<div id="readability-page-1"><article>Reduces Annual Cash Burn and Positions Company for AI-Driven Growth Miami, Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Core AI Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHAI) (“Core AI” or the “Company”), a global AI driven mobile games developer and publisher, today announced that it has simultaneously signed and closed a definitive agreement to divest Siyata Mobile Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Siyata”). This transaction is effective immediately and represents a completed strategic action to streamline operations and concentrate capital and resources on Core AI’s core artificial intelligence initiatives. “As we continued to deepen our focus on artificial intelligence, it became clear that the anticipated technology and commercial synergies with Siyata did not materialize,” said Aitan Zacharin, CEO of Core AI Holdings, Inc. “The divestiture eliminates approximately $12 million in annual cash burn, materially reduces losses and simplifies our balance sheet. Furthermore, it also better aligns our asset base with our core AI strategy, strengthens our financial profile and allows us to direct capital and resources to higher-return opportunities we believe will drive sustainable shareholder value.” Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Core AI is entitled to receive aggregate consideration consisting of initial consideration of $100,000 in cash, and earn-out consideration consisting of three separate annual earn-out payments. Each earn-out payment will equal the greater of $200,000 or 1% of gross revenue generated by Siyata during each applicable earn-out period, as reported in audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. “With the divestiture of Siyata complete, Core AI is operating with a leaner cost structure and a clearer growth mandate,” Zacharin added. “We are now positioned to more aggressively invest in advancing our AI platform and pursue targeted growth initiatives that we believe can scale efficiently. By improving operating leverage and sharpening our strategic focus, we see a compelling opportunity to drive sustained revenue growth and long-term shareholder value.” Pro Forma Financial Impact Based on unaudited pro forma financial information as of September 30, 2025, the divestiture has the following impact on Core AI’s financial profile: Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was reduced from $12.5 million to $4.8 million, representing an $8.7 million improvement, primarily driven by the removal of Siyata operating expenses. Total assets decreased from $51.6 million to $31.6 million, reflecting a $20.0 million reduction associated with the divested business. Total liabilities decreased from $22.4 million to $18.3 million, a $4.1 million improvement, further strengthening the Company’s balance sheet. About Core AI Holdings, Inc.
