The Ledger Group Invests in Splyce Inc.

Announces Shift to Esports and Rebranding to OverActive Media Group

TORONTO, April 24, 2018 /CNW/ - The Ledger Group Inc. ("The Ledger Group" of the "Company") is pleased to announce that that it has closed the first tranche of a planned US$1,500,000 investment into Splyce Inc., a world class professional esports team with a global presence in eight games and one of the fastest growth rates in the industry.  This investment strategically complements The Ledger Group's existing investments in Askott Entertainment Inc., a leading esports gaming company, and Enthusiast Gaming Inc., a rapidly growing esports media company.

The Ledger Group was founded with a platform-based strategy of funding blockchain deployment and enablement with a focus on digital media and entertainment. With the addition of Splyce to the Company's portfolio, management has elected to concentrate on capturing value directly through the ownership of esports platforms.

With over $655 million spent by consumers on esports in 2017 and an anticipated $1.5B by 2022, esports is the fastest growing segment of the global sports market. As at the end of 2017, sponsorships, advertising and media rights and events exceeded $500 million annually, representing a year over year increase of 48%. Esports viewership is increasing and delivering the key demographic of millennial and post-millennial viewers, while in many cases traditional sports viewership is declining. To pursue this opportunity, The Ledger Group is implementing the following changes:

• The Ledger Group will be rebranding to OverActive Media Group to reflect its focus on the ownership of esports platforms;
  
  
• OverActive Media will seek opportunities to build, acquire or invest in esports franchises and related businesses; and
  
  
• Overactive Media will shift from an investment platform to an ownership platform as it develops and expands its esports platforms and properties.

"Our core thesis and enthusiasm for blockchain continues, however after extensive due diligence on the esports industry we are optimistic that it represents a significant opportunity for our shareholders," said Adam Adamou, Chief Executive Officer of The Ledger Group. "We continue to encourage our portfolio companies to deploy blockchain technologies where it makes sense, however it will no longer be a component of our investment criteria. We believe that technology is a means to an end, but that compelling ideas should be unshackled from the technologies that delivers them."

Continued Mr. Adamou, "Our initial investments in Enthusiast Gaming and Askott Entertainment, and now Splyce, firmly position us to capitalize on a portfolio of some of the industry's leading companies.  We are adjusting our focus to better provide Canadian investors broad ownership exposure to this exciting and growing opportunity."

The Company and OV2 Investment 1 Inc. ("OVO") (TSXV: OVO.P), a capital pool company formed under the policies of The Toronto Venture Exchange ("TSXV") previously announced in November 2017 a definitive agreement and planned non-arm's length amalgamation as the qualifying transaction of OVO.  The parties are currently evaluating available options for completing the qualifying transaction taking into account the Company's esports business focus.  Any such transaction would be subject to receipt of all required shareholder, regulatory and stock exchange consents and approvals.
