Avatar Ventures and Fantrax.com Agree on Formal Terms for Proposed
Acquisition
CARSON CITY, NV--(Marketwired - Mar 31, 2014) - Avatar Ventures
Corp. (OTC Pink: ATAR) (PINKSHEETS: ATAR) ("Avatar" "ATAR" or "the
Company") is pleased to announce that it and Fantrax.com have
agreed to Definitive terms of the Proposed Acquisition.
The principles of both companies have mutually agreed that due
to unforeseen delays in the auditing process, the company wishes to
advise its shareholders that as set out in the Press release dated
February 11, 2014, the Company has retained a new auditing firm.
Avatar relinquished its previous auditor of its duties because of
technicalities which has delayed filings. Mr. Minnema, President of
Avatar, states that due to the unforeseen delays and the fact that
the tax season is upon us, the company is extremely confident that
with the present auditing firm under contract will complete the
company's filings and in turn Avatar will file shortly
thereafter.
Both Avatar and Fantrax have, in the meantime, come to a mutual
agreement on the terms of the proposed acquisition, including a
Share Exchange Agreement. The Share Exchange Agreement is expected
to be formally signed and made public at the time the company's
filings are brought up to date. The terms include, among other
things, the issuance of new shares of Avatar, cancellation of
certain control block shares, financing as well as other terms and
conditions typical for a transaction of this nature. As a result of
Avatar's current beneficial share structure, there will be no
requirement for a reverse split or consolidation of Avatar's share
capital.
Both Mr. Minnema, President of Avatar, and Lee Kleiner,
President of Fantrax, are extremely appreciative of the patience of
current shareholders and the ongoing efforts of our auditing
firm.
Edward Minnema, Avatar's CEO commented:
"We are thrilled to announce that the companies have agreed to
the major terms of the share Exchange. Not only are we bringing
value to current shareholders of Avatar as a result of bringing
Fantrax.com to the company, we will be doing it in a way that we
believe will protect current shareholders. Most significant
acquisitions of this nature require a substantial reverse split of
common shares to facilitate the transaction. As contemplated in the
proposed Share Exchange Agreement there will not be the need for
same.
"We believe Fantrax.com is the best fantasy sports platform by a
long shot, with its user friendly interface and plethora of
features far beyond what any competitor offers. After the
acquisition the company will be in a position to leverage its
position to offer significant growth and opportunity."
Lee Kleiner said:
"We are very pleased that Avatar and Fantrax have come to this
agreement. We are confident that this transaction is in the best
interests of the current Fantrax shareholders which once complete
will permit Fantrax to expand exponentially. Fantrax has a
fantastic management team and outstanding technology, enabling
significant global growth. I have been personally involved in
building the company from the ground up and have confidence that
Fantrax will continue to be the premier destination for the fantasy
sports enthusiast and will become the global leader in fantasy
sports."

According to a Forbes August 20, 2013 article citing statistics
from The Fantasy Sports Trade Association, they estimate that 32
million Americans spend $467 per person or about $15 billion (USD)
in total playing fantasy sports.
Roughly, $11 billion (USD) flows toward football alone. These
figures don't count ad revenue for fantasy hosting sites. The NFL's
annual revenue falls just under $10 billion currently. So the
"derivative" market has grown larger than the foundational
market.
