The Options vest immediately and the RSUs vest 12 months from the date of the grant. The Options may be exercised at a price of $0.10 per Option for a period of five years from the date of grant. The common shares underlying the RSUs and Options are subject to a four-month and a day hold period in accordance with the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”).

Some of the Options and RSUs were granted to John Ballow, Valisha Graves & Richard Greco who were brought on as Strategic Advisors to assist the Company with strategy and business development.

• John Ballow is rejoining the team, having been the original founder, investor, and CEO of CapitalCube before it was acquired and reformed into AnalytixInsight in July 2013.
  Natalie Hirsch, Interim CEO, stated: “As the original innovator behind CapitalCube, John has always had a passion for fundamental analysis and research with a focus on generating efficiency across traditional investment analysis. John’s deep knowledge of the product and his extensive network, formed over 40 years in the business, will be invaluable as we expand CapitalCube and pursue new distribution channels and strategic partnerships.”
• Valisha Graves has joined as a Strategic & Enterprise Sales Advisor, working alongside John Ballow to approach prospective enterprise clients.
  Hirsch added: “We’re thrilled to welcome Valisha Graves to the team as an Advisor. With her extensive expertise, including leadership roles at J.P. Morgan and Morgan Stanley, Valisha brings a wealth of experience in driving strategic growth and building strong client relationships. Her leadership will be instrumental in scaling our enterprise initiatives and expanding our market presence. We’re excited to see the impact she will bring!”
• Richard Greco rejoins as a Strategic Advisor, having previously served on the AnalytixInsight board from 2014 to 2016, where he was instrumental in establishing the Company’s operations with MarketWall in Italy.
  Hirsch concluded: “We’re excited to welcome Richard Greco back to the team. With his deep understanding of the Italian fintech market and a vast network spanning the US and Europe, Richard will be key as we identify our next steps in Italy and work to unlock shareholder value. Welcome back, Richard!”

This strengthened advisory team reflects the Company's commitment to enhance and monetize our CapitalCube product and explore opportunities to unlock the value of MarketWall for the Company’s shareholders.

The Company also announces that it has agreed to settle a total of C$117,500.00 of accrued directors’ and officers’ fees owed to certain directors and officers of the Company. The Company will settle the accrued fees by issuing a total of 11,750,000 common shares of the Company at a price of C$0.01 per share to these individuals (the “Security Based Compensation”). The Security Based Compensation is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval. The common shares issued pursuant to the Security Based Compensation will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period from the date of issuance.

The Security Based Compensation with each of these individuals is exempt from the minority approval and formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 pursuant to subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the debt, nor the fair market value of the shares to be issued in settlement of the debt, exceeds 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.
