December 2, 2025 — Leads & Copy — ARway Corporation (CSE:ARWY)(OTCQB:ARWYF) has entered into a definitive agreement with Nextech3D.ai (CSE:NTAR)(OTCQX:NEXCF)(FSE:1SS) for Nextech to acquire all outstanding common shares of ARway not already owned by Nextech.
Under the terms of the Definitive Agreement dated December 1, 2025, Nextech, which currently owns approximately 15 million ARway Shares, or roughly 40% of the 38.6 million outstanding shares, will acquire the remaining shares.
The move reunites ARway with Nextech3D.ai and Map Dynamics (“Map D”), paving the way for a platform integrating AI, AR navigation, and large-scale event technology.
ARway’s no-code AR navigation technology using visual marker tracking has applications across enterprise, retail, and venue-based sectors. ARway expects that rejoining with Nextech3D.ai will provide:
Streamlined operations and reduced overhead by consolidating into Nextech’s technology ecosystem, eliminating duplicate administrative and operational costs.
Accelerated product innovation through ARway’s AR navigation system being integrated directly into Map D’s event suite. Map D currently supports hundreds of events annually, with features including interactive floor plans, exhibitor tools, ticketing, badge printing, mobile apps, AI matchmaking, and blockchain ticketing.
A unified event and navigation platform with Nextech’s AI and 3D modeling, ARway will be part of an end-to-end platform covering event setup and management, AI-powered attendee/exhibitor matchmaking, AR and AI navigation inside venues, and ticketing, payment technologies, and blockchain tools. The companies believe this will position ARway’s technology for broader adoption within the global events and enterprise navigation sectors.
Nextech management also holds an additional roughly 20% stake in ARway, reflecting what the company says is alignment and long-term commitment to ARway’s success.
ARway was initially incubated within Nextech before being spun out and listed independently in 2022. The platform enables indoor navigation without beacons, GPS, or hardware, powered by visual markers and AI. After the transaction closes, ARway will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nextech3D.ai, with its AR navigation tools integrated into the Map D ecosystem.
ARway CEO Evan Gappelberg said the transaction sets ARway on an accelerated path forward and unlocks a larger commercial opportunity for its AR navigation technology within an AI-powered unified event platform.
Upon completion of the transaction, ARway shareholders will receive 19,866,921 Nextech Shares on a pro-rata basis, based on an exchange ratio of approximately 0.514 Nextech Shares for each ARway Share. The deemed price is C$0.083 per ARway Share and C$0.161 per Nextech Share. The implied valuation of ARway is roughly C$3.2 million.
Following completion, ARway shareholders are expected to own approximately 8.1% of Nextech Shares on a non-diluted basis. ARway Shares will be delisted from the CSE at closing.
The transaction requires ARway shareholder approval, CSE approval, and customary closing conditions. Additional details will be in the management information circular filed on SEDAR+.
ARway is described as a platform specializing in augmented reality (AR) and AI-driven solutions for event management, venue navigation, and attendee engagement. MapD, also mentioned in the release, is an event management platform offering a suite of tools for event planning and execution.
