(CSE: SHLF) (OTCQB: SHLFF), a technology company specializing in shelf inventory management solutions for the retail industry, announced the closing of its previously disclosed acquisition of a 70% interest in Aspect Information Systems Ltd. on a fully diluted basis. The company paid total consideration of approximately US$1.58 million to Aspect's sole shareholder, consisting of approximately US$1.23 million in cash and 269,231 Shelfietech common shares valued at US$350,000. The shares are subject to a statutory hold period expiring March 5, 2027.
The acquisition matters because it gives Shelfie-Tech control of a majority stake in Aspect, potentially strengthening its ability to serve large grocery stores and supermarkets with automated shelf monitoring technology.

In connection with the acquisition, Shelfietech also agreed to provide Aspect with a US$595,000 convertible loan, including US$170,000 advanced at closing and the remaining US$425,000 due by Jan. 31, 2027. The loan matures on the earlier of Jan. 1, 2031, or the date Aspect's former sole shareholder ceases to hold shares in Aspect. At maturity, Shelfietech may elect repayment or conversion into Aspect shares based on a pre-money fully diluted valuation of approximately US$3.32 million, or agree to an extension.
