GAWK Receives $5,000,000 Commitment From Southridge Advisors II

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/01/15 -- GAWK Inc. (OTC PINK: GAWK) announced today that it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) with Southridge Advisors II, LLC, an institutional investor, providing for an equity purchase agreement (EPA) in the amount of $5 million, which will create significant growth capital for GAWK, enabling the execution of its business plan, on favorable terms.

Under terms of the LOI, GAWK has the right, but not the obligation to sell, from time to time, up to $5 million of its common stock to Southridge, in an amount that the company determines.

Scott Kettle, CEO of GAWK, Inc., said, "With the acquisition of NET D announced this past Monday, we intend to use this new infusion of cash from Southridge to implement our business plan to continue to roll up data centers and other strategic businesses within the cloud computing and Voice over IP sector across the United States. We are talking to 11 proprietors from the Mid-West to the East Coast, and expect to announce additional LOI's shortly."

"The company's business plans provided us with the confidence necessary to provide growth capital. We are excited to partner with GAWK and its seasoned management team as they execute their strategy," commented Stephen Hicks, Principal and CEO of Southridge Advisors II, LLC.

The Company previously stated that it planned to offer the major Telco's' additional storage space, allowing the major companies to continue to expand their wireless business. The rapid growth in wireless use creates massive and growing amounts of data, which may become a problem for the global telecommunications companies in the U.S., Europe and Asia. GAWK believes it may have a solution by becoming one of the largest storage sites for data.
