UPDATES TO THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
At closing of the Proposed Transaction, it is anticipated that the Resulting Issuer will change its name to "Seegnal Inc.", or such other name as may be determined by the Corporation and Kalron, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Corporation, the Exchange and any other relevant regulatory authorities.
Mikal Ltd. and Edtom Ltd., two of Kalron's existing shareholders, are no longer anticipated to participate in the previously announced non-brokered private placement of Kalron of up to 5,000,000 subscription receipts at $0.80 per subscription receipt for aggregate proceeds up to $4,000,000 (or such greater amount as may be determined by Reem and Kalron) (the "
Kalron Financing
"). Additionally, Mikal Ltd. and Edtom Ltd. have provided loans to Kalron in the aggregate principal amount of up to $637,880, each bearing an annual interest rate of 10%. The shareholder loans mature and are repayable on June 1, 2027 and can be repaid in full, with any accrued unpaid interest, in advance of such maturity date with no penalty at the option of Kalron upon 14 days' notice provided that the principal amount and any unpaid accrued interest will be due immediately on demand of Kalron does not complete the Proposed Qualifying Transaction by June 1, 2026. Each of Mikal Ltd. and Edtom Ltd. are expected to be a Principal and Insider (as such terms are defined in the policies of the Exchange) of the Resulting Issuer following closing of the Proposed Transaction, as it is anticipated that they will each have beneficial ownership of, or control or direction over, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the outstanding common shares of the Resulting Issuer ("
Resulting Issuer Shares
"). Mikal Ltd. and Edtom Ltd., on a combined basis, will hold, directly, 50.12% of the Resulting Issuer Shares following closing of the Proposed Transaction.
It is intended that the Proposed Transaction will constitute a reverse take-over of the Corporation by Kalron inasmuch as the former shareholders, debentureholders and other securityholders of Kalron will own approximately 78.66% of the outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares (on an undiluted basis), which such calculation does not factor in the completion of the Kalron Financing nor any financial advisory services securities being issued at closing of the Proposed Transaction.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS OF KALRON AND SEEGNAL
In 2023, Seegnal finished an actual live proof of concept in a hospital, demonstrating the capability of its newest product (expansion of the base product), providing precision medication recommendations while reducing adverse drug reactions. With that, Seegnal is one of the few companies worldwide that can provide end-to-end precision medication recommendations with significantly reduced adverse drug reactions, both because of contraindications and patient-to-medication interaction.
In December 2023, Kalron signed a pilot agreement with Supra Inwest for the piloting and subsequent further distribution of the Seegnal system in Poland. Poland has a substantial healthcare infrastructure with over 250,000 hospitalization beds, ranking it as one of the largest healthcare systems in Europe in terms of monetary value. The Seegnal platform is currently a "standard of care" system for over 10,000 clinicians who use it daily to prescribe medications to their patients. The product scans over one million therapies every day.
In January 2024, Seegnal signed a new SaaS license agreement with Leumit Health Services, a large health maintenance organization in the State of Israel, for a five year term. The agreement is based on usage rather than a periodic fixed fee and is expected to generate higher revenues for Seegnal.
In August 2024, Kalron entered into a non-exclusive distribution agreement with Digitals OYT Ltd. ("
Digitals
"), for Digitals to market and license Seegnal's clinical decision-support system in the UK. In November 2024, Digitals secured access for Seegnal's system to the UK Government's G-Cloud 14 framework which will allow UK public sector organizations, including NHS trusts, hospitals, and clinics, to procure Seegnal's "Virtual Digital Pharmacist" through a streamlined process. The UK's NHS is responsible for one of the largest public healthcare systems in Europe, which includes 515 hospitals and 390,000 doctors. The G-Cloud 14 framework, managed by the Crown Commercial Service, facilitates public sector procurement of pre-approved cloud software and services, allowing organizations to bypass lengthy tender processes.
In 2024, Seegnal designed precision medication product capabilities to become a B2C stand-alone product.
Seegnal primarily operates in Israel and the UAE, while actively pursuing business expansion opportunities in the United Kingdom and Poland. Two of Israel's four health maintenance organizations are using the system by virtue of long-term licensing agreements in national deployment as well as one of the largest hospital facilities in the country pursuant to a public tender process win. The largest hospital in Tel Aviv is due to complete its onboarding of Seegnal by April 2025.
ABOUT KALRON
Kalron is a privately-held holding corporation that was established under the laws of Israel in 2017. Kalron is the sole shareholder of Seegnal, an Israeli based corporation which had operated under Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd. ("
Teva
") until its purchase by Kalron in December 2017.
Seegnal was founded in 2015 as a fully owned subsidiary of Teva to develop a clinical decision support system software for clinicians at the point of care, aimed at improving patient care and outcomes, improving clinician experience and substantially lower healthcare expenditures. Seegnal provides patient-tailored SAAS system for one-glance managing and mitigating drug related problems while providing decision support to healthcare professionals at the point of care. Seegnal has developed, owns and is marketing a SAAS based software platform of addressing the need of detecting and solving drug-related problems, which has been determined as the fourth leading cause of mortality in developed countries.[1] Seegnal's SAAS based software platform is a patient-tailored, clinicians'-friendly drug-related problem solution. Seegnal exclusively integrates at the point-of-care, unique patient specific data like genetics, food, results of lab tests, ECG, smoking and the effects of many concomitant medications, while delivering accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The software was developed for clinicians to manage and resolve Drug Related Problems, relevant specifically per patient, quickly and effectively. In 2017, Seegnal was purchased from Teva by Kalron. As part of the acquisition, Kalron committed to continue to employ Seegnal's employees and to pay Teva certain royalties on sales. Seegnal is marketing its SAAS-based platform in the State of Israel, the UAE, the United States of America and Poland. The platform is currently a "standard of care" system for over 10,000 clinicians in Israel on a daily basis when prescribing medications to their patients. Two of Israel's four HMO's are using the system as their primary solution.
Kalron, through its subsidiary Seegnal, has developed a vast intellectual property portfolio. The SAAS based technology contains over 1500 specific algorithms as well as United States of America, Israeli and Chinese granted patents in the areas of Graphical User Interface ("
GUI
") and workflow. The Seegnal system's functional disruptive GUI approach reduces the workload to 1% compared to legacy systems, while providing over 98% alert accuracy and utilizing advanced pharmacogenetics algorithms to provide futuristic precision medication therapy today.
