Weyland Tech Inc. Announces Updates Coinciding With Investor Conference Call


New York, March 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Weyland Tech Inc. (WEYL) (“Weyland” or the “Company”) announces updates coinciding with an investor conference call held on March 7, 2019 at 12 noon EST.

In addition to updates on the Company’s core PaaS business and its eWallet, AtozPay, the following major initiatives and objectives are underway and in various stages:

  • Expression of Interest for acquisition of the AtozPay business by a large regional tech company
  • Update on outstanding litigation in Singapore and US Federal court in Nevada
  • Potential for merger and expansion into new emerging market
  • Qualification for NASDAQ and re-engagement of application

  • Potential for acquisition of the AtozPay business by a large regional tech company

As announced on September 6, 2018, there has been an increase in private fundings, IPOs and merger and acquisition activity leading to the emergence of large ‘unicorn’ companies competing for marketshare in SE Asia.  In February, the Company received an expression of interest in the acquisition of its eWallet business from a regional leader in ride-sharing and delivery. Comparable valuation metrics make this a source of encouragement as we follow through on our mandate at Weyland to build, grow, and sell the businesses that we launch in emerging markets.

Our team in Indonesia continues to build the platform making it attractive to potential acquirers and the landscape continues to improve for a sale.

  • Potential for merger and expansion into new emerging market

Management has identified and begun an initiative for entry into our second emerging market in SE Asia. During this process the possibility of a merger with a larger group possessing country licensing and infrastructure needed for rapid expansion has been raised. There have been numerous meetings, calls and terms proposed and should there be a firm agreement, we will pursue it with our Board of Directors and subsequently inform shareholders.

  • Update on outstanding litigation in Singapore and US Federal court in Nevada

Regarding the current litigation in Singapore and in the US Federal Court in Nevada, over the past two months there has been substantial progress and we remain optimistic that a settlement favorable to shareholders is imminent. 

  • Qualification for NASDAQ and re-engagement of application

The management team has moved forward re-opening our NASDAQ application and, based upon meetings and discussions with NASDAQ, the Company currently qualifies under most of the criteria for a NASDAQ listing. As we progress, we will inform shareholders.
