STOCK TREND CAPITAL ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF STRATEGIC INVESTMENT IN YOUNET A COMPANY DEVELOPING AI SOLUTIONS

Stock Trend Capital Inc. has closed the strategic investment to acquire over 20-per-cent interest in YOUNET from an arm's-length party, for total aggregate consideration of $855,000.

YOUNET is a privately held Canadian company developing an artificial intelligence (AI) platform called Rabbit AI. Rabbit AI is being designed to handle tasks normally done by a personal assistant. Depending on the needs of the user, Rabbit AI may produce written content or responses, such as e-mails, texts and documents, and is being designed to sift through communications and data to provide replies for its master.

Pursuant to the terms of a share purchase agreement that the company entered into on Aug. 1, 2023, with an arm's-length party, the aggregate consideration of $855,000 was satisfied through: (i) $250,000 paid in cash upon closing the acquisition; and (ii) $605,000 satisfied through the issuance of 27.5 million common shares in the capital of the company on the basis of a deemed price per common share equal to 2.2 cents per common share. In exchange for the consideration, the company acquired 26,666,667 common shares in the capital of YOUNET, representing over 20 per cent of YOUNET's issued and outstanding common shares following the acquisition.

The company sees the investment in YOUNET as providing the shareholders of the company with value as the company looks to diversify into the disruptive AI sector, and specifically YOUNET, as it is well positioned to build the technology that targets a highly lucrative established industry using its proprietary AI technology. The company expects the YOUNET shares acquired to increase in value as YOUNET comes closer to bringing its disruptive technology to the market.

Additional information

The acquisition is an independent and arm's-length transaction. No member of YOUNET's board of directors and none of YOUNET's shareholders are related parties to the company. No new 10-per-cent shareholder of the company was created as a result of the acquisition.

In connection with the acquisition, the company has paid a finder's fee to an arm's-length party, to be paid on closing the acquisition, equal to $100,000 and to be paid in common shares, being 4,545,454 common shares at 2.2 cents per common share.

Amendment to investment policy

As previously announced, the company has amended its investment policy to broaden and diversify the eligible industries of its investment targets to permit the company to make strategic investments within the artificial intelligence sector. The amended investment policy is available under the company's profile on SEDAR.
