EFactor Group Corp. Acquires ELEQT Ltd., the Invitation-Only Social Network for Trendsetters in Style and Business

ELEQT Expected to Add Benefits to EFactor.com Membership and Expand Subscriber Base Through Event-Driven Marketing

  

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – October 6, 2014 – EFactor Group Corp. (OTCQB: EFCT) (“EFactor Group Corp.” or “the Company"), owners of a group of entrepreneur-focused service companies and EFactor.com, a niche social network providing content and resources for entrepreneurs worldwide, today announced its acquisition of ELEQT Ltd.

 

The stock-based transaction was completed for consideration of 31,000,000 shares of EFCT common stock for 100% ownership of ELEQT Ltd. For the year ended December 31, 2013, ELEQT Ltd. reported revenues of $1.3 million representing year-over-year growth of approximately 30%. The current management team of ELEQT will continue to manage ELEQT operations and will be entitled to receive with the selling shareholders, earn-out payments of additional common stock based on the achievement of certain performance targets including membership increases, revenue growth and profit margin gains.

 

“Our social discovery network for affluent people naturally puts us in constant contact with accomplished entrepreneurs all over the world,” began Ruud Smeets, Founder and CEO of ELEQT Ltd. “While many are successful in their own right, entrepreneurs are consistently looking for opportunities to grow their own business, start another, and/or fund other entrepreneurial ideas. For this reason, EFactor Group is a perfect synergy for us and we plan to quickly introduce EFactor.com at the hundreds of events we host worldwide with partners such as Maserati and Moet&Chandon.” Ronald de la Fuente-Saze, co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer ELEQT continued, “ Our events, just like EFactor’s live events, are designed to connect people face-to-face once they have first made a virtual connection on our network and vice versa. We believe that this hybrid form of social networking is the true essence of networking and the value we will bring to our collective subscriber bases.”

 

Mr. Smeets will be appointed to the board of directors of EFactor Group Corp. and will spearhead the continued development of EFactor.com’s social media network and content marketing to entrepreneurs as well as ELEQT.com. EFactor will group both EFactor.com and ELEQT under the leadership of Mr. Smeets as President of Social Networks.

 

 
 

 

“Our subscribers on EFactor.com and the businesses we have acquired to help service and develop entrepreneurs will significantly benefit from the acquisition of ELEQT,” Adriaan Reinders, CEO of EFactor Group Corp. added. “We envision accelerating our membership growth and international roll-out by offering significant business development opportunities to our member base by connecting them, online and in real life, with ELEQT’s global member base of more than 100,000 decision makers and VIPs. The ELEQT acquisition is another example of the types of businesses we look to add to our group – namely, businesses that are fast growing, have a dynamic, entrepreneurial management team and a vibrant social network, provide revenues and earnings for EFactor Group Corp. and open the doors to other opportunities, such as, potentially, funding opportunities for our EFactor.com subscribers.”
