Good Flour to change name, business to AI, blockchain

2025-06-05 16:53 ET - News Release

Mr. Jason Dussault reports

THE GOOD FLOUR CORP. TO CHANGE BUSINESS TO FOCUS ON DIGITAL CURRENCIES AND DECENTRALIZED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND CHANGE NAME TO INTELLISTAKE TECHNOLOGIES CORP.

The Good Flour Corp. will change its corporate name to Intellistake Technologies Corp. and change its business to a technology company focused on decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) and engaging in operations across the blockchain ecosystem, including proof-of-stake mining, blockchain nodes, digital currencies and validators. The company will also undertake a private placement financing for gross proceeds of up to $2-million, restructure its outstanding debt and divest its existing food manufacturing business (subject to shareholder approval).

The Class A common shares of the company will remain trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange, pending satisfaction of all applicable requirements of the exchange.

Strategic entry and market overview

Decentralized AI integrates blockchain technology with AI to address data privacy, ownership and equitable access to AI technology:

  • The decentralized AI and digital currency market is forecasted to grow from around $3-billion (U.S.) in 2022 to $50-billion (U.S.) by 2028, at a substantial compound annual growth rate of approximately 59 per cent (ResearchAndMarkets, 2023).
  • This growth reflects heightened concerns around centralized AI models, as 78 per cent of business leaders expressed worries about data control and privacy within traditional AI frameworks (EY Global AI Adoption Index, 2023).
  • Notably, the decentralized AI-focused digital currency Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) Alliance ($FET) grew from a market capitalization of roughly $100-million (U.S.) in early 2023 to over $5-billion (U.S.) by Q3 2024; with an ATH (all-time-high) 24-hour trading volume of $868-million (U.S.) illustrating significant investor confidence and market validation (CoinMarketCap, 2024).

The emerging decentralized AI sector combines AI's practical utility with the transparency, security and ownership benefits of blockchain technology, marking a transformative shift in how AI services are delivered and monetized.

Change of business

Following the completion of the change of business, the company will operate as a technology company that operates in the emerging field of decentralized AI. The company will generate revenue through three main business lines: (1) developing custom AI software for industrial clients, (2) operating blockchain validator hardware that supports AI networks and (3) investing in AI-related digital currencies to primarily operate validator hardware:

  1. AI agent development. The company plans to create custom AI software systems called "AI agents" for businesses. These are intelligent software programs that can perform specific tasks automatically. For example, an AI agent might help a travel company by automatically booking flights and hotels when a customer provides their preferences and budget. The agent would search available options, compare prices and make reservations without human intervention. The company intends to deliver these solutions either as one-time projects or continuing subscription services. Revenue comes from implementation fees and monthly subscription payments.
  2. Validator operations. The company will operate specialized computers called validators that verify transactions on blockchain networks focused on AI applications. Validators are essentially digital accountants that check and approve transactions on these networks. When the company operates a validator, the company earns rewards in the form of digital currencies (tokens). Additionally, other token holders can delegate their tokens to the company's validators, and the company intends to take an 8-per-cent commission on the rewards earned.
  3. Digital currency investment and staking. The company will purchase, and intends to utilize for operations, digital currencies from projects building decentralized AI infrastructure. These digital currencies will be staked -- temporarily locked up to support network operations -- in exchange for earning additional digital currencies as revenue. This creates a steady income stream similar to earning interest on a deposit. Some digital currencies have lock-up periods during which they cannot be sold, but they continue generating rewards during this time. The company will also evaluate acquiring the other five largest digital currencies by market capitalization.

The company will not manufacture hardware or develop its own blockchain technology. Instead, the company will purchase equipment from established suppliers and configure it to support decentralized AI networks. The business model focuses on providing practical AI solutions to traditional industries while participating in the infrastructure that powers next-generation AI systems.

The company intends to implement comprehensive security measures to protect digital assets. These include ensuring digital assets are stored with institutional-grade custodians using multisignature wallet technology requiring multiple approvals for transactions; hardware security modules for key storage and transaction signing; and segregated storage with insurance coverage for client assets. The company also intends to implement operational security measures including regular security audits of custodian providers, continuous monitoring of validator infrastructure and incident response procedures for potential security threats.

Completion of the change of business requires approval of the exchange (including filing a new listing statement, see below) and will be subject to the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares, which may be obtained by way of a shareholder consent resolution under exchange policies.

Listing statement

In connection with the change of business and pursuant to exchange requirements, the company will file an updated listing statement under its profile on SEDAR+, which will contain relevant details regarding the change of business. The company intends to obtain shareholder approval for the change of business via a written consent resolution executed by holders of the majority of the shares.

Name change to Intellistake Technologies Corp.

The company intends to change its name to Intellistake Technologies Corp., concurrent with completion of the change of business, to better reflect the new focus of the company. In connection with the name change, the company expects to adopt STKE as its new ticker symbol and Cusip/ISIN for its shares. completion of the name change remains subject to the approval of the exchange.

Existing food business

The company acquired its existing business in 2021. The existing business is the company manufactures and processes a line of gluten-free and allergen free products for individual customers and larger, food-service customers, which include restaurants. The food business was launched during a time of disruption in the food sector with alternative meat, milk and cheese products generating significant consumer interest. Ultimately the alternative food sector has seen much slower growth than originally anticipated and while the company's revenues have grown, it remains unprofitable. Further, the company's existing revenues from the food business cannot support the continuing costs of operating as a public company. As a result, the company's board of directors has assessed that it would be in the best interests of the company to carry out the change of business and divest the food business.

The company has not yet identified a transaction for the food business, but it intends to retain an independent valuation advisor to assist with preparing an internal valuation of the food business and such valuation will assist the board of directors in the divestiture process. The company will obtain shareholder approval (including disinterested shareholder approval if required by the exchange or Multilateral Instrument 61-101 -- Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (MI 61-101)) for the divestiture of the food business and further details on the terms of any transaction and timing will follow in a subsequent press release. The change of business is not conditional upon the completion of the divestiture of the food business.

Financing

The company intends to undertake a non-brokered private placement offering of shares at a price of 15 cents per share to raise gross proceeds of up to $2-million through the issuance of up to 13,333,334 shares.

The net proceeds of the offering will be used for repayment of existing accounts payable, investor relations expenditures, acquisitions of digital currencies, development of AI agents, validator hardware acquisitions, research and development, and marketing, expenses in connection with the change of business, continuing expenses relating to the food business, working capital requirements, and other general corporate purposes.

The securities issued in the offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day. Closing of the financing is not contingent on approval of the change of business. There will be no restriction on using the proceeds from the offering prior to exchange or shareholder approval of the change of business. There is a risk that the change of business may not be completed for various reasons and in such scenarios investors will not be entitled to recover the proceeds of their investment.

Debt restructuring

The company will also restructure a total of $932,764 in existing accounts payable by converting such accounts into units at a price of 15 cents per unit. Each unit consists of one share and one warrant, with each warrant exercisable for a share for a term of three years from the date issuance at a price of 20 cents per warrant.

Further the company has an outstanding loan with an arm's-length lender, originally announced on March 8, 2024, July 5, 2024, Oct. 7, 2024, Jan. 23, 2025, and April 10, 2025. The loan has a principal amount of up to $1.25-million, a maturity date of July 31, 2025, bears interest at a rate of 10 per cent per annum and is unsecured. The loan will be restructured such that the principal and interest amount of the loan may be converted into units at a conversion price of 15.5 cents per unit and the maturity date shall be extended to be three years from the date of the completion of the restructuring.

To demonstrate continued support of the company, a director of the company will participate in the debt settlement and acquired an aggregate of 1,466,666 units to settle outstanding indebtedness of $220,000. The participation by the related party in the debt settlement is considered a related party transaction within the meaning of MI 61-101. The related party transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements under MI 61-101 in reliance upon the exemptions contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, as the fair market value of the transaction, insofar as it involves the related party, does not exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company will not file a material change report related to debt settlement more than 21 days before the expected closing of the debt settlement as required by MI 61-101 since the details of the participation by the related party was not settled until shortly prior to the closing of the debt settlement and the company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

Option grant

The company has granted to certain directors, officers and consultants a total of 10 million stock options exercisable at a price of 15.5 cents per share for a period of five years from the date of issuance. The stock options are subject to certain vesting conditions.
