TORONTO, ON, Sept. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE - Agora Holdings Inc. (OTC PINK: AGHI) (the “Company”) today
announced that effective August 31, 2018, as disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 5, 2018, an addendum to a Share Exchange Agreement originally signed April 17, 2018 has been signed between
the Company and the controlling shareholders of eSilkroad Network Limited.
Under the terms of the originally executed Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Company would acquire all of the
outstanding shares of eSilkroad Network Limited, a Hong Kong corporation ("eSilkroad"), which controls ninety-five percent (95%) of
eSilkroad of Ukraine (“eSilkroad Ukraine”), a limited liability company registered in the Ukraine (eSilkroad Ukraine).
The focus of both eSilkroad and eSilkroad Ukraine is a conceptual B2B platform that intends to make the interaction between
businesses and non-profit organizations throughout the world faster, more effective, and less costly.
On August 31, 2018, the shareholders of eSilkroad and the Company entered into an addendum to the Agreement so that the
ownership percentage of eSilkroad acquired by the Company would be decreased from 100% to 51%. The revisions to the Agreement
are the result of various management meetings with potential investment partners in Asia and Eastern Europe. The Company and
the shareholders of eSilkroad, have proposed to raise financing of up to US$20 million over the next thirty-six months to fund the
various stages of development required to commercialize and launch the B2B platform through private sales of equity to qualified
investors directly in eSilkroad. Organizations currently working with eSilkroad supporting the development efforts of the B2B
platform have indicated diverse ownership of eSilkroad, including investment from various investors and investment groups in Asia
and Eastern Europe, is an optimal structure to secure participation by various target countries for the platform.
Ruben Yakubov, the Company’s president stated, “We remain extremely excited to work with eSilkroad management and shareholders on
this groundbreaking project. We understand the importance of local involvement from Chinese and Eastern European countries to
the initial launch of the eSilkroad platform, as the formative concept of the site and its launch stems from the historic trade and
commerce relationships between these countries. Our goal is to facilitate fundraising efforts and continuing development of the
platform while bringing value for our shareholder base. With the completion of this addendum we can now move quickly to focus all
our attention on the implementation of the launch timeline and surrounding business plan.”
