Exhibit 99.1
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Yappn executes
purchase agreement for patents and
ecommerce language services assets
Yappn buys assets
of Ortsbo Inc.
NEW
YORK, NY - July 16, 2015 - Yappn Corp. ("Yappn" or "Company") (OCTQB: YPPN)
a
leader in real-time language technology
and translation is pleased to announce that it has, with the approval of the Board of Directors of each company, entered into
a definitive agreement to acquire all of the intellectual property assets of Ortsbo Inc. ("
Ortsbo
"), a subsidiary
of Intertainment Media Inc. (TSXV: INT / OTC: ITMTF / FRA: I4T) ("
Intertainment
") as previously announced on
May 26, 2015.
The purchased assets
include US Patent No. 8,983,850 B2, US Patent No. 8,917,631 B2, US Patent No. 9,053,097 B2, and other intellectual property including
Ecommerce and Customer Care know-how for a total purchase price of US $17 Million, which will be paid by the assumption of US
$1 Million in debt and the issuance of US $16 Million worth of Yappn restricted common shares (320 Million shares at US $0.05
per share). The transaction is subject to closing conditions including each party obtaining all necessary approvals, including
stock exchange approval and shareholder approval, if required.
In anticipation
of these transactions, on June 11, 2015, Yappn announced that its Windrose Global Ecommerce Platform ("
Windrose
"
or "
WGE
") is now available at Shopify's® app store. Yappn's WGE application for Shopify®
is a Microsoft Azure® cloud recurring fee based software-as-a-service (SaaS) deliverable that is a combination of a native
Shopify® application (app) and a cloud-based real-time service and portal enabling E-tailers to expand their reach into up
to 67 different languages simply and easily through an automated app install without any development or computer programming experience
required on the user's part. The Windrose app allows online stores to be viewed in multiple languages without the creation
of additional Shopify® storefronts, making marketing, sales and support seamless and easy to both the customer and vendor.
Yappn
also announces that it has completed a secured debt financing of US $4.5 Million of secured debentures and expects to close a
further US $1 Million
prior to the completion of the purchase of the Ortsbo assets
. This financing is
supported by Yappn's secured line of credit holders and, as previously
announced, Yappn executed a non-binding letter of intent with Winterberry Investments Inc. ("Winterberry"),
a private company led by Mr. David Berry, pursuant to which Winterberry will facilitate and manage the financing transaction as
well as to advise on Yappn's future capital programs. This
additional capital will be primarily used by Yappn to roll out its global Ecommerce expansion programs, and enable online Ecommerce
technology companies, online vendors and development partners to enable real-time language programs to service a growing global
audience.
"Execution
of this agreement provides Yappn with ownership of key assets to move its business forward and continue to accelerate revenue
programs and opportunities", said
David Lucatch, Founder and CEO of Yappn Corp.
"Throughout our development
our key stakeholders, including our line of credit holders, have been very supportive and we believe that the agreement to engage
with David Berry to lead our capital markets programs enhances opportunities and potential future value of Yappn".
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Company continues
to expand its efforts with Ecommerce and communications as it has been testing a number of solutions to enable single language
online storefronts to effectively market, sell and support E-tailing efforts, including the shopping cart, in multiple languages
and is expecting a near term delivery of its framework for commercial revenue programs.
