THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Jan. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SPYR, INC. (OTCQB: SPYR), a diversified technology company developing products leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) for consumer use and large-scale applications and industries, commented on 2022 events of note concerning Company operations and an outlook for 2023.

CEO Tim Matula, noted: "I first want to thank our shareholders for sharing our vision this year. The year 2022 was eventful for SPYR. At the beginning of the year, we brought on new management and started the process of evaluating our current business and began the search for possible merger candidates. In June of this year, we purchased the assets of GeoTraq from JanOne, Nasdaq traded company (NASDAQ; JAN), in a transaction that did not require any cash up-front from SPYR. In addition to not requiring any up-front cash, we also received the patent and the inventory of over 13,000 chip sets which are a work in progress. In addition, we signed a manufacturing agreement to build the chipsets into finished goods inventory and created a supply chain for more chipsets.

In July we decided began the process of evaluating the performance of our Applied Magix subsidiary. Based on that review, the Board of Directors concluded that we should focus on our GeoTraq purchase as the market for their products is growing and our belief that with proper funding we would be able to sell the asset tracking devises to at wide range of enterprise customers.

On December 12, 2022, we entered into a settlement agreement and release with shareholders resulting in the cancelation and return to treasury of 36,272,684 common shares, representing 10.48% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company as of December 21, 2022.

On December 20, 2022, we wound down and dissolved Applied Magix in Nevada and now we are 100% focused on growing our GeoTraq business, products and services. Our first goal is to complete the over 13,000 chipsets that are ready for assembly. In addition, as we receive further funding our focus will be on expanding our current engineering staff and migrating to 5G chipsets when we order additional Chips.

We look forward to the new year with enthusiasm as we concentrate all of our efforts on GeoTraq.
