SHARE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT by and between RED FISH PROPERTIES, INC. and
Exhibit 7.1
by and between
and
DATA DISCOVERY, INC.
Dated May 4, 2018
This Share Exchange Agreement, with an effective date of May 4, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), is between Red Fish Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation based in Houston, Texas (“RedFish”), and Data Discovery, Inc., a Texas corporation based in Hallandale, Florida (“DataD”). RedFish and DataD wish to each exchange 10% of total ownership shares in their respective companies for 10% of the total ownership shares in the other’s company.
RECITALS
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) currently owns 98% of the total authorized and issued shares of corporate stock in RedFish.
There are no issued or outstanding preferred shares, warrants, or options.
Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxx”) owns 90% of the total authorized shares of corporate stock in DataD. There are no outstanding preferred shares, warrants, or options.
RedFish and Xxxxxxx wish to convey ownership of 10% of the total authorized and issued shares of corporate stock in RedFish (the “RedFish-Shares”) to DataD in exchange for receiving conveyance of ownership of 10% of the total authorized and issued shares of corporate stock in DataD (the “DataD-Shares”).
DataD and Xxxxxxx wish to convey ownership of the DataD-Shares in exchange for receiving conveyance of ownership of the RedFish-Shares.
RedFish wishes to assign to DataD the full and complete rights to appoint two board members, of DataD’s choosing, to full membership and service on the board of directors for RedFish.
RedFish wishes to make a payment to DataD in the amount of one hundred fifty thousand U.S. dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Initial Fund”). The Initial Fund is for DataD’s actions, enhancements and overhead to enforce and protect DataD’s intellectual property rights, proprietary information and technology rights, and other similar or related protectable interests (DataD’s “IP Interests”). These actions are against parties who have, or may, violate or otherwise unlawfully jeopardize DataD’s IP Interests.
RedFish wishes to license from DataD certain privileges associated with DataD’s IP Interests.
DataD develops and licenses technologies. These technologies are a part of DataD’s IP Interests. This includes the DataD “platform” for the implementation and marketing of various cryptocurrencies and crypto-tokens (the “DataD-Platform”). DataD licenses use of the DataD-Platform to onboard strategic capital raises exceeding $30-million. Under these licenses, DataD is typically entitled to payment of: (1) a license fee of $950,000.00; (2) marketing fees, sales fees, and sales costs; (3) 2% of all gross revenue from sales; and (4) perpetual transaction fees of 1.25% of each transaction occurring after the first sale of the related cryptocurrency, crypto-token, or other crypto-asset. Therefore, a $70 million transaction generates projected revenues for DataD of $5-million in the first year, and up to $4-million in “transaction fees” each subsequent year.
RedFish wishes to engage the services of DataD for implementation of a RedFish crypto-token. At no cost to RedFish, DataD will develop and complete the necessary cryptocurrency “White Paper” within eight weeks of RedFish’s full payment of the “Initial Fund” to DataD.
With these goals in mind, the parties agree as follows.
