The Court approved a stalking horse subscription agreement on April 10, 2026 from Pateno Payments Inc.

Further details regarding the Stalking Horse Bid are provided on the Monitor's website at the address set out below.

The SISP is intended to solicit interest in, and opportunities for, a sale of, or investment in, all or part of XTM's assets and business operations (the "Opportunity"). The Opportunity may include one or more of:

• a restructuring or recapitalization of the business as a going concern;
• an investment in the Company or its operations; or
• a sale of all, substantially all or certain of XTM's assets and business operations.
