NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES
TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / November 4, 2025 / Route1 Inc. (TSXV:ROI) (“Route1” or the “Company”), a leading engineering and professional services firm specializing in the deployment and integration of ALPR and other advanced data capture-based technologies to city, state, and federal first responder departments, public safety, colleges and universities, and parking managers, today announces a non-brokered private placement of units(each, a “Unit“) at a price of C$0.075 per Unit for gross proceeds of up to C$500,000 (the “Offering“).
Each Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company (a “Common Share“) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant“). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share at a price of C$0.10 for a period of 18 months following the issue date of the Units.
The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to fund the development of Route1’s Actionable Business Intelligence (“ABI“) software application.
Certain insiders may subscribe for Units under the Offering. The issuance of Units to such insiders will constitute a “related party transaction” under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company intends to rely on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements set out in Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively.
The Offering is expected to close in multiple tranches. The first tranche is anticipated to close on or about November 19, 2025, or such other date as the Company may determine. Closing of the Offering is subject to customary conditions, including the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV“).
Version 4.0 – AI Co-Pilot
To be released in early 2026, Route1’s co-pilot will be an AI operations co-pilot that acts as a force multiplier – exponentially extending staff capability. It will be purpose-built to optimize parking operations by combining advanced machine learning with a secure, scalable platform that keeps control of sensitive data in-house.
The system will run on a dedicated on-premises AI infrastructure including three GPU servers, backed by shared storage, solid-state checkpointing, and high-speed networking to deliver consistent low-latency performance.
Sized for state-of-the-art 13B-70B models, Route1’s AI co-pilot will be designed for continuous refinement and understanding of unique parking operations and how socioeconomic factors and decisions can impact those operations in real time. Engineered for adaptive learning through feedback, measurement and refinement cycles, Route1’s AI co-pilot will empower our clients to achieve even more in the future by unlocking advanced capabilities such as event-aware staffing, predictive compliance sweeps, proactive curb allocation, and strategic “what-if” investment planning. The more it is used, the stronger it becomes – growing into a domain-specialized AI expert in parking operations.
