Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information in Item 5.02 of this Current Report regarding the employment letter agreement entered into on December 29, 2023 between Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “Sigma” and the “Company”) and William Kerby is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

As previously disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 13, 2023 (the “Prior Current Report”), the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (as amended, the “Exchange Agreement”) with NextTrip Holdings, Inc. (“NextTrip”), NextTrip Group, LLC (“NextTrip Parent”), and William Kerby, as the NextTrip Representative, pursuant to which, amongst other things, we agreed to acquire NextTrip in exchange for shares of our common stock, subject to approval of our shareholders (the “Acquisition”).

On December 29, 2023, we completed the Acquisition, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, NextTrip became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the ongoing business of the Company became the business of NextTrip. NextTrip, together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is a travel company that connects people to new places and discoveries by utilizing digital media engagement, seasoned planning expertise, and unique inventory to curate custom vacations across the globe. By bridging technology, media and product offerings, NextTrip engages with the travelers of today while also building relationships with the travelers of tomorrow. For more information regarding NextTrip’s business, see the section entitled “Description of NextTrip Business” beginning on page 78 of our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on December 1, 2023 (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), which information is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with closing of the Acquisition, we issued to the NextTrip Parent’s members (the “NextTrip Sellers”) an aggregate of 156,007 restricted shares our common stock (the “Closing Shares”), constituting 19.99% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock immediately prior to closing of the Acquisition. Under the Exchange Agreement, the NextTrip Sellers will be entitled to receive additional shares of our common stock (the “Contingent Shares,” and together with the Closing Shares, the “Exchange Shares”) upon NextTrip’s achievement of future milestones, as follows:

Milestone	Date Earned	Contingent Shares
Launch of NextTrip’s leisure travel booking platform by either (i) achieving $1,000,000 in cumulative sales under its historical “phase 1” business, or (ii) commencement of its marketing program under its enhanced “phase 2” business.	As of a date six months after the closing date	1,450,000 Contingent Shares
Launch of NextTrip’s group travel booking platform and signing of at least five (5) entities to use the groups travel booking platform.	As of a date nine months from the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date)	1,450,000 Contingent Shares
Launch of NextTrip’s travel agent platform and signing up of at least 100 travel agents to the platform (which calculation includes individual agents of an agency that signs up on behalf of multiple agents).	As of a date 12 months from the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date)	1,450,000 Contingent Shares
Commercial launch of PayDelay technology in the NXT2.0 system.	As of a date 15 months after the closing date (or earlier date six months after the closing date)	1,650,000 Contingent Shares, less the Exchange Shares issued at the closing of the Acquisition

Alternatively, independent of achievement of the foregoing milestones, for each month during the 15-month period following the closing date in which $1,000,000 or more in gross travel bookings are generated by NextTrip, Inc., to the extent not previously issued, the Contingent Shares will be issuable in the order indicated above up to the maximum Exchange Shares issuable under the Exchange Agreement. In no event, however, will the Contingent Shares, together with the Closing Shares, exceed 6,000,000 shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment in the event of future stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar events.

Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, to the extent that we do not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock available for issuance of the Contingent Shares, in lieu thereof, we will issue shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock in form and substance satisfactory to the NextTrip Representative which, among other things, will provide for voting on an as-converted basis and will be automatically converted (on a one-for-one basis) into shares of our common stock once stockholder approval for an increase in our authorized shares of common stock has been obtained.

Additionally, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Kerby, in his capacity as the “NextTrip Representative,” will be entitled to designate one director to replace an incumbent director of the Company (other than Mr. Monaco, whose appointment is discussed in Item 5.02, below) in connection with the achievement of each milestone for the issuance of the Contingent Shares.

The Acquisition is treated as a reverse acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. For accounting purposes, therefore, NextTrip is considered to have acquired Sigma. As a result, effective upon closing of the Acquisition, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to February 28, which is NextTrip’s fiscal year end.

Additional information regarding the Exchange Agreement and the Acquisition is included in the Prior 8-K and the Definitive Proxy Statement, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Securities

The information in Item 2.01 regarding the issuance of the Closing Shares is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The NextTrip Sellers qualify as “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Closing Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and were, and the Contingent Shares will be, issued to the NextTrip Sellers in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided in Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. Accordingly, the shares, constitute, or will constitute when issued, “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Resignation of Director and Appointment of Successor

Effective concurrently with the completion of the Acquisition, Mark Ruport, the Chairman of the Board of Sigma, resigned as Chairman and as a director, and Donald P. Monaco was appointed by our Board of Directors as a director and Chairman of the Board to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Ruport’s resignation. On behalf of our Board of directors, we wish to thank Mr. Ruport’s for his able guidance in completing the Acquisition and many years of dedicated service to Sigma.

Mr. Ruport’s resignation was contemplated by the terms of the Exchange Agreement, as described in Item 2.01, and not as the result of any disagreements with the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Ruport received no severance in connection with his resignation.

Biographical information regarding Mr. Monaco is set forth in the section entitled “The Acquisition – Executive Officers and Directors Following the Closing of the Acquisition” beginning on page 33 of the Definitive Proxy Statement, which information is hereby incorporated herein by reference. It is currently expected that Mr. Monaco will be compensated for his service as a director in the same manner as our other non-employee directors and that we will enter into our standard-form indemnity agreement with Mr. Monaco. For information regarding the compensation of our non-employee directors, see the discussion in the section entitled “Executive Compensation – Director Compensation” beginning on page 107 of the Definitive Proxy Statement, which information is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

Resignation of Executive Officer and Appointment of Successor

Also effective concurrently with the completion of the Acquisition, Jacob Brunsberg resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer and William Kerby, Chief Executive Officer of NextTrip, was appointed by our Board of Directors as Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Brunsberg’s resignation was contemplated by the terms of the Exchange Agreement, as described in Item 2.01, and not as the result of any disagreements with the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. Mr. Brunsberg continues to serve as a member of our Board of Directors.

Biographical information regarding Mr. Kerby is set forth in the section entitled “The Acquisition – Executive Officers and Directors Following the Closing of the Acquisition” beginning on page 33 of the Definitive Proxy Statement, which information is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with this appointment as Chief Executive Officer of Company, the Company and Mr. Kerby entered into an employment letter agreement, dated as of December 29, 2023. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Kerby will be entitled to receive an annual base salary of $400,000, which is subject to increase (but not decrease) in the discretion of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors based on an annual or special case assessments of his performance and other factors. At the discretion of our Board of Directors, Mr. Kerby will also be eligible to earn a discretionary, annual fiscal end-of-year incentive bonus in an amount of up to 100% of his base annual salary. The exact amount of the incentive bonus will be dependent on the achievement of Company milestones and profitability, and such other milestones as the Board deems appropriate. Mr. Kerby will have the option of receiving some or all of his base annual salary and any incentive bonus in cash or in shares of our common stock valued for this purpose as set forth in his employment agreement and will be eligible to receive equity compensation at the discretion and in an amount to be determined by our Board of Directors.

During his employment, Mr. Kerby will be entitled to an automobile allowance of $1,500 per month and to receive all benefits under any and all deferred compensation plans, retirement plans, life, disability, health, accident and other insurance programs, and similar employee benefit plans and programs, sick leave and vacation time that the Company elects, in its sole discretion, to provide from time to time to its executive officers, and to earn four weeks of paid time off in accordance with the Company’s PTO policy.

Mr. Kerby has entered into various personal guarantees with the Airline Reporting Commission, sellers of travel, merchant providers, financial institutions, associations and service providers for the benefit of NextTrip, in consideration of which the Company agrees in his employment agreement to pay him a $2,000 per month guarantee fee for so long as the employment agreement and the guarantees remain in place. In the event Mr. Kerby resigns for “Good Reason” (as defined in the employment agreement), or his employment is terminated by the Company for any reason, the Company will immediately eliminate any and all guarantees failing which, for each month the guarantees remain in place, the monthly guarantee fee will rise to $10,000 per month after 30 days in the event the Company is unable to assume the guarantees during such 30-day period.

The term of Mr. Kerby’s employment under his employment agreement will continue from month-to-month until terminated by either party with 30 days’ prior written notice, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms thereof. Should the Company notice the termination of Mr. Kerby’s employment agreement (other than as a result of death, “Disability” or “Cause,” as defined therein), he will be entitled to payment of an amount equal to 12 months of his base annual salary in a lump sum payment upon termination and the continuation of his health care coverage, at the Company’s expense, for up to 12 months following the termination (collectively, the “Kerby Severance Payments”).

We also expect to enter into our standard-form indemnity agreement with Mr. Kerby.

The term of employment under this Agreement shall commence and this Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date, and shall continue from month-to-month thereafter until terminated by either party with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof (the “Term”). Should the Company notice the Executive of termination of the Agreement (other than as a result of death, Disability or Cause as specified in Section 4(b)(ii) or (iii)), the Executive shall be entitled to the benefits as outlined in Section 4(b). This Agreement will constitute the full and complete agreement between you and the Company as to your Employment, which may only be changed in an express written agreement signed by you and a duly authorized officer of the Company.

(b) Incentive Compensation. At the discretion of the Board, you will be eligible to earn a discretionary, annual fiscal end-of-year incentive bonus in an amount bonus in an amount of up to 100% of your Base Salary.

(c) Stock Payment Option. The Executive will have the option of receiving some or all of the Base Salary and/or any bonus payable hereunder in cash or in shares of the Company’s common stock, with the stock portion being based on the higher of (a) the closing sales price per share on the trading day immediately preceding the determination by the Executive to accept shares in lieu of cash, if the shares (for example, if the Executive provides notice of his intent to exercise the Stock Option on April 10th, the closing sales price per share on April 9th (assuming it is a trading day) would be the price used for (a)); and (b) the lowest price at which such issuance will not require shareholder approval under the exchange where the Company’s common stock is then listed or Nasdaq ((a) or (b) as applicable, the “Share Price” and the “Stock Option”), provided that the Executive shall be required to provide the Company at least five business days prior written notice if he desires to exercise the Stock Option as to any payment of compensation due hereunder, unless such time period is waived by the Company. The issuance of the shares described above shall be, where applicable, subject to the approval of the exchange where the Company’s common stock is then listed or Nasdaq, and where applicable, shareholder approval, and in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, may be issued under, or outside of, a shareholder approved stock plan.

(f) Other Remuneration.

-5-

(ii) It is intended that none of the Severance Benefits will constitute Deferred Payments but rather will be exempt from Section 409A as a payment that would fall within the “short-term deferral period” as described in Section 5(b)(iii) below or resulting from an involuntary separation from service as described in Section 5(b)(iv) below. In no event will you have discretion to determine the taxable year of payment of any Deferred Payment.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if you are a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of your separation from service (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are payable within the first 6 months following your separation from service, will become payable on the date 6 months and 1 day following the date of your separation from service.

(v) Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A- 1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of this Section 5.

(vi) The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with or be exempt from the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the Severance Benefits will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt.

Sigma Additive Solutions Completes Acquisition of Travel Technology Company NextTrip Holdings

Sigma Additive Solutions Shareholders Approved Proposals Enabling Acquisition of NextTrip Holdings, Inc. on December 28, 2023

NextTrip Specializes in Using Proprietary Technology, Analytics and Strategic Partnerships to Provide Specialized Solutions in Leisure, Wellness and Business Travel

Santa Fe, NM – January 3, 2024 – Sigma Additive Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:SASI) (“Sigma”, “we,” “our,” or the “Company”) today announced the completion of its acquisition of NextTrip Holdings, Inc., a travel technology company based in Sunrise, Florida (“NextTrip”), through a previously announced share exchange. The acquisition, which was first announced October 2023, closed on December 29, 2023, at which time NextTrip became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, effective upon closing of the acquisition, Jacob Brunsberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sigma, resigned from such roles, and Bill Kerby, Chief Executive Officer of NextTrip, was appointed a Chief Executive Officer of Sigma. Mr. Brunsberg will continue to serve as a director on Sigma’s board.

On December 28, 2023, at Sigma’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders, Sigma shareholders voted to approve the issuance of shares of Sigma common stock associated with the acquisition of NextTrip, pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement entered into with NextTrip and certain other parties in October 2023, and to further approve the terms of such Share Exchange Agreement.

“We are pleased to have received the overwhelming support of shareholders that voted for this transformative acquisition,” said Jacob Brunsberg, former President and Chief Executive Officer of Sigma.

“We look forward to integrating NextTrip in the near-term and working with the NextTrip team to increase shareholder value by providing a significant opportunity to participate in a leading travel brand with an array of product offerings and concierge services.”

Bill Kerby, Chief Executive Officer of NextTrip and the newly appointed Chief Executive Officer of Sigma, commented, “We thank everyone who participated in the meeting and vote, and believe the acquisition will maximize value for all shareholders. This transaction will allow NextTrip the ability to execute our strategic growth plans and expand our reach into new markets as part of a public company for the benefit of Sigma equity holders, while tying the issuance of additional earn out equity to clear business objectives for NextTrip. Our growth and expansion plans are highly focused on the roll out of key technology developments that will broaden our footprint as an innovative travel technology company specializing in using proprietary technology, analytics, and strategic partnerships to provide customized, unique and differentiated travel solutions in leisure, wellness, and business travel. As a public company with access to additional sources of capital, we will be focused on scaling our travel booking engine that, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, had an over 6 million legacy customer database and generated over $400 million in bookings in 2019.”

Lyndsey North, President of NextTrip, commented, “This transaction is the capstone to a foundation-building 2023 for NextTrip, and we believe that it positions us for a transformational year ahead. Throughout the year we continued to position NextTrip as a significant player in the travel space, building over 200 direct relationships with blue-chip travel organizations, as well as major industry suppliers for air, hotel and other travel and travel-related services to ensure robust products and an offering of more than 2 million hotels worldwide. Our focus was on contracting and re-contracting with travel product suppliers and connecting APIs with vendors and suppliers. Our platform is now directly connected to top channel managers such as Dingus, HBSI and more. We also have in place a dedicated U.S.-based call center team with decades of product and destination knowledge.

“Our team has been diligently working on a comprehensive technology update and integration of our acquired scalable travel booking engine into the NextTrip ecosystem in preparation for its full launch. A soft launch in late November 2023 resulted in top-line revenue growth of over 75% vs the prior month. At go-live, we expect to have over 3 million properties available in more than 200 countries worldwide. Additionally, we have a curated collection of more than 200 of the most sought-after resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean that we intend to strategically scale. In the past several weeks, we have been beta testing the platform, technology, and connections. A marketing beta program received strong opens and conversions to bookings. We are now preparing to shift to the live production site and ramping up marketing to our 6+ million customer database, with a target launch in the next 30-60 days. Looking ahead into 2024, we are highly enthusiastic for our business and expect the launch and ramp of our booking platform will act as a significant accelerator for NextTrip,” concluded North.

Additional information about the acquisition and the terms thereof are included in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed by Sigma with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 10, 2023 and January 3, 2024, as well as the Definitive Proxy Statement filed by Sigma with the SEC on December 1, 2023. Additional information about Sigma’s annual meeting of shareholders and items approved at thereat are included in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Sigma with the SEC on January 2, 2023, as well as the Definitive Proxy Statement filed by Sigma with the SEC on December 1, 2023.

Highlights of NextTrip & the Acquisition

● As previously announced on October 13, 2023, Sigma entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with NextTrip and certain other parties, pursuant to which it agreed to acquire 100% of the capital stock of NextTrip in exchange for shares of Sigma common stock constituting 19.99% of its outstanding common stock at closing of the acquisition, plus additional contingent shares of Sigma common stock upon the achievement of post-closing milestone earnouts tied to the business performance of NextTrip.

● Assuming all business milestones are achieved, NextTrip’s equity holders will receive a total of 6 million shares of Sigma common stock, resulting in existing Sigma holders retaining, on a pro forma basis, approximately 11.5% of the total outstanding shares.

● At closing, Sigma President and CEO, Jacob Brunsberg, resigned from such roles (but will remain a director on the company’s board), and NextTrip CEO, William Kerby was appointed as CEO of the company. Additionally, Mark Ruport, chairman of the company’s board of directors, resigned, and Donald Monaco, who was designated by NextTrip, was appointed as a director and chairman to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Ruport’s resignation.

● Going forward, the remaining board seats will continue to be filled by Sigma’s current directors during the realignment period, with NextTrip earning the right to designate additional board members and officers upon reaching business milestones in accordance with the Share Exchange Agreement.

● The company intends to change its ticker symbol to “NTRP” in the near future, and subject to stockholder approval, to change the name of the company to NextTrip, Inc.

● Lake Street Capital Markets acted as the financial advisor to Sigma in connection with the acquisition.

● The acquisition provides the opportunity for NextTrip to become a publicly traded company on Nasdaq. The transaction will be transformational since, as a public company, NextTrip is expected to have access to additional sources of capital on more favorable terms to fund strategic growth initiatives, as well as the ability to tap into adjacent markets and more efficiently scale existing operations.

● NextTrip recently completed the acquisition and integration of a scalable travel booking engine that, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, had a 6 million + legacy customer database and generated over $400 million in bookings in 2019. The parties expect that the booking engine acquisition will act as a significant accelerator to the company’s business.

● NextTrip has assembled a team with more than 100 years of combined travel experience that brings deep experience across key areas of the travel industry including online travel distribution, wholesale distribution and travel technology. We believe that the team’s strong relationships and industry experience serve as a catalyst for positioning NextTrip as a significant player in the travel space.

● In 2023, NextTrip established more than 200 direct relationships with blue-chip travel organizations, as well as major industry suppliers for air, hotel and other travel and travel-related services to ensure robust products and an offering of more than 2 million hotels worldwide.

● Following a period of strategic realignment which is tied to certain NextTrip business objectives, NextTrip’s potential future initiatives will be focused on driving the company’s renewed growth agenda, exploring strategic M&A to drive revenue synergies through the expansion of product and travel consumer offerings, and continuing to invest in the development of innovative technologies to connect travel customers for discovery and booking domestic and international destinations.
