ITEX Acquires American Commerce Exchange

 

 

 

Bellevue, WA – June 7, 2017 ITEX Corporation (OTC: ITEX), The Membership Trading CommunitySM, today announced it had acquired American Commerce Exchange (ACX) of Glendale, California. The all-cash transaction includes a 300-member client list, transaction histories, websites, trademarks and certain assets transferred to ITEX’s corporate office. 

 

ACX was founded by Mark Tracy in 1982. Mr. Tracy commented, “Selling something you’ve built for 35 years is never easy. I got to know ITEX’s CEO Steven White through industry events over the decades, and believe the barter industry is better and stronger today because of him. Knowing Steve and the way he transformed ITEX as the industry leader really helped to make this decision easier for me.”

 

Steven White, CEO of ITEX, stated “Mark has been a consistent, dedicated operator for years with a high level of integrity. It is very satisfying for ITEX to facilitate this transaction with Mark and to give him peace of mind that the ACX members will be well cared for in his absence. We are experts at integration and since ITEX has locations across the country we provide thousands of new customers for the acquired members and a great exit strategy for exchange owners. A win, win for all stakeholders.”
