The Millennial-Focused Hologram, Virtual Reality, and Premium Streaming Content Platform Has Launched What It Believes to Be the Largest Ever Social Media Crowd Financing Campaign for an Initial Public Offering on a Major Exchange
BEVERLY HILLS, CA (Marketwired September 20, 2016) FOTV Media Networks Inc. (proposed NasdaqCM symbol: FOTV) today announced what it believes to be the largest ever crowd financing campaign for its initial public offering on Nasdaq.
FOTV and its subsidiaries, which produce and distribute patented hologram shows, virtual reality, live shows, live broadcasts and premium over-the-top ( OTT ) streaming content has launched social media, radio and TV spot and infomercial advertisements across all major cable news channels including CNBC, Bloomberg and Fox Business. The paid ads will also air across Sirius XM channels including Howard Stern's channels and on the talk radio shows of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others. The ads also appear on all Jet Blue flights and on FOTV's own broadcasts via cable, satellite and streaming television. Watch the commercial here.
FOTV is also marketing to the 75 million unique monthly users of the group's sites including FilmOn TV's 600+ live channels, and via email to 30 million registered users. FOTV is harnessing the power of its networks of social media influencers on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, SnapChat and YouTube.
The commercials and emails explain the offering which anyone can buy into and how FilmOn TV Networks Inc., Hologram USA FOTV Productions Inc. (which controls content for the patented technology behind the famous Tupac Shakur, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston holograms), CinemaNow, LLC, and OVGuide Inc. work together to form an integrated, millennial-focused digital media network.
We founded this company in 2007 with the goal of delivering TV to the public when and where they want to consume it, said FOTV Media Networks CEO Alki David. We've been sticking up for the people's access to quality TV ever since. And now with this crowd financing campaign, we believe we're giving the public the chance to invest in the kind of tech IPO they've traditionally been shut out of. This is an extensive crowd financing event that gives the public a stake in the future of a fast-growing media company.
FOTV's initial public offering is for a minimum of 2,500,000 shares of common stock and a maximum of 3,750,000 shares of common stock at $8.00 per share. These shares will be offered on a best efforts basis. On August 12, 2016, FOTV's registration statement for its initial public offering was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
FOTV expects the offering to close on or before October 11, 2016, subject to the receipt of investor commitments for the minimum offering amount and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, and that its shares will begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol FOTV shortly after closing. However, there can be no assurance that these conditions will be met. FOTV intends to use the proceeds of the offering to finance acquisitions of, or investments in, Internet video content, to buy and aggregate complementary businesses, to accelerate marketing and promotional activities to improve its advertising sales and brand awareness, and for general corporate purposes.
Monarch Bay Securities, LLC is acting as the sole representative of the underwriters and, together with Network 1 Financial Securities, Inc., is acting as co-manager for this offering.
FOTV has filed a registration statement (including a prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents the issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about the issuer and this offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the company will arrange to send you the prospectus after filing if you request it by filling out the form on the website or calling toll-free 888 FOTV NOW (888 368 8669)
