--->the "Concurrent Private Placement") for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $5,000,000 USD at a price of $0.40 USD per c
--->ommon share on a post-consolidated basis.

In connection with the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that there will be certain changes to Kona Bay's managemen
--->t and its board of directors (further details of such proposed appointments and nominees will be provided as the Propo
--->sed Transaction progresses and when the Definitive Agreement has been entered into). A new board of directors of the R
--->esulting Issuer shall be nominated by PropGo and current directors and officers of Kona Bay shall resign at or prior t
--->o the closing of the Proposed Transaction.

---> under securities law or Exchange requirements.

--->rwise satisfied that the halt should be lifted.

--->ement is available. Kona Bay intends to apply for an exemption from sponsorship for this RTO. There is no assurance th
--->at an exemption from this requirement will be obtained.
