Volatus Aerospace Expands into UK with the Acquisition of iRed® Remote Sensing, a Leading Thermographic Survey Company

Volatus Aerospace Corp.

Volatus Aerospace Corp. (TSXV: VOL) (OTCQB: VLTTF) ("Volatus" or "the Company") announced today that it has signed an arm’s length definitive agreement dated Oct 17, 2022 to acquire iRed Limited, a drone services and training company based in Emsworth, England (“iRed”). This acquisition provides a foundation for continued growth in the region and reinforces Volatus’ overall thermographic capabilities. “We began our expansion in the UK earlier this year with the addition of a seasoned business development executive, Steve Emerson, to build our presence and provide regional leadership. iRed is an established brand with a solid base of resources from which to grow that will enhance our global capabilities in thermography,” said Glen Lynch, CEO of Volatus Aerospace. “Thermography is in high demand in verticals like public safety, forestry, infrastructure, and agriculture. These use cases are only growing as drone capabilities mature and there is higher demand to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through early detection via thermographic imaging.” Founded in 2001, iRed started as a company specialized in infrared technologies, training, and services. While infrared training and inspection remains a core competency of the company, the advent of drones provided enhanced opportunity for thermography, which ultimately led to the expansion of the company into a variety of drone related services, equipment sales, and a diversified customer base. iRed is targeting year-end revenues of $1M with an EBITDA margin of 7%. “I’m very proud of what iRed has accomplished over the past 20 years,” said Ray Faulkner, President of iRed. “Joining Volatus will provide us with the resources necessary to take our company to the next level. We look forward to expanding our product offering, growing our service business, and pushing our training programs to the larger global market. Volatus Aerospace shares our commitment to sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint, and we look forward to what we can accomplish together.” Under the terms of the agreement, Volatus will make an equity investment of £100K in iRed in exchange for newly issued shares (treasury shares) that will represent 51% of all outstanding shares. The investment will be used by iRed for ongoing expansion activities. The transaction is scheduled to close October 31 st, subject to board of director, regulatory, and TSX approvals. Volatus will assume over all long-term debt obligations of £221K and the seller is subject to operational and financial metric as defined in the definitive agreement, at one year anniversary, the iRed investor(s) will have an option to sell remaining 49% for up to £125K in exchange of Volatus shares at a valuation of $0.65 per share or 12 months anniversary price, whichever is lower. This news marks another geographic expansion for Volatus following the announcement of their joint venture in Latin America in June of this year as well as their commitment toward offering green solutions to their clients. About Volatus Aerospace: Volatus Aerospace Corp. is a leading provider of integrated drone solutions throughout North America and growing into Latin America and globally. Volatus serves civil, public safety, and defense markets with imaging and inspection, security and surveillance, equipment sales and support, training, as well as R&D, design, and manufacturing. Through our subsidiary, Volatus Aviation, we are introducing green and innovative drone solutions to supplement and replace traditional aircraft and helicopters for long-linear inspections such as pipeline, energy, rail, and cargo services.

Claravine Expands Digital Ad Integration Library With Top Platforms

Claravine

Claravine, a pioneer in data integrity with its platform, The Data Standards Cloud®, has launched integrations with Google Ads, Snapchat Ads and Pinterest Ads Manager. These recent platform integrations help Claravine users improve naming compliance, metadata capture and enrichment while maintaining connection points between key datasets – allowing them to hand-off across workflows and quickly measure which campaigns are performing best. There is an industry-wide demand for innovative solutions when it comes to marketing measurement, personalization and collaboration. To meet this need, Claravine is expanding its ad integration library to be compatible with more major platforms powering digital advertising, including measurement solutions, creative optimization and content metadata. Claravine has existing ad integrations with Google Campaign Manager 360 and Facebook Ads Manager along with integrations into other key marketing technologies. “While clean, consistent marketing data are core to faster business decisions, ad platforms limit the ability to control or customize fields. The lack of control and alignment across these platform limits brands and agencies from creating unified measurement dashboards.” Chris Comstock, Chief Product Officer at Claravine said. “By expanding our capabilities, we’re able to ensure that there is uniformity and adherence to the taxonomy and rules our clients have put in place. We are also able to enrich the marketing data with the business attributes needed for measurement and insights while creating alignment across marketing and analytics teams.” To further promote awareness and education around data standardization, Claravine is among a group of companies involved with the Clean Data Primer and RoadShow – a new industry organization focused on developing common standards around data clean rooms. The primer’s content covers taxonomy use cases and shares with Claravine the mission of positioning marketers, agencies, and platforms to formulate and evaluate clean room strategies and thereby enhance their odds of success. “We’re excited to have Claravine’s support of our initiative,” Rich Sobel, Co-creator of Clean Data Primer and data and AdTech industry expert said. “With a shared industry focus and their Data Standards Cloud software, we’ll be able to shed light on the importance of clean data, ultimately helping brands better prepare for the new data landscape.” Claravine was recently nominated as a finalist in the Best Data Technology category in AdExchanger’s 2022 Awards. This achievement is in addition to Claravine’s landmark year with milestones including an additional $16 million in Series B funding and being named a 2022 AdExchanger Programmatic Power Player as well as a “Momentum Leader” and “High Performer” in the Fall 2022 G2 Rankings. Claravine will be on stage at this year’s Advertising Week, taking place in New York City the week of October 17, with content and media experts at Aprimo and GroupM. Claravine has forged successful partnerships with well-known Fortune 1000 companies such as Under Armour and Ancestry and is currently working with a quarter of the Fortune 100. With a collaborative user interface and strategic integrations with top customer experience platforms such as Adobe and Google, Claravine's platform, The Data Standards Cloud, helps global organizations define, apply and connect standards across their ecosystem for faster decisions, greater agility and increased ROI.

38-Year Printing Veterans Larry and Tami Jacobs Grow Sales After Buying New Minuteman Press Franchise in Carson City, NV

Minuteman Press International Inc

For Minuteman Press franchise owners Larry and Tami Jacobs, the printing industry is not new. “Our background prior to franchising with Minuteman Press was … wait for it … printing and graphics. Tami has been in the industry her whole life with parents who also spent their entire careers in the industry. Larry jumped in to printing shortly after marrying Tami in 1985. Together, we started our first business in 1987 and we’ve been at it ever since. While the majority of franchisees are coming from a different background altogether, we decided to go with the tried and true. Rather than starting over from scratch we sold our prior printing business and home in another state, moved to Carson City, and opted to partner with Minuteman Press for the brand recognition and the support that comes from within.” That partnership of Larry and Tami’s experience with the Minuteman Press franchise system has created a win-win scenario and generated significant sales growth for Minuteman Press in Carson City, Nevada, a brand new location at 444 East William Street, Unit #1, that Larry and Tami opened in July 2021. Larry and Tami explain, “Having been in the industry for nearly 38 years, we were blown away by the training and support we have received from Minuteman Press. In some aspects it was a refresher but in other areas it was completely new to us. We had not previously done a lot of promotional products, and dye sublimation and using a heat press were new to us. We have embraced the new products and are actively marketing those items.” “We’ve been learning new equipment with the signage, apparel, and all of the details involved with EDDM and direct mail marketing. It has been fun. We would not be where we are without the training and support provided by Minuteman Press.” -Larry & Tami Jacobs, Owners, Minuteman Press, Carson City, NV Standing Out in Carson City According to Larry and Tami, “Carson City is a family-friendly, small-business oriented town that is welcoming and still has a small town feel to it. We have enjoyed getting to know other business people in our community and find that they are all very supportive of each other, our town and community.” They continue, “When meeting with clients, this is what we tell them. We can help grow your business by providing personalized and branded business cards, flyers, posters, stationery, banners, apparel, and much more—we are your one-stop-shop for all your printing and promotional requirements. Plus, we specialize in direct mail marketing and advertising. Anything you can put a name, logo, or image on—Minuteman Press in Carson City can produce. We design, print, and promote YOU!” Larry and Tami add, “Our experience in the industry coupled with the latest in technology and production sets us apart. We are able to produce high quality, top of the line products in a lightning speed turnaround time in-house. As several in our community have told us, ‘There’s no one like you in the area.’ We promise. We deliver.” Growing the Business In order to grow the business, Larry and Tami use a combination of marketing strategies. “We have used in person, direct mail and email marketing campaigns as well as networking. We also have a strong presence on Google and solid word of mouth with both current clients and former clients from our previous business. These all add up to great online and offline referrals.” Minuteman Press in Carson City also has a healthy mix of products and services to get the job done for clients in their community. “Currently, our most high-demand products are political yard signs and walk cards, direct mail (both printing and mailing – all done in-house), large format printing, and apparel. We have aligned with several political brokers and that bring us a large variety of work in all aspects of our business – printing, direct mail, promotional products, and apparel. We have had quite a bit of growth with apparel in general. When word gets out that you can get it done and done well, the business finds you.” They offer this tip for local businesses. “Direct mailing to get your name out there is one of the best ways to reach potential clients to let them know you are there and open for business. With so many businesses shut down by the pandemic for so long, it is important to let your community know that you are still there and ready to serve them. Anything branded is very effective as well.” “As much as we are all glued to screens these days, there’s still just something about seeing your name and logo in print. Remember how you felt the first time you held your very own printed business card? That’s what I mean. There are some things that just work better as a printed piece as opposed to something online. Print is still the best media to communicate who you are and to get your message out to the world.” -Larry & Tami Jacobs Rewards & Advice for Others For Larry and Tami, the care they have for their clients is clearly evident when they are asked about the rewards of owning their business. “The rewards in this industry are seeing your clients shine because we took their pieces and made them into something presentable. I’ve gone to events where we printed all of the campaign materials, signs, apparel, and more. When you see everything come together in brand and theme, it really makes the client stand out and look good. And at the end of the day, that feels good and right.” They continue, “We have helped so many clients to get their projects turned around and completed on impossible deadlines. It’s an awesome feeling to make things happen. Whether it’s a small ‘copies of Great Grandma’s cookbook’ project or a large corporate multi-piece project, we give our best to help our clients look their best.” As for what advice the 38-year printing industry veterans would give to others, Larry and Tami share, “Follow the protocol, do the steps that need to be done. Stick with it. It works.” For more information on Minuteman Press in Carson City, NV, visit their website: https://minuteman.com/us/locations/nv/carson-city/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and see Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

LOCAL RAPID CITY MAN WINS FREE BLUEPEAK INTERNET SERVICE FOR A YEAR

Bluepeak

Eric Peltier’s range of emotions when he found out he won Bluepeak ’s Streamin’ Summer Sweepstakes ran the full gamut. “Paranoia and skepticism and then acceptance and excitement,” he laughed. “I never win anything so I was really excited and still am!” When reality set in for the Rapid City, S.D., resident, he walked away with 12 months of free one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) service from Bluepeak. A fiber internet package valued at $1,000. Peltier plans to take full advantage of it. Earlier this year he specifically moved from Pine Ridge Indian Reservation to Rapid City just for Bluepeak internet. Peltier has plans to become an internet content creator, but that requires internet that wasn’t available on the reservation. So he and his cousin packed up and headed north. “When I moved back I said, ‘Yeah, I’m getting Bluepeak. I’m not messing around with Midco,’” Peltier recalled. “I went straight to Bluepeak. No question. Just immediate.” In fact, testing Bluepeak’s internet service was the web creator’s top priority when he finally got into his apartment. “My cousin and I jumped right into streaming,” he said. “Boxes not even unpacked, we set up the PC and cranked out a stream.” Peltier streams himself playing Apex Legends – an online battle royale game – through Twitch, a live streaming service catering to esports. The immersive game and live stream requires a lot of download and upload speed. Fortunately, Bluepeak is the best “game” in town with fast, reliable and affordable internet. Bluepeak features all-in, transparent pricing, where the price on the website is the price on the bill, with download speeds up to one gigabit-per-second (Gbps). With Bluepeak, local residences and businesses get faster speed, equal upload and download speeds, and eero Secure, which provides whole-home WiFi and protects devices from online threats, ads and allows for customized content filtering. Eric has seen that advantage for himself, describing Bluepeak’s service as “fantastic.” “I would 100 percent recommend Bluepeak to people who talk about internet service,” he said. Those in South Dakota looking for more information on available packages can visit mybluepeak.com. About Bluepeak Bluepeak is building a faster, more reliable internet without the things that get in the way of great service - like red tape, hidden fees, and slow response times. Offering up to 5 gigabits of speed for residential customers and 10 gigabits for businesses, Bluepeak is a whole new ballgame - from internet to TV, to connecting every device in a home, to powering a business, Bluepeak not only provides the best fiber connections in the communities it serves, but also meets the growing needs for how its customers live.

LOCAL CHEYENNE MAN WINS FREE BLUEPEAK INTERNET SERVICE FOR A YEAR

Bluepeak

Long-time Cheyenne resident Robert Motily was recently notified he was a winner in Bluepeak ‘s Streamin’ Summer Sweepstakes. Motily – an Air Force veteran and retired federal employee – said he was “pleasantly surprised” about the prize and shared a ringing endorsement of his new fiber internet provider. “I’ll say whether I won or not, the Bluepeak experience has been really good,” Motily said. That high praise comes after just one month of service from Bluepeak. From a salesman answering all of his questions to construction crews visiting a couple of times to return his lawn to his satisfaction, the retiree added he would definitely recommend Bluepeak service to others. Now that he’s also a Streamin’ Summer Sweepstakes winner Motily will now be enjoying 12 months of free one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) service from Bluepeak. The winning fiber internet package is valued at $1,000. Bluepeak launched service in Cheyenne in late January and recently passed 1,000 subscribers in the city. Bluepeak recently chose to expand to communities in Wyoming because it believes the size of the city shouldn’t determine the quality of the technology. Research shows that high-speed internet has been a challenge for many in the Cowboy State. According to broadbandnow.com, Wyoming ranks 43 rd in the nation based on internet coverage, speed and availability. A Wyoming Tribune-Eagle report from last year pointed out that many in the state find themselves paying more for slower internet speeds and without any options. Robert switched to Bluepeak after years of price increases from his previous internet provider, saying “they’re pretty famous for that.” Bluepeak offers great value, with a minimum speed tier of one gigabit-per-second (Gbps) internet service at just $50 per month. Those in Cheyenne looking for more information can visit mybluepeak.com. Residents and businesses interested in service availability or details on the construction process can sign up for updates by entering their service address at mybluepeak.com.

The headline speakers attending the New York event include: Matt Kilmartin, CEO, Habu Lauren Wetzel, COO, InfoSum Chris Comstock, CPO, Claravine Rich Sobel, CEO, Marcato Solutions Alysia Melisaratos, Head of Solutions Engineering, LiveRamp “As data collaboration use cases mature and we move past the early adoption phase, we are seeing retailers, media companies, platforms, and advertisers utilize data clean rooms at an accelerating pace,” Matt Kilmartin, CEO, Habu said. “Close collaboration and interoperability across all companies participating in this group will be required as we navigate the path forward to mainstream adoption.” “The shift in marketing to be more privacy-centric is creating a need to educate the industry on the new ways of working, and initiatives such as the Clean Room Primer group are an integral first step in eliminating confusion around clean rooms and proper data usage across the ecosystem,” said Chris Comstock, Chief Product Officer, Claravine. “Cross-platform and team collaboration around data requires a new way of thinking and this event will bring together the companies and people leading the charge and prepare our industry for the challenges ahead.” “We are excited to help the industry better understand data clean rooms by having these industry thought leaders come together and share their know-how and experiences,” said Adam Gelles, co-founder of the Clean Room Primer group and CEO, The B2B Marketing Company. “From our own primary research, we see that our initiative comes when marketing professionals are looking to learn more about data clean rooms, their use cases and real-world experiences by practitioners. We’re excited to welcome attendees at our first roadshow stop in New York City during Advertising Week.” Following this event, The Clean Room Primer will continue its Roadshow in major US cities throughout Q4 2022 including Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles where leading practitioners will share real-world insights on why and how to use data clean rooms for marketing and advertising.
