Oramericas Corp announces completion of material agreements and other corporate matters

VANCOUVER, Jan. 29, 2016 /CNW/ - Oramericas Corp (NEX-TSXV Exchange: OA.H) (the "Company") is pleased to announce its continued restructuring efforts with a view to re-activating its business and its listing as a Tier II Technology Issuer on the TSX Venture Exchange. 

On January 25, 2016, the Company announced the retention of executives to its management team.  It has now approved the granting 500,000 stock options to these executives at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.  All stock option grants have been made in accordance with the Company's 10% rolling stock option plan.

The Company is also pleased to announce the completion of a Platform Software License and Managed Services Agreement with the Parlay group of companies (www.parlaygroup.com), which provides for the construction, license, customization and development of a social gaming platform.  The platform will be designed using Parlay's award winning backoffice systems as well as its gaming content.  It will service music industry artists and their fans and offer proprietary loyalty and gamification services, including competition, leaderboards and tournament elements, in exchange for fan membership fees and top-up purchases.  The system will offer turn-key white labeling opportunities to artists, allowing them to use gamification systems to monetize and enhance fan loyalty.  The Company will share revenue with its software provider and its artist customers. 

The arrangement also provides the Company with an option to purchase a fully-paid software license, which would give it perpetual software rights and source code access thereby capping the consideration payable for the technology platform and adding intellectual property ownership value to the business. 

The Company is also pleased to announce the launch of its website at www.backstageplay.com and the purchase of the URL www.backstageplay.com.

Copies of the agreements are available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

The Company intends to continue its restructuring efforts and will provide additional updates to shareholders as they become available.
