ROUNDTABLE $RTB SIGNS 10-YEAR $1B AGREEMENT WITH ARENA GROUP $PAAI TO MIGRATE MEDIA PORTFOLIO TO ITS AI/DEFI MEDIAOS - PRESS RELEASE

CEO, James Heckman announced a 10-year, $1 billion agreement with The Arena Group, now known as Paradium.AI (NYSE: PAAI), to migrate, operate and monetize Arena's premium media portfolio on Roundtable's AI/DeFi-powered MediaOS, bringing global scale to the world's most advanced platform.

Following deal closure, Roundtable forecasts a $100 million annualized revenue and an EBITDA-positive run rate - on a stand-alone basis, with 100 million monthly consumers - ensuring global media partners can thrive safely in sovereignty.

The transaction will deliver global scale and a profitable ecosystem to the world's leading professional media brands and journalists. Roundtable's operating system, powered by AI and DeFi, eliminates publishers' infrastructure and operational costs by replacing antiquated systems with a single unified AI based platform. It encompasses AI-integration, DeFi reporting and payments, on-chain publishing, hosting, monetization, syndication, ad operations, AI-resistance, brand safety, IP and audience security - while publishers remain fully sovereign over their brands, domains, journalism, IP and audiences.

The partnership reunites founding leaders PAAI CEO Paul Edmondson, with RTB founders Heckman and Bill Sornsin, who were last teamed in 2020. The teams believe combining platforms and distribution will accelerate growth, save tens of millions in costs and amplify profits for both companies. Following the Arena partnership, RTB anticipates hundreds of large-scale customers joining the hundreds of professional journalists already adopting its revolutionary Operating System.
