Business Overview

AADirection Capital Corp. (the "Company") was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act of British Columbia on December 1, 2020 and is a capital pool company as defined by TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) Policy 2.4 (the “Policy”). The Company‘s principal business is to identify and evaluate businesses or assets with a view to completing a Qualifying Transaction (“QT”) as defined in the Policy. The Company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “AAD.P”.

In December 2020, the Company issued 2,000,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $100,000. The Company completed its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) and commenced trading as a capital pool company on August 17, 2021 with TSXV. The Company issued a total of 4,000,000 common shares at a price of $0.10 per share for gross proceeds of $400,000. In connection with this IPO, the Company paid cash commissions of $40,000 and corporate finance fee of $15,000, and issued 400,000 broker warrants with a fair value of $34,018. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $0.10 until August 17, 2026. In addition to the above costs, the Company paid legal fees and expenses of $35,060.

On August 17, 2021, the Company granted 600,000 incentive stock options to directors and officers of the Company. These options vest immediately and are exercisable at $0.10 per share for a period of five years, expiring August 17, 2026. The Company recognized $51,027 in sharebased compensation relating to these grants in the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Until the completion of a QT, the proceeds raised from the issuance of share capital may only be used for the identification and evaluation of a QT with the exception that not exceeding $3,000 per month may be used for reasonable general and administrative expenses of the Company as defined under the Policy.

To date, the Company has not entered into any letter of intent or agreement for a possible QT. The Company has limited funds to identify and complete a QT; and therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a QT within the time period permitted.
