TMT INVESTMENTS PLC
("TMT" or the "Company")
Investment in Whale Path, Inc.
TMT Investments PLC, which invests in high-growth,
internet-based companies across a variety of sectors, is pleased to
announce the completion of an investment in Whale Path,
Inc.(www.whalepath.com).
Incorporated in Delaware and headquartered in Sunnyvale,
California, Whale Path, Inc. ("Whale Path") offers an on-demand
business research platform for companies. Whale Path says it
typically delivers fully customized reports to its clients three
times faster and at half the price compared to traditional business
research vendors. Whale Path streamlines the entire research
process, which allows its clients to receive fully tailored reports
within two weeks.
According to the American Marketing Association, in 2013 over
US$24 billion was spent on research by over 3.8 million corporate
executives in the USA. At the same time, Whale Path believes
business research today is incredibly expensive, poorly customized,
and produced too slowly.
TMT's investment consists of a US$200,000 unsecured convertible
promissory note in Whale Path ("Note") on the following terms:
-- Interest rate - 5% per annum.
-- Term - unless previously converted, the Note will be
repayable in whole or in part at par at the option of investors
holding a majority of the Note on any date after the second
anniversary of the Note.
-- Conversion -
o Automatic conversion: Any outstanding principal and unpaid
accrued interest on the Note will be automatically converted into
Whale Path's equity securities upon closing of the next equity
financing at an equity valuation equal to the lower of (a) 80% of
the equity valuation of Whale Path applicable to the next equity
financing or (b) US$5,000,000 for the whole of Whale Path's fully
diluted common stock.
o Optional conversion: if requested by investors within 5 days
prior to the Note's maturity date, any outstanding principal and
unpaid accrued interest on the Note may be converted at the option
of investors holding a majority of the Notes at an equity valuation
equal to US$3,000,000 for the whole of Whale Path's fully diluted
common stock.
Whale Path was co-founded by Artem Gassan and Colin Gu in 2012.
Prior to Whale Path, Artem founded Viestly and World Market Media,
as well as served as interim COO of iBuildApp. Colin previously
worked at VMware and SAP and has strong user-experience design and
development skills.
Definitive agreements for the transaction were entered into, and
the transaction was completed, yesterday.
