- A short term loan of A$193,200, which will be converted into 64.4 million shares at $0.003 per share

Rision CEO Megan Boston, spoke on the promising development: “We welcome this initial investment from Chapmans and look forward to working with Chapmans to rapidly expand the existing business via its network of Asian Pacific prospective clients.”
Should it exercise all of its shares and options CHP will emerge with a 19.8 per cent stake in Rision, making it the company’s largest shareholder. Rision will hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) to approve the measures in March 2018.
However, CHP is an early stage play and as such any investment decision should be made with caution and professional financial advice should be sought.
CHP Chairman Peter Dykes also spoke on the agreement: “We are very pleased to announce our investment in Rision. We believe this investment fits our mandate of identifying technology investments with significant potential.”
