Its original core product, the Virtual Promoter, is a gesture-controlled retail display used historically by clients the company and public sources cite including Porsche, Haribo and LEGO. In January 2026 AMERIA and Sony Professional Displays publicly launched StarKit — gesture-control and content-management software paired with Sony’s glasses-free Spatial Reality Display — which won an ISE 2026 “Best of Show” award; the company reports it earns software and product licence income from this partnership. AMERIA is also developing Maverick AI, an AI/3D laptop concept it calls the “Workspace of the Future”, which is the stated focus of this round’s use of funds. Audited FY2024 revenue was €0.54m (down 27% year-on-year) with a €5.08m net loss; the company reports the deck figure of “over 70 employees”, while the EY audit records 25 average employees. This is AMERIA’s tenth Companisto financing round (“Financing Round X”), raising up to €11,997,000 in depot-capable shares to fund development, industrialisation and marketing.</span></span></p> <h2><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">💶 Valuation</span></span></h2> <table cellspacing="0" class="Table" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:none; width:624px"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-left:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-right:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-top:1px solid #d9d9d9; vertical-align:top; width:173px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">Pre-money valuation</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-top:1px solid #d9d9d9; vertical-align:top; width:451px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">€241.4m (company-stated).</span></span></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-color:#f4f2ec; border-bottom:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-left:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-right:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:173px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><strong><span style="color:black">Post-money valuation</span></strong></span></span></p> </td> <td style="border-bottom:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-left:none; border-right:1px solid #d9d9d9; border-top:none; vertical-align:top; width:451px"> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Up to ~€253.4m if the full €11,997,000 raise completes (pre-money + raise).

In practice this means you have almost no individual say at shareholder meetings, and decisions — including whether to sell the company — are determined by the pooled majority, not by you.</span></span></p> <h3><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Dilution and future rounds</span></span></h3> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“Dilution” means your ownership percentage shrinks when the company issues new shares. The company intends to keep raising money — this is already its tenth round, framed as growth financing ahead of an exit — but no size or timing for a next round is disclosed. Crowdfund investors have only weighted-average down-round protection that runs for 24 months from the 2018 shareholders’ agreement; whether fresh protection attaches to investors entering in 2026 is not clearly evidenced, so you should assume you have little or no anti-dilution protection.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Worked example (standard cap-table mechanics, not advice): if you invest €3,000 today at the ~€253m post-money valuation, you own approximately 0.0012% of the company. If AMERIA then raises €5m at a €300m pre-money valuation (a successful up-round), your stake is diluted to approximately 0.00116%. If instead the next round is a down-round at €150m pre-money, your stake is diluted to approximately 0.00114% and the implied value of your shares falls by roughly 38% in line with the lower price, because your protection is limited.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Separately, up to 10% of share capital is reserved for an employee share scheme (ESOP); when those shares are issued they dilute you further, and the anti-dilution clause explicitly does not protect you against ESOP dilution. You have a right of first refusal only on transfers of large blocks (over 15% of capital) — not a general right to buy into future funding rounds to defend your percentage. Treat your stake as something that will shrink over time.</span></span></p> <h3><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Exit and liquidation mechanics</span></span></h3> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“Liquidation preference” sets who gets paid first if the company is sold or wound up. Here A-share shareholders (including you) first receive back the nominal plus capital-reserve amount they paid in, before the remainder is shared pro-rata — an approximately 1× non-participating preference. Crucially, most of your €1,500 per share is the capital-reserve payment, so this preference is mainly a return-of-capital mechanic; in a low-value exit, creditors and silent partners rank ahead of equity entirely, and you could receive little or nothing.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">“Drag-along” lets a majority force everyone to sell on the same terms: here a simple majority (over 50% of votes cast) can compel all shareholders — including the pooled crowd — into a sale. “Tag-along” lets you join a sale on the same terms when large holders sell more than 25% of capital, which protects you from being left behind. On top of this, the Pool Manager takes a 10% carry (5% if you invest over €100,000) on gains above a 6%-per-year hurdle, reducing your net proceeds at exit.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">There is no fixed lock-up stated, but transfers require company (Supervisory Board) consent, the shareholder and pool agreements run for a 15-year minimum term from 2018, and the shares are not listed on any exchange — there is no active secondary market.
