Management Q&A Webinar This Thursday,

January 28th at 12:30 PM PT

Boustead Securities, LLC (“Boustead”) presents its latest Pre-IPO offering, Acres Technology, Inc. (“Acres”). Acres is a Nevada-based company focusing on deploying patented cashless casino technologies to enable more efficient casino operations, led by experienced gaming technology and operations executives.


Acres Technology’s subscription-as-a-service (SAAS) platform aims to enable money transfers directly from players bank account’s to gaming machines, eliminating the need for casinos to handle cash. We believe the exclusion of cash from casinos has a potential two-fold benefit by decreasing potential Covid-19 vectors while also creating operational efficiencies. Additionally, electronic cash transfers potentially allow casinos to view player behavior data in real time instead of waiting for end of day cash balancing.



Acres Technology’s management team has previously founded and sold three gaming technology companies, including Electronic Data Technology, Mikohn Gaming, and Acres Gaming, the last of which sold to International Game Technology for $143M in 2003.


On founding a fourth casino technology company, John Acres, Co-Founder and Chairman of Acres Technology, remarked “Amazon is doing some amazing things with data, and I realized that casinos could benefit from that same sort of technology. And that the technology casinos were using wasn’t keeping pace with what Amazon is doing.”


WEBINAR

Please join John Acres, Co-Founder and Chairman, and Ed Stevenson, President and CEO, for a Q&A Webinar this Thursday, January 28th at 12:30 PM PT as they discuss current trends in the casino gaming industry and how the prevalence of Covid-19 is driving casinos to seek cashless solutions.

Boustead's CD-Based Robert Rubin Presents: 'How New PPP Guidance From The SBA Could Impact Mergers and Acquisitions' Hosted by Octane's Ignite Series

On Wednesday, November 11th, Boustead Securities, LLC's ("Boustead"), Washington, DC-based Senior Managing Director, Robert N. Rubin, leads the Octane Ignite Series webinar:


Wednesday, November 11 12:00 PM—12:45 PM PT


PPP loans have been a lifeline for many businesses during the current economic downturn caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. Many PPP loan recipients are still experiencing financial distress and are grappling with what the future may hold. We are seeing a marked pick up in owners of businesses with revenues of $10-50 million across a wide array of industry segments, who are now seriously considering a sale as the best path to maximize and realize enterprise value.

New guidance from the SBA regarding PPP loan recipients could potentially add time and complexity to the M&A process. These requirements need to be understood early in the transaction process by both buyers and sellers to avoid the potential for undermining the goals of both parties.
