Company Retires White Lion Notes in Full, new investor advances $500,000 in Additional Secured Convertible Financing

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / July 2, 2026 / Dot Ai, Inc. (NASDAQ:DAIC) ("Dot Ai" or the "Company"), an IoT and AI-based SaaS company redefining asset intelligence for industrial technology, today announced a series of actions to fortify its balance sheet and simplify its capital structure, including the retirement in full of its outstanding secured convertible promissory notes held by White Lion Capital, LLC, in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $867,000. The retirement releases the security interests that secured the notes, eliminates the associated debt obligation and further simplifies the Company's capital structure.

In addition, as previously contemplated in the previously announced non-binding LOI, a potential new investor has agreed to provide $500,000 of new capital to the Company through an additional secured convertible note. This new capital provides Dot Ai with incremental resources to support its operating initiatives and general corporate purposes.

"Retiring the White Lion notes in full is a meaningful step forward in strengthening our balance sheet and simplifying Dot Ai's capital structure," said Ed Nabrotzky, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Dot Ai. "By eliminating this secured obligation and releasing the security interests that backed it, we are removing both complexity and risk from our financial structure while creating greater flexibility to execute on our strategic plan. We are equally encouraged that the new investor contemplated in the previously announced LOI has provided additional capital as a first step towards a significant potential transaction for the company.
