AdEffective Limited ( ABN or the Company ) is pleased to announce it has signed a Letter of Intent and Term Sheet to acquire select website and business assets of Ecommerce business EzyDirect ( EzyDirect ).
EzyDirect is an online ecommerce store established in 2006, specialising in electronics and office supply products. EzyDirect generated over $450,000 in Revenue for FY12 and has access to over 16,000 sales items through a network of suppliers. Between the years of 2007-2011 the EzyDirect websites generated revenues in excess of $600,000 each year.
Since its inception, over 12,000 customers have sourced goods from EzyDirect websites.
The Letter of Intent and Term Sheet contemplates the parties entering into a formal Asset Purchase Agreement, which is currently being documented. The proposed acquisition will take effect on completion of the formal agreement and achieving set targets as documented in the Letter of Intent and Term Sheet.
The parties have agreed that ABN will acquire select assets of EzyDirect based on set revenue goals, with a consideration of up to $54,000 based on the acquired business achieving revenues of $60,000 per month within three months.
The primary EzyDirect website, Ezydirect.com.au, will be incorporated into the Company’s new Ecommerce division. The Footar and AdFeed businesses will assist this new division with the provision of marketing and technology services to both support further acquisitions and create new online businesses specialising in transaction-based website revenue generation.
The Company is also in discussions with the owners of a number of other Ecommerce web businesses that have the potential to further bolster the new Ecommerce division.
It is envisaged that the acquisition of one or more Ecommerce businesses along with the EzyDirect business would be funded out of current cash reserves and/or the issue of ordinary shares.
