Investor Group Acquires Stake in Cellstar (Nasdaq: CLST)
Thursday February 23, 5:48 pm ET


INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Timothy S. Durham, and Henri Najem both of Indianapolis, and Pat O'Donnell of Chicago, have announced that they have accumulated over 5% of the outstanding stock of Cellstar Corporation (OTC Pink Sheets: CLST - News), a large cell phone distribution company located in Carrolton, Texas. Together the group owns 1,249,000 of shares.
ADVERTISEMENT


Durham is Chairman and CEO of Indianapolis based Obsidian Enterprises and has major investments in over 20 different companies around the world. Obsidian Enterprises is a publicly traded holding company headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana that invests in small and mid cap companies in basic industries such as manufacturing and transportation. Obsidian Enterprises, and its companies, can be found online at http://www.obsidianenterprises.com.

Najem is an individual investor and is the Proprietor of Bella Vita Restaurant on Geist Lake in Indianapolis, Indiana.

O'Donnell is retired from the UBS Investment Bank where he was the CIO and a member of its Management Board. He was at UBS (and its predecessors) from 1989 through 2003, where he served on various senior management and corporate governance bodies driving the operational and strategic direction of the firm. Over the last 2 years, he has been a private investor looking for under-priced small cap growth stocks.

"We believe that, as of late, the market value of Cellstar has been unreasonably depressed due to the Company's challenges in China. Nevertheless, their recent sale of their Asia Pacific division should pave the way for the company to begin growing and to return to profitability. They are in a growth industry, and we feel the company's share price is not reflective of the intrinsic value of the company," stated Durham.

Mr. O'Donnell added, "We hope to work with the company to return the company to its former glory, allowing it to be the preferred supplier of distribution and logistics services, as well as a premier workplace for its employees. These will be the first steps in leading to a superior return for its shareholders."

Durham and Najem most recently joined forces when they acquired a substantial stake in Brightpoint, announcing they had acquired over 5% of that company's stock in 2002.

CellStar and SmartVideo Sign Distribution Agreement
Thursday March 9, 2:00 pm ET 
CellStar to Market SmartVideo's Value-Added Mobile Television Service to Mobile Carriers, MVNOs and Retailers Across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean


COPPELL, Texas & ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 9, 2006--SmartVideo Technologies (OTCBB: SMVD.OB - News), today announced that it has signed a distribution agreement covering the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean with CellStar Corporation (OTC Pink Sheets: CLST - News), a leading distributor in the wireless communications industry.


Under the terms of the agreement, CellStar will distribute the SmartVideo Service to its cellular carrier partners and retailers throughout the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean. As part of its logistical service, CellStar will pre-program the SmartVideo application on qualified handsets on behalf of its carrier customers. This Agreement streamlines the process for many of the regional carriers and MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) carriers to deliver world-class content services, increase data service ARPU, and increase subscriber retention.

Commenting on this agreement, Robert Kaiser, Chairman of the Board and CEO for CellStar said, "We are extremely pleased to be working with SmartVideo, and we look forward to promoting the SmartVideo service and SmartVideo enabled products to our wide-reaching distribution channels. In today's mobile society people are looking for innovative ways to be entertained and obtain the information they desire in real time. So, what better way to facilitate this than through their mobile telephones, PDAs and pocket PCs. We are excited that we can make this exceptional service available to our carriers, network operators and retail customers."

Richard E. Bennett, Jr., CEO of SmartVideo stated, "SmartVideo has reached another major milestone with the signing of this distribution agreement with CellStar. Having our service marketed to mobile carriers, MVNOs and retailers across the country is truly a great step forward for us. We believe the SmartVideo service will benefit carriers, MVNOs and retailers as a result of subscribers buying more unlimited data plans, retailers generating more traffic in their brick and mortar locations and virtual stores. Handset, PDA and pocket PC manufactures will also have the opportunity to sell more product as consumers demand increasing numbers of SmartVideo enabled devices."
