Growing provider of self-directed alternative asset retirement plans to go public
through a reverse acquisition
Miami, FL , Dec. 04, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Non-Invasive Monitoring Services, Inc. (OTCBB: NIMU.OB) (the
“Company” or “NIMS”), IRA Financial Group LLC and IRA Financial Trust Company (collectively, “IRA Financial”) announced today that
they have entered into an agreement to combine in a reverse acquisition transaction.
IRA Financial, a financial technology provider of self-directed retirement plans, was established in 2009 by its
CEO, Adam Bergman, a former tax and ERISA attorney. IRA Financial has helped more than 12,000 retirement account clients invest in
excess of $3 billion of retirement funds, including in alternative asset investments such as real estate, cryptocurrency and
private businesses.
Under the terms of the agreement, upon closing, the current shareholders of NIMS and IRA Financial will own 15%
and 85% of the combined company, respectively, on a fully diluted basis. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter
of 2019 and, in addition to customary closing conditions, is subject to the approval of the South Dakota Division of Banking and a
recaptialization of NIMS involving the completion of a $1.25 million equity financing and the conversion of NIMS’ outstanding
preferred stock and debt into NIMS common stock. Upon competion of the transaction, Adam Bergman would become the Company’s CEO and
President.
Commenting on the transaction, NIMS Chair, Jane Hsiao, stated, “We believe that IRA Financial is uniquely
positioned to become a leading financial technology company through its offering of retirement accounts and administrative services
that facilitate investments in asset opportunities not typically offered in traditional IRA and retirement plans. Moreover,
alternative asset investments is currently one of the fastest growing segments of the retirement market.”
Adam Bergman added, “Based on our reputation, expertise and new digital application, we believe that we can take
advantage of the growing alternative asset marketplace for retirement funds by allowing our clients to establish self-directed
retirement accounts seamlessly, rollover funds, and initiate investments, all online or via smart phone. We are extremely excited
for the future at IRA Financial, and we believe that with access to the public capital markets we will be better able to take
advantage of growth opportunities presented by the fragmented self-directed IRA and pension administration industries.”
Bergman continued, “With over 50 million IRAs in the United States valued at over $9 trillion dollars and with
an overall U.S. retirement industry valued at approximately $30 trillion dollars, we believe there are enormous organic and
strategic growth opportunities in the self-directed retirement industry, especially with 10,000 baby boomers currently retiring
each day and approximately $380 billion in IRA rollovers each year between 2012 and 2017.”
