ImagineAR Provides Corporate Update on Debt Settlement
Cash-burning AR startup pivots to IP licensing after litigation loss and operational pause.

Executive Summary
- ImagineAR Inc. is settling approximately $173,578 in outstanding convertible debenture debt (including accrued interest) through a shares-for-debt transaction.
- The company will issue 34,715,582 common shares to the debenture holder at a deemed price of $0.005 per share.
- The Board determined the transaction aligns with the strategy to strengthen the balance sheet and preserve cash for working capital, pending Canadian Securities Exchange approval.
- This announcement is a direct follow-up to the May 15/16, 2026 releases detailing a $500,000 private placement and a $259,335 debt settlement.
Material Impact
- The issuance of 34.7 million shares at $0.005 represents significant dilution, further eroding the already negative book value per share and depressing the market price.
- Settling $173,578 in debt does not materially improve the company's liquidity position, given the $331,432 cash balance reported in Q1 2026 and $2.9M in accounts payable.
- The transaction underscores the company's reliance on equity issuance and debt-for-equity swaps to manage its balance sheet, indicating a severe cash crunch and lack of organic cash generation.
- The news is a continuation of the May financing announcements, meaning the market has already anticipated this level of dilution and capital raising.

Company Overview
- ImagineAR Inc. operates in the augmented reality and generative AI space, focusing on location-aware gameplay and cross-platform AR delivery.
- The company recently suspended active operations of its AR platform in April 2026 to preserve capital, shifting its focus to intellectual property expansion, licensing, and strategic partnerships.
- The company holds several U.S. patents, though a recent court ruling invalidated key patents in a litigation against Niantic. The company plans to appeal.
- The business model has effectively transitioned from an active AR platform operator to an IP licensing and development entity, though it currently generates negligible revenue.
