Exhibit 99.1
Tiger Media Announces Name Change to IDI, Inc.
BOCA RATON, Fla.—May 1, 2015—Tiger Media, Inc. (NYSE MKT: IDI), a multi-platform media and information solutions provider, today announced that on April 30, 2015, the Company changed its name to IDI, Inc., an acronym for “Interactive Data Intelligence”. The Company’s stock will continue to trade on the NYSE MKT under the symbol “IDI”.
The new name reflects the Company’s evolution into the multi-billion dollar data fusion space following its acquisition of The Best One, Inc., parent company of U.S.-based data solutions provider Interactive Data, LLC on March 21, 2015, and the successful build-out of its technology team located in Seattle, WA.
Along with the name change, the Company is undergoing an extensive rebranding campaign to introduce and highlight the market-leading innovation and perspective IDI brings to the marketplace. As an initial step in the rebranding process, a more well-defined and visible brand will first be introduced through a new website to be available in the coming weeks.
Mr. Derek Dubner, Co-CEO of IDI, Inc. stated, “IDI is entering the data fusion space at a point in time when existing technologies are becoming dated and there is an addressable need for enhanced systems to support increased customer demand. Having completed the strategic acquisition of Interactive Data and the rebuild of our management team and infrastructure, we believe we have an immediate opportunity to enter a number of high-growth markets with today’s most advanced data intelligence offerings. Our focus going forward is to leverage our next-generation data fusion platform to become the information solutions leader for the risk management industry and a provider of cutting-edge marketing analytics for all industries. We believe our new brand will resonate with shareholders and the marketplace, representing what IDI truly stands for today and the path forward.”
For purposes of trading on the NYSE MKT, the Company will begin trading under the name “IDI, Inc.” on May 4, 2015, with a new CUSIP of 44938L 108.
