TAKE-OVER UNDER RULE 14, THIS SHOULD BE STATED:
Blockchain Worldwide PLC ("BLOC" or the "Company") is a cash
shell quoted on the Standard Segment of the Official List and
currently has its shares suspended from trading. It has agreed
to acquire each of GTChannel, Inc. ("GTC"), Tagasauris, Inc.
("Tag") and Entertainment AI, Inc. ("EAI"). The Company will
be renamed Entertainment AI plc and will be admitted to trading
on the London Stock Exchange AIM together with its new, wholly
owned subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, the Company will
be a technology and media group, headquartered in Los Angeles,
California, with its registered office in the UK.
Entertainment AI Plc's mission is to be a first mover in a
video-first world or what is seen to be the coming Third Wave
of TV following the broadcast and cable eras. The Third Wave
is marked by full mobility and interactivity with content available
24/7 on mobile devices.
GTC both creates its own video content, focused on automotive
interests, and owns a Multi-Channel Network ("MCN") with approximately
10,000 content creator partners based in the US, Russia, Japan
and Latin America catering to a global audience of automotive
and associated lifestyle enthusiasts. In 2018, across the MCN,
8.5 billion videos were viewed and in 1H 2019 that figure was
over 6.3 billion.
Tag is an AI and machine-learning technology company that has
historically served its technology to large media companies.
Tag has a proprietary process for enriching videos and then
serving video-based opportunities to audiences, such as GTC's,
while they are watching videos. Tag's intellectual property
(patent with an early priority date, trade secrets and know-how)
enriches raw video in a process conceptualized as a "Micro-moments
Factory".
EAI has both data analytic technology and material contracts
with strategic partners. Together these assets should enable
GTChannel, Tagasauris and Entertainment AI synergistically
to unlock value for the creators and consumers.
The Company will combine these businesses, creating an operating
platform offering a "One Stop Shop" for a global, enthusiast
automotive and lifestyle audience as a provider of direct-to-consumer
content and e-commerce opportunities, driving advertising,
e-commerce and subscription revenues. In addition, the Company
seeks to license its technology to third parties.
