20.01.2017  |  Newsfile
Toronto, January 20, 2017 - Delrand Resources Ltd. (TSXV: DRN.H) ("Delrand" or the "Company") announced today that it has entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") with KuuHubb Oy ("KuuHubb") and its shareholder, pursuant to which Delrand will, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, acquire all of the outstanding shares of KuuHuub (the "Transaction"). The Transaction, if completed, will constitute a "Change of Business" for Delrand under Policy 5.2 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Transaction is an arm's length transaction and no Insider, promoter or Control Person (as such terms are defined in the policies of the Exchange) of Delrand has any material interest in KuuHubb prior to giving effect to the Transaction.


KuuHubb Oy

KuuHubb is a Finnish corporation established in October 2014 by Jouni Keränen. Christian Kolster and Tero Kuittinen joined in 2016 with the goal of building an attractive portfolio of companies in the digital entertainment business segment. The company focuses on underappreciated app categories with robust monetization and substantial global growth opportunities.

KuuHubb's mission is to be the gateway to the digital highway between East and West for mobile and virtual reality content.

KuuHubb targets promising niches already generating real revenue and with a clear potential of wider mass market sales success. The company fosters growth of these possible future boom genres rather than chasing after categories that became widely popular years ago.

On December 1, 2016 KuuHubb acquired the assets and naming rights of Kemojo Studios ("Kemojo"), which is an independent video game developer based in Gastown, Vancouver, involved in developing and distributing online games including: Drone Wars; Convergence Wars; Tap Cats; Idle Warfare; Undead City; Atomic Delivery; Wasteland Raiders; Battlewack: Idle Lords; Battlewack: Online; Dungeon Runners; Tokyo Tug of War; and Wreck this City.

Kemojo is set to release Drone Wars, an aerial combat simulator mobile game. Drone Wars puts the player in command through the infrared lens of a special ops drone operator. The game features countless elite missions, challenges and campaigns inspired from today's headlines.

Christian Kolster and Jouni Keranen reside in Finland and Tero Kuittinen resides in New York, United States. The sole shareholder of KuuHubb (as described below) is a company registered pursuant to the laws of Estonia.


The Transaction

The Share Exchange Agreement provides that Delrand will, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, acquire all of the outstanding shares of KuuHubb in exchange for the issuance by Delrand to KuuHubb's shareholder of a total of 9,800,000 common shares (each, a "Delrand Share") of Delrand. Further, Delrand will be required to issue up to 2,735,000 common share purchase warrants to certain service providers and lenders of KuuHubb (each such warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Delrand Share at a price of CDN$0.50 exercisable for a period of two (2) years from the date of issuance) and issue pursuant to Delrand's stock option plan up to 2,700,000 stock options (exercisable at a price of CDN$0.60 per share for a period of five (5) years) to current directors, officers and consultants of KuuHubb.

In addition, in accordance with the terms of the agreement pursuant to which KuuHubb purchased Kemojo, following completion of the Transaction, at the option of Delrand, Delrand my issue additional Delrand Shares to satisfy certain payment obligations under the terms of such agreement. Further information regarding the potential issuance of Delrand Shares will be included in a future press release of Delrand.

Delrand intends to change its name to KuuHubb Inc. concurrently with the completion of the Transaction. It is planned that the development and creation of the games of KuuHubb Inc. will be based in Vancouver, Canada, with additional administrative offices of KuuHubb Inc. to be located in Helsinki, Finland and Toronto, Canada (the Toronto office will be the registered office).

Financial information for KuuHubb will be provided in the Exchange filing statement of Delrand to be prepared in connection with the Transaction.

All of the issued and outstanding shares of KuuHubb are owned by Joki Capital Ou, an Estonian company owned and controlled by Jouni Keränen and Christian Kolster. Upon completion of the Transaction, Joki Capital Ou will own 9,800,000 Delrand Shares representing approximately 37.2% of the issued and outstanding Delrand Shares (not including any Delrand Shares issued pursuant to the Offering (as defined below)).


Private Placement

Completion of the Transaction is conditional upon, among other things, the completion of a private placement (the "Offering") of subscription receipts of Delrand (the "Subscription Receipts") for gross proceeds of up to CDN$8,000,000.

(the "Agent") and a subscription receipt agent. The said subscription receipt agreement will provide for the exchange of the Subscription Receipts into Delrand Shares upon the completion of the Transaction.

Delrand intends to enter into an agency agreement (the "Agency Agreement") with the Agent pursuant to which Delrand will engage the Agent to serve as an agent in connection with the Offering.
