Looking beyond 2026, we are building a group in which WISeKey, SEALSQ, WISeSat, and Quantisimo can each grow as focused businesses while remaining connected through one trusted infrastructure. From silicon to qubits, from identity to AI, and from Earth to space, our mission is unchanged: to provide the Root of Trust for the next generation of the digital economy.”

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

WISeKey Redomiciliation and Planned Direct Nasdaq Structure

WISeKey advanced its strategy to simplify its corporate structure and strengthen its access to U.S. and international capital markets. On June 26, 2026, WISeKey signed a merger agreement to move the domicile of its holding company from Switzerland to the British Virgin Islands. WISeKey’s British Virgin Islands subsidiary, WISeQey Corp. (formerly known as WISeKey International Corp., “WISeQey”) filed a registration statement on Form F-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 16, 2026, and the SEC declared it effective on July 31, 2026. At an Extraordinary General Meeting held on September 9, 2026, shareholders approved the redomiciliation and the related merger agreement. On September 16, 2026, the subsidiary, which will become the Group’s new parent company, changed its name to WISeQey Corp.

The redomiciliation is expected to take effect on October 1, 2026, with WISeQey ordinary shares expected to begin trading under the ticker “WQEY” on or about October 5, 2026 on both the Nasdaq Global Market and the SIX Swiss Exchange, which will remain the primary listing. The WISeQey ordinary shares will trade directly on Nasdaq, replacing WISeKey’s existing American Depositary Shares and providing the Group with a more streamlined U.S. capital markets presence while preserving its international footprint. WISeQey’s operational headquarters and place of effective management will remain in Switzerland, and the Group’s businesses and operations are not expected to change. Completion of the redomiciliation remains subject to the remaining closing conditions and the applicable Swiss and British Virgin Islands procedures.

This simplified structure, together with the planned independent listings of WISeSat and Quantisimo, is designed to give investors clearer visibility into the value and performance of each of the Group’s technology platforms.

Quantisimo: Creating a Quantum Technology Pure-Play

In June 2026, WISeKey and SEALSQ established Quantisimo Corp. and executed a non-binding Letter of Intent with GigCapital8 Corp. (Nasdaq: GIW) regarding a potential business combination designed to create a Nasdaq-listed quantum technology company. The initial transaction contemplated an enterprise value of approximately $575 million.

Quantisimo is being designed to bring together selected technologies and investments developed through the SEALQuantum ecosystem, creating a vertically integrated platform spanning quantum computing, photonics, quantum-secure infrastructure and related technologies.

The proposed transaction remains subject to definitive agreements, regulatory review, shareholder approvals and customary closing conditions. The Group is targeting completion of the transaction during the first quarter of 2027, subject to satisfaction of these conditions.

 SEALQUANTUM Sovereign Vertical Stack: Building the Root-to-Qubit Technology Stack

SEALSQ continued to execute its SEALQUANTUM Sovereign Vertical Stack strategy, backed by a targeted allocation of up to $200 million of SEALSQ’s internal capital resources. The strategy aims to build a sovereign, vertically integrated quantum technology stack. It runs from the cryptographic Root of Trust and post-quantum semiconductors through photonics and quantum computing. Key milestones include:

• SEALSQ completed its acquisition of Miraex SA in Switzerland, adding quantum photonics interconnect technology.
• SEALSQ invested approximately €15 million in Quobly in France as a lead investor in Quobly’s €115 million Series A financing, and subsequently signed a $5 million commercial agreement.
• SEALSQ has invested a total of $7.0 million in EeroQ, a U.S.-based quantum computing company.
• SEALSQ made a majority investment in Wecan Group, and WISeKey is working with Wecan to develop and deploy the next generation of Wecan’s Co-Pilote compliance solution, aiming to integrate post-quantum financial security solutions for the global financial industry.

These assets complement the Group’s in-house semiconductor, PKI and secure infrastructure capabilities into an integrated architecture “Root-to-Qubit.

The WISeKey Quantum RootKey ties these assets together. It extends the Root of Trust that WISeKey has operated under the OISTE Foundation governance model since 1999 into the post-quantum and quantum computing era. WISeKey has begun integrating the Quantum RootKey across the SEALQUANTUM Sovereign Vertical Stack ecosystem, anchoring each asset to a common, quantum-resistant trust layer that spans from chips to qubits.

Post-Quantum Semiconductors Enter Commercialization Phase

SEALSQ’s semiconductor business remains the Group’s technology foundation.

• In 2026, SEALSQ reached several certification and security milestones for its QS7001 post-quantum secure element and QVault TPM product lines. QS7001 received NIST SP 800-90B Entropy Source Validation, a required step toward FIPS 140-3 and Common Criteria EAL5+ certification. It also completed Common Criteria fault-injection and side-channel resistance testing for both the QS7001 and QVault product lines.
• Engineering samples of the QVault TPM are now available to customers.
• SEALSQ separately received NIST FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certification for its VaultIC408 secure element.

WISeKey believes the shift to post-quantum cryptography required by regulators in the United States and Europe is creating a multi-year commercial opportunity for SEALSQ. The Group expects first revenues from its post-quantum products in Q4 2026, with larger contributions anticipated in 2027.

As of June 30, 2026, more than 150 customers and prospects were engaging with SEALSQ’s post-quantum technologies, and more than 30 were actively evaluating or integrating QS7001 and QVault TPM.

As of September 22, 2026, SEALSQ’s commercial pipeline exceeded $225 million through 2029, including more than $100 million tied to post-quantum projects. The pipeline reflects management estimates of potential opportunities. Turning it into recognized revenue will depend on customer qualification, certification, production schedules and other factors.

WISeSat and the Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud

WISeSat continued progressing toward becoming an independently listed space technology company. Following the public filing of the Form F-4 registration statement in June 2026 and effectiveness of such registration statement in August 2026 in connection with the proposed business combination with Columbus Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: COLA), WISeSat continued preparing for the transaction and its intended Nasdaq listing under the ticker SAIQ, subject to shareholder approval, Nasdaq approval and other closing conditions.

At the International Space Summit in Paris in September 2026, WISeKey, SEALSQ and WISeSat presented the commercial Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (“QSOC”) initiative.

QSOC is designed to combine WISeSat’s satellite constellation with SEALSQ post-quantum semiconductors, PKI, quantum random-number generation and identity technologies to establish secure and sovereign orbital infrastructure.

The current roadmap contemplates progressive deployment of a constellation of up to 100 satellites through 2033, designed to provide secure communications, quantum-generated trust and post-quantum identity services to governments, defense organizations, financial institutions, critical infrastructure and enterprises.

WISeKey Joins the Hedera Council Network

In September 2026, WISeKey announced that it had joined the Hedera Council network of strategic and community partners, further strengthening the technological foundation supporting its trusted machine-economy strategy.

The collaboration supports WISeKey’s broader objective of combining trusted digital identity, secure hardware, distributed-ledger infrastructure and machine-to-machine transactions. This architecture is particularly relevant to SEALCOIN, where autonomous devices, AI agents, robots and satellites can be provided with verifiable identities and mechanisms for trusted transactions.

New Swiss Post-Quantum Semiconductor and Cybersecurity Center

On September 21, 2026, WISeKey, SEALSQ and the Republic and Canton of Jura signed a Memorandum of Understanding to work together on a Post-Quantum Semiconductor and Cybersecurity Center in the Canton of Jura, Switzerland. The proposed public-private initiative has an indicative investment of approximately CHF 40 million to CHF 60 million over six years.

The Center is intended to give Switzerland its own capabilities to design, personalize, test and securely provision next-generation post-quantum semiconductors, starting with SEALSQ’s QS7001 Quantum Shield. The initiative targets approximately 40 direct jobs within two years, 150 by Year 5 and more than 250 by Year 8, and at least 60% of positions are expected to go to Canton residents.

The Jura project builds on the model of Quantix Edge Security in Murcia, Spain, where WISeKey and SEALSQ are developing sovereign semiconductor design, personalization and cybersecurity capabilities. Together, Murcia and Jura are intended to become key hubs in the WISeKey/SEALSQ Quantum Highway^TM, which links post-quantum semiconductor, quantum, cybersecurity and trusted infrastructure capabilities across multiple regions.

Geneva Quantum Center of Excellence

WISeKey and SEALSQ are also establishing the Geneva Quantum Center of Excellence at the Group’s new headquarters in Pont-Rouge.

The Center is designed as a physical convergence point for the Group’s quantum computing, post-quantum cybersecurity, secure semiconductor, digital identity, satellite, robotics and artificial-intelligence technologies.

The objective is to provide customers, governments, technology partners, regulators and investors with an end-to-end demonstration environment showing how the different components of WISeKey’s trusted technology ecosystem operate together.

Particularly, information regarding the Company’s expectations of future results, performance, achievements, prospects or opportunities or the markets in which the Company operates is forward-looking information. In addition, statements in this press release concerning the proposed completion of the Offer, including the price at which the Company may purchase Subordinate Voting Shares under the Offer and the number of Subordinate Voting Shares to be purchased, may contain forward-looking information. In some cases, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans”, “targets”, “expects”, “budgets”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “outlook”, “forecasts”, “projects”, “prospects”, “strategy”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might”, or “will” occur. In addition, any statements that refer to expectations, intentions, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances contain forward-looking information. Statements containing forward-looking information are not historical facts but instead represent management’s expectations, estimates and projections regarding future events or circumstances.

Many factors could cause the Company’s actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements that may be expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including, without limitation, those listed in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s filing statement dated November 9, 2021. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results, performance, or achievements could vary materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.

Forward-looking information, by its nature, is based on the Company’s opinions, estimates and assumptions in light of management’s experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that the Company currently believes are appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances.

Although the Company bases its forward-looking information on assumptions that it believes were reasonable when made, which include, but are not limited to, assumptions with respect to the Company’s future growth potential, results of operations, future prospects and opportunities, execution of the Company’s business strategy, there being no material variations in the current tax and regulatory environments, future levels of indebtedness and current economic conditions remaining unchanged, the Company cautions readers that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which the Company operates may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this press release.

TORONTO, Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Osisko Gold Group Inc. (NYSE: OGG, TSXV: OGG) (“Osisko Gold” or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that it has completed its previously announced offering of US$600 million aggregate principal amount of 9.250% senior secured notes due 2031 (the “Notes“). The Notes will mature on October 1, 2031, and are non-callable for the first two years, and will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2027.

The Notes offering was completed on a private placement basis to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act“) and outside of the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act (the “Offering“).

Sean Roosen, Chairman and CEO, commented: “With construction of the Cariboo Gold Project underway following our positive final investment decision earlier this month, the completion of this offering further bolsters our already strong balance sheet position and, together with other available sources of capital, fully funds us through commercial production anticipated in 2029. Refinancing the existing Appian project finance facility on cost-effective terms lowers our overall cost of capital and provides greater financial flexibility as we progress construction. The exceptional support from leading institutional investors underscores the quality of the Cariboo Gold Project, our development strategy and management’s ability to deliver. Our focus remains on disciplined project execution while concurrently advancing exploration programs aimed at unlocking the vast exploration potential of the Project and its broader regional land package.”

The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, which, at closing, consisted of Barkerville Gold Mines Ltd., its subsidiary that holds the Cariboo Gold Project in British Columbia, Canada (the “Cariboo Gold Project” or “Project“), and are secured by a first priority lien on the Company’s and each guarantor’s property, including equity interests owned by the Company and each guarantor in their respective subsidiaries, the interest reserve account and disbursement account described below, and personal and real property, subject to certain exceptions.

The net proceeds from the Offering were approximately US$578.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The net proceeds from the Offering were used to:

• repay all amounts outstanding, and terminate all commitments, under the Company’s senior secured credit facility with Appian Capital Advisory Limited (the “Appian Credit Facility“) with approximately US$120.8 million of the net proceeds from the Offering;
• fund a segregated interest reserve account in an amount equal to the first five interest payments on the Notes; and
• fund, with the remaining net proceeds, a segregated disbursement account with funds to be used to advance the Cariboo Gold Project.

Table 1 below summarizes the estimated sources and uses of capital from August 1, 2026, through to forecasted commercial production in H2 2029, after giving effect to the net proceeds from the Offering.

TABLE 1: Estimated Sources and Uses of Capital (from August 1, 2026 to commercial production)¹

Sources of Capital	C$ mm		US$ mm			Uses of Capital	C$ mm		US$ mm
Cash and cash equivalents, June 30, 20262	$879		$637			Go-forward Capital Obligation	$990		$717

2. As adjusted cash and cash equivalents give effect to US$30 million (C$41 million) in expected gross proceeds from the Trafigura equity investment announced September 14, 2026.
3. Net proceeds from the Offering of approximately US$578.0 million less repayment of approximately US$120.8 million of amounts outstanding under the Appian Credit Facility.
4. Exploration expenditures include remaining flow-through expenditure obligations of approximately C$22 million, with the balance related to planned exploration activities across conversion, infill, and CGP deeps exploration surface and underground drilling.

In connection with the Offering, the initial purchasers purchased the Notes at a purchase price of 98.25% of the principal amount of the Notes.

The offer and sale of the Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, or qualified by way of a prospectus in any province or territory of Canada. The Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes sold to persons located or resident in Canada are subject to a customary four-month hold period under Canadian securities laws.

This news release is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the Notes being offered in the Offering, nor shall it constitute an offer, solicitation or sale of any Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification thereof under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
