Loton, Corp. Announces Mint Group Has Resigned from its Services Contract with Loton and KOKO's Holding Company

LOS ANGELES, May 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Loton, Corp. (OTC: LIVX) ("Loton"), a company operating in the emerging live/digital music space, today announced that Mint Group Holdings, Ltd. has resigned from its management services contract with Obar Camden Holdings Limited ("OCHL"), a 50%-owned operating subsidiary of Loton and the parent of the Obar Camden Limited ("KOKO London"), which operates the nightclub and live music venue "KOKO" in Camden, London.

In connection with such resignation, Loton has demanded the resignation of Oliver Bengough (a significant shareholder of Mint Group) from the board of OCHL due to performance and management concerns and has initiated an investigation into potential conflicts of interest related to Mint Group. Loton is demanding all remaining debt due in default as well as complete control of OCHL to ensure a smooth transition to the Company.

"After much deliberation and attempts to reach an amicable resolution and based on potential conflicts of interest, disappointing recent financial results, and defaults on debt, we feel compelled to take over full financial control of KOKO London. We are confident that Loton's world class management team with experience in music, media and mobile can quickly stabilize the company's operations and build substantial value for our shareholders," said Robert Ellin, Loton's Executive Chairman and President. "We will explore all options including expanding KOKO's brand to venues around the world, and initiating strategic partnerships with other venue owners, record labels, and live event companies. As part of our team taking control of KOKO London, we expect to shortly finally launch our in-venue digital strategy adding to our growing list of world class partners streaming around the world."
