(TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the close of the private placement offering (the “Offering”) previously announced on June 8, 2023. At the close, Visionstate raised $500,000 through the issuance of 25,000,000 units ("Units") at a price of $0.02 per Unit.

In addition, regarding the minority shareholder approval exemptions, the independent directors have determined that the exemptions set out in paragraphs (1)(a) and (b) in section 5.7 of MI 61-101 are applicable in that the aggregate consideration to be paid by the related parties will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of Visionstate, the distribution of the securities to the related parties will have a fair market value of not more than $2,500,000 and Visionstate is not listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, but only on the TSX Venture Exchange.

Visionstate and NEDlabs Join Forces to Revolutionize People Counting with Time-of-Flight Sensors
EDMONTON, Alberta - July 6, 2023 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) Visionstate IoT Inc., a pioneer in IoT (Internet of Things) technology for facility management, and NEDlabs (NEDlabs.ca), a leading provider of industrial IoT and builder of smart home solutions, are proud to announce their collaboration on a cutting-edge project that will change the way people counting is performed. The project involves the integration of NEDsense Time-of-Flight (“ToF”) sensors, developed by NEDlabs, into Visionstate’s WANDA™ platform which tracks cleaning and maintenance activities in public and private facilities.
People counting is a critical aspect of many industries, including retail, hospitality, and events management, as it helps businesses to understand foot traffic and make data-driven decisions. The current methods of people counting, such as infrared sensors and video cameras, can be expensive, unreliable, and provide inaccurate results. With the integration of NEDsense ToF sensors, Visionstate is aiming to provide a more accurate solution that will help businesses make more informed decisions.
"We're thrilled to be collaborating with NEDlabs on this exciting project," said Shannon Moore, President of Visionstate IoT Inc. "By integrating time of flight sensors into our platform, we can provide our customers with a more accurate and reliable solution for people counting. This will have a significant impact on the way businesses operate and make data-driven decisions."
The ToF sensors use advanced technology to measure the time it takes for a light signal to travel from the sensor to the target and back, providing a highly-accurate measurement of distance. This technology has been proven to provide accurate results even in challenging environments, such as crowded spaces or areas with high levels of ambient light.
"We're moving quickly with NEDlabs on this project," said Moore. "The NEDsense Time-of-Flight sensors are at the forefront of sensor technology, and we're confident that their integration into our platform will provide a game-changing solution for people counting."
Visionstate is investing further into connected sensors which will expand the Company’s customer base while offering a larger suite of products.
About NEDlabs
NEDlabs is a leading provider of industrial IoT and builder of smart home solutions, offering a wide range of products and services designed to make systems more effective, convenient, and intelligent. With a focus on innovation, speed to market, and customer satisfaction, NEDlabs is committed to providing the best solutions for its clients.

Visionstate Portfolio Company Exceed Solar Announces Name Change to Sol Spaces, Focuses on High-Tech Greenhouses and Sustainable Living Spaces
EDMONTON, Alberta - March 16, 2023 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its portfolio company Exceed Solar Inc. is changing its name to Sol Spaces Inc., effective immediately. The rebranding reflects the company's shift towards high-tech greenhouses and sustainable living spaces that integrate cutting-edge solar and Internet of Things (IoT) technology.
Sol Spaces Inc. (Sol Spaces) is committed to helping individuals and businesses reduce their carbon footprint while still living comfortably. By combining the latest advancements in solar energy and IoT technology with innovative designs and sustainable materials, Sol Spaces creates modern living and growing spaces that are environmentally friendly and energy-efficient.
"Exceed Solar has always been dedicated to creating sustainable solutions, and we're excited to continue that mission under our new name, Sol Spaces," said company President Elliott Putters. "We believe that technology has the power to make a positive impact on the environment, and we're committed to using it to build a better, more sustainable future."
Sol Spaces' high-tech greenhouses offer a unique approach to sustainable agriculture, utilizing advanced automation and IoT technology to optimize plant growth and increase yields. With the ability to extend the growing season, Sol Spaces' greenhouses can help reduce food waste, increase food security, and promote local agriculture.
"The creation of garden suites and secondary suites is a great way to help increase the supply of affordable housing in our city while preserving the character of our established neighbourhoods,” said Naheed Nenshi, former Mayor of Calgary, Alberta.
Due to the increasing cost of homes and the relative shortage of affordable homes in the major Canadian markets, laneway homes or garden suites are becoming a more viable option.
As Sol Spaces, the company is committed to continuing its legacy of sustainable solutions while exploring new frontiers in green technology. Its new name reflects the dedication to creating innovative spaces that are not only sustainable but also offer a high standard of living.
Currently, Sol Spaces is developing a community-based food network in Edmonton, Alberta to help ease the burden of rising food costs. The $40,000 project is also designed to build more resilient communities with the capacity to grow food locally.
The first installation will be at the Alberta Avenue Community League, which recently celebrated its 100th anniversary. The 240-square-foot Sol Greenhouse is powered by 1.2 kw/h of solar energy and features a heat/cooling pump that helps maintain constant temperatures. The greenhouse also features IoT technology with sensors that measure environmental conditions and growing performance. Sol Spaces would like to thank Bunzl Canada for their generous donation to this community-based project.
In addition to greenhouses, Sol Spaces is also focused on creating sustainable living spaces that are both functional and beautiful. Their innovative designs use energy-efficient materials and integrate cutting-edge solar technology, resulting in homes and commercial spaces that are both stylish and sustainable.
Visionstate Corp. owns 40% of Sol Spaces through debenture financing in 2018 and 2021.

Visionstate Announces Rollout of AI for its WANDA™ Application
EDMONTON, Alberta - February 8, 2023 - Visionstate Corp. (TSXV: VIS) (“Visionstate” or the “Company”) Visionstate IoT Inc., wholly-owned subsidiary of Visionstate, a leading provider of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for the facility management sector, is proud to announce the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into its WANDA™ application. With its AI partner, Fluido.ai, Visionstate is taking the next step in its journey to provide customers with cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions.
The WANDA™ application, which provides real-time monitoring and tracking of cleaning and maintenance activities, will now include AI “chatbot” capabilities that will enhance its functionality and provide users with a more efficient and effective experience. The AI algorithms developed by Fluido.ai will allow WANDA™ to analyze large amounts of data and make automated decisions, providing users with real-time insights and predictions that were previously unavailable.
For those who are not familiar with AI technology and why integrating it with the WANDA™ application is so exciting, here is a practical example:
User: (using keystrokes or voice command) - "WANDA™ (the AI), tell me how many times in the last month a cleaning was missed?"
WANDA™ (AI): (answer will be received by User in 10 seconds or less) - "In the month of January two cleanings were missed in the men's and women's restrooms on the first floor of the West Wing. Overall, the staff was 98% compliant with the cleaning protocols."
“The chatbot can interact with customers on the website, the phone, Meta Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.; the business operator only needs to glance at one dashboard to see the total picture regarding its customer interactions through various channels,” said Wessam Gad El-Rab, Chief AI Officer and co-founder of Fluido.ai.
"We are thrilled to be working with Fluido.ai and incorporating their AI expertise into our WANDA™ application," said Visionstate IoT Inc. President, Shannon Moore. "This collaboration allows us to bring the latest technology to our customers, providing them with "state-of-the-art” analytics and data in real-time."
With the integration of AI, Visionstate is positioning itself as a leader in the IoT space and is committed to providing customers with innovative and effective solutions. The Company is dedicated to providing its customers with the best possible experience, and the incorporation of AI will help it to achieve this goal.
