Werd Studios brings a portfolio focused on blockchain/crypto gaming, featuring titles like Cafe Disco Party, Moon Gaming (powered by Moon Poker), and Amino Rewards. Investors should note the issued shares come with a staggered lock-up: 25% become tradeable after six months, another 25% after twelve months, and the remaining 50% after eighteen months.
The acquisition significantly boosts Andrew Shore’s position within Boba, doubling his ownership from 6.52% to a notable 13.04%, holding 13 million shares in total. This move signals Boba Mint’s aggressive push into the burgeoning blockchain gaming sector.
Negative
- Share dilution is a significant concern with 7 million new shares hitting the market.
- Lengthy lock-up period (up to 18 months) on a substantial portion of shares raises liquidity questions.
- Shore’s increased ownership concentrating 13.04% of shares in a single holder requires monitoring.

The debut creation, Moon Poker, redefines the entertainment landscape by offering a thrilling mobile video game that not only immerses players in a cosmic world, but also presents real cash prizes in hyper-turbo tournaments. Amino Rewards is a health and fitness focused platform that leverages blockchain to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The purchase price for the remaining 50% equity interest in Werd Studios from Mr. Shore is $1,400,000, which has been satisfied by the issuance of 7,000,000 common shares of Boba on a private placement basis (the “Consideration Shares”), at an issue price of $0.20 per share (the “Transaction”). The 7,000,000 Consideration Shares issued to Mr. Shore are subject to a contractual restricted period whereby (i) 25% of the Consideration Shares will become freely tradeable on the date which is 6 months following closing, (ii) an additional 25% of the Consideration Shares will become freely tradeable on the date which is 12 months following closing, and (iii) the remaining 50% of the Consideration Shares will become freely tradeable on the date which is 18 months following closing.
“We are very pleased to have completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in Werd Studios. The Boba Mint team is excited to continue supporting Andrew and the Werd Studios team now that Werd Studios is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Boba Mint,” said Rody Lazar, CEO of Boba.
Certain arm’s length advisors to Boba received an aggregate of 700,000 common shares, at an issue price of $0.20 per share, as advisory fees in connection with the closing of the Transaction. The foregoing shares are subject to resale restrictions of four months and one day, as contemplated by applicable securities laws and the policies of the CSE.
