Newsfile Corp.
·7 min read

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2020) - Appreciated Media Holdings Inc. (TSXV: AMH) (OTCQB: WDRFF) (formerly, The Wonderfilm Media Corporation) ("Appreciated Media" or the "Company")  is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (the "Letter of Intent") with Appreciated Entertainment Ltd. ("Appreciated Entertainment") pursuant to which it will acquire the business and assets of Appreciated Music ("Appreciated Music"), a Vancouver based record label owned and operated by Appreciated Entertainment for an aggregate purchase price of $750,000 (the "Purchase Price").

Founded in 2019 by Stephen Brown and Appreciated Entertainment, Appreciated Music is an independent record label with a catalog that includes Black Pontiac, a young Pop/Rock group currently on the New Music Top 100 Charts at #16; Nick Beezy, a young Hip Hop/Rapper from Los Angeles currently on the New Music Top 100 Charts at #37; and Christos, a Pop sensation that is expected to release his first single "Boomerang" to radio this May.

In addition, Appreciated Music holds the rights to re-record 14 hit songs from the Superstar group "The Bee Gees" as a Country music tribute using many recognized Country Superstars. Recording is expected to begin in summer 2020.

Stephen Brown, the Chief Executive Officer of Appreciated Media and the sole shareholder of Appreciated Entertainment, stated, "In furtherance of our strategy to develop a division in the music industry, the acquisition of Appreciated Music allows us to integrate an independent record label into our offering. We will focus on continuing to expand our talent roster and the placement of our music catalog in films, trailers and soundtracks. This transaction is integral to kick-starting the development and operation of our music division."

In an effort to evidence its support of Appreciated Media, Appreciated Entertainment has transferred all of Appreciated Entertainment's right, title and interest in the following completed scripts:

  1. Naked Gun 4.0 "Pink Heat" for which Appreciated Entertainment is currently in negotiations with an A-list Actress for the lead role; and

  2. Tiny, a biographical feature movie on the life of "Tiny Tim," known also as Herbert Butros Khaury, an American singer, ukulele player, and musical archivist for which Appreciated Entertainment is currently in negotiations with an A-list Actor for the lead role.

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, the Purchase Price for the acquisition of Appreciated Music (the "Transaction") will be satisfied through the issuance of 7,500,000 common shares in the capital of Appreciated Media (the "Common Shares"), which Common Shares are to be issued at a deemed price per Common Share of $0.10 and, of which: (i) 4,250,000 Common Shares will be issued at the time of closing of the Transaction; and (ii) 3,250,000 Common Shares will be issued upon receipt of shareholder approval pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange"). All Common Shares proposed to be issued pursuant to the Transaction will be issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable securities legislation and will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with such applicable securities legislation and policies of the Exchange. No finder's fees are payable as a result of the proposed Transaction.

The parties currently intend to negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement for the Transaction, which will include customary terms and conditions for transactions of this nature, including (i) completion of due diligence by the Company; and (ii) the receipt of all necessary regulatory, corporate and third party approvals, including the approval of the Exchange, any shareholder approvals or consents that may be required under the policies of the Exchange, and compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements and conditions in connection with the Transaction. The proposed Transaction is expected to close on or about May 15, 2020. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be negotiated or that the Transaction will be completed as proposed, if at all.

Appreciated Entertainment is wholly owned by Steven Brown, Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and is a non-arm's length party to the Company. As a result, the proposed Transaction will constitute a "related party transaction" under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of MI 61-101 as a result of the securities of the Company being listed on the Exchange and a determination that neither the fair market value of the subject matter of, nor the fair market value of the consideration for, the proposed Transaction, insofar as it involves interested parties, exceeds 25% of the market capitalization of the Company.

In addition to the foregoing: (i) as previously announced by the Company on March 24, 2020, the Company has issued an aggregate of 1,625,732 Common Shares in settlement of $211,345.22 of debt; and (ii) the Company has issued an additional 588,235 Common Shares upon the conversion of $100,000 of the Company's 8% unsecured convertible debentures.

All Common Shares issued pursuant to the shares for debt transaction have been issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable securities legislation and will be subject to a four-month hold period, in accordance with such applicable securities legislation.
