Under the terms of the Agreement, it is currently anticipated that the Transaction will be effected by way of a three cornered amalgamation, share exchange, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other similar form of transaction or a series of transactions that have a similar effect and as acceptable to the parties. The final structure of the Transaction is subject to receipts by the parties of tax, corporate, and securities law advice.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will effect a stock split or consolidation (the “Adjustment“) of its issued and outstanding common shares (“Company Shares“) prior to the completion of the Transaction (the “Closing“) into a number of post-adjustment shares (“Adjusted Shares“) that, when multiplied by the Issue Price (as defined below) will be equal to $2,250,000.
The Agreement includes a number of conditions to the Closing, including, but not limited to, the negotiation of a definitive agreement in respect of the Transaction, a reconstitution of the Company’s board of directors and management such that they are comprised of Adnimation’s nominees, a change in the name of the Company to a name requested by Adnimation (the “Name Change“), required shareholder approvals including the approval of the shareholders of Adnimation, the completion of the Adjustment, approvals of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the Transaction, the completion of the Adnimation Note Financing (as defined below), the completion of the Going Public Financing (as defined below), that the Company will, subject to certain limited ejections, have no outstanding liabilities, and other closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Transaction.

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.
