The sale includes all direct-to-consumer brands and all digital properties, including adult retail properties TLARAW.com and TLAgay.com.

“With fresh capitalization TLA will be able to flourish, build upon a strong infrastructure, and seize new opportunities in the current marketplace,” G. Sterling Zinsmeyer, Chairman of Sterling Genesis International, said.

Sterling Genesis President and CEO Derek Curl said that the acquisition’s potential for consolidation and global expansion will allow the company to realize even further the “tremendous value TLA Entertainment Group has in the entertainment world.”
