Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 18, 2026) - Restart Life Sciences Corp. (CSE: HEAL) (FSE: HN30) (OTC Pink: NMLSF) ("Restart Life" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Holy Crap Foods Inc., is preparing to begin harnessing predictive AI to further its e-commerce consumer and wholesale sales platform. The initiative is engineered to leverage readily available predictive consumer behavior models to optimize, monetize, and scale the brand's direct-to-consumer and business-to-business reach.

The integration of our AI initiative is being constructed in tandem with a brand-new, consumer-facing digital experience aimed at maximizing conversion, retention, and digital engagement. The platform's initial rollout is planned to launch shortly, leveraging additional AI models as new thresholds are achieved. The technology roadmap will leverage known customer AI modeling hubs such as OpenAI and Claude.ai, with customer service automation leveraging ChatGPT functionality, and Klyavio AI for our Email and CRM programs.

By embedding AI functionality into its technology stack, customer acquisition strategy and sales environments, the Company stands to gain significant operational advantages over the traditional marketing tools currently inherited from the Holy Crap acquisition. Further benefits of utilizing AI across the Company's sales verticals include:

• Personalized Shopping Customer Journeys: Dynamically rendering website content, product bundles, and messaging in real time to match the unique intent and wellness profile of individual site visitors.
• Predictive Demand & Inventory Forecasting: Automating inventory replenishment cycles by factoring in historical purchasing velocities, localized demographic trends, and seasonality, thereby dramatically minimizing overhead waste.
• Automated Customer Care and Conversion Funnels: Integrating natural language AI agents to instantly resolve consumer inquiries, lower shopping cart abandonment, and nurture recurring subscription models around the clock.
• Algorithmic Ad Optimization: Auto-generating and micro-targeting creative marketing assets to significantly lower customer acquisition costs (CAC) while scaling total return on ad spend (ROAS).
• Understand Evolving Purchasing Drivers: Uncover behavioral insights regarding why and when consumers purchase premium functional foods, allowing for real-time adjustments to product positioning.

By utilizing plug-and-play AI models, the Company is leveraging technologies that can be used for future brand and product roll outs, shortening product launch timelines and minimizing technology spend in future brands under the corporate umbrella. The leveraged AI platforms will continuously ingest digital touchpoints to map predictive consumer behavior patterns.

"We are incredibly excited to utilize the powerful sales and behavioral AI tools available to us, and the competitive edge it delivers," said Steve Loutskou, CEO of Restart Life Sciences Corp. "Having pioneered large-scale technology frameworks in the past that processed millions of data points, I know firsthand how deep consumer data can provide a massive advantage. As we push the Holy Crap brand into competitive US digital platforms and scale our footprint internationally through 2027, this new technology stack will give us the high-level infrastructure required to optimize our e-commerce funnels and drive sustainable revenue. Beyond our current footprint, this tech gives Restart Life an unbelievably powerful, plug-and-play blueprint to scale any new brand we bring into the e-commerce landscape. We sincerely thank our shareholders as we remain focused on sustainable growth through profitable revenue generation."
