Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - January 24, 2022) - Graph Blockchain Inc. (CSE: GBLC) (OTC Pink: REGRF) (FSE: RT5A) ("Graph") or (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company, has entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the "Agreement") in connection with the Acquisition (the "Acquisition") of Niftable Inc. ("Niftable" or the "Target").

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Graph will acquire 100% of all issued and outstanding shares of Niftable, an arm's length privately held company, established pursuant to the Business Corporations Act in Alberta.

About Niftable Inc.

Niftable's core business is to connect charities and their artists to the NFT (non-fungible token) world. Niftable provides the expertise and execution of NFTs from creation of the NFT to the sale and post-sale of NFTs on behalf of their charity clients. Most charities rely on volunteers and lack expertise in the emerging NFT world and that is where Niftable fills that void.

Michael Yeung, Founder and President of Niftable, said, "This is an amazing partnership, as Graph provides expertise and resources, and Niftable provides a growth strategy with its focus on charities and the growing NFT world. There are over 170,000 charitable and nonprofit organizations in Canada. 85,000 of these are registered charities. The marketplace for growing this business represents a massive opportunity for Graph and its shareholders. We look forward to a very productive year as part of the Graph team."

Paul Haber, CEO of Graph Blockchain, said, "We are very excited to enter this new area of NFTs. Charities have been hard hit by COVID and we believe the NFT space creates a great opportunity for charities to raise funds from not only their established donor base but to expand their reach into a whole new demographic, as NFT artists have not been shy about their backing for charitable causes or key social issues."
