Perk Inc. (TSX:PER) (“Perk” or the “Company”), announced today that the Company has bought out the remaining EBITDA based earn-out obligations owing by Perk.com Canada Inc. (“Perk Canada”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, to Orion Foundry (Canada) Inc. (“Orion”) pursuant to the asset purchase agreement entered into between Perk Canada and Orion on April 13, 2015 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) at 53% of the face value of such obligations.

Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, Perk Canada acquired certain assets (the “Purchased Assets”) and assumed specific liabilities of Orion that included websites, mobile apps, certain employees, and technology such as an online advertising customer acquisition platform, and capital assets. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, Perk Canada was required to pay Orion a percentage of the EBITDA generated from the Purchased Assets until April 2018. In addition, Perk Canada issued an undertaking, which provided that should Orion receive less than a certain dollar value of tax credits, Perk Canada shall make an additional payment to Orion. At the time of the acquisition, Perk Canada measured these liabilities at fair value and accounted for the estimated payments as a provision for contingent consideration. Such liabilities represented approximately 22% of the Company’s total liabilities as at June 30, 2016.

The Company determined that it was in its best interest to utilize its strong cash and working capital position to buy out these liabilities at 53% of the face value of such liabilities based on their estimated fair value as at June 30, 2016.

Ted Hastings, Chief Executive Officer of Perk commented, “We were pleased that Orion accepted our offer to pay off the remaining balance due from the acquisition. As a result of this buyout, we are able to eliminate the contingent obligations from our balance sheet. Maintaining a strong capital position is important to the Company and this is another significant step forward, as this buyout will free up capital over the long term while retaining 100% of EBITDA we expect to generate. We are working to reinvest in our business and accelerate the worldwide adoption of Perk’s leading mobile rewards platform.”
