This filing effectively hollows out Hestia Insight, transferring all operating assets to the departing CEO in exchange for forgiving a $500,000 debt. The remaining entity is a shell with no disclosed operations, only a contingent profit-sharing right in the transferred subsidiary. Traders should consider the extreme risk of total equity value loss, as the company's future depends entirely on an unspecified 'merger activity' with no details provided.

Executive Summary
Hestia Insight Inc. completed the transfer of 100% of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hestia Investments Inc., to its Chairman and President, Edward C. Lee, in full satisfaction of a $500,000 compensation liability. The company has been stripped of its operating assets, bank accounts, and brokerage accounts, leaving it as a shell entity preparing for 'upcoming merger activities.' Shareholders of record as of April 30, 2026, received a right to 20% of the subsidiary's net earnings for 24 months, but the value of this right is entirely dependent on the subsidiary's future performance, which is now controlled by the departing executive.
