AIMS Worldwide signs M&A agreement
and readies its acquisition roster

FAIRFAX, Va.— BUSINESS WIRE — November 11, 2009 — AIMS Worldwide, Inc. (OTC BB: AMWW), an integrated marketing services company providing organizations with focused marketing solutions, announced today that it has signed an agreement with Maxim Group for an exclusive M&A relationship.

As a result of its February 2009 engagement with Maxim Group for an exclusive investment banking relationship, AIMS began its search for core competency acquisitions as part of a sustained M&A growth strategy. With the signing of the M&A agreement with Maxim, AIMS is now in the final stages of completing its acquisition prospects.

For the next stage of AIMS development through acquisitions, the company is concentrating in the areas of public affairs, digital marketing and public relations. Based on current growth in government affairs expenditures, and on past successes by IKON Public Affairs in campaign and election management and political consulting, AIMS is focused heavily on growing its government, advocacy and political affairs business. IKON is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AIMS.

“Because of our past success in this space and significant ongoing opportunity, we are focusing on growth efforts in the public sector,” said AIMS CEO Gerald Garcia, Jr. “We also see growth opportunities in the commercial sector, with emphasis on digital marketing and public relations. The combination of our public and commercial sector M&A initiatives will be critical to our long-term business development, growth and success. We appreciate the invaluable assistance, counsel and guidance we are receiving from Maxim’s management as we work through the final stages of our next round of acquisitions.”
