Pivotal Combination Increases Glimpse's Annual Revenue Base by Approximately $5 million, Strengthens Operating Foundation, Adds Tier 1 Customers and Deepens Executive Team

The Glimpse Group, Inc. ("Glimpse") (NASDAQ:VRAR) (FSE:9DR), a diversified Virtual Reality ("VR") and Augmented Reality ("AR") platform company providing enterprise-focused VR and AR software and services solutions, today announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to merge Brightline Interactive ("BLI"), a global leader in the immersive technology industry, into a new dedicated Glimpse subsidiary.

Brightline Interactive is a global provider of VR, AR, 5G integration, spatial computing, and deep tech software and service solutions. It designs, builds, integrates, and supports immersive and interactive experiences, training scenarios, and simulations for both government and commercial customers. Key commercial customers include companies such as AT&T and Coca-Cola. BLI has a significant presence in the government sector as a direct contractor, including projects with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the United States Air Force, and the National Institutes for Health (NIH), to name a few. BLI has 28 employees, was founded in 2004 and is based in Ashburn, VA. In addition, BLI has been issued one US patent: "System and Method for Generating an Augmented Reality Experience" and has been issued an allowance of a second VR patent application, expected to be to be finalized in Q3, 2022.

Founder, Erik Muendel, who is currently a Managing Partner of BLI, said, "Ever since I started this adventure in 2004, we have focused on people, cutting edge capabilities, technology and culture. We never brought in institutional capital and built the company from the ground up independently. Given the evolution of the immersive industry, we feel that this is the right time to join forces with a company like Glimpse in order to accelerate growth and reach critical scale. We are strong independently, but much stronger together."

Mr. Muendel will be spearheading integration between the various groups and playing an advisory role on technical solutions, process and creative direction for BLI during its transition into the Glimpse organization.
