 PROFILE
Shazam! Troubled incubator Yazam.com has found a savior. The early-stage Internet and technology investor had fallen on hard times with the downturn in Internet stocks and was under pressure from Texas Pacific Group, its largest stakeholder, to shut down and distribute its assets to investors. The firm instead found a buyer: U.S. Technologies, an incubator that was once a prison labor outsourcing concern. The buy would include Yazam's portfolio of some 25 investments in Israeli, US, and European Internet startups, including CoreMarkets, a metals online trading exchange and GammaSite, an Israeli search engine. Early investors in Yazam include J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., Merrill Lynch, and The Carlyle Group.

Date Announced: 03.01.01
Value of transaction (US $Mil): 22
Description: Internet incubator traded on the over-the-counter stock exchange agrees to buy rival for $22 million in cash plus shares.
