RevoluGROUP and Global Compliance Applications Corp. Announce Strategic Alliance with RP Payment Services

Vancouver, BC - January 9th, 2026 - RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. (TSX-V: REVO) ("RevoluGROUP") and Global Compliance Applications Corp. (CSE: APP) ("GCAC") are pleased to announce the execution of a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding, dated January 6, 2026 (the "MoU"), outlining a proposed strategic investment and operational partnership involving RP Payment Services S.L., a regulated Spanish subsidiary within the RevoluGROUP group.

Under the proposed framework, RP Payment Services S.L. would continue to operate within the RevoluGROUP group structure and be governed jointly by RevoluGROUP and GCAC, with equal board representation. Subject to definitive agreements and applicable regulatory and exchange approvals, GCAC would provide operational management support services, subject to oversight by a jointly governed board, with RevoluGROUP retaining approval authority over defined strategic, regulatory, and risk-related matters.

This governance-led structure is intended to align operational expertise with disciplined oversight, enabling the platform to scale responsibly while maintaining strong regulatory standards and appropriate shareholder protections.

Ryan Gibson, CEO of Global Compliance Applications Corp., said, "We're excited to bring together RP Payment Services' regulated European platform and our technology to jointly scale the business, support new clients, and build a MiCA-ready solution purpose-built for growth in a highly regulated environment. Bringing fiat on-ramps, crypto off-ramps, coupons, and secure communications into a single wallet is not just a UX improvement-it fundamentally changes the unit economics, engagement model, and trust layer of digital commerce. With this partnership, we have a unified wallet that combines money movement + incentives + communication, all settled fast, low-cost, and securely on Ethereum L2. We are turning a wallet from a passive payment tool into a turn-key active commercial operating system, which will make a difference in creating loyalty with our users over other wallets."

Building a Compliance-Driven, MiCA-Ready RP Payment Platform

RP Payment Services forms a core component of RevoluGROUP's European crypto-to-fiat capabilities, supporting RevoluEX and enabling digital assets to move into everyday, regulated payment use. The platform provides a foundation for connecting crypto activity with real-world financial services across the RevoluPAY ecosystem.

The MoU is focused on building upon that foundation. By integrating advanced compliance and onboarding technology, the parties see a clear opportunity to expand the platform under Europe's Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulatory framework. This approach is designed to support larger clients, more sophisticated use cases, and long-term growth in a market where regulatory standards are high and trust is essential.

Subject to regulatory approvals, the integration of GCAC's Efixii(TM) compliance technology is expected to enhance how clients are onboarded, monitored, and supported across the platform. The objective is a unified, compliance-first payments solution designed to operate and scale responsibly within European markets.

Alfredo Manresa, CEO of RevoluPAY EP S.L., commented, "This MoU is an exciting step forward for our European operations. It allows us to deepen our MiCA-aligned compliance capabilities while expanding the platform to support new clients and growth opportunities in a highly regulated environment."

Indicative Investment Structure and Approvals

Under the proposed framework, GCAC would acquire up to a 50% interest in RP Payment Services S.L. on an indicative, non-binding basis. RP Payment Services S.L. would remain within the RevoluGROUP group, with RevoluGROUP retaining at least a 50% ownership interest, joint governance, and approval rights over defined strategic, regulatory, and risk matters.

The indicative consideration under discussion consists of euros150,000 in cash (approximately CAD $243,000) and up to 88,000,000 common shares of Global Compliance Applications Corp. issued at CAD $0.005 per share (CAD $440,000), representing aggregate indicative consideration of approximately CAD $683,000, subject to final structure, due diligence, and definitive documentation. Any investment would be applied at the subsidiary level to support regulatory licensing, compliance infrastructure, and business development within RP Payment Services S.L.

Gavin McMillan, Director of RevoluGROUP Canada Inc., added: "This partnership allows us to recognise the value of RP Payment Services S.L. and move forward with new capital, revenue opportunities, and operational focus, supported by aligned partners and proven governance, in a way that strengthens the business while protecting our shareholders from dilution."

The MoU is non-binding, except for customary confidentiality and governing law provisions. Completion of the proposed transaction remains subject to due diligence, the execution of definitive agreements, and receipt of all required regulatory, exchange, and corporate approvals. There can be no assurance that a definitive transaction will be completed.
