Ubiquity Broadcasting Corp. Has Entered Initial Negotiations to Acquire ZUUS Media

 

Ubiquity today announced that it has entered into a non-binding term sheet to acquire ZUUS Media, a next generation media company operating the ZUUS multi-platform music video network.

 

According to Billboard, "ZUUS (is) a new music service for the Web, iOS, Android and Television... the Pandora for video via curated music video channels based on genre, decade and even mood." Users can search a carefully selected menu of expertly programmed music video channels that cater to a wide array of personal tastes. They simply click on the channel they like (as they would for Pandora) but instead of audio alone, the artist’s music video plays for the complete immersive visual experience.

 

ZUUS offers four genre-specific music television channels (ZUUS Country, ZUUS Latino, ZUUS Hip Hop + R&B and ZUUS Hits), currently available in over 60 million US households and growing. The network also presents over 150 curated digital video channels available across Mobile, Tablet, Web, Facebook, and Connected TV platforms.  

 

In addition to its extensive catalogue of premium music videos, ZUUS produces and broadcasts original content, including live footage, behind-the-scenes access, interviews, artist-hosted shows, and more.  The acquisition is expected to create cross-selling opportunities for Ubiquity’s core product and service segments.

 

“We are excited about the addition of ZUUS to our portfolio of Web 3.0 capabilities. The transaction will enable us to integrate ZUUS as a business division of Ubiquity, where it will be able to further develop and scale with the support of our infrastructure, intellectual property, technology and capabilities. In addition, the team at ZUUS brings a world-class network of creative talent and we look forward to working with them to continue building ZUUS Media’s prominence in the market,” said CEO Chris Carmichael.

 

 

Part of Ubiquity’s strategic plan is to acquire companies and enable them with its patented technology. This allows Ubiquity to bring companies to the forefront by providing a competitive advantage with its extensive patent portfolio and cutting edge technologies while leveraging the revenue opportunities.

 

Steve Goldstein, ZUUS co-founder and CEO, shared his excitement, “We at ZUUS are thrilled with the prospect of joining forces with Ubiquity. The ZUUS multi-platform network will provide an invaluable showcase for many of Ubiquity’s products, assets and capabilities. We look forward to building on Ubiquity’s unique strengths to enhance our audience’s total experience across our television and digital platforms.”

 

The ZUUS transaction is valued at roughly $30,000,000. To satisfy the purchase price, the Company intends to issue shares of Ubiquity restricted common stock with a price per share to be determined on or as of the date of the closing of the purchase.

 

 
 

 

The pending acquisition is conditional on board approval, regulatory approval, due diligence and the negotiation of definitive documentation.
