Wikileaf, Leading Cannabis Price Comparison Website, to Go Public via Kona Capital

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, November 27, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Kona Capital Ltd. (“Kona” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated as of November 27, 2018 (the “Letter of Intent”) with Seattle based One Web Services Inc. (“OWS”), the owner and operator of the cannabis price comparison website Wikileaf.com. The Letter of Intent outlines the proposed terms and conditions pursuant to which Kona and OWS will effect a business combination that will result in a reverse takeover of Kona by the securityholders of OWS (the “Proposed Transaction”).

Wikileaf.com is a leading price comparison website that assists cannabis consumers in finding location-based pricing information about individual marijuana strains, brands and products – at the critical moment when they are deciding where to spend their money. With millions of inquiries on the Wikileaf platform, that are tied to specific geographical locations, Wikileaf is able to provide an understanding of local customer habits trends and user psychographics to individual dispensaries and brands that will help inform their inventory purchasing, product stocking and strain cultivation decisions.

As presently contemplated, it is expected that the Proposed Transaction will be completed by way of share exchange or similar business combination transaction. It is a condition of the Proposed Transaction that the resulting issuer files a non-offering prospectus and applies to list the common shares of the resulting issuer on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Under the terms of the Proposed Transaction:

• the outstanding common shares and preferred shares of OWS (together, the “OWS Shares”) will be exchanged for common shares of Kona on the basis of 9.45206 Kona common shares for each OWS Share (the “Exchange Ratio”);
• the outstanding stock options of OWS will represent an entitlement to receive common shares of Kona on the basis of the Exchange Ratio.

As part of the Proposed Transaction, OWS and Kona expect to engage an agent in connection with a “best efforts” private placement offering (the “Financing”) of a minimum of C$7,500,000 in common shares of Kona at a price per common shares to be determined in the context of the market (provided that the minimum valuation of the resulting issuer shall be C$50 million). The completion of the Financing will be subject to, among other things, the execution of definitive documentation and the completion of all necessary due diligence.
