HONG KONG, Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Sharing Economy International Inc. ("SEII" or "the Company") (NASDAQ: SEII) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sharing Economy Investment Limited ("SEII"), has entered into a License Agreement with Ecrent Capital Holdings Limited ("ECRENT"), regarding the grant of an exclusive and sublicensable license from ECRENT to SEII to utilize certain software and trademarks in order to develop, launch, operate, commercialize, and maintain an online website platform in United Kingdom, Germany, France, Poland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Denmark, Russia, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Greece. In return, SEII shall issue to ECRENT 360,000 shares of restricted common stock. ECRENT will guarantee that the operation of its related websites, mobile applications and business services will contribute revenue of US$20,000,000 and gross profit of US$3,880,000 from the closing date of the License Agreement through December 31, 2019.
"This agreement is an extension of our licensing with ECRENT in Asia, where we are seeing good progress and large market opportunities to come," said Parkson Yip, Vice President of SEII. "Under our current licensing agreement with ECRENT covering the Asian region, we have begun local business development activities and early indications are promising. Therefore, we have decided to move forward with this agreement to cover the European market as well. The new agreement provides SEII with another potential income opportunity in the coming year, as well as an expansion of our market reach into Europe. The sharing economy has been well accepted in European communities, so we believe a sharing classified advertising platform like ECRENT can open up more channels for sharing opportunities among consumers and can be adapted in the region quickly. We are seeking local business partners to launch the local ECRENT operations who may also assist us with the localized deployment of other SEII affiliated solutions as well, such as BuddiGo and Anyworkspace."
