HONG KONG, June 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharing Economy
International Inc. ("SEII" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: SEII) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sharing Economy
Investment Limited ("SEIL"), has entered into a license agreement with Ecrent Capital Holdings Limited ("ECRENT"), regarding the
grant of an exclusive and sublicensable license from ECRENT to SEII to utilize certain software and trademarks in order to
develop, launch, operate, commercialize, and maintain an online website platform in North Korea.
The License Agreement will be valid until December 31, 2023. In return, SEII shall pay ECRENT a
maximum amount of US$1,000,000 upon satisfying the condition precedent that the gross profit
generated from the corresponding business arrangement in North Korea exceeds the license fee
payment, which will be determined at expiration of the license agreement on December 31, 2023.
"The US-North Korea summit appears to have progressed very smoothly, which is extremely good news not only for the populations
of these two countries, but for every individual around the globe," said Tin Chi CHAN, CEO of SEIL. "We strongly believe that the
potential opening of the North Korean market provides a unique opportunity for us to develop both online and offline sharing
economy business models in the region that would greatly benefit the North Korean people. Given the limited means of the
population, the opportunity to share products and services instead of purchasing them outright can lower the costs incurred and
enhance the quality of life of North Korean citizens. By establishing ECRENT along with other offline sharing economy solutions
at the appropriate time, North Korean users will have the convenience of sharing and renting from each other. We are dedicated to
improving the quality of life of the people living there and looking forward the longer-term opportunities in the region."
