The resulting issuer from the Transaction (the “Resulting Issuer”) will carry on the current business of CoinAnalyst.

The Letter Agreement
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, it is currently anticipated that the Transaction will be effected by way of a three-cornered amalgamation, share exchange, merger, amalgamation, arrangement or other similar form of transaction as is acceptable to the parties.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, Brandenburg will effect a consolidation (the “Consolidation”) of its issued and outstanding common shares (“Brandenburg Shares”) prior to completion of the Transaction (the “Closing”), that results in the shareholders of Brandenburg receiving shares that have a value of $800,000 based on the Issue Price (as defined below). The Brandenburg Shares upon completion of the Consolidation are referred to herein as the “Consolidated Brandenburg Shares”. In accordance with the terms of the Transaction, the holders of the issued and outstanding common shares in the capital of CoinAnalyst (the “CoinAnalyst Shares”) will be issued approximately 100,987 Consolidated Brandenburg Shares in exchange for every one (1) CoinAnalyst Share (the “Exchange Ratio”) held immediately prior to the Closing, of which there are 537 currently outstanding.
The Letter Agreement includes a number of conditions to the Closing, including but not limited to, a reconstitution of Brandenburg’s board of directors and management such that they are comprised of CoinAnalyst’s nominees, the conversion of the Brandenburg Debentures (as defined below), a change in Brandenburg’s name to a name requested by CoinAnalyst (the “Name Change”), requisite shareholder approvals including the approval of the shareholders of CoinAnalyst and Brandenburg, the completion of the Consolidation, approvals of all regulatory bodies having jurisdiction in connection with the Transaction, the completion of the Brandenburg Financings (as defined below), and other closing conditions customary to transactions of the nature of the Transaction. Brandenburg intends to call an annual general and special meeting of its shareholders (the “Meeting”) in due course, and its shareholders will be asked to approve the following matters, among others, at the Meeting: the reconstitution of Brandenburg’s board of directors, the Name Change, the Consolidation, and the Transaction or a component thereof (as may be required by the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”)).
Brandenburg intends to apply to list the Consolidated Brandenburg Shares on the CSE and, if and upon the satisfaction of the CSE’s initial listing requirements, the Consolidated Brandenburg Shares are expected to begin trading on the CSE following the Closing.
Brandenburg Financings
Brandenburg Debenture Financing
Prior to the completion of the Transaction, Brandenburg, or a newly formed special purpose financing vehicle, will complete a private placement of unsecured convertible debentures (“Brandenburg Debentures”) to raise aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of $250,000 (the “Brandenburg Debenture Financing”). Each Brandenburg Debenture will automatically convert into Brandenburg Consolidated Shares at a conversion price equal to $0.10.
Brandenburg Concurrent Financing
Brandenburg, or a newly formed special purpose financing vehicle, will also complete a non- brokered private placement (the “Brandenburg Concurrent Financing”; together with the Brandenburg Debenture Financing, the “Brandenburg Financings”) of units (the “Brandenburg Units”) at a price per Brandenburg Unit (the “Issue Price”) of $0.20 for gross proceeds of a minimum of $750,000. Each Brandenburg Unit will consist of one Brandenburg Consolidated Share and one warrant (a “Brandenburg Warrant”) to acquire a Brandenburg Consolidated Share at a price of $0.35 for a period of two years from the date of issuance, subject to an early acceleration right. The parties anticipate appointing Amuka Capital Corp. (“Amuka Capital”) as the lead finder in connection with the Brandenburg Concurrent Financing, and will pay Amuka Capital a cash commission equal to 8% of the gross proceeds of the Brandenburg Concurrent Financing and issue it compensation options, expiring two years following the closing date of the Brandenburg Concurrent Financing, to purchase that number of Brandenburg Units at the Issue Price that is equal to 8% of the Brandenburg Units sold. The net proceeds of the Brandenburg Concurrent Financing will be used for expenses related to the Transaction, the execution of CoinAnalyst’s strategic plan and the repayment of debt.
Advisory Fee
If the Brandenburg Financings are completed for gross proceeds of a minimum of $1,000,000, then Brandenburg will issue 760,000 Brandenburg Consolidated Shares to Amuka Capital, and shall issue an additional 760,000 Brandenburg Consolidated Shares (collectively, the “Financial Advisor Shares”) to Amuka Capital if the Brandenburg Financings are completed for gross proceeds of a minimum of $2,000,000, in each case as consideration for Amuka Capital’s services in introducing the parties and facilitating the completion of the Transaction.
As Aaron Meckler, a senior officer, director and controlling shareholder of the Company is also a significant shareholder, director and officer of Amuka Capital, the issuance of the Financial Advisor Shares and the payment of cash commissions and compensation options to Amuka Capital in connection with the Brandenburg Concurrent Financing constitute a “related party transaction” pursuant to Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101“). The Company is relying upon the “Financial Hardship” exemption from the minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements under MI 61-101.
