LAS VEGAS, Dec. 23, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HeadsUp Entertainment International Inc. (Pinksheets:HDUP) announces that on December 21, 2016, it executed a rescission agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) with Fanlogic LLC, a daily fantasy, social gaming and eSports company (“Fanlogic”). HDUP previously announced that it had entered into an Asset Contribution Agreement with Fanlogic to acquire the assets and associated technology of Fanlogic, which owns and operates proprietary software to launch social fantasy sports and social casino games. HeadsUp had also previously issued to Fanlogic 60,000,000 restricted shares of common stock at a price of $0.06 per share as consideration for valuation of the Fanlogic technology and assets of $3,600,000.

The Board of Directors of HDUP and Fanlogic determined that it was not in the best interests of either HDUP or Fanlogic or their respective shareholders to proceed with the planned acquisition of the Fanlogic assets and technology considering that certain conditions in the Asset Contribution Agreement were not met and neither party could meet the objectives of the other based on current financing status and business plan requirements.

Therefore, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Rescission Agreement, the Asset Contribution Agreement was rescinded. Fanlogic has agreed to return to HDUP the 60,000,000 shares of restricted common stock. HDUP shall return to treasury the 60,000,000 shares of common stock.

Management of HDUP is currently working towards expansion and leveraging of its existing assets into new markets within the core entertainment, media and gaming sectors.
