7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On
December 20, 2023, FingerMotion, Inc. (the Company or FingerMotion) issued a news release to provided an
update on its Big Data subsidiary branded Sapientus. Highlights include the following:
| 1. | Big
Data models are well positioned for commercialization in the coming year. Sapientus expects
to engage more partners for commercial applications and expanded use cases. |
| 2. | Existing
partners are in the integration phase, gradually ramping up adoption, and are expected to
transition to large scale commercialization phase in the next 2-3 years. |
| 3. | Big
Data product modules are evolving at an ever-increasing pace, with insurance modules expected
to move beyond underwriting and risk management to sales and customer engagements. In addition,
a growing number of modules that extend beyond insurance will be designed and structured
if well aligned. |
| 4. | As
developmental milestones are reached from these innovations, the Company looks to move from
per-usage charges to profit sharing and/or commission-based arrangements. |
The
past year has been transformative to Sapientus - the proprietary analytic models have been collaboratively tested and validated with
empirical insurance data. The studies have demonstrated a high degree of accuracy in their predictive value in tracking substandard cases
which is pivotal in the enhancement of the overall insurance underwriting experience. Within the health insurance segment, the algorithms
have empowered reinsurance providers with more flexibility to manage insurance portfolios and hopefully improve profitability. Extending
beyond insurance, the analytical capabilities of these intelligent models should assist in identifying ideal customers with higher engagement
levels.
We
are just scratching the surface of what is possible in our Big Data division, said Martin Shen, CEO of FingerMotion. Reinsurance
is a very large business, but as artificial intelligence has shown us, the market for predictable algorithms is almost infinite.
Looking
ahead to 2024, Sapientus targets the following objectives:
| 1. | Steady
expansion of services to reach larger audiences via new and innovated modules that are bespoken,
leveraging ongoing partnerships and our integrated analytics platform; |
| 2. | Additional
re/insurer partnerships following positive receptive feedback from recent business summits;
and |
| 3. | Brokerage
services and solutions, perhaps through acquisitions or partnerships, to broaden our market
footprint and capture a greater scope of commercial opportunities. |

Safe
Harbor Statement
Except
for the statements of historical fact contained herein, the information presented in this news release constitutes "forward-looking
statements" as such term is used in applicable United States securities laws. These statements relate to analysis and other information
that are based on forecasts or future results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management. Any other statements
that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or
future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects", or "does not expect",
"is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates" or "intends",
or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will"
be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and should be viewed as "forward-looking statements".
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations about future events or performance, including expected revenues.
While we believe these expectations are reasonable, such forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties,
many of which are beyond our control. Our actual future results may differ materially from those discussed or implied in our forward-looking
statements for various reasons. Factors that could contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: international, national
and local general economic and market conditions; demographic changes; the ability of the Company to sustain, manage or forecast its
growth; the ability of the Company to manage its VIE contracts; the ability of the Company to maintain its relationships and licenses
in China; adverse publicity; competition and changes in the Chinese telecommunications market; fluctuations and difficulty in forecasting
operating results; business disruptions, such as technological failures and/or cybersecurity breaches; and the other factors discussed
in the Company's periodic reports that are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on its website (http://www.sec.gov).
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially
from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained
in this news release and in any document referred to in this news release. The forward-looking statements included in this release are
made only as of the date hereof. For forward-looking statements in this news release, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor
for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Report Act of 1995. The Company assumes no obligation to
update or supplement any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This news release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to our securities.
