• COIU and MSTU will be Canada's first double leveraged ETFs linked to these U.S. stocks
• Universal Digital and LongPoint sign a partnership agreement to establish ETFs in Canada

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 23, 2025) - LongPoint Asset Management Inc. ("LongPoint") and Universal Digital Inc. (CSE: LFG) (FSE: 8R20) ("Universal Digital") announce that they have filed the preliminary prospectus for the listing of two double leveraged single stock ETFs (the "LFG ETFs"), LFG Daily (2X) COIN Long ETF ("COIU") designed to provide twice the daily performance of Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ: COIN), and LFG Daily (2X) MSTR Long ETF ("MSTU") designed to provide twice the daily performance of MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR). The LFG ETFs have applied for conditional listing approval on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX").

"LongPoint is thrilled to be working with Universal Digital to develop the LFG ETFs, and we see this announcement as the first step in an exciting partnership based on each company's expertise in their respective fields. Combining LongPoint's ETF expertise with Universal Digital's expertise with blockchain and crypto will result in ETFs that add value for active Canadian investors," said Steve Hawkins, CEO of LongPoint. "We continue to see benefits from our flexible platform, allowing our partners like Universal Digital to focus on their own areas of expertise while we manage and administer the ongoing operations of the ETFs."

"LongPoint recognizes the pent-up demand of active Canadian investors for Canadian-listed daily reset double leveraged ETFs based on individual stocks. Canadians are actively using similar U.S. listed versions of these ETFs as their only trading option, and now with Universal Digital, we are pleased to potentially offer similar Canadian listed ETFs that will trade in Canadian dollars," said Steve Hawkins, CEO of LongPoint.

"We are proud to partner with LongPoint, an innovative ETF manager with a strong compliance and operational foundation," said Tim Chan, Chief Executive Officer of Universal Digital. "These ETFs offer Canadian investors unique access to amplified exposure to some of the most influential companies in the digital asset space and reflect our broader strategy to provide efficient investment vehicles that bridge traditional finance with Web3 innovation."

The LFG ETFs seek daily investment results that endeavour to correspond, before fees and expenses, to two times (2X) the daily return (on a percentage basis) of the respective common stock. The LFG ETFs will not hedge their exposure to the U.S. dollar and will only trade in Canadian Dollars.

The preliminary prospectus dated May 20, 2025, containing important information relating to the LFG ETFs has been filed with the securities commissions or similar authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada. A copy of the preliminary prospectus is available on www.sedarplus.ca. You cannot buy shares of the LFG ETFs until the relevant securities commissions or similar authorities issue receipts for the final prospectus of the LFG ETFs and they begin trading on the TSX.

The LFG ETFs are alternative mutual funds, and as such, the LFG ETFs are permitted to invest in asset classes or use investment strategies that are not permitted for other types of mutual funds. The LFG ETFs are highly speculative. The LFG ETFs use a significant amount of leverage which magnifies gains and losses. They are intended for use in daily or short-term trading strategies by very knowledgeable, sophisticated investors. If you hold such an ETF for more than one day, your return could vary considerably from the ETF's daily target return. The negative effect of compounding on returns is more pronounced when combined with leverage and daily rebalancing in volatile markets. The LFG ETFs are not suitable for investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their investments.

The LFG ETFs employ significant leverage, may experience amplified losses and should not be expected to return +200 of their daily targets over any period of time other than daily. An investor in an ETF could lose their entire investment within a single day if the market value of the respective common stock declines by 50% or more that day. The returns of the LFG ETFs over periods longer than one day will likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the return of their daily target for the same period. This effect is more pronounced for the LFG ETFs as the volatility of the daily target and/or the period of time increases.
