These firms were responsible for providing Taal with 50,000 cloud computing units based out of the United States. The $4 Million deal of non-operation units was to be completed using non-voting participating shares (NVPS).

Additionally, Ayre is reported to have convertible debenture in Taal that will transform into common shares of the company in May 2020. The NVPS option will be exercised in case the amount of common shares in Taal goes below 40 percent. In such a case, the NVPS will change into common shares to maintain more than 45 percent shareholdings.
