Metavista3D raises CDN$6,000,000 for commercialization

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 17, 2026) - Metavista3D Inc. (TSXV: DDD) (FSE: E3T) (" Metavista3D " or the " Company ") is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding term sheet (the " Term Sheet ") dated August 7, 2026 with arm's length institutional investors Sorbie Bornholm LP and Sorbie Investments LLP (together, " Sorbie " or "investors"), pursuant to which the Company will complete a non-brokered private placement for approximately CDN$6,000,000 (the " Offering ") before giving effect to the Sharing Agreement (as defined below), which may result in the Company actually receiving an amount that is greater or less than such notional subscription amount.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to advance commercialization of its glasses-free 3D display technology, including product development and OEM business development, to support its patent portfolio and for general working capital and corporate purposes.

The Offering will consist of the issuance of 18,750,000 units of the Company (each, a " Unit ") at a price of CAD$0.32 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of one common share of the Company (each, a " Share ") and one common share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a " Warrant ").

Closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about August 28, 2026, and is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including negotiation and execution of definitive documentation and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the " TSXV ").

"This financing gives us the capital to keep building without slowing down," said Dino Minichiello, Interim CEO of Metavista3D. "Sorbie's model lines up with how we think about growth - capital that scales with performance rather than diluting it upfront. We're focused on advancing our glasses-free 3D display platform and the broader human performance applications of our technology, and this partnership supports that work."

"Metavista3D's technology is a remarkable leap forward and a striking experience compared to other 3D tech I've seen. They turn an ordinary screen into true 3D with no glasses or headset, and they have a clear, partner-driven plan to bring it to market. The Sharing Agreement gives them the opportunity to access additional, non-dilutive cash so the team can accelerate growth. This is also a full-circle moment for Sorbie: Founder and CEO Greg Kofford invested in a 3D glasses home unit in the 1990s. We are glad to be back in the 3D space to support Metavista3D as they advance and commercialize," said Whitney Kofford, Managing Director of Sorbie Bornholm.

4,687,500 Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of CAD$0.44 for a period of three years following the closing date of the Offering. 14,062,500 Warrants shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Share at an exercise per Share that is a 10% premium to the preceding 20-day volume weighted average price from the date of issuance, for a period of three (3) years from the date of issuance The Warrants will include an equity blocker provision that prohibits the holder from exercising any portion of the Warrants if such exercise would result in the holder owning more than 9.99% of the Company's outstanding Shares on a partially diluted basis.

Pursuant to the Term Sheet, the notional subscription amount of the Offering is expected to be satisfied in cash or by way of a portfolio of UK government bonds at market value, with the investors assuming all market and foreign exchange risk associated with any such bond portfolio. The Term Sheet contemplates that the parties will enter into an escrow agreement, subscription agreements and warrant documentation in connection with the Offering, and that the Company and the investors will enter into a sharing agreement based on 14,064,698 Shares at a benchmark price of CAD$0.4266 per Share, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances (the " Sharing Agreement "). Any securities delivered into escrow in connection with the Offering are expected to be released from escrow to the investors on closing.

Under the Sharing Agreement, no funds will be immediately available to the Company on closing and no funds will be held in escrow. Instead, the Company's economic interest will be determined in 24 monthly settlement tranches measured against the benchmark price, with the first monthly settlement tranche payable one month after closing occurs. If, at the time of settlement, the applicable settlement price, determined monthly based on the volume-weighted average trading price for the 20 trading days prior to the settlement date, exceeds the benchmark price, the Company will receive more than 100% of the applicable monthly settlement amount on a pro rata basis. If the settlement price is below the benchmark price, the Company will receive less than 100% of the applicable monthly settlement amount on a pro rata basis. In no event will a decline in the settlement price of the Shares result in an increase in the number of Shares issued to the investors. Investors are cautioned that, in the event that Sorbie were to experience adverse financial circumstances, the Company may be exposed to significant risk, as Shares have been issued and there can be no assurance that the anticipated payments under the Sharing Agreement will be fully received. Additional details about the Offering structure will be provided in the closing news release.

All securities issued pursuant to the Offering and subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements, all securities to be issued pursuant to the Offering in jurisdictions outside of Canada and the United States pursuant to Ontario Securities Commission Rule 72-503 - Distributions Outside Canada will not be subject to any statutory hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws.

The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or available exemptions from such registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in the United States, or in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
