FingerMotion, Inc. (NASDAQ: FNGR) entered into a share‑exchange agreement to acquire all outstanding shares of Telforge, Inc., a Nevada‑based voice and messaging telecom service provider. The deal will see FingerMotion issue up to 7,333,333 shares of its common stock in exchange for Telforge’s equity, with 2,333,333 shares released immediately at closing and an additional 5,000,000 shares held in escrow subject to earnout milestones.
The earnout structure is tied to revenue and secured contract value targets. In the first three‑month period after closing, Telforge must generate cumulative revenue and contract value of $2.5 million to earn 2,000,000 milestone shares. In the second six‑month period, the target rises to $5 million, unlocking an additional 3,000,000 shares. Shares that remain unearned after the earnout periods are forfeited, ensuring that the transaction is performance‑based and aligns the interests of both parties.
Strategically, the acquisition expands FingerMotion’s telecom service portfolio by adding voice, SMS, and data messaging capabilities that complement its existing mobile recharge and payment platform. It also broadens FingerMotion’s U.S. geographic footprint and strengthens its position in the competitive telecom infrastructure market, potentially accelerating revenue growth and creating a new source of recurring service income.
FingerMotion’s recent financial performance underscores the strategic importance of the deal. In Q3 2026, the company reported revenue of $5.80 million, a 32% decline year‑over‑year, and a net loss of $1.67 million. Capital constraints and a strategic pivot toward its Command and Communication segment have limited growth in its core telecom business. The acquisition is therefore viewed as a move to diversify revenue streams and mitigate headwinds by leveraging Telforge’s established voice and messaging platform without the need for significant hardware investment.
CEO Martin Shen said, "The acquisition of Telforge would provide FingerMotion with the ability to manage and run tens of millions of minutes monthly – telecommunications, voice, SMS and data messages and calls – via its proprietary switching platform. Upon closing this acquisition we expect to be able to scale and significantly grow annualized revenues without having to add hardware and capital costs. This would also supplement our existing business by giving us a U.S. based operating model."
The transaction is a material event that will influence FingerMotion’s future earnings and strategic trajectory. The share‑exchange structure, earnout conditions, and the company’s recent financial context highlight the significance of this acquisition for investors and stakeholders.
