Jumbuck announces completion of OZtion sale
ASX release
Melbourne: 15 September 2010
Jumbuck Entertainment Limited (ASX:JMB) today announced the completion of the sale of its OZtion assets to online classifieds business, carsales.com Ltd for $1,100,000.
This sale comes as part of the strategic asset review led by new Jumbuck CEO, David Gibbs.
Mr Gibbs said: “While OZtion is recognised as a strong platform and brand, our corporate strategy has changed significantly in the past six months. Following a review of our business and portfolio we took a decision to divest non-core assets that do not fit within our global mobile communities.”
“Jumbuck is strategically positioned at the intersection of two of today’s most influential mediums: mobile telephony and social media. We are realigning our products, adding skills and redeploying our resources to move into a strong growth phase,” Mr Gibbs said.
Mr Gibbs said the OZtion divestment would allow Jumbuck to focus on new opportunities in core markets, including next-generation mobile phone applications for consumers as well as Jumbuck’s 120-strong carrier network.
The value of the OZtion assets at 30 June 2010 was equal to the sales consideration.
