VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 2, 2020 / Mota Ventures Corp. (CSE: MOTA FSE: 1WZ:GR OTC: PEMTF) (the "Company" or "Mota") announces that it has agreed to terminate the letter of intent between Mota and Stillcanna Inc. ("Stillcanna") dated February 25, 2020 (the "Letter of Intent") and announced on February 26, 2020. The mutual decision to end merger discussions was the result of current market conditions, which have made it difficult to meet the requirements of the Letter of Intent, as well as negative investor sentiment.
"After assessing the current market conditions and the sentiment of our shareholders, we have mutually decided with Stillcanna to terminate our letter of intent. Furthermore, we will no longer proceed with the announced financing tied to the acquisition as we do not have the financial need at this time. We are an established E-commerce business and will continue to execute our planned expansion into the European market," stated Ryan Hoggan, CEO of the Company.
In connection with the termination of the Letter of Intent, Mota will no longer proceed with its previously announced private placement of units to raise gross proceeds of $5,000,000.
About Mota Ventures Corp.
