FALCONSTAR VENTURES INC.
FALCONSTAR PROVIDES COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE ON QUALIFYING TRANSACTION WITH FANMORE TECHNOLOGIES
Vancouver, British Columbia - October 1, 2026 - Falconstar Ventures Inc. ("Falconstar" or the "Company") (TSXV: FSTV.P), a capital pool company ("CPC"), is pleased to provide further details of its agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Fanmore Technologies Inc. ("Fanmore") (the "Transaction" or "QT") announced in the Company's news release dated September 22, 2026.
Fanmore is a loyalty and rewards technology company with a platform designed to support fan engagement and first-party data collection for sports teams and leagues. The Transaction will constitute Falconstar's Qualifying Transaction under Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies ("Policy 2.4") of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Unless otherwise indicated, all dollar amounts are in Canadian dollars.
"Fanmore brings a true loyalty and rewards model to professional sports, creating a stronger connection between teams and their fans while opening new opportunities around data, engagement and revenue," said Giovanni Gasbarro, Chief Executive Officer of Falconstar. "With the technology developed and validated, we believe the combination of a differentiated offering, a large addressable market and a business entering commercialization creates a compelling opportunity for growth."
"For teams and leagues, the opportunity goes well beyond rewarding fans," said Sherif Khair, Chief Executive Officer of Fanmore. "We've taken the proven principles behind aviation-style loyalty programs and built them specifically for the sports industry, connecting fan engagement, first-party data and partner/sponsor activation in one ecosystem. The result is a more complete view of the fan base and fan economy, more ways to build meaningful relationships with fans, and measurable opportunities for partners to reach and engage them."
The Transaction
The Transaction is expected to be completed by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement"), pursuant to which Falconstar will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Fanmore (the "Fanmore Shares") and Fanmore will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Falconstar.
Following completion of the QT, Falconstar, as the resulting issuer (the "Resulting Issuer") will carry on the business of Fanmore and its wholly-owned subsidiary, iVirtual Technologies Inc. ("iVirtual"), and is expected to be listed as a Tier 2 technology issuer on the TSXV.
Holders of Fanmore Shares will receive one (1) common share of the Resulting Issuer (each, a "Resulting Issuer Share") for every two (2) Fanmore Shares held (the "Exchange Ratio"), except for Fanmore Shares issued on settlement of the SAFEs or conversion of the 2026 Convertible Notes (each as defined below), which will be exchanged on a 1:1 basis, subject to TSXV acceptance.
Treatment of Fanmore Securities and Debt
Fanmore Common Shares
Fanmore has 73,103,369 existing Fanmore Shares and proposes to issue 9,745,000 additional Fanmore Shares under its September 2026 financing at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $487,250. This financing has not yet closed. Assuming completion on those terms, an estimated 82,848,369 Fanmore Shares will be outstanding before the conversions and settlements described below. At the Exchange Ratio, these shares will be exchanged for approximately 41,424,185 Resulting Issuer Shares at a deemed price of $0.25 per share, representing approximately $10.36 million in consideration for those Fanmore Shares. This excludes the additional securities described below.
Restricted Share Units
Fanmore's 8,450,000 outstanding restricted share units ("RSUs") are scheduled to vest on October 19, 2026 and will settle in Fanmore Shares before completion of the Transaction, resulting in approximately 4,225,000 Resulting Issuer Shares at the Exchange Ratio, subject to applicable tax withholding and fractional-share adjustments. Any RSUs remaining outstanding will be exchanged or adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.
Options
Fanmore's 300,000 outstanding share purchase options, each exercisable at $0.08 per Fanmore Share, will be exchanged for 150,000 replacement options of the Resulting Issuer, each exercisable at $0.16 per Resulting Issuer Share, with existing vesting schedules and expiry dates substantially preserved, subject to TSXV acceptance.
SAFEs
Fanmore has 20 outstanding simple agreements for future equity ("SAFEs"), with aggregate purchase amounts of $8,400 and US$16,423.02. Under their existing terms, holders may elect to receive cash or Fanmore Shares. The proposed treatment under the Transaction assumes that all holders elect to receive Fanmore Shares instead of cash. Subject to those elections, any required amendments and TSXV acceptance, the SAFEs are proposed to settle at an estimated price of $0.08 per Fanmore Share, with those shares exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares on a 1:1 basis, without application of the Exchange Ratio. Using an illustrative exchange rate of $1.39 per US$1.00, approximately 390,350 Resulting Issuer Shares would be issued, comprising 105,000 for the Canadian-dollar SAFEs and approximately 285,350 for the U.S.-dollar SAFEs. The SAFEs will be discharged upon settlement.
2026 Convertible Notes
Fanmore has 69 outstanding unsecured convertible debentures issued in 2026 with aggregate stated principal of $69,000 (the "2026 Convertible Notes"). Principal and accrued and unpaid interest are proposed to convert at an estimated price of $0.08 per Fanmore Share, with those shares exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares on a 1:1 basis, subject to any required holder agreements and TSXV acceptance. This would result in approximately 862,500 Resulting Issuer Shares for principal, plus shares for accrued and unpaid interest.
Legacy Debt Instruments
Fanmore has two legacy unsecured convertible debentures with aggregate principal of $250,000 (the "Legacy Debentures") and two legacy shareholder loans with aggregate stated principal of $285,034.88 (the "Legacy Shareholder Loans" and, together, the "Legacy Debt Instruments"), for aggregate stated principal of $535,034.88, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Legacy Debt Instruments remaining outstanding as debt are proposed to be assigned to and assumed by Falconstar on completion of the Transaction under amended or replacement instruments, subject to lender agreement and TSXV acceptance. The parties anticipate a two-year restriction on conversion following completion, with continuing conversion rights adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio. No cash repayment at closing is contemplated.
Where a lender does not agree to the amendments or replacement instrument, the applicable Legacy Debt Instrument will be settled in Fanmore Shares in accordance with its existing terms, subject to applicable conversion conditions and any required holder election or consent. Those shares will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares at the Exchange Ratio.
Pro Forma Capitalization of the Resulting Issuer
Upon completion of the Transaction and the Concurrent Financing (as defined below), assuming completion of Fanmore's proposed September 2026 financing on the terms described above and the other assumptions set out below, approximately 62,352,035 Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued and outstanding. Former Fanmore securityholders will hold approximately 75.22%, existing Falconstar shareholders approximately 11.63%, Concurrent Financing investors approximately 12.83%, and the finder approximately 0.32%, as set out below:

Illustrative fully diluted capitalization is approximately 66,977,384 Resulting Issuer Shares, including the above options and warrants, 150,000 replacement Fanmore options and 3,475,349 shares on conversion of the Legacy Debt Instruments under their existing terms, assuming satisfaction of the applicable conversion conditions and without giving effect to the proposed two-year conversion restriction.
The issued-share estimate assumes completion of the Concurrent Financing, share settlement of all RSUs and SAFEs, conversion of the 2026 Convertible Notes at the estimated price above, issuance of 200,000 finder's shares and no Legacy Debt conversion at closing. The estimates exclude shares issuable for accrued interest, additional finder's fees or other transaction-related issuances and remain subject to final calculations and TSXV acceptance. Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.
Resulting Issuer Name
The Resulting Issuer will change its name to "Fanmore Technologies Inc." or another name agreed by the parties, subject to name availability and required approvals.
Conditions to Completion
Completion of the Transaction is subject to customary conditions, including satisfactory due diligence; execution of a definitive agreement governing the Transaction (the "Definitive Agreement"); completion of the Concurrent Financing; implementation of the agreed treatment of Fanmore's securities and debt; all required board, shareholder, court, TSXV and other regulatory approvals and third-party consents; satisfaction of the TSXV's listing requirements; and no material adverse change in either party. Falconstar's due diligence is subject to its satisfaction in its sole discretion.
The Arrangement will require approval by Fanmore shareholders and interim and final orders of the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
Secured Working Capital Loan
In connection with the Transaction, Falconstar will provide Fanmore with a secured loan in the principal amount of $100,000 to fund its working capital pending completion of the QT.

The interest rate, maturity, security, repayment terms, permitted use of proceeds and treatment on completion or termination of the QT remain to be agreed by the parties and, where required, accepted by the TSXV.
Concurrent Financing
In connection with the Transaction, Falconstar intends to complete an equity financing for gross proceeds of $2,000,000, based on 8,000,000 underlying common shares at $0.25 per share (the "Concurrent Financing"). The Concurrent Financing is expected to be structured through subscription receipts, special warrants or a similar instrument, with proceeds held in escrow pending completion of the Transaction. The underlying common shares will continue as Resulting Issuer Shares following completion.

acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Fanmore (the "Fanmore Shares")
and Fanmore will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Falconstar.

except for Fanmore Shares issued on settlement of the SAFEs or conversion of the 2026
Convertible Notes (each as defined below), which will be exchanged on a 1:1 basis, subject to
TSXV acceptance.
Treatment of Fanmore Securities and Debt
Fanmore Common Shares
Fanmore has 73,103,369 existing Fanmore Shares and proposes to issue 9,745,000 additional
Fanmore Shares under its September 2026 financing at $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of
$487,250. This financing has not yet closed. Assuming completion on those terms, an estimated
82,848,369 Fanmore Shares will be outstanding before the conversions and settlements
described below. At the Exchange Ratio, these shares will be exchanged for approximately
41,424,185 Resulting Issuer Shares at a deemed price of $0.25 per share, representing
approximately $10.36 million in consideration for those Fanmore Shares. This excludes the
additional securities described below.
Restricted Share Units
Fanmore's 8,450,000 outstanding restricted share units ("RSUs") are scheduled to vest on
October 19, 2026 and will settle in Fanmore Shares before completion of the Transaction,
resulting in approximately 4,225,000 Resulting Issuer Shares at the Exchange Ratio, subject to
applicable tax withholding and fractional-share adjustments. Any RSUs remaining outstanding will
be exchanged or adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

Fanmore's 300,000 outstanding share purchase options, each exercisable at $0.08 per Fanmore
Share, will be exchanged for 150,000 replacement options of the Resulting Issuer, each

all holders elect to receive Fanmore Shares instead of cash. Subject to those elections, any
required amendments and TSXV acceptance, the SAFEs are proposed to settle at an estimated
price of $0.08 per Fanmore Share, with those shares exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares on
a 1:1 basis, without application of the Exchange Ratio. Using an illustrative exchange rate of $1.39

agreements and TSXV acceptance. This would result in approximately 862,500 Resulting Issuer
Shares for principal, plus shares for accrued and unpaid interest.
Legacy Debt Instruments
Fanmore has two legacy unsecured convertible debentures with aggregate principal of $250,000
(the "Legacy Debentures") and two legacy shareholder loans with aggregate stated principal of
$285,034.88 (the "Legacy Shareholder Loans" and, together, the "Legacy Debt Instruments"),
for aggregate stated principal of $535,034.88, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Legacy Debt Instruments remaining outstanding as debt are proposed to be assigned to and
assumed by Falconstar on completion of the Transaction under amended or replacement
instruments, subject to lender agreement and TSXV acceptance. The parties anticipate a two-
year restriction on conversion following completion, with continuing conversion rights adjusted to
reflect the Exchange Ratio. No cash repayment at closing is contemplated.

shares on conversion of the Legacy Debt Instruments under their existing terms, assuming

principal amount of $100,000 to fund its working capital pending completion of the QT. Any

proceeds of $2,000,000, based on 8,000,000 underlying common shares at $0.25 per share (the
"Concurrent Financing"). The Concurrent Financing is expected to be structured through
subscription receipts, special warrants or a similar instrument, with proceeds held in escrow
pending completion of the Transaction. The underlying common shares will continue as Resulting
Issuer Shares following completion.
The Concurrent Financing is intended to qualify as an Arm's Length Financing under TSXV Policy
2.1, with full subscription by Public Shareholders (as defined in TSXV policies). The resulting
shares are expected to be freely tradeable on completion of the Transaction, subject to applicable
securities-law exemptions and TSXV acceptance. The final size, price and terms remain subject
to agreement between the parties and TSXV acceptance.
Net proceeds are intended to fund the Resulting Issuer's business plan for at least 18 months
following completion of the Transaction, transaction expenses and working capital.
Finder's Fees and Commissions
In connection with the Transaction, Falconstar anticipates paying a finder's fee of $50,000 to
Rodney Ireland, to be satisfied by the issuance of 200,000 Resulting Issuer Shares at a deemed
price of $0.25 per share. Payment of the finder's fee will be conditional upon completion of the
Transaction and receipt of TSXV acceptance. Mr. Ireland is at arm's length to Falconstar and
Fanmore.
Anticipated Timing
The parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Transaction as soon as
practicable after November 10, 2026. The outside date for completion of the Transaction is March
