Remark Media Completes Acquisition of Banks.com, Inc.
Deal Marks Significant Step in Remark Media's Strategy to Build a Comprehensive Personal Finance Online Portfolio and User Community

NEW YORK, NY and ATLANTA, GA, Jun 28, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Remark Media, Inc. /quotes/zigman/7971518/quotes/nls/mark MARK +9.68% , a global digital media company, today announced that it has completed its acquisition of Banks.com, Inc. (otcqb:BNNX), a financial media company that owns and operates Banks.com, IRS.com, FileLater.com and MyStockFund.com.

With this acquisition, Remark Media will expand its online personal finance ecosystem that will serve as the go-to destination for users seeking actionable financial advice. The hub of this ecosystem is DimeSpring.com--currently in beta--which offers original content and an interactive platform for consumers to share experiences and interact with the world's leading financial experts.

"Currently there are no dynamic online personal finance communities that offer easy access to expert advice, actionable content and shared user experiences," said Carrie Ferman, CEO of Remark Media. "We plan to provide an entertaining and engaging one-stop-shop for extensive personal financial information. With the acquisition of Banks.com, we gain established brands from which to create a rich portfolio of sites that aim to simplify financial matters and help people make better informed decisions."

Currently, Banks.com, Inc.'s web properties provide users with finance-related content and services. The advertising-supported website, Banks.com offers access to financial news, interest-rate tables and financial calculators. Banks.com, Inc.'s other properties offer access to related financial services, including: online tax information and preparation assistance through IRS.com; online tax extensions through FileLater.com; and online brokerage services through MyStockFund.com.

Remark Media will redesign and integrate Banks.com, IRS.com and the other newly acquired sites with DimeSpring.com, providing a comprehensive suite of financial content, conversation and services for users. Plans include: shifting the Banks.com websites onto Remark Media's digital media platform; dramatically enhancing the content offerings and user experience; and adding new social features and interactive elements. The redesigned Banks.com sites, scheduled to launch in the fall, will offer new features including content recommendations and social tools, and newsletters that are personalized to individuals' particular needs. Additionally, they will incorporate responsive design that allows content to be optimized on all devices.

"We see tremendous opportunity in combining forces with Remark Media," said Dan O'Donnell, President and CEO of Banks.com. "It has a proven track record of taking great brands and applying top-notch technologies and know-how to create a more positive user experience and increased engagement."

O'Donnell and other members of Banks.com's leadership team will join Remark Media, bringing their years of experience in personal finance to help cultivate relationships and lend industry knowledge.

Shareholders of Banks.com will become shareholders of Remark Media, and Banks.com stock will cease to trade prior to the opening of trading on June 29, 2012.

BNNX Buyout-merger w/ Remark for shares & cash

Feb. 28, 2012, 8:29 a.m. EST

Remark Media Announces $4.25 Million Equity Financing & Merger Agreement

Atlanta, GA, Feb 28, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Remark Media, Inc. /quotes/zigman/7971518/quotes/nls/mark MARK -6.47% , a global digital media company, announced today it has received definitive agreements in connection with a private placement of equity for gross proceeds of $4.25 million. The financing was led by A.W.M. Special Situations Funds, and also includes a number of other accredited institutional investors.

"The completion of this financing allows Remark Media to continue scaling the Company's innovative social media-focused web publishing platform into additional verticals," said Carrie Ferman, Chief Executive Officer of Remark Media. "We are pleased to see this incremental vote of confidence from the investment community in Remark Media's growth strategy and new management team, and look forward to continuing to execute on this strategy."

The Company issued to investors common stock priced at $4.50 per share. Investors also received warrants to acquire shares of common stock at an exercise price of $7.19 per share, in the amount of 25% of the number of shares of common stock that the investors purchased. The Company issued a total of 944,777 shares of common stock and warrants to acquire an additional 236,194 shares.

Janney Montgomery Scott LLC acted as placement agent to Remark Media in connection with this transaction. The Company was represented by Stephen H. Lang of Berman Fink Van Horn P.C., with securities counsel Gerald L. Baxter of Greenberg Traurig, LLP.

The securities were offered and issued only to accredited investors in a private placement transaction under Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, the securities offered in this placement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or state securities laws, and cannot be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Remark Media has entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which the Company shall file a registration statement with the Securities & Exchange Commission registering all of the common stock sold in the offering. This press release does not constitute an offer or sale of the Company's securities.

Concurrent with the financing, Remark Media announced today the signing of a merger agreement with Banks.com, Inc. /quotes/zigman/8553954 BNNX +138.10% , pursuant to which Banks.com will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Remark Media . Banks.com is a leading financial services portal containing a unique breadth and depth of financial products and services.

"I am extremely excited about the future opportunities that come from combining our two companies," said Dan O'Donnell, Chief Executive Officer of Banks.com. "By marrying our portfolio of assets with Remark Media's technology and product know-how, we will significantly improve the user experience as well as the quality of our products and services."

Upon close, Remark Media will issue up to 702,784 shares of Common Stock to the shareholders of Banks.com, plus $300,000 in cash, as consideration for the merger.

These announcements follow last month's news that the Company has completed its name change from HSW International, Inc. and appointed a new executive management team. The name change to Remark Media signals a strategic shift in the Company's direction that includes the development of new proprietary owned websites and the expansion of its services business. The new executive management team will support this strategy and drive the Company towards the future.

BNX - Just an opinion, I think it would be better to do the R/S closer to the cut off date when more investors would come in for the tax season giving the pps a better chance of staying above $1.00 -

...the Company's continued listing is predicated on it effecting a reverse stock split of its common stock within a reasonable period of time, which the Exchange has determined to be no later than November 18, 2011

Any ideas why a single 206,000 plus shares buy and another 121,000 share buy, plus more notable buys, didn't move the pps the day the financials came out? They were bought @ .10 and float is listed @ about 11M - ???

BNX~~~NEWS~~Banks.com, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2011 Financial Results

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Banks.com, Inc. (NYSE Amex: BNX), operator of leading financial services focused online media properties, today announced results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Financial Highlights

For the second quarter of 2011, Banks.com, Inc. ("Banks.com") reported revenue of $1.4 million compared to revenue of $2.9 million reported for second quarter 2010. GAAP(i) net loss was $284 thousand or $0.01 per diluted share versus GAAP net loss of $231 thousand or $0.01 per diluted share reported for the second quarter of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA(ii) was $175 thousand for the second quarter of 2011 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $159 thousand for the second quarter of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Banks.com reported revenue of $3.4 million compared to revenue of $7.1 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2010. GAAP net loss was $223 thousand or $0.01 per diluted share versus GAAP net income of $66 thousand or break even per diluted share reported for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Adjusted EBITDA was $737 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

"Our acquisition of FileLater.com helped fuel a 37% year over year increase in tax related revenue in the second quarter. Revenue from our finance related business accounted for 49% of our top line last quarter versus just 28% in the second quarter of 2010 as we continued our evolution away from our legacy search business," said Dan O'Donnell, Chief Executive Officer of Banks.com. "Year over year Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was up 10%, in spite of a 52% reduction in revenue." O'Donnell continued, "Transitions are not always as seamless as we'd like, but we've made substantial progress in that regard and have now set our sights on exiting or outsourcing the search business by year end so we can be singly focused on the finance vertical as we enter 2012."

Select Business Highlights

Increased year over year tax related revenue for the second quarter by 37%
Increased second quarter Adjusted EBITDA by 10%
Increased pro forma, year over year, tax extension related revenue by 73%
Announced plans to exit or outsource the search business by year end

Also could be a legitmate buyout play from one of the big tax preparing companies.

Is Banks.com Inc (AMEX:BNX) going to grow into profitability, or not? Some suggest the current growth trend could trsnalte into as much as $2.5 million to $3 million in earnings this year. With more than 25 million shares outstanding, that translates into per-share profits of $0.08 to $0.12. Assuming normal valuations, such earnings could mean BNX would be worth $0.60 and $1.00 by the end of the year. The problem is, the 'could' is a hypothetical, and doesn't quite jive with actual trailing results.

Yes, revenue was up in the fourth quarter, but Q1's (2011's) suggested revenue forecast is only about half of Q1's from 2010 (from $4 million to $2.3 million). Comparable earnings are falling too, suggesting that the high-growth phase is already over, and everything from here will be a struggle. [Editorial note: The Banks.com market cap is still only $5.7 million, which when divided by Q1's annualized earnings of around $750K still translates into a P/E of less than 2.0.]

Re: #5: @Olanda - How's to-day, will BNX stay Green or after

I really don't have a feel for how BNX is going to play after the call. Would like to see it jump N from here. smile I'm sure they'll stick to the format as PR'd and also talk about the acquisition and then hit on some submitted questions. I do believe the 1st Q of 2011 was good for BNX. It would appear the partners are consolidating this year way more than last year on the backs of investors but, ich weiß nicht. I would like to see them let it run again to bring back more investor confidence. I've been holding for the long run and picked up some more @ .24 - I still think we'll see $1 +

After listening to the podcast from December to discuss earnings they kept hinting on making themselves more attractive in whole or parts to getting offers from other companies.
They have really fought through some adversity, reducing their staff, reducing their debt and getting themselves back to good standing with the exchange.

Looking for a triple bagger here. imo

Re: #1: @pwise - Earnings due out in a couple days. Current

I think conference call will come first tomorrow. No doubt Q&A will come up regarding 1Q earnings but focus will be on 4th Q 2010 and new acquisitions I think and future of Co. I think/hope they'll come out stronger this year.

Interesting thought regarding 'potential take over target'. I hadn't thought of that.

conference call to discuss fourth quarter and fiscal year 2010 financial results on Wednesday, March 30, 2011 at 2:00 PM Pacific / 5:00 PM. Eastern Time.

I played BNX last year from Dec. to April. It's trading totally different this year and I think they'll let it run no sooner than 1Q earnings report this time. I've been in since early Dec. this year and I think Value will hold much longer, looking for highs around June or so.

Good pps right now @ .26 to buy in -

All my opinion of course. -GL-
