(OTCQB: ALYI) (“Alternet” or the “Company”), an investment holding company focused on the complimentary, high-growth markets of cyber-security and mobile financial services, today announced the asset sale of its mobile financial services subsidiary and the restructuring of its mobile cyber-security subsidiary.
As announced yesterday in a on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement. Effective October 15, 2013, the Company will sell all of the business and assets of its mobile financial services subsidiary, Alternet Systems Transactions (“ATS” or “Utiba Americas”), to its joint venture partner, Utiba Pte., a leading mobile payment software developer. Utiba Pte. will purchase the assets from the Company for an approximate total value of six and a half million ($6,500,000) paid over three years. Management is expected to remain in place following the transition.
Utiba Americas has seen significant success this year marked by growth in its customer base as compared to the prior year, as well as solid sales. Year-to-date sales have remained in-line with management expectations and are on target to reach end of the year milestones.
Mr. Henryk Dabrowski, CEO of Alternet Systems, commented, “Alternet-s core focus on capturing and converting growth and opportunities within the global mobile phone market remains steadfast. As disclosed yesterday, Utiba is seeking to purchase our stake in Utiba Americas. With the industry seeing widespread consolidation, entering into this purchase agreement now presents us with the strategic opportunity to not only quickly monetize and earn a substantial return on our initial investment, but also to obtain the financing necessary to solidify the Company-s financial position and pursue our next revenue generating opportunity and/or acquisition without delay. We believe this is the right move for the Company and our shareholders, and are confident in our ability to continue capitalizing on our investments in the time ahead.”
The transaction is subject to shareholder vote and approval. The Company will be filing Preliminary Proxy Statement and notice of Meeting of Shareholders immediately, and scheduling a Shareholders Meeting to vote on the transaction soon thereafter. If approved, the transaction could close as soon as Q1 2014.
Mr. Dabrowski continued, “Separate from the sale of Utiba Americas, we continue our focus on augmenting revenue with ancillary streams stemming from our cyber-security subsidiary, International Mobile Security (IMS), a provider mobile and digital security solutions to law enforcement agencies. To this effort, we-ve started restructuring the Company to position it for organic growth. We are actively recruiting an experienced management team to take operational control, as well as tapping current and opening new lines of business. All initiatives are of priority to me and my team; and we will notify the investment community on our progress in these areas as we are able to. We are excited about what the future has in store for the Company and the shareholders, and will update the market throughout it.”
