Mr. Evan Gappelberg reports

ARWAY.AI CLOSES ACQUISITION OF MAP DYNAMICS, ADDING $1.2M REVENUE AND $250K EBITDA IN ALL-STOCK DEAL

ARway Corp. has agreed to acquire Map Dynamics (MapD) in exchange for four million shares valued at over $1-million based on the Friday, May 17, closing price of 26 cents/share. The shares are subject to a lock-up of four months and one day ending Sept. 29, 2024. MapD is a real-world mapping software company that has over 400 clients generating $1.2-million in annual revenue with $250,000 in EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) over the past 12 months ending in March, 2024. Map Dynamics is a well-established event technology company wholly owned by Nextech3D.AI. This strategic acquisition combines two interactive mapping platforms expected to fast-track ARway's product development road map and add significant new revenue channels and growth opportunities as both companies focus exclusively on mapping.

Evan Gappelberg, chief executive officer of ARway, commented on the acquisition:

"We are excited to close this acquisition of Map Dynamics, a move that significantly strengthens ARway's position in the augmented reality and mapping technology markets. This strategic integration of MapD's robust event technology with ARway's innovative AI-powered platform promises to deliver exceptional value to both companies." He continues, "This merger not only fast-tracks ARway's product development road map, but also opens up new revenue channels through indoor mapping solutions and interactive maps for navigation, enhancing the overall user experience and making ARway a more comprehensive augmented reality navigation and experience platform."

With the strategic combination of ARway and Map Dynamics technologies, ARway is set to enhance its platform and expand its market offerings significantly. This merger will merge ARway's augmented reality navigation capabilities with Map Dynamics' expertise in creating detailed venue maps and floor plans.

Here is how this integration will roll out new solutions and add value:

Indoor mapping solutions:

Enhanced 2-D and 3-D maps: ARway will utilize Map Dynamics' expertise to transform basic building floor plans into sophisticated, detailed maps that orient and inform visitors. These maps will be accessible both on-line and off-line, enhancing the user experience across various properties like shopping malls, airports and universities.

Omnichannel accessibility: The integration ensures that these detailed maps are not only available on ARway's platform, but can also be accessed through various channels, significantly broadening the user engagement points.

Interactive maps for navigation:

Same tools for new markets: Leveraging the tools that Map Dynamics' customers currently use, ARway will introduce interactive maps with advanced wayfinding capabilities. This will allow users to not only navigate through physical locations via augmented reality, but also view their routes on interactive 2-D and 3-D maps remotely.

Enhanced remote access: With the integration, users will be able to access navigation routes through digital directories and kiosks at properties, on websites and mobile browsers, enhancing the flexibility of usage.

Robust content management system:

Directory and search capabilities: ARway will enhance its directory features, which help users search for points of interest (POIs) within a venue, by integrating Map Dynamics' content management system. This system is adept at handling large volumes of exhibitor information, which will now support ARway's platform in managing detailed venue data effectively.

Scalable set-up experiences: The Map Dynamics platform and team's experience in setting up extensive trade show maps under tight deadlines will enable ARway to offer a seamless map set-up experience for its customers in various sectors, including retail, tourism and health care.

Map Dynamics customers and partners will continue to have access to the full platform and can expect new feature additions to assist booth sales, attendee registration and immersive navigation with ARway.
