CrowdGather (OTCBB: CRWG) $1.25. Announced on June 10th that it has acquired Adisn, a next generation Digital Ad Agency that uses relationship data from the social web to enhance targeting, for $5.5 million, the largest acquisition in CrowdGather’s history. CrowdGather will issue 4,621,849 shares of common stock for the purchase. Adisn will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

This is before taking into consideration any synergies or additional revenues that result from the selling of CrowdGather network’s advertising inventory by Adisn.
