Creative Realities announces acquisition agreement with ConeXus World


NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Creative Realities, Inc. ("Creative Realities" or the "Company") (OTCPINK: CREX), a leading marketing technologies solutions provider, announced that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with ConeXus World Global, LLC ("ConeXus") for ConeXus to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for stock consideration equal to approximately 23.6% of the Company on a fully-diluted, as-converted basis, through the issuance of a combination of the Company's common and preferred stock at a price (or conversion price) of $.28 per share.

In addition to the definitive merger agreement, the Company will enter into an employment agreement with Richard Mills, President and CEO of ConeXus, to assume the role of CEO of the combined company at the closing of the merger. John Walpuck, the Company's Interim CEO, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer will resume his previous duties as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. As a separate condition to the closing of the merger, the Company must sell an aggregate of $1.5 million in principal amount of senior convertible notes. Upon consummation of the merger, the board of directors of the combined company will include the existing Company board and two new members – Richard Mills and a designee of the new investor.

Alec Machiels, Chairman of the Company stated, "The acquisition of ConeXus provides a critical missing link, significantly enhancing our offering of end-to-end solutions for our current and future customers. ConeXus has a very strong reputation in designing, installing and servicing high-end audio-visual networks for clients both domestically and internationally. With offices across North America and installations in over 45 countries, we are well positioned to service a diverse portfolio of luxury brands, DOOH companies, advertising networks, and global retailers. The board is also extremely pleased to be naming Rick as CEO of the combined company.  He has over 20 years of experience in this field and significant public company experience."

Consummation of the proposed merger is subject to a number of closing conditions, including the delivery of audited financial statements from ConeXus satisfactory to the Compan and its independent auditors. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such closing conditions, the merger is expected to be consummated in the latter part of September 2015. There can be no assurance that the conditions to the merger will be satisfied or waived, or that the merger will be completed.



The Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a report on Form 8-K regarding the proposed merger, which will include the definitive merger agreement. All parties desiring details regarding the proposed merger are urged to review these documents, which will be available at the SEC's website (http://www.sec.gov).
