ARTICLE V
Covenants
Section 5.01 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, counsel, accountants, and other agents (collectively, “Representatives”) to, hold in confidence any and all information, in any form, concerning the Company, except to the extent that the Seller can show that such information: (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of the Seller, any of its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by any obligation. If Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives are compelled to disclose any information by Governmental Order or Law, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as possible an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.
Section 5.02 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.
(a) For a period of five (5) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly: (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the any business that directly competes with the Business (the “Restricted Business”) anywhere in the world (the “Territory”); (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages, directly or indirectly, in the Restricted Business in the Territory in any capacity, including as a partner, stockholder, director, officer, member, manager, employee, contractor, principal, agent, volunteer, intern, advisor, or consultant; or (iii) intentionally interfere in any material respect with the business relationships (whether formed prior to or after the date of this Agreement) between the Company and customers or suppliers of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if Seller is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own two percent (2%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.
(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any current or former employee of the Company or encourage any employee to leave the Company’s employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, however, nothing in this Section 5.02(b) shall prevent Seller or any of its Affiliates from hiring: (i) any employee terminated by the Company; or (ii) after one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of resignation, any employee that has resigned from the Company.
(c) Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.02 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, or specific performance (without any requirement to post bond).
14
(d) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.02 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.02 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction or any Governmental Order, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law or such Governmental Order. The covenants contained in this Section 5.02 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written will not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 5.03 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
ARTICLE VI
Tax matters
Section 6.01 Tax Covenants.
(a) Without the prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Seller will not, to the extent it may affect or relate to the Company: (i) make, change, or rescind any Tax election; (ii) amend any Tax Return; (iii) take any position on any Tax Return; or (iv) take any action, omit to take any action, or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyer or the Company, in respect of any taxable period that begins after the Closing Date or, in respect of any taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.
(b) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added, and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be borne and paid by Seller when due. Seller shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).
15
(c) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date with respect to any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and all Straddle Period Tax Returns. Any such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method.
Section 6.02 Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that are allocated to Pre-Closing Tax Periods (as defined in Section 6.04) for purposes of this Agreement is: (a) in the case of Taxes: (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital, or net worth; (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer, or assignment of property; or (iii) required to be withheld, the amount of Taxes which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and (b) in the case of other Taxes, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.
Section 6.03 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date neither the Company, Seller, nor any of Seller’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.
Section 6.04 Tax Indemnification. The Company shall indemnify the Buyer and each Buyer Indemnitee (as defined in Section 7.01) and hold them harmless from and against (a) any loss, damage, liability, deficiency, Action, judgment, interest, award, penalty, fine, cost or expense of whatever kind (collectively, including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification under this Agreement, “Losses”) attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.19; (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking, or obligation in ARTICLE VI; (c) all Taxes of the Company relating to the business of the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods (as defined below); (d) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of the Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of a liability under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any comparable provisions of foreign, state, or local Law; and (e) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date. In each of the above cases, together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred in connection therewith, the Company shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 6.04 within ten business days after payment of such Taxes by Buyer or the Company. The term “Pre-Closing Tax Period” means any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of such taxable period ending on and including the Closing Date.
Section 6.05 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Company and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this ARTICLE VI or in connection with any proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company, including providing copies of relevant Tax Returns and accompanying documents. Each of Seller and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (collectively, “Tax Records”) until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Records relate.
16
Section 6.06 Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.19 and this ARTICLE VI shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation, or extension thereof) plus sixty (60) days.

Section 7.01 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII, Seller shall indemnify and defend each of Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to, or by reason of:
(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents;
(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation to be performed by the Company (prior to the Closing) or the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or
(c) any and all liabilities relating to the operation of the business of the Company prior to the Closing (other than for liabilities arising after the closing date with respect to any Contracts of the Company or any liabilities reflected in the Financial Statements), including, without limitation, liabilities for any Actions, product claims, employee matters, etc.
Section 7.02 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VII, Buyer shall indemnify and defend each of the Company and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to, or by reason of:
(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; or
(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.
17
Section 7.03 Indemnification Procedures. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnified party (“Indemnified Party”) shall promptly provide written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall: (a) describe the claim in reasonable detail; (b) include copies of all material written evidence thereof; and (c) indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any Action by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action, with its counsel and at its own cost and expense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend against such Action in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including settling such Action, after giving notice of it to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any damages resulting therefrom. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any claim, including: (i) making available records relating to such claim; and (ii) furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
Section 7.04 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Agreement for any punitive, consequential, special, incidental or indirect damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, lost revenues, lost opportunity or loss of business; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to (a) damages arising from third-party claims for which indemnification is sought, or (b) damages resulting from the Indemnifying Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the event of any losses or damages, or alleged losses or damages, giving rise to indemnification or a claim for indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party hereby covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (not requiring material expense, litigation, or diversion of significant internal resources) to mitigate such loss or damages, and the resulting indemnified losses or damages. The amount of an Indemnified Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder will be offset by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered from insurers with respect to such losses or damages (net of any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket costs of collection and any increase in insurance premiums attributable to such recovery). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.01.(a) or Section 7.02(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under such applicable section exceeds $6,500 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible.
18
Section 7.05 Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein and all related rights to indemnification shall survive the Closing for a period of 24 months; provided, however, the representations and warranties in Section 3.01, Section 3.02, Section 3.03, Section 3.10(b), Section 3.19, Section 3.22, and Section 4.01, Section 4.02 and Section 4.04 shall each survive indefinitely. Subject to ARTICLE VI, all covenants and agreements of the parties hereto contained herein shall survive the Closing indefinitely unless another period is explicitly specified herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims which are timely asserted in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period will not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.
Section 7.06 Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event, or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.19 hereof or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking, or obligation in ARTICLE VI) shall be governed exclusively by ARTICLE VI hereof.
Section 7.07 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies provided for in this ARTICLE VII (and in ARTICLE VI) are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at Law or in equity or otherwise.

Newport Beach, CA – July 18, 2025 – PMGC Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ELAB) (the “Company,” “PMGC” or “we”), a diversified public holding company, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of AGA Precision Systems LLC (“AGA”), a California-based CNC machining business that generated over $1.39 million in revenue in 2024 and has a track record of profitability. The transaction reflects PMGC’s continued focus at both the management and strategic levels on acquiring U.S.-based, cash-flow-positive industrial businesses with capabilities that strengthen mission-critical supply chains. It also aligns with broader industry momentum toward US based manufacturing, reshoring, which are revitalizing America’s aerospace, defense, and precision manufacturing sectors.
About AGA Precision Systems LLC
AGA Precision Systems LLC is a specialized CNC machine shop focused on high-tolerance milling, turning, mold manufacturing, and machining of complex metals including titanium and Inconel. The company serves customers across the aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors, delivering precision components to demanding technical specifications.
Founded over a decade ago, AGA has built a strong reputation for quality and reliability, having grown its business exclusively through referrals and repeat orders without a formal sales or marketing function. Its long-standing customer relationships and niche capabilities have supported consistent operating profitability from its base in California. The company will continue operations with existing leadership and under the guidance of a new experienced machine shop management team, supported by strategic and financial oversight from PMGC.
In 2024, AGA generated $1,390,000 in revenue and was earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) positive.
Strategic Rationale
The acquisition of AGA aligns with PMGC’s broader strategy of acquiring specialized, U.S.-based manufacturing businesses with strong fundamentals, consistent earnings, and long-term growth potential. AGA’s technical expertise and positioning across mission-critical industries make it a strategic addition to PMGC’s operating portfolio.
“AGA Precision Systems exemplifies our focus on acquiring high-quality, resilient businesses vital to U.S. manufacturing,” said Graydon Bensler, Chief Executive Officer of PMGC Holdings Inc., managed through GB Capital Ltd. “Its expertise in specialty metals, long-standing customer relationships, and role in critical supply chains add strong operational and strategic value to our platform.”
PMGC intends to support AGA’s continued growth through targeted investments in business development, production efficiency, and resource planning. The Company also sees long-term opportunity to deepen AGA’s footprint across defense and industrial programs requiring reliable, U.S.-based suppliers.
Industry Outlook
The global CNC machine tool market is projected to grow from $100.5 billion in 2024 to $109.1 billion in 2025, reaching over $200 billion by 2033i. Growth is driven by demand from aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors, alongside reshoring efforts supported by the CHIPS and Inflation Reduction Acts.
AGA marks PMGC’s second completed acquisition this quarter, following the acquisition of Pacific Sun Packaging on July 10, 2025. The Company has two additional pending acquisitions previously announced and continues to pursue further opportunities in cash-flow-positive U.S.-based manufacturing and industrial businesses.
PMGC acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding interests in AGA for $650,000 in cash with no debts or liabilities.
