HYDAWAY DIGITAL ENGAGES INVESTOR RELATIONS PROVIDERS AND REALITYCHEK REACHES MILESTONE TARGET

Hydaway Digital Settles Acquisition Milestones and Ties Up IR Firms as SaaS Pivot Awaits Commercial Proof

Executive Summary
  • Hydaway Digital Corp. issued 1,552,260 common shares to RealityChek upon the completion of the first and second data-labeling milestones under their January 2026 share purchase agreement.
  • The company simultaneously engaged two investor relations firms: Outside the Box Capital Inc. (OTBC) and Altura Media Co. Inc., paying $250,000 in upfront cash fees plus 100,000 stock options to OTBC.
  • The issued shares are free trading and not subject to resale restrictions under NI 45-106.
  • Historically, this follows a clear execution path: the company expanded its North Vancouver GPU facility in late 2025, pivoted to a multi-tenant SaaS model in March 2026, launched the DETECT AI verification tool, and integrated Cardlogx’s AI card detection in April 2026.
  • The June 5 announcement represents the financial settlement of the RealityChek acquisition and a standard visibility push for a micro-cap transitioning to a SaaS model.
Material Impact
  • The milestone share issuance was contractually obligated and fully anticipated based on the January/February 2026 agreements. It represents expected dilution rather than a new catalyst.
  • The engagement of IR providers is a routine administrative step for companies seeking to broaden shareholder bases and attract attention ahead of potential capital raises or commercial scaling.
  • No new revenue contracts, profitability metrics, or strategic partnerships were disclosed. The market already priced in the SaaS pivot and RealityChek integration through the February-March rally.
  • The news is incremental and administrative. It confirms execution on prior milestones but does not alter the fundamental commercial thesis or financial trajectory.
