Details for Shareholders: New Business Model and Potential Impact

CapForce Inc. will offer fintech-enabled digital investment banking services targeting high-growth, mid-sized private companies seeking public market listings and capital markets advisory services. The company’s primary focus will be on listing stocks with market capitalizations between \$1 billion and \$10 billion, particularly those underserved by large, established “bulge bracket” investment banks.

As part of its growth strategy, CapForce intends to develop and deploy an AI-powered digital investment banking platform. This platform will facilitate:

• Cross-border securities activities
• AI-powered robo-advisory services
• Technology-driven capitalization table management solutions

The timing and implementation of these initiatives will depend on market conditions and regulatory approvals.

In addition, CapForce Inc. is pursuing fintech-enabled and AI-driven asset and wealth management services for its core investment banking clients worldwide, aiming to expand its service offering and generate new revenue streams.

CapForce’s controlling shareholder is AEI Capital Group, an Asia-based alternative asset management group with over \$7 billion in assets under management (AUM). AEI Capital focuses on global growth equity (both private and public markets) and also manages private credit, hedge funds, funds-of-funds, and real estate strategies. The group’s international presence spans Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, London, and Washington D.C.

Potential Price-Sensitive Information

• Ticker symbol change and rebranding may result in increased investor attention and trading liquidity, which can impact share price volatility.
• Strategic pivot to fintech-enabled investment banking and AI-driven solutions positions the company in a high-growth sector, which may positively affect valuation if execution is successful.
• Execution Risks: The company has highlighted risks related to the implementation of operational, legal, and administrative changes, as well as potential confusion among customers, partners, or investors and the costs associated with rebranding and strategic transition. These could cause results to differ from expectations and may be material to shareholders.
• Market and Regulatory Dependencies: The timing and success of new platform launches and service rollouts depend on market conditions and regulatory approvals, introducing uncertainty into the company’s growth trajectory.
