Hall Train Entertainment Inc. ('HTRN') Announces Plans To Acquire "Themed Technological Innovations Corporation"
Toronto, Ontario--Sept. 15, 1999 Hall Train Entertainment Inc. (HTRN) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an "arm's length" agreement for the acquisition of Themed Technological Innovations Corporation (TTI), a development stage company specializing in the design and development of Location Based Entertainment (LBE) Centres. The agreement outlines the proposed purchase of TTI by way of a formal take-over with TTI becoming a subsidiary of HTRN.
TTI will provide their expertise in the development and operation of LBE Centres and other attraction-related industries including travelling exhibits. To date HTRN has been a contractor for such shows as, "Jurassic Park:The Lost World" plus earlier dinosaur exhibits, and is now making the transition to that of an exhibitor. This will significantly increase HTRN's scope. In keeping with this change, HTRN is in the process of planning the "The Nunavut Travelling Exhibit" for a scheduled launch next year.
Matt Bossio, President & CEO, stated that this acquisition represents a new dimension for HTRN, and will be further developed along with plans to expand their interest within the LBE and Attraction Industries, through acquisitions, mergers and joint-ventured partnerships.
TTI intends to develop "state-of-the-art" Location Based Entertainment Centres designed to appeal to a wide range of demographic and consumer spending groups, through the utilization of proprietary technologies, designs and developed bands. Each LBE Centre can generate substantial revenues, depending on the size, location and complexity of each site.
TTI plans to open its first two LBE Centres in Toronto, one of which will be located in the downtown core. As each location is established TTI anticipates making further announcements.
The completion of this Agreement is subject to Regulatory approval.
Hall Train Entertainment Inc. is an award winning entertainment and communications company that develops and produces a diverse line of products including design, concept development, live and dimensional animation, fabrication, special effects, interactive media and film production.
