Argo Corporation Provides Update on Smart Routing Transit Infrastructure Argo Corporation, a leader in next-generation transit solutions, shared an update and recap on its Smart Routing technology, a transit infrastructure solution that connects riders to public transit more conveniently while helping cities extend the reach and efficiency of their transit networks. Cities around the world are facing growing traffic and congestion pressures, and need to move more people out of cars and into public transit systems. But the first-and-last-mile gap creates challenges for both residents and municipalities. For Residents: Time spent walking to the bus stop, waiting outside, and transferring between lines can make public transit less accessible to many residents including seniors, people with mobility needs, and those farther from fixed-route stops. Cars and ridesharing offer convenience but are costly and add to traffic. For Municipalities: High-capacity fixed-route transit can be highly efficient along major corridors, but it is not designed to cost-effectively pick residents up at their door. Argo’s proprietary Smart Routing solution is a turnkey transit infrastructure platform combining fully electric buses, charging infrastructure, routing software, and end-to-end operational systems. It is designed to address the first-and-last-mile challenge for both residents and municipalities, with increasing efficiency as ridership grows and Argo’s smart infrastructure scales. For Residents: Argo provides on-demand pickups at their door in fully electric, accessible buses for a standard transit fare. Riders can travel point-to-point or connect into high-capacity fixed-route transit lines for longer trips. For Municipalities: Argo’s system is designed to grow ridership by extending the reach of existing transit networks into the first and last mile. The solution integrates with existing fare systems and fixed-route transit lines, while its predictive routing technology groups passengers efficiently, supporting higher vehicle utilization and more cost-effective service. Argo has demonstrated two flexible deployment models for its Smart Routing transit system: augmenting an existing large-scale municipal transit network in a major city, and delivering a full municipal transit network in a smaller town. Augmenting Existing Transit Networks: Argo launched its Smart Routing transit system in downtown Brampton, where an established large-scale transit network already exists but the first-and-last-mile gap remains a challenge for many residents. The service picks riders up from their door for point-to-point trips or connections to Brampton Transit and GO Transit lines through an on-demand, fully electric service integrated with Ontario’s PRESTO fare system. Delivering a Full Municipal Transit Network: Argo’s Smart Routing transit system fully replaced the Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury’s fixed-route bus system, which had previously been operated by a private contractor. The Company reported that average daily transit ridership more than doubled within two months of the April 2025 launch, with a more than 50% reduction in cost-per-ride when compared to BWG’s fixed routes the previous year.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (15% average weekly change). Revenue is less than US$5m (CA$1.6m revenue, or US$1.1m).

New major risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 48% This is considered a major 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$4.8m free cash flow). Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (48% increase in shares outstanding). Minor Risks Revenue is less than US$5m (CA$1.9m revenue, or US$1.3m).

New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 113% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (113% accrual ratio).

The global Delivery as a Service market, valued at USD 18.7Bn in 2020, is expected to grow at 18.9% CAGR for the period 2021-20271, making it one of the high-growth sectors in today's global economy. This growth has been accelerated by the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and goes beyond food deliveries, spanning nearly all categories of consumer products. This megatrend presents qualified providers like STEER with a potentially-lucrative opportunity to increase market presence and significantly increase revenues. STEER's DaaS offering leverages the assets and technology developed by the Company through its existing on-demand offerings. Specifically, introduction of DaaS enables the Company to draw on its tech stack, operational expertise, and its existing infrastructure--including drivers--to deliver a nimble, agile, cost efficient, and customizable product. STEER's tech-driven delivery management software integrates directly with the merchant's Point of Sale ("POS") solution and provides visibility, KPI controls and data processing. Moreover, STEER leverages its built-in data science algorithms to analyse daily demand cycles for each individual offering and to streamline resource allocation. In the future, this data will be utilized to identify cross-selling opportunities within the STEER platform and provide customers with analytics, metrics and data that quantify their carbon reduction efforts. STEER's DaaS offering also capitalizes on synergies with its existing on-demand services through a shared driver fleet. For drivers, this means potentially higher earnings through an additional revenue stream, minimized idle time, and the convenience of managing fewer apps on their phone. For the Company, introduction of the DaaS functionality results in greater operational efficiencies through unified driver acquisition, training and optimized marketing spend across the platform. The Company feels these operational efficiencies will translate into economies of scale as STEER's DaaS onboards more vendors and launches operations in new geographies. Duyuru • May 07

Facedrive Inc. Announces Steer Electric Vehicle Subscription Service Launched in Toronto Facedrive Inc. announced that the Company has successfully launched Steer, the Company’s electric vehicle (“EV”) subscription service in Toronto, Ontario, and delivered its first batch of vehicles to customers. Canadian consumers now have access to Steer’s innovative subscription-based Transportation as a Service (“TaaS”) business model. Originally launched in Washington, DC and currently operating with over 130 EV and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (“PHEVs”), Facedrive has brought the platform home to Toronto, which will serve as the Canadian launch pad for Steer. Steer, a technology-driven EV/PHEV subscription platform, was acquired by Facedrive from Exelorate Enterprises LLC, a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation in September 2020. Incubated within and backed by Exelon, a Fortune 100 company and the producer of clean energy in the United States, Steer was created to challenge the traditional car purchase and ownership model and accelerate the general public’s switch over to environmentally friendly transportation through an automobile subscription service. The official Steer App for Toronto has now been launched in IOS and Android app stores, making month-to-month subscriptions available to Torontonians. Steer’s all-in subscription price for an EV vehicle includes driver essentials such as insurance, routine maintenance and repair, and a concierge service that removes the hassle of car ownership and enables seamless vehicle swaps. In the first phase of the Toronto launch, Steer’s fleet consists of Tesla Model Y and Model 3 vehicles for the “Practical Member” tier and Tesla Model X and Model S vehicles for the “Premier Member” tier. The Toronto market response has already resulted in over 1,000 registrations to date, as well as a growing number of deposits from subscribing customers. Following this initial launch phase, Steer plans to scale up operations to expand across Canada and the USA. EV vehicle options are growing significantly on an annual basis, presenting Steer as the ideal solution for consumers to explore and select the EV vehicle that fits their lifestyle. This announcement of Steer’s launch in Canada comes on the heels of the growing public attention to the issue of climate change and governments’ intensifying efforts to mitigate these effects. As an ESG ecosystem, Facedrive has voiced its commitment to addressing environmental, social and governance concerns since its inception, and will continue working towards a better future alongside responsible governments, businesses and individuals. The Company’s Steer vertical provides strategic synergy to Facedrive’s other verticals including Facedrive Rideshare and Facedrive Foods, with Steer’s business model strongly aligning with Facedrive’s ESG mandate and focus on the environmentally conscious consumer. Capitalizing on the ongoing dramatic shift in the automotive industry and consumer behavior patterns, Steer has embraced the rising global trends of environmental consciousness and a sharing economy. The compelling story behind Steer’s vision is combined with excellent customer service standards and a commitment to operational excellence. Reported Earnings • May 03

Facedrive Inc. Announces its Division Facedrive Health Partners with Safe-Tech Training Inc Facedrive Inc. announced that its division Facedrive Health has partnered with Safe-Tech Training Inc. to deliver Facedrive’s innovative COVID-19 contact tracing technology platform TraceSCAN to organizations across Canada. The partnership synergistically combines Facedrive Health’s expertise in contact tracing technology and implementation with Safe-Tech’s proven track record in delivering safety training and consulting to safety-focused clients which include many blue-chip brands. The TraceSCAN technology was developed leveraging existing Facedrive proprietary technology in an effort to offer ongoing support in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The platform features unique Bluetooth wearable technology integration and has been endorsed by the Government of Ontario. TraceSCAN devices exchange encrypted ID’s when they are in close proximity, thereby anonymously back-tracing possible contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 while ascribing a data-backed high, medium or low risk of contraction based on contact. Being Bluetooth (as opposed to GPS), TraceSCAN features safeguards that better assure user data privacy and security. Unlike mobile application-based solutions, TraceSCAN’s wearable devices make contact-tracing available for workers who are unable to carry cell phones during the course of their work due to safety concerns, such as construction workers. TraceSCAN has received a very positive response in the Canadian B2B market several months into its implementation at multiple client sites across Canada. The partnership between Facedrive Health and Safe-Tech comes at an opportune time. As companies continue their essential operations amid the pandemic’s fall and winter “second wave”, they are seeking innovative and reliable ways to protect their employees. Safe-Tech will provide consulting services to companies to assist them in customizing the TraceSCAN solution to meet their needs. Safe-Tech training also has an established reputation in providing safety training to, among others, Fortune 500 companies and governmental agencies. The partnership between Facedrive Health and Safe-Tech training, is expected to provide TraceSCAN ready access to these clients. Duyuru • Dec 13

The University of Waterloo team headed by Professor Patricia Nieva and Professor William Melek has showcased the significance of using Artificial Intelligence in the field of contact tracing. The Waterloo team was able to identify contact histories of up to the 4th degree when a user tests positive for COVID-19. The TraceSCAN team believes that this feature will significantly reduce the risk of an outbreak within an organization. Currently, the team is working on enhancing this feature to assign a risk factor to each employee within an organization when a user tests positive based on the degree of contact, proximity and duration of interaction.
