Littleton, Mass. and Cambridge, U.K. — Livewire Mobile, Inc. (OTC Markets: LVWR), a leader in providing end-to-end managed mobile entertainment solutions for network operators and consumer device manufacturers, announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement for substantially all its business assets and certain liabilities to be acquired by OnMobile Global Limited, a global leader in telecom value-added services.

Under the terms of the agreement, Livewire Mobile will receive $17.8M USD for its existing business assets subject to certain escrow and performance contingencies.  It is the Company’s expectation that the holders of senior secured convertible notes will convert a majority of their notes and vote the converted shares in favor of this transaction, which could amount to approximately 80% of the then fully-diluted outstanding shares.

“We’re incredibly excited to become part of OnMobile to create the world’s leading carrier VAS company,” said Matthew Stecker, President and CEO of Livewire Mobile.  “Upon evaluation of several strategic alternatives made possible by our recent revenue growth, our Board concluded that this transaction was the best path to maximizing value for our shareholders and for our customers.”

“OnMobile is a well-respected leader in delivering value-added services to mobile operators around the world with a very complementary suite of mobile services and geographical footprint to ours.  Our customers will be well-served not only by the one-stop access to additional mobile entertainment services, but also by OnMobile’s dedication to quality and innovation and their substantial development resources,” said Mr. Stecker.

“We have great respect for the strong long-standing relationships that Livewire Mobile has built with its customers as well as its expertise in delivering innovative mobile music services,” said Mouli Raman, CEO of OnMobile Global Limited.  “We fully appreciate the value that Livewire Mobile provides and look forward to working together with Livewire’s employees, partners, and customers as we continue to invest towards positively impacting people’s lives using mobile technology.”

The transaction is targeted to close on June 30 upon satisfaction of various customary closing conditions.

The resultant new U.S.-based entity, OnMobile Live, LLC., will incorporate all of the services provided by Livewire Mobile, including its wholly-owned U.K. subsidiary, FoneStarz, and plans to retain and grow substantially all of Livewire’s existing offices, personnel, platforms and products worldwide.
