(MENAFN- Newsfile Corp) Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 8, 2025) - AIM6 Ventures Inc. (TSXV: AIMF.P) (" AIM6 " or the " Company ") and ElevateDesign Ventures Inc. (" Elevate ") are pleased to provide further details on their proposed qualifying transaction (the " Qualifying Transaction "), as such term is defined in Policy 2.4 - Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") Corporate Finance Manual. Elevate is pleased to provide an update on the significant steps forward in creating a scalable, profitable, and technology-enabled national facilities management platform with a strong operating history.

As previously announced on February 19 and July 7, 2025, the Company intends to complete a business combination with Elevate and its to-be-acquired operating subsidiaries, which will constitute an arm's length reverse takeover transaction of the Company.

Concurrently with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, Elevate intends to complete the acquisitions of Infinity Group Construction Inc. (" Infinity ") and First Choice Maintenance Inc. (" FCM "), as outlined below. The Company also intends to change its name to "Elevate Service Group Inc." (the " Resulting Issuer "). The Company has applied to be listed as a Tier 1 Industrial Issuer on the TSXV (as defined by the policies of the TSXV) under the ticker "SERV", positioning the Resulting Issuer as a leading, technology-driven consolidator in a multi-billion-dollar market with attractive aspects of reoccurring revenue, scale and cash flow generation.

As described below, Elevate expects to close its brokered private placement (the " Private Placement ") of approximately $8.0 million of subscription receipts (the " Subscription Receipts ") and enter into a senior secured credit facility (the " Credit Facility ") with a Schedule I Canadian bank for $10.0 million to fund the acquisitions of Infinity and FCM and to provide capital for future growth.

Closing of the Qualifying Transaction is expected to occur in October 2025 and will be subject to the receipt of all requisite regulatory approvals (including the approval of the TSXV), requisite shareholder approvals and the satisfaction of other customary conditions.

Transaction Highlights

• $30 million revenue for 2024 with over $3 million of operating income.
• $8 million brokered private placement at $1.00 per share.
• $10 million senior secured credit facility from a Schedule I Canadian bank.
• Tier 1 TSXV listing application.
• Proposed ticker "SERV".
• Targeted closing October 2025.

Transaction Background and Business History

Elevate was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the " OBCA ") in February 2024 to strategically consolidate and modernize the facility management and essential commercial services sectors, building a portfolio of operating businesses that deliver superior customer outcomes, drive operational efficiencies, enable technology adoption, and expand market reach.

This transaction builds on that foundation and represents the next phase of growth for Elevate, combining proven operators, strong earnings, and growth capital to drive expansion across Canada.

Elevate intends to deliver comprehensive and fully integrated facility services to clients across retail, food service, hospitality, healthcare, and commercial real estate. Built upon a foundation of stable recurring revenue with a scalable operating model, Elevate's strategy is to create value from both organic expansion and through the acquisition of profitable and complementary companies. The platform's focus on modernization, efficiency, and reoccurring services aligns with demand for defensive, cash-generating business models. By combining strong regional operators under one national platform, Elevate aims to modernize an industry with scale, technology integration, and customer-focused service.

"This transaction is about pairing earnings and reoccurring revenue with disciplined growth," said Paul Bissett, proposed Chief Executive Officer of the Resulting Issuer. "Infinity and FCM bring two decades of trusted service, national client relationships and consistent profitability that we intend to amplify through technology, growth capital and operational excellence."

"Elevate represents the type of enduring, cash-generating business our family office was designed to support" said Romeo Di Battista Jr., proposed Chairman of the Resulting Issuer. "We see a long runway of shareholder value creation through focused acquisitions and by supporting exceptional operators with institutional governance, patient capital and a long-term ownership mindset."

On February 14, 2025, Elevate entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Infinity and FCM as core platform operating companies (the " Infinity-FCM Transaction "). Founded in 2003, Infinity and FCM are national facility management businesses specializing in comprehensive facility management solutions for retailers, restaurants, and property managers. Primary services include plumbing, electrical, equipment repair, design-build renovations, recurring preventive maintenance and data-driven solutions. Infinity and FCM share common ownership and operating systems, and bring over 20 years as trusted partners focused on exceptional service, long-term client relationships, and tech-enabled solutions.

Infinity and FCM's combined operations generate approximately $30 million of annual revenue with consistent profitability and national blue-chip clients. The acquisition of Infinity and FCM provides Elevate with immediate scale, profitability and national reach, serving as a high-quality cornerstone for its consolidation strategy.

The aggregate purchase price of the Infinity-FCM Transaction is comprised of (a) $8,100,000 in cash which shall be paid on completion of the Infinity-FCM Transaction; (b) $6,350,000, subject to post-closing increases or decreases for certain indebtedness and determinations of working capital relative to target amounts specified in the acquisition agreement, to be satisfied by the issuance of an interest-bearing promissory note including the following terms and conditions: (i) a term of three years; (ii) interest accruing, not compounded, at a rate of 2% for the first year, 3% for the second year and 4% for the third year, and payable on maturity; and (iii) if the promissory note is not fully paid within three years, the interest rate shall automatically increase to 8% per annum beginning on the first day of the fourth year, and shall further increase to 10% per annum beginning on the first day of the fifth year and continuing until the promissory note is fully paid; and (c) the issuance of $4,000,000 of Resulting Issuer Shares (as defined below), which shall be issued at the same price per share as the Subscription Receipts issued as part of the Private Placement.

Concurrently with the completion of the Qualifying Transaction, Elevate expects to complete the acquisitions of Infinity and FCM, each of which will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Elevate.

The Credit Facility has an initial term of thirty-months.

Details of the Private Placement Financing

In connection with and as a condition to the Qualifying Transaction, Elevate intends to complete an equity financing through a Private Placement of approximately 8.0 million Subscription Receipts at a price of $1.00 per Subscription Receipt (the " Issue Price ") for gross proceeds of approximately $8.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement (as defined below), each Subscription Receipt shall automatically be exchanged, without payment of any additional consideration, for one (1) Elevate Share upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below), which Elevate Shares shall then be forthwith exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares pursuant to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

Elevate has engaged Beacon Securities Limited (" Beacon ") to serve as lead agent on a commercially reasonable best-efforts basis in connection with the Private Placement. The Subscription Receipts will be sold to "accredited investors" pursuant to exemptions from prospectus requirements under Canadian securities laws and/or in jurisdictions other than Canada that are mutually agreed to by Elevate and Beacon. The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to support the Infinity-FCM Transaction, for investments in technology, building and fleet, to support potential acquisitions, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Private Placement is expected to close on or about October 9, 2025.

The Company has granted Beacon and a syndicate of agents (collectively, the " Agents ") an option, exercisable in whole or in part by Beacon by giving notice to the Company at any time up to 48 hours prior to the closing of the Private Placement to sell up to an additional number of Subscription Receipts equal to 15% of the base Private Placement size at the Issue Price.

At closing of the Private Placement, the proceeds from the Private Placement, including the Agent's Fee (as defined herein) less certain expenses (collectively, the " Escrowed Funds ") shall be placed in escrow with a Canadian trust company (the " Subscription Receipt Agent "), and invested pursuant to the terms of a subscription receipt agreement (the " Subscription Receipt Agreement "), to be entered into among Elevate, the Company, Beacon and the Subscription Receipt Agent. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions for the release of the Escrowed Funds to be set forth in the Subscription Receipt Agreement (including confirmation from Elevate of the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Qualifying Transaction and receipt of all required stock exchange, regulatory and shareholder approvals for the Qualifying Transaction) (the " Escrow Release Conditions ") and prior to the deadline for their release stipulated in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, the Subscription Receipt Agent will release the Escrowed Funds, less the Agent's Fee and other expenses. In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied on or before the stipulated deadline, the gross proceeds will be returned to the holders of the Subscription Receipts and the Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled.

The Agents will be paid a cash fee (the " Agent's Fee ") of 7.0% of the gross proceeds of the Private Placement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent's Fee will be reduced to 2.5% for gross proceeds received by certain parties identified by Elevate (the " President's List "). The Agents will also be granted a number of compensation options (the " Compensation Options ") equal to 7.0% of the number of Subscription Receipts issued to investors in the Private Placement (reduced to 2.5% for President's List subscribers). Each Compensation Option will be exercisable for one share of the Resulting Issuer (subject to any necessary adjustment) at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months following satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions.
