The Qualifying Transaction

Pre-Closing Capitalization of AIM

As of the date hereof, AIM's authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of common shares ("AIM Common Shares") of which 7,928,000 AIM Common Shares are issued and outstanding. AIM also has 792,000 stock options and 258,000 common share purchase warrants outstanding.

Pre-Closing Capitalization of DMG

As of the date hereof, 28,500,000 common shares of DMG ("DMG Common Shares") are issued and no other rights to acquire securities of DMG exist.

Terms of the Transaction

Subject to the execution of a definitive agreement ("Definitive Agreement"), AIM proposes to acquire all of the issued and outstanding DMG Common Shares in exchange for 28,500,000 common shares of the Resulting Issuer (the "Payment Shares") based on a deemed issuance price of approximately $0.30 per Payment Share. The Payment Shares will be issued to the shareholders of DMG on a pro-rata basis. Pursuant to the Transaction, the shareholders of DMG will become shareholders of the Resulting Issuer.

Concurrent with closing of the Transaction, it is proposed that the parties will complete an equity financing (the "Concurrent Financing") by way of a non-brokered private placement relying on the prospectus exemptions pursuant to National Instrument 45-106 or other applicable laws, rules and regulations to raise a minimum of $3,000,000 and up to a maximum of $3,500,000 at an intended price of $0.30 per share, which is equal to the deemed issuance price of the Payment Shares. The structure of the Concurrent Financing will be determined by the parties on the basis of securities, tax and corporate law considerations, as well as the rules subject and policies of the Exchange. In connection with the Concurrent Financing, the Company intends to pay finders' fees. A finder's fee will be paid to Altus Capital Group in connection with the Transaction.

Within five (5) days following the execution of this LOI by the Parties, the Company shall pay to DMG a deposit of $25,000. The deposit will be refundable unless the Transaction does not close due to the Company not raising the funds necessary to close the Concurrent Financing, in which case the deposit will be non-refundable.

AIM intends to make application for an exemption from the Exchange's sponsorship requirements.

Trading in the common shares of AIM is presently halted. The common shares of AIM will remain halted until the Transaction is completed and approved by the Exchange.

The Transaction is conditional upon, among other things:

1. the parties will have received all necessary regulatory and third-party consents, approvals and authorizations as may be required in respect of the Transaction, including, but without limitation, acceptance of the Exchange;
   
   
2. completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the parties;
   
   
3. approval of the board of directors of each of AIM and DMG to final terms and conditions of the Transaction as set forth in the Definitive Agreement and all other necessary matters related thereto prior to the signing of the Definitive Agreement;
   
   
4. the signing of the Definitive Agreement;
   
   
5. completion of all matters, and the satisfaction of all conditions (unless waived in writing), under the Definitive Agreement required to be completed or satisfied on or before closing of the Transaction including but not limited to completion of the Concurrent Financing; and
   
   
6. the shareholders of DMG will have approved the Transaction.
   
   

It is intended that the Resulting Issuer will be named "DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc."
