IgniteAMT Limited Agreement
MOS is also pleased to announce the expansion of the contract between IgniteAMT Limited, a company in which director Mark Epstein has a 33% interest ("Ignite"), and Krunchdata Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Agreement"). This Agreement replaces the original contract signed in December 2018 between Ignite and Krunchdata Limited; MOS acquired 100% of Krunchdata Limited in March 2022.
The Agreement has been expanded after a full evaluation by the Board to ensure it provides fair and good value to the Company as it scales up. The Agreement covers the provision of office space, on a re-charged basis, as well as creative, technical and office support to the Company in operating its Streams data service and NFT platforms at on or below market rates, contains a 90 day notice period and is subject to 6 monthly review. In the year to 30 June 2023, Kruchdata Limited paid Ignite £172,000 of fees.
Accordingly, the Board, with the exception of Mark Epstein, having consulted with the Company's nominated adviser, Beaumont Cornish Limited, consider the terms of the Agreement to be fair and reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.
