Acquisition of Warehowz Inc.

On January 30, 2026, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Warehowz Inc., a Virginia corporation (“Warehowz”) whereas the Company acquired the equity interests of Warehowz for a total consideration of $176,786 plus a payment of 8.5% of net revenue plus 40% of the net income, for each of the 12 months ended December 31, 2026, and 2027. Warehowz provides access to over 2500 warehousing and fulfillment facilities to shippers across the United States and Canada. The Company feels that this acquisition will complement the shipping label generation services currently provided by ShipTime by offering a complete, discounted fulfillment solution.  Additionally, overlap of the customer base will allow for marketing and cross selling of future services on the Paid and ShipTime platforms. The acquisition is considered a business combination under ASC 805. The transaction was funded by an assumption of liabilities which was paid in a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s stock based on the closing price as of the acquisition date. The contingent consideration represents a revenue-based earnout of accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other post close expenses.
