Alset AI Announces Proposed Maturity Extension to Five Years and Update to Loan Transaction of up to $3 Million

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / July 20, 2026 / Alset AI Ventures Inc. (TSXV:GPUS)(OTCQB:GPUSF)(FSE:1R60, WKN:A40M0J) ("Alset AI" or the "Company"), an artificial intelligence ("AI") venture company advancing innovation through strategic investment and cloud computing solutions, is pleased to provide an update to its previously-announced loan transaction with Mr. Randy Gilling (the "Lender") in the principal amount of up to $3,000,000 (the "Transaction"). Further to its press release dated April 24, 2026 (the "April 24 Release"), as of the date hereof, the Lender has advanced $695,000 to the Company in two Tranches closed on February 24, 2026 and April 2, 2026. As further described in the April 24 Release, the Company was required to submit, and has submitted, a new application to the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV") for approval to complete additional tranches (each, a "Tranche") pursuant to the Transaction.

The Lender will purchase, in multiple additional Tranches, up to an additional 2,305 non-convertible debentures of the Corporation (each, a "Debenture", and collectively, the "Debentures") at a price of $1,000 per Debenture, in the aggregate principal amount of up to an additional $2,305,000.

The Debentures will bear interest at a rate of 6.0% per annum from the applicable issuance date (each, an "Issuance Date"), payable quarterly in arrears on each of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. The interest obligation may be satisfied either in cash or Common Shares, in the Company's sole discretion, subject to the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV"). The Debentures will mature on the date that is five years following the applicable Issuance Date (each, a "Maturity Date"). The Debentures will be governed pursuant to the terms of a debenture indenture dated February 24, 2026 (the "Indenture") entered into between the Company and Endeavor Trust Corporation, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The Company and the Trustee intend to enter into a first supplemental indenture to the Indenture to modify the Maturity Date in previous tranches and for future tranches from three (3) years to five (5) years from the Issuance Date.

In consideration for each Tranche, the Company has agreed to issue to the Lender certain non-transferrable warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") on or about the closing of each Tranche, subject to the approval of the TSXV. The number of Warrants issuable on or about each Issuance Date shall equal the dollar amount of the principal amount of Debentures issued on the applicable Issuance Date, divided by the Exercise Price (as defined below). Each Warrant will be exercisable for a period of three (3) years: (i) in cash at a price per Common Share equal to the greater of: (A) $0.30; and (B) the last closing price of the Common Shares prior to the issuance of the news release fixing the price for the applicable Tranche (the "Exercise Price"); or (ii) via a "cashless exercise" feature based on an agreed-upon formula.

In the event that the principal amount pursuant to any Tranche is repaid in whole or in part within one year of the applicable Issuance Date, the Maturity Date for such number of Warrants that are proportionate to the amount so repaid shall be reduced to the later of: (i) one year from the applicable Issuance Date; and (ii) 30 days from such reduction of repayment of the principal amount. If the exercise of Warrants would cause the Lender to acquire more than 19.99% of the Common Shares, subject exercise cannot occur without the prior approval of (i) the disinterested shareholders of the Company; and (ii) the TSXV.

The funds received pursuant to the Transaction are expected to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes in order to provide the Company with additional financial capabilities as it continues to advance its AI infrastructure strategy, including supporting the growth of its flagship cloud compute business, Lyken.AI.

The Transaction remains subject to the final approval of the TSXV.
