As at the end of December 31, 2022, Metaverse Group had US$6.1M (CAD$8.2M) in total assets, including US$2.7M (CAD$3.6M) in cash and US$2.1M ($2.8M) in NFT assets.

In addition, as at April 17th, 2023, the value of tokens owned by Tokens.com is US$8.6M (CAD$11.5M), an increase of US$3.7M (CAD$5.0M) or 75.5% since December 31st, 2022, the Company’s last reporting date.

As consideration for the acquisition, Tokens.com will issue 24,380,000 common shares to the minority Metaverse Group shareholders. Each minority Metaverse Group shareholder will receive approximately 0.34 Tokens.com shares per Metaverse Group share. The Tokens.com shares to be issued as part of this transaction will be subject to contractual escrow provisions over a nine month period. This transaction has been approved by the board of directors of both entities and, pending approval of Metaverse Group Shareholders at a meeting scheduled to be held on April 26th, 2023, as well as approval by the NEO Exchange, is expected to close in May 2023.

The integration of the two entities will further enhance the synergies between the two entities, including Hulk Labs, the gaming unit of Tokens.com. The gamification capabilities of Hulk Labs will greatly enhance Metaverse Groups branded product offerings. Furthermore, the amalgamation is expected to bring additional synergies in areas such as corporate overhead, investor relations, public relations, and human resources.
