give us further scale and strengthen our position as a global
wallet pass leader. It also gives us access to a number of key Tier

immediate revenue and strengthen our brand.”
REVISED DEFINITIVE ACQUISITION AGREEMENTS WITH RESPECT
TO ACQUISITION OF PASSWORKS S.A.
The aggregate purchase price for the Target Shares will be
€500,000, payable by the issuance of that number of common shares
of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”) as is
equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the Canadian dollar
equivalent of €500,000, calculated using the Bank of Canada daily
exchange rate on the fifth to last business day before the date of
the closing of the Transaction (the “Closing
Date”), and the denominator of which is the greater of (i)
the ten trading day volume weighted average price
(“VWAP”) for the ten TSX Venture Exchange (the
“TSXV”) trading day period ending five TSXV
trading days preceding the Closing Date, and (ii) The lowest price
permissible under the policies of the TSXV. The Consideration
Shares are subject to a contractual escrow, whereby, 20% of the
Consideration Shares will be released on the date of issuance, 25%
will be released 3 months following issuance, 35% will be released
6 months following issuance, and 20% will be released 9 months
following issuance.
As additional consideration of the Target Shares and in addition
to the Consideration Shares, subject to applicable laws and
approval of the TSXV at the time of issuance, in the event the
gross revenue of the Target and/or other affiliates of the Company
from sales originating from existing clients of the Target and/or
new clients originating as a result of the Vendor’s efforts meets
or exceeds €300,000 during the one year period from the Closing
Date, the Company has agreed to pay to the vendor an additional
€50,000 (the “Earn-Out Share Value”), payable in
common shares of the Company (the “Earn-Out
Shares”).
The number of Earn-Out Shares issuable will be that number of
common shares of the Company as is equal to a fraction, the
numerator of which is the Earn-Out Share Value converted into
Canadian funds using the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate on the
date that is five TSXV trading days prior to the date of the
Earn-Out Notice (as defined in the SPA), and the denominator of
which is the greater of (i) the VWAP of the common shares of the
Company existing at the time of calculation on the TSXV for the ten
TSXV trading day period ending five TSXV trading days prior to the
date of the Earn-Out Notice, and (ii) The lowest price permissible
under the policies of the TSXV.
The parties to the SPA are Arm’s Length Parties (as defined In
the policies of the TSXV) and there are no finder’s fees payable
pursuant to the Transaction.
On or about the Closing Date, the Company will also enter into a
one-year term service agreement (the “Service
Agreement”) with Sortido Cinzento, Unipessoal, LDA (the
“Service Provider”), a sole shareholder company
that is wholly owned and controlled by the Vendor, pursuant to
which, the Company proposes to engage the services of the Vendor on
a full time basis. Pursuant to the Service Agreement, the Company
has agreed to pay to the Service Provider a monthly fee of €10,000
(plus applicable taxes) for the term of the Service Agreement,
issue to the Service Provider, €60,000 in common shares of the
Company (“Common Shares”) on the one month
anniversary of the Service Agreement (the “Initial
Shares”) which such number of Initial Shares shall
be calculated by dividing the Canadian dollar equivalent of €60,000
using the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate for the third business
day before the date of issuance by the greater of: (i) the VWAP for
the ten TSXV trading day period ending five TSXV trading days
before the date of issuance; (ii) a 15% discount to the applicable
market price of the Common Shares on the TSXV; and (iii) The
minimum price permissible under the policies of the TSXV.
Additionally, the Service Provider will receive a pro rata payment
of up to €40,000 payable in Common Shares (the “First
Anniversary Shares”) based on the number
of actual months worked by the Service Provider. The First
Anniversary Shares shall be due and payable on the one (1) year
anniversary of the date of the Service Agreement (the
“First Anniversary Issuance Date”) and the number
of such First Anniversary Shares being issued calculated by
dividing the Canadian dollar equivalent of €40,000 using the Bank
of Canada daily exchange rate for the third business day before the
First Anniversary Issuance Date by the greater of: (i) the VWAP for
the ten TSXV trading day period ending five TSXV trading days
before the First Anniversary Issuance Date; (ii) a 15% discount to
the applicable market price of the Common Shares on the TSXV; and
(iii) The minimum price permissible under the policies of the
TSXV. The issuance of the First Anniversary Shares
remain subject to TSXV approval.
All Common Shares are subject to a hold period of four months
and one day from the date of issuance thereof in accordance with
applicable securities laws. The closing of the Transaction is
anticipated to receive conditional approval of the TSXV shortly. A
