Each party is conducting its respective due diligence and the contemplated Transaction remains subject to approval by the board of directors of each party, stock exchange and regulatory approval. Subject to the completion of each company's due diligence to its sole satisfaction, the parties will negotiate and proceed to enter into a definitive agreement outlining the terms and structure of the transaction.

Strategic Rationale for the Combination: Building Value with Immediate Accretive Acquisition Revenue Growth

"The combination with GetIt marks the first step in our new corporate strategy of scaling up our business to become a national leader through both organic growth and tactical acquisition.
