AMPD Ventures Announces Restructuring and Corporate Changes for One of its Subsidiaries
March 15, 2023
Vancouver, British Columbia – AMPD Ventures Inc. (CSE: AMPD) (OTCQB: AMPDF) (FRA: 2Q0) (“AMPD” or the “Company”), a next-generation digital media tools and technologies provider, announces today that it is evaluating restructuring options for one of its subsidiaries, AMPD Technologies (Canada) Inc. as well as significantly reducing overall expenses across the entire organization.
AMPD intends to reduce or eliminate the monthly cash burn for the AMPD Technologies subsidiary by significantly reducing team size and operating expenses beginning this week, given current overall market conditions in the technology sector being exceptionally challenging. It is AMPD’s intention to maintain the operation of AMPD Technologies and its current clients by matching the resources and spend with the current revenues being generated. AMPD Technologies will continue to pursue opportunities to increase its revenue and grow organically without the need for cash investment.
AMPD Ventures’ other subsidiary, Departure Lounge Inc. has been making solid progress, with revenues increasing quarterly. Departure Lounge is expected to be cashflow break even or cashflow positive by summer 2023.
AMPD will focus on reducing its monthly cash burn and concentrate on developing Departure Lounge, which has been demonstrating strong growth potential.
Anthony Brown, CEO of AMPD Ventures Inc. commented “AMPD Ventures’ focus will be to build on the positive momentum at Departure Lounge, where we see solid revenue growth and the path to profitability. The recent nomination at the South by Southwest® (global film, tech, and music) festival has further validated their technology and highlighted their leadership position in the world of volumetric capture and virtual world development.”
The Company is also considering both board and management changes to better equip the Company to meet its objectives.
AMPD Ventures Inc is currently exploring various financing initiatives to complete the restructuring and position the Company to move forward towards profitability.
