TORONTO, ON \/ ACCESS Newswire \/ December 23, 2025 \/ <\/strong>Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR,OTC:NEXCF)(OTCQX:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), an AI-first event technology and digital engagement company, is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on its previously announced acquisition of Krafty Labs<\/strong>, a revenue generating AI-driven event engagement and experiential technology company serving global enterprise customers.<\/p>\n

Krafty Labs Acquisition Update<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Company is pleased to confirm that the due diligence process has been successfully completed<\/strong>, and the acquisition of Krafty Labs is scheduled to close on January 2, 2026<\/strong>, subject to customary closing conditions including CSE approval.<\/p>\n

Krafty Labs brings a highly attractive blue-chip customer base, along with approximately $1.2 million in year-to-date 2025 revenue<\/strong> and gross margins of 72%<\/strong>. Management believes this acquisition meaningfully enhances Nextech3D.ai\u2019s AI-first event platform and expands its reach into higher-value enterprise and association customers.<\/p>\n

CEO Convertible Note Investment Demonstrates Strong Alignment<\/strong><\/p>\n

In connection with the Company\u2019s continued execution and growth strategy, Evan Gappelberg, Chief Executive Officer of Nextech3D.ai<\/strong>, has committed to invest $321,917 directly into the Company through an 18-month convertible note<\/strong> bearing 12% annual interest<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Term:<\/strong> 18 months<\/p>\n

Warrant Terms:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Exercise Price:<\/strong> $0.165 per share<\/p>\n

Mr. Gappelberg will continue to be the Company\u2019s largest shareholder<\/strong>, currently owning 32,757,017 common shares<\/strong>, further reinforcing strong alignment between management and shareholders.<\/p>\n

The transaction constitutes a related party transaction<\/strong> under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 \u2013 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions<\/strong>. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements<\/strong> of MI 61-101 on the basis that the transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company\u2019s market capitalization<\/strong>. The transaction is subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Management believes this insider investment reflects confidence in Nextech3D.ai\u2019s strategy, execution, and long-term growth prospects.<\/p>\n

Strengthening an AI-First Event Platform<\/strong><\/p>\n

The combination of Krafty Labs\u2019 enterprise-grade engagement capabilities with Nextech3D.ai\u2019s existing event technology stack is expected to drive increased average contract values, deeper customer relationships, and enhanced monetization opportunities across in-person, virtual, and hybrid events.<\/p>\n

Evan Gappelberg, CEO of <\/strong><\/strong>Nextech3D.ai<\/strong> comments <\/strong>\u2018We believe the acquisition of Krafty Labs, combined with my personal investment in the Company, represents a strong vote of confidence in Nextech3D.ai\u2019s direction and execution,\u2019 He continues \u2018With due diligence complete and a closing date set, we are focused on integrating Krafty Labs and accelerating growth while continuing to build long-term shareholder value.\u2019<\/p>\n
