(“Boardwalktech” or the “Company”), a leading provider of patented digital ledger and AI-enabled enterprise software solutions for intelligent information management, today announced that it has closed an additional tranche (the “Second Tranche”) of its non-brokered private placement (the “Offering”) of units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of C$0.035 per Unit. Under the Second Tranche, the Company issued 31,905,286 Units for gross proceeds of C$1,116,685, bringing the total gross proceeds of this Offering to C$1,500,000. Each Unit consists of one common share (a “Common Share”) and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of C$0.05 for a period of two years from the date of issuance.

Certain finders in the Second Tranche received 8% cash and 8% non-transferable finder’s warrants exercisable for common shares of the Company at C$0.05 per share for two years, for an aggregate of 2,001,142 finder’s warrants and C$66,040 cash commissions paid in the Second Tranche.

Insiders of the Company participated in both the First and Second Tranche for an aggregate of 3,080,000 Units for a total of C$118,685. Such participation will constitute a “related party transaction” as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”) and the Company will rely on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the securities paid by such insiders, will exceed 25% of the Issuer’s market capitalization.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering in connection with general corporate purposes.

Completion of the Offering is subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The Units were issued pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 respecting Prospectus Exemptions. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of issuance.

The Units have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or any U.S. state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the “United States” or “U.S. persons” (as such terms are defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act and all applicable U.S. state securities laws or compliance with an exemption from such registration requirements. This press release is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to qualification or registration under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

The Company also announces that it has renewed its engagement with Sophic Capital Inc. (“Sophic Capital”) as its investor relations partner under a new agreement dated April 19, 2026. Sophic Capital is a comprehensive capital markets advisory firm specializing in small-cap growth companies.

Pursuant to the agreement between the Company and Sophic Capital (the “Agreement”), Sophic will receive $8,000 per month for a term of 12 months. In addition, Boardwalktech has granted the firm options to purchase up to 700,000 common shares at a price of $0.05 per share. The options vest quarterly in four equal tranches of 175,000 and expire on the earlier of (i) 90 days after the termination of the engagement, or (ii) April 19, 2031. The options are governed by the provisions of Boardwalktech’s’ stock option plan and the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV).

Chef Robotics Physical AI Models Can Now Automate Baked Goods Packing

Published

on

By

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chef Robotics, a leader in physical AI for the food industry, today announced that Chef robots can now automate tray assembly for baked goods packing. The application places baked products, such as burger buns, chocolate chip cookies, biscotti, butter cookies, biscuits, fortune cookies, granola bars, rusks, and shortbreads into trays and packaging containers before sealing.

Watch Chef robots in action.

Baked goods packing has historically been difficult to automate for high-mix production. Each item behaves differently on the production line—a granola bar compresses under the wrong grip, while a biscotti or rusk can crack if placed at the wrong angle. Surface textures range from glazed and smooth to crumbly and irregular, and strict presentation requirements leave little room for error. This variability has made it challenging for automation systems to reliably handle baked goods at production speeds, leaving food manufacturers dependent on manual labor and traditional bakery equipment.

To address this, Chef built its baked goods packing application on its existing piece-picking capability, which uses Chef’s AI-powered computer vision and physical AI models trained across diverse real-world production environments. This allows Chef robots to assess each item’s position, shape, and orientation in real time and determine how to pick the items from the pan and place them quickly and precisely without damaging them.

The baked goods packing application supports four distinct placement capabilities.

First, Chef’s vision system detects the angle at which each item sits in the pan and reorients it after picking, placing it on the tray at the exact angle required, regardless of its original position, enabling retail-ready presentation for SKUs that require precise angular placement.

Second, Chef robots can place multiple baked goods into the same packaging container in a single automated pass, completing full tray assembly without manual intervention.

Third, for packaging containers with multiple small compartments, Chef robots can precisely place items into each designated section, including multiple items in the same compartment, using Chef’s AI vision model to detect compartment positions and orientations in real time.

Fourth, Chef’s vision system identifies the exact center of each tray and places every item at a predefined offset from that center, ensuring a uniform, consistent arrangement across every pack regardless of how trays arrive on the conveyor.

For food manufacturers evaluating bakery systems and baked goods packaging automation, the application offers higher throughput, reduced labor dependency, and consistent presentation across shifts. The capability runs on Chef’s existing robotic hardware and software, allowing manufacturers to deploy it without requiring any changes to their production lines.

Chef’s baked goods packing application is available in the U.S., Canada, Germany, and the UK and is included as part of Chef’s robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) pricing model.

Chef is the first company to have commercialized a scalable AI-driven food robotics solution. With over 104 million servings made in production, Chef leverages ChefOS, an AI platform for food manipulation, to offer a Robotics-as-a-Service solution that helps industry-leading food companies increase production volume and meet demand.
