Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2019) - LOOPShare Ltd. (TSXV: LOOP) (OTC Pink: LPPPF), world's first fully-integrated electric scooter sharing platform, has completed the acquisition of the 'Scoot-E®' brand from Raytroniks Corporation which it announced in January.

In conjunction with the acquisition, Ray J, a successful tech-entrepreneur, TV personality, musician and principal of Raytroniks, has entered into a consulting agreement with LOOPShare to become a key member of the LOOPShare team.

"The acquisition of the Scoot-E brand and partnership with Ray J represents a significant milestone for LOOPShare in terms of building shareholder value and elevating our industry presence," noted LOOPShare president and CEO, Anwar Sukkarie. "We have been working closely with Ray J since the transaction was announced, and there are a number of exciting initiatives that we plan to launch soon that will further LOOPShare as a pioneer in rideshare micro-mobility."

According to Ray J: "Raytroniks introduced Scoot-E as a new wave of electronic transportation, providing an eco-friendly, efficient and convenient mode of transportation that could be customized with the unique designs and features of the Scoot-E brand. I've partnered with the LOOPShare team since this vision directly aligns with their core electronic scooter ridesharing business model which has global reach. The Scoot-E platform and the LOOPShare platform together create a powerful combination that will give LOOPShare access to all sectors of the micro-mobility market."

High profile celebrities like Sean "Diddy" Combs, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Brandy Norwood, and Snoop Dogg have all been seen riding and enjoying their Scoot-E-Bikes®. LOOPShare's new venture with Ray J follows the formation of his $31 million-dollar partnership with Cowboy Wholesale to form Raycon Global, a successful consumer electronics brand.
