The Albany Gazette - BrandPilot AI Announces Closing of Previously Announced Debt Settlement

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company issued an aggregate of 12,831,725 units (each, a "Unit") at a deemed issue price of $0.02 per Unit in full and final satisfaction of $256,634.50 of indebtedness owing to certain creditors. Of these Units, 9,581,725 were issued in satisfaction of $191,634.50 of accounts payable and cash advances, and 3,250,000 were issued in satisfaction of $65,000 of indebtedness owing under a convertible debenture that matured on August 23, 2026, consisting of $50,000 of unpaid principal and $15,000 of accrued and unpaid interest. The aggregate indebtedness settled and the number of Units issued were slightly lower than previously disclosed following final reconciliation of the indebtedness immediately prior to closing.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one additional Common Share at a price of $0.05 at any time on or before the date that is two years following the date of issuance, subject to acceleration. If the Common Shares trade at or above a volume-weighted average price of $0.15 for a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to a date that is 30 days following notice to the holders of the Warrants.

"Completing this debt settlement is a positive step for BrandPilot as we continue strengthening our financial position and positioning the Company for its next phase of growth," said Brandon Mina, Chief Executive Officer of BrandPilot. "By reducing outstanding liabilities while preserving cash, we can remain focused on our commercial priorities, supporting our customers and advancing our technology. We appreciate the continued support of our creditors and their willingness to participate in the Company's future."

Pursuant to the Debt Settlement, the Company issued an aggregate of 146,850 Units to 2674779 Ontario Limited, an entity controlled by Brian Presement, a director of the Company, in satisfaction of $2,937 of indebtedness (the "Related Party Issuance"). 2674779 Ontario Limited is a "related party" of the Company within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). As a result, the Debt Settlement constitutes a "related party transaction" within the meaning of MI 61-101. The Company relied on the exemptions from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements contained in Sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, in connection with the Related Party Issuance, as neither the fair market value of the Units issued in connection with the Related Party Issuance, nor the indebtedness settled through such issuance, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization, as determined in accordance with MI 61-101.

The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days before the expected closing date of the Debt Settlement because the details of the Related Party Issuance were not finalized until shortly before closing and the Company wished to complete the Debt Settlement on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

All securities issued pursuant to the Debt Settlement are subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws and the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE").
