FORT WAYNE, IN--(Marketwired - Mar 10, 2014) - Advanced Content Services, Inc. (OTC: ADCS) is pleased to announce finalization of discussions with a merger candidate with a holding company focused in the multi-billion dollar payment solutions and merchant services markets. Parties expect to close on the deal before the end of Q1 2014.

The target company is currently in development on products intended to benefit business owners in the ever growing Cannabis / Medical Marijuana industry.

In line with the anticipated merger, a new CEO with a strong background in sales, management and marketing, has been identified and will be announced upon finalization of the new acquisition. It has been mutually agreed that the Company's interim CEO, Alex Woods-Leo, is better suited elsewhere.
