Transaction Summary

Under the Agreement, Zoomd and Dotima 2019 Ltd. ("Dotima"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DataMiners, will merge to form one corporation in accordance with the Israeli Companies Act - 1999. Dotima will cease to have its own corporate existence, with Zoomd continuing as the surviving corporation (the "Surviving Company").

Prior to the completion of the Transaction, DataMiners will consolidate the DataMiners Common Shares on the basis of one (1) new DataMiners Common Share for each two and a half (2.5) old DataMiners Common Shares (the "Consolidation"). Pursuant to the Transaction, the holders of issued and outstanding shares of Zoomd will receive one (1) DataMiners Common Share for each one (1) Zoomd common share on a post-Consolidation basis. This will result in DataMiners issuing approximately 82,552,915 post-Consolidation common shares to Zoomd shareholders (assuming the conversion of all Zoomd convertible debt and warrants and including the 390,000 shares to be issued to A-Labs (as defined below), as more particularly described below), as well as 8,447,083 options to purchase DataMiners Common Shares, excluding securities issued in connection with the Zoomd Private Placement (defined below).

Prior to or concurrent with the completion of the Transaction, Zoomd intends to complete an equity financing (the "Zoomd Private Placement"). Additional information in respect of the Zoomd Private Placement is available below.

The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of precedent conditions, including, but not limited to, regulatory consents and authorizations, TSXV approval, Zoomd shareholder approval of the Transaction and the completion of the Zoomd Private Placement.

DataMiners is a capital pool company and intends that the Transaction will constitute its "Qualifying Transaction" under Policy 2.4 of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Upon completion of the Transaction DataMiners is expected to change its name to Zoomd Inc. (the "Resulting Issuer"), or such other name as determined by Zoomd, and to be listed as a Tier 2 technology issuer on the TSXV.

In respect of the Transaction, Zoomd retained the consulting services of A-Labs Finance and Advisory Ltd. ("A-Labs"). Subject to the completion of the Transaction, A-Labs shall be entitled to (i) a cash fee equal to five percent (5%) of the amounts actually received by Zoomd under the Zoomd Private Placement, (ii) a shares based fee (of the Resulting Issuer) equal to five percent (5%) of the Zoomd Subscription Receipts issued pursuant Zoomd Private Placement (i.e., a minimum of 390,000 Resulting Issuer Shares (as defined below)), and (iii) subject to Zoomd's discretion (if it wishes to retain further consulting services), US$ 5,000 paid to A-Labs as a monthly consulting retainer on the 1st of every calendar month commencing after the completion of the Transaction.

Zoomd Private Placement

Following the date hereof, the Zoomd Private Placement will be completed by issuing a minimum 7,800,000 subscription receipts (the "Zoomd Subscription Receipts") of Zoomd Financeco Ltd. ("Finco"), a company incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), at a price of CAD$1.00 per Zoomd Subscription Receipt (the "Issue Price") for aggregate gross proceeds of a minimum of CAD$7,800,000. The brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement will be conducted by a syndicate of agents co-led by Haywood Securities Inc. ("Haywood") and Eight Capital Corp. (together with Haywood, the "Co-Lead Agents") and including Paradigm Capital Inc. (collectively with the Co-Lead Agents, the "Agents"). Each Zoomd Subscription Receipt will automatically convert, without payment of any additional consideration and without further action on the part of each subscriber, into one common share of FinCo (each, a "Finco Share") upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below). No Zoomd Subscription Receipts may be exercised by the holder thereof.

Following the conversion of the Zoomd Subscription Receipts, each FinCo Share issued pursuant to the Zoomd Private Placement will be acquired by DataMiners in exchange for one common share of the Resulting Issuer (each, a "Resulting Issuer Share") pursuant to a share exchange agreement to be entered into between the Co-Lead Agents (as attorney for the holders of FinCo Shares issued pursuant to the brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement), DataMiners, FinCo and the holders of FinCo Shares issued pursuant to the non-brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement (or an attorney for such holders) (the "Finco Share Exchange Agreement"). Accordingly, assuming the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions and the completion of the Transaction, each holder of a Zoomd Subscription Receipt will ultimately receive one Resulting Issuer Share for each respective FinCo Share so held.

In connection with the Zoomd Private Placement, FinCo intends to pay the Agents a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from the brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement (3.5% in the case of gross proceeds raised from certain investors on the "president's list" agreed to by Zoomd and the Agents) (the "Agents' Fee"). In addition, in connection with the non-brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement, FinCo intends to pay certain finders a cash fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds from the non-brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement (the "Non-Brokered Finders' Fee", and together with the Agents' Fee, collectively, the "Zoomd Private Placement Cash Fee"). In addition to the Agents' Fee, the Agents will receive non-transferrable warrants to purchase Finco Shares (the "Zoomd Broker Warrants"), equal to 7% of the number of Zoomd Subscription Receipts issued in connection with the brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement (3.5% in the case of Zoomd Subscription Receipts issued to certain investors on the "president's list" agreed to by Zoomd and the Agents). In addition to the Non-Brokered Finders' Fee, certain finders will receive Zoomd Broker Warrants, equal to 7% of the number of Zoomd Subscription Receipts issued in connection with the non-brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement. Each Zoomd Broker Warrant will be automatically exchanged for non-transferable compensation options of the Resulting Issuer upon completion of the Transaction and will be exercisable for one Resulting Issuer Share at the Issue Price for a period of 24 months from the completion of the Transaction. The gross proceeds from the sale of all Zoomd Subscription Receipts, which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the gross proceeds from the non-brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement, less the expenses of the Agents incurred in connection with the brokered portion of the Zoomd Private Placement will be delivered to the Subscription Receipt Agent (collectively, the "Escrowed Proceeds") and invested pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. The Escrowed Proceeds, together with all interest and other income earned thereon, are referred to herein as the "Escrowed Funds".

The Agents' Fee will be released from escrow and delivered to the Agents from the Escrowed Funds, the Non-Brokered Finders' Fee will be released from escrow and delivered to such finders from the Escrowed Funds and the balance of the Escrowed Funds will be released from escrow to the Resulting Issuer upon satisfaction of the following conditions (together, the "Escrow Release Conditions") on or before 5:00 pm (Toronto time) on the date that is 90 days from the closing of the Zoomd Private Placement (the "Escrow Release Deadline"):

  1. the completion, satisfaction or waiver of all conditions precedent to the Transaction other than the release of the Escrowed Funds, to the satisfaction of ZoomD and the Agents, acting reasonably;

  2. the receipt of all shareholder and regulatory approvals required in connection with: (1) the Transaction, and (2) the conditional approval of the TSXV for the listing of the Resulting Issuer Shares (including the Resulting Issuer Shares underlying the Resulting Issuer Compensation Options) (subject only to standard listing conditions);

  3. an officer's certificate from each of ZoomD, FinCo and DataMiners certifying that all conditions of the Transaction have been satisfied or waived, other than release of the Escrowed Funds, and that the Transaction shall be completed forthwith upon release of the Escrowed Funds;

  4. the distribution of (1) the Resulting Issuer Shares in exchange for FinCo Shares (issued upon the automatic exchange of Zoomd Subscription Receipts) upon completion of the FinCo Share Exchange pursuant to the FinCo Share Exchange Agreement, and (2) the Resulting Issuer Shares to be issued in exchange for the Zoomd Shares pursuant to the Transaction following the satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions being exempt from applicable prospectus and registration requirements of applicable securities laws and not subject to any hold or restricted period under applicable Canadian securities laws; and

  5. ZoomD and the Agents shall have delivered a joint release notice to the Subscription Receipt Agent confirming that all Escrow Release Conditions have been met or waived.

In the event that the Escrow Release Conditions are not satisfied or waived (to the extent such waiver is permitted) on or prior to the Escrow Release Deadline, or if, prior to such time, Zoomd advises the Agents in writing or announces to the public that it does not intend to satisfy the Escrow Release Conditions, and unless the requisite approval is obtained pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement, all of the issued and outstanding Zoomd Subscription Receipts will be cancelled and the Subscription Receipt Agent will return to each holder of Zoomd Subscription Receipts, an amount equal to the aggregate Issue Price for the Zoomd Subscription Receipts held by such holder plus a pro rata share of any interest or other income earned on the Zoomd Subscription Proceeds (less applicable withholding tax, if any). To the extent that the Escrowed Funds are insufficient to refund to each holder of Zoomd Subscription Receipts an amount equal to the aggregate Issuer Price for the Zoomd Subscription Receipts held by such holder, Zoomd shall be liable for and will contribute such amounts as are necessary to satisfy any shortfall.

The main use of proceeds is global expansion while continuously improving and optimizing the core technology.
