TORONTO, ON — December 23, 2025 — Leads & Copy — Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQX:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS), an AI-first event technology and digital engagement company, has updated shareholders on its acquisition of Krafty Labs, an AI-driven event engagement and experiential technology company serving global enterprise customers.
The company confirmed the due diligence process has been completed, and the acquisition of Krafty Labs is scheduled to close on January 2, 2026, pending CSE approval and customary closing conditions.
Krafty Labs has a blue-chip customer base and approximately $1.2 million in year-to-date 2025 revenue with 72% gross margins. Management believes this acquisition enhances Nextech3D.ai’s AI-first event platform and expands its reach into enterprise and association customers.
Evan Gappelberg, Chief Executive Officer of Nextech3D.ai, has committed to invest $321,917 directly into the Company through an 18-month convertible note bearing 12% annual interest. Gappelberg already is the company’s largest shareholder owning 32 million shares.
Key terms of the CEO investment include:
- Term: 18 months
- Interest Rate: 12% per annum
- Conversion Option: The note may be converted into 2,299,412 common shares at a fixed conversion price of $0.14 per share at the CEO’s discretion.
- Warrants Issued: The CEO will receive 2,299,412 common share purchase warrants as compensation.
Warrant terms include an exercise price of $0.165 per share and a term of three years.
Mr. Gappelberg will continue to be the Company’s largest shareholder, currently owning 32,757,017 common shares.
The transaction is a related party transaction under Multilateral Instrument 61-101. The Company is relying on exemptions from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 because the transaction does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The transaction is subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE).
Management believes this insider investment reflects confidence in Nextech3D.ai’s strategy, execution, and long-term growth prospects.
The combination of Krafty Labs’ enterprise-grade engagement capabilities with Nextech3D.ai’s existing event technology stack is expected to increase average contract values, customer relationships, and monetization opportunities across in-person, virtual, and hybrid events.
Evan Gappelberg said the acquisition of Krafty Labs, combined with his personal investment, represents a vote of confidence in Nextech3D.ai’s direction and execution. He added that with due diligence complete and a closing date set, the company is focused on integrating Krafty Labs and accelerating growth while building long-term shareholder value.
With the Krafty Labs acquisition set to close on January 2, 2026, Nextech3D.ai continues to advance its strategy of building a comprehensive, AI-powered event technology platform through acquisitions, organic growth, and insider investment.
