On October 14, 2011, Ortsbo's parent, Intertainment Media Inc. published its Corporate Update for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and commented that in the past year, management and the board have rejected 2 independent offers for Ortsbo to effectively divest primary ownership of Ortsbo. The US investment market for social media acquisitions and public offerings continues to grow. The investment markets have seen highly successful IPO debuts of several social media companies and the much anticipated potential IPOs for Zynga and Facebook are continual newsworthy items.
Given the performance of Ortsbo, management and the board feel that the current overall corporate and shareholder value does not reflect the enterprise value of the sum of the divisions, especially Ortsbo. The Company is currently reviewing strategy and opportunities where Intertainment will potentially unlock maximum valuation for Ortsbo while retaining significant ownership and future benefits from the continual growth and performance in the program while potentially creating a special dividend for shareholders, rewarding them for the continual support of the Company. The Company will report on these efforts in due course.
