New financing structure delivers scalability, nationwide reach and powerful incentives for sales organizations and EPC partners through the TAG GRID; Secures initial $40 million commitment to finance projects generated through this program

Scottsdale, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - October 9, 2025) - The Awareness Group (OTC Pink: TAAG) (TAG), $TAAG, an emerging national player in solar energy services and financing solutions and creator of the TAG GRID, today introduced its new PPA Dealer Program financed through a third party financial services firm. This is a nationwide TAG GRID initiative created for solar sales organizations and EPC partners. This new no credit score PPA program is complementing TAG's previously introduced no credit score PPA program for homeowners, making it easier than ever to close deals while giving TAG GRID partners access to industry-leading compensation and weekly payouts. As part of the deal with the new financials services partner, TAG will work with TAG GRID members to transfer its existing 642 PPA projects, valued at approximately $50 million to the new program.

Pablo Diaz, CEO and Founder of The Awareness Group, commented:

"The new PPA structure is built to supercharge sales partners and EPCs nationwide. By removing FICO requirements and streamlining payouts to TAG GRID members, we're giving our partners a program that makes it easier to close more deals, grow their businesses and scale across the country. The initial $40 million commitment from our partner is designed to finance these projects through the end of 2025, providing our sales and EPC members with confidence that they will get paid on time. We are currently working on a larger financing commitment from our partner for 2026 projects. From fast onboarding to weekly commissions, everything is designed with the TAG GRID partner's success in mind."

"At the same time, this represents a strategic shift for TAG. We are expanding beyond our asset-ownership model to a structure that allows TAG to earn funding fees on every project. This unlocks true nationwide scalability, aligns incentives for growth and strengthens TAG's position in the clean energy ecosystem as we continue building the TAG GRID. Importantly, with the administration's decision to defund certain green energy initiatives, we recognized the need to add a scalable, market-driven framework that gives us control over our growth trajectory and insulates TAG from shifting policy priorities."
