Payfare Inc. Launches Pronto Providing Earned Wage Access to Canadians Payfare Inc. announced the launch of its new EWA product, Pronto by PayfareTM. Pronto provides Canadian workers with on-demand access to their earned wages, providing them with financial flexibility to manage income and expenses. Pronto, built on Payfare's award winning payout platform, allows employees to access a portion of their wages as they earn, rather than waiting for traditional pay cycles. This ensures that employees can manage unexpected expenses, reduce financial stress and have greater control over their financial well-being. There are over 10 million hourly-paid employees in Canada1 that make up a significant portion of Canada's labour force, especially in industries reliant on shift work or part-time employment. These sectors face challenges in recruiting and retaining skilled workers, where almost half of businesses report difficulties with staff retention2. This underscores the importance of solutions like EWA to support financial flexibility for workers, while helping employers improve workforce stability. Pronto can have significant benefits for employers, including enhanced employee retention, productivity and overall job satisfaction. Offering modern financial solutions like EWA can be a competitive advantage for employers looking to attract talent in today's tight labour market. Employers across Canada can now integrate Pronto seamlessly into their payroll process. Major Estimate Revision • Nov 13

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 2.0% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Price Target Changed • Jun 24
