Carl Data Signs Data Hosting LOI with Link Global

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 15, 2019) - Carl Data Solutions Inc. (CSE: CRL) (FSE: 7C5) (OTCQB: CDTAF) ("Carl Data" or the "Company"), is pleased to announce they have signed a non-binding LOI with Link Global Technologies Inc. ("Link") for colocation data hosting services in Trail, BC at Carl Data's wholly owned subsidiary, Astra Smart Systems Corp. ("Astra"). This strategic partnership will allow both companies to grow in technological knowledge and revenue potential.

"Working with Link at this time is a great fit for our Astra facility. It will help bring our data hosting center to capacity, while opening up some additional revenue producing opportunities," said Greg Johnston, Carl Data CEO and President.

Link's blockchain based mining infrastructure supply chain is being developed with existing experts to provide superior crypto currency mining infrastructures. Their extensive knowledge and experience helps clients understand how best to implement blockchain technologies.

Carl Data proposes that Astra enter into a colocation agreement ("Colocation Agreement") with Link that grants a license of space in the Trail, BC premises to Link for the set-up and operation of its Equipment for the purpose of mining the Bitcoin blockchain currency.

Carl Data understands that currently and from time to time, based on the market price of Bitcoin and the funds received in the day-to-day sale of Bitcoin after applicable transaction fees, the economics of mining Bitcoin are not favourable, but may become favourable in the future as it has been in past periods. For this reason, Carl Data is offering an incentive to Link to undertake the set-up and commencement of operations at the Trail, BC facility. It is also the aim of Carl Data to begin forming a strategic partnership with Link with the potential of participating in future projects together. For these reasons, Carl Data is offering to issue common shares of Carl Data (the "Shares") to Link in the quantity which, when multiplied by the current market price for the Shares, equals the shortfall in revenue, if any, with respect to costs that Link has paid to Astra (the "Shortfall") pursuant to the Colocation Agreement. These Shares will be issuable from time to time at the request of Link.
