On May 14, 2019, we filed a Form 8-K disclosing that we intend to launch a global cannabis social network “KANAB.CLUB”. This filing incorporates a press release adding further disclosure to that filing.
Item 8.01 Other Events
We have engaged Markup Designs Pvt. Ltd. (“MDPL”; https://www.markupdesigns.com), a global Web and mobile application development company, to design and build a social network to be named “KANAB.CLUB” (www.kanab.club) targeting the global cannabis market. On May 13, 2019, we completed an initial payment to MDPL, mandating them to deploy a home page with launch information and sign-up capabilities for customers with an expected go-live date of May 24, 2019, and to complete a working Web platform within 60 days after the home page launch. After coding industry-standard social media functionality, we intend to add an online marketplace, 420 dating services, discussion forums, rewards programs/points including potential utility crypto coins, differentiated advertising and navigation capabilities (www.linkstorm.net), and Android/iOS mobile applications to the platform. We have obtained a right of first refusal and right of participation to invest in KANAB CORP. and anticipate an equity ownership in KANAB CORP. of 50% using Series B Preferred Stock as consideration. As with other 2050 Motors’ existing, announced and/or planned portfolio companies, we intend to incubate KANAB CORP. and plan to grant the entity a spin-out option to our shareholders in order to become its own public company when it achieves scale. A completion of any transaction between 2050 and KANAB CORP. is subject to further analysis and due diligence prior to execution of a Definitive Agreement and closing documents.

To this end, the Company has engaged Markup Designs Pvt. Ltd.

Said Vik Grover, CEO: “I believe we are at the dawn of a new era in social media, characterized by the maturation of mainstream networks like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and SNAP and the growing demand for specialized online destinations that suit the particular needs of Internet users. With the recent and ongoing legalization and decriminalization of cannabis sales – both THC and CBD products – especially in the U.S.A. and Canada, I believe the time is ideal to launch a global site catering to the substantial, growing population that uses and/or transacts business in the cannabis industry.”
Industry Statistic: Ever wonder how many people in the world consume cannabis? Well, if you’re one of them, then you’re in the company of 182 million, 999 thousand, 999 others. That’s approximately how many people enjoy marijuana worldwide according to a recent edition of the United Nations’ “World Drug Report”, which says the number could be as high as 238 million people worldwide (nearly double the population of Mexico). That makes cannabis the most widely used drug in the world.
