Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 10, 2018) - PowerBand Solutions Inc. (TSXV: PBX) (OTCQB: PWWBF) (FSE: 1ZVA)
("PowerBand" or the "Company"), a leading online auction and remarketing platform to buy and sell used vehicles, is
pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (the "LOI") with 1070879 B.C. Ltd. operating as
LeadSource Canada ("LeadSource") to acquire 100% of all outstanding shares of LeadSource (the "Transaction").
Based in Kelowna, British Columbia, LeadSource is a next generation automotive private sale event marketing company. Lead Source
integrates its proprietary consumer conquest methodology with the latest in advanced database mining techniques to harvest
qualified, 'in-equity' sales leads through its customer contact centre. LeadSource provides training to the dealership's staff and
orchestrates all aspects of the multi-day private sales events, resulting in a dynamic and transparent customer experience that is
unlike any other current offering in the marketplace.
Kelly Jennings, CEO of PowerBand stated: "We are very pleased that LeadSource Canada, and its President, Paul Mountney, will be
joining PowerBand. Paul has been involved in the private sale event industry for years and has built up a vast nationwide network
of industry contacts. By incorporating PowerBand's instant LiveNet Auction into LeadSource's private sales event platform we
believe the company will differentiate itself in the marketplace. Customers looking to trade in their used vehicle at the sales
event will be able to watch live bids for their vehicle appear on the dealership's showroom display, providing them with the
confidence that the industry's top buyers are providing them with the best available, real-time, price for their trade-in."
Paul Mountney, President of LeadSource Canada commented: "I am looking forward to working with Kelly and the PowerBand team. I
strongly believe that with Kelly's industry contacts and experience, and by incorporating the LiveNet Auction into our sales
process, we may see significant revenue growth for the balance of 2018, and for years into the future."
As consideration for the Transaction PowerBand will pay LeadSource a cash purchase price of up to $100,000 for 100% of the
shares. Paul Mountney will enter into an employment agreement that will include an annual bonus of common shares being issued based
on surpassing annual targets for the number of private sales events performed.
PowerBand and LeadSource expect to complete the Transaction before the end of July 2018, subject to a number of conditions,
including, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, the approval of the board of directors of PowerBand, as well as the execution
of a Definitive Agreement.
