(NASDAQ:NCRA) ("Nocera" or the "Company"), a fully integrated sustainable seafood company focusing on manufacturing and operating land-based Recirculatory Aquaculture Systems (RAS), today announced that it has entered a purchase agreement to acquire a 51% controlling interest in iTake Inc., a Taiwan corporation located in Taipei City, Taiwan (R.O.C.), using Variable Interest Entity agreements (VIE).

The purchase price of iTtake's controlling interest is $200,000 plus 100,000 class A warrants. The purchase agreement was executed on September 26, 2022, and the acquisition is anticipated to close by November 15, 2022. iTake is an AIOT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) company that combines artificial intelligence (AI) computing and Internet Communication Technology. iTake currently has 21 locations in Taipei Metro Stations, and it is working with Taipei City Office and Taichung City office to commence a trial run to use their Smart Cabinets for directors interoffice document storage and delivery. A Smart Cabinet is an AIOT battery-powered locker that uses Wi-Fi and Bluetooth technology that provides users the ability to open and pick up deposited goods using their smartphones.
