NEXTGEN DIGITAL PLATFORMS INC. ANNOUNCES NEW CEO, MATTHEW PRIEBE

Nextgen Digital Platforms Inc. has appointed Matthew Priebe as chief executive officer. Alexander Tjiang will step down as interim chief executive officer and will stay on as director, where he will continue to provide strategic guidance, oversight and leadership to the company.

Mr. Priebe brings a decade of experience in alternative investments, the exempt market and capital markets, having held both founding and leadership roles. Mr. Priebe founded a private-fund consulting firm and oversees an exempt market practice, serving family offices, high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients. In addition, Mr. Priebe is a partner at a Toronto-based real estate development firm. His capital-raising experience spans private credit, real estate, public markets and digital asset ventures. This experience has been supported by prior roles as a currency hedging strategist and as a wealth director at one of Canada's leading digital asset exchanges.

"Nextgen bridges the reliability of traditional finance with the limitless potential of digital assets. The team has developed an innovative solution that enables investors to earn returns on otherwise idle digital assets through its recently announced debenture program. I believe this initiative will drive shareholder value, alongside additional Web3 and cash-generative ventures that we plan to announce soon. I'm honoured to join this exceptional team, and, together, we're committed to scaling Nextgen, thoughtfully and relentlessly," said Mr. Priebe, newly appointed CEO of Nextgen.

Mr. Tjiang, outgoing interim CEO, commented: "It has been a pleasure to serve as interim CEO of Nextgen. As we begin an exciting new chapter, I remain committed to supporting the company as a board member. Matthew brings a unique blend of expertise across capital markets, private capital raising and digital assets -- making him exceptionally well suited for this role. I'm confident in his ability to deliver on our mission: to simplify and make Web3, innovative financial structures and digital assets exposure accessible to a broader audience."

In connection with the appointment of Mr. Priebe as CEO, the company has granted him an aggregate of 300,000 stock options to purchase 300,000 common shares. The options are exercisable for a period of five cents years from the date of grant at a price of 56 cents per common share. The options will vest on a quarterly basis over a period of 36 months from the date of the option grant.

In addition, the company granted 350,000 restricted share units of the company to Mr. Priebe. Each RSU represents the right to receive, once vested, one common share in the capital of the company. The RSUs will vest in six tranches, based on meeting certain milestone over 24 months following the date of grant. All 300,000 of the options, 350,000 of the RSUs, and the common shares underlying such options and RSUs are subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the date of issuance.
