Cuentas Acquires 19.99% of Cuentas SDI LLC (SDI Black 011)

Cuentas paid $750k and was granted an option to purchase the remaining 80.01% for $2.46 million

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 2, 2022 / Cuentas, Inc. (NASDAQ:CUEN & CUENW) ("Cuentas"), a leading fintech provider of mobile financial app and payment solutions has completed the acquisition of 19.99% of Cuentas SDI LLC, owner of SDI Black011 assets. Cuentas paid $750,000 for the minority stake in the company with the ability to acquire the remaining 80.01% within the next 90 days for $2.46 million.

SDI is a leading prepaid portal and digital provider with a nationwide retail distribution network which produced revenue over $8.2 million in 2021. The purchase agreement gives Cuentas a 40% share of all revenues generated by Cuentas SDI during the upcoming 90 day period and 20% if its equity position remains the same.

"Cuentas has already begun leveraging the 31,600 bodegas and convenience stores as well as the proprietary platform," said Cuentas CEO Jeff Johnson. "This purchase will continue to support growth of our fintech offerings and expand the reach of the Cuentas GPR debit card and digital wallet."

The SDI-Cuentas brands already have a large database of subscribers who purchase services, via the Black011.com website and digital portal. This allows Cuentas to tap into one of the largest distribution channels for prepaid wireless services and digital content in the US.

As part of the due diligence process, the SDI Black011 asset valuation was set at $6.6M. Cuentas retains the option to purchase the remaining 80.01% of all assets within the next 90 days. Cuentas is studying the possibility of upgrading a select number of prime bodega locations to offer POS systems with enhanced financial services.
