Stockholm IT Ventures AB: STOCKHOLM IT VENTURES AB AGREES DEAL TO ACQUIRE BLOCKCHAIN TRADE TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

Nacka Strand, 13. July 2017 (pta033/13.07.2017/18:00 UTC+2) ISIN Nr. SE 0006027546. Following on from the announcement on May 30th, 2017, Stockholm IT Ventures AB has confirmed the purchase of UK based Blockchain Trade Technologies Ltd, following on from its recent purchase of Fantrac Global Ltd and Pimboo OU. The deal has been concluded and Stockholm IT Ventures AB will take ownership of all proprietary technologies. Payment of 500 million shares will be released six months from the date of the contract being signed, and will be subject to performance targets that have been agreed, which include the requirement for the company to make a 1.5million euro profit in that period.
Blockchain Trade Technologies Ltd is the owner of proprietary technology that allows networking platform users to follow early stage companies and use crypto currencies. This propriety technology adds to the portfolio of IT and social media companies acquired by Stockholm IT Ventures AB. This acquisition adds to the growing monetisation of social media that is the focus of Stockholm IT Ventures AB.
Wayne Lochner, Chairman of Stockholm IT Ventures AB said "we are delighted to have agreed a deal with Blockchain Trade Technologies Ltd as it brings an already successful company in to the group. We hope to complete the integration into the group quickly and seamlessly. The acquisition will undoubtedly strengthen the company as we continue to look to grow the group portfolio. Tony Norman will be stepping down as Group CEO with immediate effect to focus on developing the proprietary technologies and ensuring smooth integration of all companies within the group."
