Migo Software to Acquire Leading Retail and Web Titles from StompSoft
Acquisition of Recognized Leader in Backup, System Utility and Online Security/Privacy Software Would Dramatically Expand Migo's Product Portfolio, Boost Revenues and Open New Retail and Web Channels.
Redwood City, Calif., October 23, 2006 -- Migo Software (OTCBB:MIGO) today announced that it has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire StompSoft, Inc.'s entire line of software titles. Migo's purchase includes StompSoft's popular PC BackUp, Registry Repair and Digital Vault/Portable Vault titles, currently found in leading retailers such as Fry's, Comp USA and Office Depot. Migo will also acquire StompSoft's web store.
Located in Irvine, CA, StompSoft is a privately owned manufacturer of award-winning backup, system utility and online security/privacy software. For the year ended December 2005, StompSoft had revenues of approximately $3.6 million. Migo expects to pay consideration of up to $6.35 million for the acquisition, including $500,000 in cash, $2.5 million in the form of a convertible subordinated note, up to $350,000 in debt assumption (also be converted into convertible subordinated notes) and up to a maximum of $3.0 million in royalties based on the future sales of StompSoft products during the 18-month period following closing. The transaction remains subject to negotiation of a mutually agreeable definitive acquisition agreement and customary closing conditions.
"The acquisition of these software titles will significantly broaden Migo's product line and allow us to capitalize on StompSoft's strong retail, web and OEM distribution channels," said Kent Heyman, CEO of Migo Software. "The acquisition will establish Migo as a leading supplier of data management solutions, and we're very excited about that."
Michael Hummell, president and CEO of StompSoft, said, "The Migo and StompSoft product lines perfectly complement each other and will bring tremendous value to consumers who need to synch, repair, secure or move data on their computers."
Migo software provides computer users a safe, easy-to-use, traceless method of working on personal files and their own email - including Microsoft Outlook® and Outlook Express® - on borrowed computers, eliminating the need to bring along a PC or laptop of their own. Users connect their Migo-enabled device to a handy PC, and with a few clicks that PC turns into their own, right down to the wallpaper on their screen, for as long as they need it. When finished, Migo leaves no trace of their personal files behind, and upon returning home it synchronizes that work with their own home or office PC.
