Sibling Group Holdings, Inc. announced the formation of a strategic partnership and completion of a $3.75 million funding from Shenzhen City Qianhai Xinshi Education Management Co. Ltd. The strategic investment is intended to accelerate Sibling's growth and expansion into critical strategic markets around the world, including China. The deal comes on the heels of Sibling Group's recent acquisitions of Blended Schools Network, a K-12 online and blended learning company serving about 160 U.S. School Districts, and Urban Planet Mobile, an education technology company that specializes in the creation and distribution of educational content and services across all mobile and digital platforms from basic phone and smart phone to tablet and computer.

Entering into collaboration with Shenzhen Times represents a significant step forward for Sibling Group as the company aggressively grows its stake in the evolving global education landscape, particularly in strategic markets such as China. The terms of the $3.75 million strategic investment will be included in the company's Form 8-K which is being filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission regarding this partnership and transaction.
