Toronto, Ontario, January 24, 2018 – GreenBank Capital Inc (CSE: GBC and OTCMKTS: GRNBF and FRA; 2TL) (“GreenBank or the Company”) announces that it has acquired 19% of Kabaddi Games Inc (“Kabaddi Games”), a Canadian company that owns all rights, title and interest to a mobile application game based on the Kabaddi sport. The sport of Kabaddi is the second most popular sport in India, after cricket, attracting 430 million television viewers during the 2014 inaugural televised season of the Pro Kabaddi League *.
The mobile app owned by Kabaddi Games is currently in early beta form, and will be completed over the next few months prior to a launch in the summer of 2018. GreenBank will provide corporate advice to Kabaddi Games and assist in its marketing and development program with the objective of seeking a public listing for Kabaddi Games in the future.
In addition to the original Netherlands based developer, Kabaddi Games investors that are investing alongside GreenBank include Daniel Wettreich the CEO of GreenBank, and other private investors. Kabaddi Games is the 11th company in the GreenBank small cap investment portfolio.
The sport of Kabaddi is a cross between freestyle wrestling and rugby that tests speed, agility and power. Two teams of seven players each take turns in sending an individual “raider” to tag an opponent. If the raider is wrestled down by a defender he is suspended temporarily until his team wins him back by tackling the opposition’s raider. The game is fast paced and the winner is declared in 40 minutes. Kabaddi is played in about 65 countries, however since 1990 India has won all the gold Kabaddi medals at the Asian Games and every edition of the Kabaddi World Cup.
