VICTORIA, BC / ACCESSWIRE / June 17, 2024 / AI/ML Innovations Inc. ("AIML" or the "Company") (CSE:AIML)(OTCQB:AIMLF)(FWB:42FB), a leading company committed to acquiring and advancing Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning technologies that address urgent societal needs, is pleased to announce the completion and signing of a definitive agreement, dated June 3, 2024, for the asset purchase of cutting-edge technology from Naiad Lab Inc.

A proprietary Long ECG Neural Net (L-ECG NN) for Cardiovascular Insights

This advanced solution provides detailed beat-to-beat labeling for ECGs of any duration, up to and including 48 hours, covering approximately 170,000 labeled heartbeats. This enhanced level of detail enables further neural network processing to uncover critical insights and events related to cardiovascular disease and other ailments.

The Neural Network Store (NNStore)

A subscription-based online neural net store that allows device company developers and researchers to upload files for analysis by various AI systems.

Paul Duffy, CEO of AIML Innovations Inc., stated, "The acquisition of Naiad Lab's technology is a significant step for AIML. It not only strengthens our portfolio, but also positions us at the forefront of biometric measurement innovations."

Esmat Naikyar, CEO of Naiad Lab, added, "Our mission is to leverage state-of-the-art neural networks to deliver actionable health insights. The Long ECG Neural Net fits that model perfectly as it provides near instantaneous actionable feedback to the healthcare provider."

The salient points of the acquisition include:

1. AIML has purchased 100% of Naiad's Long ECG Neural Net, 100% of Naiad's Neural Net Store & NNaaS, and access to certain contracted services to be provided by Naiad's management and technical team on an ongoing basis under separate employment/consulting agreements (collectively, the "Assets").
2. AIML issues 6,700,000 Common Shares from its Treasury to Naiad, (currently valued at $335,000), as full and final payment for the Assets. The shares will be subject to a 12-month hold period.
3. AIML has created a new operating subsidiary which shall hold the Assets.
4. AIML agrees to pay a streaming royalty (the "Royalty") to Naiad for up to a 20-year period, as per the following terms:
   i. a 2% Royalty which is payable on gross revenue of not less than $1,500,000 and not greater than $5,000,000 inclusive per fiscal year, if and only if such revenue is directly attributable to third-party licensing of the Long ECG Neural Net, AND
   ii. a 3% Royalty which is payable on all gross revenue above $5,000,000 per fiscal year, if and only if such revenue is directly attributable to third-party licensing of the Long ECG Neural Net.
   iii. AIML at its sole discretion may purchase the Royalty from Naiad at any time for $1,000,000.
5. AIML grants a total of 700,000 stock options for 5 years at a $0.20 exercise price to management members of Naiad, in accordance with the Corporation's Stock Option Plan.
6. AIML has entered into consulting/management agreements with certain key members of Naiad Labs.
7. AIML has issued 3,000,000 Contingent Payment Shares to Naiad Labs for a 12-month period, which are convertible into 3,000,000 Common Shares from Treasury at a cost of $0.00 per share, subject to the following terms:
   i. the Long ECG Neural Net has formally entered the US FDA approval process; AND,
   ii. The Long ECG Neural Net generates gross revenue of not less than $1,000,000.

The Assets purchase has a non-arm's length component to it in that AIML's CPO, Esmat Naikyar, is the CEO and co-Founder of Naiad Lab Inc. Mr. Naikyar is neither on the board of directors of AIML, nor was he involved in AIML's approval process for this transaction.

The Asset purchase is subject to CSE approval. No Finder's Fee will be paid in conjunction with this transaction. The Asset purchase will not result in either a change of control or the creation of new control persons.
