6 terms
warrants financial
"warrant holders have fully exercised outstanding warrants, resulting in gross proceeds"
Warrants are special documents that give you the right to buy a company's stock at a set price before a certain date. They are often used as a way for companies to attract investors or raise money, and their value can increase if the company's stock price goes up.
View in glossary
capital structure financial
"Quantum Cyber's capital structure no longer includes any exercisable warrants and is debt-free"
Capital structure is the way a company finances its operations and growth by using different sources of money, such as borrowed funds (loans or bonds) and owner’s equity (investments from owners or shareholders). It’s like a recipe for baking a cake, where the balance of ingredients affects the final product's strength and taste; similarly, the mix of debt and equity influences a company's stability and risk. For investors, understanding a company's capital structure helps gauge how risky it might be to invest or lend money.
View in glossary
cagr financial
"to $10.6 billion by 2030 at a 27.2% CAGR (Grand View Research, 2025)"
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) measures the average yearly growth of an investment, revenue, or other metric over a multi-year period as if it had grown at a steady rate each year. Think of it like the constant speed that would take you from the starting value to the ending value over the same time—useful because it smooths out ups and downs and lets investors compare different assets or performance periods on an even footing.
counter-uas technical
"platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications"
Counter-UAS (counter-unmanned aircraft systems) are tools and tactics used to detect, track, and disable or divert drones that pose a threat to people, property, or operations. Think of them as a combination of a security camera, alarm system, and net that can find an unwanted flying device and stop it before it causes harm. Investors care because demand, regulation, and deployment of these systems affect revenue, contract opportunities, legal risk, and the valuation of companies that build or use them.
system-of-systems technical
"assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare"
A system-of-systems is a collection of independently useful systems that are linked to work together and create new, larger capabilities—like individual appliances in a smart home that together enable home automation. For investors it matters because value, revenue and risk come not just from each part but from their interactions: integration can boost performance and market reach, while complexity, compatibility issues, or a single failing component can magnify costs and disruption.
emp-hardened technical
"autonomous naval mine countermeasures, EMP-hardened drone components, and anti-drone ammunition"
EMP-hardened describes electronic equipment, buildings, or systems reinforced to survive a sudden burst of electromagnetic energy—such as from a solar flare or weapon—without failing. For investors, EMP-hardening matters because it lowers the risk of prolonged outages, data loss, or costly replacements for companies that rely on sensitive electronics, much like a heavy-duty surge protector or steel vault protects valuables during an unexpected shock.

Current Shares Outstanding: 22,767,254

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, May 26, 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 warrant holders have fully exercised outstanding warrants, resulting in gross proceeds of over $15,000,000 to the Company. The funds have been received and are currently held on the Company's balance sheet. 

As a result of the completed warrant exercises, Quantum Cyber's capital structure no longer includes any exercisable warrants and is debt-free. The Company has satisfied and extinguished all outstanding debt obligations, and its capitalization table carries no remaining debt instruments. Management believes this represents a material strengthening of the Company's financial foundation as it executes its growth strategy. The Company's current outstanding shares are 22,767,254 as of the date of this release. 

The Company intends to deploy the net proceeds toward the expansion of its research and development capabilities, the build-out of its commercialization team, and the execution of its strategic acquisition pipeline, including the finalization of existing deals currently in progress, and for general corporate purposes. These investments are focused on accelerating the Company's System-of-Systems platform across drone warfare, counter-UAS, autonomous naval mine countermeasures, EMP-hardened drone components, and anti-drone ammunition. Management views these priorities as directly aligned with the U.S. Department of Defense's FY2027 budget priorities, which include approximately $55 billion in drone and autonomous warfare procurement, and the counter-UAS market projected to grow from $3.1 billion to $10.6 billion by 2030 at a 27.2% CAGR (Grand View Research, 2025).

Bill Caragol, Chief Financial Officer, said: "With $15 million in proceeds received from the warrant exercises, all debt obligations retired, and a clean capital structure, we have the financial discipline and runway to execute on our acquisition and technology licensing pipeline.
