Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – June 21, 2021) – Capricorn Business Acquisitions Inc. (TSXV: CAK.H) (the “Company” or “Capricorn“) is pleased to announce certain updates in connection with its previously announced qualifying transaction through a proposed arrangement with Canada Computational Unlimited Inc. doing business as CCU.ai (“CCU.ai“), a bitcoin mining center with renewable energy located in the Province of Québec, Canada.

On May 25, 2021, Capricorn and CCU.ai entered into an arrangement agreement (the “Agreement“) outlining the principal terms and conditions which will result in a reverse takeover of Capricorn by CCU.ai (the “Transaction“). Capricorn is a Capital Pool Company currently trading on the NEX board of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV” or the “Exchange“) and intends for the Transaction to constitute its Qualifying Transaction, as defined in the policies of the TSXV (the “Policies“). Pursuant to the Agreement, Capricorn will acquire CCU.ai by way of a three corner amalgamation carried out through a CCU.ai plan of arrangement, pursuant to which CCU.ai will be acquired by Capricorn. Upon completion of the Transaction, the resulting issuer (the “Resulting Issuer“) will carry out the business of CCU.ai.

Since the announcement of the Agreement, trading in the common shares of Capricorn (“Capricorn Shares“) remains halted until, at a minimum, Capricorn completes certain regulatory filings in connection with the Transaction with the TSXV and the TSXV has completed certain matters it considers necessary or advisable. It is expected that trading in the Capricorn Shares will not resume prior to the closing of the Transaction.

Completion of Concurrent Financing

On June 18, 2021, CCU.ai completed its previously announced non-brokered private placement (the “Concurrent Financing“) by way of the issuance of subscription receipts (“Subscription Receipts“) at a price of $5.30 per Subscription Receipt, raising gross proceeds of $4,319,902. Such proceeds thus exceeded the minimum amount of proceeds which had been set at $3,450,000. In light of the size of the Concurrent Financing, it is now expected that, following the closing of the Transaction in each case on a non-diluted basis:

the former shareholders of CCU.ai will hold approximately 52,124,830 common shares of the Resulting Issuer (the “Resulting Issuer Shares“), including as participants in the Concurrent Financing and representing approximately 81.82% of all issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares;
the former shareholders of Capricorn will hold approximately 2,500,075 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 3.92% of all issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares;
approximately 8,645,447 Resulting Issuer Shares will be issued as a result of the Concurrent Financing and the participants in the Concurrent Financing (excluding existing shareholders of CCU.ai) will hold approximately 8,039,204 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 12.62% of all issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares; and
the recipients of finder’s fees (as described below) will hold approximately 1,041,200 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 1.63% of all issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares.

The proceeds of the Concurrent Financing have been placed into escrow pending closing of the Transaction. Upon satisfaction of specified escrow release conditions, which include, among other things, the completion or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction, each Subscription Receipt will automatically convert into one Class B common share of CCU.ai (a “CCU.ai Share“) (which, upon the closing of the Transaction, will convert into 10.607 Resulting Issuer Shares, at a deemed price per Resulting Issuer Share of $0.50) and one-half of one CCU.ai Share purchase warrant with each whole warrant entitling the holder thereof to acquire one CCU.ai Share for a period of thirty-six months from the date of issuance, subject to accelerated time of expiry, at an exercise price of $7.96 per CCU.ai Share (which will convert into 10.607 warrants to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares at a price of $0.75 per Resulting Issuer Share following the completion of the Transaction).

Investment in CCU.ai by True Global Ventures

As part of the Concurrent Financing, True Global Ventures 4 Plus Fund Pte Ltd (“TGV 4 Plus“), a Singapore-based technology fund, subscribed to 582,076 Subscription Receipts for an amount of $3,085,001. Following the closing of the Transaction, it is expected that TGV 4 Plus will hold approximately 6,170,002 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing 9.69% of all issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (13.86% assuming that TGV 4 Plus exercises in full its right to convert the warrants it subscribed as part of the Concurrent Financing to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares).

TGV 4 Plus is a global technology equity fund that invests in serial entrepreneurs in over 20 cities. Founded by a distributed group of serial entrepreneurs over these cities, TGV 4 Plus has a network of investors that are angel investors, investors, professionals and family offices that help accelerate its portfolio companies globally. TGV 4 Plus is specialized in six areas: bringing in commercial relationships (customers and partners), internationalizing the company, recruiting in general and especially of sales, engineers and developers, promoting the investments to gain exposure, help refinance the company with introductions of traditional venture capital, loans and private equity firms, and help acquiring companies as well as exiting the company.

Change in Exchange Ratio for CCU.ai Shares

Capricorn and CCU.ai intend to enter into an amending agreement to the Agreement in order to adjust the Exchange Ratio. As a result of this adjustment, pursuant to the Transaction: (i) holders of issued and outstanding CCU.ai Shares will receive 10.607 Resulting Issuer Shares for each CCU.ai Share (the “Exchange Ratio“) held by them; and (ii) all options and warrants convertible into CCU.ai Shares (including the warrants issued in connection with the Concurrent Financing) shall be exchanged, based on the Exchange Ratio, for similar securities to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares on substantially similar terms and conditions.

Board of Directors and Management of the Resulting Issuer

Prior to completion of the Transaction, and subject to approval by the TSXV and the filing of all required materials, CCU.ai and Capricorn will reconstitute the board of the directors of Capricorn with five nominees from CCU.ai and one nominee from Capricorn. As previously announced, it is expected that Dominique Payette, Frederick T. Pye, Yvan Routhier, Romain Nouzareth and Mathieu Nouzareth will act as directors of the Resulting Issuer.

The Company is pleased to announce that Frank Di Tomaso is expected to complete the Resulting Issuer’s board of directors and to serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee and Kyle Appleby is expected to serve as the Resulting Issuer’s chief financial officer and corporate secretary.

Since its creation, CCU.ai operates a high-density computation center built for high-grade cryptocurrency mining, AI data processing and fintech infrastructure located in the city of Joliette in the Province of Québec. In 2018, CCU.ai contracted with Hydro-Joliette to purchase up to 20 MW of hydro-electrical power to be used for crypto mining. 5 MW are currently used by CCU.ai to produce the equivalent of around 100 PH/s of Bitcoin mining power (hashrate) and 6 GH/s of Ethereum mining power. CCU.ai has mined 421 Bitcoin since its creation. CCU.ai has built the capacity to use an additional 2.5 MW of power and is ready to host new mining rigs for cryptocurrency.

The capacity to use the remaining 12.5 MW is set to be built in the coming months. CCU.ai is led and managed by technology entrepreneurs, electricity and ventilation experts and network specialists. Since its inception, CCU.ai has pursued a vision of environmental stewardship and increased performance throughout the digital assets mining process.

As fintech continues to reshape the global financial landscape, today’s briefing highlights pivotal developments, strategic expansions, and innovative launches across the industry. This op-ed explores the latest advancements with commentary on their potential impacts and challenges.

Finastra Data Breach: A Wake-Up Call for Fintech Security

Source: KrebsOnSecurity

The cybersecurity landscape is buzzing after Finastra, one of the largest financial technology providers globally, confirmed an investigation into a potential data breach. Reports suggest unauthorized access to its systems, raising concerns about data security across its client base, which includes thousands of banks and financial institutions worldwide.

Implications and Challenges

While the details of the breach remain sparse, this incident underscores a glaring vulnerability in the fintech sector—cybersecurity. As financial services increasingly rely on interconnected ecosystems, breaches like these threaten not only individual institutions but also the trust customers place in fintech platforms.

The key takeaway for the fintech industry is clear: proactive cybersecurity strategies must go beyond compliance. Real-time threat detection, robust encryption standards, and regular audits are no longer optional but essential for maintaining operational integrity.

Future Considerations

This breach could trigger a domino effect, prompting regulators to tighten security standards and requiring fintech companies to double down on investments in data protection. Startups and mid-tier players, often lacking extensive cybersecurity budgets, may face significant pressure to keep pace.

PayPal Resurrects Money Pooling Feature

In a bid to stay ahead of the competition, PayPal is reintroducing its Money Pooling feature, a popular tool that was discontinued in 2021. The feature allows users to pool funds collectively, catering to families, small businesses, and social groups.

Strategic Revival

This move reflects PayPal’s commitment to customer-centric innovation. By reinstating a feature beloved by its user base, the company seeks to reclaim market share lost to emerging competitors offering similar functionalities.

Broader Industry Impacts

Money pooling represents a broader trend in fintech—customized solutions that cater to niche needs. This reintroduction may inspire competitors like Venmo and CashApp to refine their collaborative payment offerings.

While this move strengthens PayPal’s ecosystem, its success will depend on seamless integration with existing services and robust fraud prevention mechanisms to avoid abuse of the feature.

Challenges on the Horizon

While Mexico offers immense opportunities, regulatory complexities and market competition from local players like Clip and Konfío pose significant challenges. Santander will need to blend its global expertise with local adaptability to succeed in this dynamic market.

The U.S. fintech sector might witness an infusion of optimism as speculation about a second Trump presidency gains momentum. The Trump-era policies of deregulation and venture capital encouragement are remembered as catalysts for unprecedented fintech growth during his first term.

While it remains uncertain how regulatory landscapes will shift, the possibility of a more relaxed approach toward fintech compliance could rejuvenate funding inflows.
