The all-share deal, dated September 22, 2026, is structured as an arm's-length qualifying transaction under TSX Venture Exchange rules. Terms were not disclosed.
What does Fanmore do? Its platform helps sports teams and leagues connect fan activity across digital touchpoints and reward engagement. Fanmore uses first-party data to support fan relationships and commercial partnerships.
What's the endgame? Falconstar is a capital pool company (CPC) — a listed shell with no operations and no assets beyond cash. The acquisition is its qualifying transaction: once complete, Falconstar will trade as the resulting issuer and continue Fanmore's business.
What are the terms? The deal hinges on a $2-million concurrent financing to close before completion. Falconstar will also extend a $100,000 secured working capital loan to Fanmore ahead of closing, subject to due diligence and TSX-V acceptance.
What could go wrong? Completion still requires a definitive agreement, satisfactory due diligence, and TSX-V, shareholder, and court approvals. Trading in Falconstar shares has been halted pending the exchange's requirements for resumption.
The signal: CPC listings give private startups a faster path to public markets than a traditional IPO. Fanmore's route reflects how consumer and sports-tech ventures are tapping Canada's venture exchange to fund growth and gain a public profile.
