owned subsidiary, Pressland, has released plans to build a first-of-its-kind data management platform to help fight fake news.

This proprietary process, currently in alpha, will yield a vast, unique data source that can be used to identify misinformation
before it spreads online. An additional application layer will provide commercial resources for third-party developers building
their own products to fight fake news.
Pressland is led by Codebase's Jeff Koyen, a seasoned media executive, entrepreneur and technologist who has worked at Forbes,
Dow Jones, Digiday and Travel + Leisure. His team includes engineers, journalists and advisors who have worked at the world's
largest tech, media and marketing companies, including Google, BBC News, the Pulitzer Center, CNN, Bloomberg, Casper, McCann,
Viacom and The Washington Post.
Jeff Koyen, Chief Strategy Officer, stated: "We're building an enterprise service for global media companies, social media
networks and other third parties fighting the spread of misinformation online. This is a highly scalable, disruptive technology
that will serve the public interest by stopping the spread of fake news."
Pressland's CTO, Nicholas Zaillian, is assembling a team of top artificial intelligence and natural language processing experts
based in New York, Israel and Mountain View, California. The company estimates it will cost up to US$1 million for engineering and
development costs for the platform over the next two years. Planned revenue streams include enterprise-grade data licensing, paid
tools for media professionals, subscription fees and trade intelligence services.
George Tsafalas, CEO, stated: "We're thrilled to have recognized Pressland's globally disruptive potential at the earliest
stage. Our investment in time and capital are proving to be well-spent, and we expect Pressland to far exceed our expectations when
it comes to market this year."
Brian Keane, Director, added: "Codebase Ventures is a small, hands-on team of financial and technology experts who invest
early in great ideas. We operate from the understanding that technology is always evolving, bringing early opportunities for
strategic investments that can deliver the exponential returns to our shareholders. We seek out and empower the innovators who are
building tomorrow's standards with platforms and protocols, not just products. We invest early, support our founders, take their
ideas to market and work tirelessly to help them realize their vision."
