Loop Insights Inc. (MTRX:TSXV) (RACMF:OTCQB) (the "Company" or
"Loop"), a provider of contactless solutions and artificial
intelligence (“AI”) to drive real-time insights and enhanced
customer engagement to the brick and mortar space, is pleased to
announce the signing of a definitive agreement to acquire
Mediahelden GmbH, d/b/a Passcreator (“Passcreator”) (the
“Transaction”). Based in Munich, Germany, Passcreator is a leading
European digital wallet and mobile marketing company with Tier-1
clients such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
$2,000,000 Acquisition of Passcreator to
Provide Loop with Complete Control Over Its Wallet Pass Technology
in Anticipation of Upcoming Major Business
Developments
The Passcreator mobile wallet pass is built on
Android and iOS Wallet pass technology. By acquiring Passcreator,
Loop will vertically integrate its Wallet pass capabilities, as
well as, gain access to Passcreator’s clients such as BMW and
Mercedes Benz.
With this acquisition, Loop is taking its
technology stack to the next level by both incorporating the
Passcreator team and taking full control of its Wallet pass
technology in anticipation of Loop’s next stage of significantly
larger business developments. Specifically, significant interest
garnered in the US, UK and European markets dictates that Loop
secures and directly manages the further development of
Passcreator’s Wallet Pass platform, which is able to deploy rapidly
and at scale in up to 40 languages.
Loop Insights CEO, Rob Anson
stated “In our December 2020 review I stated that Loop was very
confident that significant developments would take place in 2021
that would see Loop grow by several magnitudes over 2020. With the
first quarter of 2021 now complete, with some major pilot tests
announced and a major pipeline shaping up, we have good reason to
believe in the potential for significant developments in the UK,
Europe, and globally. As such, our Passcreator acquisition is
perfect in terms of both timing and fit with Loop’s technology to
close on upcoming major developments. Moreover, I expect
Passcreator itself to contribute significant revenue to Loop in
2021 and well beyond.”
Passcreator CEO, Mario C.G. Juhnke
stated “We believe that the merging of two very proven technology
companies will greatly accelerate further development and
synergistic growth. Furthermore, the bridging of the markets of
both Loop and Passcreator will serve to improve market resiliency
and bolster confidence in the future.”

In consideration for the acquisition of
Passcreator, Loop will pay US$2,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”)
