Spetz Inc. Announces Divestiture of Legacy Spetz App Business to Streamline Operations and Focus on SonicStrategy

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / June 4, 2025 / Spetz Inc. (the "Company" or "Spetz") (CSE:SPTZ)(OTC PINK:DBKSF) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement, signed on June 3, 2025, for the sale of its legacy operating business, the Spetz app platform, along with all associated liabilities and subsidiaries, including its holdings in Spetz Tech Ltd. (Israel), to Mr. Josepf Nevo.

This divestiture marks a strategic shift for the Company as it pivots fully toward its blockchain infrastructure subsidiary, SonicStrategy Inc., now positioned as the primary business focus of Spetz. The transaction will remove legacy liabilities from the Company's balance sheet and allow Spetz to redeploy its resources toward expanding its presence within the Sonic blockchain ecosystem through validator infrastructure, staking, and DeFi strategy deployment.

"This transaction allows us to cleanly exit a business that no longer aligns with our strategic direction," said Mitchell Demeter, CEO and Director of Spetz. "By removing the operational and financial burden of the legacy Spetz app, we can now dedicate our full attention to scaling SonicStrategy into a premier public-market vehicle for blockchain infrastructure and innovation."

The consideration for the transfer of all shares and interests in the aforementioned subsidiaries to Mr. Nevo is CDN$1.00 since, by acquiring the shares of the subsidiaries, Mr. Nevo acquired, indirectly, the associated assets and liabilities of the legacy Spetz operating entities. No further liabilities related to the divested entities will remain on Spetz's balance sheet.

In addition, and concurrently with the divestiture, Mr. Nevo and Mr. Ofir Friedman agreed to release the Company from all outstanding debts, liabilities and obligations owing by the Company to Messrs. Nevo and Friedman, including those owing or arising under any existing convertible debenture or any severance entitlement pursuant to any contract of any of them entered into with the Company. The aggregate value of the release of such obligations is approximately $476,400 USD.

Mr. Nevo is not an officer or director of the Company, however he is an officer and director of the legacy Spetz operating entities and therefore may be considered a "related party" of the Company for the purposes of applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules. Accordingly, the divestiture of the legacy Spetz operating entities to Mr. Nevo constitutes a related party transaction, but is exempt from the formal valuation and minority approval requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101") as the Company's securities are not listed on any stock exchange identified in Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 and the fair market value of the legacy Spetz operating entities sold to Mr. Nevo under the agreement does not exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days before the divestiture as the parties just completed the negotiations of the terms of the agreement.

No finder's fees were paid in connection with this transaction.

Further updates will be provided as Spetz continues to execute on its new strategic vision.
