new to entrepreneurship or business ownership. He left IBM in 1985 to start his own computer maintenance business.At that company we maintained a competitive edge by offering first class customer service. I learned a lot at that time about satisfying customers needs and how, if you followed through on your promises, people would keep coming back. After selling that business Wasickanin returned to the Corporate world where he enjoyed additional success in Sales and Management roles but that entrepreneur bug was still in him. Wasickanin continued, I was working as a Systems Administrator with Crosman Corporation where I had built and maintained a network for 150 employees. However I was still exploring opportunities and when looking into the franchise world I came across House Doctors.

With his understanding of what it takes to offer good customer service and the expected continual growth in the home repairs and remodeling market, Wasickanin believed that House Doctors could fill a market void in the Rochester, New York area. Statistics show that this market is booming. There are good contractors out there but there are also lots of companies that let people down for one reason or another. What attracted me to House Doctors was the professional approach and high ethics they offer in this growing market." Wasickanin added, "Our goal is to provide both the best quality workmanship and the best customer experience for home owners.

About House Doctors: For more than 15 years, House Doctors, a 90-plus-unit professional handyman service, has brought commercial property owners and homeowners high standards of customer service, reliability, and quality workmanship. Every House Doctors handyman location is independently owned and operated. Today, House Doctors continues to expand throughout the United States by offering franchise opportunities.
