NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2026
NOTE 1 - Business Description and Going Concern
Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. (“Sigma”), the legal acquiror of NextTrip Holdings, Inc., was initially incorporated as Messidor Limited in Nevada on December 23, 1985, and changed its name to Framewaves Inc. in 2001. On September 27, 2010, the name was changed to Sigma Labs, Inc. On May 17, 2022, Sigma Labs, Inc. began doing business as Sigma Additive Solutions, and on August 9, 2022, changed its name to Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.
On March 11, 2024, Sigma filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which, effective as of 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on March 13, 2024, among other things, Sigma’s corporate name was changed from Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. to “NextTrip, Inc.”
The Company’s corporate office is located at 1560 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway, Suite 400, Sunrise Florida 33323. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, NextTrip Holdings Inc. incorporated on October 22, 2015, Extraordinary Vacations USA, Inc., incorporated on June 24, 2002, Five Star Alliance, LLC, organized on March 9, 2018, and TA Pipeline, LLC, organized on July 1, 2021.
Prior
to the NextPlay Exchange Agreement, as described below, NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NTH”) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of
NextTrip Group, LLC (“NTG”), which in turn, was a wholly-owned subsidiary of NextPlay Technologies, Inc. (“NextPlay”).
All of the business operations of NTG were conducted through its subsidiaries. On January 25, 2023, NextPlay and NTG entered into an
Amended and Restated Separation Agreement, Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, and Exchange Agreement (the “NextPlay Exchange
Agreement”), whereby NextPlay transferred its interest in the travel business to NTG. Pursuant to the NextPlay Exchange Agreement,
NextPlay exchanged Membership Units of NTG for Preferred Units of NTG, with a value of $ per unit. Prior to the
exchange for Preferred Units, NTG had a payable due to NextPlay of $, representing cash advances and payment of expenses by
NextPlay on behalf of NTG, while NextPlay had obligations to provide ongoing support to NTH. Such liability was settled by the issuance
of the Preferred Units and the waiver of all of NextPlay’s ongoing support obligations except for a $
The Company provides travel technology solutions with sales originating in the United States, with a primary emphasis on hotels, air, and all-inclusive travel packages. Our proprietary booking engine, branded as NextTrip 2.0, provides travel distributors access to a sizeable inventory.
The
Company owns
Reverse Acquisition
On October 12, 2023, the Company (then known as Sigma) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) with NTH, NTG, and William Kerby (the “NextTrip Representative”). Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the parties agreed that NTG would sell and transfer to the Company all of the issued and outstanding shares of NTH in exchange for restricted shares of Company common stock (the “Closing Shares”), issuable at closing, and the right to receive up to an additional restricted shares of Company common stock upon satisfaction of certain milestones set forth in the Exchange Agreement (the “Contingent Shares,” and together with the Closing Shares, the “Restricted Shares”), which Restricted Shares are issuable to the members of NTG, on a pro rata basis, under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, subject to certain closing conditions (the “NextTrip Acquisition”). Upon the closing of the NextTrip Acquisition on December 29, 2023, NTH became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
| 7 |
The Contingent Shares, together with the Closing Shares, will not exceed shares of Company common stock, or approximately % of the issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock immediately prior to the closing. At closing, it was determined that the NextTrip Acquisition would likely result in a change of control, with the members of NTG receiving an aggregate number of shares that exceeds the number of shares held by the legacy shareholders of Sigma, which change in control occurred upon the issuance of certain of the Contingent Shares on March 26, 2025. As a result, the NextTrip Acquisition is accounted for as a reverse acquisition of NTH by the Company, whereby the Company is treated as the legal acquirer and NTH is treated as the accounting acquirer. As a result, the historical financial information for the periods prior to closing of the NextTrip Acquisition presented is that of NTH.
In accordance with ASC 805-40-45-1, the consolidated financial statements prepared following a reverse acquisition are issued under the name of the legal parent (NextTrip, Inc., f/k/a Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.) but described in the notes to the financial statements as a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (NTH), with one adjustment, which is to retroactively adjust the accounting acquirer’s legal capital to reflect the legal capital of the accounting acquiree. That adjustment is required to reflect the capital of the legal parent.
Under ASC 805-40-45-2, the consolidated financial statements represent the continuation of the legal subsidiary except for the capital structure, as follows:
| (a) | The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts; | |
| (b) | The assets and liabilities of the legal parent recognized and measured in accordance with the guidance in this topic applicable to business combinations (ASC 805); | |
| (c) | The retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary before the business combination; | |
| (d) | The amount required to be recognized as issued equity interests in the consolidated financial statements determined by adding the issued equity interest of the legal subsidiary outstanding immediately before the business combination to the fair value of the legal parent determined in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805 applicable to business combinations. However, the equity structure reflects the equity structure of the legal parent, including the equity interests the legal parent issued to affect the combination. Accordingly, the equity structure of the legal subsidiary is restated using the exchange ratio established in the acquisition agreement to reflect the number of shares of the legal parent issued in the reverse acquisition. |
The assets and liabilities of Sigma were recognized at fair value pursuant to ASC 805.
Going
Concern - As of May 31, 2026, and February 28, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $
In light of the foregoing, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of the filing of this Report.

NOTE 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The financial statements have been prepared on a consolidated basis with those of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at May 31, 2026 and 2025 and for the periods then ended have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Company suggests these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026. The results of operations for the period ended May 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Reclassification
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the net earnings (loss) or financial position.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - The Company applies ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” This guidance defines fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measures. The three levels are defined as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | |
| ● | Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. | |
| ● | Level 3 - inputs to valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair measurement. |
The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for the cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities each qualify as financial instruments and are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and their current market rate of interest.
Put Option
The Company does not use derivative instruments for hedging of market risk or for trading or speculative purposes. The derivative liability at May 31, 2026 results from an option (the “Put Option”), which is embedded in the restricted common shares issued by the Company pursuant to the acquisition of TA Pipeline LLC (“TA”).
On August 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “TA MIPA”) with TA and the members of TA (the “TA Members”), pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of TA from the TA Members (the “TA Acquisition”), resulting in TA becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The TA Acquisition closed on August 6, 2025 (the ‘Closing Date”).
Pursuant
to the TA MIPA, as consideration for the TA Acquisition, at closing, the Company (i) paid the TA Members an aggregate of $
| 9 |
In the event that the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock is less than $ (the “Base Price”) during the three month period starting on the earlier of (1) the date on which the restricted shares of the Company’s common stock becomes eligible for public resale, and (2) the date that is twelve months after the Closing Date, each TA Member shall have the limited, one time option to exercise one of the following rights as to some or all of their outstanding TA Closing Shares and TA Milestone Shares (together the “TA Acquisition Shares”), by delivering notice to the Company: (i) the right to require the Company to repurchase from the TA Member all or any portion of their outstanding TA Acquisition Shares at the Base Price; (ii) the right to require the Company to issue to such TA Member that number of additional shares of Company common stock (the “Top Up Shares”) as is necessary to make the aggregate value of the number of TA Acquisition Shares (based on the Fair Market Value) equal to the original aggregate value of the TA Acquisition Shares (based on the Base Price) for the number of TA Acquisition Shares specified in the exercise notice; and (iii) the right to require the Company to pay to such TA Member, in cash, an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of TA Acquisition Shares specified in the exercise notice and (y) the positive difference, if any, between the Base Price and the Fair Market Value.
Pursuant to ASC 815, management evaluated the Put Option embedded in the common shares and determined that such Put Option required bifurcation and will be accounted for as a derivative liability. The Put Option applicable to the TA Acquisition Shares will be marked to market at each reporting period.
Classification of TA Pipeline Closing Shares
Although the TA Closing Shares are legally common stock, they are classified as mezzanine equity on the consolidated balance sheet due to contingent redemption rights resulting from derivative liability provisions that could require cash or share settlement outside the Company’s control.
Accordingly, these shares are presented outside of permanent stockholders’ equity and below total liabilities. The Company will continue to classify the shares as mezzanine equity until such time as the redemption provisions lapse or are removed, or until settlement occurs.
Initial and Subsequent Measurement
The carrying amount of instruments recorded within mezzanine equity are not adjusted below initial measurement. The TA Acquisition Shares were initially recorded at $ per share, which was the closing prices of our stock on the acquisition date. The Put Option has an exercise price of $ per share. As such, the TA Acquisition Shares will not be subsequently remeasured in future reporting periods
TA Milestone Payment
In
addition to the TA Closing Consideration, and as further consideration for the TA Acquisition,
The fair values of the Put Option and the TA Milestone Payment measured on a recurring basis are as follows:

Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd. Private Placement
Classification of Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company classifies its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity in accordance with ASC 480-10-S99-3A because the redemption obligation, while at a fixed date, is not unconditional from the Company’s perspective. The holder retains the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock at any time prior to the mandatory redemption date and the right to elect a one-time extension of the mandatory redemption date. As a result, whether redemption occurs (in cash) or is settled through conversion (in shares), and the timing of any such redemption, is outside the Company’s sole control. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is presented between liabilities and stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet.
Initial Measurement
Proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and detachable Investor Warrant are allocated to the two freestanding instruments using the relative fair value method pursuant to ASC 470-20-25-2. The portion of proceeds allocated to the Investor Warrant is credited to additional paid-in capital. The portion of proceeds allocated to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, net of debt issuance costs and original issue discount associated with issuance fee shares issued for no consideration, represents the initial carrying value of the mezzanine preferred.
Subsequent Measurement
The mezzanine carrying value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is accreted to its redemption value over the period from issuance to the mandatory redemption date using the effective interest method. Accretion and stated dividends accrued on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are recognized as charges to retained earnings (deemed dividends to the holder) and reduce net income available to common shareholders for purposes of basic and diluted earnings per share calculations pursuant to ASC 260-10-S99. Accreted amounts and dividends are not recognized as interest expense in the income statement.
Warrants
The Company evaluates each freestanding warrant issued in connection with the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock for liability versus equity classification under ASC 815-40 at the issuance date and at each subsequent reporting date. The Investor Warrant and the Placement Agent Warrants are each classified as equity instruments at issuance based on the warrants’ indexation to the Company’s own stock and settlement provisions (including the absence of any cash-settled Black-Scholes payout obligation upon a Fundamental Transaction).
Investments in Equity Method Investees
The Company holds investments in certain entities that are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, as well as investments that are accounted for under the fair value method pursuant to ASC 321, “Investments - Equity Securities.” Under the equity method, investments in entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control, are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the investees’ earnings or losses and other comprehensive income.
| 11 |
The Company determines the existence of significant influence based on various factors, including representation on the investees’ board of directors, participation in policy-making processes, and material intercompany transactions.
The Company’s equity method investments are evaluated periodically for impairment by assessing whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. When such indicators exist, the Company performs an impairment test and recognizes an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value.
Distributions received from equity method investees that exceed cumulative earnings recognized by the Company are considered a return of investment and are recorded as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment.
Adjustments resulting from changes in the Company’s ownership interest in equity method investees that do not result in a loss of significant influence are accounted for prospectively.
Basis Difference
In accordance with ASC 323, “Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” the Company records a basis difference when the carrying value of its equity method investment differs from its share of the investee’s fair value of net assets at the acquisition date. This basis difference is allocated to the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities based on their fair values. The amortization of any basis difference related to depreciable assets, such as property, plant, and equipment, is recognized in the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses. Any basis difference related to non-depreciable assets, including goodwill, is generally not amortized, but is subject to impairment testing as necessary.
The Company assesses the impact of any basis differences on its earnings and the carrying value of its equity method investments. If a basis difference is determined to exist, the appropriate adjustments are made to reflect the amortization of such differences in the consolidated financial statements.
Investments in Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Value
In accordance with ASC 321-10-35-2, the Company holds certain investments in equity securities in which the Company does not have significant influence or control, and for which fair value is not readily determinable. These investments are primarily accounted for at cost, less any impairment. The carrying amount is periodically evaluated for impairment, and if necessary, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations. These investments are not adjusted for unrealized gains or losses unless an impairment is identified.
Equity in Earnings of Equity Method Investees
The Company’s share of earnings or losses from equity method investees is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations within “Equity in share of loss of equity method investees,” net of any related income taxes.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimated by management. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are impairment of long-lived assets, values of stock compensation awards and stock equivalents granted as offering costs, and allowance for bad debts.
Revenue Recognition – The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from sales of our software and related hardware suite under perpetual licenses and from providing engineering services under contracts. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC Topic No. 606. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that superseded nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under prior GAAP and replaced it with a principles-based approach for determining revenue recognition. The core principle of the standard is the recognition of revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, we determine revenue recognition by: (1) identifying the contract, or contracts, with our customer; (2) identifying the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determining the transaction price; (4) allocating the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognizing revenue when, or as, we satisfy performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services.
The Company recognizes revenue when the customer has purchased the product, the occurrence of the earlier of date of travel and the date of cancellation has expired, as satisfaction of the performance obligation, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue for customer travel packages purchased directly from the Company are recorded gross (the amount paid to the Company by the customer is shown as revenue and the cost of providing the respective travel package is recorded to cost of revenues).
The Company generates revenues from sales directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels of tours and activities at destinations throughout the world.
The Company controls the specified travel product before it is transferred to the customer and is therefore a principal, based on but not limited to, the following:
| ● | The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide such travel product. |
| 13 |
| ● | The Company has inventory risk before the specified travel product has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to a customer. | |
| ● | The Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified travel product. |
Payments for tours or activities received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue at the earlier of the date of travel or the last date of cancellation (i.e., the customer’s refund privileges lapse).
Segment Reporting - In response to recent acquisitions and expanded business activities, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer, requested changes in the information that he regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, we have updated our reporting and beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, we reported our financial performance based on our new segments, “Travel” and “Media”. A detailed description of our operating segments as of May 31, 2026 can be found in NOTE 15 to the Financial Statements and the Overview section of Item 2 of this Quarterly Report, entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. Prior periods have been recast to conform to these newly identified segments.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments require enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included in the measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of other segment items, the title and position of the CODM, and application of the segment disclosure requirements to interim periods. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for its fiscal year beginning March 1, 2025. The Company began reporting under its Travel and Media reportable segments, and reflecting the interim disclosure provisions of ASU 2023-07, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026 (the quarterly period ended November 30, 2025); prior periods have been recast to conform to the current segment presentation. Adoption affected disclosures only and did not affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis effective for its fiscal year beginning March 1, 2025 (fiscal year ended February 28, 2026). The amendments affect annual income tax disclosures only and do not establish new interim disclosure requirements; adoption did not affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, or its interim income tax disclosures.
NOTE 3 - Investment in Equity Securities
Investment in Blue Fysh Holdings Inc.
On February 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Blue Fysh Holdings Inc. (“Blue Fysh”), under which the Company acquired a % ownership interest in Blue Fysh. As part of the transaction, the Company issued shares of Series N Preferred at an issuance price of $ per share, totaling $, in exchange for restricted shares of Blue Fysh common stock. The transaction closed on February 28, 2025.
The Company’s investment in Blue Fysh is accounted for under the cost method, as the Company does not have significant influence over Blue Fysh. No board appointments are contemplated as part of this transaction; however, the Company has the right to appoint a representative to the Blue Fysh Advisory Committee, which will allow the Company to receive financial updates as needed and to be informed of financial events that could significantly impact the Company’s ownership position.
Since the Company’s ownership interest does not meet the criteria for significant influence pursuant to ASC 323, this investment is classified as an equity security without a readily determinable fair value and is initially recorded at cost. The Company will assess the investment for impairment in future periods and recognize any impairment losses as necessary.

The contingent consideration issued as purchase consideration provides for additional distributions to the FSA Unitholders, the amount of which is dependent on the acquired business’ achievement of certain milestones. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date (April 9, 2025) based on the probability and timing of achieving the respective milestones.
| 14 |
Upon
completion of the acquisition of the remaining
The Company has completed the analysis to assign fair values to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The table below sets forth the consideration paid and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the acquisition:
| Consideration paid | ||||
| Cash | $ | |||
| Series O Preferred stock | ||||

| Fair value of Initial Purchase | ||||
| Total consideration | $ | |||

| Total liabilities | $ | |||
| Total net assets | $ |
The fair value of the working capital items, including accounts receivable, other receivables, trade payables and deferred revenue, approximates their respective carrying values at the date in which control was obtained. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company has adopted ASU 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which created an exception to the recognition and measurement principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations, for the Company’s contract assets and liabilities, including deferred revenue, essentially resulting in the carryover of the historical amounts determined in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, rather than fair value.
The fair value of the acquired tradename and acquired technology was determined using the relief from royalty method, which utilized projected financial information. The goodwill recognized in the acquisition primarily represents synergies with the existing operations of the Company, and the value of yet-to-be-acquired/developed customers, technology, assembled workforce, and any other assets.
NOTE 5 – JOURNY.tv Asset Acquisition
On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “JOURNY.tv Purchase Agreement”) with Ovation LLC (“Ovation”), pursuant to which the Company purchased assets, including without limitation trademarks, domains, apps and certain agreements, and assumed certain liabilities related to Ovation’s JOURNY.tv business (the “JOURNY.tv Acquisition”). The JOURNY.tv Acquisition closed on April 1, 2025.

Pursuant
to the JOURNY.tv Purchase Agreement, as consideration for the JOURNY.tv Acquisition, the Company paid Ovation $
In
connection with the JOURNY.tv Acquisition, on April 1, 2025, the Company and Ovation also entered into a License Agreement (the “License
Agreement”), pursuant to which Ovation granted the Company the non-exclusive right, throughout the territories and for the term
set forth therein, to exhibit, promote, market, advertise, publicize and/or otherwise exploit the programs listed in the License Agreement
in the media of (i) FAST via the JOURNY.tv Channel and (ii) Video On Demand via the JOURNY.tv Channel. Pursuant to the License Agreement,
Ovation shall not license any unaffiliated third party the right to exhibit certain of the programs subject to the License Agreement
and shall not use certain of the programs subject to the License Agreement on its owned or operating streaming platforms (subject to
certain exceptions). As consideration for the rights granted under the License Agreement, the Company agreed to pay Ovation an aggregate
non-refundable license fee of $
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition because while inputs were acquired (in the form of trademarks, distribution agreements, content licenses, and service agreements), there is not a continuation of revenues before and after the transaction. That is, due to the significant rebranding and redevelopment of the inputs acquired, the JOURNY.tv assets are not producing revenue post-closing of the transaction. Additionally, an organized workforce with the necessary skills and experience to create outputs was not included in the transaction. As such, the transaction does not meet the definition of a business and is considered an asset acquisition.

the acquisition date, the fair value of the intangible assets acquired was $
NOTE 6 – Acquisition of TA Pipeline LLC
On August 6, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), the Company entered into the TA MIPA with TA and the TA Members, pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of TA from the TA Members (the “TA Acquisition”), resulting in TA becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

In addition to the foregoing, in the event that the Fair Market Value of the Company’s common stock is less than $ (the “Base Price”) during the applicable Exercise Period, each TA Member shall have the limited, one time option (the “Put Option”), to exercise one of the following rights as to some or all of their outstanding TA Acquisition Shares by delivering notice to the Company: (i) the right to require the Company to repurchase from the TA Member all or any portion of their outstanding TA Acquisition Shares at the Base Price; (ii) the right to require the Company to issue to such TA Member that number of additional shares of Company common stock (the “Top Up Shares”) as is necessary to make the aggregate value of the number of TA Acquisition Shares specified in the notice (based on the Fair Market Value) equal to the original aggregate value of the number of TA Acquisition Shares specified in the notice (based on the Base Price); and (iii) the right to require the Company to pay to such TA Member, in cash, an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of TA Acquisition Shares specified in the notice and (y) the positive difference, if any, between the Base Price and the Fair Market Value. For purpose of the foregoing rights, the “Exercise Period” means the three month period commencing upon the earlier of: (i) with respect to the TA Closing Shares, (x) the date that the TA Closing Shares first become eligible for public resale and (y) the first anniversary of the closing date; and (ii) with respect to the TA Milestone Shares, (x) the date that the TA Milestone Shares first become eligible for public resale and (y) the first anniversary of the closing date. Additionally, for purpose of the foregoing rights, “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s common stock for the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the notice date. During the Exercise Period, each of the TA Members shall be prohibited from engaging in certain transactions in the Company’s stock, as more particularly set forth in the TA MIPA. The fair value of the Put Option was determined using the Black Scholes Pricing Model and will be marked to market at each reporting date.
In
accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price has been assigned to the assets acquired, and the liabilities
assumed, based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred $

The fair value of the working capital items, including cash and deferred merchant bookings, approximates their respective carrying values at the date on which control was obtained.
The fair value of the acquired tradename, acquired supplier agreements, and acquired travel agency agreements were determined using the relief from royalty method, with or without method and multi-period excess earnings method, respectively, which utilized projected financial information. The goodwill recognized in the acquisition primarily represents synergies with the existing operations of the Company, and the value of yet-to-be-acquired/developed customers, technology, assembled workforce, and any other assets.

NOTE 9 – Goodwill
Reverse Acquisition of Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc.
As discussed in Note 1 – Business Description and Going Concern, the legal acquisition of NTH by the Company on December 29, 2023 was determined to be a reverse acquisition, with NTH as the accounting acquirer, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. Under this method of accounting, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values at the date of consummation of the transaction.
Pursuant
to ASC 350-20, the Company assigned its goodwill to reporting units and is required to test each reporting unit’s goodwill for
impairment at least on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than
not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The goodwill resulting from the reverse acquisition is primarily
attributable to NTH’s objective to obtain access to public markets to provide funding wherewithal to fund business growth. NTH’s
benefit in paying for these synergies in the reverse acquisition transaction was to avoid the time and expense of organizing and executing
an Initial Public Offering transaction. In the reverse acquisition, $

Mezzanine Equity
TA Pipeline LLC Acquisition
In connection with the acquisition of TA Pipeline LLC on August 6, 2025, the Company issued TA Closing Shares. Although the shares are legally common stock, they are classified as mezzanine (temporary) equity on the consolidated balance sheet due to contingent redemption rights resulting from derivative liability provisions that could require cash or share settlement outside the Company’s control.
Accordingly, these shares are presented outside of permanent stockholders’ equity and below total liabilities. The Company will continue to classify the shares as mezzanine equity until such time as the redemption provisions lapse or are removed, or until settlement occurs.
The
carrying amount of instruments recorded within mezzanine equity are not adjusted below initial measurement. The TA Acquisition Shares

Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd. Private Placement
On
May 6, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd. (“Helena”)
pursuant to which the Company issued shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”),
consisting of shares issued in exchange for cash proceeds of $
Classification of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
The Company classifies its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity because the redemption obligation, while at a fixed date, is not unconditional from the Company’s perspective. Helena retains the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock at any time prior to the mandatory redemption date and the right to elect a one-time extension of the mandatory redemption date. As a result, whether redemption occurs (in cash) or is settled through conversion (in shares), and the timing of any such redemption, is outside the Company’s sole control. As such, the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is presented between liabilities and stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet.
Initial Measurement
Proceeds from the issuance of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and detachable Investor Warrant are allocated to the two freestanding instruments using the relative fair value method pursuant to ASC 470-20-25-2. The portion of proceeds allocated to the Investor Warrant is credited to additional paid-in capital. The portion of proceeds allocated to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, net of debt issuance costs and original issue discount associated with issuance fee shares issued for no consideration, represents the initial carrying value of the mezzanine preferred.
Subsequent Measurement
The mezzanine carrying value of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is accreted to its redemption value over the period from issuance to the mandatory redemption date using the effective interest method. Accretion and stated dividends accrued on the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are recognized as charges to retained earnings (deemed dividends to the holder) and reduce net income available to common shareholders for purposes of earnings per share calculations pursuant to ASC 260-10-S99. Accreted amounts and dividends are not recognized as interest expense in the income statement.
| 24 |
Common Stock
The Company has shares of common stock authorized for issuance pursuant to its amended and restated articles of incorporation, as amended (“Charter”). At May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, there were (excluding mezzanine shares classified outside of permanent equity) and shares of common stock, par value $ per share, issued and outstanding, respectively. All shares of common stock have equal voting rights, are fully-paid and non-assessable, and are entitled to one vote per share.
During the first quarter of 2025, the Company issued shares of common stock in connection with various investor relations consulting contracts, shares of common stock to the holders of shares of the Company’s Series L and Series M Preferred stock as dividends, shares of common stock to Ovation as partial consideration pursuant to the April 1, 2025 JOURNY.tv Asset Purchase Agreement; shares of common stock to ITA as a finder’s fee related to the FSA acquisition; shares of common stock pursuant to a consulting contract related to the development and launch of a dedicated beauty and wellness FAST channel; and shares of common stock to the members of NTG pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, constituting Contingent Shares issuable to the members of NTG upon the achievement of all business milestones.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company issued shares of common stock in connection with various investor relations consulting contracts, shares of common stock in connection with strategic marketing and business development contracts, shares of common stock as consideration pursuant to third party contractor services, shares of common stock to a vendor as settlement for outstanding invoices, shares of common stock issued as stock-based compensation to an employee, shares issued as commission payments to travel agents, and shares issued to investors in private placements.
Preferred Stock
Under our Charter, our board of directors has the authority, without further action by stockholders, to designate one or more series of preferred stock and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights granted to or imposed upon the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, liquidation preference and sinking fund terms, any or all of which may be preferential to or greater than the rights of the common stock.
Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of the common stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock.
The Company is authorized to issue shares of preferred stock, par value $ per share.
An aggregate of (excluding mezzanine shares of Series B Preferred classified outside of permanent equity) and shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding at May 31, 2026 and February 28, 2026, respectively, as further discussed below.
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 9, 2026, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, designating shares of the Company’s preferred stock as Series A Preferred Stock, par value $ per share (the “Series A Preferred”).
The terms and conditions set forth in the Series A Certificate of Designation are summarized below:
Ranking. The Series A Preferred rank pari passu to the Company’s common stock.
Dividends. Holders of Series A Preferred will be entitled to dividends, on an as-converted basis, equal to dividends actually paid, if any, on shares of Company common stock.
| 25 |
Voting.

Stock Appreciation Rights
The purposes of the 2020 Stock Appreciation Rights Plan (the “2020 SAR Plan”) are to: (i) enable the Company to attract and retain the types of employees, consultants, and directors (collectively, “Service Providers”) who will contribute to the Company’s long-range success; (ii) provide incentives that align the interests of Service Providers with those of the stockholders of the Company; and (iii) promote the success of the Company’s business. The 2020 SAR Plan provides for incentive awards that are only in the form of stock appreciation rights payable in cash (“SARs”). No shares of common stock are reserved or will be issued pursuant to the 2020 SAR Plan.
SARs may be granted to any Service Provider. A SAR is the right to receive an amount equal to the Spread with respect to a share of the Company’s common stock (a “Share”) upon the exercise of the SAR. The “Spread” is the difference between the exercise price per share specified in a SAR agreement on the date of grant and the fair market value per share on the date of exercise of the SAR. The exercise price per share will not be less than 100% of the fair market value of a Share on the date of grant of the SAR. The administrator of the 2020 SAR Plan will have the authority to, among other things, prescribe the terms and conditions of each SAR, including, without limitation, the exercise price and vesting provisions, and to specify the provisions of the SAR Agreement relating to such grant.
On March 26, 2025, under the terms of the 2020 SAR Plan, all outstanding unvested SARs became immediately vested and exercisable upon the change in control effected by the issuance of Contingent Shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement entered into in connection with the NextTrip Acquisition.
The Company did not grant any SARs during the three months ended May 31, 2026 or May 31, 2025.

The Company recognizes compensation expense and a corresponding liability for the fair value of the SARs over the vesting period for each SAR award. The SARs are revalued at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” and any changes in fair value are reflected in the Statement of Operations as of the applicable reporting date.

NOTE 15 – Segment Information
ASC
Topic 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about
In response to acquisitions and expanded business activities, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, our CODM requested changes in the information that he regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, we have updated our reporting and beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, we report our financial performance based on our new segments: “Travel” and “Media”. Our Travel segment provides travelers with a full range of travel services through its NXT2.0 booking engine, which offers extensive inventory and a platform for curating personalized experiences and efficient trip planning and booking. In addition, Five Star Alliance provides luxury and cruise offerings, and TA Pipeline provides a group-travel agency platform for conferences, conventions, weddings, and affinity groups. Our Media segment consists of JOURNY.tv, (including GoUSA TV) a Connected TV Channel broadcast as Free Ad Supported Streaming TV (“FAST”) and Advertising Video on Demand (“AVOD”) that specializes in travel, adventure, and culture-focused content, and Travel Magazine, an online travel magazine that provides articles, tips, guides and inspiration for travelers. We leverage our media brands—TravelMagazine.com and JOURNY.tv—as strategic tools to generate travel bookings by integrating content, marketing, and booking technology as well as to generate advertising revenues for third-party content. Additional information regarding our operating segments can be found in the overview section of Item 2 of this Quarterly Report, entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” Prior periods disclosed below have been recast to conform to these newly identified segments.
Our primary operating metric is Operating Income (Loss). Operating Income (Loss) for our Travel and Media segments includes direct expenses of the segments as well as allocations of certain expenses, primarily salaries and benefits, third party contractors, sales and marketing, and technology We base the allocations primarily on transaction volumes and other usage metrics. We do not allocate shared corporate expenses such as accounting, human resources, certain information technology and legal to our reportable segments. We include these expenses in Corporate. Our allocation methodology will be periodically evaluated and may change as the segments evolve.
Our CODM currently uses Operating Income (Loss) to assess performance in the monthly financial review process. Because our segments have been newly formed, the financial reporting framework continues to be under development and in the future will be used to assess performance and allocate resources for the segments in the annual budget and quarterly forecasting processes. The CODM will consider budget-to-actual variances on a monthly basis using Operating Income (Loss) when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The CODM also anticipates using Operating Income (Loss) to assess the performance and compensation of certain employees.
| 31 |
Corporate includes unallocated corporate functions including finance and administration, technology, and corporate development. In addition, we record amortization of intangible assets and any related impairment, investor relations, stock-based compensation expense, legal and audit, directors’ compensation and other items excluded from segment operating performance in Corporate. Such amounts are detailed in our segment reconciliation below.
The following tables present our segment information for the three months ended May 31, 2026. As a significant portion of our property and equipment is not allocated to our operating segments and depreciation and amortization is not included in our segment measure, we do not report the assets by segment as it would not be meaningful. We do not regularly provide such information to our chief operating decision maker.
All of our revenues are attributed to customers located in the United States; therefore, no revenues are reported from foreign geographic areas.

PayDlay has been commercially launched. |
The Contingent Shares, together with the shares of our common stock issued at the closing, was not to exceed 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, or approximately 90.2% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to closing.
The Exchange Agreement provided that William Kerby, the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of NTH, was appointed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Donald P. Monaco was appointed as a director of the Company as of the closing of the NextTrip Acquisition. Additionally, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the NTH Representative (Mr. Kerby) shall be entitled to designate a replacement for one additional director of the Company upon achievement of each of the milestones under the Exchange Agreement (the “Board Appointment Rights”).
In connection with the NextTrip Acquisition, the Company and Nasdaq determined that the issuance of Contingent Shares upon achievement of any one of the Milestone Events would result in a change in control of the Company under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5110(a), the Company was required to submit an initial listing application with Nasdaq and to obtain Nasdaq approval of the initial listing application prior to the issuance of the Contingent Shares.
| 36 |
On March 25, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had approved the Company’s initial listing application in connection with the issuance of the Contingent Shares. On March 26, 2025, the Company issued the NTG Sellers an aggregate of 4,393,993 of the Contingent Shares in satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the Exchange Agreement. As a result of Nasdaq’s approval of our initial listing application, the issuance of the Contingent Shares was completed in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5110(a) and the Company’s shares of common stock continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NTRP.”
On May 5, 2025, as a result of the achievement of the fourth and final business milestone, the remaining 1,450,000 Contingent Shares were issued to the NTG Sellers. No additional shares are issuable pursuant to the Exchange Agreement as of the date of this Quarterly Report.
In July 2025, Mr. Kerby, in his capacity as the NTH Representative, informed the Company of his election to exercise the Board Appointment Rights pursuant to the Exchange Agreement and designated Stephen Kircher, Jimmy Byrd, Carmen Diges and David Jiang (collectively, the “NTH Appointees”) as the individuals to replace the continuing legacy Sigma directors. On July 14, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors appointed the NTH Appointees as directors of the Company, in each case effective July 28, 2025, at which time Salvatore Battinelli, Jacob Brunsberg, Dennis Duitch and Kent Summers resigned as directors of the Company. Stephen Kircher shall serve as a Class I director, with his initial term expiring at the Company’s 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; Jimmy Byrd shall serve as a Class II director, with his initial term expiring at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders; and Ms. Diges and Mr. Jiang shall each serve as a Class III director, with their initial terms expiring at the Company’s 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each of NTH Appointees will serve as a director for the balance of their respective initial terms, and until his or her successor is elected and qualified, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported assets, liabilities, sales and expenses in the accompanying financial statements. Critical accounting policies are those that require the most subjective and complex judgments, often employing the use of estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. By their nature, changes in these assumptions and estimates could significantly affect our financial position or results of operations. Significant accounting estimates that may materially change in the near future are revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, values of stock compensation awards and stock equivalents granted as offering costs, and allowance for bad debts and inventory obsolescence. Such critical accounting policies, including the assumptions and judgments underlying them, are disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report. However, we do not believe that there are any alternative methods of accounting for our operations that would have a material effect on our financial statements.
The critical accounting policies and estimates addressed below reflect our most significant judgements and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
Revenue Recognition – The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 which involves identifying the contracts with customers, identifying performance obligations in the contracts, determining transaction price, allocating transaction price to the performance obligation and recognizing revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.
The Company recognizes revenue when the customer has purchased the product, the occurrence of the earlier of date of travel or the date of cancellation has expired, as satisfaction of the performance obligation, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue for customer travel packages purchased directly from the Company are recorded gross (the amount paid to the Company by the customer is shown as revenue and the cost of providing the respective travel package is recorded to cost of revenues).
The Company generates revenues from sales directly to customers as well as through other distribution channels of tours and activities at destinations throughout the world.
| 37 |
The Company controls the specified travel product before it is transferred to the customer and is therefore a principal, based on but not limited to, the following:
| ● | The Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide such travel product. | |
| ● | The Company has inventory risk before the specified travel product has been transferred to a customer or after transfer of control to a customer. | |
| ● | The Company has discretion in establishing the price for the specified travel product. |
Payments for tours or activities received in advance of services being rendered are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue at the earlier of the date of travel or the last date of cancellation (i.e., the customer’s refund privileges lapse).
Investments in Equity Securities without Readily Determinable Fair Value
In accordance with ASC 321-10-35-2, the Company holds certain investments in equity securities in which the Company does not have significant influence or control, and for which fair value is not readily determinable. These investments are primarily accounted for at cost, less any impairment. The carrying amount is periodically evaluated for impairment, and if necessary, an impairment loss is recognized in the statement of operations. These investments are not adjusted for unrealized gains or losses unless an impairment is identified.
For investments in non-public entities where fair value is not determinable, the Company does not adjust the carrying value for changes in fair value, except for impairment losses. The fair value of these investments is disclosed when it is practicable to determine.
Fair Value Measurements
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions. For most items such as cash, receivables, and payables, fair value is straightforward because of their short-term nature. However, two obligations we assumed in connection with our acquisition of TA Pipeline LLC involve more judgment and could have a meaningful effect on our results.
| ● | Put Option – The restricted shares issued in the acquisition give the sellers the right, under certain conditions, to require us to either repurchase the shares, issue additional shares, or make a cash payment if our stock trades below a set price. We record this obligation as a liability, and its value changes with movements in our stock price and related assumptions. | |
| ● | TA Milestone Payment – We also agreed to make an additional payment to the sellers based on TA Pipeline revenue during the first year after closing. This payment, which will be made in both cash and stock, is also recorded as a liability and depends on our projections for TA Pipeline’s performance. |
Because the fair value of these obligations depends on factors outside of our control, such as our stock price and TA Pipeline’s revenues, the amounts we record may change from period to period. For example, a change in our assumed stock price volatility could change the value of the Put Option liability, while a similar change in projected revenues could affect the Milestone Payment liability.
Stock Based Compensation
We grant stock options, restricted stock, and other equity-based awards to employees, executives, directors, and consultants. The fair value of these awards is measured on the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period.
| 38 |
Determining the fair value of stock options requires the use of valuation models, such as the Black-Scholes model, which involve assumptions about stock price volatility, expected term of the option, risk-free interest rates, and dividend yields. These assumptions are based on historical data and market conditions but involve judgment about future trends.
Because changes in these assumptions can significantly affect the estimated fair value, our stock-based compensation expense could vary materially from period to period. For instance, higher assumed volatility or longer expected option lives generally increase the fair value of options, leading to higher compensation expense.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
We record goodwill and intangible assets in connection with business acquisitions. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Intangible assets primarily include trade names, customer and supplier relationships, and technology.
We review goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. This process requires management to make assumptions and estimates which involve significant judgment. Changes in assumptions could materially affect whether an impairment is recognized and the amount of any impairment charge.
Software Development Costs
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a software application in accordance with guidelines established by “ASC 985-20-25” Accounting for the Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Otherwise Marketed, requiring certain software development costs to be capitalized upon the establishment of technological feasibility. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors such as anticipated future revenue, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technologies. Amortization of the capitalized software development costs begins when the product is available for general release to customers. Capitalized costs are amortized based on the straight-line method over the remaining estimated economic life of the product.
Impairment of Intangible Assets
In accordance with ASC 350-30-65 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, the Company assesses the impairment of identifiable intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors it considers important, which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
1. Significant underperformance compared to historical or projected future operating results;
2. Significant changes in the manner or use of the acquired assets or the strategy for the overall business; and
3. Significant negative industry or economic trends.
When the Company determines that the carrying value of an intangible asset may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment and the carrying value of the asset cannot be recovered from projected undiscounted cash flows, the Company records an impairment charge. The Company measures any impairment based on a projected discounted cash flow method using a discount rate determined by management to be commensurate with the risk inherent to the current business model. Significant management judgment is required in determining whether an indicator of impairment exists and in projecting cash flows. Intangible assets that have finite useful lives are amortized over their useful lives.
| 39 |
Segments
Segment reporting is considered a critical accounting policy because it requires management to exercise judgment in identifying operating segments, determining how those segments are aggregated into reportable segments, and determining the information reviewed by our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Our determination of reportable segments is based on multiple factors, including the nature of the products and services offered, the types of customers served, the economic characteristics of each business, and the manner in which financial information is reviewed by our CODM. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.
In response to acquisitions and expanded business activities, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, our CODM requested changes in the information that he regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. This change was driven primarily by acquisitions completed during fiscal year 2026, including FSA and TA Pipeline, which expanded our travel-related operations, and JOURNY.tv, which expanded our media operations. As a result of these changes, we updated our internal reporting structure and, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, we began reporting our financial performance based on two reportable segments: Travel and Media.
Our Travel segment provides travelers with a full range of travel services through our NXT2.0 booking engine, which offers extensive inventory and a platform for curating personalized experiences and efficient trip planning and booking. In addition, Five Star Alliance provides luxury and cruise offerings, and TA Pipeline provides a group-travel agency platform for conferences, conventions, weddings, and affinity groups. Our Media segment consists of JOURNY.tv, (our owned global travel media network, into which we are integrating the GoUSA TV content library and distribution assets acquired from Brand USA in February 2026), our joint venture with KC Global Media for international expansion across India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Australia/New Zealand, and Travel Magazine, our editorial travel content platform. We expect combined JOURNY.tv and GoUSA TV assets to support media distribution reaching approximately 250 million viewers globally in 2026 across FAST, OTT, connected TV, mobile, and digital platforms.
Our primary measure of segment performance is Operating Income (Loss). Operating Income (Loss) for the Travel and Media segments includes direct expenses attributable to each segment, as well as allocations of certain expenses, primarily salaries and benefits, third-party contractors, sales and marketing, and technology costs. These allocations are based primarily on transaction volumes and other usage-based metrics. Shared corporate expenses, including accounting, human resources, certain information technology costs, legal, audit, investor relations, directors’ compensation, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of intangible assets, and corporate development costs, are not allocated to the reportable segments and are included within Corporate.
Because the Travel and Media segments were newly formed during fiscal year 2026, the financial reporting framework supporting segment reporting continues to evolve. While the CODM currently uses Operating Income (Loss) in the monthly financial review process to assess segment performance, he is continuing to review and refine the nature, level of detail, and frequency of the financial information provided in order to determine how it will ultimately be used in decision-making, including resource allocation, budgeting, forecasting, and performance evaluation. As the segments mature, the metrics reviewed by the CODM, the cost allocation methodologies applied, and the presentation of segment information may change to better reflect how the business is managed.
The CODM does not regularly review asset information by segment, and as a result, depreciation and amortization are excluded from the segment performance measure. Accordingly, we do not report segment assets, as such information would not be meaningful.
The change in reportable segments did not result from a change in accounting principle, but rather reflects a change in internal reporting and management approach following fiscal year 2026 acquisitions and expanded business activities. Segment information for prior periods has been recast to conform to the current presentation to provide consistency and comparability across periods. Any future refinements to segment reporting will reflect changes in management’s internal reporting and decision-making processes rather than changes in accounting principles. When applicable, we will disclose such changes and recast prior-period segment information as necessary to maintain comparability.

Business Overview
NextTrip, Inc. (the “Company,” “NextTrip,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a technology-forward travel and media company operating at the intersection of premium content and travel commerce. We believe the travel industry is undergoing a structural shift toward video-led discovery, personalized planning, and seamless booking experiences, where consumers increasingly move from inspiration to transaction within connected digital environments. Our strategy is designed to capture this shift.
NextTrip combines premium travel content, global audience reach, proprietary booking technology, and concierge-supported travel services into a unified ecosystem designed to guide consumers across the full travel journey—from inspiration and discovery to planning, booking, and servicing.
We market our travel services through several core brands, including NextTrip Vacations (direct-to-consumer leisure travel), Five Star Alliance (luxury hotel and cruise bookings), and TA Pipeline (groups travel). Our specialty platforms include PayDlay (a deferred payment booking option), the Groups Platform (for destination weddings, conferences, and conventions), and the Travel Agent Platform. Our Media segment properties—JOURNY.tv, GoUSA TV content and platforms, the KCGM Joint Venture across Southeast Asia, and Travel Magazine—provide destination content designed to drive high-intention traffic into our Travel segment booking platforms and generate independent advertising revenue. Through our recent acquisition of YADA Commerce, Inc., we gained a strategic creator-commerce platform capable of driving audience acquisition, creator engagement, entertainment experiences, and travel transactions across the broader NextTrip ecosystem.
Because we are at an early stage of commercial development and have only nominal revenues to date, our ability to implement our business plan depends on our ability to successfully expand our supplier relationships, attract customers, and secure adequate capital to fund marketing and future product development. There can be no assurance that we will be able to do so.
Current Scale and Going Concern
We are in the early stages of commercial operations.
Due to uncertainties regarding our ability to meet our current and future operating and capital expenses, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of filing of this Quarterly Report and the report of our registered independent public accounting firm filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2026 contains a going concern qualification.
We expect to continue to incur net losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future as we invest in technology enhancements, supplier relationships, and marketing initiatives. Throughout this report, whenever we discuss our operational achievements, ecosystem, or growth plans, you should consider that we presently have nominal revenues, limited operating history, minimal brand awareness, and will require significant additional capital to execute our business model.
Our Integrated Content-to-Commerce Platform
Our platform is designed to connect four core elements into a seamless pathway from discovery to confirmed booking:
Content and Inspiration – travel programming, editorial content, and long and short-form destination storytelling across our Media segment platforms, including JOURNY.tv, GoUSA TV content and platforms, the KCGM Joint Venture across Southeast Asia, and Travel Magazine.
Discovery and Planning – editorial content, Agentic AI-powered personalization tools, and search capabilities designed to guide travel decisions and connect audience engagement with booking intent, including through Travel Magazine Pro in our Travel segment.
Booking and Commerce – direct transaction capabilities through the NXT2.0 platform and affiliated booking platforms within our Travel segment, supporting a broad range of travel categories including leisure, luxury, cruise, group, and business travel.
| 41 |
Service and Support – concierge and call center infrastructure supporting higher-value travel experiences and complex booking needs across our Travel segment.
This integrated approach is intended to create a seamless pathway we describe as “Watch. Scan. Book. Go.”, enabling consumers to move from inspiration through our Media segment directly to booking discounted packages mirroring the watched Travel segment. We believe this model reduces customer acquisition costs over time by leveraging owned media audiences while also generating independent advertising revenue from our Media segment.
Business Segments
We operate and report our business in two segments: (1) Travel and (2) Media.
Travel Segment
Our Travel segment encompasses our travel booking and commerce operations. This segment includes our proprietary NXT2.0 booking platform and all booking-oriented brands and products: NextTrip Vacations, Five Star Alliance, TA Pipeline, JournyGO, and Travel Magazine Pro™. The Travel segment generates revenue primarily through commissions, markups, and service fees on travel bookings, as well as advisor-driven commissions and attribution-based fees through Travel Magazine Pro™.
NXT2.0 – Core Booking Platform
At the core of our Travel segment is our proprietary NXT2.0 travel booking engine, which powers several websites, including nexttrip.com and fivestaralliance.com, as well as our Groups Platform and Travel Agent Platform. NXT2.0 supports direct-to-consumer and advisor-assisted booking across leisure, luxury, cruise, group, and business travel verticals. We serve both leisure and business travelers by offering access to travel blogs, videos, and concierge assistance to aid in planning travel, coupled with our booking platform for the direct purchase of flights, hotels, vacation homes, cruises, tours, and other travel products.
Five Star Alliance
Five Star Alliance is a premier luxury travel agency and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired in April 2025. Founded in 2004, Five Star Alliance offers a curated collection of over 5,000 five-star and luxury hotels and resorts worldwide, with an industry-leading 4.9-star Trustpilot rating and over 400,000 monthly site visitors. Five Star Alliance offers personalized recommendations, high-end travel solutions, a proprietary booking engine, and established relationships with premium travel providers, and generates revenue primarily through commission-based bookings. See “Recent Developments - Acquisition of Five Star Alliance.”

TA Pipeline has established itself as a leading group-travel agency platform with deep expertise in delivering end-to-end solutions for conferences, conventions, destination weddings, and affinity groups, often servicing groups ranging from 50 to 5,000 travelers. TA Pipeline has strong relationships with suppliers, planners, and affinity partners, and its integration into the NXT2.0 ecosystem and PayDlay financing tool is designed to enhance conversion rates and drive incremental travel bookings. See “Recent Developments - Acquisition of TA Pipeline.”
JournyGO
On
March 31, 2026, the Company launched JournyGO, our next-generation, agentic AI-powered consumer engagement and booking ecosystem. JournyGO
is the commercial activation layer of our content-to-commerce strategy and is reported within our Travel segment because its primary
function is to convert viewer engagement into confirmed travel bookings. JournyGO integrates immersive travel video (delivered through
our Media segment’s JOURNY.tv platform), our proprietary Promethean interactive overlay technology, dynamic travel packaging, and
agentic AI assistance, supported by live Travel Specialists when needed to seamlessly move viewers from inspiration to confirmed travel
bookings.
| 42 |
The Promethean platform, licensed on a perpetual basis, enables contextual advertisements and booking calls-to-action to be embedded directly within streaming video content, allowing users to initiate a booking without leaving the viewing experience. JournyGO also includes JOURNY mobile applications for iPhone and Android, as well as dedicated connected TV apps. Using artificial intelligence, JournyGO is designed to personalize content recommendations, convert editorial content into video, and enable users to create custom travel channels aligned with their interests. See “Recent Developments - Launch of JournyGO.”
Travel Magazine Pro
Travel Magazine Pro (TravelMagazine.com) is our premium digital editorial, advisor engagement, and travel commerce platform within our Travel segment, launched as the next evolution of Travel Magazine 2.0. Travel Magazine Pro is designed to operate as a strategic mid-funnel bridge between the inspirational audience reach generated by our Media segment and the transaction capabilities of our Travel segment, helping convert travel interest into measurable booking activity across the NextTrip ecosystem.
The platform features destination-focused editorial content, curated travel guides, hotel and resort recommendations, cruise and experiential travel highlights, travel planning resources, and influencer-driven content intended to engage high-intent leisure travelers during the consideration and planning phase of the customer journey. Integrated booking pathways and affiliate links connect users to our travel platforms and supplier partners, creating a seamless path from inspiration to search and transaction.
Travel Magazine Pro is also being developed to support travel advisors and distribution partners through content-sharing tools, lead attribution capabilities, and white-label promotional solutions that enable advisors to market premium travel offerings while participating in resulting booking revenues. In addition, the platform is expected to include “My Bucket List,” a social travel planning feature that will allow travelers to build, organize, and share personalized travel wish lists enhanced by booking functionality, destination insights, and curated recommendations.
Revenue generated through Travel Magazine Pro is expected to include affiliate booking commissions, advertising sales, sponsored placements, premium editorial partnerships, lead generation fees, and advisor-related transaction revenue. See “Recent Developments—Launch of Travel Magazine Pro.”
Media Segment
Our Media segment encompasses our content creation, audience development, media distribution, and advertising monetization operations. This segment includes JOURNY.tv (incorporating GoUSA TV content) and Travel Magazine, our editorial travel content platform. The Media segment generates revenue primarily through advertising, sponsorships, branded content, and destination marketing programs. In addition to direct monetization, the Media segment functions as a demand-generation engine for the Travel segment, enabling NextTrip to engage travel audiences at scale and reduce reliance on third-party marketing channels.
JOURNY.tv (Including GoUSA TV Integration)
JOURNY.tv is our owned global travel media network, providing premium travel programming across free ad-supported streaming television (“FAST”), over-the-top (“OTT”), connected TV, and digital platforms. JOURNY.tv had an estimated audience of approximately 17 million travel enthusiasts at the time of acquisition by NextTrip, and operates through key platform partnerships, including Samsung TV Plus and Plex.
In February 2026, we acquired original content, brand rights, and distribution assets of GoUSA TV from Brand USA (The Corporation for Travel Promotion). GoUSA TV is a travel streaming channel, reaching an estimated 200+ million viewers globally across connected TV, mobile, and digital platforms, including Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Plex, Titan OS, and TCL International. Rather than operating GoUSA TV as a standalone channel, we are integrating its U.S.-focused travel content library and distribution infrastructure into JOURNY.tv to enhance scale, content depth, and advertiser relevance. Combined, JOURNY.tv and GoUSA TV assets are expected to support media distribution reaching approximately 250 million viewers globally in 2026 across FAST, OTT, connected TV, mobile, and digital platforms. See “Recent Developments—GoUSA TV Asset Purchase.”
| 43 |
In July 2025, we entered into a joint venture with KC Global Media to accelerate the international expansion of JOURNY.tv into India, Southeast Asia, Africa and Australia/New Zealand, targeting new regional distribution partnerships and advertising opportunities. See “Recent Developments—KC Global Media Joint Venture.”
Travel Magazine
Travel Magazine (TravelMagazine.com) is our editorial travel content platform within our Media segment. It is an online travel publication that provides articles, guides, destination inspiration, hotel and restaurant recommendations, and general travel advice. Its audience includes both casual vacationers and more seasoned travelers seeking ideas and information for their next trip. Travel Magazine functions primarily as a content and audience platform within our Media segment, generating revenue through advertising and sponsored content, while also directing engaged readers to our owned booking channels, including NextTrip and Five Star Alliance, as well as to select third-party partners through affiliate relationships.
The media team benefits from a range of strategic partners driving advertising revenue potential, including Leap Media Group (over 35 years of TV advertising and media planning experience), Travel Spike (programmatic and direct travel advertising sales), Magnite (programmatic advertising), and Blue Fysh Holdings (digital out-of-home media solutions across North America). See “Recent Developments—Blue Fysh Share Exchange.”
NXT2.0 – Our Integrated Travel Booking Platform
Development of the Platform
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, NextTrip (then known as Monaker Group) operated a travel business focused on the sale of vacation rentals and alternative lodging rentals (“ALRs”) through its proprietary booking engine (NXT1.0). In June 2022, NextTrip acquired the Bookit.com booking engine, including its customer database, destination content, source code, and approximately 250 third-party travel supplier Application Programming Interface (“API”) relationships. The Bookit.com platform had previously powered a well-established online leisure travel agent generating over $400 million in annual sales as recently as 2019 (pre-pandemic). We launched the NXT2.0 platform in May 2023 and have since scaled to over four million hotel properties, vacation rental homes, and cruise products globally.
Travel Products and Services
Inventory and product offerings on our platform consist chiefly of: (1) direct contracts, which are negotiated directly with the travel provider and generally generate higher gross margins; and (2) third-party API content, which is lower margin but significantly broadens inventory and supports the integration of specialty products, leading to cross-selling and additional revenue opportunities.
Our Direct Contract Strategy
Our initial focus was to negotiate direct connectivity and fixed base pricing contracts with hotels and travel suppliers and to integrate those products into NXT2.0. This allows us to set our own pricing and control our margins for leisure and vacation travel products and negotiate and run co-op marketing. This flexibility affords us the opportunity to run competitive specials and adjust pricing within our marketplace.
Our Inventory Expansion and API Strategy
To supplement our higher-margin direct inventory and support our specialty platforms, we have integrated a series of third-party API relationships into NXT2.0. Major suppliers include Expedia (worldwide hotel product), Nuitée (hotel and vacation rental homes), Global Distribution Systems (luxury hotels and activities), and Signature Travel Network via Five Star Alliance (all major cruise lines). These established suppliers provide significant additional content and product depth in our booking engine, giving NextTrip comprehensive global leisure travel inventory coverage.
| 44 |
Core Product Offerings
NextTrip’s Travel segment offerings span leisure, luxury, cruise, group, and business travel. Key product offerings include:

NXT2.0 Platform Features
Existing Features
Our marketplace at nexttrip.com offers tools for browsing and comparing flights, hotels, tours, cruises, and activities. We allow travelers to defer payments on select vacation packages with our proprietary PayDlay program, which allows travelers to purchase travel with a small deposit and make subsequent payments between purchase and the week before travel, with no interest charged. Registered NextTrip travelers can manage bookings, receive updates on special offers, and subscribe to newsletters. Security is a priority, with rigorous content screening and Payment Card Industry (“PCI”) compliance to safeguard customer information.
NXT2.0 equips travelers with a seamlessly integrated planning and booking ecosystem. Within a personalized profile, users can explore a curated library of videos and editorial content tailored to their interests, earmark preferred destinations and activities, and engage a dedicated concierge team for travel planning support. Travelers may transact digitally through the platform’s booking engine or speak directly with a call-center specialist, all while utilizing proprietary payment tools such as PayDlay.
Technology and Infrastructure
Our websites are hosted using cloud services distributed globally across multiple regions, designed to manage increases in traffic through scalable computing power without requiring software changes. Our cloud services provide scalable and redundant Internet connectivity as well as redundant power and cooling. We use industry-standard security methods to ensure the integrity of our networks and protection of confidential data. Access to NextTrip’s networks and the servers and databases on which confidential data is stored is protected by industry-standard firewall and encryption technology. Physical access to our servers and related equipment is secured by limiting access to the data center to operations personnel only.
Promethean Interactive Platform
Promethean is our proprietary interactive video overlay platform, licensed on a perpetual basis, which drives advertising revenue and facilitates the connection between our Media and Travel segments. We are integrating this platform into JournyGO’s video content with interactive overlays that allow users to initiate travel bookings directly from streaming content through contextual calls-to-action without interrupting the viewing experience. Promethean is the key technology enabling our “Watch. Scan. Book. Go.” ecosystem, providing the link through which JOURNY.tv viewers in our Media segment can transact within our Travel segment in real time.
| 45 |
Revenue Strategy and Development of an Integrated Travel and Media Ecosystem
NextTrip’s revenue strategy is built on two complementary and mutually reinforcing revenue streams generated across our two operating segments.
Travel Segment Revenue
We generate Travel segment revenue through commissions, markups, and service fees on travel bookings across hotels, vacation rentals, cruises, packages, and related travel services. Product sales are generally structured either: (1) as a set commission on the sale of a travel product whereby the supplier or wholesaler controls the pricing (as is the case with the majority of Five Star Alliance products), or (2) through a direct, negotiated contract between the Company and the product supplier (as is the case with the majority of NextTrip’s products), which allows us to set our own retail pricing. Commission-based travel products are generally lower margin than directly negotiated travel products. Our strategy emphasizes higher-value travel segments, including luxury travel, cruise, and group travel, which we believe offer higher transaction values, repeat business opportunities, and enhanced service economics. Travel Magazine Pro also contributes Travel segment revenue through affiliate commissions and sponsored booking content.
Media Segment Revenue
We generate Media segment revenue through advertising, sponsorships, branded content, and destination marketing programs across JOURNY.tv and Travel Magazine. As the number of viewers and users grows, it drives the advertising rates the Company can charge third parties to promote travel products and services to our audience. Beyond generating direct advertising dollars, our growing audience provides additional opportunities for NextTrip to promote its own Travel segment products to highly targeted viewers, reducing our dependence on external marketing channels.
The deployment of JournyGO and the Promethean interactive overlay platform is expected to further enhance both segments by converting Media segment viewership into Travel segment bookings, while simultaneously supporting higher advertising CPMs through demonstrated audience action rates.
Development of Integrated Revenue Model
NextTrip is in the early stages of development and roll out of its comprehensive two-segment model. While the products introduced to date are now functional and generating nominal revenues, those revenue streams are currently small and variable relative to established travel industry leaders. Our ability to capitalize on our platforms is constrained by limited funding for marketing programs. The timeline to complete planned programs is dependent upon our ability to raise capital; however, we believe that most programs can be delivered within 180 days of obtaining such necessary funding. Once fully integrated, we believe the model will deliver accelerating revenue growth as our content-to-commerce strategy targets underserved areas in the travel sector—such as PayDlay, Groups bookings, and the Travel Agent Platform—not well serviced by the major travel industry leaders.

Acquisition of a Controlling Interest in YADA
On
June 10, 2026, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with YADA Commerce Inc. (“YADA”) pursuant to which the

GoUSA TV Asset Purchase
On February 2, 2026, NextTrip, Inc. entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with The Corporation for Travel Promotion, doing business as “Brand USA” (“Seller”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase select content, brand rights, and distribution assets (collectively, the “Assets”) of GoUSA TV, a travel streaming platform originally launched to showcase destinations across the United States. GoUSA TV historically reached an estimated 200+ million viewers globally across connected TV, mobile applications, and digital platforms, including Samsung TV Plus, LG Channels, Titan OS, and TCL International.
The aggregate consideration under the Purchase Agreement is $350,000 in cash plus restricted shares of the Company with a value of $350,000 based on the weighted average price of the shares for the twenty consecutive trading days ending on the trading day two trading days prior to closing. In addition, the Company will pay to Seller a royalty equal to 15% of the Company’s gross advertising revenue from the exploitation of the acquired content rights during the three-year period beginning on the closing date. The Company has also agreed, for a three-year period beginning on closing, to pay a royalty of 1% for every $100,000 in destination booking revenue directly attributed to the acquired content, with a minimum quarterly payment of $30,000.
The GoUSA TV assets are being integrated into JOURNY.tv within the Media segment. GoUSA TV content serves as a U.S.-focused demand-generation layer within NextTrip’s broader media-to-commerce ecosystem.
KC Global Media Joint Venture
In July 2025, NextTrip entered into a joint venture with KC Global Media, a leading Asian entertainment network founded by former Sony executives, to accelerate the international expansion of the JOURNY.tv Media segment platform into India, Southeast Asia, and Australia/New Zealand. This initiative is intended to support regional distribution partnerships, advertising monetization opportunities, and localized content strategies, while significantly expanding NextTrip’s global audience reach and strengthening top-of-funnel travel demand generation for the Travel segment.
Acquisition of TA Pipeline
On August 6, 2025, the Company entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “TA MIPA”) with TA Pipeline LLC (“TA”) and the members of TA (the “TA Members”), pursuant to which the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of TA (the “TA Acquisition”). The TA Acquisition closed on August 6, 2025, resulting in TA becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company operating within the Travel segment.
Pursuant to the TA MIPA, as consideration for the TA Acquisition, the Company (i) paid the TA Members an aggregate of $443,168 in cash and (ii) issued an aggregate of 96,774 restricted shares of Company common stock valued at $300,000, based on a price per share of $3.10. In addition, the Company shall make an earnout payment equal to five percent (5%) of the net revenues generated by TA during the 12-month period after the closing date, up to a maximum of $200,000, payable 50% in cash and 50% in restricted shares of Company common stock at $3.10 per share.
In addition, in the event that the fair market value of the Company’s common stock is less than $3.10 per share during the applicable exercise period, each TA Member shall have a limited, one-time option to (i) require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their TA acquisition shares at $3.10, (ii) require the Company to issue additional shares to make the aggregate value equal to the original aggregate value, or (iii) require the Company to pay the difference in cash between the base price and fair market value. The exercise period commences upon the earlier of the date the shares first become eligible for public resale or the first anniversary of the closing date.
On February 24, 2026, the former TA Members delivered a notice exercising the Put Option and demanding that the Company repurchase all 96,774 shares in cash at the $3.10 per share Base Price. The Company declined to honor the exercise, believing the former TA Members are in breach of their obligations under the TA MIPA. Following unsuccessful discussions between the parties, the Company was notified on July 14, 2026 that the former TA Members had filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association in Las Vegas, Nevada, asserting a claim for breach of contract and seeking damages of not less than $299,999.40, together with attorneys' fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and arbitration costs. See Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings.”
The Company believes it has meritorious defenses and intends to defend the matter vigorously and to pursue available counterclaims. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the arbitration or reasonably estimate the amount or range of any possible loss at this time. If the matter is ultimately resolved against the Company, the Company could be required to pay up to approximately $300,000 in cash (exclusive of interest, fees, and costs), or to issue additional shares of common stock, which could adversely affect the Company's cash position and liquidity. The 96,774 shares remain classified as mezzanine equity, at a carrying value of $387,000, on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On April 9, 2025, the Company exercised its option to acquire the remaining 51% of FSA’s membership units for an additional $500,000 in cash plus 161,291 shares of Series O Preferred Stock, resulting in FSA becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company within the Travel segment.
On April 28, 2025, the parties determined that each of the four performance milestones under the FSA Purchase Agreement had been achieved, and in satisfaction of those obligations, the Company paid the FSA Members an additional aggregate of $400,000 in cash and issued an aggregate of 120,967 shares of Series O Preferred. In total, the Company paid aggregate cash consideration of $1,400,000 and issued an aggregate of 443,549 shares of Series O Preferred to the FSA Members in connection with the acquisition of Five Star Alliance.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended May 31, 2025

| Total Revenue | $ | 1,451,735 | $ | 138,827 | 946 | % | ||||||
The increase in revenue of $1,312,908, or 946% for the three months ended May 31, 2026 vs. May 31, 2025 was primarily due to group travel-related revenues and cruise bookings. In addition, our Media segment generated revenue from direct advertising sales and programmatic revenues.
Our cost of revenue for the three months ended May 31, 2026 was $1,243,636, as compared to $99,921 for the same period in 2025, an increase of $1,143,715, or 1,145%. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in sales from fiscal year 2026 as compared to fiscal year 2025.
Our gross margin for the three months ended May 31, 2026 was 14%, as compared to 28% for the same period in 2025. The decline in gross margin was primarily driven by a shift in the type of revenue we received, as revenue from higher-margin agent (commission) travel bookings and direct advertising sales declined relative to merchant-of-record travel bookings.

Our total operating expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2026 were $3,121,852, as compared to $4,678,643 for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $1,556,791, or 33%. The decrease was primarily attributable to stock options granted to former directors and other non-cash professional services expenses incurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, as further discussed below. Total non-cash expenses, primarily consisting of stock-based compensation, stock options granted to former directors, common shares issued to third parties for services, and depreciation and amortization totaled $889,388, or 28% of our operating expenses for the three months ended May 31, 2026, and $2,980,746, or 64% of our operating expenses for the same period in 2025.
Salary and benefits costs were $907,401 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, as compared to $696,914 for the same period in 2025, an increase of $210,487, or 30%. The increase was comprised of: (a) an increase in salaries of $151,043 due to the addition of seven new employees; (b) an increase in payroll taxes and benefits of $60,752; and (c) an increase due to the revaluation of the SAR liability of $7,453; partially offset by a decrease in bonus expense of $6,190, and a decrease in commission expense of $2,574.

This decrease of $151,985, or 110%, was primarily due to options issued in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, that did not recur in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 and a true up of stock-based compensation to reflect the employee portion of payroll taxes.
We incurred general and administrative costs of $34,626 during the three months ended May 31, 2026, as compared to $30,588 in the same period in 2025, an increase of $4,038, or 13%.

The increase was in connection with expenses for NextTrip Privilege, Inc. and the Regulation A offering, and reflects an increase in the credit loss reserve due to the uncertainty of collectability of the receivable from NextTrip Privilege, Inc.
Other operating expenses were $65,204 for the three months ended May 31, 2026, as compared to $45,170 for the same period in 2025. The $20,034 increase, or 44%, was primarily due to increased merchant processing fees related to group travel.

The increase in net other expense of $405,528 was primarily due to $540,245 received from NextTrip Group, LLC in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 related to the NextPlay Technologies settlement, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense, a decrease in loss on extinguishment of liability, and a gain on the revaluation of the derivative liability in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.
Preferred dividends for the three months ended May 31, 2026 were $19,691, as compared to $64,463, for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $44,772, or 69%.

The decrease of $1,725,984, or 37% in operating loss in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 as compared to fiscal year 2026 was primarily due to a decrease in corporate expenses of $1,901,048 as a result of stock based compensation issued to board members in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. The increase in the operating loss of the Media segment of $358,946 is due to the start-up of operations and is primarily made up of contracted services in connection with our FAST channel. The decrease in operating loss for the Travel segment of $183,882 is due to the increased revenues from the Five Star Alliance and TA Pipeline acquisitions.
The decrease of $11,307 in the net loss on the share of net earnings from the equity method investment was due to losses incurred in FSA from March 1, 2025 through April 9, 2025 when the full acquisition was finalized.
Our net loss applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended May 31, 2026, was $3,145,160, as compared to $4,521,695 for the same period in 2025, a decrease of $1,376,535, or 30%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating loss of $1,725,984, a decrease in preferred dividends of $44,772, and decrease in the loss on the 49% share of net earnings for the equity method investee of $11,307; partially offset by an increase in Other Expense of $405,528 due to a settlement agreement between NextTrip Group, LLC and the Company related to the NextPlay Technologies, Inc. promissory note receivable that resulted in other income in the previous year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We have historically funded our operations through private placements of our securities, short-term promissory notes, and advances from related parties. Given the limited revenue generated since inception, our principal sources of liquidity continue to be cash on hand and external financing rather than cash generated from operations. Our principal short-term uses of cash are operating expenditures, including personnel, technology development, sales and marketing, professional fees, and integration costs related to our recent acquisitions. Principal longer-term uses of cash include scheduled debt service, payment of accrued interest, and additional investment in our travel and technology platforms.
As of May 31, 2026, we had cash of $803,490 and a working capital deficit of $1,599,429, as compared to cash of $1,696,090 and a working capital deficit of $761,004 as of February 28, 2026. The increase in our working capital deficit was primarily attributable to growth in accrued interest, accrued professional fees, and current maturities of short-term promissory notes, partially offset by the increase in cash from financing activities. As of May 31, 2026, the aggregate outstanding balance on our short-term promissory notes, including accrued interest, totaled $1,180,171, and the balance on our related-party line of credit totaled $3,029,589 including accrued interest. Additionally, the Series B Convertible Preferred shares are redeemable on August 30, 2026, in the amount of $1,164,447 including accrued interest, unless such redemption is extended to December 31, 2026 at the option of the investor.
Going Concern — Substantial Doubt and Management’s Plans
Conditions giving rise to substantial doubt. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, management evaluated whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. As of May 31, 2026, we have incurred recurring net losses, have negative cash flows from operations, have an accumulated deficit, have a working capital deficit, and have generated limited revenue since inception. For the three months ended May 31, 2026, we incurred a net loss of $3,125,469 (before preferred dividends) and used $2,343,339 of cash in operating activities. Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that we will require a minimum of $5.5 million of cash to fund existing operations for the twelve months following the issuance date of these financial statements, which exceeds our cash balance of $803,490 as of May 31, 2026. These conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued.
Management’s plans. To address the conditions described above, management’s plans include the following: (i) continuing to raise capital through public and private placements of equity and equity-linked securities, including our offerings of common stock, Convertible Preferred Stock, (and including other subsequent-event issuances that have generated aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $743,000 through the date of this Quarterly Report); (ii) drawing on related-party financing arrangements as available (under which $950,000 of principal was outstanding as of the date of this Quarterly Report, with respect to the short-term promissory note issued to The Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust on March 25, 2026, as amended) and seeking new debt financing on commercially reasonable terms; (iii) integrating recently acquired businesses (TA Pipeline LLC, FSA, JOURNY.tv, and GoUSA) to accelerate revenue generation and expand our distribution channels; (iv) managing discretionary operating expenditures, including selectively deferring non-essential technology and marketing spend; and (v) pursuing strategic partnerships intended to monetize our travel and content assets. Management is in active discussions with prospective investors and lenders, but no commitments have been received as of the issuance date of these financial statements.
Management’s conclusion. Although management believes that its plans, if successfully executed, would provide sufficient liquidity to fund operations for the next twelve months, these plans are not entirely within the Company’s control. The ability to consummate additional financings on acceptable terms, generate sufficient revenue from acquired businesses, and otherwise execute on management’s plans cannot be considered probable as of the issuance date of these financial statements. Accordingly, management has concluded that its plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or to the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Sources of Liquidity
Our principal sources of liquidity during the three months ended May 31, 2026 consisted of: (i) net proceeds from private placements of common stock, preferred stock, and warrants; and (ii) issuances of short-term promissory notes (including original-issue-discount notes). During the quarter, we received aggregate gross proceeds of $1,315,100 from private placements of equity and equity-linked securities, $157,000 from the sale of short-term promissory notes, and $600,000 in the form of a promissory note from the Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust, a related party. We do not currently have any committed external sources of capital, other than the MIP Line of Credit, which is fully drawn.
Amounts noted reflect gross proceeds received by the Company which were reduced by original issue discounts, placement agent fees, and other offering expenses, as applicable. The March 25, 2026 transaction with Donald Monaco and the April 15, 2026 transaction with KC Global Media Asia, LLC are related-party transactions. Mr. Monaco is a director and Andy Kaplan, a director, is the co-trustee of the Kaplan-Wright Family Trust, which owns 50% of KC Global Media Entertainment LLC, which in turn owns 100% of KC Global Media Asia, LLC; Mr. Kaplan also serves as chairman of KC Global Media Asia, LLC. These transactions were entered into on substantially the same terms as the contemporaneous transactions with unaffiliated investors.
March 24, 2026 — 1800 Diagonal Lending Note
On March 24, 2026, we issued a short-term promissory note to 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC in the principal amount of $180,550. The note includes an original issue discount of $23,550 and bears a one-time interest charge of 13%, which was applied to the principal on the issuance date. The note is payable in five installments, with the first installment of $102,011 due on September 30, 2026 and four equal subsequent installments of $25,503 due on the 30th day of each of the next four months. The note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Upon an event of default by the Company, any unpaid principal and interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the election of 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC.
March 25, 2026 — Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust Short-Term Promissory Note (related party)
On March 25, 2026, the Company issued an unsecured short-term promissory note (the “Monaco Trust Note”) in the original principal amount of $80,000 to The Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust (the “Trust”), the trustee of which is Donald P. Monaco, the Chairman of our Board of Directors. The Monaco Trust Note bears interest at 7.5% simple interest per annum and was originally scheduled to mature on April 3, 2026. The Monaco Trust Note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. The Monaco Trust Note was approved by the Board, including the independent members thereof.
The Monaco Trust Note has been amended to increase the principal amount and extend the maturity date, as follows: (i) on April 6, 2026, the Company and the Trust entered into a First Amendment increasing the principal balance to $155,000 and extending the maturity date to April 13, 2026; (ii) on April 9, 2026, the Company and the Trust entered into a Second Amendment increasing the principal balance to $290,000 and extending the maturity date to April 30, 2026; (iii) on April 27, 2026, the Company and the Trust entered into a Third Amendment increasing the principal balance to $400,000 and extending the maturity date to May 31, 2026; (iv) on April 30, 2026 the Company and the Trust entered into a Fourth Amendment increasing the principal balance to $510,000; (v) on May 12, 2026, the Company repaid $110,000 of principal under the Monaco Trust Note; and on May 29, 2026 the Company and the Trust entered into a Fifth Amendment increasing the principal balance to $600,000. Other terms of the Monaco Trust Note remained unchanged under each amendment. As of May 31, 2026, $600,000 of principal remained outstanding under the Monaco Trust Note. The 7.5% interest rate, which is lower than the 12% rate borne by the MIP Line of Credit, reflects the short-term, on-demand nature of the Monaco Trust Note. The Monaco Trust Note, including each amendment, was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board and the full Board, including the independent members thereof.
April 15, 2026 — Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Sale to KC Global Media Asia, LLC (related party)
On April 15, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with KC Global Media Asia, LLC pursuant to which we issued and sold 16,667 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock at a purchase price of $3.00 per share, for total proceeds of $50,000, together with a warrant to purchase up to 8,333 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, expiring 3.5 years from the issue date. As described above, Andy Kaplan, a director of the Company, serves as chairman of KC Global Media Asia, LLC; accordingly, this transaction is a related-party transaction. The transaction was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board and the full Board, including the independent members thereof.

May 6, 2026 — Helena Global Series B Preferred Private Placement
On May 6, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Helena Global Investment Opportunities 1 Ltd (“Helena”) pursuant to which we issued and sold 368,421 shares of newly designated Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred”) at a purchase price of $2.755 per share, together with an additional 40,000 shares of Series B Preferred issued as an issuance fee, for total proceeds of $1,015,000. In addition, we issued to Helena a five-year warrant to purchase up to 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.755 per share and may be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no effective registration statement in place and if there is an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designation and is continuing.
The Series B Preferred (i) ranks pari passu with our other series of preferred stock and senior to our common stock with respect to dividends and distributions on liquidation; (ii) carries a cumulative cash dividend of 12% per annum, increasing to 18% per annum upon an event of default; (iii) is convertible into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $2.755 per share, subject to customary beneficial ownership limitations; and (iv) is subject to mandatory redemption at the stated value plus accrued and unpaid dividends on August 30, 2026, unless the holder elects in writing to extend the redemption date to December 31, 2026.
In addition, Helena was granted (i) a right of participation of up to 20% of any future securities offering by the Company (other than exempt issuances); (ii) an exchange right pursuant to which Helena may exchange Series B Preferred for offered securities at 100% of stated value; and (iii) registration rights pursuant to which the Company is required to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred and exercise of the related warrant within 15 days after closing, and to use best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 30 days (or 60 days if the SEC reviews) after closing. The Company has also agreed that, during the 180-day period following closing, Helena may require the Company to apply 25% of the net proceeds of any “at the market” offering to redeem outstanding shares of Series B Preferred at the contractual redemption price. Additional terms of the Series B Preferred are set forth in the Certificate of Designation filed with the Nevada Secretary of State and described in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 8, 2026.
The Company’s obligations under the Series B Preferred are secured by a pledge of 1,365,314 shares of common stock owned by William Kerby, our Chief Executive Officer. Net proceeds are being used for general working capital purposes. Helena is not a related party. The $2.755 per share purchase price represented the Nasdaq Minimum Price plus $0.125 as of the date of the related securities purchase agreement.
May 6, 2026 — Common Stock Sale to a Private Investor
On May 6, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with a private investor pursuant to which we issued and sold 36,400 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.75 per share, together with a three-year warrant to purchase up to 18,200 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share, for total proceeds of $100,100. The investor is not a related party.
May 8, 2026 — Common Stock Sale to KC Global Media Asia, LLC (related party)
On May 8, 2026, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with KC Global Media Asia, LLC pursuant to which we issued and sold 18,182 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $2.75 per share, for total proceeds of $50,000, together with a warrant to purchase up to 9,091 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, expiring on May 8, 2029. As described above, Andy Kaplan, a director of the Company, serves as chairman of KC Global Media Asia, LLC; accordingly, this transaction is a related-party transaction. The transaction was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board and the full Board, including the independent members thereof.
May 26, 2026 — 1800 Diagonal Lending Note
On May 26, 2026, we issued a short-term promissory note to 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC in the principal amount of $172,500. The note includes an original issue discount of $22,500 and bears a one-time interest charge of 13%, which was applied to the principal on the issuance date. The note is payable in five installments, with the first installment of $97,462 due on November 30, 2026 and four equal subsequent installments of $24,366 due on the 30th day of each of the next four months. The note may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Upon an event of default by the Company, any unpaid principal and interest may be converted into shares of our common stock at the election of 1800 Diagonal Lending LLC.
| 55 |
Chief Executive Officer Compensation Deferral (related party)
William Kerby, our Chief Executive Officer, has agreed at his election to defer $100,000 of his annual salary, together with payments related to personal financial guarantees and his car allowance. As of May 31, 2026, the aggregate compensation deferred by Mr. Kerby totaled $308,334. The deferred amounts accrue interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum. The Company’s ability to retain these deferred amounts as a source of working capital is contingent on Mr. Kerby’s continued election to defer payment.
Material Cash Requirements
Our material cash requirements as of May 31, 2026 consist principally of short-term promissory notes, accrued interest, and the outstanding balance on the MIP Line of Credit. Short-term promissory notes outstanding at May 31, 2026 had an aggregate repayment amount due of approximately $1,180,171 and a carrying value, net of unamortized discount, of $946,817, with maturities through March 31, 2027, including the September 26, 2025, October 24, 2025, March 24, 2026 and May 26, 2026 1800 Diagonal Lending notes (which amortize in installments), the Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust note, as amended, which matures on July 15, 2026 and the October 17, 2025 notes issued to two private investors (maturing November 17, 2026, as amended). The MIP Line of Credit has an outstanding principal balance of $3,000,000, with all principal and accrued interest due at the May 31, 2028 maturity date, as amended. Interest accrues at 12% per annum and is payable monthly. Additionally, the Series B Convertible Preferred shares are redeemable on August 30, 2026, in the amount of $1,164,447 unless such redemption is extended to December 31, 2026 at the option of the investor.
We have ongoing operating cash requirements for personnel, technology development, marketing, professional fees, and acquisition integration. Based on our current operating plan, we estimate that cash required to fund operations for the twelve months following May 31, 2026 will be approximately $5.5 million, which exceeds our cash balance at May 31, 2026. We do not have any material commitments for capital expenditures, and we do not have any material purchase obligations, take-or-pay contracts, or unconditional purchase obligations outside the ordinary course of business. We have no off-balance sheet arrangements (within the meaning of Item 303(b)(1)(ii) of Regulation S-K) that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2,343,339 during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to $1,042,658 during the same period in 2025, an increase of $1,300,681, or 125%. The operating cash outflow during the current period was driven by a net loss of $3,125,469 (before payment of preferred dividends), partially offset by non-cash charges of $949,494 and further increased by net changes in working capital of $167,364. Non-cash charges included depreciation and amortization of $336,669, amortization of debt discount of $113,533, and shares issued for professional services of $552,952, partially offset by a reversal of employee stock-based compensation of $13,660 and a gain on the derivative liability revaluation of $40,000. Changes in working capital primarily reflected a decrease in deferred revenue of $807,464 and an increase in accounts receivable of $133,207, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $439,724 and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $344,626.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $237,561 during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to $1,281,503 during the same period in 2025, a decrease of $1,043,942, or 81%. Investing outflows in the current period consisted entirely of capitalized software development costs of $237,561. In the prior-year period, investing activities consisted of $81,503 in capitalized software development costs, $900,000 paid for the FSA Travel LLC acquisition, and $300,000 for the JOURNY.tv asset purchase.

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,688,300 during the three months ended May 31, 2026, compared to $1,392,700 during the same period in 2025, an increase of $295,600, or 21%. Financing activities in the current period consisted of $1,015,000 of gross proceeds from our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock offering ($895,000 net of $120,000 in related offering costs), $150,100 of proceeds from sales of common stock, $150,000 of proceeds from sales of preferred stock ($145,000 net of $5,000 in offering costs), $157,000 of proceeds from a bridge loan (offset by $258,800 of bridge loan repayments), and $600,000 of advances from a related party. In the prior-year period, financing activities consisted of $1,200,000 of advances from a related party and $192,700 of proceeds from notes payable.
Known Trends, Demands, Commitments, and Uncertainties
Need for additional financing. We will need to raise additional capital through equity, equity-linked, or debt financings, or through other arrangements, to support continuing operations and to execute our business plan. Our existing cash balance is not sufficient to fund our anticipated operating cash requirements for the next twelve months. There can be no assurance regarding the availability or terms of any additional financing. If we issue additional equity or equity-linked securities, our stockholders may experience material dilution, and any new securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of our existing common stock. If we incur additional debt, the related instruments may impose covenants and repayment obligations that adversely affect our financial flexibility or business operations. If we are unable to obtain financing when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate one or more aspects of our business plan, including planned product and content investments, and we may lose our Nasdaq listing.
Nasdaq listing requirements. Our continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market requires compliance with applicable minimum bid price, stockholders’ equity, market value, and other continued-listing standards. Adverse developments in our operations or financial condition, or further dilutive issuances, could affect our ability to maintain compliance with these requirements. Failure to maintain compliance could result in delisting, which would adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock and our ability to raise additional capital.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions. We are unable to predict the effect that broader macroeconomic conditions — including elevated interest rates, inflationary pressure on input and labor costs, fluctuations in consumer travel demand, foreign currency volatility, and geopolitical events such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, Iran and Israel — may have on our access to the capital markets, our cost of capital, the timing and cost of our acquisitions, or consumer demand for our travel products. Continued unfavorable trends in these areas could increase our use of cash and impair our ability to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms.
Acquisition integration. We expect to continue to incur integration costs in fiscal 2027 as we combine acquired operations, technology, and content. These integration activities are intended to accelerate revenue generation, but the timing and magnitude of any related revenue contribution remain uncertain.
Subsequent Events Affecting Liquidity
On June 9, 2026, we sold a short-term promissory note to a private investor for $100,000. In connection with the note, we issued the investor a three-year warrant to purchase up to 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.75 per share. The maturity date of the note is August 8, 2026, and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
On June 16, 2026, a private investor exercised a warrant to purchase 8,278 shares of common stock at $3.02 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $25,000.
On June 18, 2026, David Jiang, a director, purchased 18,200 shares of common stock in a private placement at $2.75 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $50,050.

The Donald P. Monaco Insurance Trust (the “Trust”) promissory note has been amended to increase the principal amount and extend the maturity date, as follows: On June 3, 2026 the Company and the Trust (the “Parties”) entered into the Sixth Amendment extending the maturity date to June 30, 2026; on June 8, 2026 the Parties entered into the Seventh Amendment increasing the principal balance to $700,000, and on June 30, 2026 the Parties entered into the Eighth Amendment increasing the principal balance to $950,000 and extending the maturity date to July 15, 2026. Other terms of the Monaco Trust Note remained unchanged under each amendment. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, $950,000 of principal remained outstanding under the Monaco Trust Note. The 7.5% interest rate, which is lower than the 12% rate borne by the MIP Line of Credit, reflects the short-term, on-demand nature of the Monaco Trust Note. The Monaco Trust Note, including each amendment, was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board and the full Board, including the independent members thereof.
On July 1, 2026, the Company entered into a short-term loan agreement with OnDeck for a principal amount of $275,000. The loan is repayable in eighteen monthly installments of $20,533 for a total repayment amount of $369,600. The origination fee was $6,875 and the total interest expense is $94,600 for a total loan cost of $101,475.
Trend in pricing. Our equity issuances during the three months ended May 31, 2026 were priced $2.75 per share. The subsequent-event common stock issuances were priced at $2.55 and $3.02 per share, respectively, representing a decline relative to fiscal year 2026 issuance prices. This pricing trend, if it continues, may increase the dilutive impact of future financings on our existing stockholders and may indicate continued pressure on our access to capital on favorable terms.
Other than the foregoing, no material subsequent events related to our liquidity and capital resources have occurred from May 31, 2026 through the date of this Quarterly Report.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion of critical accounting estimates that affect liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations is set forth in “Critical Accounting Estimates” elsewhere in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
Other Information
Other than the MIP Line of Credit and the related-party promissory notes described in Note 12, “Related Party Transactions,” to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report, we have no lines of credit or other financing arrangements.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic and current reports that we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
| 58 |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a 15(e) and 15d 15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report (the “Evaluation Date”), have concluded that as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, where appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in management’s evaluation pursuant to Rules 13a-15(d) or 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act during the period covered by this Quarterly Report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On July 13, 2026, Luis Barberi, Mitch Toren, and Ashish Tembe, the former members of TA Pipeline LLC, filed a Demand for Arbitration against the Company with the American Arbitration Association, to be conducted in Las Vegas, Nevada. The claim asserts breach of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated August 6, 2025, based on the Company's alleged failure to repurchase 96,774 restricted shares of the Company's common stock at the $3.10 per share Base Price following the claimants’ February 24, 2026 exercise of a put right under the agreement. The claimants seek damages of not less than $299,999.40, together with attorneys' fees, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest, and arbitration costs. The Company believes the claimants are in breach of the agreement, believes it has meritorious defenses, and intends to defend the matter vigorously and to assert available counterclaims.
Other than as described above, from time to time, the Company is subject to various claims, disputes, and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, including matters relating to employment, contractual, and commercial relationships. The Company is not currently a party to any other legal proceeding that management believes is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Regardless of the outcome, litigation and other proceedings can have an adverse impact on the Company because of associated defense and settlement costs, the diversion of management resources, and other factors.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
You should consider the “Risk Factors” included under Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2026 filed with the SEC on May 29, 2026, as well as the following updated Risk Factor:
As of May 31, 2026, we had $803,490 in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,599,429. Our existing cash on hand and anticipated revenues are not sufficient to fund our anticipated operating costs. We will need to raise additional financing to fund our operations, maintain compliance with the Nasdaq continued listing requirements and implement our business plan. There is no assurance as to the amount and availability of any required future financing or the terms thereof. Such financing, if in the form of equity, may be highly dilutive to our existing stockholders and may otherwise include onerous terms. If in the form of debt, such financing may include covenants and repayment obligations which may be difficult to meet and that could adversely affect our business operations. We have no current understanding or arrangement to obtain any additional financing. To the extent that funds are not available to us, we may be required to delay, limit, or terminate our business operations and may lose our Nasdaq listing.
In light of the foregoing, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months from the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Proceeds received from the issuance of unregistered common and preferred shares and associated warrants have been used for general working capital purposes.

| -2- |
4. Dividends. Holders of Preferred Stock (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) shall be entitled to receive, and the Corporation shall pay, dividends on shares of Preferred Stock equal (on an as- if-converted-to- Common-Stock basis calculated based on the Conversion Ratio, disregarding for such purpose any conversion limitations or liquidation preferences hereunder) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the Common Stock when, as and if such dividends are paid on shares of the Common Stock. Other than as set forth in the previous sentence, no other dividends shall be paid on shares of Preferred Stock, and the Corporation shall pay no dividends (other than dividends in the form of Common Stock) on shares of the Common Stock unless it simultaneously complies with the previous sentence.

In determining the application of the Beneficial Ownership Limitations solely with respect to the Automatic Conversion, the Corporation shall calculate beneficial ownership for each Holder assuming beneficial ownership by such Holder of: (x) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to such Holder in such Automatic Conversion, plus (y) any additional shares of Common Stock for which a Holder has provided the Corporation with prior written notice of beneficial ownership within 30 days prior to the date of Stockholder Approval (a “Beneficial Ownership Statement”) and assuming the conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock held by all other Holders less the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock held by all other Holders that will not convert into shares of Common Stock on account of the application of any Beneficial Ownership Limitations applicable to any such other Holders. If a Holder fails to provide the Corporation with a Beneficial Ownership Statement within 30 days prior to the date of Stockholder Approval, then the Corporation shall presume the Holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock (excluding the Conversion Shares) to be zero. The shares of Preferred Stock that are converted in the Automatic Conversion are referred to as the “Converted Stock”. The Conversion Shares shall be issued as follows: each outstanding share of Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into one (1) share of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as set forth herein) (the ·Conversion Ratio”). The shares of Preferred Stock that are converted pursuant to this Section 7 are referred to as the “Converted Stock.”
| -3- |
(b) Delivery of Conversion Shares Upon Conversion. Not later than five (5) Business Days after the Conversion Date, the Corporation shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holders such number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. The Conversion Shares shall be issued as follows:
i. Converted Stock that is registered in book entry form shall be automatically cancelled upon the Conversion Date and converted into the corresponding Conversion Shares, which shares shall issued in book entry form and without any action on the part of the Holders and shall be delivered to the Holders within two (2) Business Days of the effectiveness of the conversion.
ii. Converted Stock that is issued in certificated fonn shall be deemed converted into the corresponding Conversion Shares on the Conversion Date and the Holder’s rights as a holder of such shares of Converted Stock shall cease and terminate on such date, excepting only the right to receive the Conversion Shares upon the Holder tendering to the Corporation (or its designated agent) the stock certificate(s) (duly endorsed) representing such certificated Converted Stock and any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation.
(c) Delivery of Certificate or Book Entry Form. Upon conversion, not later than two (2) Business Days after the Conversion Date, or if the Holder requests the issuance of physical certificate(s), two (2) Business Days after receipt by the Corporation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock being converted, duly endorsed by the Holder (the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall either: (a) in the event that the Holder has so elected in a written notice to the Corporation, deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the converting Holder a physical certificate or certificates representing the number of Conversion Shares being acquired upon the conversion of shares of Preferred Stock or (b) otherwise shall issue and deliver to such Holder or such Holder’s nominees, documentation of the book entry for the number of Conversion Shares being acquired.
(d) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contrary herein, the Corporation shall not effect the conversion of any of the Preferred Stock held by a Holder, and such Holder shall not have the right to convert any of the Preferred Stock held by such Holder pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Certificate of Designation and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, such Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)) collectively would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 7(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Corporation is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section l 3(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7(d) applies, the determination of whether the Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the Holder’s Preferred Stock is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Conversion shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether the Holder’s Preferred Stock is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of the Holder’s Preferred Stock is convertible, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Corporation shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 7(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Corporation’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (8) a more recent public announcement by the Corporation or (C) a more recent written notice by the Corporation or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Corporation shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including the Preferred Stock, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder in compliance with this Section 7(d) prior to the issuance of any Preferred Stock, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Holder’s Preferred Stock. The Holder, upon notice to the Corporation, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 7(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 7(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61 st day after such notice is delivered to the Corporation. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 7(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of shares of Preferred Stock.
| -4- |
(e) Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(f) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall round down to the next whole share of Common Stock.
(g) Transfer Taxes and Expenses. The issuance of Conversion Shares shall be made without charge to any Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such Conversion Shares, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such Conversion Shares upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holders of such shares of Preferred Stock and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such Conversion Shares unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid. The Corporation shall pay all transfer agent fees required for same-day processing of any Conversion and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Conversion Shares.
| -5- |
(h) Certain Adjustments.
i. Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Preferred Stock is outstanding: (A) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; or (B) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then the Conversion Ratio shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) outstanding immediately after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation). Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(g) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment to the Conversion Ratio, the Corporation, at its expense, shall, as promptly as reasonably possible but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, compute such adjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and furnish to each Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based. The Corporation shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the written request at any time of any Holder (but in any event not later than five (5) Business Days thereafter), furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) the Conversion Ratio then in effect and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which then would be received by such Holder upon conversion.
ii. Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100 of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding
8. Redemption Right. The Preferred Stock shall not have any redemption rights.
9. Miscellaneous.
(a) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers, and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given: (a) when delivered by hand (with written confirmation of receipt); (b) when received by the addressee if sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier (receipt requested); (c) on the date sent by facsimile or e-mail of a PDF document (with confirmation of transmission) if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, and on the next business day if sent after normal business hours of the recipient; or (d) on the third day after the date mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Such communications must be sent (a) to the Corporation, at its principal executive offices and (b) to any stockholder, at such holder’s address at it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (or at such other address for a stockholder as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9).
(b) Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of a Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
(c) Transfer of Preferred Stock. A Holder may transfer some or all of its shares of Preferred Stock without the consent of the Corporation so long as such transfer complies with all applicable securities laws.
(d) Amendment. This Certificate of Designation or any provision hereof may be amended by obtaining the affirmative vote at a meeting duly called for such purpose, or written consent without a meeting in accordance with the Nevada Revised Statutes, by a majority of the Holders, voting separate as a single class, and with such other stockholder approval, if any, as may then be required pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes or the Articles of Incorporation.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
NEXTTRIP, INC.
| Warrant Shares: 8,333 | Issue Date: April 15, 2026 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, KC Global Media Asia, LLC or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time or times which is six (6) months after the Issue Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on October 15, 2029, the three (3) year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from NextTrip, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to 8,333 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated April 15, 2026, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $3.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Cashless Exercise. Alternatively, this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:
(A) = as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;
| 2 |
(B) = the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and
(X) = the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.
If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Warrant Shares shall take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this Section 2(c).
d) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
| 3 |
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vi. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
| 4 |
e) Holder’s Exercise Limitations.
i. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder in compliance with this Section 2(d) prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.
| 6 |
d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.
e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
| 7 |
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
| 8 |
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(c)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c), in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
| 9 |
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that the right to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
| 10 |
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT
NEXTTRIP, INC.
| Warrant Shares: 9,091 | Issue Date: May 8, 2026 |
THIS COMMON STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT (the “Warrant”) certifies that, for value received, KC Global Media Asia LLC or its assigns (the “Holder”) is entitled, upon the terms and subject to the limitations on exercise and the conditions hereinafter set forth, at any time or times on or after the Issue Date (the “Initial Exercise Date”) and on or prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on May 8, 2029, the three (3) year anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date (the “Termination Date”), but not thereafter, to subscribe for and purchase from NextTrip, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), up to 9,091 shares (as subject to adjustment hereunder, the “Warrant Shares”) of Common Stock. The purchase price of one share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be equal to the Exercise Price, as defined in Section 2(b).
Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated May 8, 2026, among the Company and the purchasers signatory thereto.
Section 2. Exercise.
a) Exercise of Warrant. Exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant may be made, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the Initial Exercise Date and on or before the Termination Date by delivery to the Company of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Exercise in the form annexed hereto (the “Notice of Exercise”). Within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined in Section 2(c)(i) herein) following the date of exercise as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver the aggregate Exercise Price for the Warrant Shares specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise by wire transfer or cashier’s check drawn on a United States bank unless the cashless exercise procedure specified in Section 2(c) below is specified in the applicable Notice of Exercise. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation as soon as reasonably practicable of the date on which the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the number of Warrant Shares purchased and the date of such purchases. The Company shall deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise within one (1) Trading Day of receipt of such notice. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
b) Exercise Price. The exercise price per share of Common Stock under this Warrant shall be $3.00, subject to adjustment hereunder (the “Exercise Price”).
c) Mechanics of Exercise.
i. Delivery of Warrant Shares Upon Exercise. The Company shall cause the Warrant Shares purchased hereunder to be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Holder without volume or manner-of-sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144, and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price is received by the Warrant Share Delivery Date. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.
| 2 |
ii. Delivery of New Warrants Upon Exercise. If this Warrant shall have been exercised in part, the Company shall, at the request of a Holder and upon surrender of this Warrant certificate, at the time of delivery of the Warrant Shares, deliver to the Holder a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder to purchase the unpurchased Warrant Shares called for by this Warrant, which new Warrant shall in all other respects be identical with this Warrant.
iii. Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Holder the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2(c)(i) by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.
iv. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which the Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such exercise, the Company shall, at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Exercise Price or round up to the next whole share.
v. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees required for same-day processing of any Notice of Exercise and all fees to the Depository Trust Company (or another established clearing corporation performing similar functions) required for same-day electronic delivery of the Warrant Shares.
vi. Closing of Books. The Company will not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
| 3 |
d) Holder’s Exercise Limitations.
i. Beneficial Ownership Limitation. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant, and a Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to Section 2 or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Notice of Exercise, the Holder (together with the Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Holder or any of the Holder’s Affiliates (such Persons, “Attribution Parties”)), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation (as defined below). For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates and Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by such Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (i) exercise of the remaining, nonexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties and (ii) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any other Common Stock Equivalents) subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein beneficially owned by the Holder or any of its Affiliates or Attribution Parties. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 2(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged by the Holder that the Company is not representing to the Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the Holder is solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 2(d) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable shall be in the sole discretion of the Holder, and the submission of a Notice of Exercise shall be deemed to be the Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant is exercisable (in relation to other securities owned by the Holder together with any Affiliates and Attribution Parties) and of which portion of this Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 2(d), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written or oral request of a Holder, the Company shall within one Trading Day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder or its Affiliates or Attribution Parties since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.99% (or, upon election by a Holder in compliance with this Section 2(d) prior to the issuance of any Warrants, 9.99%) of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant. The Holder, upon notice to the Company, may increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 2(d), provided that the Beneficial Ownership Limitation in no event exceeds 9.99% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of this Warrant held by the Holder and the provisions of this Section 2(d) shall continue to apply. Any increase in the Beneficial Ownership Limitation will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 2(d) to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

Section 3. Certain Adjustments.
a) Stock Dividends and Splits. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon exercise of this Warrant), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) issues by reclassification of shares of the Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then in each case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be proportionately adjusted such that the aggregate Exercise Price of this Warrant shall remain unchanged. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.
b) Subsequent Rights Offerings. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 3(a) above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
c) Pro Rata Distributions. During such time as this Warrant is outstanding, if the Company shall declare or make any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including, without limitation, any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) (a “Distribution”), at any time after the issuance of this Warrant, then, in each such case, the Holder shall be entitled to participate in such Distribution to the same extent that the Holder would have participated therein if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on exercise hereof) immediately before the date of which a record is taken for such Distribution, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the participation in such Distribution.
| 5 |
d) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company (or any Subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another Person or group of Persons whereby such other Person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or more than 50% of the voting power of the common equity of the Company (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of this Warrant, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Warrant Share that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant), the number of shares of Common Stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the exercise of this Warrant). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction. The Company shall cause any successor entity in a Fundamental Transaction in which the Company is not the survivor (the “Successor Entity”) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3(d) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder (without unreasonable delay) prior to such Fundamental Transaction and shall, at the option of the Holder, deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock of such Successor Entity (or its parent entity) equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction), and which is reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Holder. Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall be added to the term “Company” under this Warrant (so that from and after the occurrence or consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, each and every provision of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to each of the Company and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally), and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally with the Company, may exercise every right and power of the Company prior thereto and the Successor Entity or Successor Entities shall assume all of the obligations of the Company prior thereto under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if the Company and such Successor Entity or Successor Entities, jointly and severally, had been named as the Company herein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Holder shall be entitled to the benefits of the provisions of this Section 3(d) regardless of (i) whether the Company has sufficient authorized shares of Common Stock for the issuance of Warrant Shares and/or (ii) whether a Fundamental Transaction occurs prior to the Initial Exercise Date.
e) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 3 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 3, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.
| 6 |
f) Notice to Holder.
i. Adjustment to Exercise Price. Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 3, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Warrant Shares and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
ii. Notice to Allow Exercise by Holder. If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries) is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of its assets, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be delivered by email to the Holder at its last email address as it shall appear upon the Warrant Register of the Company, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice. To the extent that any notice provided in this Warrant constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the Commission pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. The Holder shall remain entitled to exercise this Warrant during the period commencing on the date of such notice to the effective date of the event triggering such notice except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein.
Section 4. Transfer of Warrant.
a) Transferability. Subject to compliance with any applicable securities laws and the conditions set forth in Section 4(d) hereof and to the provisions of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant and all rights hereunder (including, without limitation, any registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto duly executed by the Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within three (3) Trading Days of the date on which the Holder delivers an assignment form to the Company assigning this Warrant in full. The Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith, may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
| 7 |
b) New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the Issue Date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
c) Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose (the “Warrant Register”), in the name of the record Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.
d) Transfer Restrictions. If, at the time of the surrender of this Warrant in connection with any transfer of this Warrant, the transfer of this Warrant shall not be either (i) registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii) eligible for resale without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions or current public information requirements pursuant to Rule 144, the Company may require, as a condition of allowing such transfer, that the Holder or transferee of this Warrant, as the case may be, comply with the provisions of Section 5.7 of the Purchase Agreement.
e) Representation by the Holder. The Holder, by the acceptance hereof, represents and warrants that it is acquiring this Warrant and, upon any exercise hereof, will acquire the Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise, for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Warrant Shares or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted under the Securities Act.
Section 5. Miscellaneous.
a) No Rights as Stockholder Until Exercise; No Settlement in Cash. This Warrant does not entitle the Holder to any voting rights, dividends or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise hereof as set forth in Section 2(c)(i), except as expressly set forth in Section 3. Without limiting any rights of a Holder to receive Warrant Shares on a “cashless exercise” pursuant to Section 2(c), in no event shall the Company be required to net cash settle an exercise of this Warrant.
b) Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. The Company covenants that upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant or any stock certificate relating to the Warrant Shares, and in case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it (which, in the case of the Warrant, shall not include the posting of any bond), and upon surrender and cancellation of such Warrant or stock certificate, if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Warrant or stock certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation, in lieu of such Warrant or stock certificate.
| 8 |
c) Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
d) Authorized Shares. The Company covenants that, during the period the Warrant is outstanding, it will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of any purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of issuing the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed. The Company covenants that all Warrant Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant will, upon exercise of the purchase rights represented by this Warrant and payment for such Warrant Shares in accordance herewith, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).
e) Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Warrant shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
f) Restrictions. The Holder acknowledges that the Warrant Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Warrant, if not registered, will have restrictions upon resale imposed by state and federal securities laws.
g) Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that the right to exercise this Warrant terminates on the Termination Date. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Purchase Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Holder, the Company shall pay to the Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.
| 9 |
h) Notices. Any notice, request or other document required or permitted to be given or delivered to the Holder by the Company shall be delivered in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
i) Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
j) Remedies. The Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
k) Successors and Assigns. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and the rights and obligations evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the successors and permitted assigns of Holder. The provisions of this Warrant are intended to be for the benefit of any Holder from time to time of this Warrant and shall be enforceable by the Holder or holder of Warrant Shares.
l) Amendment. This Warrant may be modified or amended or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and the Holder of this Warrant, on the other hand.
m) Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Warrant shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Warrant shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Warrant.
n) Headings. The headings used in this Warrant are for the convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Warrant.

The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by such Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of such Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by such Purchaser, and when delivered by such Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Understandings or Arrangements.

| 9 |
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time such Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, and on each date on which it converts any Preferred Shares, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience of Such Purchaser. Such Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
(e) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

(g) General Solicitation. Such Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(h) Restrictions Regarding Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and acknowledged by the Purchaser that: (i) the Purchasers have been asked by the Company and the Purchasers agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by any Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; and (iii) any Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any such Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may not have a “short” position in the Common Stock. The Purchasers further acknowledge that (y) the Purchasers may not engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value of the Conversion Shares deliverable with respect to Securities are being determined, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted.

ARTICLE IV.
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
4.1 Removal of Legends.
(a) The Preferred Shares and Conversion Shares may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of a Purchaser or in connection with a pledge as contemplated in Section 4.1(b), the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration under the Securities Act.
(b) The Purchasers agree to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares in the following form:
NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THIS SECURITY IS CONVERTIBLE OR EXERCISABLE HAS BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OR EXERCISE OF THIS SECURITY MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT WITH A REGISTERED BROKER-DEALER OR OTHER LOAN WITH A FINANCIAL INSTITUTION THAT IS AN “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” AS DEFINED IN RULE 501(a) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
| 11 |
(c) Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares shall not contain any legend (including the legend set forth in Section 4.1(b) hereof): (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, if any, or (ii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Transfer Agent or the Purchaser promptly if required by the Transfer Agent to effect the removal of the legend hereunder, or if requested by a Purchaser, respectively. If all or any portion of a Preferred Share is converted into shares of Common Stock at a time when there is an effective registration statement to cover the resale of the Conversion Shares, or if such Conversion Shares may be sold under Rule 144 or if such legend is not otherwise required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission) then such Conversion Shares shall be issued free of all legends. The Company agrees that following such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 4.1(c), the Company will, no later than the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period (as defined below) following the delivery by a Purchaser to the Company or the Transfer Agent of a certificate representing Conversion Shares issued with a restrictive legend (such date, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to the Transfer Agent that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4. Conversion Shares subject to legend removal hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Purchaser by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company System as directed by such Purchaser. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Trading Market with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of a certificate representing shares issued with a restrictive legend.
4.2 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the Exchange Cap as well as rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.
4.3 Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Notice of Conversion included in the Certificate of Designation set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Purchasers in order to convert the Preferred Shares.
4.4 Use of Proceeds. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5 attached hereto, the Company shall use the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder for working capital purposes and shall not use such proceeds for the redemption of any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents.
4.5 Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may then be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.
4.6 Listing of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to use best efforts to maintain the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on the Trading Market on which it is currently listed. The Company shall, if applicable: (i) in the time and manner required by the principal Trading Market submit an additional shares listing application covering the Conversion Shares, and (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such shares of Common Stock to be approved for listing or quotation on such Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter. The Company agrees to maintain the eligibility of the Common Stock for electronic transfer through the Depository Trust Company or another established clearing corporation, including, without limitation, by timely payment of fees to the Depository Trust Company or such other established clearing corporation in connection with such electronic transfer.
4.7 Form D; Blue Sky Filings. The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof, promptly upon request of any Purchaser. The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Securities for, sale to the Purchasers at the Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon request of any Purchaser.
4.8 Restrictions on Conversions and Exercises. Each Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that the Preferred Shares may not be converted into Conversion Shares unless and until such time as the Company has lifted the Exchange Cap. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that Buyer shall bear the economic risk of loss associated with holding the Preferred Shares pending the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.9.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right. Any proposed amendment or waiver that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Purchaser relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Purchasers shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Purchaser.

Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any Proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such Proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such Proceeding.

5.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or a Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
5.16 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.17 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and shares of Common Stock in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the date of this Agreement.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date to the Company as follows (unless as of a specific date therein, in which case they shall be accurate as of such date):
(a) Organization; Authority. The Purchaser is either an individual or an entity duly incorporated or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation with full right, corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited liability company or similar action, as applicable, on the part of the Purchaser. Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.
(b) Understandings or Arrangements. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities. The Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring such Securities as principal for his, her or its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling such Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell such Securities pursuant to a registration statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws).
(c) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Securities, it was, and as of the date hereof it is, an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7), (a)(8), (a)(9), (a)(12), or (a)(13) under the Securities Act.
(d) Experience of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
| 11 |
(e) Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(f) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with the Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that the Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case that the Purchaser is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of the Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of the Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to the Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, the Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.
(g) General Solicitation. The Purchaser is not purchasing the Securities as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Securities published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to the knowledge of such Purchaser, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
(h) Restrictions Regarding the Purchaser’s Trading Activity. Anything in this Agreement or elsewhere herein to the contrary notwithstanding, it is understood and acknowledged by the Purchaser that: (i) the Purchaser has been asked by the Company and the Purchaser agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling short, securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities based on securities issued by the Company; (ii) past or future open market or other transactions by the Purchaser, specifically including, without limitation, Short Sales or “derivative” transactions, before or after the closing of this or future private placement transactions, may negatively impact the market price of the Company’s publicly-traded securities; and (iii) the Purchaser, and counter-parties in “derivative” transactions to which any the Purchaser is a party, directly or indirectly, presently may not have a “short” position in the Common Stock. The Purchaser further acknowledges that (y) the Purchaser may not engage in hedging activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, and (z) such hedging activities (if any) could reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interests in the Company at and after the time that the hedging activities are being conducted. The Purchaser acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging activities constitute a breach of the Transaction Documents.
| 12 |
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in this Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty, or preclude any actions, with respect to locating or borrowing shares in order to effect Short Sales or similar transactions in the future.

5.14 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations contained in the Transaction Documents and hereby agree to waive and not to assert in any Action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
5.15 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Purchaser pursuant to any Transaction Document or the Purchaser enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

5.17 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto.
