AF2 CAPITAL CORP. ENTERS INTO LETTER OF INTENT FOR REVERSE-TAKEOVER TRANSACTION WITH STAY INC.

AF2 Capital Corp. has entered into a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) dated Oct. 23, 2023, with Stay Inc., which sets forth, in general terms, the basic terms and conditions upon which Stay and AF2 will combine their business operations, resulting in a reverse takeover of AF2 by Stay and its shareholders. It is intended that the transaction will constitute the qualifying transaction of AF2, as such term is defined in exchange Policy 2.4 -- Capital Pool Companies, resulting in the combination of Stay and AF2, with the common shares of the resulting issuer to the transaction being listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, subject to approval of the exchange.

Stay is an on-line marketplace that currently facilitates short-term rentals (STR), and will be expanding into the mid- and long-term rental markets. This host-centric platform is designed for professional hosts, property managers and entrepreneurial-minded real estate investors. The platform also provides guests with access to a competitive alternative offering quality and professionally managed properties. Stay continues to grow with over 45,000 registered users and over 19,000 properties listed on the platform.

Stay is excited about this opportunity to expand its capital raising opportunities, reach and create a broader awareness of the Stay brand, while providing its existing and future securityholders with liquidity on a recognized stock market. "We're thrilled about the opportunity and what changes we can bring to the industry, servicing hosts differently from our competitors and being able to evolve our platform to service the ever-changing market conditions," said co-founder and chairman of the board, Scott McGillivray. Stay has been granted access to exclusive high-profile properties in partnership with Mr. McGillivray, the host of television shows such as HGTV's Vacation House Rules and Renovation Resort. Vacation House Rules' cottages and Renovation Resort's cabins are currently booking on the Stay platform.

The acceptance of the LOI is being followed by good faith negotiations of definitive documentation, including a definitive merger, amalgamation or share exchange agreement among the parties, setting forth the detailed terms of the transaction, including the basic understandings set out in the LOI, and such other terms and conditions as are customary for transactions of the similar nature and magnitude of the transaction. AF2 is a capital pool corporation (CPC) as defined under the policies of the exchange, and it is expected than an application for the listing of the resulting issuer shares will be submitted to the exchange following the execution of the definitive agreement. There can be no certainty that the transaction will be completed on the terms set out in the LOI or at all.

A comprehensive news release will be issued by AF2 in due course, disclosing details of the transaction, including financial information respecting Stay, the names and backgrounds of all persons who will constitute insiders of the resulting issuer, the issued and outstanding securities of each of AF2 and Stay, the terms of the exchange of securities of AF2 and Stay, the applicable security exchange ratios, the details of any meetings of the shareholders of AF2 and Stay required to approve the transaction and matters related thereto (as applicable), and other material information respecting the transaction once a definitive agreement has been executed and certain conditions have been met, including satisfactory completion of due diligence.
