Mindflair, the company investing in next-generation technology focused on AI, notes the announcement made by Infinite Reality ("iR") on 22 January 2025 ("Announcement"). iR acquired Landvault, a portfolio company of the first Sure Valley Ventures fund ("SVV1"), in July 2024 and so SVV1 now has a shareholding in iR. Key information from the Announcement includes:

•     iR has agreed with Nasdaq Private Market (NPM) to establish a company-sponsored secondary trading program and marketplace for its private securities.

•     The program will offer eligible Infinite Reality shareholders, including employees and investors, with access to NPM's trusted and regulated marketplace and platform, providing a structured way for eligible interested buyers and sellers to participate in secondary transactions of its private shares.
