(CSE: AETH) (OTC: AETHF) (Frankfurt: 4XA) (WKN# A2N8RH) (“Aether” or the “Company”), a drone management and automation company, today clarifies certain disclosure included in the Company’s news release dated March 6, 2026 (the “Disclosure”), which announced approvals (the “Approvals”) received related to the transfer of the underlying technology license for a modern footwear screening platform from Arion Defense Inc. (“Arion”) to Aether, effective upon completion of Aether’s proposed acquisition of Arion (the “Proposed Transaction”). Investors should not place undue reliance on any elements of the prior Disclosure that is inconsistent with the clarifications set out in this news release.

While the Disclosure announced that the Approvals were received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Department of Defense (DoD), the Company clarifies that approvals were in fact received from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

As disclosed in Aether’s prior news releases dated December 10, 2025, January 22, 2026 and March 6, 2026, Aether has entered into a letter of intent (the “LOI”) with Arion contemplating the Proposed Transaction. The LOI is non-binding and does not constitute a definitive agreement. Completion of the Proposed Transaction remains subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, the negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of the parties and receipt of all required corporate, regulatory, and Canadian Securities Exchange (the “Exchange”) approvals. There can be no assurance that the Proposed Transaction will be completed on the terms contemplated in the LOI or at all.
