Executive Summary

  • Constellation Capital Corp. entered into an amalgamation agreement with Active Witness Corp. to complete the business combination originally announced on Sept. 29, 2025.

  • Upon completion, Active Witness shareholders will own ~93.2% of the combined entity, while current Constellation shareholders will hold ~6.8%; two major holders (Vincorp Holdings Ltd. & Novas Capital Corp.) will control roughly 46.5% of the post‑transaction company.

  • Concurrent Private Placement (Active Witness):

  • Up to $3 million gross proceeds.
  • Shares priced at $0.10 × SER per share.
  • Net proceeds earmarked for business expansion and general working capital (subject to change).

  • 7,091,885 Constellation warrants (excluding finder‑related warrants).
  • Total deemed purchase price: $16,369,177 (warrants not valued for this calculation).

  • Trading Halt:

  • Trading of Constellation shares has been halted pending fulfillment of exchange conditions and will remain suspended until the exchange permits resumption.
