SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - 07/28/09) - Metatron Inc. (Pinksheets:MRNJ - News), today announced that it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with the shareholders of i-Mobilize Inc., a Delaware corporation, to acquire 100% of the outstanding common stock and make i-Mobilize a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The acquisition is expected to close within 20 business days and is subject to due diligence review. Terms were not disclosed.
i-Mobilize's mission is to be a leading global provider and developer of mobile applications for the iPhone, Palm's new Pre, BlackBerry, T-Mobile's G1 and other mobile devices. Strategy Analytics claims the mobile content market will reach $67 billion in 2009, up 18% from 2008.
Currently, i-Mobilize has two official mobile applications under review at Apple which management expects to be on Apple's store very soon. Once the first applications are approved, i-Mobilize has another five to ten applications to submit for review. In addition, the Company expects to acquire and move several individually owned applications under the i-Mobilize, and thus the Metatron, umbrella.
Commenting on the potential acquisition, Joe Riehl, CEO of Metatron, stated, "It has always been our strategy from day one to bring our partner companies into the Metatron family. With the surge of the mobile application market, we felt that i-Mobilize was the logical first choice. Its developers have been working diligently to bring quality applications to the Apple store and have a significant development pipeline. We are confident that with our marketing capabilities, we can reach our target markets with not only these apps, but others that we could have the chance to acquire in the future. The acquisition would definitely be in keeping with our overall strategic monetization business model.
"We also want to make clear that the company was approved by Apple as a seller within 30 days, far shorter than most companies. That is a timeframe normally reserved for individuals. However, it is not only immediate sales of applications that i-Mobilize can bring to our Company, but also the synergy with our other current and potential businesses. We are extremely pleased that the shareholders have agreed in principle to be part of our team moving forward."
