CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Name, Address and Incorporation

The Corporation was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on August 12, 2011 under the name "Nebo Capital Corp." ("Nebo"). On March 2, 2012, Nebo completed an initial public offering by way of a capital pool company prospectus. On May 1, 2017 Nebo was continued into British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) ("BCBCA").

Subsequent to its most recently completed financial year, Quisitive completed the Business Combination and filed Articles of Amendment to effect a name change from "Nebo Capital Corp." to "Quisitive Technology Solutions, Inc." (the "Name Change"). See "General Development of the Business - Recent Developments - The Business Combination".

Note:

There are an additional 1,000,000 common shares in the capital of LedgerPay authorized but not yet issued which may be issued to third parties as employee incentives from time to time, subject to TSXV approval, which shall be convertible into 2,124,000 Quisitive Shares. Upon issuance of those additional 1,000,000 common shares of LedgerPay, the Corporation's indirect interest in LedgerPay would be reduced from 89% to 80%. See "General Development of the Business - Three Year History and Significant Acquisitions - Business Combination and 2018".

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

Recent Developments

Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, the only active business operations of Nebo was to seek, evaluate and negotiate a potential "Qualifying Transaction" pursuant to the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"), and meet the disclosure obligations imposed upon it as a reporting issuer in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. Following the completion of the Business Combination, Quisitive continued the business of Quisitive LLC and LedgerPay.

The Business Combination

Nebo, Fusion Agiletech and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nebo entered into a definitive business combination agreement dated June 25, 2018, as amended July 28, 2018, providing for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Fusion Agiletech. The Business Combination, which was completed on August 9, 2018, was structured as a Canadian three-cornered amalgamation transaction, and constituted a reverse takeover of Quisitive by Fusion Agiletech, pursuant to which Fusion Agiletech amalgamated with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nebo, and Nebo acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Fusion Agiletech, in exchange for the common shares of Nebo on a one-for-one basis, such that Fusion Agiletech became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nebo. The Business Combination also provided that all outstanding convertible securities to purchase common shares of Fusion Agiletech were either exchanged in accordance with their terms, on a one-for-one basis, for economically equivalent securities of Nebo, or became exercisable for equivalent securities of Nebo in lieu of securities of Fusion Agiletech, and otherwise on the same terms and conditions. The completion of the Business Combination constituted Nebo's "Qualifying Transaction" pursuant to the applicable policies of the TSXV. In connection with the completion of the Business Combination, Nebo effected the Name Change.
