Toronto, Ontario, November 4, 2024 - Hank Payments Corp. (“ Hank ” or the “ Company ”) (TSXV: HANK), an emerging North American leader in the Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) market with a platform that modernizes budgets and payments for enterprises and consumers wishes to respond to the press release that was issued by Melrose Ventures (the “Melrose Group”) on November 4, 2024. The Company believes that the take-over offer is without merit and the claims made by the Melrose Group in the press release are baseless and defamatory. The Melrose Group are not the business founders of Hank. Hank does not owe any debts to the Melrose Group, as is evidenced in the Company’s financial statements. There have been no insider reports, early warning reports or press releases filed regarding the Melrose Group’s claim of an ownership position exceeding 10% of the Company. These are regulatory requirements, and their statement of a greater than 10% ownership of Hank is in violation of the regulations given no filings have been completed. The Melrose Group have been informed of these requirements by the Company in the past and they have not provided any proof of ownership of shares of Hank. The Group states that their intention is to purchase a minimum of 8.5 mm shares of the Company to “bring our stake above 51%” does not make any sense based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company being 132,720,376 as of November 1, 2024. On Saturday, November 2, 2024, the Melrose Group sent an email to the Company of its intention to submit a takeover bid and then on November 3rd they sent another email threatening to issue a news release. There was no formal take-over offer provided to the Company on November 2nd. The Melrose Group attempted to extract non-public information regarding the Company and its ongoing transaction announced in September 2024. To be clear, no formal takeover bid has been provided by Melrose Group and they have not adhered to any of the rules and regulations required in order to make a proper takeover bid to Hank’s shareholders. The Company will only respond to a bona fide takeover bid that is in accordance with the rules and regulations that govern such a transaction. This is not that and the Company will not respond further to baseless press releases provided by the Melrose Group.  The Company is continuing with the acquisition announced in August, has grown revenues meaningfully and has early interest from customers in using the technology being acquired and the Company believes that in time the transaction will create meaningful value.
