VALLEY CENTER, CA / September 19, 2016 / Concierge Technologies, Inc. (CNCG) (the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with Wainwright Holdings Inc. (“Wainwright”) and certain shareholders of Wainwright to acquire shares of Wainwright representing approximately 97% of the issued and outstanding shares.  Prior to the closing, the Company intends to make offers to acquire the remaining shares.  If the Company acquires 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Wainwright, based on a valuation of $85 million and a per share price of Company common stock of $0.0845, the Company will issue 818,799,976 shares of Company common stock and 9,354,118.85 shares of Company preferred stock in exchange for the Wainwright shares.

Wainwright was formed as the holding company of Ameristock Corporation, an investment adviser formed in 1995 by Nicholas Gerber, Andrew Ngim, and Robert Nguyen, as the adviser to The Ameristock Mutual Fund, a large cap equity fund.  Wainwright owns United States Commodity Funds LLC (“USCF”), a Commodity Futures Commission registered commodity pool operator, and USCF Advisers LLC(“Advisers”), a Securities and Exchange Commission  registered investment advisor, who together have over $4.5 billion in assets under management spread across 12 exchange traded products and funds including United States Oil Fund (ticker USO), United States Natural Gas Fund (ticker UNG), United States Commodity Index Fund (ticker USCI), United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (UNG), United States 12 Month Oil Fund, LP (USL), United States Gasoline Fund, LP (UGA), United States 12 Month Natural Gas Fund, LP (UNL), United State Brent Oil Fund, LP (BNO), United States Short Oil Fund, LP (DNO), United States Diesel-Heating Oil Fund, LP (UHN), United States Copper Index Fund (CPER) and United States Agriculture Index Fund (USAG), and the Stock Split Index Fund (ticker TOFR).

Nicholas Gerber, CEO and principal shareholder of Concierge Technologies and Wainwright commented, “I am exceptionally happy to finally bring together Wainwright and Concierge.  It is a deal I have been dreaming about for some time that will align the overlapping interests of the principal shareholders of both Concierge and Wainwright all in one place for the first time ever.  Once this is done, we can grow both companies by expanding our current businesses and by looking for other profitable established firms with management in place that have a need for ownership change.  Actions speak louder than words.  It is one thing to say Concierge is a good home for firms, it is another to show it by actually bringing Wainwright into it.”

The planned acquisition remains contingent upon various conditions being met before closing, including the receipt of an independent valuation and fairness opinion for the benefit of the Concierge shareholders, the approval by Concierge shareholders, and the receipt by the selling Wainwright shareholders of certain information from Concierge, as well as meeting regulatory requirements that are usual and customary for transactions of this nature.  The steps required to close the transaction are expected to happen before the end of 2016.

As a result of the transaction, current shareholders of Wainwright will become shareholders of Concierge.  Mr. Gerber, along with certain family members and certain other Wainwright shareholders, currently own the majority of shares in Concierge as well as Wainwright.  Following the closing of this transaction, he and those shareholders will continue to own the majority of Concierge voting shares.
