Siemer & Associates LLC Advises Pringo, Inc. on its Merger with MobileBits Holdings Corp. ─ July 1, 2011
July 1, 2011 (Los Angeles, CA) ─ Siemer & Associates is pleased to announce it has advised Pringo, Inc., a provider of enterprise-class online portals and social collaboration tools, on its merger with MobileBits Holdings Corp., a mobile phone applications developer. The transaction is expected to close by the end of July. In the meantime, developers at MobileBits and Pringo are busy designing a series of new and exciting enterprise and consumer-focused solutions that will be announced in the next few months.
The merger will allow Pringo to expand into the flourishing mobile application market and to utilize its Admin Module, Content Management System and User Management Tool to power the web as well as mobile apps on various platforms. MobileBits, in turn, will gain the ability to deliver a full range of online content, social collaboration and interactive data solutions ─ all of which will enhance its mobile and web results, allowing for a more targeted advertising platform.
“Siemer’s consistently excellent advice guided us through numerous challenges as we collectively navigated our way from the starting point of a highly coordinated and effective market outreach process all the way through to the ultimate conclusion of this successful merger,” said Majid Abai, Chief Executive Officer of Pringo.
“The integration of Pringo’s and MobileBits’ technologies will allow for a seamless mobile and web solution that operates through one scalable, enterprise-grade platform,” said David Siemer, Managing Director at Siemer & Associates. “I am proud to have played a role in bringing the two companies together.”
