VANCOUVER, British Columbia and LONDON, Sept. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Blockmate Ventures Inc (TSX.V: MATE) (FSE: 8MH1) ("Blockmate" or “the Company") advises that yesterday, September 21, 2023, it entered into a binding agreement to divest its Midpoint foreign exchange business.
The 100% sale of Midpoint to David Wong for a nominal figure will allow Blockmate to focus all of its resources towards the blockchain, battery and clean energy ventures within its portfolio. By divesting Midpoint, Blockmate is expected to reduce its net cash outflows by approximately $500,000 per annum.
Justin Rosenberg, CEO of Blockmate, said: “Blockmate is focused on building fast growing technology businesses and we have identified exciting opportunities in the climate and energy storage sectors. The sale of Midpoint frees up our resources to pursue those opportunities. We wish David and the rest of the Midpoint team every success.”
The offer from Mr Wong came after negotiations between Blockmate and Klearium Inc to acquire 85% of Midpoint Group concluded without a binding agreement.
Pending approval from the TSX Venture Exchange, settlement of the transaction is expected to take place on or before October 31, 2023.
No finders’ fees or commissions are payable in connection with the transaction.
