Star Metro - Alset AI Enters into Definitive Agreement to Acquire Remaining Interest in Cedarcross Technologies (DBA Lyken.AI)

"Completing this investment into Lyken.AI will be a major milestone for Alset," said Adam Ingrao, CEO of Alset AI. "We will be positioned to help accelerate the commercial launch of Lyken.AI's PaaS strategy, deepen integration with our partners, and invest to help scale Lyken rapidly to meet the increasing demand for domestic AI compute capacity. This transaction supports our goal to monetize infrastructure through value-added services and strategic alliances."

Transaction Details
Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, Alset will issue 7,000,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (each, a "Consideration Share") to the remaining shareholder of Cedarcross Technologies in exchange for approximately an additional 25% of the issued and outstanding shares of Cedarcross Technologies at a deemed price of $0.10 per Consideration Share for total deemed consideration of $700,000 CAD (the "Purchase Price"). No finder's fee is payable in connection with the acquisition. The acquisition is an arm's length transaction. The Acquisition is subject to approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

This transaction follows Alset AI's initial acquisition of a majority interest in Cedarcross on February 26, 2025 and its subsequent rebranding to Lyken.AI to better reflect the Company's focused go-to-market compute strategy.

It is anticipated that Lyken will launch a new corporate website by the end of Q3 2025, designed to showcase its platform capabilities, ecosystem partnerships, and turnkey infrastructure solutions. The site will serve as a central hub for customers, partners, and investors seeking to engage with Lyken's end-to-end AI infrastructure offerings. With this revamped strategic focus, Lyken is well positioned to become a prominent boutique AI infrastructure platform, designed from inception to deliver margin-rich solutions, reduce time-to-deployment, and scale compute resources as demand accelerates.
