NEXTECH3D.AI CEO EVAN GAPPELBERG INCREASES OWNERSHIP WITH OPEN MARKET PURCHASE OF 500,000 COMMON SHARES

Nextech3D.AI Corp.'s chief executive officer, Evan Gappelberg, has purchased an additional 500,000 common shares of the company through open market purchases at an average price of 12 cents per share or nine U.S. cents.

Following this acquisition, Mr. Gappelberg now beneficially owns or controls more than 30 million common shares of the company. This purchase was made for investment purposes and reflects the CEO's continued confidence in the company's AI-driven growth strategy and the accelerating enterprise adoption of its event technology platform.

Management commentary, "I am continuing to increase my ownership in Nextech3D.AI because I believe our current market valuation does not reflect the significant operational milestones we have achieved in early 2026," said Evan Gappelberg, chief executive officer of Nextech3D.AI.

"In my view, our stock is 'stupidly cheap' and represents a massive disconnect from our current fundamentals. We are seeing a high-conviction setup in the AI event software space, and I believe a rerating could happen as soon the market begins to price in our record 95-per-cent gross margins and 59-per-cent year-over-year revenue growth. With our unified AI event operating system gaining traction with Tier 1 clients, I see this as an asymmetric opportunity to build my position while the valuation remains at these levels."

Operational momentum

The company has reported a strong start to 2026, recently achieving profitability in its Krafty Labs division and securing 50 new customer contracts since January. The company's unified AI platform is increasingly being utilized by Fortune 1000 companies for registration, interactive mapping and AI-driven engagement tools. Management believes the shift toward high-margin SaaS (software-as-a-service) revenue and the implementation of a recent 20- to 30-per-cent price increase positions the company for sustained scalability within the $1.5-trillion global events industry.

The holdings of securities of the company by the acquirer are managed for investment purposes, and the acquirer and/or its joint actors could increase or decrease their respective investments in the company at any time, or continue to maintain their current investment position, depending on market conditions or any other relevant factor.
