VANCOUVER, Sept. 23, 2019 /CNW/ - Katipult Technology Corp. (TSXV:FUND - Frankfurt: K10) ("Katipult" or the "Company") announces that the co-founders of Katipult, Mr. Brock Murray (Chief Executive Officer and Director) and Mr. Pheak Meas (Chief Product Officer and Director) (the "Vendors") have each agreed to sell from their personal holdings 2,625,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the "Common Shares") and to grant options to acquire a further 2,625,000 Common Shares (the "Options") from their personal holdings.  The Common Shares and Options are being acquired by Mr. Brian Craig (Director) and Mr. Michael Broadfoot (Board Observer) (the "Purchasers").  Prior to closing this transaction, Mr. Murray currently holds 21,000,000 Common Shares and Mr. Meas currently holds 21,000,000 Common Shares.

The Common Shares are being purchased at a price of $0.25 per Common Share and the Options will be exercisable at a price of $0.25 per Common Share for a period of 5 years from the date of grant (subject to certain accelerated exercise provisions in favour of the Vendors). 

The Purchasers each currently hold $1,000,000 of unsecured convertible debentures of the Company issued on May 30, 2018 (the "Debentures").  The Debentures are convertible, subject to the terms thereof, into approximately 1,960,785 Common Shares (without including any accrued interest, which may also be converted to Common Shares at the election of the Purchasers). 

Assuming exercise of the Options and conversion of the principal amount of the Debentures into Common Shares, Mr. Craig would eventually hold 7,291,430 Common Shares (including 80,645 Common Shares currently held by Mr. Craig) and Mr. Broadfoot would eventually hold 7,210,785 Common Shares.  

Mr. Murray and Mr. Meas are selling a portion of their shares for personal financial reasons.  Mr. Craig and Mr. Broadfoot are purchasing to increase their overall investment levels in the Company and expect to be long term holders of the stock.

Closing of the transactions is expected to occur late in September or early in October once due process for new share certificates is completed.
