VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / Grounded People Apparel Inc. ("Grounded" or the "Company")(CSE:SHOE.X)(OTC PINK:GPAIF)(Frankfurt:K1G, WKN: A3DVB1) announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to 10,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.10 per Unit, for gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000.
Each Unit shall consist of one common share (each a "Share") and one-half (1/2) of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each (whole) Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $0.12 for a period of 36 months.
The net proceeds from the Private Placement are expected to be used for general working capital and to support the Company's ongoing strategic review, including the evaluation of potential opportunities in the mining and exploration sectors. This may include preliminary technical assessments, strategic discussions, due diligence and strategic acquisition initiatives related to emerging technologies.
As previously disclosed (please see news release dated November 25, 2025), the Company has been reviewing options to reposition its business and deploy capital into areas that management believes may offer improved long-term prospects. Mining and exploration have been identified as areas of interest as part of this process; however, no definitive transaction has been entered into at this time, and the Company notes that any such transaction will be subject to the review and approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange.
"This financing is intended to provide the Company with additional flexibility as we continue to review strategic alternatives," said Maximilian Justus, Chief Executive Officer of Grounded People Apparel Inc. "Our focus remains on disciplined capital allocation while we evaluate opportunities that could support a more sustainable business going forward."
The Private Placement is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. All securities issued will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws.
There can be no assurance that the Private Placement will be completed on the terms proposed, or at all, or that any strategic initiative arising from the Company's review will result in a completed transaction.
