Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. Sells a Subsidiary

Thursday February 12, 6:13 am ET

NEW YORK-Hotel Outsource Management International, Inc. (HOMI, or the ?Company?), announced recently that it has sold one of its subsidiaries. On February 10, 2009, Remstone Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of HOMI Israel Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of HOMI, sold its interest in HOMI?s South African subsidiary to Clevo Corporation S.A., a Panama corporation. The purchase price was $205,000. The transaction is effective as of January 28, 2009.

Mr. Daniel Cohen, HOMI?s President, stated: "As part of our long term strategy of becoming an international full service mini-bar provider and manufacturer in key and focussed locations around the world, and after our subsidiary in South Africa already sold part of its business in 2008, we decided to dispose of the remainder of the business in South Africa, by selling that company. We are pleased with the price we received for the company, and intend to apply the proceeds, along with the approximately $1.4 million we recently received from our subscription rights offering and the conversion of certain shareholder loans, toward the implementation of HOMI?s long term strategic plan."
