InterAmerican Gaming Extends NOWPHIT Closing
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Aug. 23, 2011) - InterAmerican Gaming Inc. ("the Company") (PINK SHEETS:IAGM) announced today that it has agreed to extend the closing date of its previously announced letter of intent with Baron Group Ventures ("BGV") to acquire an 80.1% interest in NOWPHIT (www.nowphit.com). The closing date has been extended to September 23, 2011. The delay in closing is not anticipated to impact the development of the NOWPHIT platform.
"The parties are working diligently to close the acquisition, however a cross-border transaction such as this may often take longer than expected, especially during the summer," explained Marc Askenasi, founder of NOWPHIT and principal shareholder of BGV. "We extended the closing date to ensure we have the time to get all of our legal documents and transactional items completed."
NOWPHIT is a new social gaming platform and smartphone application that empowers and inspires people to improve their personal health and fitness and makes it easier to achieve healthy lifestyle goals. The NOWPHIT app is being developed for iPhone for distribution via iTunes (expected Q4 2011), with Android and Blackberry versions to follow.
NOWPHIT syncs with gym or at-home fitness machines and allows "NOWPHIT athletes" to track, train and compete with each other over the NOWPHIT network in real time for virtual and real-life rewards such as trophies, medals and location-based coupons and special offers. NOWPHIT also features a charitable and event function. NOWPHIT athletes can raise donations for a charity of their choice, and virtually train and compete in real athletic events anywhere around the world (i.e. the New York City Marathon).
