GAWK Completes Acquisition of Connexum, Nearly Triples Annual Revenue

LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 2, 2016) - GAWK Inc. (OTC PINK: GAWK) CEO Scott Kettle announced today that the Company has acquired Connexum LLC (www.connexum.com) bringing the Company's annual revenue up from $2 million to just under $6 million.

Scott Kettle, CEO of GAWK, noted, "This marks the third acquisition by GAWK, after adding WebRunners, Inc. (www.webrunners.com) Irvine, CA-based data center, on October 31, 2014, and asset purchase of NetD Consulting, Inc. (www.netdinc.com) on May 1, 2015 within our strategy of growth through acquisition. With this acquisition, Gawk has achieved bottom line profitability. Connexum's robust position in the VoIP sector will nearly triple our revenue, and gives GAWK greater scope within our cloud-communication services marketplace."

"We now are also a Full Service business class telecom provider, providing Hosted PBX services, competing directly with 8X8, Vonage, and other market leaders," Kettle continued. "Our new software development team will accelerate our time to market with new, innovative features and customized solutions that our customers need, now and into the future."

With respect to additional acquisitions, Kettle said, "We are moving forward with negotiations for several data centers we have identified in the Midwest and on the East Coast. We have announced recently a series of important customer wins, and our business plan calls for a national chain of GAWK data centers, and expanding internationally from there."

Jonathan Walker, GAWK's new Vice President of Operations, Voice Division, said, "Aligning Connexum with GAWK is designed to make our combined companies a top competitor in all aspects of VOIP telecommunications. Our strong management team is a harbinger for our future success."

The Company filed its quarterly report with the Securities & Exchange Commission on December 17, 2015, in which GAWK reported that year to date revenue was significantly higher, up 1089%, for the first nine months of 2015, over the same period in 2014.
