The terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
Warren Murphy, CEO of the Sporting Index Group, said in a statement Monday:
"Our new owner is an excellent fit for our business. We have a shared vision for the future and will receive the necessary resources and expertise to help drive the future growth of both Sporting Index and Sporting Solutions."
