RAVENQUEST ENTERS INTO DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE DIGIG

https://www.stockwatch.com/News/Item?bid=Z-C%3aRQB-2854580&symbol=RQB&region=C

Ravenquest Biomed Inc. has clarified its press release issued on Jan. 10, 2020, and has entered into a definitive agreement dated Jan. 10, 2020, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Digigro Software Inc. (DSI), a private British Columbia corporation, in exchange for 41,666,667 Ravenquest shares at a deemed price of 12 cents per share to DSI shareholders. The Transaction is an arms length transaction and is subject to a number of closing conditions which are expected to be met, and the Transaction is expected to close, on Tuesday January 14, 2020. There is no finder's fee associated with the Transaction

The Transaction will provide Ravenquest with ownership of Digigro, a digital platform providing home growers access to cultivation knowledge and techniques. Using a single platform, the app will assemble data collected from home-growers and will thereupon provide information that will allow them to produce the best cannabis with the fewest negative outcomes.

The grower will provide the input data by selecting their preferred cultivar and the app will subsequently offer relevant information for optimal growing conditions such as preferred nutrients, substrates, ideal feeding cycles and optimal lighting conditions.

Currently, consumers do not have the luxury of a single, reliable resource that assists them with the rewarding but often challenging experience of home-growing cannabis. Digigro will be the answer to this need.

Digigro will be commercialized by allowing the purchase of advertisement space by product vendors and suppliers as well as a future e-commerce platform for the direct shipment of various products from vendor to home-grower.

DSI is a British Columbia corporation located in Kelowna, British Columbia. Upon closing of the Transaction there will be no new control person of the Company. In addition, all directors of DSI will resign and will be retained on a consulting basis.

Ravenquest CEO, George Robinson, commented "as our current growing techniques are highly automated and technology focused this will assist with our current growing techniques as well as provide a new source of revenue. This will broaden and diversify the Company's revenue model, and makes excellent sense as our company drives cannabis-related revenue outside of simply plant or extract sales."

About Ravenquest Biomed Inc.

We seek Safe Harbor.

I can live with 33% dilution, 5 million bucks, for a fully operational digital platform and revenue stream. I guess they're just looking for new ways to create revenue in case they lose the rotogro case.

The stock price is not currently tied to any real revenue metric or anything so it shouldn't. That being said anything is possible with how this stock has been managed the last while. Probably stays around this price until the news flow starts again.

I'm not too happy about this acquisition. I hope that it works out for us. I feel that George didn't need to do this now, but time will tell.

i think that george should get on midas letter or host a conf call to explain this to the shareholders and investors in way more detail than can be done in a news release. there seems to me to be a lot of doubt and confusion about this that could maybe be cleared up with a big explanation. - ashleigh
Comment by ashleigh64 on Jan 14, 2020 2:51pm
i'd also like to hear what people like coffeebacon, valor, hawkeye, and benz think about this deal. valor posted at ceo about giving an opinion after having some convos, and i can't wait to read that. paycon's question at ceo about why not waiting until after the next couple quarterlies are out is a good one i think and i'd like to see this company address it. - ashleigh

Do you have a link? There must be more going on, we need to keep trusting George that there is more to this.

howdy, can you be more specific about what you think the "more to this" might be? - ashleigh
Comment by HowdyBob on Jan 14, 2020 6:55pm
I don't know but there must be. As Crash sd, George sd he really cared about shareholder value and they didn't raise funds late last year when many thought they would when they were low on cash because they didn't want to dilute. To do something like this at this price means there is serious value there?? One thing we are hoping for though, whoever is behind this new DSI company ...more

i see. i wonder how many questions mat is getting now about this stuff. i think it would make a lot of sense for george and mat to hold a recorded q&a call so everyone can ask questions and the answers can be efficiently given to everyone at once. - ashleigh
Comment by weedlogical on Jan 14, 2020 4:50pm
Simple stuff really.  - Where is the link to the Company itself? I've seen some info posted here on this board, but nothing to indicate where Digigro is. We know in they are in Kelowna. I've looked around. Zip.  - Where is the App? If its not out yet, then how do we know it works? If its not publicized then how do they have existing revenue? They claim existing revenue ...more

This cost $5mm.  How can you justify paying that?  crazy Yeah shazam to the share price.  What were they thinking?  I'll file this under dumb. My confidence really cratered when this came out and I bailed.

Well said. Just crazy. Talk about taking the clear out weak investors mentality too far. Interesting lesson that longs shouldn't buy to many shares and mess with the old fashioned order of things. Please George what is the big picture here?

‘Crash’ ...when this deal got lit up a few years ago, you have been the most sincerest poster on this board.  Bottom line is this.... I am pssed about this deal !!!. It’s a stupid deal.  Andy Bell should be embarrased. On another note. No one has talked about the 1 million plus shares for ‘marketing’....this is worse than a B rated movie. Garbage 2.0 = clue.....not a basher.....just ...more

Comment by BaronBuffett on Jan 14, 2020 11:41pm
I hope George doesn't feel like he knows all and has a whole bunch of yes men around him. I'm not on board with the marketing for shares and I'm also not on board with this new app. The app could absolutely be built for a few thousand dollars. For the app,it's only justifiable if Digigro already has a good base of customers, users and revenue. As for the marketing, well, no amount ...more  
Comment by HoodWinkie on Jan 14, 2020 11:40pm
I’m posting because I am ticked off with this garbage. My ‘take away’ is this. The acquistion is ‘noise’ on RQB’s failure on delivering its said ‘quality’ product.  Have we heard more about Australia???. Europe??. I miss the good old days of wallpapering  stupid dumb as@ deals / certificates onto the wall.  I concede...you got me. ’HoodWinkie’
Comment by HowdyBob on Jan 15, 2020 12:01am
They have sold product and been checked by HC with and got zero microbes. Rotogro is also selling machines and the Norwegian Wealth fund would have done checking as well. The BM market has used these for years and the pictures go back over 15 years. We know they work. George is not an idiot and didn't spend 20 million building Edmonton and being on TV talking about machines that don't ...more

Also, how big is the whole home growing market? Doesn't seem like it's too big. We can all produce vegetables, but do we do that or do we just go with convenience and buy at the store? George, I hope that market is insanely huge.

I don't think you should be too focused on the "how to grow" aspect of this acquisition. We should be more focused on the "future e-commerce" possibilities where this could become the one stop shop for all supplies. This could turn into the Hello Fresh of the cannabis world.  Sure I think the timing of this deal is questionable seeing as where the stock is, but for all ...more  
Comment by Bambusts on Jan 15, 2020 10:33am
That App is NOT worth 41plus Million Shares.  AGB was had for 8.6 M shares and that facility can produce 8,000 kgs of weed.  This APP is 520% worth more than AGB?.  I don think so.  He should stick to growing because RQB DOES HAVE 2 Licenced Facilties.  He is out of focus. RQB is low on cash since 2nd quater of 2019.  Why are we not focusing on growing?.  That I ...more  
Comment by weedlogical on Jan 15, 2020 11:20am
It is my belief that the company is Pivoting to pure tech. I think its safe to say they have learned that farming is a tough go, particularly given the regulatory hurdles. Notice recent statements by George regarding characterizing RQB as a Tech Company.  One of the promising pieces is the Garden tech itself. It may also be possible this App will interface and enhance the value of the ...more  
Comment by Showme66 on Jan 15, 2020 1:43pm
I agree that something is off.  Committing to a 30% dillution to acquire unproven technology with a high-risk never-been-done-before venture is either brilliant, or bone-headed.  They claim to have a very low cost per gram to produce cannabis so why take on the risk of the DigiGro venture?  The only way I can make sense of it is if there are concerns about the continuation of their ...more

‘Stick to your knitting’  (Peter MacKAY saying if you are CDN) . IF RQB aka George Robinson is yapping about producing the ‘best’ and ‘consistent Cannabis product on this planet THEN shut up and do it !!!’ DELIVER!!!. Like dude....why in the world would you do this dumb acquisition when you are weak?????.  Sounds like desperation to  me  GLTA while I commit harricarrie

I put  the acquisition value at $500K or  1/10 the purchase price. Bottom line is a loss in real equity of $4.5mm but will show on the books as an Intangible asset of $5mm. It's my take of the numbers right or wrong.
Comment by Kurious1 on Jan 14, 2020 11:42pm
What in gods name is this acquisition??  33% for an app that isn't released yet if what you guys say is right Isn't George tipping to sell upwards of $40m in orbital gardens next year? And how much cannabis?  Maybe it's 4 million shares and there was a typo somewhere. That would be way more reasonable and I would think of it as a good addition to the warchest of RQB.  ...more
