ATW Tech Inc. has signed a letter of intent to acquire Publipage Inc., engaged in digital marketing and business solutions, activities that are complementary to the activities of its subsidiaries. In order to proceed with this acquisition and finance its commercial activities, ATW also announces that it intends to raise a private placement and/or financing for a maximum amount of $7,500,000. The sources of this funding have not yet been identified. Finally, ATW announces the resignation of Mr. Michel Goyette, as Chief Financial Officer, and his replacement on an interim basis by Mr. Guy Camire.

The Target

Publipage, also doing business as Lanla ( www.lanla.com ) is a growing society mainly held by Mrs. Helene Heroux and Mr. Gaetan Frigon (the " Vendors "). It offers a comprehensive portfolio of specialized programs and tools for measuring and improving the customer, employee, and brand experience. Having just launched the new version of its fully integrated platform, Hexia, Publipage combines and consolidates the results of all its measurement methodologies: Voice of the Customer, Survey, Mystery Customers, as well as the results of its Localtrac and Publitrac platforms. With more than thirty experienced employees, Publipage stands out in its market for its innovative, scalable, interconnected and comprehensive products. Publipage is a pioneer and a leader in its field. "Publipage's activities will allow us to leverage the expertise of our other subsidiaries and considerably enhance the group's commercial offering. In addition, Ms. Heroux and Mr. Frigon will remain involved in the company to ensure an efficient and smooth transition and continuity, in addition to leveraging their expertise and network for the benefit of ATW's other subsidiaries," said Christian Trudeau, President and Chief Executive Officer of ATW Tech. Further details and financial information on the Target will be provided in a future press release.

The closing date of the Transaction is currently set to be no later than July 1, 2024. The Purchase Price Base is $7,500,000, consisting of a combination of (i) $3,000,000 in cash and an additional purchase price of up to $3,000,000 in cash and/or common shares of ATW (" Shares ") payable upon achievement of certain objectives, (ii) the issuance on the Closing Date of a number of Shares having an aggregate value of $2,500,000, subject to the minimum requirements required by the regulators and the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV "), and (iii) the issuance of convertible debentures to each of the Vendors, in proportion to their ownership of common shares of Publipage, for an aggregate amount of $2,000,000, non-interest-bearing with a maturity date up to 18 months. The said Debenture could have a forced conversion clause in the event that the value of the ATW Shares reaches or exceeds $0.05 within 60 days prior to maturity or maintains such value for 90 days during the term of the Debenture, as well as any other customary clause for a transaction of this nature. The terms of the Debenture may be adjusted to meet the requirements of the Exchange and the Parties, as the case may be. The purchase price is subject to customary post-closing adjustments for working capital, transaction costs and net debt. The LOI is non-binding with respect to the terms of the Transaction and there can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be entered into or that the Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all. The closing of the Transaction and final determination of the purchase price also remain subject to ATW's satisfactory completion of due diligence of the Target; the negotiation of a definitive agreement and other final documentation; corporate and regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSXV. This Transaction is at arm's length and no finder's fees should be paid by ATW in connection with the Transaction. Following the Transaction and the Private Placement (for its maximum amount), it is estimated that the Sellers will control approximately 16% of the Shares.

Trading of the listed Shares will remain temporary halted pending review of the Transaction by the TSXV.

Private placement

The cash portion of the Purchase Price will be funded by a private placement and/or a financing for an amount of up to $7,500,000 and a minimum amount of $3,000,000 (the " Private Placement "). The Private Placement will also be used to fund ATW's business activities. The precise terms of this Private Placement will be set out in a future press release. However, it is anticipated that the Private Placement will consist of units, issued at a minimum price of approximately $0.02, each composed of one Share and one warrant entitling the holder to acquire one Share at an exercise price of $0.05 per Share for a period of 12 months following the closing date.
