TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 9, 2025 / Predictiv AI Inc. (TSXVNEX:PAI.H)(OTC PINK:INOTF)(FSE:71TA) (“Predictiv AI“, “PAI” or the “Company“) announces that further to the news release of March 18, 2025, it has entered into an amended letter of intent (the “LOI“) dated June 20, 2025 to acquire all issued and outstanding shares of Shift Technologies Canada Inc. (“Shift“) and HouseStack Holdings Inc. (“HouseStack“). The LOI outlines the principal terms and conditions of a business combination by way of a share exchange, amalgamation, or other similar form of transaction (the “Proposed Transaction“), which will result in Shift and HouseStack becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of Predictiv AI, or otherwise combining with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Predictiv AI intends for the Proposed Transaction to constitute a reverse-takeover transaction and the trading in the common shares of Predictiv AI (“PAI Shares“) will remain halted until the completion of the Proposed Transaction.
CSE Listing
It is a condition of closing of the Proposed Transaction that the Resulting Issuer obtains a listing of its common shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE“). In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company intends to voluntarily delist its common shares from the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange and apply for a listing of the common shares of the Resulting Issuer on the CSE. As a result, it is anticipated that the Proposed Transaction will be governed by the policies of the CSE. While it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will qualify for listing, the CSE has not reviewed the Proposed Transaction and there is no certainty that the application will be approved.
Proposed Transaction Summary
Predictiv AI will acquire all issued and outstanding shares in the capital of both Shift and HouseStack (the “Target Shares“) in exchange for approximately 78.4% (previously 82.5%) of the PAI Shares immediately prior to the closing of the Proposed Transaction (but not including the Financing described below). In connection with the closing of the Proposed Transaction, the Company expects to consolidate the PAI Shares (the “Consolidation“) on a ratio of 1 new share for each 9 old shares (previously 12.5 old shares). Based on the number of PAI Shares currently issued and outstanding of 128,500,616, it is expected that the Company will have approximately 14,277,846 post-Consolidation PAI Shares outstanding immediately prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction, resulting in the Company issuing approximately 62,678,641 PAI Shares (on a post-Consolidation basis) to the shareholders of Shift and HouseStack on closing of the Proposed Transaction.
In addition to the issuance of PAI Shares, on closing of the Proposed Transaction, Suman Pushparajah (“Pushparajah“) will receive (i) a cash payment of $250,000; (ii) a promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Resulting Issuer with a principal amount of $250,000, accruing interest at an annual rate of 12%, and repayable upon the Resulting Issuer achieving positive cash flow for two consecutive years. Pushparajah shall have the option to convert the principal amount of the Note into PAI Shares at the issue price under the Financing (as described below); and iii) any additional funds beyond the above $500,000 advanced by way of a loan from Pushparajah or other parties into Shift and/or HouseStack shall be converted into PAI Shares at the issue price under the Financing.
Completion of the Proposed Transaction is subject to a number of conditions including, but not limited to: (i) closing conditions customary to a transaction of the nature of the Proposed Transaction; (ii) receipt of regulatory approvals; (iii) conditional approval of the CSE; (iv) the completion of the Financing; (v) effecting the Consolidation; and (vi) other actions necessary to complete the Proposed Transaction. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction, the Financing, the Consolidation, or the reconstitution of the Resulting Issuer’s Board of Directors will be completed as proposed or at all.
Private Placement Financing
As part of the Proposed Transaction, an equity financing (the “Financing“) will be completed for gross proceeds of a minimum of $1,500,000 through the issuance of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $0.10 per Subscription Receipt. The funds from the Subscription Receipts will be held in escrow until the closing of the Proposed Transaction and the satisfaction of certain escrow release conditions (collectively, the “Release Conditions“). Each Subscription Receipt, upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions, will automatically convert into one (1) post-Consolidated Resulting Issuer Share and one (1) transferable share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“), subject to adjustment in certain events. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one post-Consolidated Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.15 per share for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Proposed Transaction, provided that, if, following four months and a day after the closing date of the Proposed Transaction, the volume weighted average price of the common shares on the CSE is equal to or greater than $0.30 for any 10 consecutive trading days, the Resulting Issuer may, upon providing written notice to the holders of Warrants, accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the date that is 30 days following the date of such written notice.
The Financing will be conducted on a non-brokered private placement basis and finder’s fees may be paid on all or a portion of the Financing, which would be 7% cash and 7% warrants, with each warrant exercisable into a post-Consolidated Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $0.15 per share. Any cash finder fees and warrants will only be payable and issuable upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions.
The net proceeds of the Financing will be used for the $250,000 cash payment due on closing of the Proposed Transaction, development costs for Shift and HouseStack and general working capital purposes.
