Business

On March 14, 2008, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated August 20, 2007 between Feris International, Inc. (“Feris”) and Pro Sports & Entertainment, Inc. (“PSEI”), Feris issued 49,500,000 shares of its common stock for all of the issued and outstanding shares of PSEI, resulting in PSEI becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Feris and the surviving entity for accounting purposes (“Reverse Merger”).  In July 2008, Feris’ corporate name was changed to Stratus Media Group, Inc. (“Company”).

PSEI, a California corporation, was organized on November 23, 1998 and specializes in sports and entertainment events that it owns, operates, manages, markets and sells in national markets.  PSEI acquired the business of Stratus White, LLC (“Stratus White”) in August 2005 and Stratus White is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PSEI.  Stratus White is a credit card rewards program that uses the Visa card platform that offers a unique luxury rewards redemption program, including private jet travel, premium travel opportunities, exclusive events and luxury merchandise.   In May 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with a private bank in Switzerland for it to be the processing bank for Stratus White in Europe.

In June 2011, the Company acquired 95% of the voting stock of ProElite, Inc. (“PEI”) through the purchase of preferred stock convertible into 95% of the voting stock of PEI.  PEI is a subsidiary of the Company. PEI specializes in the operation and management of Mixed Martial Arts events. See Note 22 for further discussion of the acquisition of PEI.
