Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Majority of Ubiquity Shareholders Support Registration Rights Agreement

 

87% of the Restricted Stockholders of Ubiquity Are Now Party to the Registration Rights Agreement

 

IRVINE, Calif., October 8, 2014 - 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 that the stockholders that have become a party to the previously announced registration rights agreement for a proposed firm commitment underwritten offering for gross proceeds to the Company of at least $40 million (the “Proposed Offering”) has increased to stockholders that hold 87% of the Company’s issued and outstanding restricted common stock. The registration rights agreement became effective on September 22, 2014 and restricted stockholders have until October 31, 2014 to become a party to this agreement.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement will continue to be effective as long as certain events (“Milestones”) are achieved on or prior to the date specified in the Registration Rights Agreement. These milestones include engaging a managing underwriter on terms acceptable to Ubiquity and other matters related to a registered offering. The Proposed Offering is intended by the Company to enable it to satisfy the requirements to uplist the Company’s common stock to NASDAQ.

 

“We are pleased to see the continued support from our shareholders as we move toward completing our goals both operationally and within the public markets,” stated Chris Carmichael, CEO of Ubiquity, Inc. “We are greatly encouraged by the additional support received by our shareholders who wish to participate in the proposed offering, perpetuating our continued success.”

 

“Now that we have gained commitment from our Company executives and holders of over 87% of the Company’s restricted common stock, we are eager to begin implementing our rapid growth strategy and deliver upon our Company’s milestones”, concluded Mr. Carmichael.

 

"We appreciate the overwhelming support and commitment of our investors holding restricted stock supporting our efforts to uplist to NASDAQ as part of our long-term strategic plan”, said Nicholas Mitsakos Co-Chairman of Ubiquity.

 

Holders of restricted common stock that are party to the Registration Rights Agreement have agreed to not sell their shares except as part of the Proposed Offering or unless certain events (“milestones”) are not achieved by the dates specified in the Registration Rights Agreement. These milestones represent some of the key execution points to successfully complete a Proposed Offering such as engaging the managing underwriter, filing the registration statement with the SEC on Form S-1 and completing the offering. Each Holder may choose to opt out and not sell their shares in any Proposed Offering if the price or other terms are not acceptable to them.

 

The Registration Rights Agreement was previously announced by the Company on September 11, 2014. It became effective on September 22, 2014.
