Strategic Objectives Underlying the Transaction
Ali Tajskandar, CEO of Wishpond and SalesCloser, comments: "The proposed spin-out marks a major step forward in Wishpond's evolution, creating an opportunity to unlock meaningful shareholder value while allowing both Wishpond and SalesCloser to focus on their respective strengths. By separating the two businesses, Wishpond will be better positioned to improve its cash flow, eliminate competing resource demands and reinvest more aggressively into the growth of its core marketing technology platform. Wishpond plans to further advance its suite of AI-powered tools designed to make marketing and sales campaigns autonomous, helping businesses achieve greater productivity and better results. The stronger cash position should also allow Wishpond to strengthen its balance sheet and to continue innovation and expansion."
He further comments, "SalesCloser's business has grown rapidly in the past ten months, and we believe it will become a leader in the emerging conversational AI space for sales, supported by strong demand, rapid product innovations, and a growing portfolio of patents. As a standalone public company, SalesCloser will be better positioned to gain access to the funding, resources, and dedicated leadership team it needs to accelerate product development and market adoption. Wishpond will remain the majority shareholder, continuing to benefit from SalesCloser's financial success while focusing its own efforts on advancing AI-powered marketing automation. It is expected that the Transaction creates a clear path for both companies to scale faster, innovate deeper, and deliver greater long-term value for shareholders."
Terms of the Transaction
General Transaction Terms
Pursuant to the terms of the LOI, and subject to certain conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory and shareholder approvals, at the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), G2M will, through a series of steps, including a three-cornered amalgamation, acquire all the issued and outstanding securities of SalesCloser. At the Closing, SalesCloser will become a wholly owned subsidiary of G2M (after the Closing, the "Resulting Issuer"). Subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in the Definitive Agreement, G2M and SalesCloser anticipate that the Transaction will be completed on or about January 30, 2026.
As part of the Transaction, G2M will consolidate its common shares on a 7.15:1 basis, such that there will be 1,900,000 Resulting Issuer Shares held by G2M shareholders after the consolidation (the "G2M Share Consolidation").
At the Closing, Wishpond will be issued 22,750,000 Resulting Issuer Shares (the "Vend-in Shares"), representing approximately 68% of the Resulting Issuer Shares that are expected to be issued and outstanding upon closing of the Transaction. Wishpond can receive the Vend-in Shares on a tax-deferred basis with the appropriate rollover provisions set out in Section 85 of the Income Tax Act (Canada). The Vend-in Shares will be issued at a deemed price of $0.75 per Vend-in Share for aggregate consideration of approximately $17 million.
In addition to any legends required pursuant to applicable securities laws, all of the Vend-in Shares will be subject to escrow, pursuant to the policies of the TSXV.
Bridge Financing
Prior to the closing of the Transaction, SalesCloser intends to undertake a financing by way of a private placement, for gross proceeds of up to $1,500,000.00 (the "Bridge Financing"). Pursuant to the Bridge Financing, SalesCloser will issue convertible notes (the "Bridge Notes") which will be issued on a zero-interest basis, have a maturity date of three years and will be converted, through a series of steps, into up to 2,500,000 Resulting Issuer Shares (the "Bridge Shares") at a price of $0.60 per Bridge Share. The Bridge Notes are unsecured, and if the Transaction does not close, the Bridge Notes will remain as outstanding debt of SalesCloser with no conversion features. A commission of 7% warrants may be paid to certain finders by SalesCloser in respect of the Bridge Financing, with such warrants having an exercise price of $0.60 per share for a period of two (2) years after the Closing. It is intended that these commission warrants will be assumed by the Resulting Issuer as part of the Transaction and will be exercisable for Resulting Issuer Shares on the same terms; if the Transaction does not close, the commission warrants will not be exercisable by their holders. It is intended that the net proceeds from the Bridge Financing will be used to fund Transaction related expenses of Wishpond and SalesCloser, SalesCloser's business plan through sales and marketing initiatives and product development, and for general working capital purposes. Non-arm's length parties may participate in the Bridge Financing subject to Wishpond complying with applicable TSXV requirements.
Concurrent Financing
As a condition to closing of the Transaction, G2M intends to complete a concurrent non-brokered private placement (the "Concurrent Financing") of up to 5,333,333 subscription receipts ("Subscription Receipts") for proceeds of up to $4.0 million.
It is expected that each Subscription Receipt will have an issue price of $0.75 per Subscription Receipt. Each Subscription Receipt will convert into one unit of the Resulting Issuer ("Unit"), with each Unit being comprised of one Resulting Issuer Share and one half of one warrant (the "Concurrent Warrants"). Each whole Concurrent Warrant will be exercisable for one Resulting Issuer Share at an exercise price of $1.25 per share for a period of 24 months after the Closing. It is expected that all of the securities issued pursuant to the Concurrent Financing will be free trading at the closing of the Transaction.
It is intended that the net proceeds from the Concurrent Financing will be used to fund the completion of the Transaction, to advance the business plan of the Resulting Issuer through sales and marketing initiatives and product development, and for general working capital purposes.
It is expected that the Resulting Issuer may pay finders' fees to certain finders in the amount of 7% of gross proceeds in cash and the issuance to certain finders of the number of finder's warrants ("Finders' Warrants") equal to 7% of the number of securities sold in the Concurrent Financing, where each Finders' Warrant will be exercisable to purchase one Resulting Issuer Share for $0.75 for a period of 24 months after the Closing.
Founder Options
In addition, G2M will enter into employment agreements with each of the CEO and the COO of SalesCloser (the "Founder Employment Agreements"), pursuant to which agreements the CEO and COO will be granted options to acquire an aggregate of 3,800,000 Resulting Issuer Shares (the "Founder Options"). The Founder Options will have an exercise price of $0.60 per share, will vest immediately after the Closing and will expire five (5) years from the date of Closing.
Finders' Fee Shares
The LOI provides that the Resulting Issuer will issue 1,180,833 Resulting Issuer Shares (the "Finders' Fee Shares") to or at the direction of Robert Kiesman, subject to the approval of the TSXV.

The completion of the Transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including but not limited to: (a) closing of the Bridge Financing and the Concurrent Financing; (b) the absence of any material adverse change in the business of either SalesCloser or G2M; (c) G2M shareholders having approved the following matters at a shareholder meeting (the "CPC SH Meeting"), which will take place promptly after execution of the Definitive Agreement: (i) the continuation of G2M from the Canada Business Corporations Act to the Business Corporations act (BC) (the "Continuation"); (ii) the adoption of articles in form acceptable to Wishpond; (iii) approval of the grant of the Founder Options pursuant to the Founder Employment Agreements, as well as related approvals required by the TSXV; (iv) the G2M Share Consolidation; (v) the adoption of a 20% fixed stock option plan, in a form acceptable to Wishpond (the "20% Fixed ESOP"); (vi) the fixing of the number of directors of the Resulting Issuer at four (4), as well as the election of the Wishpond nominees set out below (the "Resulting Issuer Board"); (vii) the changing of the auditor of the Resulting Issuer; (viii) the amendment of certain agreements to which SalesCloser is a party; (ix) a business plan of the Resulting Issuer, in form acceptable to the TSXV; and * if required by the TSXV, the parties will have obtained a valuation opinion in support of the Transaction; (xi) the receipt of all requisite regulatory, stock exchange or governmental authorizations and consents, including the approval of the TSXV; (xii) Wishpond and the Resulting Issuer will have entered into an investor rights agreement (the "IRA") which will provide that, among other things, pursuant to IFRS 10, Wishpond will have the right to nominate a majority of the directors to the Resulting Issuer Board on an ongoing basis, provided that Wishpond owns at least 20% of the issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares; and (xiii) National Bank of Canada will have consented to the Transaction, in respect of certain lending arrangements with Wishpond.
