Timios has 285 employees and $60 million in revenues year to date.

NEW YORK - Nov. 12, 2020 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, -- Ideanomics  announced it has signed a definitive stock purchase agreement to acquire 100% of privately held Timios Holdings Corp. ("Timios") in an all-cash deal, the material terms of which are disclosed in the Company's related 8-k filing. The acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

Timios, a nationwide title and settlement solutions provider, has been expanding in recent years through offering innovative and freedom-of-choice-friendly solutions for real estate transactions, including residential and commercial title insurance and closing and settlement services, as well as specialized offerings for the mortgage industry.

Ideanomics expects that Timios will become one of the cornerstones of Ideanomics Capital, the Company's fintech business unit, which focuses on leveraging technology and innovation to improve efficiency, transparency, and profitability for the financial services industry. Timios combines difficult to obtain licenses, a knowledgeable and experienced team, and a scalable solutions platform to deliver best-in-class service through both centralized processing and a localized branch network. Ideanomics will assist Timios in scaling its business in various ways, including referring client acquisition and product innovation.

Founded in 2008 by real estate industry veteran Trevor Stoffer, Timios' vision is to bring honesty and transparency to real estate transactions. Mr. Stoffer, who currently serves as Timios' Chairman of the Board, believes that the real estate process has been overly complicated to the detriment of consumers and commercial clients. The company offers title and settlement, appraisal management, and real-estate-owned (REO) title and closing services in 44 states and currently serves more than 280 national and regional clients.

"As we move into an unprecedented era of data-driven real estate transactions, Timios intends to continue to shepherd our customers through this significant transformation in the real estate industry by providing transparency and simplification," said Timios Chairman of the Board, Trevor Stoffer. "We look forward to leveraging Ideanomics' resources to continue Timios' growth and to explore opportunities to further modernize real estate closings."
