Freedom U.S. Markets, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Freedom Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: FRHC), announced today that it has completed the acquisition of LD Micro from SRAX, Inc. (NASDAQ: SRAX). The total consideration of $8.3 million includes $4 million in cash and FRHC common stock valued at $4.3 million.

"I've known Chris since the beginning and have the utmost respect for him and the LD Micro brand. We see many synergies between LD Micro and the Freedom platform. We look forward to expanding our offering of bespoke and differentiated services to our clients, investors, and stakeholders."

Chris Lahiji, Founder of LD Micro, commented, "With Freedom, LD takes the world's stage. Our team is ready to showcase what makes us truly special. I am grateful and elated that Mr. Turlov and Mr. Wotczak share our long-term vision and will help us become the standard in the space. We are in the first inning of a very long baseball game."

SRAX will also serve as the exclusive streaming partner for LD events in the coming years and provide quality coverage for its global audience using the Sequire platform.
