We look forward to integrating the PlayNetwork team into the Mood family – continuing to deliver top-tier consumer connection solutions for our customers.”

Paul Hastings LLP served as legal counsel to Mood Media on the transaction. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP acted as legal counsel and LionTree Advisors served as exclusive financial advisors to Octave Group.
