HICKORY, NC, January 31, 2008—Andrew Corporation, the CommScope, Inc. subsidiary that is a global leader in communications systems and products, has completed the sale of its Satellite Communications business to Resilience Capital Partners, a Cleveland, Ohio-based private equity firm.

The former Andrew Satellite Communications business will be operated as a newly-formed, independent company called ASC Signal Corporation. The new company will continue operations from its current major facilities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and select regional locations around the globe. Its headquarters will be in Garner, North Carolina. In addition, Andrew will own a minority 17.9 percent share of ASC Signal and provide certain transition support services to the new company.

“We are excited and optimistic about the future of ASC Signal under the new Resilience ownership,” said Bassem Mansour, managing partner, Resilience Capital Partners. “From the onset, the transition will appear seamless and should minimize any risk of disruption to customers, suppliers and our employees.”

At closing, Andrew received $8.5 million in cash and a $2.5 million note from ASC Signal that will mature in 39 months. In addition, Andrew expects to receive an additional $2.5 million note upon completion of certain manufacturing asset transfers to an ASC Signal facility. The company also may receive up to an additional $25 million in cash after three years, based upon ASC Signal’s achievement of certain financial targets.
