iBrands Corporation Announces Ooploo.com Explores Public Option

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) - iBrands Corporation (OTC Pink: IBRC) (PINKSHEETS: IBRC), www.ibrandscorporation.com, is pleased to announce that ooploo.com, one of Hatchbrands Ventures portfolio companies, is exploring a public option.

Ooploo.com, www.ooploo.com, is a mobile app developer currently serving the telco, carrier and pharmaceutical industries. The company's products include Ooploo SIP, Ooploo KYP (Keep Your Customer) and Ooploo POS, in addition to Applications development and web services.

Ooploo CEO, Jon Felske, stated: "Our revenues have increased more than 100% in 2013 and we believe our growth in 2014 will be similar if not greater. It is key for us to accelerate our business through a strategic infusion of capital in order to grow. A number of companies in our space have successfully raised capital through a listing on the OTCQB, and we believe this route could be viable for us as well."

"One of Hatchbrands exit strategies is to assist its portfolio companies to go public," states Marco Janeczek, Venture Partner for Hatchbrands Ventures, "thereby providing iBrands with a potential substantial return on investment."

Ooploo has indicated that a decision will be made in the near future.
