TuCows to Purchase NetIdentity
TuCows, a well known provider of domain name services announced that they plan to acquire NetIdentity. Mailbank is the parent company of NetIdentity, and operates several companies under this name.
According to TuCows, “the deal is worth $18 million in cash, promissory notes and the issue of approximately 3,603,000 shares of common stock to the stockholders of NetIdentity.†TuCows expects a healthy return from their invest and forecasts that it will increase their cash flow by $3 to $4 million each year.
“There is a very natural fit between NetIdentity and Tucows’ retail business,” says Elliot Noss, president and CEO for Tucows. “However, this gives our wholesale offerings, especially our hosted email service, something unique in the marketplace. It took over 10 years for NetIdentity to build this incredible portfolio of surnames.
