Effective
July 8, 2010, GTX
Corp (the “Company”) and Samsung Electronics Limited (“Samsung”) entered
into an Agreement To Provide Online Mobile Content And Services For Mobile
Devices (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to
develop versions of the Company’s GPS Tracking applications specifically for
cell phones that run on Samsung’s bada platform. The purpose of the
Agreement is to grant Samsung the license rights to
offer the Company’s GPS Tracking smart phone applications to the millions of
cell phones manufactured and sold by Samsung using the bada platform. Samsung
bada is a new open platform for use on Samsung mobile devices.
Under the
Agreement, Samsung will pay the Company a non recurring engineering development
fee, contribute marketing and engineering support for pre and post launch,
provide an industry standard global platform for distribution, and share user
revenues with the Company. Samsung will be responsible for collecting
the fees and Samsung will remit 70% of such fees to the Company. The
Company will update the GPS Tracking applications periodically throughout the
initial one year term of the agreement and such updates will coincide with the
updates the Company provides to its GPS Tracking
applications on the iPhone, Android and Blackberry platforms, which to
date have been downloaded by over 500,000 users in 84 countries. The GPS
Tracking applications are expected to be featured for sale on the Samsung
Application Store beginning in the third quarter of 2010.
Over
220,000,000 customers bought Samsung handsets in 2009. Over 40,000,000 customers
bought Samsung touch phones last year. Samsung expects the bada platform will
rapidly be adopted by such customers this year. In 2010 bada’s global
distribution and coverage of Samsung mobile phones and Samsung Apps, the
application store, will expand its service to 75 countries. Samsung
Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication,
digital media and digital convergence technologies with 2009 consolidated sales
of US$116.8 billion. Employing approximately 188,000 people in 185 offices
across 65 countries, Samsung is widely recognized as a leading mobile phone
provider and the bada platform is utilized in millions of phones sold by
Samsung.
