NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES

POMPANO BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / June 13, 2024 / Xcyte Digital Corp. (TSXV:XCYT) ("Xcyte" or the "Company"), a spatial computing event technology aggregator and developer that provides a high value, cost-effective, multi-platform event technology subscription service that powers physical, virtual, hybrid and immersive events, and professional managed services for physical and hybrid events, announces that it has entered into a share exchange and asset purchase agreement dated June 12, 2024 (the "Agreement") with MCON Live Inc., a Nevada corporation ("MCON"), pursuant to which, among other things, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xcyte will acquire 5% of the common stock of MCON (the "MCON Shares") and 100% of MCON's online business (the "Transaction"). MCON is a veteran-owned company that hosts various annual events that bring the military community together through a celebration of military culture.

As consideration for the Transaction, Xcyte will issue MCON 50 multiple voting shares in the capital of Xcyte (each an "MV Share") each of which is convertible into 10,000 subordinate voting shares in the capital of Xcyte (each an "SV Share"), subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, for a total of 500,000 SV Shares, in exchange for the MCON Shares and certain intangible assets related to MCON's online business. Following the closing of the Transaction (the "Closing"), MCON will receive 25% of the revenue generated by such online business, after deducting all third-party expenses, sales commissions and other direct costs.

All securities issued in connection with the Transaction will be subject to a hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws of four months and one day from the date of issuance and will be restricted securities under United States securities laws. None of the securities will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States or "U.S. Persons" (as such term is defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act), unless registered under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration is available. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the securities will be also subject to a voluntary escrow for up to 18 months.

The parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to close the Transaction within 30 days of the execution of the Agreement. The Closing is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions, including the approval of the board of directors of the Company, the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), and the completion of due diligence by the Company. No finder's fees will be paid in relation to the Transaction, which has been negotiated at arm's length.

MCON's next live event is expected to be held on October 24, 2024, and will be a global event powered by Xcyte Digital, enabling an immersive/hybrid format for the first time in its history. The event is expected to feature a wide range of activities and attractions, including live music and performances, speakers and exhibits, cultural experiences, curated culinary and beverage experiences, family-friendly activities, and networking opportunities. Experiences are expected to include the MCON Wellness Village, Gaming Pavilion, Possibilities Expo, Military Impact Summit and more.

"We are thrilled to be able to leverage Xcyte to bring MCON to a global audience. Our last event had over 1,500 attendees, but we have so many in our community who cannot attend in person due to their obligations at home or service abroad and they will now have the opportunity to attend virtually and experience the magic of MCON. This also gives MCON the power to reach the estimated 5.4 million veterans and their families who have a disability and enable them to attend virtually," said Todd Brockman, Co-Founder & CEO of MCON.

"MCON expands our service offerings towards the highly engaged military veteran community," said Xcyte Digital CEO, Randy Selman. "Xcyte Digital is proud to partner with our veterans, and we look forward to expanding MCON's reach to draw in greater numbers of active military personnel and veterans."
