As a result, the special meeting of MBAC stockholders to approve the proposed transaction has been cancelled and MBAC will seek an alternative business combination.
Mohsin Y. Meghji, the Chief Executive Officer of MBAC, said, "We are disappointed that recent changes in market conditions made it impossible to consummate our proposed merger, but Syniverse is a great company with a strong management team and we are confident that it has a very bright future."
