(Vert Capital - Oreva Capital - High Times Media -HITM- Adam Levin - Vertville - The Origo Merger - The Perfect Match IMO)

Vert has 4 acquisitions between May 2015-August 2016..Vertville!


-(The Origo HTH Merger)-

“As we previously announced, Origo entered into a merger agreement, dated July 24, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”), with Hightimes Holding Corp. (“HTH”) and certain other parties, which provides for the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Origo with and into HTH (the “Merger”), with HTH remaining as the surviving entity and a wholly owned subsidiary of Origo”.

-( HITM symbol)-
“Origo intends to apply for the listing of the common stock of the Successor on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) or the NYSE:AMERICAN following the consummation of the Merger, under the symbol ***HITM*** Origo also intends to apply for the listing of the redeemable warrants, rights, and units of the Successor on Nasdaq or the NYSE:AMERICAN.”


-(Oreva/Adam connection to the Merger)-

“In consideration for such services, the Successor will pay Oreva a monthly consulting fee of $35,000. Commencing in 2018, Oreva may elect to have all or any portion of the consulting fee deferred and paid in shares of the Successor’s common stock, at a per share price equal to 100% of the closing price of the stock of the Successor. Adam Levin, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of HTH, is Managing Director of Oreva Capital Corp.”


**(Why HITM needs Pixelmags and Vertville/ Oreva)**

“Shifts to digital platforms present several challenges to High Times Group’s historical business model, which is based on the production and distribution of print magazines. In order to remain successful, High Times Group must continue to attract readers and advertisers to its print products while also continue to adapt its business model to address changing consumer demand for digital content across a wide variety of devices and platforms.”

**(sounds like a perfect fit)**

“Also, the shift to digital distribution platforms, many of which are controlled by third parties, may lead to pricing restrictions, the loss of distribution control, further loss of a direct relationship with advertisers and consumers and greater susceptibility to technological problems or failures in third-party systems as compared to High Times Group’s existing print distribution operations. Further, High Times Group may be required to incur significant costs as it continues to acquire new expertise and infrastructure to accommodate the shift to digital platforms, including additional consumer software and digital and mobile content development expertise, and it may not be able to economically adapt existing print production and distribution assets to support its digital operations. If High Times Group is unable to successfully manage the transition to a greater emphasis on digital platforms, continue to negotiate mutually agreeable arrangements with digital distributors or otherwise respond to changes in technology and consumer behavior, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected. “

*(In house operations are a hell of a lot cheaper)*

*(Pixelmags / Vertville all day)*

“In order to respond to changing consumer behaviors, High Times Group needs to invest in new technologies and platforms to deliver content and provide products and services where consumers demand it. If the High Times Group fails to develop or acquire the necessary consumer-facing technologies or if the technologies it develops or acquires are not received favorably by consumers, its business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected. In addition, as its business evolves and it develops new revenue streams, the High Times Group must develop or invest in new technology and infrastructure that satisfy the needs of the changing business. If it fails to do so, its business, financial condition and prospects may suffer. Further, if it fails to update its current technology and infrastructure to minimize the potential for business disruption, High Times Group’s business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected.”

*( Pixelmags/Vertville all day )

“Technology used in the publishing industry continues to evolve rapidly, and advances in that technology have led to alternative methods for the delivery and consumption of content, including via mobile devices such as smartphones. These technological developments have driven changes in consumer behavior, especially among younger demographics. Shifts to digital platforms present several challenges to High Times Group’s historical business model, which is based on the production and distribution of print magazines. In order to remain successful, High Times Group must continue to attract readers and advertisers to its print products while also continue to adapt its business model to address changing consumer demand for digital content across a wide variety of devices and platforms.”

*(can this get any better)*
*(sounds like a perfect fit)*
*(Pixelmags to the Rescue)**
*(Vertville to the Rescue )**

“In addition, the advertising industry continues to experience a shift toward digital advertising. Because rates for digital advertising are generally lower than for traditional print advertising, High Times Group’s digital advertising revenue may not fully replace print advertising revenue lost as a result of the shift. Growing consumer reliance on mobile devices adds additional pressure, as advertising rates are generally lower on mobile devices than on personal computers. If High Times Group is unable to effectively grow digital advertising revenues through the development of advertising products that are compelling to both marketers and consumers, its business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.”

(Pixelmags to the Rescue !!)
(Vertville to the Rescue !!)


-(Origo HT Merger )-
“At the Closing, the Successor will enter into a Consulting Services Agreement with Oreva Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Consultant” or “Oreva”), pursuant to which the Consultant is to perform certain services for the Successor, including administrative services, dealing with investment bankers, investor relations consultants and other members of the investment community, ?-and assisting in connection with ***proposed acquisitions****, ?dispositions and financings. Adam Levin, the Chief Executive Officer and a director of HTH, is Managing Director of Oreva. “??**(Pixelmags and Vertville are the Answers they’re looking for IMO)**

-(Additional information)-
**High Times Fins are Done !
**Pixel / SPCL have to be next-

**(HITM has a new Address)
“Effective November 1, 2017, HTH entered into a one year sublease of approximately 2,500 square feet of office space at ??10990 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90024?? at a monthly rental of $10,000. HTH may renew the lease for a second year at the same rent. The lessor is Pride Media, Inc., a corporation controlled by Adam E. Levin, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. See “Related Party Transactions.”

*Oreva picked up another company-“Here Publishing".

"We are looking for brands that have strong emotional ties with a community," he said. "We think there is a unique opportunity in niche media brands that are undervalued and have further ways to monetize the intellectual property."

**The new HITM Address **is the Here / Pride Media building)
