The Prospectus is filed in accordance with the provisions of the National Instrument 41-101 - General Prospectus Requirements to qualify the distribution of the Company's common shares (the " Common Shares ") issuable upon the exercise or deemed exercise of the issued and outstanding special warrants of the Company, in Canada . No securities are being sold pursuant to the Prospectus and no proceeds are being raised concurrent with the filing.
The Prospectus is being filed in connection with the proposed acquisition (the " Acquisition ") by the Company of GoGallop Studios Pty Ltd.

A copy of the Prospectus is available under the Company's SEDAR profile .
For the past few months, GoGallop has been working closely with UpCapital Investment Corp . on a strategic go-public plan. From this collaboration, the Company was then purpose-built to allow GoGallop's continued operations with a high degree of focus on its business while the Company engages in bringing pre-public and post-public capital market support.
Upon the issuance of a receipt for the filing of the Prospectus, the Company intends to apply to list the common shares of the Resulting Issuer on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the " CSE " or the " Exchange ").
The closing of the Acquisition and the listing is subject to a number of conditions precedent, including (i) completion of due diligence; (ii) the receipt of all requisite regulatory, stock exchange, or governmental authorizations, approvals and consents, including review and approval of the Commissions and the Exchange; and (iii) such other conditions and obligations that are customary for a transaction of this nature.
