Re: Engagement Agreement – Advisory Services
Dear Mr. Valania:

3. Tail Financing. Dawson shall be entitled to fees to be mutually agreed upon in writing in advance with respect to any offering or other financing or capital-raising transaction of any kind, including merger and acquisition transactions. (“Tail Financing”) to the extent that such Tail Financing is provided to the Company by parties whom Dawson had Introduced, as defined below, to the Company during the Engagement Period, if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time within the Six (6) month period following the expiration or termination of this Agreement, whichever is later (the “Tail Period”). For purposes of this Agreement, “Introduced” shall mean investors who (i) replied to Dawson’s outreach during the Term, and (ii) had a virtual or in-person meeting with the Company CEO or Management arranged by Dawson during the Term.
4. Survival. Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 8, and 10 hereof shall survive the termination of this engagement letter.
5. No Other Agreements. The Company represents and warrants to Dawson that the entry into this engagement letter or any other action of the Company will not violate any agreement between the Company and any other broker-dealer or financial advisor.
6. Publicity. The Company agrees that it will not issue press releases or engage in any other publicity, without Dawson’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), during the Engagement Period.

7. Information. During the Engagement Period, the Company agrees to cooperate with Dawson and to furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Dawson, all information and data concerning the Company that Dawson deems appropriate (the “Information”). The Company will provide Dawson reasonable access during normal business hours from and after the date of execution of this engagement letter during the Engagement Period to all of the Company’s assets, properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and to the Company’s officers, directors, employees, appraisers, independent accountants, legal counsel and other consultants and advisors. Except as contemplated by the terms hereof or as required by applicable law, Dawson will keep strictly confidential all non-public Information concerning the Company provided to Dawson. No obligation of confidentiality will apply to Information that: (a) is in the public domain as of the date hereof or hereafter enters the public domain without a breach by Dawson, (b) was known or became known by Dawson prior to the Company’s disclosure thereof to Dawson as demonstrated by the existence of its written records, (c) becomes known to Dawson from a source other than the Company, and other than by the breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to the Company, (d) is disclosed by the Company to a third party without restrictions on its disclosure or (e) is independently developed by Dawson.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Dawson is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary of the Company and shall have no duties or liabilities to the equity holders or the creditors of the Company or any other person by virtue of this engagement letter or the retention of Dawson hereunder, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and (ii) Dawson is a full service securities firm engaged in a wide range of businesses and from time to time, in the ordinary course of its business, Dawson or its affiliates may hold long or short positions and trade or otherwise effect transactions for its own account or the account of its customers in debt or equity securities or loans of the companies which may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this engagement letter. During the course of Dawson engagement with the Company, Dawson may have in its possession material, non-public information regarding other companies that could potentially be relevant to the Company or the transactions contemplated herein but which cannot be shared due to an obligation of confidence to such other companies.
9. Indemnification, Advancement & Contribution.
(a) Indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Dawson, its affiliates and each person controlling Dawson (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act), and the directors, officers, agents and employees of Dawson, its affiliates and each such controlling person (Dawson, and each such entity or person hereafter is referred to as an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, judgments, assessments, costs and other liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”), and shall reimburse each Indemnified Person for all fees and expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Indemnified Persons) (collectively, the “Expenses”) and agrees to advance payment of such Expenses as they are incurred by an Indemnified Person in investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any actions, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, arising out of any services provided hereunder. The Company also agrees to advance and to reimburse each Indemnified Person for all Expenses as they are incurred in connection with such Indemnified Person’s enforcement of his or its rights under this Section 9.
2
(b) Procedure. Upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of actual notice of an action against such Indemnified Person with respect to which indemnity may reasonably be expected to be sought under this Section 9, such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify the Company in writing; provided that failure by any Indemnified Person so to notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation or liability which the Company may have on account of this Section 9 or otherwise to such Indemnified Person. The Company shall, if requested by Dawson, assume the defense of any such action (including the employment of counsel designated by Dawson and reasonably satisfactory to the Company). Any Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Person unless: (i) the Company has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ separate counsel designated by Dawson for the benefit of Dawson and the other Indemnified Persons or (ii) such Indemnified Person shall have been advised that in the opinion of counsel that there is an actual or potential conflict of interest that prevents (or makes it imprudent for) the counsel designated by Dawson and engaged by the Company for the purpose of representing the Indemnified Person, to represent both such Indemnified Person and any other person represented or proposed to be represented by such counsel. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any action effected without its written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). In addition, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Dawson, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action in respect of which advancement, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not such Indemnified Person is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination (i) includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person, acceptable to such Indemnified Party, from all Liabilities arising out of such action for which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. The advancement, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution obligations of the Company required hereby shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as every Liability and Expense is incurred and is due and payable, and in such amounts as fully satisfy each and every Liability and Expense as it is incurred (and in no event later than 30 days following the date of any invoice therefore).
(c) Contribution. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction makes a finding that indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Person, the Company shall contribute to the Liabilities and Expenses paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect (i) the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and to Dawson and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, of the matters contemplated by this Section 9 or (ii) if the allocation provided by the immediately preceding clause is not permitted by applicable law, not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and Dawson and any other Indemnified Person, on the other hand, in connection with the matters as to which such Liabilities or Expenses relate, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided that in no event shall the Company contribute less than the amount necessary to ensure that all Indemnified Persons, in the aggregate, are not liable for any Liabilities and Expenses in excess of the amount of fees actually received by Dawson pursuant to this engagement letter.
(d) Limitation. The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Company for or in connection with advice or services rendered or to be rendered by any Indemnified Person pursuant to this engagement letter, the transactions contemplated thereby or any Indemnified Person’s actions or inactions in connection with any such advice, services or transactions, except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction has made a finding that Liabilities (and related Expenses) of the Company have resulted exclusively from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any such advice, actions, inactions or services.

Exhibit 99.1
Mitesco Provides Business Update on Ai Software, Edge Computing and Strategic Growth Initiatives
VERO BEACH, Fla., July 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Mitesco, Inc. (OTCQB: MITI) (“Mitesco” or the “Company”) today announced progress across its artificial intelligence software, distributed edge computing, and strategic growth initiatives as the Company continues to execute its long-term business plan and evaluate strategic acquisition opportunities.
The Company currently operates through two primary business segments: its data center subsidiary, Centcore, and its software development division, Vero Technology Ventures (VTV).
Centcore initially entered the market through a colocation agreement with a data center facility in Melbourne, Florida. However, the Company exited that arrangement in late 2025 due to operating costs that were no longer competitive within the evolving market environment. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Centcore announced a strategic focus on developing and operating smaller-footprint data centers, generally targeting facilities of approximately 10,000 square feet. Building on that strategy, the Company recently unveiled plans to deploy an edge computing network utilizing its proprietary TC/DC modular data center node design, which is intended for residential, rural, and office-based deployments.
Vero Technology Ventures’ operations are centered on the development and commercialization of software and artificial intelligence solutions. Its flagship AI platform, Robo Agent, is designed to enhance sales productivity and workflow automation, with its initial market focus on the residential real estate sector and future expansion planned into financial services and related industries.
In addition, VTV has developed Sportzfolio, a digital marketplace platform for the listing, marketing, and sale of sports-related properties and facilities. The platform supports a wide range of assets, including pickleball, golf, tennis, youth activity, and other specialized recreational properties. Sportzfolio is currently operational and features a user experience and property search functionality similar to leading online real estate marketplaces.
VTV: Near-term software efforts
Brian Valania, CEO, explained, “While neither application is generating revenue yet, the Robo Agent initial prototype is in testing with a small group of agents with varying levels of experience and technical skills. Management believes it will be able to create its first licensing in Q4 FY2026 as it rolls out its full production version in late FY2026. It is intended only to be licensed to major players, of which most are publicly held companies. The smaller players in the industry will be sold and supported by third parties who specialize in supporting that segment of the marketplace. We expect that revenue will come from a master license with a large-scale user where $100/user is the retail charge, and a percentage of that will go to the master user to administer the user account, leaving significant net revenue per user to the Company, without the cost for individual support.”
The project has been strongly influenced by executives at one of the largest publicly held brokerages, who employs over 84,000 agents. The software will be running exclusively on the Company’s Centcore Data Center platform. Further, management believes the same user base can be engaged to deploy the new TC/DC edge computing platform aimed at residential and rural installations.
Near term data center activities
Valania opened the data center discussion by saying “the new data center effort is focused on edge computing and is moving forward with a small engineering group set to build the first units and establish standards for the larger scale assembly effort. An executive with extensive data center operations is heading the project and has been working with the Company on the design of the application software for managing the network and allocation of tasks. Management is highly confident in its plan to place up to 10,000 units over 2 – 3 years using its real estate agent user base to place units at residential sites, including owners of public housing, with larger installations on ranch and rural properties, and sparsely used areas such as golf courses and schools. As currently planned, each location would be paid $100 per month in the form of “rent” for space and basic 110v power, and we think a private, partitioned AI server service might be included. Since the TC/DC is powered by batteries, it is anticipated that the power requirement is quite modest, not different than any other household appliance.”
The Company intends to deploy three (3) models of the TC/DC, one with (2) processors, one with (5) processors and one with (10) processors. While the initial design is contemplated using Apple’s A5 processors, it expects a second vendor version as well, likely with processors from AMD, or a similar provider. Since the whole concept is low power consumption, the evaluation of “tokens per kWh” is a key factor. (A token is the measurement of computing resources used in AI operations.) The unit resembles a conventional trash can (hence the “TC” in the name) with versions intended for inside a garage, fully weatherproofed for outdoor settings, and a version to go inside of a home. The internet connection may be made by satellite (i.e. Starlink), conventional internet (Comcast, etc.) or a private 5G radio link. The battery systems will be recharged by 110v or in some cases solar panels.
Pulte Homes recently announced a prototype effort in a similar vein, though much more expensive and complicated than the TC/DC design.
https://que.com/nvidia-pulte-help-startup-deploy-mini-data-centers-in-homes/
https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/nvidia-pultegroup-span-date-center-backyard/
The Company is currently working through its corporate real estate brokerage connections to explore similar relationships with other large-scale production home builders, and regional builders. Also, with its larger relationships, it is evaluating certain rural applications where a barn or utility building might house multiple units with significant “off grid” power from solar panels.
The initial units are expected to cost around $10,000 each, dropping on volume over time. After operating costs (rent to homeowner, internet access, etc.) management believes it can average up to $2,000 per unit in revenue on the low side, up to $5,000 in certain specific applications. Valania commented, “with a 6-month payback the potential margins may be significant. Beyond its own user group, the Company intends to offer bandwidth to other users of scale, where they would either contract to include managed services provisions (MSP), or perhaps run the network partition from their own control center.”
To fund this build out the Company is exploring a “pool” approach with debt at the subsidiary level, and a royalty payment approach with 10% of sales until the investment is 100% recovered, then 5% royalty until a total of 150% is recovered. Based on the current plan, that payout would be around 24 to 30 months and would not be dilutive to its shareholders.
