Waskahigan Oil & Gas Corp. Announces Letter of Intent Regarding Business Combination with Private.Ki

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 15, 2026 /CNW/ — Waskahigan Oil & Gas Corp. (“Waskahigan” or the “Company“) (CSE: WOGC), is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding letter of intent dated September 14, 2026 (the “Letter of Intent“), with Private.Ki Ltd. (“Private.Ki“) to complete a business combination transaction (the “Proposed Transaction“).  Private.Ki provides an encrypted communication SuperApp unifying email, chat, and messenger in a single private space. The Proposed Transaction, if completed, will result in the business of Private.Ki becoming the business of the Company.

Completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including, but not limited to, completion of due diligence, negotiation and execution of a definitive transaction agreement (the “Definitive Agreement“), shareholder approval, Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE“) approval and the receipt of any other required approvals. The Proposed Transaction cannot be completed until these conditions are satisfied, and there can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed at all.

The parties intend to apply for the listing for trading of the common shares of the issuer resulting from the Proposed Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer“) on the CSE as of the effective time of completion of the Proposed Transaction (the “Closing Date“). In connection with the Proposed Transaction, the Company is contemplating a consolidation of its common shares on the basis of four pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidation common share (the “Consolidation“).

Pursuant to the Letter of Intent, the Company has agreed to pay CAD$2.5 million to the shareholders of Private.Ki (the “Target Shareholders“) on the Closing Date with CAD$500,000 payable in cash and CAD$2 million payable by the issuance of post-Consolidation common shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares“) at $0.60 per Consideration Share. Subject to the achievement of certain business milestones by December 31, 2028, an additional CAD$14 million may be payable by the issuance of post-Consolidation shares on or before April 30, 2029 (the “Milestone Shares“) at an issue price equal to the greater of $0.60 per Milestone Share and the minimum price permitted by the CSE at the time of issuance.

The parties also intend to complete an interim financing in connection with the Proposed Transaction, the terms of which have not been settled. The final details of the Proposed Transaction, Consolidation, purchase price, and interim financing will be settled and included in the Definitive Agreement. The parties are targeting execution of a Definitive Agreement by October 31, 2026.

The Proposed Transaction and the terms thereof were negotiated at arm’s length. The Proposed Transaction is expected to constitute a “Fundamental Change” as defined in the policies of the CSE.

On completion of the Proposed Transaction, it is expected that the board of directors of the Resulting Issuer will consist of five (5) directors: Thomas Schroeter, Ross Ewaniuk, Jamil Kassam and two additional nominees of Private.Ki. Thomas Schroeter will be appointed Chief Executive Officer and President of the Resulting Issuer and Stephen Brohman will continue as Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. Ross Ewaniuk will resign as Interim Chief Executive Officer, and Stephen Brohman will resign as a director, in each case on completion of the Proposed Transaction. These appointments will be subject to acceptance by the CSE.

The full terms of the Proposed Transaction and the details of any interim financings required to complete the Proposed Transaction will be provided in future news releases in accordance with CSE policies.
