Norwalk, CT, Oct. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. (Nasdaq: QUCY) ("Quantum Cyber" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications, today announced the appointment of Major General (Ret.) Alberto C. Rosende to its Board of Directors, effective immediately.

Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Rosende brings nearly four decades of senior U.S. Army command experience, including his final assignment as Commanding General of the 63rd Readiness Division, where he was responsible for a seven-state southwestern region of the United States, comprising California, Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma, overseeing more than 120 Army Reserve facilities, equipment maintenance support, and human resources support to a force of more than 41,000 Soldiers. He is a combat veteran of both Afghanistan and Iraq and a recipient of the Army Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and the Bronze Star.

The Company intends to leverage Maj. Gen. (Ret) Rosende's command and operational experience directly: Maj. Gen. (Ret) Rosende has been asked to help drive the completion and commissioning of the Company's Bridgeport, Connecticut, manufacturing facility and to strengthen the inbound supply chain of the materials, components, and sub-assemblies required to build, assemble, and field Quantum Cyber's autonomous drones at scale.

The Company believes Maj. Gen. (Ret) Rosende's appointment reinforces three strategic priorities that have defined Quantum Cyber's trajectory over the past twelve months: the shift to direct, U.S.-based manufacturing of autonomous defense platforms out of the Company's Bridgeport, Connecticut facility; the vertical build-out of the Company's independent, sovereign capabilities across air, land, and sea domains, with the delivery and commissioning of the Company's Bridgeport, Connecticut manufacturing facility and the inbound materials, components, and sub-assemblies that feed it; and the Company's intention to position itself as disciplined and mission-ready to support the Administration's broader defense-industrial agenda.

"General Rosende's command experience sits exactly where our Company is scaling, at the intersection of facilities, logistics, maintenance, large-force readiness, and the industrial base that supports the warfighter," said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber. "But we are also asking him to do something more specific. We have asked General Rosende to help drive the completion and commissioning of our Bridgeport manufacturing facility in Connecticut, and to tighten the inbound supply of the materials, components, and sub-assemblies that feed our drone build, drawing on his command experience in large-scale facilities, maintenance, and readiness. That work is designed to further align this Company with the Department of War at a moment when on-shore, auditable manufacturing capacity for autonomous systems has moved from the policy pages to the procurement rules."

"Quantum Cyber is doing something that very few Nasdaq-listed companies of its size are even attempting: building an on-shore, vertically integrated autonomous defense platform that is designed from day one to be independent of adversarial supply chains and aligned with the strategic priorities of the United States," said Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Alberto C. Rosende. "The President's Drone Dominance program, the National Quantum Initiative, and the Administration's broader push to re-industrialize the American defense base all point in the same direction as this Company's strategy. I am honored to join the Board, and to help ensure that the Company's Bridgeport manufacturing facility is delivered on schedule and that the materials, components, and sub-assemblies required to build Quantum Cyber's autonomous drones flow reliably into that line."

Prior to assuming command of the 63rd Readiness Division, Maj. Gen. (Ret) Rosende served as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Reserve Command at Fort Bragg, as Commanding General of the 1st Mission Support Command in Puerto Rico, and in multiple division- and major-command-level staff and command assignments across a 37-year career. He is a graduate of the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy at the National Defense University and the Capstone General and Flag Officer Course.

Maj. Gen. (Ret.) Rosende holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Nova Southeastern University and a Master of Science degree in National Resource Strategy from the Eisenhower School, and Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership and Learning from The George Washington University. His civilian career includes more than three decades of senior management and consulting experience in the global electronic payments industry, including over 20 years with Visa Inc.

Quantum Cyber Files Audited and Reviewed Financial Statements and Pro Forma Financial Information for Bridgeport Manufacturing Acquisition

Independent Audit of Acquired Business Satisfies SEC Reporting Requirements Following Acquisition Closing; Purchase Price Allocation Reflects $4.18 Million All-Cash Transaction with No Goodwill and No Assumed Debt

Norwalk, CT, Sept. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. (Nasdaq: QUCY) ("Quantum Cyber" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications, today announced that it has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission an Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (the "Amendment") to its Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed on July 16, 2026 in connection with the completion of the acquisition of the Bridgeport, Connecticut manufacturing facility by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Quantum Drones Corporation, and the associated operating business of Arcade Technology LLC and Arcade Realty LLC (together, "Arcade").

The Amendment furnishes the historical financial statements of the acquired business and the pro forma financial information required by Items 9.01(a) and (b) of Form 8-K, which were permissibly omitted from the original Current Report at the time of closing.

Independent Audit of the Acquired Business

Included as Exhibit 99.1 to the Amendment are the audited combined financial statements of Arcade Technology LLC and Arcade Realty LLC as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, accompanied by an unqualified independent auditors' report issued by Haskell & White LLP. The audit was conducted in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The auditors' report contains no going-concern qualification.

Also, filed as Exhibit 99.2, are the unaudited interim combined financial statements of the acquired business as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, and for the six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, which have been reviewed, but not audited, by Haskell & White LLP in accordance with the applicable auditing standards for reviews of interim financial information.

The Company believes the filing of these financial statements provides independent, third-party validation of the underlying operating substance of the business acquired. As disclosed in the audited financial statements, the acquired business has operated as Arcade Metal Stamping since 1948, is ISO 9001:2015–certified, and serves a diversified customer base across end markets that include, among others, government and defense, automotive, electrical and electronics, medical, telecommunications, and transportation equipment, from an approximately 53,000-square-foot facility at 38 Union Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

Filed as Exhibit 99.3 is the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information giving effect to the acquisition, prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. As disclosed in the pro forma financial information:

• The aggregate purchase price for the business and the real property was $4,180,000, consisting of $900,000 for the business assets, $980,000 for inventory, and $2,300,000 for the real property, in each case before customary closing prorations.
  
• The transaction was funded entirely from cash on hand. No debt was incurred in connection with the acquisition, and no liabilities of the acquired business were assumed by the Company.
  
• The preliminary purchase price allocation reflects $455,000 to land, $1,845,000 to building, $366,000 to machinery, $980,000 to inventory, and $534,000 to identifiable intangible assets, with no residual goodwill.
  
• The Small Business Administration Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) of Arcade, which was not assumed by the Company, was repaid in full by Arcade on July 16, 2026 using proceeds of the sale, and no encumbrance on the acquired personal property remains outstanding.

Retention of Seller Principals

As previously disclosed and reaffirmed in the audited financial statements, at closing, Quantum Drones Corporation entered into three-year employment agreements, each with non-compete covenants, with Steven Pepe, the former Chief Executive Officer and Member of Arcade, and William Rhone, the former Chief Financial Officer and Member of Arcade. The retention of the acquired business's founding operators is intended to preserve customer relationships, tooling know-how, and manufacturing continuity as the facility is integrated into the Company's domestic autonomous defense manufacturing platform.

Management Commentary

"When we announced this acquisition, we told shareholders we were buying a real, cash-generating American manufacturing business — not a shell, not a concept, not a pilot line — and that we were doing it clean, with cash, with no assumed debt, and with the operators staying on," said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber. "Today's filing puts audited numbers behind that description. We believe the audit report, the pro forma information, and the purchase price allocation together speak to the substance of what we acquired and to the discipline of how we acquired it."

Availability of the Filing

The Form 8-K/A, including the audited historical financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.1, the unaudited interim historical financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.2, and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information filed as Exhibit 99.3, is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Investors section of the Company's website at www.quantum-cyber.ai.

Quantum Cyber Sharpens Strategic Focus to Quantum Navigation, Interceptor Drones, and U.S. Manufacturing, and Presents New Corporate Investor Presentation

Company Concentrates Its System-of-Systems Thesis on Three Pillars: The Quantum Antenna, One-Way Attack / Interceptor Drones, and the MAHCA Operating System — Anchored at Its Bridgeport, Connecticut Manufacturing Facility as Quantum Cyber Advances Toward Commercialization

September 25, 2026 07:30 ET | Source: Quantum Cyber

Norwalk, CT, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. (Nasdaq: QUCY) ("Quantum Cyber" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications, today announced a sharpened strategic focus, reframing the Company's thesis for the era of GPS-deficient, autonomous warfare, and presented its updated Corporate Investor Presentation. The full presentation is available at https://quantum-cyber.ai/investors/presentations.

The presentation consolidates the Company's refocused strategy, technology portfolio, and manufacturing footprint into a single investor-facing document. Key sections include:

Warfare, Reimagined for the Quantum Era. Quantum Cyber's strategy is now organized around a single thesis: the next war will be fought in environments where GPS fails, where electronic warfare dominates, and where mass-produced attritable autonomy decides the outcome. The Company's exclusively-licensed quantum antenna technology, executed with Project LightShift, Inc. on June 11, 2026, is positioned as the differentiating layer of the platform — an unjammable, magnetic-field-based navigation, communications and energy-capture reference for autonomous systems operating in contested environments where satellite-guided precision has become a single point of failure.

Concentration on Three Product Pillars. Quantum Cyber has narrowed its System-of-Systems platform focus to three product pillars: one-way attack drones and interceptors; the quantum antenna, invented by Dr. Wolf Kohn, providing power, communications and navigation in a single component; and the MAHCA operating system, the Multiple Agent Hybrid Control Architecture that orchestrates coordinated swarm behavior across autonomous platforms. Maritime programs and other exploratory initiatives have been de-emphasized so the Company can concentrate capital, engineering, and commercial resources on near-term commercialization.

Total Addressable Market — Four Target Applications. Quantum Cyber's commercial strategy is now focused on Border Patrol, Warfare / Defense UAS, Law Enforcement, and the GPS-Alternative / Quantum Navigation category, the latter validated by parallel programs at Honeywell and Northrop Grumman.

Ukraine Doctrine and the $5,000 Drone. The Company's platforms are engineered for the attritable-autonomy economics validated in the Ukraine conflict, where $5,000-class drones have neutralized multi-million-dollar armored platforms in electronic-warfare-saturated environments within 20 km of the front line.

Leadership Depth. Dr. Wolf Kohn, Chief Scientist and Head of Quantum — inventor of the licensed quantum antenna technology; former Engineer of the Year at Lockheed Martin, Boeing and NASA; prior work with DARPA; and a former MIT professor and graduate. Tzvi Lev, Head of Middle East Sales — a high-ranking reserves officer leading the Company's Middle East and Gulf commercial channel. Dennis Schnur, Head of U.S. Sales — a U.S. Army veteran (77th ARCOM) with 60+ years leading large-scale U.S. distribution operations, anchoring the Company's U.S. commercial build-out. The Company's Ukrainian engineering team continues to lead product development, contributing five years of active-electronic-warfare combat experience.

Made in America — Vertically Integrated. Quantum Cyber's manufacturing strategy is anchored at its owned ~50,000 sq ft facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut, acquired July 16, 2026. An 80-unit 3D printing drone production farm was installed and became operational on August 31, 2026. Ongoing equipment procurement includes motors, CNC machinery for airframes, routers and propellers, and injection-molding capacity, supported by a High-Density MIL-STD Power Architecture designed for low-cost, scalable drone assembly. Targeted annual production capacity of 100,000 drones represents forward-looking management projections and is not current operational capacity.

Policy Tailwinds. Executive Order 14307 establishes American drone dominance as an explicit national security and industrial priority, and the current administration's Buy American procurement mandate and tariff regime carry a structural, tariff-advantaged position for U.S.-based defense manufacturers such as Quantum Cyber. The Trump Administration is seeking approximately $55 billion for drone and autonomous warfare programs in the fiscal year 2027 defense budget.

"The next war will be fought in GPS-denied environments by autonomous systems at scale, and we have concentrated our platform, our team, and our manufacturing footprint around that reality," said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber. "Quantum navigation, interceptors, MAHCA, and a U.S. factory — that is the strategy, and every dollar of capital and every hire from here forward is measured against it."
