Strategic Technical Milestones Achieved

Over the past week, the Company successfully completed a series of critical technical migrations and deployments designed to enhance platform stability and scalability:

The Krafty Labs acquisition brings with it a diversified list of blue-chip enterprise customers

TORONTO, ON AND NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 5, 2026 / Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQB:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), an AI-first technology company specializing in AI-powered live event solutions, 3D modeling, and spatial computing, today announced the successful closing of its previously announced acquisition of Krafty Labs, an experiential team-building platform serving large enterprise organizations. The acquisition was completed for $650,000 in cash with the CEO investing $321,917.

With the completion of this transaction, Nextech3D.ai believes it has built one of the industry’s most comprehensive end-to-end AI-powered platforms for live events and enterprise experiential engagement.

Creating a Unified, End-to-End AI-Powered Event Technology Ecosystem

The addition of Krafty Labs meaningfully expands Nextech3D.ai’s AI-powered event technology portfolio, enabling the Company to offer an integrated platform that spans the full AI-driven event lifecycle, including:

• AI-powered event registration and ticketing

• AI-powered badging and on-site badge printing

• AI-powered lead retrieval and exhibitor analytics

• AI-powered mobile event applications

• AI-powered interactive floor plans and spatial navigation

• AI-powered engagement tools, including AI matchmaking

• AI-powered enterprise experiential team-building programs

Together, these capabilities position Nextech3D.ai to serve AI-powered event organizers, exhibitors, sponsors, and enterprise customers through a single, unified platform.

Blue-Chip Customer Base, Proven Revenue Platform, and Expanding Experience Library

The Krafty Labs acquisition brings with it a diversified list of blue-chip enterprise customers, significantly expanding Nextech3D.ai’s customer footprint and cross-selling opportunities across its AI-powered live event and 3D model ecosystem.

Krafty Labs currently offers approximately 100 curated experiential events designed for enterprise-scale deployment and operates a revenue-generating AI-enabled experiential engagement platform that produced approximately $1.2 million in revenue during 2025 with a 73% gross margin or $876,000 in gross profits, demonstrating proven market demand and providing Nextech3D.ai with an immediately accretive operating business.

Accelerating Platform Expansion Through Automation

Following the acquisition, Nextech3D.ai expects to significantly accelerate the expansion of Krafty Labs’ experiential offerings, with management anticipating the rollout of approximately 100+ new experiences per quarter, representing a potential 400% expansion of the platform’s experiential catalog in 2026.

This anticipated growth is expected to be driven primarily by the automation of the creator and experience onboarding process, which historically has been a largely manual workflow. Nextech3D.ai plans to leverage its AI capabilities and platform infrastructure to streamline onboarding, standardize quality controls, and reduce time-to-market for new experiences.

Focus on Automation, AI Enhancements, and Custom Enterprise Experiences

Planned enhancements to the Krafty Labs platform will center on:

• Automating experience onboarding and deployment

• Enhancing AI-driven matching and personalization

• Improving scalability and operational efficiency

• Delivering custom-branded experiential programs for large corporate accounts

Management believes these enhancements will support higher customer lifetime value, increased subscription adoption, and expanded recurring revenue.

Retention of Key Leadership and Team

Nextech3D.ai has retained the entire Krafty Labs operating team, including the company’s founder, Chief Operating Officer, and Chief Technology Officer, who have joined Nextech3D.ai in senior leadership roles.

Management believes the retention of this experienced team will accelerate integration, innovation, and execution across Nextech3D.ai’s AI-powered live event and experiential engagement platform.

Expanding Recurring Revenue Through AI-Powered Subscription-Based Engagement

Krafty Labs has already begun rolling out a new annual AI-powered subscription model designed to support large enterprise organizations with thousands of employees distributed globally. These subscriptions provide ongoing access to curated experiential engagement and AI-powered team-building programs that extend beyond one-time AI-powered events.

Nextech3D.ai intends to accelerate the rollout of this subscription model by leveraging its enterprise relationships, AI-powered event infrastructure, 3D modeling capabilities and global sales capabilities.

Addressing a Large and Growing Market Opportunity

According to Grand View Research, the global live events market was valued at approximately $1.1 trillion in 2023 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 13% through 2030, driven by increasing demand for digital, hybrid, and AI-powered engagement solutions.

Nextech already owns 15million shares or about 40% of the 38 million shares outstanding in Arway Corporation (“Arway”) OTCQB: ARWYF / CSE: ARWY

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQX:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), Nextech an AI-first 3D modeling and event technology company, and Arway is pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement dated December 1, 2025 (the “Definitive Agreement“) setting forth the terms and conditions of their previously announced transaction pursuant to which Nextech proposes to acquire all of the common shares of Arway (“Arway Shares“) which it does not already own (the “Transaction“). The Transaction will allow Nextech to further consolidate its technology stack with Arway and Map Dynamics (“Map D“), creating a more unified and competitive offering for the global events industry while streamlining operations.

Strategic Rationale

Owned by Arway, Map D supports hundreds of events annually with interactive floor plans, exhibitor tools, ticketing, badge printing, mobile apps, and blockchain ticketing. Bringing Arway back in-house is expected to streamline operations, eliminate redundant overhead, and accelerate development across AI, AR, and navigation technologies.

Nextech currently owns ~40% of Arway, with management holding an additional ~20%, demonstrating strong alignment and long-term commitment.

The consolidation is expected to:

• Reduce costs through team and technology integration

• Accelerate product innovation by combining AI, AR navigation, and 3D tools into a single event platform

The unified suite will span event setup, AI matchmaking, AR/AI navigation, ticketing, payments, and blockchain capabilities-supporting Nextech’s strategy of growing recurring SaaS revenue.

About ARway

Arway, spun out from Nextech in 2022, provides no-code, no-hardware AR navigation. Following the Transaction, it will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary with its technology embedded directly into Map D.

CEO Comment

“This reacquisition streamlines Nextech3D.ai into a stronger, more unified company. Integrating Arway with Map D accelerates our vision for a full AI-powered event technology suite.”

Further Details of the Transaction

• 38,641,161 Arway shares currently outstanding

• 225,298,980 Nextech shares currently outstanding

• 19,866,921 Nextech shares issuable as consideration

• Deemed price of $0.083 per Arway share and $0.161 per Nextech share

The Exchange ratio is one (1) Arway share will be exchanged for approximately .514 of Nextech shares.

Pursuant to the Definitive Agreement, the Transaction will proceed by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, whereby Arway will amalgamate with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextech and shareholders of Arway will receive an aggregate of 19,866,921

Nextech Shares on a pro rata basis, calculated based upon their existing holdings of Arway (the “Exchange Ratio“).

There are currently an aggregate 38,641,161 Arway Shares [and no convertible securities] of Arway issued and outstanding. Accordingly, based on the Exchange Ratio and assuming no other share issuances by Arway, shareholders of Arway will receive approximately 0.514 Nextech Shares in exchange for each one Arway Share held.

The deemed price for each Arway Share to be acquired pursuant to the Transaction shall be C$0.083 resulting in an aggregate valuation of Arway of approximately $3,200,000 or such other price as permitted by applicable regulatory authorities, including the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE“). It is expected that following completion of the Transaction, the current holders of Arway Shares will hold approximately 8.1% of the outstanding Nextech Shares immediately following closing on a non-diluted basis, based on an aggregate of 225,298,980

Nextech Shares currently issued and outstanding.

There are not expected to be any changes to the management of either Nextech or Arway as a result of the Transaction. The Arway Shares will be delisted from the CSE upon completion of the Transaction. This is a related-party transaction under applicable securities regulations

Completion of the Transaction remains subject to the receipt of Arway shareholder approval, CSE approval, and customary closing conditions. A notice of meeting and circular with full details will be filed on SEDAR+ in due course. There can be no assurance that the Transaction will be completed as proposed, or at all.

Further details about the proposed Transaction will be provided in a disclosure document to be prepared and filed in connection therewith.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQX:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), an AI-first 3D modeling and event technology company, today announced major milestones across its unified event-tech platform, including accelerated integration of its newly acquired Eventdex registration system, expanded deployments of its AI matchmaking engine, and milestone production of 800 floor plans in 2025. Through its flagship Map D’s interactive floor plan management platform and Eventdex platforms, the company powers thousands of events annually, delivering interactive floor mapping, exhibitor management, registration, ticketing, mobile apps, AR navigation, and AI matchmaking.

• Connected mobile app data feeds without wifi

• Unified product bundle available to customers

“These achievements position Nextech3D.ai as one of the only companies offering a full, modern, end-to-end event technology suite,” said Evan Gappelberg, CEO.

AI Matchmaking Expansion and Algorithm Upgrades
AI matchmaking continues to be one of the Company’s most sought-after premium modules. Recent updates include the rollout of Preference Scoring v2, featuring:

• Enhanced ML attribute weighting

• Real-time clustering of attendee behavior and interests

• Improved exhibitor-buyer pairing accuracy (72% → 87%)

Financial implications of this milestone:

• Creates a scalable recurring revenue base from annual event renewals

• Drives high-margin SaaS revenue across mapping and exhibitor management

• Provides a direct pipeline for cross-selling Eventdex registration, ticketing, and AI matchmaking

• Strengthens customer stickiness and multi-year retention

“The production of 800 floor plans this year demonstrates the scale, demand, and operational efficiency of our event-technology platform,” said CEO Evan Gappelberg. “Every floor plan represents an entire event lifecycle where we can now sell multiple modules.”

Growing Momentum Heading Into 2026
Nextech3D.ai continues to demonstrate strong commercial traction:

• Sequential quarterly revenue growth of ~20% as reported on October 30th, 2025.

• Gross margins ~88% as reported on October 30th, 2025.

• Increased demand for multi-product bundles registration + mapping + mobile + AI matchmaking + ticketing.

• Expanding 2026 event pipeline across associations, trade shows, and corporate conferences

“Our team is executing at a very high level,” added Gappelberg. “With Eventdex integrated, AI matchmaking scaling, and blockchain ticketing advancing faster than expected, we believe Nextech3D.ai is entering a positive inflection point.”

A Unified Vision for 2026 and Beyond

• 3D & spatial computing

• Ticketing & registration

• Event mapping

• Blockchain
