Exhibit 99.1
CROWDGATHER, INC. ANNOUNCES RESULTS OF
2011 ANNUAL SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Woodland Hills, CA. October 31, 2011 --- One of the leading networks of forum communities on the Internet, CrowdGather (OTCBB:CRWG), is pleased to announce the results of its 2011 Annual Shareholder Meeting held October 28, 2011 at CrowdGather’s corporate office in Woodland Hills, CA. During CrowdGather’s Annual Shareholder Meeting, CrowdGather Chairman and CEO Sanjay Sabnani, Director Chuck Timpe, Director Jonathan R. Dariyanani and Director James A. Sacks were re-elected to serve on the Company's Board of Directors until the next shareholders meeting in October 2012. The shareholders also ratified the selection of Q Accountancy Corporation as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm.
“We are excited about the prospects for our business, and we believe we have adequate capital to continue and grow our operations without the need to access the capital markets for the foreseeable future or until we achieve cash-flow breakeven,” said Sanjay Sabnani, CrowdGather’s Chairman and CEO. “As a further demonstration of our commitment to CrowdGather, members of our Board of Directors, including myself, have recently increased our respective stakes in the Company through open market purchases.”
“We are dedicated to our corporate initiatives, and we are confident that our management team is focused on continuously improving the monetization of our existing ad inventory, particularly with the integration and deployment of our ad server platform in early 2012,” Sabnani continued. “Initially, we had stated a goal of 250 million monthly page views by the end of our next fiscal year in April. As of this month, we are already at approximately 235 million monthly page views based on current Google analytics. The Yuku acquisition in September 2011 significantly increased our forum footprint. Yuku was our largest traffic acquisition to date, and we believe we purchased this asset at an attractive price. We continue to seek opportunities for additional acquisitions, and we are working diligently to execute on our strategic plan. We look forward to sharing with our shareholders the results of these and other efforts in the coming months.”
