LiveDeal Unveils Non-Dilutive Acquisition Strategy Designed to Maximize Stockholder Value


Company To Re-Brand as Live Ventures, Inc.

LAS VEGAS, June 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - LiveDeal Inc. (NASDAQ:LIVE) ("LiveDeal" or the "Company"), a publicly traded company that operates livedeal.com, a geo-location-based, mobile marketing platform for consumer products and "real-time" and "instant dining offers" to nearby consumers, today announces that it has solidified its acquisition strategy to seek out undervalued companies with little to no online presence.  Further, the Company has adopted a policy designed to prevent share dilution and to increase stockholder value.  LiveDeal now intends for its contemplated acquisitions to be financed and closed using traditional, non-dilutive debt financing rather than using the Company's equity.  

In addition, based on its desire to seek acquisitions in any vertical that can sustain an online component, the Company has re-branded itself to better reflect this new direction.  With this rebranding will come a new corporate name, "Live Ventures, Inc."  Live Ventures, Inc. will retain the ticker NASDAQ:LIVE, and LiveDeal Inc. will become a wholly-owned, fully operating subsidiary of Live Ventures, Inc., providing the same online offers as it currently provides.  The Company expects the name change to take effect within 45 days.

"We have repeatedly discussed that we see LiveDeal as a leader in the industry, and that our growth wouldtranscend the deal space," said Jon Isaac, CEO of LiveDeal.  "By rebranding ourselves to Live Ventures, Inc., we have the bandwidth to expand into a wide variety of verticals, while maintaining our original acquisition strategy, namely, seeking revenue-positive companies that are undervalued and present significant growth opportunities through an online presence.  We look forward to demonstrating our vision, and our success, to our stockholders, customers and potential partners alike."
