TORONTO , March 24, 2021 – Kontrol Technologies Corp. (CSE: KNR) (OTCQB: KNRLF) (FSE: 1K8) (” Kontrol Technologies ” or ” Kontrol ” or ” Company “) is pleased to announce today that it intends to implement a normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) through the facilities of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) or alternative trading systems.
Pursuant to the NCIB, Kontrol may purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months starting March 25, 2021 and ending March 25, 2022 , up to 2,061,236 common shares (approx. 5% of its common shares issued and outstanding as of March 24, 2021 ). As of March 24, 2021 , there were 41,224,731 common shares of Kontrol issued and outstanding. On any given day, during the NCIB, Kontrol may only purchase up to 69,500 common shares, which is equivalent to 25% of the Average Daily Trading Volume of 278,000 calculated based on the trading volumes on the CSE over the past 12 months and may purchase once per calendar week, in a block trade, a greater number of Common Shares.
Purchases under the NCIB may commence as of March 25, 2021 and will end on the earlier of: (i) March 25, 2022 ; or (ii) the date on which the Company has purchased the maximum number of common shares to be acquired under the NCIB.

The actual number of common shares which will be purchased, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by the Company, and the price which the Company will pay for the common shares will be the market price at the time of the purchase.

AnnounceD that it has entered into a collaboration with chef Anne Thornton to create exclusive meals inspired by Chef Thornton’s famous Plant Reset program, a five-day, plant-powered, sustainable-living meal initiative.
The new ” PlantXReset ” meals will be available for delivery and distribution throughout Canada , and later on, in the United States through the Company’s e-commerce platforms.
VANCOUVER, BC , March 24, 2021 PlantX Life Inc. (CSE: VEGA ) (OTCQB: PLTXF) (Frankfurt: WNT1) (” PlantX ” or the ” Company “) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a collaboration with chef Anne Thornton to create exclusive meals inspired by Chef Thornton’s famous Plant Reset program, a five-day, plant-powered, sustainable-living meal initiative. The new ” PlantXReset ” meals will be available for delivery and distribution throughout Canada , and later on, in the United States through the Company’s e-commerce platforms.
Chef Thornton is a classically trained chef, culinary sustainability expert, writer, TV personality and former host of Food Network’s “Dessert First.” Best known for her signature nutritious and versatile food, Chef Thornton works with top nutritionists and doctors to create holistically healing recipes that meet her clients’ varied well-being needs. She has 15 years of successful culinary experience across the United States . She was an executive chef at Little Pine in Los Angeles , the organic vegan restaurant named Restaurant of the Year by VegNews in 2016. As an executive chef at NeueHouse, a private workspace and cultural home for creators, innovators and thought leaders in L.A., she spearheaded a sustainability culinary initiative by providing creative menus using sustainable, local, plant-based ingredients.
Chef Thornton’s passion for health and wellness and her love for the planet shine through her Plant Reset program, a high-impact initiative based on designing and offering five-day programs of organic, non-processed and locally sourced meals aimed at reducing carbon footprint, boosting the immune system and improving energy levels. The Plant Reset program includes nutrient-dense, superfood-laden, adaptogen-laced, gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, dairy-free, soy-free, corn-free, low-fat meals tailored to everyday needs – from breakfast, lunch and dinner ideas to snacks, broths, juices and elixirs.
“Reset recipes are designed to increase focus, improve gut health, clear brain fog and alleviate a myriad of other issues while enabling enjoyment of delicious food and drinks”, said Chef Thornton. “Moreover, beyond saving time, energy and calories by outsourcing their meal planning, shopping and cooking, Reset customers can also save 5,610 gallons of water, 204 pounds of grain, 153 square feet of forest, 102 pounds of CO 2 , and five animal lives by eating the 100% vegan and organic Reset meals for five days.”
Each Reset subscription offered by Chef Thornton currently includes 15 healing meals, snacks and juices, as well as a donation of 15 organic plant-based meals to the L.A. homeless community. The Reset program has seen exceptional success in L.A., and the demand for it has exceeded Chef Thornton’s current capacity to serve her growing pool of celebrity clients.
“I am so excited about this collaboration with PlantX,” added Chef Thornton. “I have so much respect for the team and their mission to bring delicious plant-based food to everyone, easily and efficiently. I am thrilled that people all over North America will have the opportunity to take part in this delicious, enlivening, healing and energizing protocol.”
Through the new partnership with PlantX, Chef Thornton will share her passions and culinary talents by developing the new PlantXReset program. As part of this program, she will include her own unique and delicious Reset recipes and apply her creative and sustainable Reset design to the meals already available on the PlantX platform through UpMeals, the Company’s meal delivery partner.
“Anne is a legend in the culinary industry, and we are so excited to start our collaboration with her,” said Sean Dollinger , PlantX founder. “Her incredible expertise and dedication to human and planetary health are fully aligned with PlantX’s values, and together we hope to help our plant-based community thrive and reach new levels of health and wellness”.

About Anne Thornton
Anne Thornton is a classically trained professional chef with a finance background. She is quite unique in that she has held the roles of executive chef, executive pastry chef and GM. Her creativity is informed by her financial acumen, which has helped all the projects she has worked on to be financially successful. She first came to be known in New York City for her tantalizing treats as the pastry chef of The Waverly Inn, and then internationally as the host of “Dessert First with Anne Thornton ” on Food Network. After her show wrapped, Anne decided to move to Los Angeles to explore her entrepreneurial spirit and open restaurants focused on local seasonal produce. Anne was Moby’s original partner in Little Pine. Having left the project before opening, she returned 87 days after opening to step in as executive chef and GM. She had to create an all-new business model, food, service, training, systems and acquire new staff to make the restaurant desirable and profitable, all while maintaining service. While she was at the helm, in 2016 Little Pine was named Vegetarian Restaurant of the Year. In 2017, she returned to New York City and opened 33 Greenwich to rave reviews in Manhattan’s West Village neighborhood. Next, she started working as the consulting executive chef and acting COO for Rose Avenue Foods product line and for Robotic Food Concepts. She helped develop their product concept and created all of their recipes, commercial formulations, costing, packaging and sourcing, and she evaluated co-packers and met with VCs and worked with them on their branding and marketing. In September 2019 , Anne stepped into the role of executive chef of NeueHouse. In her first three months in the role, she changed all menus, switched to organic and sustainable purveyors, recruited the top cooks and managers in the city, while also implementing sustainable systems and practices, such as recycling and composting.

As the name implies, ImagineAR (IP:CSE / IPNFF:OTCQB) is an Augmented Reality Company … but they’re not just any AR company. Imagine enables businesses to create their own mobile phone AR campaigns with no programming or technology experience. Why is that important? Ask Apple CEO Tim Cook who stated
“AR Will play an important role in how we use technology in the future – and promises to be as influential in our society as the smart phone”
For those of you that are just discovering Augmented Reality, “AR” is essentially a technology that lays digital images and graphics over the real world, typically by looking through your cell phone or special glasses. If you think it sounds like a gimmick, it isn’t. AR will create an entire new revenue stream for businesses, organizations and sports teams that will boggle the mind in the next 3 years.
ImagineAR provides small cap investors with an opportunity to participate in the growth of this mega market in the making …. and they they are having a record Q1 to prove it, including being selected by First Tube Media to bring its AR to livestream programs. On it’s face, you can’t blame investors for thinking “ok, cool little initiative” …. until you discover ImagineAR will premier its AR capabilities at GrubHub Sound Bites, featuring none other than 3-time Grammy Winner and Global Superstar Megan Thee Stallion this Friday night March 26th!
And then there’s the Company’s partnership with Liquid Avatar Technologies (LQID:CSE) to bring AR Enhanced NFTs to market through Oasis Digital Studios, which on its face you couldn’t blame investors for once again thinking “ok cool little initiative” … until you discover:
On March 15th they teamed up with McCartney Media Inc to support the development of AR Enhanced NFT’s for the entertainment and lifestyle sectors, becoming a major player in the NFT space.
Today, just two weeks later, LQID, IP and McCartney Multimedia announced that renowned photographer, artist and former music executive, May Pang is bringing her personal and exclusive collection of John Lennon’s Lost Weekend photographs featuring her intimate 18 months with the rock ‘n’ roll icon to the Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collector market through Oasis Digital Studios.
In two weeks Oasis has moved from an exciting initiative to on the verge of making NFT history.
Watch this incredible interview with CEO Alen Paul Silverrstieen to discover how fast ImagineAR is moving and why Q1 is just the beginning of what’s to come in 2021.
