ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
ACTIVITIES REPORT FOR THE QUARTER ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
Highlights
-
Ookami to acquire strategic stake in blockchain company, ‘Brontech’; acquisition approved by shareholders and Ms Emma Poposka appointed as Director post quarter end
-
Akela Platform continued to generate revenue and secure quality offerings for its retail and sophisticated (s708) investors
Ookami Limited (ASX: OOK) provides the following update on the Company’s activities during the quarter ended 31 December 2017.
Strategic Stake in Brontech Pty Ltd
The Company announced on 11 December 2017 that it had entered into an agreement to acquire a strategic equity holding of 18.23% in award-winning blockchain company, Brontech Pty Ltd ( Brontech ) for A$933,240. The acquisition was conditional upon obtaining shareholder approval pursuant to Chapter 11.1.2 of the Listing Rules as required by the ASX.
The Brontech acquisition was approved at a general meeting of shareholders held on 30 January 2018. The Company will confirm when the acquisition is completed. Shareholders also approved the appointment of Brontech Founder and CEO, Ms Emma Poposka, to the Board of Ookami as a nonexecutive Director. Emma’s appointment was effective at the close of the general meeting on 30 January 2018.
The Company identified the Brontech technology as having key strategic synergies that complements its Akela Platform as well as allowing for mass adoption by third parties within an ecosystem of advanced technology solutions encompassing ‘smart contracts’ and blockchain technologies, secure identity management and verification (“Know Your Client”)( KYC ) and anti-money laundering ( AML ) applications, data analytics, cryptocurrency solutions and security and encryption applications.
It is expected that integration of Brontech’s technology in the Akela Platform will:
-
Provide an additional layer of verification utilising blockchain technology to Akela’s existing KYC/AML processes enabling the platform to confidently scale, as well as enter into new third-party partnerships and product offerings.
-
Allow the verification of individual’s bank accounts, social media accounts and other professional and personal information data sets thereby allowing for up to 10,000 additional data points per customer.
-
Provide data portability compatible with the EU GDPR Directive and identity solutions across the entire Akela ecosystem as well as to third party clients and partners of Akela, delivering higher net value per customer, and data integrity and acceptance across partners.

ACN: 009 081 770
-
Increase the Akela user base by providing a channel to access to the ~9000 current users and future users in the Brontech’s Ecosystem.
-
Via the Brontech data marketplace, provide Akela unparalleled access to customer insights.
-
Allow Brontech clients with verified bank accounts to be instantly verified for Akela and seamlessly partake in offerings on the Akela platform.
-
Significantly enhance Akela’s marketing reach through Brontech’s smart marketing strategies and analytics to acquire 'look-alike' customers from LinkedIn, Facebook, and other social media platforms, thus enabling better targeting of existing and new potential customers.
-
Provide Akela the technology ‘know how’ and exposure to superior personal identity verification and management, advanced data analytics, as well as new revenue opportunities via access to purchasers within the data marketplace.
It is also envisioned that verification of individuals will be done utilising Brontech’s blockchain backed identity protocol. This means that the Akela database as well as other Brontech client databases of verified individuals, with their approval, can be easily on-boarded to other financial providers. This eliminates the need for repeated verification and allows effective, safe and securely encrypted transfer of customer identity information to other investment firms, which will grow the Akela platform with network partners.
Brontech has developed a ubiquitous data marketplace and digital identity platform that collects data directly from its users, built on blockchain ‘lossless’ technology by empowering people to capture the monetary value of their personal information, and empowering users to have a higher level of control over how their personal data (anonymised or including Personally Identifiable Information-PIIs) is shared with third parties.
Brontech’s data exchange platform can incorporate Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ identity data feeds with up to 10,000 unique data points per customer. The company is actively working to incorporate additional data sources such as bank feeds, shopping accounts, governmental sources etc.
This unparalleled clustering of data creates the basis for the development of future business models that will unleash a new wave of technologies driven by big data, machine learning & artificial intelligence (ML/AI) and smart personalisation.
To make the process secure, resilient and reliable, Brontech is developing unique IP for blockchain backed decentralised data storage and management. Brontech’s solutions are fully compliant and are leveraging the new local and global legislation changes regarding consumer privacy and data ownership such as General Data Protection Regulation ( GDPR ) in EU and Data Portability Initiative by the Productivity Commission in Australia.
Brontech’s Ecosystem counts ~9000 users to date and is growing on daily basis with more than 2 million attributes in the data pool and established pilot and commercial client contracts with Tier 1 bank, global insurance and accounting firms as well as SMEs.
Brontech supplies its corporate and SME clients with unique data products that are used for advanced analytics and market research. The company is also expanding its offerings of data products for the purposes of training Machine Learning algorithms to further appeal to its data buyers. Furthermore, the company has developed API to cater for clients that need to seamlessly extract data on individual level with explicit consent from the wallet holders. The API enables streamlined and instantaneous identity verification with zero friction. The platform is governed by strict Privacy Policy rules in compliance with the Privacy Act 1998 and the upcoming changes in regard to data portability.

With the investment backing of Ookami and its other equity partners, Brontech is rapidly expanding its blockchain based technology, cultivating one of the first ‘Big Data’ marketplaces where personal and identity data will be accessed, integrated, authorised and accepted in anonymised form by third-party purchasers and as consented identifiable set by platform developers for frictionless on-boarding and verification.
