SPINOUT 11/15 RECORD DATE
More details about the component assets of the spinout for shareholders of record November 15th, 2018 (the "Record Date") will be forthcoming.
BLOC President and CEO Shidan Gouran states, "Our conversations for collaboration with X2 have been in the making for close to a year now. As these relationships have strengthened, we have elected to capitalize on our synergies by way of an acquisition with X2. In addition to picking up X2's projects, we have also brought on two true pioneers, with track records that are second to none, to run and continue growing the leading blockchain company in the media, entertainment, and gaming sectors. All assets belonging to BLOC's exchange and enterprise divisions will be spun out into a separate company, to be run by BLOC's current management and operational team. Now you have two best of breed teams, one developing pioneering blockchain based exchange, supply chain and trade finance platforms and the other pioneering blockchain applications in the media, entertainment and gaming sectors, to the great benefit of all shareholders."
BLOC Chairman, Steve Nerayoff states, "In less than a year, we have managed to develop three companies that are positioned to disrupt blockchain from the perspectives of mining, exchanges, and innovation. By segmenting our competencies and resources so that we can incorporate the strengths of partners such as X2 Games, we believe that this is conducive to realizing revenue earlier and being more profitable in the long term."
