Ubiquity, Inc. Signs Agreement To Acquire Coversant, Inc.

IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Ubiquity, Inc. (OTCBB: UBIQ) ("Ubiquity" or the "Company"), a technology development and licensing company that holds an extensive portfolio of patents across multiple technology market verticals, announced today that the Company has signed an agreement to acquire Coversant, Inc. ("Coversant"). Per terms of the acquisition, Coversant will merge into Ubiquity in exchange for 13,242,334 shares of Ubiquity's common stock. Coversant's CEO and board member, Dale Okuno, will join Ubiquity's board of directors, and their management team will be integrated into Ubiquity's existing corporate structure. Closing of the definitive agreement is subject to completion of due diligence by both parties and execution of other closing conditions. There is no guarantee that these matters will be completed and that the transaction will close.

Coversant is a developer of a SoapBox platform classified as an "Internet of Things Service Bus" (IoT-SB) which can securely and efficiently connect devices, sensors, and actuators to users, applications and databases for data analysis and process control. The SoapBox IoT-SB is one of two software platforms in the world that has passed rigorous Defense Information Systems Agency, and placed on the Unified Capabilities Approved Product List (UCAPL).  The SoapBox protocol, based on XMPP, is mandated by the Department of Defense for real time communication for voice, video, chat, messaging and presence. In the full year ended 2014, Coversant recorded revenues of approximately $1.2 million.

Dale Okuno, Chief Executive Officer of Coversant, stated, "We are excited to bring our talent, expertise and technology to the Ubiquity team. We believe that there is a strong potential to develop synergies and sales opportunities with this merger."

Chris Carmichael, Co-Chairman of Ubiquity, stated, "Coversant's IoT-SB is a perfect compliment to our existing security IP, patents and Sprocket platform. We were impressed with their technology and management team as well as the fact that they already generate revenue year after year. Coversant will serve as a revenue generator for us as we continue to develop Sprocket and our commercial partnerships. We really feel that this merger will increase Ubiquity's value proposition as we continue to work towards our goal of uplisting to a major exchange."
