Star Metro - Vanta Announces Strategic Private Placement Financing to Advance Corporate Growth Initiatives

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (each, a "Share") and one transferable common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional Share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $3.00 per Warrant Share for a period of 24 months from the date of closing.

Closing of the Private Placement is anticipated to occur on or about March 15, 2026, and may be completed in one or more tranches, subject to compliance with the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement are intended to be allocated towards advancing the Company's business initiatives, the payment of outstanding payables and indebtedness, corporate awareness, and general working capital purposes. The securities issued under the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory hold period expiring four months and one day from the date of issuance.

Insiders may participate in the Private Placement, and such participation may constitute a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI61-101"). The Company intends to rely on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements provided under subsections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101 on the basis that participation in the Private Placement by insiders will not exceed 25% of the fair market value of the Company's market capitalization.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or under any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws.
