ORANGE, Calif., May 31, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sharing Services, Inc. (OTC Markets:SHRV) announced today it has entered into an agreement for a strategic investment in 212 Technologies, LLC, the provider of advanced marketing technologies including web and mobile-based software applications. The agreement grants Sharing Services, Inc. a license to leverage proprietary intellectual property for developing the Company’s products and services along with a 48% ownership stake in 212 Technologies, LLC in exchange for cash in the amount of $100,000 and an aggregate of 15,628,750 restricted shares of Sharing Services, Inc. Series A Preferred Stock, of which a total of 5,628,750 shares are to be issued in quarterly installments over the next 9 months with the remaining 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be issued after one year when certain financial milestones have been achieved.
The marketing software and systems developed by 212 Technologies, LLC were developed based upon more than 21 years’ experience in the online marketing and direct sales industries and have been accessed by over 20 million system users. “We are excited about the opportunity to assist Sharing Services in achieving its strategic goals by leveraging our systems and expertise,” said Michael Darling, 212 Technologies’ CEO. “The potential targets we can engage together are too numerous to count.”
The IP acquired by Sharing Services, Inc. was developed over the past 2 years to leverage new cutting-edge technology that has only recently become available. It provides a comprehensive “end to end” technology set, including customer facing websites, back end system management system, unique database schema, specialized client and server side scripting, intuitive mobile applications, and a proprietary AI Module (“automated intelligence”) that monitors data and interacts seamlessly between each system element.
