Following completion of the Proposed Transaction, Credissential (the “ Resulting Issuer ”) will continue the business of Orbit2Orbit, as described below.   THE REVERSE TAKEOVER TRANSACTION Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, Credissential has agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding Orbit2Orbit Securities by way of one or more definitive exchange offers (the “Exchange Offers ”) made to the holders of Orbit2Orbit Securities (the “ Orbit2Orbit Securityholders ”) .  While it is intended that the Proposed Transaction will be completed by way of the Exchange Offers, the final acquisition structure will be determined by Credissential and Orbit2Orbit to accommodate efficiencies for various legal structures, tax and accounting treatment and securities regulation.   As consideration for the acquisition of all of the outstanding Orbit2Orbit Securities, the Orbit2Orbit Securityholders will receive one (1) common share in the capital of the Resulting Issuer (the “ Resulting Issuer Shares ”) for each outstanding ordinary share in the capital of Orbit2Orbit (each, an “ Orbit2Orbit Share ”) , or such other exchange ratio as mutually agreed to by Credissential and Orbit2Orbit based on the final valuation reflected in the Exchange Offers (the “ Exchange Ratio ”).

ABOUT Orbit2Orbit Orbit2Orbit is a space logistics infrastructure company engaged in the development and commercialization of in-space logistics services and supporting hardware in Low Earth Orbit (“ LEO ”). Orbit2Orbit’s business is intended to address the current absence of a persistent station-to-station logistics capability in LEO.   Orbit2Orbit’s core offering is intended to develop in three progressive stages.

Orbit2Orbit’s current commercial activity is the “Lab2Space” pathfinder program (the “ Lab2Space Program ”), which provides stratospheric and suborbital test-flight services to third-party payload customers delivered using launch capacity procured from third-party launch providers and using Orbit2Orbit’s standardized payload housing unit (PHU) and Stacked Payload Interface and Node Element (SPINE) interfaces. Orbit2Orbit is also developing a small orbital demonstrator vehicle through Mission 0, which is being designed to validate controlled orbital operations and rendezvous, proximity operations and docking (RPOD) behaviour. Further, through Mission 1, Orbit2Orbit intends to develop a reusable orbital vehicle and an associated station-side servicing interface, which is intended to support payload transport, deployment, retrieval, inspection and refueling operations between in-orbit assets.   Orbit2Orbit was incorporated on February 17, 2025 in Australia pursuant to the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Commonwealth of Australia).

Orbit2Orbit’s head office is located at Unit 12 / 10 Louis Crt, Coomera 4209, Gold Coast,  Queensland, Australia. Orbit2Orbit PRIVATE PLACEMENT On or prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction, Orbit2Orbit, through a special purpose financing vehicle to be incorporated by Orbit2Orbit (“ Finco ”), intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the “ Orbit2Orbit Private Placement ”) of subscription receipts (“ Subscription Receipts ”) at a price of $0.80 for estimated gross proceeds of not less than $8,000,000, or such other amount as may be acceptable to Orbit2Orbit and the CSE.   Each Subscription Receipt shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent such waiver is permitted) of certain escrow release conditions (the “ Escrow Release Conditions ”) prior to the date that is 120 days from the closing of the Orbit2Orbit Private Placement, including all conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction being satisfied, and without payment of additional consideration or further act or formality on the part of the holder thereof, one (1) common share in the capital of Finco (each, a “ Finco Share ”) and one-half of one (1/2) warrant to purchase a Finco Share (each whole warrant, a “ Finco Warrant ”). Upon completion of the Proposed Transaction, each whole Finco Share and whole Finco Warrant will be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Shares and warrants to purchase Resulting Issuer Shares (each, a “ Resulting Issuer Warrant ”), respectively, at the Exchange Ratio.

The gross proceeds of the Orbit2Orbit Private Placement will be deposited in escrow and shall only be released from escrow to Finco upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions immediately prior to closing of the Proposed Transaction. The gross proceeds of the Orbit2Orbit Private Placement are expected to be used to fund research and development related to the Lab2Space Program and advancement of Mission 0, and for general working capital purposes.   The Subscription Receipts will be offered for sale to purchasers in Canada and internationally pursuant to available private placement exemptions, in the United States only to eligible U.S. Accredited Investors or Qualified Institutional Buyers pursuant to Rule 506(b) or Rule 506(c) of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act, as determined by Finco, and similar exemptions under applicable state securities laws, and in offshore jurisdictions pursuant to available prospectus and registration exemptions in accordance with applicable laws. If Finco determines to rely on Rule 506(c) of Regulation D for any offer or sale in the United States, Finco will take reasonable steps to verify that each such purchaser is a U.S. Accredited Investor before accepting such purchaser’s subscription.   No Finco Warrant, Finco Finder Warrant or Resulting Issuer Warrant may be exercised in the United States or by, or for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person unless the securities issuable upon exercise have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or are issued pursuant to an available exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such registration requirements.   In connection with the Orbit2Orbit Private Placement, it is currently anticipated that certain finders will be entitled to receive, in connection with investors introduced by the finder to Orbit2Orbit, (a) a cash commission equal to 5% of the aggregate gross proceeds of the Orbit2Orbit Private Placement purchased by such investors; and (b) such number of Finco Warrants (each whole warrant, a “ Finco Finder Warrant ”) as is equal to 5% of the aggregate number of Subscription Receipts issued to such investors.

Each Finco Finder Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) Resulting Issuer Share at a price of $1.50 per share for a period of 24 months following the satisfaction or waiver of the Escrow Release Conditions. No commission, fee or other transaction-based compensation will be paid in connection with any offer or sale of Subscription Receipts in the United States unless Finco has determined, after consultation with counsel, that such payment may be made in compliance with applicable U.S. federal and state broker-dealer registration requirements.   The terms of the Orbit2Orbit Private Placement may change depending on market conditions.
