common share at a price of $0.10 each for a period of one (1) year
from the date of issuance. The expiry of the Warrants may be

Exchange approval, and all securities are subject to a
four-month-and-one-day hold period. Finder fees may be payable in
connection with the private placement, all in accordance with the
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
Ex-CEO Marshall Outreach to Bernard
Lonis Chairman
Over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of May 2024,
in what was a surprise call, the Company's ex-CEO, Mr. Steve
Marshall, reached out to the Company Chairman, Mr. Lonis.
Shareholders should note that Mr. Marshall remains a significant
shareholder of the Company. Over the two days, the two spoke for
almost 3 hours about numerous matters, including the sudden
resignation of the Company CEO, Mr. McMillan.
About Steve Marshall Ex-CEO of
RevoluGROUP Canada Inc.
The following paragraph is exclusively for
shareholders who joined the Company after 28th July 2023. Mr.
Marshall served as CEO of the Company for over seven years, from
March 21st, 2016, to July 28th, 2023. He is primarily known as the
visionary, architect, and principal strategic investor in what
became the Company's international NeoBANK infrastructure, having
taken on the challenging role as CEO of what was in 2016 a defunct
Canadian TSX Venture listed mining shell with approximately $CA 17
million shareholder debt. During Mr. Marshall's tenure, the Company
attained a market capitalization of over 100 million Canadian
dollars, obtained EU Central Bank PSD2 financial licenses, Central
Bank PSD2 Branch Rights Granted in 27 EU Countries, Canadian
FinTRAC, Florida, USA, MSB license, Visa Inc. partnership, along
with too many other notable achievements to list here but are
disclosed comprehensively on Sedar and under the news section of
our corporate website. As a notable testament to Marshall's tenure,
in February 2023, the TSX Venture Canadian Stock Exchange inducted
RevoluGROUP into the distinguished Top 50 publicly listed
Companies, situating the Company within the prestigious top 3% of
all 1713 publicly traded Canadian companies. Sadly, shortly after
that, multiple physicians instructed Mr. Marshall to reduce stress
urgently. Ultimately, his rapidly deteriorating health forced him
to step down as CEO in July 2023 due to prolonged and persistent
pulmonary complications, including numerous hospitalizations,
diagnosed during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) tests in August
2023 with a final prognosis of impaired lung function due to
coronary artery calcium build-up linked to oxidative stress and
systemic inflammation, causal in the pathogenesis of
atherosclerosis. Thankfully, in recent times, with the help of top
physicians, Mr. Marshall has gained significant ground via
intensive treatment allied to a strict regimen.
Mr Marshall's Three-Step Proposal to the
Board of Directors
During the conversation with Chairman Bernard
Lonis, Mr. Marshall conveyed his openness to considering resuming a
possible leadership role at RevoluGROUP, including possibly
participating as a lead participant in the Company's
today-announced private placement. However, Marshall's strict terms
discussed for almost 3 hours and meticulously compiled during the
call would require not only board ponderance and a signed Board of
Directors resolution, essentially acquiescing to Mr. Marshall's
entire obligations, but, more importantly, also include seeking
written external sourced Canadian Regulatory approval from both
Canadian Capital Markets regulatory bodies before he would consent
to consider reinstatement, private placement investment or eventual
recommencement of active executive management duties. In short, Mr.
Marshall has made it clear that he will not invest in the private
placement nor consider any executive function until the key phases
below are entirely approved and ratified satisfactorily:
Phase 1
- The RevoluGROUP
Canada Inc., every board of directors member, agrees unanimously to
a compensation package exclusively via issuing corporate shares for
debt for an initial period of six calendar months. The monthly
stipend will also be reduced to 1000 Canadian dollars for each
board member during the prescribed initial term. The incoming
interim CEO would lead by example, assuming the cited
compensation.
- The Company
obtains Canadian Regulatory approval from BOTH Capital Markets
regulatory bodies approving in writing a proposed unconstrained
reassumption of Marshall as interim CEO, along with an equally
positively sanctioned tenure of Mr. McMillan, all from a purely
regulatory standpoint. These provisions ensure that the CEO can
immediately concentrate on resolving urgent corporate matters,
fomenting a clear path forward, and securing financing, including
shareholder value, rather than attending to extraneous issues that
can be time-consuming, detrimental to shareholders, stressful and
unrelated to bringing the desired rapid positive corporate outcomes
and subsequent shareholder value.
- The RevoluGROUP
Canada Inc. board of directors agrees to take immediate measures to
ensure expenditure reductions at RevoluPAY EP S.L. to the point
that the wholly-owned subsidiary in Barcelona will become cash flow
positive through its autonomous operations by November, 30th, 2024.
The intent is to stem the repeated outflow of capital from the
parent into the RevoluPAY S.L subsidiary while concentrating on
core revenue sources to achieve break-even at RevoluPAY S.L
Barcelona.
- The RevoluGROUP
Canada Inc. board of directors agrees unanimously to permit the
interim CEO to solicit at least 40 supplementary state MSB licenses
in the United States and pursue the upcoming regulatory
requirements for Open Banking licensing in Canada. The intent is to
reconfigure corporate objectives towards an amplified presence in
the world's largest economy—the United States.
- RevoluGROUP
Canada Inc., under Marshall's request, the board of directors
agrees unanimously to admit the return of Gavin McMillan to
collaborate alongside Marshall in a yet-to-be-disclosed role to
pursue those above-denoted North American corporate ambitions.
Phase 2
Presuming every point imposed
in Phase 1 is accomplished, Steve Marshall will reassume the role
of interim CEO pending the outcome of Phase 3. Furthermore, to
resolve the Company's contemporary financial distress, Marshall
would immediately place a lead order in the current corporate
financing, including a good faith partial first-tranche closing of
said private placement.
Phase 3
A public shareholder vote should be held before
Marshall even considers accepting a return to the role of
definitive Corporate CEO. Marshall does not wish the board to
impose a renewed tenure upon shareholders without their majority
blessing and tallied vote being public information. Furthermore,
presuming many shareholders are still those who invested during
Marshall's extended 7-year tenure, those shareholders should be
given the option to vote for Marshall's return in support of his
professional legacy at RevoluGROUP. If, conversely, Marshall does
not prevail in the proposed shareholder vote, he agrees to assist
the Company as interim CEO until a new CEO is named.
Concluding statement from Mr.
Lonis
We are hopeful about Mr. Marshall's surprise
proposal and his familiar, forthright demeanor during our call.
However, I must state there can be no guarantee Marshall will
return as interim CEO, invest in the current private placement, or
return in any capacity at RevoluGROUP Canada Inc. unless all of his
demands are met. The board and I must discuss these this week.
Marshall told me he is traveling extensively but agreed to call me
back at 5 pm CET on Friday, the 10th of May, to obtain our answers.
As the board's chairman, I wish to assure shareholders that I will
discuss Mr. Marshall's demands with my board colleagues and ask our
corporate counsel to immediately reach out to BOTH Capital Markets
regulatory bodies as stated above.
