BidChaser acquired by Integrated Media Holdings (I-Media)
Quote:Jul 19, 2006 -- Integrated Media Holdings, Inc. (OTC BB:IMHI.OB - News) announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Orlando, Florida-based Bidchaser, Inc., a global online auction and e-commerce company. The acquisition will be completed by merging a newly formed Integrated Media subsidiary with Bidchaser through a share exchange and with Bidchaser surviving as the wholly owned subsidiary. The agreement to acquire Bidchaser gives Integrated Media Holdings (I-Media) its second wholly owned subsidiary and allows the Company to acquire an "e-commerce" platform and business plan that is being launched into the market during July and August. Bidchaser is expected to begin generating revenues from its e-commerce services and transactions during this initial rollout period.

Under definitive agreement, the acquisition will be accomplished through a reverse triangular merger and share exchange that is expected to be completed on or around August 31, 2006. This is an important strategic move for I-Media in its series of steps to improve shareholder value. Through this acquisition, Bidchaser also brings to I-Media an experienced and fully hardware-equipped software engineering and multimedia acquisition staff, with IT/Web development offices in Baroda, Pune and Mumbai (Bombay), India, which will be used for I-Media's broadband video and e-commerce projects.

In addition to Bidchaser's IT and e-commerce assets, the acquisition brings an active content deal pipeline from India and the Far East to I-Media's current broadband video business in the East. Prior to acquiring Bidchaser, I-Media's industry presence had been strongest in the North and Latin American markets. Upon the acquisition, I-Media's proprietary broadband video and e-commerce businesses will be immediately increased worldwide.

The acquisition of Bidchaser will be accomplished through a share exchange for 100% of Bidchaser shares after merging with a newly formed subsidiary of Integrated Media Holdings. Bidchaser shareholders will receive a total of 2,122,094 common shares and 280,080 Series A Preferred Shares. Series A Preferred shares are each convertible into 9.6 common shares. To significantly reduce dilution to existing Integrated Media shareholders, the company's majority holder is contributing 100% of the Series A Preferred shares from its existing holdings for the preferred exchange.

"This transaction will significantly reduce I-Media's cost of development and sales, while improving our balance sheet immediately," said Paul Hamm, CEO of I-Media.

I-Media's wholly owned subsidiary Endavo has already been using Bidchaser's services in the development and deployment of online video portals and services prior to the acquisition. "By acquiring Bidchaser, our top line growth will be accelerated and I-Media's current broadband technologies and e-commerce capabilities will be greatly increased," Hamm added.

"Bidchaser is excited to be a part of the I-Media group," said Leonardo Cunha, President and CTO of Bidchaser, Inc. "The combined resources, expertise, and strategic vision in the digital commerce marketplace shared by Bidchaser and I-Media will make this a successful and profitable venture. We will be a formidable presence in the industry and a leader in the new era of digital commerce."
