(NEX: TTD.H) ("Tinkerine" or the "Company") is pleased to report continued advancement of the proposed Reverse Takeover (the "Proposed Transaction") with Fotonara Inc. ("Fotonara") as announced on April 8, 2026.  Tinkerine has successfully executed a mutual release resolving a historical legal dispute with a third party. Concurrently, the Company has converted 98% of short-term debt into a promissory note structure and eliminated a legacy loan. These achievements represent meaningful progress toward the debt settlement condition precedent and further de-risk the staged regulatory pathway, including the pending application for full revocation of the Cease Trade Order by the British Columbia Securities Commission.  The collaborative process with Fotonara remains on track. Mutual due diligence is progressing, and the parties are preparing for the negotiation and execution of a binding Definitive Agreement. These steps, together with the previously announced bridge loan intended for regulatory remediation, position the Resulting Issuer (proposed name: Fotonara Inc.) to resume trading and continue Fotonara’s high-growth operations in sovereign real estate technology upon successful closing.  Fotonara will be presenting at the TakeStock Calgary Investor Forum on June 3, 2026, at the Calgary Petroleum Club.
