The planned acquisition will add to Northsight’s roll-up strategy in the Cannabis media space.
Northsight Capital Inc. (“NCAP”) (OTC PINK: NCAP) announced today that it has signed a non-binding LOI to acquire Uptick Newswire, Inc., a leading newswire company for public Microcap companies. The latest statistics show that there are over 11,000 micro-cap companies with a combined market cap of over $500 billion.
Uptick Newswire is one of the leading outlets for micro-cap companies to display their company’s current and future potential, giving CEO’s the opportunity to tell their story directly to qualified investors, brokerage houses, journalists, bloggers, and influencers. Uptick currently interviews approximately 50 CEO’s a month on its Radio broadcast and via video segments, featuring those interviews on its website and allowing the shareholders of the individual companies to watch and/or listen to the interview. To date, Uptick has interviewed approximately 1000 Microcap CEO’s on the air. Uptick’s content can be found on Audio Boom, iTunes, iHeart Radio, Investors Hangout, Google Play, YouTube, Stitcher, aCast, Spreaker, Podcast Directory, Player FM, BluBrry, TuneIn and Biz Talk Radio.
The radio show and podcast generate revenue from fees paid by participants, while also driving traffic to UPTICK Newswire’s website. The show increases brand awareness by virtue of reaching hundreds of thousands of listeners and improves brand legitimacy by increasing transparency of the Micro and Nano-cap stock markets and providing education about these markets to investors worldwide.
Terms of the proposed acquisition were not released. Completion of the transaction is subject to funding, board approval and negotiation and execution of definitive agreements.
Everett Jolly, President of Uptick stated: “We look forward to becoming part of Northsight Capital, Inc., and are pleased the result of this transaction will allow us to better serve our customer base.” Northsight has a dedicated management team who, through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, has created a nation leading marketing and advertising platform. The combination of our complementary businesses will be a catalyst to develop reach and accelerate growth.”
