Imperus Technologies Corp, a specialist in social networking, mobile and real-money gaming, has completed its acquisition of social gaming company Akamon Entertainment Millennium.
Akamon is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Imperus, which will continue to operate the Akamon business and the company’s existing business lines. The Akamon management team will include the existing Akamon senior officers.
In September, Imperus announced that it had agreed a deal to acquire Akamon for $25.6 million (€23.8 million).
“We are thrilled to close the acquisition of Akamon,” Imperus chief executive officer James Lanthier said.
“We believe that Akamon and [US-facing business] Diwip complement one another strategically, in terms of technology, processes, people, and games. We are eager to begin the process of optimising our combined business as we continue to grow and scale Imperus.”
Vicenç Martí, the CEO of Akamon CEO, added: “My team and I are very happy to join the Imperus organisation.
“Adding our leadership in Southern Europe and Latin America in social casino to the existing North American customer base of Imperus is a step in the right direction of creating the first truly global, publicly quoted social casino company in the industry.”
