Mr. Evan Gappelberg reports

NEXTECH3D.AI SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE IPO SPIN-OUT OF ITS GENERATIVE-AI CAD-3D DESIGN STUDIO "TOGGLE3D.AI"

Nextech AR Solutions Corp. received shareholder approval at the annual and special meeting of shareholders of the company held on June 5, 2023, to proceed with its proposed plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) to spin out the company's Toggle3D.ai CAD 3-D design studio and associated assets. The final court hearing to approve the plan of arrangement is scheduled for June 9, 2023, with a record date of June 8 and listing. The expected trade date for Toggle3D.ai is June 13, 2023 (subject to approvals), of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

As previously announced, the arrangement will result in, among other things, Nextech receiving an aggregate of 13 million common shares of Toggle3D.ai (Spinco shares) and an aggregate of four million Toggle3D.ai (Spinco) shares being distributed directly to the shareholders of Nextech on a pro rata basis.

Toggle3D.ai is a groundbreaking software-as-a-service solution that utilizes generative artificial intelligence to convert CAD files, apply stunning 4K texturing and enable seamless publishing of superior 4K 3-D models, serving various industries within the $160-billion CGI (computer-generated image) market. With its augmented reality-based rapid prototyping Web app, Toggle3D.ai empowers designers, artists, marketers and e-commerce owners to effortlessly convert, texture, customize, and publish high-quality 3-D models and experiences, regardless of technical or 3-D design expertise.

After the initial public offering spinout Nextech is going to retain 13 million shares or about a 50-per-cent ownership stake in Toggle3D.ai. The company plans to sell approximately 8.4 million shares at 25 cents per unit (including a 50-cent warrant). The company has raised $2.1-million giving Toggle3D.ai a $7.1-million postmoney valuation.

The spinout of Toggle3D.ai follows Nextech's successful spinout on Oct. 26, 2022, of ARway.ai, currently trading on the CSE as ARWY, on the OTCQB as ARWYF and on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as E65.

Toggle3D.ai is emerging as a stand-alone public company, initially trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE) as TGGL, with plans to expand its presence to the Frankfurt and OTC markets in the near future. This strategic move not only drives innovation but also unlocks substantial shareholder value, reflecting Nextech's commitment to driving the industry forward.
