Ubiquity Announces Plans to Acquire Monkeybars, Inc.(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) IRVINE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/17/14 -- Irvine-based Ubiquity Corp. (OTCQB: UBIQ) today announced that it has entered into a non-binding letter-of-intent to acquire Monkeybars, Inc., an online marketplace for musical artists to utilize social networking tools to increase their audience, sales and create new revenue streams. Under the terms of the LOI, Ubiquity will purchase all of the assets of Monkeybars. Consideration for the purchase will be restricted shares of Ubiquity common stock, having an aggregate value of $2,250,00, with the number of shares determined by the average share price over an mutually agreed upon time period. Chris Carmichael, CEO of Ubiquity, said that, "In an environment where digital content is being shared more freely and effortlessly across social networks, and where content producers are looking for ways to both increase their social share while still monetizing their content, Monkeybars is a powerful solution. It creates a direct social channel between the artist and the fan, literally turning the fans into the artists' street team, and rewarding them for it. We think that Monkeybars is an exciting strategic fit to our portfolio of social network and Web 3.0 services, enhanced substantially with the integration of our Sprocket technology." How Monkeybars Works Fans share the digital media across their social networks in the same way that they do today except that through Monkeybars, they can now earn a reward for their influence. The artist uses the money that they are accustomed to sharing with iTunes and Amazon to pay the people who matter the most, the fans. Monkeybars challenges the industry norm by allowing the community to earn a revenue share while allowing artists to make a living. Carmichael added that, "As Ubiquity moves to a Nasdaq listing, we believe that with increased access to capital and liquidity, our Company will be uniquely positioned to more efficiently assimilate and capitalize Ubiquity's business plan for Monkeybars as well as our other commercial opportunities and product offerings." The terms of the agreement and consummation of the contemplated transaction are subject to legal and confirmatory due diligence, board approval and the execution of definitive agreements satisfactory to both parties.
