TAMPA, FL--(Marketwired - Jun 22, 2017) - B2Digital, Incorporated (OTC PINK: BTDG) ("B2Digital") today announced that it has
signed an agreement to acquire Hard Rock Promotions LLC, the owner of Hard Rock MMA in Kentucky.
The acquisition will become effective following the completion of B2Digital's reverse stock split that was previously
announced on June 21, 2017.
With this announcement, B2Digital intends to accelerate Phase 2 of its path to developing the Minor League for the MMA
marketplace. Phase 1 of building the B2Digital brand in the MMA industry will continue through sponsorships of more MMA fights,
which exposed the B2Digital brand and B2Digital-sponsored Social Media platforms to over 350,000 fans Since February 2017.
Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement, B2Digital will acquire 100% of the equity interest in Hard Rock Promotions
LLC for $49,000 in cash and $100,000 of restricted common stock in B2Digital. The acquisition is expected to close following
completion of the reverse stock split and other customary closing conditions.
"It is exciting for B2Digital to begin its quest in developing an MMA Minor league with the acquisition of a great MMA company
like Hard Rock MMA, which has produced over 89 events, with a currently planned schedule of 14 LIVE Events through the end of
2018. The Hard Rock Events will form the nucleus of fighters to fight in the upcoming B2 Fighting Series Events. The management
of Hard Rock MMA has done an amazing job in Kentucky operating Hard Rock MMA and I am quite pleased that the current management
will stay in place to operate the Hard Rock MMA group for B2Digital," said Greg P. Bell, Chairman & CEO of B2Digital.
"We have worked alongside and spent a lot of time with Mr. Bell and are looking forward to continuing that relationship with
B2 Digital and developing the B2 Digital Fighting Series to enhance and provide future capabilities for MMA fighters within Hard
Rock MMA and the B2 Fighting Series Program," said Brandon and Vanessa Higdon, the owners of Hard Rock MMA.
