Dallas News: dallasnews.com Mark Cuban takes on concert CD venture
11:04 AM CST on Wednesday, January 25, 2006 By CRAYTON HARRISON / The Dallas Morning News
An investment firm owned by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has agreed to buy a controlling stake in a Richardson-based company that sells CD recordings of live concerts minutes after the performances conclude.
Mr. Cuban’s firm, Radical Holdings LP, will pay $3 million, or about 68 cents per share, for shares representing about 95 percent of Immediatek Inc.’s outstanding shares, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The transaction is expected to close in February.
Immediatek, led by chief executive Zach Bair, provides the concert CDs through its subsidiary DiscLive, acquired in 2004 for $833,000.
Mr. Bair and chief operating officer Paul Marin will remain with the company in their current positions, Immediatek said.
Mr. Cuban did not immediately respond to an e-mail Wednesday. Mr. Bair declined to comment.
Email From Company CEO 1/26/06:
Hi Art,
DiscLive will continue to operate and will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Immediatek. Mark's company is bringing a huge investment into Immediatek/DiscLive, and we are very excited that now we will be able to fully build out our business model.
At this time, however, I can't discuss anything further, but I can say that our company has an exciting future!
Best,
Zach
