In addition, Digatrade has the option to participate in all Securter's future financings including the current offering priced at CAD$0.07 per share.

The Spinout includes an exclusive five-year Licensing Agreement ("License") whereby Digatrade has acquired the sales and marketing rights to South America ("Territory"). Securter has the option to Buy-Out ("Buy-Out") the License by paying Digatrade ("License Holder") three (3) times the Regions Net Profit in accordance with IFRS accounting standards.
