Filing Type: Form 8-K (Current Report)
Date of Report: June 2, 2025
Reporting Period: Event date of June 2, 2025 (Effective date of agreements: May 29, 2025)

Key Financial Metrics
This filing is a current report regarding a material definitive agreement and does not contain periodic financial statements. Consequently, the filing text does not provide clear values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity.
Transaction-Specific Financial Terms:
- Conditional Payment: The Assignee agreed to pay the Company CAD $200,000 within 30 days of execution, contingent upon the execution of a power purchase contract for 100MW or more of electricity within 12 months.
- Legal Fees: The Company agreed to pay certain legal fees of the Assignee incurred with respect to the Captus Agreement by June 30, 2025.
Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The primary material change is the termination of the Company's involvement in the Captus acquisition:
- Assignment of Rights: The Company and its subsidiary (the Purchaser) assigned all rights, obligations, and interests in the Captus Agreement to a new entity, 2703444 Alberta Ltd. (the "Assignee").
- Release of Liabilities: The Company and Purchaser received a mutual release and discharge of all obligations and liabilities under the Captus Agreement as of the effective date.
- Equity Revocation: 3,906,605 "Inducement Shares" previously issued to the Captus Management Team were revoked. The restricted stock grant agreements were terminated, and the management team retains no further rights or claims to Company equity regarding this transaction.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The Company has exited the transaction, transferring all benefits and liabilities to the Assignee. The Company is no longer a party to the acquisition of the Captus Entities.
Contingencies: A potential cash inflow of CAD $200,000 exists, but it is strictly conditional on the Assignee securing a specific power purchase contract within 12 months.
Risks: The filing notes that the description of the agreements is qualified by reference to the full text of the exhibits. The revocation of shares eliminates the equity incentive previously tied to the closing of the Captus deal.
Important Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the identity of the "Assignee" (2703444 Alberta Ltd.) and its relationship to the original vendors or the Company.
- Confirm the status of the CAD $200,000 conditional payment and the likelihood of the 100MW power purchase contract being executed.
- Review the full text of Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to understand the specific terms of the release and any remaining obligations.
- Confirm that the 3,906,605 Inducement Shares have been formally cancelled and are no longer outstanding.
