Pro Music Rights Goes Public

ProMusicRightgs

Music is a universal language that transcends boundaries and draws together people of all cultures. When musicians collaborate on compositions they share the magic of sound and song as an embodiment of human expression. With such a deep sentimentality involved with music, many artists have found it hard to turn down lucrative offers from big companies for their songs. However, with recent changes in copyright laws, this may be changing.

In what might be the most exciting news for indie artists in recent memory, Pro Music Rights has gone public. This is huge for competition in the industry, and big news for artists everywhere looking to get paid.

Pro Music Rights Goes Public: What Does This Mean?

This means that any independent artist who wants to sell their music rights as a business can now do so. And it's not just about getting your song on iTunes or Spotify; it's about earning royalties, keeping control of your work, and marketing yourself. We're living in an era where music is going digital and everyone has access to production software at no additional cost.

Who Was Involved In The Reverse Merger?:

The reverse merger was between Pro Music and a shell company called Nuvus Gro Corp. (a company incorporated in the United States that was created through the reverse merger of two other Canadian companies). Pro Music issued shares to Nuvus Gro Corp. shareholders and became the "public" part of the entity, whereas Nuvus Gro Corp became the "private" part.

The most controversial aspect of the transaction relates to who actually owns the Pro Music Rights.

Pro Music Rights has been owned by a Swiss corporation (NMCG SA). However, this company is "located" in Switzerland, but it does not currently have an office there. Records available at public record offices in Geneva show no evidence of any Swiss corporation existing under that name at all.

What Is The New Company Like, What Services Do They Offer?:

Pro Music Rights is a passionate, purpose-driven business with no affiliation with any major record label. Our vision as artists and entrepreneurs is to give you control over your intellectual property and create value for our artists through licensing their music.

We are a young company, but what separates us from many other companies out there is that we have the ability to adapt quickly and make sure that the entire process from start to finish is truly beneficial for our artists.

We are currently working on building out our technology platform for publishing rights and international streaming royalties. This will enable us to move forward with licensing deals and marketing campaigns to bring more artists on board.

Our company represents a unique value proposition for artists and music fans alike because we are currently the only company that has made the transition from being a business exclusively focused on the publishing rights of music, to a fully integrated content creation and distribution platform.

Is The Stock A Good Buy?

The new business model seems to be paying off. The company's shares were up 44% in their first three days of trading, closing at $1.25 on NYSE on Thursday, February 5th. With Pro Music Rights now public, many industry insiders are excited about the company's future prospects.

All You Need To Know About Hypebeast Reverse Merger

Hypebeast

If you love sneakers and streetwear, you might be well-versed with Hypebeast. This is a Hong Kong-based company that manufactures sneakers and streetwear. It is a household name in Hong Kong and the entire East Asia region. The 16-year old company is better-known for setting the standards in the streetwear fashion industry, but it's also involved in technology, sports, art and food. The company prides itself in identifying emerging trends in culture and lifestyle to create an eco-system that promotes cultural discovery and connection.

Hypebeast Reverse Merger

The company is planning to list on the Nasdaq by merging a SPAC with an already-listed company Iron Spark. The merger will see the new entity listed on the Nasdaq with an already-identified ticker "HYPE". Merging a profitable or high-potential company with a public company that is not doing so well is the cheapest way of taking a company public. This is because the cost of taking a company public through an IPO is beyond the reach of many businesses. Through the merging of the SPAC and the public company, Hypebeast will become a publicly-listed company. It is important to note that the company is already listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, so it will be dual listed on the two major exchanges.

What Products and Services Does the Company Offer?

Founded by Kevin Ma in 2005, Hypebeast was originally just a sneaker blog. The company has now grown to be an e-commerce and digital media company that focuses on lifestyle, culture and fashion. It mainly focuses on streetwear fashion. The company has grown to become one of the trend-setters in Hong Kong.

Who is Involved in the SPAC?

The Hypebeast Reverse merger deal is backed by a star-studded pool of investors, including Naomi Osaka - the tennis star, Tom Brady - the famous quarterback, Kevin Durant - NBA star, Rich Kleiman, Adam Levine, Joe Gebbia and Tony Hawk among other stars.

In New Reverse Merger Circle Doubles Valuation to $9B

Circle

Circle has doubled its valuation after inking a deal with blank-check company Concord. Concord is the latest so-called Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) - another name for a blank-check company or shell company - to agree a reverse merger with a crypto firm.

Circle, the cryptocurrency startup backed by Goldman Sachs, has agreed to a merger with blank-check company Concord. The deal will value Circle at $3B and the combined market cap of the new entity is expected to be $9B.

Financing of all types has been tough this year, but companies still need to grow. It’s a strange paradox that’s led to explosion of SPACs taking companies public through reverse mergers. TechCrunch understands that one of the latest big private tech companies to ink a deal with a SPAC is Circle, the crypto financial services and stable coin provider that boasts major institutional clients like Goldman Sachs, and is part of the Blockchain Association.

The Unique StableCoin

Circle, a United States-based company, is another popular option for Crypto users in search of a stablecoin. Circle has an especially unique approach to its Stablecoin when compared to other coins, including Tether. Circle takes the stance that transparency helps reassure users that the USD-pegged coin is legitimate. As a result, it opted to undergo frequent third-party audits from regulators and make the results available for public viewing.

Public Auditing by Armanino

After launching a US dollars-backed Stablecoin in September 2019, Circle has partnered with the Florida-based auditing firm Armanino to conduct bi-quarterly audits on its fully reserved dollar tokens.

Triller Reverse Merger: An Exciting Venture

Triller Reverse Merger

When there was talk of inroads towards a reverse merger between Triller and SeaChange International, a lot of people didn't realize what was actually taking place. Much of the cynicism and confusion of major shareholders was largely around what exactly a reverse merger is, and the consequences which would follow from such a drastic move. So when a private company like Triller finally mergers with it's counterpart -a publicly owned enterprise- in a deal that is earmarked for the first quarter of 2022, this will have the effect of the former being listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, a move that is set to increase it's market dominance. The creation of the combined entity now aptly known as TrillerVerz Corp has it's primary focus being the broadening of its marketing and advertising abilities by venturing into satellite, cable and OTT media in a bid to break into the Gen Z market.

Diversification As A Driver For Long-term Growth

The primary driver behind the merger is to build and consolidate the creators industry by mainly focusing on monetization and distribution of engaging and stimulating content. The advent of TikTok's almost meteoric rise is what inspired the merger, as the younger generation has completely distanced itself from mainstream music and film companies, to create their own opportunities for making their diverse talents known by the greater world community. So when all is said and done, the Triller reverse merger is set to reinvent the impetus behind universal stardom. For what its worth, Triller aired a virtual hip hop competition sponsored by world renowned Pepsi, which was advertising its novel wild cherry flavored cola.

Guerrilla RF Reverse Merger

GRF-logo@2x

Guerrilla RF conducted a reverse merger with Laffin Acquisition Corp, a public Delaware firm, and became a Laffin subsidiary.
Following the transaction, Laffin renamed itself 'Guerrilla RF Inc,' and will continue to operate as Guerrilla RF did previously.

What does Guerrilla RF Produce

Guerrilla RF supplies wireless OEMs with high-performance monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) for a variety of applications, including 5G/4G macro and small cell base stations, cellular repeaters/DAS, automobile telematics, and machine-to-machine (M2M) systems.

Guerrilla RF’s MMICs enable its customers to increase the capacity of their networks with superior spectral efficiency and improved reliability. These MMICs are used in cellular base stations for both current 4G/LTE networks, as well as for 5G macro and small cell applications around the globe. This is accomplished through Guerrilla’s patented Sigma-Sigma modulation technology and high linearity architecture.

Guerrilla’s solutions also support all mobile broadband standards, including: 2G, 3G, 4G and most importantly, 5G.

Why a Reverse Merger

In a reverse merger, a private company merges with a publicly traded shell company. In so doing, the private company acquires a publicly traded stock with a liquid trading price. The key advantages of a reverse merger over an IPO are: lower cost, greater speed, and potentially larger share price increase resulting from a better performing public shell company. A shareholder of the private company continues to control the resulting public company.

A reverse merger has similarities to an initial purchase offering (IPO) (in the sense that some securities exchanges allow some companies to be listed on an exchange through an APO) and to a forward merger (in the sense that the resulting company is publicly traded).

Who much was raised in the Guerrilla RF public transaction

Guerrilla RF has secured more than $7 million through a private placement offering and a reverse merger transaction.

Following the issuance of the first tranche of securities in May, Guerrilla RF closed on an additional $6.5 million through the issuance of convertible notes payable. During the same time, the company completed its reverse merger transaction with Guerrilla Acquisition Corp., which resulted in the creation of public company Guerrilla RF, Inc.

How is the semiconductor market in 2021

Right today, the semiconductor market is quite strong.

In the semiconductor business, there are well-publicized supply chain issues, but we expect those challenges to be minimized and, hopefully, overcome by 2022.

There are several major factors that make our current market conditions conducive for investing in this sector. First, the industry is transitioning from NAND to 3D NAND, which has increased investment in capital expenditures for semiconductor manufacturers. Second, the recent increase in the amount of DRAM production capacity has not created a surplus in DRAM products on the open market. Third, China is increasing their semiconductor manufacturing capacities through advanced manufacturing facilities. The influx of global manufacturing capacity has lowered prices of memory semiconductors. Prices are expected to remain low for memory semiconductors through at least 2022 due to continued increases in supply chain capacity.
