VANCOUVER, Nov. 30, 2017 /CNW/ - Glance Technologies Inc. (CSE: GET.CN)(CSE:
GET.WT)(OTCQB: GLNNF)(FKT: GJT) announces that it has entered into a non-binding LOI to acquire the blockchain and cryptocurrency
with rewards tokenization platform Blockimpact from Ztudium Limited, a company founded and led by leading blockchain influencer
Dinis Guarda. Ranking.influencer.world ranks Mr. Guarda #4 worldwide in Blockchain and Crypto.
The LOI contemplates that Glance will acquire all of the intellectual property comprising the Blockimpact platform in
consideration for payment to Ztudium of US$1.1 million, 80% of which will be paid upon closing of
the acquisition and 20% of which shall be paid on completion of the integration of Blockimpact with the Glance Pay mobile payment
platform. Glance has paid Ztudium US$100,000 towards the purchase price.
Blockimpact is a full end-to-end cryptocurrency blockchain solution, which includes the following features:
- Biometric ID
- Blockchain Distributed Ledger Technology
- Digital messaging / group chat (with functionality similar to Whatsapp)
- Financial wallet
- Open application program interface
- Crypto/token/fiat wallet (which allows seamless conversion between currencies)
- Reward system
- Encrypted cyber security
- In-app support system
- Document sharing
- Social network features
- Peer to Peer marketplace functionality
Glance intends to utilize the Blockimpact cryptocurrency platform to accelerate the creation of its rewards based
cryptocurrency, which is also intended to be implemented on the Glance Pay platform. Glance hopes to complete the Blockimpact
acquisition within the next 15 days and then work to integrate the Blockimpact blockchain technology with the existing Glance pay
mobile payment network architecture.
Completion of the acquisition is subject to the parties negotiating and entering into a binding agreement for the acquisition,
on the satisfactory completion of due diligence by Glance, and upon the approval of the transaction by Board of Directors of
Glance. Ztudium has agreed to a 30-day exclusivity period during which it will not negotiate the potential sale of Blockimpact
other than with Glance.
Closing of the acquisition is further conditional upon Mr. Guarda and other members of the Ztudium management team responsible
for the development of Blockimpact entering into a consulting agreement with Glance on terms satisfactory to each of Glance and
the Consultants pursuant to which Guarda and the Consultants will assist Glance with Glance's adoption and use of the Blockimpact
platform, in planning and executing Glance's planned rewards based cryptocurrency strategy, and by introducing Glance to
blockchain experts, influencers and partners.
"We are selling the Ztudium Blockimpact platform at a significant discount to what we believe is its true value because we are
extremely excited about the opportunity to apply our team and technology to the Glance Pay rewards cryptocurrency," says
Dinis Guarda, "We feel strongly that there is a large potential for this in the marketplace and we
feel the combinations of our teams, technologies, and marketing capabilities are unmatched in the cryptocurrency space today,"
added Guarda.
The Glance rewards based token will be granted as rewards to users of the Glance Pay mobile payment app every time they spend
on the Glance Pay mobile payment network, whether they have paid with the new cryptocurrency or via other payment methods. This
strategy is intended to support rapid adoption of the cryptocurrency to a broad range of consumers, although the app will also be
marketed to crypto users in leading urban centers.
Glance also intends to apply elements of its anti-fraud technology to cryptocurrencies to reduce the risk associated with
converting traditional currencies to and from cryptocurrencies.
The market cap of all cryptocurrencies has gone from $17 billion USD one year ago to over
$245 billion recently, which is an increase of over 1,340% (according to coinmarketcap.com). This
incredible expansion of the cryptocurrency market demonstrates a significant increase in demand for cryptocurrencies and
increased demand for ways to spend them.
In addition to the recently announced $11 million CAD bought deal financing, Glance currently
has cash in the bank in excess of $10 million CAD, which puts Glance in a strong position to pursue
acquisition and partnership deals such as this.
