LX Ventures Completes Acquisition of Mobio Technologies Inc.

 

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 17, 2013) - LX Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LXV) ("LXV" or the "Company") and Mobio Technologies Inc. ("Mobio") are pleased to announce that LXV has, through a wholly owned subsidiary, successfully closed the acquisition of Mobio. In consideration for the assets of Mobio, LXV has issued 2,000,000 common shares, all of which are subject to a statutory hold period and lock-up for a period of twenty-four months.

The completion of this acquisition marks a significant milestone in LX Ventures' high growth strategy of launching, acquiring and integrating early stage high growth technology companies poised for breakout in the AdTech, FinTech and HealthTech verticals. Mobio's flagship product, Mobio INsider, grows LXV's presence in the AdTech sector by allowing music stars such as pop sensations Ke$ha, Jacob Latimore and Cher Lloyd to accelerate their careers, create content requested and voted on by their top fans, and increase revenues from their social media platforms. As part of the INsider experience, the artist's fans can engage with brand partners to unlock fan directed content (artist pictures, videos, and answers) before their peers, creating new career supporting revenue.
"We are very excited about this acquisition, as Mobio's incentivized advertising technology solves a big problem of monetizing social streams and maximizing fan engagement," said Mike Edwards, CEO of LX Ventures. Clovis Najm, Founder and CEO of Mobio, said, "This acquisition broadens the skill sets of the Mobio team and provides an increased platform to ramp up the commercialization of our ground breaking technology that provides true engagement and monetization of social platform traffic."
