QUEBEC, QC / ACCESS Newswire / August 26, 2025 / NuRAN Wireless Inc.

Further to the Company's news release dated July 18, 2025, the Company is negotiating with its current debt holders and with new potential institutional investors and lenders to raise additional operating funds to potentially restructure or replace much of its outstanding current debt instruments with better terms and provide the Company with additional working capital. The Company is pursuing two main tracks broadly to include either 1) replacing the existing debt with longer term, non-convertible or hybrid instruments or 2) a debt for equity swap which would replace debt with equity on the Company's balance sheet.
The Company's negotiations with the new potential institutional lenders and investors are ongoing and include governmental agencies that require sufficient time to complete their process. This first option might also include other private lenders and investors who know the Company well and are working in parallel.
Current debt holders are an integral part of the process and terms of potential repayment, conversion and write-off, or a combination of these, is being discussed. The second option includes a potential restructuring of most of their outstanding current debt instruments with significantly better terms which to allow the Company to reduce their interest obligations and clean up its balance sheet.
Both proposals would include additional tranches of the Private Placement to raise cash and achieve a more streamlined capital structure suited to future fund-raising and value creation. The Company decided to close this Private Placement at this time to ensure that it has sufficient working capital for the duration of the discussions. Any elements of the proposals that require shareholder approval will be included in the Company's information circular for its the annual general and special shareholders meeting to be held on September 30, 2025, which will be mailed in the coming days. The Company will provide an update if and when terms have been settled.
