Empire Global Corp. (emgl.pk) is pleased to announce today that it has entered
into an agreement to acquire Avontrust Global Pte. Ltd. in Singapore ("AVT") a
provider of various applications on Facebook and other social media platforms.
The acquisition, which is expected to close on January 6, 2012 will result in
AVT becoming a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Empire.

AVT develops and has acquired a series of social networking entertainment
applications on Facebook with approximately 7 million installed users. According
to Google Analytics, AVT applications are employed by users represented in over
200 countries in approximately 134 languages and in more then 13,598 different
cities.

AVT's current Facebook suite of captivating applications and products range
from games, quizzes and social commerce storefronts appealing to all ages and
demographics. AVT aims to tap this user base to virally promote innovative new
applications it will be producing internally and with its business partners to
become a leader in gaming and social commerce applications.

Empires' objective is to be on the leading edge of a multi-billion dollar social
media technology industry by becoming one of the first publicly listed companies
fully integrated, as a company using all possible social media tools to engage
our consumers, suppliers and shareholders. Our plan to be innovative, unique and
ahead of our competitors is to remain nimble and effective and offer the highest
degree of shareholder interaction, commentary and suggestion to help develop our
product and service lines to meet the demands for these services through such
direct interaction immediately and cost effectively.

In short, through feedback from our shareholders and the social media
population, produce and launch applications that people demand and want right
away.
