Registered Direct Offering
On December 12, 2024, A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of 1,947,000 common shares (the “Shares”), no par value per share, at a purchase price of $6.40 per share, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”).
The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s existing shelf registration statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-271226), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 12, 2023, and declared effective by the Commission on April 21, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”). A prospectus supplement to the Registration Statement is expected to be filed with the Commission on or around December 16, 2024.
The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on or about December 16, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. The gross proceeds from the offering will be approximately $12,500,000 before deducting the offering expenses payable by the Company. The proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used for continued development and expansion of the Company’s existing business, including fulfilment of contracted smart cart backlog orders and acceleration of the onboarding process for new clients, and for working capital purposes.
The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibits 99.1, to this Report on Form 6-K and is incorporated by reference herein. The legal opinion, including the related consent, of Bloch Legal relating to the issuance and sale of the Shares is filed as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
The Offering was made directly to the investors, without a placement agent or underwriter. The Company expects to pay to certain non-US and non-Canadian residents fees in connection with the Offering, payable in cash, of up to 8% of the gross proceeds, and will issue to certain of such persons 146,940 common shares (the “Finders’ Fees Private Shares”).
The Finders’ Fees Private Shares will be issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering.
This Report on Form 6-K does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. The Shares may not be offered or sold in Canada or to residents of Canada.
On December 12, 2024, the Company issued a press release regarding the Offering. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.3 of this Current Report on Form 6-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Such Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.
| 7 |
(e) Access to Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review the Transaction Documents (including all schedules thereto) and the SEC Reports and has been afforded, (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.
(f) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder, such Purchaser has not, nor has any Person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, directly or indirectly executed any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of the time that such Purchaser first received a term sheet (written or oral) from the Company or any other Person representing the Company setting forth the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereunder and ending immediately prior to the execution hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Purchaser that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Purchaser’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Purchaser’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the Securities covered by this Agreement. Other than to other Persons party to this Agreement or to such Purchaser’s representatives, including, without limitation, its officers, directors, partners, legal and other advisors, employees, agents and Affiliates, such Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction (including the existence and terms of this transaction).

The obligations of each Purchaser under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Purchaser has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. The Company has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Purchasers. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and a Purchaser, solely, and not between the Company and the Purchasers collectively and not between and among the Purchasers.
5.18 Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.
5.19 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel have reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments thereto. In addition, each and every reference to share prices and Common Shares in any Transaction Document shall be subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits or consolidations, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Shares that occur after the date of this Agreement.
5.20 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING IN ANY JURISDICTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY, THE PARTIES EACH KNOWINGLY AND INTENTIONALLY, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY ABSOLUTELY, UNCONDITIONALLY, IRREVOCABLY AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES FOREVER TRIAL BY JURY.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
Re: A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp. – Registered Direct Offering of Common Shares
We have acted as Canadian counsel for A2Z Cust2Mate Solutions Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Corporation”), in connection with the sale of 1,947,000 common shares in the capital of the Corporation (each, a “Common Share”), pursuant to the prospectus supplement, dated December 12, 2024, to the prospectus included as part of a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form F-3 (No. 333-271226), filed on April 12, 2023 by the Corporation and declared effective on April 21, 2023 by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Common Shares will be sold and issued all in accordance with one or more Securities Purchase Agreements, each dated December 12, 2024, by and among the Corporation and the purchasers identified therein (the “Purchase Agreements”).
We are qualified to practice law in the Province of Ontario. By virtue of the National Mobility Agreement, the Law Society Act (Ontario), the Legal Profession Act (Alberta) and the Legal Profession Act (British Columbia), we are also entitled to provide the opinion below as it relates to laws of the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, respectively. We confirm that we have complied with terms and conditions in the National Mobility Agreement and are qualified to give such opinion as it relates to the laws of the Provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, respectively. Other than as indicated above, we express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction, or as to any matters governed by the laws of any jurisdiction, other than the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein in effect on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing and our opinions set forth below, we express no opinion with respect to the compliance or non-compliance with applicable privacy laws in connection with the issuance and sale of any Common Shares.
As counsel for the Corporation, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, certificates of public officials and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of rendering this opinion and we are familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by the Corporation in connection with the authorization, issuance and sale of the Common Shares. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions, and limitations and the further limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that:
1. The Common Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreements, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
We express no opinion as to (i) the enforceability of any waiver of rights under any usury or stay law or (ii) the effect of fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer, or similar provision of applicable law on the conclusions expressed above.
We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Report on Form 6-K to be filed by the Corporation with the Commission on December 16, 2024, and its incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
