CORRECTION FROM SOURCE: OCAL Financial Adds AI Sales-Agent Technology Built Around Its Proprietary Knowledge Base

An early step toward a future end-to-end AI sales closer

OCAL Financial Inc. (TSXV: OCAL) ("OCAL" or the "Company") is issuing this news release to correct and replace its news release titled "OCAL Financial Signs Exclusive Agreement With SalesCloser Technologies to Deploy AI Sales Agents Across the Vehicle-Finance Journey," disseminated via Newsfile Corp. on August 13, 2026 at approximately 12:35 p.m. ET; that release incorrectly described the Company's arrangement with SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. as an "exclusive" agreement, when in fact the arrangement is not exclusive and OCAL is using SalesCloser's conversational AI sales-agent technology on a non-exclusive basis, with OCAL's own proprietary knowledge base at the core of how that technology is applied. The corrected and replacing news release is set out in full below.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2026) - OCAL Financial Inc. (TSXV: OCAL) ("OCAL" or the "Company") today announced that it will begin using conversational AI sales-agent technology developed by SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. ("SalesCloser"), applied with OCAL's own proprietary knowledge base at its core.

The technology is a delivery layer. What makes it valuable to OCAL is the Company's proprietary knowledge base, built over years of funding vehicle deals: how its credit and lender routing works, what different lenders look for, how vehicles are sourced and priced, and how customers move through the process. OCAL intends to pair SalesCloser's conversational AI agents with that knowledge base, so the agents are grounded in OCAL's own data and process rather than in generic sales scripts.

SalesCloser's technology supports AI agents that can hold real, personalized conversations with customers across voice and digital channels, including qualifying interest, answering questions and following up. Used together with OCAL's knowledge base, the aim is to engage more of the people who come to OCAL looking to finance a vehicle, more consistently, and to help guide them toward an approval.

OCAL already uses voice AI to reach and qualify prospective customers. This is a step forward from that starting point, adding more capable conversational agents that draw on the Company's own knowledge base to handle a wider range of customer interactions.

Over the longer term, OCAL sees this work as groundwork for a larger goal: building an end-to-end AI sales closer. Working with a future AI partner, OCAL intends to develop a system in which AI can take a customer through the full journey, from first contact, through financing and the structuring of an approved deal, to closing, and through to sourcing the right vehicle through the auction process. This is a future objective. It is at an early, conceptual stage, and there is no assurance that any such system will be developed or deployed on any timeline, or at all.
