VERSES AI INC. ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF FIRST TRANCHE OF LIFE PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING

Verses AI Inc. has closed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of 5,807,700 units of the company at a price of 50 cents per listed issuer financing exemption unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,903,850.

Each LIFE unit will consist of one Class A subordinate voting share of the company and one-half of one share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one share at an exercise price of 70 cents per share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, for a period of 36 months from Nov. 8, 2024.

The LIFE offering has been structured to take advantage of the listed issuer financing exemption from prospectus requirements in Part 5A of National Instrument 45-106, whereby shares issued pursuant to the exemption are freely tradable listed equity securities not subject to any hold period (see below).

The LIFE offering has been conducted in all the provinces of Canada, except Quebec, under the exemption, for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,903,850. The LIFE offering was also conducted in the United States pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements under Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, and in those other jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States, provided it is understood that no prospectus filing or comparable obligation arises in such other jurisdiction. The LIFE units are not subject to resale restrictions pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws; however, the LIFE units (and underlying shares, warrants and warrant shares) offered and sold to persons in the United States will be considered restricted securities under the 1933 act and will contain a restrictive legend referencing the 1933 act.

In connection with the offering, the company: (i) paid to certain finders and advisers an aggregate cash commission of $103,675; and (ii) issued to certain finders and advisers an aggregate of 207,350 compensation warrants. Each compensation warrant will be exercisable into one equity unit at the offering price for a period of 36 months following the closing date.

The net proceeds of the LIFE offering will be used for general working capital purposes, to finance continuing operations, and to finance research and development, including the development of Genius, all as more particularly described in the offering document dated Nov. 8, 2024, that can be viewed under the company's profile at SEDAR+ and on the company's website.

In connection with the transaction, AGP Canada Investments ULC acted as exclusive financial adviser.
