SEATTLE, April 9, 2019 (Newswire.com) - ​One Web Services Inc. (“OWS”), the owner and operator of the cannabis price comparison website Wikileaf.com, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with Kona Capital Ltd. (“Kona”) to acquire a 100 percent interest in OWS, which will constitute a reverse takeover of Kona by the shareholders of OWS (the “Transaction”). The Transaction will be completed by way of merger under the Washington Business Corporation Act. It is a condition of the Transaction that the combined company (the “Resulting Issuer”) will seek a listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE”) under the symbol "WIKI."

On the closing of the Transaction, Chuck Rifici will be appointed as the Chairman of the Resulting Issuer and Dan Nelson, Manoj Hippola and Patrick Lalonde as the Resulting Issuer’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, respectively. The Board of Directors of the Resulting Issuer will include Chuck Rifici (Chairman), Dan Nelson, Manoj Hippola, Megan Sanders, Josh Babyak, Cy Scott and Connor Cruise.

Merger Agreement

OWS and Kona entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which OWS and a subsidiary of Kona will merge and Kona will continue as the Resulting Issuer and change its name to “Wikileaf Technologies Inc.” Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the following will occur at closing:

• 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 9.8078 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.

The closing of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to take place on or about May 1, 2019. The securities issued to the directors, officers and other "insiders" (as defined in applicable securities laws) of the Resulting Issuer will be subject to escrow in accordance with National Policy 46-201 Escrow for Initial Public Offerings and certain other shareholders of the Resulting Issuer will also be subject to contractual restrictions on their shareholdings at listing.

Private Placement

OWS and Kona have completed a private placement of subscription receipts for gross proceeds of $6,638,000, exceeding the minimum financing condition in the Merger Agreement of $5,500,000. OWS and Kona intend to seek additional investors and complete a second closing by the end of April.
