March 17, 2009

Butler International Inc. (OTCBB: BUTL.PK), an engineering services and staffing firm, announced it struck a deal to be acquired by a division of the Santa Barbara CA-based Select Family of Staffing companies. Separately, Global Employment Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: GEYH.OB) said it made a deal to sell its Temporary Placement Services Inc. division to Select, according to a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Terms of the Butler deal were not disclosed. Butler reported 2007 revenue of $312 million. Select said it had 2008 revenue of $1.5 billion. Select would acquire Temporary Placement Services for almost $2 million, according to the filing.
