PUF Ventures Provides Update to Plan of Arrangement with Weed Points Loyalty Inc.

VANCOUVER, Sept. 29, 2017 /CNW/ - PUF Ventures Inc. ("PUF" or the "Company") (CSE: PUF) (Frankfurt: PU3) (OTCPK: PUFXF), is pleased to provide an update on the previously announced plan of arrangement (the "Arrangement") with Weed Points Loyalty Inc. ("Spinco" or "Weed Points"), formerly known as Vapetronix Holdings Inc. PUF shareholders of record on October 4, 2017 (the "Record Date") will be entitled to receive one (1) Spinco Share for every seven (7) common shares of PUF held. PUF shareholders of record as at the Record Date will also be eligible to vote on a special resolution approving the Arrangement, at an annual general and special meeting to be held on Friday, November 24, 2017. Details of the Arrangement will be provided in a Management Information Circular that will be mailed to all eligible PUF shareholders.  

Weed Points proposes to create the first loyalty program that targets the emerging cannabis market. It has established weedpoints.com as its beachhead domain name where a proprietary platform will allow producers, patients, and consumers to interact creating an awareness and loyalty hub for the cannabis marketplace. It is also closing in on several other domain assets for other brands being created under the Weed Points loyalty umbrella.

"Working hand in hand with PUF Ventures and their expanding global network, Weed Points Loyalty is positioned to accelerate the digital transformation of cannabis loyalty through our data driven practice and technical bench strength of expertise," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer of Weed points Loyalty Inc and techonesixty. "Our continued growth will be focused with holistic approaches not only with local governing bodies, but with expanding markets abroad."

The WeedBeacon marijuana tracking prototype schematics and associated technologies are being updated to be integrated within the Weed Points platform. Other cannabis loyalty brand business drivers such as data mining and life sciences technologies are also under development.

Weed Points has entered a lease agreement for office space in Toronto, reflective of the tech culture the company is creating, with a tentative occupancy date within 30 days. A corporate communications manager and programming/project manager have been hired, and management is in discussions to hire additional staff from the life sciences, pharma and tech sectors to complement the current team.

By establishing a loyalty and technological presence between producers and consumers, Weed Points will become the loyalty program of choice that provides accurate and up-to-date information on an array of cannabis products. Consumer reviews of specific strains, availability of product, and real-time delivery tracking will be some of the information included within loyalty platform as it evolves to suit the needs of the marketplace.

"As we position Weed Points Loyalty in strategic sectors within the global cannabis market, our organic synergies of behavioral sciences and customer relation initiatives poise our clients for sustainable growth in an ever changing cannabis landscape," added Steve Loutskou, Chief Strategy Officer of Weed Points Loyalty Inc. and techonesixty.
