Good Flour receives conditional CSE approval for COB

2025-06-30 03:41 ET - News Release

Mr. Dean Golbeck reports

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

The Good Flour Corp. has provided an update on its change of business focusing on decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) and engaging in operations across the blockchain ecosystem (including proof-of-stake mining, blockchain nodes, digital currencies and validators), corporate name change to Intellistake Technologies Corp., and proposed new ticker symbol, ISTK.

The company has achieved the following milestones in completing the change of business:

  • Received conditional approval from the Canadian Securities Exchange;
  • Obtained approval of the company's shareholders for the change of business by way of written consent resolution;
  • Completed its previously announced offering (defined below).

Upon completion of the change of business, the Class A common shares of the company will remain trading on the exchange under the symbol ISTK, pending satisfaction of all applicable requirements of the exchange including final approval from the exchange on the change of business.

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, 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.

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.

Name change to Intellistake Technologies

The company intends to change its name to Intellistake Technologies, 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 ISTK as its new ticker symbol and Cusip number/ISIN (international securities identification number) for its shares. Completion of the name change remains subject to the final approval of the exchange.

Offering

On June 30, 2025, the company closed a non-brokered private placement offering of shares at a price of 15 cents per share to raise gross proceeds of $2-million through the issuance of 13,333,334 shares. The securities issued in the offering are subject to a statutory hold period that ends on Oct. 31, 2025.

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, marketing, expenses in connection with the change of business, continuing expenses relating to the food business, working capital requirements, and other general corporate purposes.

Debt restructuring

On June 30, 2025, the company also restructured a total of $932,764 in existing accounts payable by converting such accounts into 6,218,426 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 until June 30, 2028, at a price of 20 cents per warrant.

Further, the company had 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 was restructured into a convertible debenture 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 June 30, 2028.

To demonstrate continued support of the company, a director of the company participated 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 Multilateral Instrument 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 closing of the debt settlement as required by MI 61-101 since the details of the participation by the related party were 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.
