CALGARY, Alberta--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First Corporation (OTCBB:FSTC - News) announces it has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of Acquma Holdings Limited. This marks a significant change from the previous Agreement between the two companies on July 6, 2009 whereby First Corporation (First Corp.) was to acquire only 10% of Acquma. The entire issued share capital of Acquma is to be acquired through a share exchange with First Corp.

Acquma Holdings Limited is a privately held British Virgin Islands registered firm engaged in identifying and investing in new and developing companies that Acquma believes show promising growth prospects. www.acquma.net Currently, Acquma holds 18.30% of Tramigo Ltd.

Joel Breeze, CEO of First Corp., notes, “The pending acquisition and merger of Acquma and First Corp. presents a great opportunity for First Corp. We expect Acquma to bring investments and opportunities to us that otherwise would not be available, including Tramigo which has a first class product in a rapidly expanding market. When Daniel Craig-Hallam and his Acquma team take control of the First Corp.’s administration, I anticipate rapid growth.”

Daniel Craig-Hallam, CEO of Acquma states, “The pending merger of our two companies creates an exciting and real opportunity for growth. We have the option to, and propose to, increase our investment in Tramigo and foresee further value for our shareholders. My Board colleagues and I will join the Board of First Corp. upon consummation of the Agreement. We will continue to support Tramigo and are looking at numerous other opportunities to bring to First Corp.”
