If he says he intends to pony up the cash, he will. Rather, he has. Where do you think they got the $ to buy LiveUniverse.com?

<< ...Terms of the transaction were not available, but it is the first deal for Rare Medium since it received an infusion of $75 million from investment firm Apollo Management last week.... >>


RRRR has not got the 75 million. If they have already got the money, they would have revealed the exact terms of the deal.

The clip that you have quoted is from a third party news source who has obviously made a mistake.

Read the company press release -

This is the first deal Rare Medium Group (RMGI) has announced since signing a letter of intent last week with Apollo Management under which affiliates of Apollo plan to invest $75 million of equity into Rare Medium. That transaction is intended to transform Rare Medium into a one-stop provider of venture capital, Internet solutions and professional services.

As for the question of how they have funded the acquisition, have you looked at the # of acquisitions it has announced/closed this year. There are several small acquisitions. I am assuming that the LiveUniverse.com will be a all stock deal.

Regards.
Rajiv
