New York, NY — May 7, 2026 — International Star Inc. (OTCID: ILST) (“ILST”) today announced a strategic repositioning of its business, focusing on delivering practical and accessible artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions tailored to small and medium-sized enterprises.
ILST believes that while AI technology is increasingly available, many small businesses remain underserved due to complexity, cost, and limited internal resources. ILST’s updated strategy is designed to close this gap by offering simplified, affordable, and purpose-built AI tools.
Strategic Growth Through Targeted Developments
As part of this transition, ILST is actively engaged in discussions with multiple SaaS companies regarding potential mergers and acquisitions. The objective is to accelerate market entry and establish a presence in high-potential verticals.
The Company has executed non-disclosure agreements and letters of intent with select targets and is currently evaluating opportunities in sectors including education technology (EdTech) and property management, among others.
“We are repositioning ILST around a clear and focused vision, bringing practical AI tools to the small businesses that need them most,” said Rob Klein of International Star Inc. “The opportunities we are evaluating demonstrate strong product-market fit and early revenue traction beyond pilot programs.”
Focus on Revenue and Execution
ILST emphasized that its target opportunities share key characteristics:
- Active customer engagement beyond pilot stages
- Defined go-to-market strategies with measurable revenue potential
- Product capabilities aligned with ILST’s small-business AI mission
ILST expects these attributes to support the launch of differentiated offerings, either through partnerships or under a unified brand.
Financing and Financial Reporting
In parallel, ILST is in discussions with prospective lenders and financial partners to secure capital that would support working capital needs and bridge short-term cash flow requirements during the transition.
A portion of any financing is expected to be allocated to fund an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements, an important step toward strengthening corporate governance and supporting long-term growth.
Litigation Update
ILST also acknowledges the ongoing litigation, reaffirming its position and confidence in its legal standing. ILST thanks its legal counsel and will continue to provide updates as appropriate and in accordance with disclosure requirements.
Outlook
Management believes that combining a refined AI-focused strategy, targeted acquisition activity, ongoing financing efforts, and improved financial transparency will lay the foundation for rebuilding ILST and driving sustainable growth. ILST intends to provide further updates as definitive agreements are reached and asmaterial developments occur.
