RAILTOWN AI TECHNOLOGIES EXECUTES AMALGAMATION AGREEMENT WITH AI PARTNERSHIPS CORP. AND ANNOUNCES MOU WITH Digital
Further to Railtown AI Technologies Inc.'s previously announced memorandum of understanding with AI Partnerships Corp. (AIP), it has entered into an amalgamation agreement with AIP, pursuant to which Railtown will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of AIP in exchange for common shares of Railtown by way of a three-cornered amalgamation and AIP will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Railtown. This milestone marks a major step in Railtown's vision to create a first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI) affiliate marketplace, leveraging its core technologies and agentic frameworks to connect Canada's AI ecosystem to secure, sovereign computer infrastructure.
As explained in more detail below, highlights of the transaction are:
- Forty million shares issued at a deemed price of 50 cents per share (representing 17.8 per cent of the fully diluted posttransaction shares outstanding); such shares restricted to staged release over 18 months or 36 months (in the case of AIP's founders).
- An additional 10 million performance shares at a deemed price of 50 cents per share (representing 4.5 per cent of the fully diluted posttransaction shares outstanding) issued into escrow to be released upon recurring revenue milestones as delineated below.
Strengthening the ecosystem through Digital partnership
Following completion of the transaction, Railtown is also pleased to announce that it will have the benefit of a memorandum of understanding entered into by AIP and Digital. Digital connects technology builders and buyers to accelerate the adoption and commercialization of Canadian solutions. key aspects of this partnership include:
- Bidirectional referrals: connecting Digital members with AIP affiliates and vice versa to enhance collaboration;
- Joint initiatives: co-hosting events, webinars and ideation sessions to drive AI thought leadership;
- Ecosystem engagement: inviting members, clients and personnel from both organizations to participate in working groups, roundtables and knowledge-sharing events.
"I expect that partnering with Digital will empower Railtown and AIP affiliates to tap into a world-class network of innovators and ecosystem leaders," said Tom Corr, chief executive officer of AIP. "By integrating marketplace connections, compute infrastructure and ecosystem engagement, we're fuelling collaboration and growth across Canada's AI sector."
"Access to compute and customers are among the top barriers for Canadian AI innovators," said Serena Nguyen, chief development officer of Digital, one of Canada's global innovation clusters. "The collaboration between AIP and Railtown unlocks an exciting combination of networks and AI infrastructure. This is how we unlock Canada's AI commercialization potential and lead on the global stage."
Digital is a national non-profit that grows Canadian companies by accelerating the development, adoption and commercialization of Canadian digital technologies. Through a unique combination of co-investment, cross-industry collaboration, IP creation and digital talent development, Digital has built one of the strongest digital innovation ecosystems in Canada.
First-of-its-kind AI affiliate marketplace
Railtown's acquisition of AIP, combined with AIP's strategic partnership with Digital, underscores Railtown's vision to create a first-of-its-kind AI affiliate marketplace. This platform is expected to leverage AIP's existing partnership network by connecting AIP affiliates to Railtown's agentic frameworks, sovereign compute resources, investment opportunities and ecosystem support. By looking to position itself at the heart of Canada's AI innovation ecosystem, Railtown believes it is accelerating adoption, commercialization and growth for Canadian AI companies.
"I believe the acquisition of AIP will amplify Railtown's ability to connect Canadian AI innovators with secure, sovereign compute infrastructure, driving scalable growth," said Cory Brandolini, chief executive officer of Railtown.
"In my view, the combination of Railtown with AIP represents an opportunity for AIP to leverage the Railtown application development and agentic product offerings by AIP's affiliate network and their end-users, while at the same time growing the AIP affiliate network and the AI product marketplace," stated Dr. Tom Corr, chief executive officer of AIP.
