West Corporation Completes Intrado Acquisition

West Corporation, a leading provider of outsourced communication solutions, today announced it has completed the acquisition of Intrado Inc. (Nasdaq: TRDO) after Intrado’s shareholders voted in favor of the transaction in a special shareholders meeting held earlier today. Pursuant to the purchase agreement signed on January 29, 2006, West paid $26.00 per Intrado share in cash.

Intrado is North America’s primary provider of 9-1-1 infrastructure systems and services, as well as innovative solutions for telecommunications providers and public safety organizations. Based in Longmont, Colorado, Intrado provides uninterrupted mission critical services to all major United States telecommunications providers.

Since it was founded in 1979, Intrado’s primary focus has been on improving the quality of 9-1-1 service delivery. Intrado’s many contributions to 9-1-1 include the introduction of new technology and processes that have driven 9-1-1 data and service quality to all time highs. The company helped to harden the 9-1-1 infrastructure resulting in greater system availability and security. It has also been at the forefront of developing new 9-1-1 services for emerging communications technologies like Voice over IP, working to ensure that anyone can call 9-1-1 from any device and get help. Most recently, Intrado began to deploy a new emergency communications services architecture for the 21st century, one that will support a whole host of new communications demands and technologies.

Intrado will operate as part of West’s Communications Services segment. Intrado co-founders, George Heinrichs and Stephen Meer, will continue in their roles as President and Chief Technical Officer of Intrado, respectively.

“The addition of Intrado’s 9-1-1 and other public safety services introduces a unique, new way to leverage West’s infrastructure, while offering additional cross selling opportunities,” stated Tom Barker, Chief Executive Officer of West Corp. “We expect to begin integration efforts immediately and look forward to realizing these benefits for our shareholders.”

“We are enthused about being part of West,” said Mr. Heinrichs. “Our expanded resources will enable Intrado to speed the delivery of innovative new products and provide enhanced services for our customers, partners and the general public.”
