“We’re extremely excited about this potential combination and what it may mean for our next phase of growth as we execute our acquisition strategy to expand our presence in the U.S. and Canada,” said Jeff Young, President of iLOOKABOUT. “The ability to integrate our sales and technology under a single platform will establish the combined entity as the foremost data software supplier to the real estate industry and will bring immediate synergies between our two companies. Led by seasoned industry veteran Carlos Grass, Stratus brings a commitment to continuous improvement with their best-in-class MLS technology, which will benefit our clients.”

“This is the logical next step in a collaboration that began more than 17 years ago, and is a natural fit for Stratus and our customers as we continue to evolve our MLS platform and broaden our capabilities in North America,” said Carlos Grass, Chief Executive Officer of Stratus. “Levering their extensive experience and a significant foothold in real estate, iLOOKABOUT’s management team have proven their ability to develop differentiated products that address the unmet needs of both public and private industry stakeholders. We look forward to working together to maximize product and business development opportunities.”

Pursuant to the terms of the non-binding LOI, Stratus will continue to operate as its own business unit under the leadership of Mr. Grass, as a wholly owned subsidiary of iLOOKABOUT. The completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of various conditions, including but not limited to, (i) agreement of terms and the execution of a definitive agreement by iLOOKABOUT and Stratus; (ii) receipt of all requisite regulatory, stock exchange, and governmental authorizations and consents; (iii) the approval by the shareholders of iLOOKABOUT to complete the Proposed Transaction, if required; and (iv) the completion of satisfactory due diligence by iLOOKABOUT.
