  • Program will consist of printed and digital comic books, digital avatars produced for the Liquid Avatar Mobile App and Marketplace, and AR enhanced NFT collectibles with Oasis

TORONTO, ON and VANCOUVER, BC and ERIE, PA /April 12, 2021 / Liquid Avatar Technologies Inc. (CSE:LQID)(OTC PINK:TRWRF)(FRA:4T51) (“Liquid Avatar Technologies” or the “Company“,), a global blockchain, digital-identity and fintech solutions company, together with ImagineAR Inc. (IP) (IPNFF), an Augmented Reality platform company, are excited to announce that Oasis Digital Studios (“Oasis”) has partnered with Apex Comics Group to publish Mr. Right, a new multimedia project by legendary Marvel Entertainment and pop culture veterans Tom DeFalco, Ron Frenz, and Sal Buscema.

The program will consist of printed and digital comic books, digital avatars produced for the Liquid Avatar Mobile App and Marketplace, and AR enhanced NFT collectibles with Oasis. A sneak preview of the program will be made virtually on April 13th at the special presentation “NFTs Myths, Market, Media & Mania,” hosted by Liquid Avatar, ImagineAR and Oasis Digital Studios: https://hello.liquidavatar.com/oasis-webinar-registration.

The integrated campaign, expected to launch in early summer, will feature a series of limited-edition print and digital comic books, along with collector-enhanced NFTs, Liquid Avatar digital icons available in the Liquid Avatar Marketplace, and a fully immersive Augmented Reality multimedia program. A pre-sale waiting list is available for prospective purchasers and NFT collectors at the Oasis website: www.oasisdigitalstudios.com

Mr. Right is led by Tom DeFalco, who was Marvel’s 10th Editor-in-Chief. During his tenure, the company had the most successful fiscal and creative years in its entire eight-decade history. DeFalco was a driving force innovating the entire Marvel Universe with creative concepts used to this day in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He also worked closely with the toy manufacturer Hasbro in the 1980s, heading the creative team that produced the backstory and dossiers that served as the basis for the relaunch of the phenomenally successful G.I. Joe toy line and animated television show.” DeFalco is the author of dozens of graphic novels and hundreds of comic-book stories, including The Amazing Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, Thor, Justice League of America, Archie, Scooby-Doo, and Dazzler, and with artist Ron Frenz created New Warriors and Spider-Girl.

DeFalco has personally created and developed over three dozen characters that have been licensed for television, toys, T-shirts, posters, trading cards and other merchandise, and has written Khan and The Phantom for Moonstone Books. In 1990, he won a Comic-Con International’s Inkpot Award, given to individuals for their contributions to the worlds of comics, science fiction/fantasy, film, television, animation, and fandom services.

For almost 40 years, renowned comic-book artist Ron Frenz has drawn some of the industry’s most iconic characters, including Spider-Man, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, She-Hulk, Silver Surfer, Green Lantern, Superman and, as previously mentioned, co-created New Warriors and Spider-Girl with Tom DeFalco. Frenz received the 2009 Nemo Award for Excellence in the Cartoon Arts.

Renowned artist, penciler and inker Sal Buscema has been a fixture in the comic-book industry for almost 60 years, primarily with Marvel, where he spent long runs as artist of The Avengers, The Defenders and The Incredible Hulk. Starting in the industry shortly after graduating high school in 1955, Buscema went on to work in a number of ventures, including the military as an illustrator and later with his brother, famed comic-book artist, John Buscema. With industry credits too long to list, he penciled and mostly inked a 100-issue run on The Spectacular Spider-Man from from 1988 to 1996, Buscema’s DC Comics artwork contributions include Action Comics, Batman, Catwoman, Detective Comics, Green Arrow, Superboy, Superman and Wonder Woman, among others. For Marvel, his contributions include The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Battlestar Galactica, Captain America, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, Ghost Rider, Iron Man, Master of Kung Fu, Silver Surfer, She-Hulk, Rom, Thor, X-Men, and many others. Buscema has collaborated on numerous occasions with both Frenz and DeFalco.

Buscema received the Inkpot Award in 2003 and the Hero Initiative Lifetime Achievement Award in September 2013 at the Baltimore Comic-Con. In 2013, he received the Inkwell Award‘s S.P.A.M.I. (Favorite Small Press and Mainstream-Independent) Award for his work on such titles as G.I. Joe Annual and Dungeons and Dragons: Forgotten Realms. In 2018, he was awarded the Inkwell Awards’ S.P.A.M.I. Award again, for his work on Rom.

“Apex Comics Group is incredibly fortunate to have Tom, Ron and Sal aboard to helm the creative direction for Mr. Right. As a lifelong fan of their work, I can’t wait for the world to see the new adventures they have dreamed up!” – Mariano Nicieza, Apex Comics Group President

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) are digital assets that represent a wide range of unique tangible and intangible items, from art, comic books and collectible sports cards to virtual real estate and even digital sneakers. One of the main benefits of owning a digital collectible versus a physical collectible like a rookie card or a rare-minted coin is that each NFT contains distinguishing information that makes it both distinct from any other NFT and easily verifiable. This makes the creation and circulation of fake collectibles pointless because each item can be traced back to the original issuer.

Mr. Right
Mr. Right is the world’s first NFT super-athlete. Witness the thrill-packed origin of this digital daredevil as he takes on the savage hordes of Big Brother. PLUS, in a bonus story: When video gamer Jeffery “Player One” Lopez’s detective mother is attacked by the Dead Presidents Gang, he turns to the one man who can bring her assailants to justice – Mr. Right, the new champion of split-second action!

“Ron, Sal and I are thrilled to be partnered with Liquid Avatar, Oasis Digital Studios and Apex Comics. NFTs, digital icons and comics are all poised to break new ground in the craft of visual storytelling, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for all of us. Hoo-Ha and thanks for joining us!” – Tom DeFalco

The Oasis AR Enhanced NFT experience will be available exclusively through the Liquid Avatar Mobile App, which allows the user to create digital icons to manage, control and create value from their biometrically verified digital identity.It is available in the Google Play and Apple App stores.

KWESST $KWE.ca $KWEMF Announces Upsizing of Previously Announced Brokered Private Placement $WRTC $BYRN.ca $PAT.ca $POWW

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:37 AM on Friday, April 9th, 2021

  • Announce that in connection with its previously announced brokered private placement (the “Offering“), the Company and PI Financial Corp., the lead agent and sole bookrunner (the “Lead Agent“) for the Offering, have agreed to increase the size of the Offering to raise total gross proceeds of $4 million.
  • The Company now intends to issue 3,200,000 units of the Company (the “Units“) at a price of C$1.25 per Unit.
  • The 3,200,000 Units have been allocated to subscribers and the Offering is scheduled to close on or about April 29, 2021, or such date as agreed upon between the Company and the Lead Agent.
  • Given the upsize to the Offering, the parties have agreed to remove the previously announced over-allotment option.

Ottawa, Ontario–(April 9, 2021) – KWESST Micro Systems Inc. (TSXV: KWE) (OTCQB: KWEMF) (“KWESST” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that in connection with its previously announced brokered private placement (the “Offering“), the Company and PI Financial Corp., the lead agent and sole bookrunner (the “Lead Agent“) for the Offering, have agreed to increase the size of the Offering to raise total gross proceeds of $4 million. The Company now intends to issue 3,200,000 units of the Company (the “Units“) at a price of C$1.25 per Unit. The 3,200,000 Units have been allocated to subscribers and the Offering is scheduled to close on or about April 29, 2021, or such date as agreed upon between the Company and the Lead Agent. Given the upsize to the Offering, the parties have agreed to remove the previously announced over-allotment option.

“The KWESST Offering was very well received by investors and resulted in significant demand for our financing, which led to the increase in size announced today. The proceeds will be used to accelerate our go-to market initiatives of KWESST’s various products,” said Jeffrey MacLeod, KWESST’s President and CEO. “One of our priorities is to finalize the acquisition of the Low Energy Cartridge (“LEC”) non-lethal system, which is expected to close concurrently with the Offering, after which we will begin the commercialization of this product. The Company has an accelerated plan to roll out the LEC product in response to market interest and high growth across all segments of the non-lethal market where a strong preference is being expressed for a safer, cartridge-based system over traditional systems such as Taser, beanbag shotgun shells and rubber bullets that can and do result in fatalities.”

Other corporate priorities to be funded with the proceeds from the Offering include the productization of the GreyGhost micro-drone missile, ramping up the Company’s ATAK Centre of Excellence business, and accelerating the productization of the Phantom electronic decoy.

Each Unit will be comprised of one common share of the Company (a “Common Share“) and one Common Share purchase warrant (“Warrant“). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share“) at a price of C$1.75 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. If at any time after four (4) months and one (1) day following the Closing Date, the trading price of the Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is equal to or exceeds $3 for a period of 10 consecutive trading days, as evidenced by the price at the close of market, the Company shall be entitled to notify the holders of Warrants of its intention to force the exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt of such notice, the holders of Warrants shall have 30 days to exercise the Warrants, failing which the Warrants will automatically expire.

The securities to be issued under the Offering will be offered by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada and such other jurisdictions as may be determined by the Company, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws.

The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the Exchange. It is not a requirement for the closing of the Offering that the Company issues the entire 3,200,000 Units referenced above. The Units to be issued under the Offering will have a hold period of four months and one day from Closing.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), or any state securities laws, and accordingly, may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.

The video and photos depict the TASCS IFM system fitted on the 81 mm mortar and firing at a range of 2,600 metres. With TASCS IFM, the mortar team is able to acquire targets in 15 seconds compared to the traditional 15 minutes, and engage targets with unprecedented accuracy. The 81mm mortar is just one of many firing platforms that can be fitted with the TASCS IFM systems and requires no modification of the firing platform or ammunition. It effectively turns a traditional “dumb” firing platform into a “smart” weapons system by providing soldiers on the ground with real-time networked situational awareness and precision targeting information.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 07, 2021 — Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV RACMF:OTCQB) (the “Company” or “Loop”), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights and enhanced customer engagement to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to announce the Company has completed its integration to Vend’s Billing API, providing Vend retailers with seamless onboarding to Loop’s multi-domain, franchise compliance, and historical reporting solutions.

Loop Insights First to Integrate with Vend’s Billing API, Providing a Seamless Onboarding Option for Vend’s Global Client List of over 20,000 Customer Locations Worldwide

Vend Director of Product Partnerships Lowry Gladwell stated:
“The completion of Loop’s integration with the Vend Billing API is an example of how Vend works closely with partners to deliver value for our retailers. It has been great to see Loop’s enthusiasm for the project and we’re thrilled that our Vend retailers can now onboard clients to benefit from Loop’s products and services faster than ever before, giving them easier access to the multi-domain, franchise and historical reporting that Loop offers. Additionally, our announced acquisition by Lightspeed, which is expected to close towards the end of April, will allow Vend and Loop to reach new clients, with a particular focus on expansion in Asia-Pacific. I look forward to connecting Vend’s expanding customer base with Loop’s amazing solution stack.”

Loop Insights CEO Rob Anson stated: “Vend’s support of Loop’s integration to their Billing API speaks volumes about its confidence in Loop and our retail solutions. With the development of our Billing API integration now complete, both Loop and Vend are positioned to generate new sales opportunities through this successful partnership. Loop’s retail Insights service can now be onboarded to over 20,000 Vend customer locations, with the ability to scale to support Lightspeed’s 135,000 worldwide locations through Lightspeed’s recent acquisition of Vend. This API integration represents a massive revenue-generating opportunity for Loop, Vend, Lightspeed, and their many customers.”

Loop Insights is the first company to complete a full billing API integration with Vend, reflecting Vend’s confidence in Loop’s products and their ability to deliver value to Vend’s clients. Vend has introduced Loop to all of their customers worldwide through their digital customer newsletter and some Vend customers have already begun the onboarding process with Loop.  Vend is now expected to launch expanded sales and marketing campaigns in support of Loop and its API integration, explaining the benefits of Loop’s products and services to Vend’s growing customer list.

With Loop’s Insights, Engage, and Wallet pass platform all gaining interest from brands and retailers across the world, Vend will now be able to offer a simple onboarding process for retailers, drastically reducing the time required to integrate a new client and deploy Loop’s products and services.

On March 11th , Vend Director of Product Partnerships Lowry Gladwell joined the ‘Loop Experience’ podcast to discuss the benefits of Loop’s integration with the Vend API, particularly for franchisors looking to integrate multiple locations.
