(NASDAQ: SCGQ) (OTCBB: SCGQU) (OTCBB: SCGQW) (SCG), announced today it has successfully completed its business combination with Reach Media Group Holdings, Inc. (RMG Networks), a leading digital signage media and technology company. Going forward, SCG will do business as "RMG Networks."

Our goal is to become a premier platform for providing customers and partners intelligent visual communications solutions and we will move swiftly to capture opportunities in this highly fragmented space," said Gregory H. Sachs, Chairman and CEO of SCG. "In particular, RMG is well-positioned to capitalize on its existing leadership position in the fast-expanding out-of-home digital signage advertising market."
"Our strong positions in the air-travel and shopping mall out-of-home advertising markets give RMG Networks a strong platform for growth," said Mr. McGuire. "We believe this combination presents a significant opportunity for RMG and marks the start of an expanded business strategy to extend our footprint through organic growth, acquisitions and entry into adjacent markets. I look forward to working with Gregory and our entire team to build an exciting future for RMG Networks and its employees, customers and partners."
It is expected that beginning on Wednesday, April 10, 2013, the stock ticker symbol for shares of SCG common stock will change from "SCGQ" to "RMGN."
