TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - June 27, 2016) - Imperus
Technologies Corp. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:LAB) announces that it has changed its name to Tangelo
Games Corp., ("Tangelo") effective June 28, 2016, and as of the commencement of trading on that day, will trade
on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") under the symbol (TSX VENTURE:GEL).
James Lanthier, CEO of Tangelo, commented: "We are pleased to announce an amendment to our acquisition agreement with Diwip
Ltd. ("Diwip"). As outlined below, this amendment provides clarity and resolves our future earnout
obligations. More importantly, we now have the authority to direct and control our asset base and address several
operational priorities."
Accelerating Mobile Growth
We continue to make significant progress in shifting our business towards mobile. This is essential to Tangelo's future
growth, as the social casino space is migrating, along with the rest of the world, to mobile. For example, for Q1 2016,
Eilers Research estimated a growth rate of 27.6% for mobile social casino games over the same quarter in 2015 while social casino
games played on desktop shrank by 8.4% between the same periods.
Our desktop / Facebook business is outperforming the market standard and more importantly we are experiencing strong mobile
growth. Revenue from our Spanish and Portuguese language mobile games in Q1 2016, grew an amazing 60% from Q1 2015. Spanish
language mobile game revenue is also growing at an accelerating rate; from Q4 2015 to Q1 2016, revenues grew 18%, and from Q1
2016 to Q2 2016 we estimate that it will have grown 30%. Viva Mobile, our multi-game app, reached #5 in Brazil on Android,
and Bingo Rider reached #12.
Mobile growth is essential to reducing Tangelo's historical weighting towards desktop revenue. Our metrics show that our
business is heading in the right direction. Thanks to the amendment to the Diwip acquisition agreement we now have full
control of our development resources and will now prioritize accordingly on maintaining our aggressive mobile growth,
particularly in emerging markets where the competitive conditions are more favorable than the US market.
Technology Shift
Google's recent decision to discontinue support of Flash requires decisive action on our part to ensure the widest possible
audience for our games. As such, we have had to reassign development resources from new game development to re-developing
our existing portfolio in HTML5. While we believe that this is the right decision for the business, and would not have been
possible without the amendment to the Diwip acquisition agreement, this will have a short term impact on our revenue growth as
new game launches will be delayed.
Realizing Integration Synergies
The amendment to the Diwip acquisition agreement permits Tangelo to more effectively integrate our operating businesses and
begin to realize related savings. We did not have the ability to fully integrate the businesses under the original Diwip
acquisition agreement. We are now moving to centralize management in Barcelona, while maintaining certain development
functions in Tel Aviv, and as such, will now begin to realize the cost savings that were part of the original investment case for
combining these businesses.
Impact on Guidance
The delay in bringing the businesses together due to the need to negotiate an amendment to the Diwip agreement, the allocation
of development resources to deal with the shift to HTML5, and the rapid migration from desktop to mobile will mean that our
consolidated business will achieve a run-rate commensurate with the previously stated guidance by the fourth quarter of
2016. Given the dynamic nature of the business and its size, the Company does not plan to provide further guidance.
Amendment to Diwip Acquisition Agreement
Tangelo announces that, subject to certain conditions, it has amended the terms of the original Diwip acquisition agreement
with the founders of Diwip, Yaniv Gamzo and Udi Kantzuker, that will see them exit and resign from their full time roles as
managers of the Diwip business. Pursuant to this amendment agreement, the Company will settle a portion of the year-one
earnout originally owed in cash to the Diwip founders under the Diwip acquisition agreement in common shares of the Company
("Common Shares") rather than cash. In this regard, each Diwip founder will be issued the number of Common
Shares equal to the Canadian dollar equivalent of US$113,010 divided by $0.10 (the "Earnout Shares") rather than
receiving a cash payment of US$113,010. The issuance of the Earnout Shares is subject to, among other things, TSXV
approval. The remaining portion of the year-one earnout owed to the Diwip founders will be paid in cash and Common Shares
pursuant to the original terms of the Diwip acquisition agreement. All further potential payments to the Diwip founders,
other than the year-one earnout, to be paid pursuant to the Diwip acquisition agreement, including the year-two earnout, are
cancelled.
James Lanthier, CEO of Tangelo, commented: "We would like to thank Yaniv and Udi for their contributions to Diwip and the
Company. They were trailblazers in the Social Casino space and we will strive to match their legacy of innovation as we go
forward."
Credit Agreement Amendment
The Company has reached an agreement with its lenders to slightly amend certain terms of its amended credit agreement
previously entered into on November 16, 2015 and amended on February 15, 2016 (the "Amended Credit Agreement").
Under the terms of the amendment, the remaining conditions of the February 15, 2016 Amended Credit Agreement have been waived and
the Company has agreed to amend the exercise price for 35,000,000 non-transferrable warrants issued by the Company to its lenders
on November 16, 2015 to $0.09 as previously announced on February 16, 2016 in connection with the announcement of the Amended
Credit Agreement.
Option Grant
The Company also announces that it has granted a total of 1,097,000 stock options under its stock option plan to various
individuals including certain employees, consultants and officers. The options will vest quarterly over two years, all subject to
a four month regulatory hold period. All options are exercisable at a price of $0.10 per option for a period of five years from
the date hereof. This grant of options is subject to any necessary regulatory or stock exchange approvals.
Consulting Agreement
The Company entered into a new consulting agreement with the President of the Company, Vicenc Marti, to amend, among other
things, responsibilities, salary and option entitlements. The agreement also provides for the granting and payment of
certain advanced bonuses to the President.
