MONTREAL, February 27, 2026 -- Quantum eMotion Corp. (“QeM” or the “Company”), a leader in quantum-based cybersecurity solutions, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to acquire key technology assets through the acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SKV Technology Inc. (“SKV”), a California-based cybersecurity company (the “Transaction”). The assets include the SecureKey platform developed and commercialized by Jet Lab Technologies Inc. (“Jet Lab”) and held by SKV.

The acquisition strengthens QeM’s secure software and cryptographic enforcement strategy by combining the SecureKey platform with QeM’s QRNG-powered Sentry-Q orchestration layer — creating a full-stack, quantum-resilient cybersecurity architecture spanning cloud, network, endpoint, and chip.

Strategic Architecture: From Entropy to Enforcement

Quantum-Grade Entropy & Policy — Sentry-Q

QeM’s Sentry-Q platform:

• Generates QRNG-based entropy and master keys
• Orchestrates secure point-to-point (P2P) encrypted communication
• Defines authentication, key rotation, PQC and hybrid ciphersuites, and revocation policies

Software-Based, Hardware-Anchored Enforcement — SecureKey

SecureKey is a high-assurance cryptographic software platform engineered to deliver hardware-grade security protections across cloud, network, and embedded environments.

SecureKey:

• Implements and accelerates Sentry-Q secure channels directly on devices
• Protects keys through hardened software controls integrated with hardware boundaries, preventing extraction and tampering
• Provides TLS/IPsec/VPN/session offload and acceleration
• Establishes end-to-end secure tunnels at the edge, in devices, SoCs, NICs, and controllers

Combined Value: Sentry-Q + SecureKey

Together, the integrated architecture is designed to deliver:

• End-to-end quantum-safe security from cloud → network → endpoint → chip
• Policy-driven P2P communication with enforcement anchored at the device boundary
• Rapid PQC migration via orchestration plus firmware-level acceleration
• Immediate applicability across AI data centers, energy systems, defense, industrial IoT, blockchain, and critical infrastructure

Dr. Francis Bellido, CEO of Quantum eMotion, stated:

“Sentry-Q orchestrates quantum-grade entropy and security policy at the cloud layer. SecureKey enforces that trust at the execution boundary through hardened cryptographic software integrated with hardware environments. Together, Sentry-Q + SecureKey deliver full-stack quantum-resilient security — from QRNG-generated entropy to endpoint enforcement — dramatically reducing key exposure risks while accelerating post-quantum migration.”

Mr. Jason Thomas, founder of SKV and Jet Lab, added:

“SecureKey was built to eliminate persistent key exposure and to bring hardware-grade protection into deployable software environments. By integrating SecureKey with QeM’s QRNG-driven Sentry-Q platform, we can deliver a uniquely powerful architecture that combines quantum-grade entropy with execution-bound enforcement. This integration positions QeM to address critical infrastructure, cloud, defense, and regulated markets with a truly next-generation security stack.”

Zero-Exposure Keys — Eliminating the #1 Cause of Breaches

Among the acquired assets is a patent-pending “memory-less” cryptographic architecture designed to eliminate persistent key storage — addressing what industry research identifies as the primary cause of cybersecurity breaches: stolen keys and credentials.

Key differentiators include:

• Zero-Exposure Keys — Memory-less cryptography engineered to eliminate persistent key storage and extraction risk
• Hardware-Grade Security in Software — Government-level protection delivered in pure software across cloud and edge environments
• NIST-validated encryption components, with a clear path toward FIPS certification and government adoption
• Deployable cryptographic enforcement without requiring proprietary hardware modules

Significant Market Demand

Critical Infrastructure and Cloud Security represent a global market exceeding US$150 billion (Gartner — Worldwide Security and Risk Management Spending Forecast) and accelerating, driven by:

• Mandatory modernization initiatives
• Cloud and hybrid-cloud adoption
• Increasing regulatory requirements for quantum readiness
• Nation-state and advanced persistent cyber threats

The Transaction significantly expands QeM’s addressable market by adding deployable, revenue-ready cryptographic enforcement software to its QRNG and entropy-based foundation.

Proven, Ready-to-Scale Products

The acquired assets include production-ready technologies:

• A deployable cryptographic library
• VPN and firewall implementations
• Drop-in integrations compatible with enterprise, cloud, and network platforms

These solutions are deployable today and are designed for seamless integration with QeM’s entropy and orchestration stack.

Background on Jason Thomas

Jason Thomas, founder of SKV and Jet Lab and lead technologist of Jet Lab, is a cybersecurity architect with extensive experience in applied cryptography, secure networking, and software-based key protection frameworks.

At Jet Lab, Mr. Thomas led the development of SecureKey, focusing on memory-less cryptography, hardened software enforcement, encrypted networking stacks, and scalable key lifecycle management suitable for enterprise, industrial, and government environments.

Mr. Thomas will be joining Quantum eMotion in an executive development role, where he will support strategic product integration, commercialization initiatives, and expansion of SecureKey within QeM’s broader quantum-resilient cybersecurity roadmap. His addition strengthens QeM’s executive team with deep cryptographic engineering and secure systems expertise.

Transaction Terms and Regulatory Matters

Pursuant to the agreement, QeM will acquire the specified assets held by SKV by purchasing 100% of the equity of SKV. In consideration, QeM will make milestone-based earn-out payments (the “Earn-Out Payments”) of up to C$7,000,000, payable at QeM’s election in cash, common shares of the Company (the “Consideration Shares”), or a combination thereof. QeM will also pay royalties of up to $15,000,000, subject to specified sales thresholds, on products incorporating the SecureKey technology for a term of up to five years.

The Earn-Out Payments will be contingent upon the achievement of defined technical and integration milestones centered on the successful realization of the combined Sentry-Q + SecureKey full-stack quantum-resilient security architecture.

The Consideration Shares issuable under the Transaction will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day in Canada in accordance with applicable securities laws and will be issued subject to an exemption from registration under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Transaction is an arm’s length “expedited acquisition” under the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”). Closing is expected to occur on or about March 2, 2026, subject to customary conditions, including final acceptance of the TSXV.
