Based on the number of PAI Shares currently issued and outstanding of 128,500,616, it is expected that the Company will have approximately 10,280,049 post-Consolidation PAI Shares outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction, resulting in the Company issuing approximately 63,000,000 PAI Shares post-Consolidation basis) to the shareholders of Shift and HouseStack on closing of the Proposed Transaction.

Closing of the Financing is anticipated to occur on or around April 30, 2025, or such other date as may be determined by the Company. The Financing remains subject to acceptance by the TSXV.
