Star Metro - Redwood AI Announces Closing of $3.5 Million Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2026 / Redwood AI Corp. (CSE:AIRX)(OTCQB:RDWCF)(Frankfurt:Y0N, WKN: A422EZ) ("Redwood" or the "Company"), an artificial intelligence (AI)-based software and analytics solutions provider for chemical and pharmaceutical development, is pleased to announce the closing of its previously announced private placement offering (the "Offering") with a single U.S. fundamental institutional investor of up to 1,663,000 special warrants of the Company ("Special Warrants") at a price of $2.11 per Special Warrant, for gross proceeds of up to $3.5 million.

Each Special Warrant shall be exercisable into one unit of the Company (the "Units") without any further action on the part of the holder and for no additional consideration. Each Unit will consist of one common share (each, a "Common Share") and one common share purchase warrant (each, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share (each, a "Warrant Share") at a price of $2.48 per Warrant Share for a period of 60 months following the closing of the Offering.

Maxim Group LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with the Offering.

The Company expects to use the net proceeds from the Offering to fund working capital and for general corporate purposes.

The securities issued pursuant to the Offering will be subject to applicable Canadian and U.S. resale restrictions.

The Company has filed with each of the securities regulatory authorities in the provinces of Canada a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus (the "Base Prospectus"). Following the issuance of a receipt for the final Base Prospectus ("Final Prospectus"), and as soon as practicable, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to file a prospectus supplement to the Final Prospectus (the "Prospectus Supplement"), qualifying the distribution of the Units issuable upon exercise of the Special Warrants.

Each Special Warrant will be automatically exercised, without the payment of any additional consideration, into one Unit on the date (the "Qualification Date") that is the earlier of: (i) four (4) months and a day following the closing of the Offering, and (ii) the date that the Prospectus Supplement is filed. However, if the Prospectus Supplement has not been filed on or before the date that is 90 days following the closing of the Offering, then each Special Warrant will be exercisable, at no additional consideration, for 1.10 Units (instead of one (1) Unit).

The securities offered have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act), and may not be offered or sold in the "United States" or to "U.S. Persons" (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable U.S. state securities laws or in compliance with applicable exemptions therefrom. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
