MOJAVE BRANDS INC. ANNOUNCES BINDING LETTER OF INTENT FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION TRANSACTION WITH PROMINENT HEALTHCARE AI COMPANY

Mojave Brands Inc., on Jan. 31, 2024, has entered into a binding letter of intent (LOI) with LAI SPV Corp. (LAI SPV) and Light AI Inc. (LAI), under which the company, LAI SPV and LAI will combine their respective businesses by way of a share exchange, merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or such other similar form of transaction. The parties intend to negotiate and execute a definitive agreement respecting the transaction within 45 days of the execution of the LOI. The transaction shall result in a reverse takeover (RTO) of the company by LAI and shall constitute a fundamental change, as defined by the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE). Upon completion of the transaction, the resulting entity will continue to carry on the business of LAI.

Summary of the Transaction

The purpose of the LOI is to reflect the desire of each party to effect an RTO pursuant to which the Company plans to issue 3.89 common shares in the capital of the Company (each a "Mojave Share") for each of the 8,514,957 issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of LAI (each an "LAI Share") and to issue 1 Mojave shares for each LAI SPV shares outstanding by way of a share exchange, merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement or such other comparable form as determined by the parties following a review of all relevant tax, corporate and securities law considerations and a due diligence review. It is anticipated that upon closing of the Transaction ("Closing"), the former shareholders of LAI will beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, 33,161,113 common shares of the Resulting Issuer ("Resulting Issuer Shares") or approximately 59% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares on a non-diluted basis prior to giving effect to the concurrent financings described below. On Closing, all convertible securities of LAI will be exchanged for convertible securities of the Resulting Issuer and the exercise prices or conversion prices will be adjusted accordingly in accordance with their terms. The Transaction constitutes an arms' length transaction.

The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to:

About LAI

Light AI Inc. is a private British Columbia healthcare company focussed on developing artificial intelligence health diagnostic applications. LAI is developing a technology platform which represents the Holy Grail of next generation diagnostics: it applies AI algorithms to smartphone images--starting with images of StrepA-to identify disease in seconds. Its patented, app-based solution requires no swabs, lab tests or proprietary hardware of any kind-its hardware platform is the 4.5B smartphones that exist in the world today.

In pre FDA studies, LAI's algorithm has attained accuracy of almost 97% in identifying StrepA, a disease which infects over 600M per year globally, and kills as many children per year as malaria. Notably, 97% Accuracy is on par with the "Gold Standard" swab culture that is currently used for the diagnosis of StrepA, and the company's AI has also achieved a Negative Predictive Value (NPV) of 100%, meaning it can specify with 100% certainty that someone does NOT have StrepA.

LAI's approach to applying AI to smartphone images can be expanded to other throat conditions, as well as other areas of analysis, such as the human eye and skin. The company's vision is to combine the smartphone with AI-in-the-Cloud to create a Digital Clinical Lab that provides quick and accessible diagnosis for countless conditions that today require expensive and time-consuming imaging or lab processes.

LAI's Founding CEO, Peter Whitehead, is a data scientist/entrepreneur who has founded, built and sold a medical imaging company. He has been developing AI algorithms for processing medical images since the 1990s, and has been awarded image analytics patents over a career spanning 3 decades. In LAI, he has surrounded himself with globally recognized leaders, including: 1) the former CIO of Johnson & Johnson R&D as LAI's COO; 2) an "FDA Lead" who spent 16 years in regulatory affairs at Medtronic, including as Director, Regulatory Affairs; 3) a former senior advisor to the Gates Foundation and coordinator of malaria diagnostics at the WHO; 4) the CDC's Principal Investigator for the CDC's National Sentinel Network, which is a network of Emergency Departments coordinating disease surveillance to identify emerging pathogens and pandemics.

LAI's interactive process of AI algorithm development began in 2016. LAI has built a library of ~280,000 images of the back of the throat-what may be the largest database of pharyngitis images in the world today-in order to achieve its NPV of 100% and Accuracy of almost 97%. Building this library and the accompanying AI algorithms took 7 years, the collaboration of more than 14 partners (including the American Heart Association, UCLA Health Network, LabCorp and Cincinnati Children's Hospital), US$9.3M in dilutive capital, and approximately US$10M in non-dilutive capital.
