The new product allows iOS users to send custom, JibJab style dancing and singing characters--personalized with your own head--to friends. The free app lets users take a selfie of themselves, trim out their face, and insert that into any one of a large library of animated GIFs, and send those via text, Facebook, or Twitter. http://www.socaltech.com/jibjab_takes_on_instant_messages/s-0057182.html Advanstar Acquired For $972M By UBM ---- Santa Monica-based Advanstar Communications, a trade show and conference operator serving the fashion, licensing, life sciences, and power sports industries, has been acquired by UBM plc, in a deal worth $972M. According to Advanstar Communicaitons, the deal was funded by an investor group that includes Anchorage Capital Group LLC, Veronis Suhler Stevenson, as well as funds managed by the Tradable Credit Group at Ares Management L.P. Advanstar was advised by Goldman Sachs & Co. and Moelis & Company, along with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and Slaughter and May in the deal. UBM was advised by J.P. Morgan Cazenove, as well as Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP. UBM runs the well known Game Developers Conference. CoreLogic Sells Two Business Units ---- Irvine-based residential property information provider CoreLogic said Tuesday that it has sold two of its business units to Mortgage Contracting Services, LLC. According to CoreLogic, it sold its Collateral Solutions and Field Services business units to MCS in a deal worth $25M at closing, plus up to $20M in earnout contingent on performance thresholds. Component Search Targets Electronic, Mechanical Part Searches ---- Los Angeles-based Component Search International, a new startup focused on the design engineering market, said today that it has launched its services, billing itself a "Google for Components". The company, headed by Joe Bilotta, said the new site has over 800 suppliers, 15 million unique parts, and 350 million data sheets, and is hoping to solve the current issue of re-marked and counterfeit parts. The electronic and mechanical component industry is surprisingly fragmented, with no single source of the parts that go into many electronics products; finding parts--which change frequently and go out of production often--is a major challenge in manufacturing and operations. http://www.socaltech.com/component_search_targets_part_searches/s-0057183.html Aerie Pharmaceuticals Completes $125M Financing ---- Newport Beach-based pharmaceuticals developer Aerie Pharmaceuticals said late Tuesday that it has completed its $125M, convertible note financing from Deerfield Management Company. The financing deal had been announced earlier in the month. Aerie Pharmaceuticals is focused on the development and commercialization of treatments for glaucoma. The company said the new funds are expected to fund its known clinical requirements for its lead compounds, and will also go towards general corporate purposes and strategic growth. Aerie is publicly listed on the NASDAQ as AERI. Conversant Names New Executive ---- Westlake Village-based Conversant, the online advertising firm which is in the midst of being acquired by Alliance Data, said Tuesday that it has named Jim Rund as its new Chief Revenue Officer for its media business. Rund--who will be based in Chicago--joined the company from Catalina (now owned by Berkshire Partners), and also has served at General Mills. Conversant was formerly known as ValueClick, and offers up a wide range of online advertising products and services. It's Official: Metacloud Now Part Of Cisco ---- Pasadena-based Metacloud is now officially part of Cisco, the companies said Monday, with Metacloud joining Cisco's Cloud Infrastructure and Managed Services organization. MetaCloud provides implementation and management of OpenStack-based clouds for enterprise customers. Financial terms of the acquisition--which was announced earlier this month--have not been announced. Metacloud was venture backed by AME Cloud Ventures, Canaan Partners, Pelion Venture Partners, Silicon Valley Bank, Storm Ventures, and UMC Capital. AeroVironment Wins $27.2M Army Contract ---- Monrovia, California-based unmanned aerial vehicle maker AeroVironment reported Tuesday that it has scored a $27.2M contract award from the U.S. Army, for spare parts for its RQ-11B Raven and RQ-20A Puma AE unmanned aircraft systems. The company said it expects to deliver those parts to the U.S. Army within the next 12 months. The company said the new order brings its total spare parts and upgrades to $77.6. AeroVironment's drones are used for tactical and security efforts by the military. Move Acquired By News Corp. ---- Move, Inc., the operator of the Realtor.com, Move.com, and other related real estate businesses, is being acquired by News Corp., in a deal worth approximately $950M, the two companies said this morning. Move has operations in the Thousand Oaks, California area, although it is now based in San Jose. According to the two, News Corp. will pay $21.00 per share for Move Inc. Move had revenues of $227M for its year ended December 31, 2013. Move will become an operating business of News Corp., and will remain headquartered in San Jose. The company was started in Thousand Oaks in 1993, and now has 913 employees. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- MARKETPLACE Reach 10000+ readers for 5 days for $250 Post your marketplace ad at: http://www.socaltech.com/postad.html ------------------------------ADVERTISEMENT------------------------------- SAM Congratulates Beats Music and Beats Electronics Stubbs Alderton & Markiles, LLP would like to congratulate long time client Beats Electronics and Beats Music in their acquisition by Apple, Inc.
