Series C structure establishes conversion timing and quarterly limits as Company works toward engagement of MBP Global LLP

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Fusion Inc. (OTCQB: AMFN) (“American Fusion” or the “Company”), developer of the proprietary Texatron™ Fusion Engine™, today announced agreements to restructure existing stock-based compensation rights with an aggregate maximum contractual amount of $2.88 million into Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The exchange is part of the Company’s broader capital restructuring effort in support of its planned national securities exchange listing and institutional financing initiatives.

Preferred Equity Exchange

The agreements cover twelve officers, directors, consultants and advisors, each with an existing contractual compensation basis of $240,000. They provide for issuance of up to 288,000 Series C preferred shares in total, subject to the applicable earning and exchange provisions. The exchange involves no cash payment by either party.

The Series C structure establishes defined conversion eligibility and quarterly limits for shares issued in connection with these compensation arrangements. The $2.88 million represents the maximum contractual compensation covered by the agreements, rather than a stated reduction in recorded liabilities. The amounts recognized in the Company’s financial statements and the resulting balance-sheet effect remain subject to accounting review.

“This restructuring brings greater clarity to our compensation commitments and establishes a defined schedule for conversion into common stock,” said Brent Nelson, Executive Chairman of American Fusion. “We appreciate the support of our team and advisors as we organize our capital structure and advance our financing and planned uplisting initiatives.”

Conversion Timing and Capital Structure

Conversions may begin in the first full calendar quarter following the later of full vesting under the underlying compensation agreement and the earlier of the twentieth trading day after a national securities exchange listing or nine months after the original issue date. Once eligible, holders may convert up to 30% of their original entitlement in each of the first three quarters, with the remaining balance eligible in the fourth quarter. Unused quarterly allowances do not carry forward. These provisions regulate conversion timing and are not a blanket prohibition on transfers.

Each Series C share is initially convertible into one common share, subject to adjustments under the Certificate of Designation. Conversion is also subject to a beneficial ownership limitation initially set at 4.99%, which a holder may increase to no more than 9.99% on at least 61 days’ notice. The certificate separately limits voting on an as-converted basis to 4.99%.

The preferred shares’ $10 face value is a contractual term, not a forecast or guarantee of the common stock’s trading price. Future restructuring events are subject to the adjustment provisions in the governing documents; other changes require the applicable approvals and amendments. Holders have no right to require redemption. The Company has a limited option to repurchase the preferred shares at 125% of face value before the earlier of a national exchange listing or nine months after the original issue date.

The exchange agreements specify September 30, 2026 as their effective date.

Auditor Transition

JV CPA Inc., a boutique Houston-based firm, resigned as American Fusion’s independent registered public accounting firm effective October 1, 2026, citing health reasons. The Company’s Item 4.01 disclosure states that there were no disagreements with JV CPA on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, and no reportable events, during the periods covered. JV CPA’s letter to the SEC confirms its agreement with those statements.

The Company is in the process of engaging MBP Global LLP, a PCAOB-registered firm with over 40 years of operating history and extensive experience serving public companies, as its successor auditor. MBP Global would audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026 and review its interim financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. MBP Global’s client acceptance and onboarding procedures are underway. The engagement remains subject to completion of those procedures, and MBP Global has not yet formally accepted the engagement.

“We’re prioritizing the information and coordination MBP Global needs to complete its acceptance process and begin the interim review,” said Brent Nelson, Executive Chairman. “As our operations grow more complex, strong and timely financial reporting is central to preparing for institutional financing and a planned exchange listing.”

Additional details are available in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed October 6, 2026, and its exhibits.

Approximately C$4.5 million initial tranche delivered under previously announced contract valued at up to C$9 million; customer begins exercising second-tranche option

MIRABEL, Québec, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSX: FLT) (OTCQX: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: ABB.F) (“Volatus” or the “Company”), a Canadian-headquartered global aerospace and defence company, today announced that it has completed delivery of the uncrewed aircraft fleet under the initial approximately C$4.5 million tranche of its previously announced ISR training system contract with a NATO partner.

The contract, announced on December 15, 2025, has a potential aggregate value of up to C$9 million. The customer has begun exercising its option under the second tranche, with Volatus receiving additional orders under the previously announced contract. The unexercised balance remains available at the customer’s option through the end of 2027.

The fleet addresses an immediate training requirement by enabling defence personnel to develop foundational skills in drone flight, navigation and basic intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The systems are designed for repeated use by new operators in controlled training environments, allowing personnel to build confidence and practical experience before progressing to more advanced operational platforms.

“This delivery represents an important milestone in the continued growth of our defence business,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus. “It demonstrates our ability to respond to clearly defined allied requirements with practical, scalable uncrewed solutions. Just as importantly, it strengthens our relationships with NATO allies and positions Volatus to support the growing demand for uncrewed systems, training and sustainment worldwide. The additional orders demonstrate continued customer commitment to the program and reinforce our ability to bring together aircraft, integration, training and support to meet allied requirements.”

This delivery completes the initial fleet shipment following the supply-chain disruptions previously disclosed in the Company’s quarterly reporting.

The program includes a fleet of durable, commercially derived training aircraft, integrated control interfaces, technical and operational documentation, instructor familiarization, warranty coverage and lifecycle support. The systems feature intuitive controls and automated safety functions suited to personnel with limited prior UAS experience.

Specific system configurations remain confidential under the terms of the agreement.

As NATO members increase their adoption of uncrewed technologies, the ability to develop trained operators is becoming an essential component of defence readiness.

Approximately C$4.5 million initial tranche delivered under previously announced contract valued at up to C$9 million; customer begins exercising second-tranche option

MIRABEL, Québec, Oct. 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Volatus Aerospace Inc. (TSX: FLT) (OTCQX: TAKOF) (Frankfurt: ABB.F) (“Volatus” or the “Company”), a Canadian-headquartered global aerospace and defence company, today announced that it has completed delivery of the uncrewed aircraft fleet under the initial approximately C$4.5 million tranche of its previously announced ISR training system contract with a NATO partner.

The contract, announced on December 15, 2025, has a potential aggregate value of up to C$9 million. The customer has begun exercising its option under the second tranche, with Volatus receiving additional orders under the previously announced contract. The unexercised balance remains available at the customer’s option through the end of 2027.

The fleet addresses an immediate training requirement by enabling defence personnel to develop foundational skills in drone flight, navigation and basic intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). The systems are designed for repeated use by new operators in controlled training environments, allowing personnel to build confidence and practical experience before progressing to more advanced operational platforms.

“This delivery represents an important milestone in the continued growth of our defence business,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus. “It demonstrates our ability to respond to clearly defined allied requirements with practical, scalable uncrewed solutions. Just as importantly, it strengthens our relationships with NATO allies and positions Volatus to support the growing demand for uncrewed systems, training and sustainment worldwide. The additional orders demonstrate continued customer commitment to the program and reinforce our ability to bring together aircraft, integration, training and support to meet allied requirements.”

This delivery completes the initial fleet shipment following the supply-chain disruptions previously disclosed in the Company’s quarterly reporting.

The program includes a fleet of durable, commercially derived training aircraft, integrated control interfaces, technical and operational documentation, instructor familiarization, warranty coverage and lifecycle support. The systems feature intuitive controls and automated safety functions suited to personnel with limited prior UAS experience.

Specific system configurations remain confidential under the terms of the agreement.

As NATO members increase their adoption of uncrewed technologies, the ability to develop trained operators is becoming an essential component of defence readiness. Volatus’ combination of aircraft, integration, training and sustainment capabilities enables the Company to address immediate customer requirements while supporting the longer-term development of uncrewed aviation capacity.

“Training is foundational to the effective adoption of uncrewed systems,” added Lynch. “This program gives new operators the tools and experience they need to begin building that capability, while creating a pathway toward more advanced systems and applications.”

The delivery adds to Volatus’ growing defence portfolio and provides a foundation for potential follow-on orders and broader opportunities across allied markets.
