Form 8-K for COMMERCE PLANET
17-Dec-2008
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement, Creation of a Direct Financial Obliga
Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
As previously reported by Commerce Planet, Inc. (the "Company") in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 18, 2008, effective as of September 16, 2008, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Legacy Media, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Legacy"), and Consumer Loyalty Group, LLC, a California limited liability company ("CLG" and collectively with Legacy, the "Sellers"), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Superfly Advertising, Inc. (F/K/A Morlex, Inc.), a Delaware corporation ("Superfly Parent") and its wholly-owned subsidiary Superfly Advertising, Inc., an Indiana corporation (the "Purchaser"). Under the Purchase Agreement the Purchaser agreed, on the closing date, to (i) acquire from the Sellers substantially all of the assets related to the business of Internet advertising and marketing conducted by the Sellers (the "Business"), and (ii) assume certain specified liabilities of the Sellers in connection with the Business, subject to certain terms and conditions (the "Acquisition").
On December 16, 2008, the Company, the Sellers, Superfly Parent and the Purchaser entered into an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement") under which, among other things, the purchase price for the Acquisition was revised to $825,000 in cash and 4,500,000 shares ("Shares") of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Superfly Parent. The cash portion of the purchase price is payable as follows: (i) $125,000 was paid upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement (the "Deposit"),
(ii) $200,000 will be deemed to be paid at closing by the forgiveness of $200,000 of indebtedness of the Company evidenced by a $200,000 loan funded by Superfly Parent to the Company on or about September 23, 2008 (the "Loan"),
(iii) $300,000 less the amount of interest accrued on the Loan as of the closing date shall be paid at the closing, and (iv) $200,000 shall be paid in equal monthly installments for 6 months commencing on the last day of the month following the closing. The Shares, valued at $0.75 per share, shall be issued on the closing date; provided that, 2,250,000 of the Shares will not be resold, transferred or otherwise distributed by the Company until the investigation or any proceedings of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC Proceedings") against the Company are settled. If the FTC Proceedings are not settled on or before 6 months from the closing date, Superfly Parent may demand the return of all or a portion of such 2,250,000 Shares. In addition, the Purchase Agreement was revised to reflect that the Company will be obtaining shareholder approval of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition, and the transactions contemplated therein by shareholder consent rather than by soliciting proxies and holding a special meeting of shareholders.
The closing is expected to occur as soon as practicable, but in any event by March 31, 2009. However, there can be no assurances that the Acquisition will be consummated.
The foregoing is a summary of certain material terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, the foregoing is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K in Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated herein by reference.

Commerce Planet Announces Plan to Spin-Off Its eCommerce Business
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/081112/20081112006061.html?.v=1
GOLETA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Commerce Planet, Inc. (OTCBB:CPNE - News) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously authorized management to pursue a plan to separate its eCommerce business by spinning off the business now known as Iventa into an independent publicly-traded company. The spin-off will be accomplished through a one-time share distribution to Commerce Planet shareholders in the spring of 2009.
The new independent company, to be formally named at a later date, will be a leading provider of eCommerce solutions in the entertainment, community networking and small business markets. Iventa currently serves enterprise clients in the lifestyle and entertainment markets, including SonyBMG, Rhino Records, Warner Music Group, Technicolor and numerous clubs, associations, and unique business verticals. In addition, Iventa has entered into strategic negotiations to merge with VComm Network, Inc. to provide the eCommerce solutions for trusted vendor processing of orders, branded marketing, downloads, dues, subscriptions, and online tuition/housing payment processes in the collegiate, faith-based, entertainment and professional organizations markets.
VComm Network serves many lifestyle and social verticals, and owns one of the fastest growing organizationally linked social networks, www.chaptercommunications.com, which serves millions of fraternity and sorority member-users through organization websites and the top two Greek Facebook applications The Greek Community and Greek Family Tree.
Newly Formed Spin-Off Iventa (NI)
Upon completion of the spin-off of New Iventa (NI), Commerce Planet shareholders are expected to receive one share of NI for every 20 held in Commerce Planet, Inc. NI will have approximately 1.5 million shares outstanding. New Iventa will be headquartered in Los Angeles and is expected to be listed on the OTCBB markets upon completion of the registration filings. Further information will be released as details of the plan are adopted by the Company and the Board of Directors.
Anthony Roth, President and Chief Executive Officer of Commerce Planet, stated, “This planned spin-off will result in the creation of a new business with a leading technology driven position in the lifestyle and entertainment markets. We believe this transaction will meaningfully enhance value for shareholders because it will enable our eCommerce business to pursue its own distinct strategic initiatives and significant growth opportunities with a sharpened focus. For example, by being strategically focused, NI will be able to attract and allocate growth capital and pursue mergers and acquisitions.”
Roth further stated, “This proposed spin-off will enable NI to further grow its uniquely positioned eCommerce solutions and differentiate its value proposition as a true technology sector, internet service provider. We believe that eCommerce and online marketing is trending significantly toward the trusted community networking arena. By merging with VComm Network’s tools and services, NI will be well positioned to be the leading service provider for the fast growing, target rich and highly sought-after marketing and sales channel of unique member-user base in lifestyle and entertainment social networks.”

YesMail_ March 2008 - Press Release.
Impressive success that should help CPNE!
Yesmail recognized for innovative development practices
Google's Web Toolkit is a key ingredient in Yesmail's development mix
OMAHA, NE, March 11, 2008 — For Yesmail® (an infoUSA®company, [NASDAQ: IUSA]), a recognized industry-leading provider of permission-based online email marketing solutions, 2007 was not only a year of tremendous growth but also a coming-out party in many respects as the company unveiled two new platforms and a significant re-release of its primary Enterprise offering. The products speak for themselves, however it is what is behind these technology advancements that has catapulted Yesmail into the technology leadership position among email service providers. In addition to modern software design concepts, agile development processes and an iterative product management approach, Yesmail is pushing the envelope by utilizing cutting edge development tools.
Last year concluded with several milestones for Yesmail, including a leader ranking in the Forrester Q4 2007 Email Marketing Service Provider Wave Report. Julie Katz, lead analyst for email marketing at Forrester wrote, "A rebuilt platform and iterative development processes earn Yesmail a Leader slot in Forrester's evaluation of email marketing service providers." The report also called out Yesmail's iterative development process using Agile enabled the company to release new features every two weeks.
In 2006 Yesmail selected Google's Web Toolkit as the framework that would enable innovation and best-in-class technology development. Google Web Toolkit (GWT) is an open source Java software development framework that makes writing AJAX applications like Google Maps and Gmail easy for developers who don't speak browser quirks as a second language. GWT eliminates the need to spend significant time working around subtle incompatibilities between web browsers and platforms, and JavaScript's lack of modularity makes sharing, testing, and reusing AJAX components difficult and fragile. As a result, embracing a powerful toolkit like GWT allowed Yesmail's developers to focus their creative energy on innovative user interface elements.
Fast forward to 2007: Yesmail recognized the underpinning of its email marketing platforms needed to become a modern web 2.0 user experience for clients. "The speed with which the company could develop features using GWT was an encouraging first step, as it worked within our two-week iterative process," said Chris Jones, Sr. Software Developer at Yesmail. "Initially we used GWT only when we needed something beyond the scope of standard forms, but as our code base grew, the team realized it could enhance interfaces by re-factoring some of our GWT UI Code into a common library. Eventually, our code base was rich enough and the development team fluent enough with GWT that it became our de-facto development platform for the user interface." For more information please read "Yesmail talks about GWT" at http://googlewebtoolkit.blogspot.com.
Yesmail's advancements in technology and product development processes have equated to business growth and bottom line results as well. Revenue growth over the past three years has averaged over 40% and the company is among the most profitable in the email services sector. This success has allowed Yesmail to further its investment in its technology organization and has enabled it to branch out in the small and mid-markets. Yesmail also holds 2 decision-support and artificial intelligence related patents and is evaluating the patentability of certain product development initiatives.
Yesmail continues its positive momentum in 2008 with a recent leader designation in the Large-Enterprise Service Provider Category from JupiterResearch in the recently published Jupiter Buyers Guide of Email Marketing Service Providers. The guide is an evaluation of the offerings of 32 vendors. JupiterResearch bases their overall value, suitability, and breadth on the distinct needs of three types of marketers, and places them in three categories (i.e., full-service, small-/midsize-business, and large-enterprise). The full report is available for purchase for $3500 and is located on the Jupiter Research website. http://www.jupiterresearch.com/bin/item.pl/research:vision/1103/id=100095/
