LAS VEGAS, Oct. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - LiveDeal, Inc., a diversified holding company (LIVE)(the "Company"), today announces that it has completed its change from LiveDeal, Inc. to Live Ventures Incorporated through its previously announced internal short-form merger.
"Completing this reorganization and name change is the best reflection of how we have evolved as a company over the last two years. Our focus has always been to provide our customers with the best products and services, while providing optimal value for our stockholders," said Jon Isaac, CEO of Live Ventures Incorporated. "It has become clear that our best strategy has been to concurrently develop our in-house capabilities and acquire revenue-producing and profitable assets to expand our holdings. Our most recent acquisition of Marquis Industries is a prime example of this strategy, as they brought $60M in yearly revenues and around $8M in EBITDA to Live Ventures Incorporated."
These changes are not expected to have any material impact on the everyday business operations of the Company's subsidiaries. While the parent company, Live Ventures Incorporated, will continue to seek potential acquisition targets, LiveDeal will continue to operate as normal, providing online restaurant and merchandise deals for consumers. The Company's other subsidiaries, ModernEveryday and Marquis Industries, will also continue their regular operations.
