OTCQB Venture Market financial

"filed an application to uplist its common stock to the OTCQB Venture Market"

The OTCQB Venture Market is a tier of the over‑the‑counter (OTC) trading platform that groups early‑stage, smaller companies that do not meet the stricter requirements of higher OTC tiers. It gives investors a way to buy and sell shares in these higher‑risk, less mature firms with generally lower reporting and transparency standards; think of it as a marketplace’s “starter lane” where potential is available but uncertainty and volatility are higher, so investors should expect greater risk and do extra homework.

Solutions-as-a-Service financial

"with its AI-driven Solutions-as-a-Service model"

SOC 2 Type 2 audit technical

"validated through successful completion of its SOC 2 Type 2 audit"

recurring monthly revenue financial

"continued progress toward operational profitability, expanding recurring monthly revenue"

Recurring monthly revenue is the predictable money a company earns each month from ongoing sources like subscriptions, service contracts, or repeat billing. Investors care because it acts like a steady paycheck—making future sales easier to estimate, revealing whether customers stick around or drop off, and helping gauge growth stability and valuation compared with one‑time or erratic sales.

AITX Takes Next Step in Market Structure Evolution with OTCQB Application

Enhanced Transparency and Structure Align with Company's Longer-Term Market Objectives

Detroit, Michigan, April 14, 2026 - Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITXD), a global leader in AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, today announced that it has filed an application to uplist its common stock to the OTCQB Venture Market, a higher tier within the OTC Markets Group. The Company's shares currently trade on the OTCID Basic Market. The OTCQB application remains subject to approval by OTC Markets, and no assurance can be given that the uplisting will be completed.

Uplisting from the OTC Pink or OTCID market to the OTCQB Venture Market signals a meaningful step in accountability and market readiness. Unlike lower tiers, OTCQB requires audited financials, current and consistent reporting, minimum pricing standards, and ongoing executive certification, placing companies under materially greater scrutiny. For investors, that added structure can translate into improved transparency, stronger credibility, and broader participation from brokers and institutions that often avoid lower tiers. Reaching OTCQB is not procedural. It requires operational discipline, financial commitment, and structural alignment, making it a deliberate move toward a more established capital markets profile.

"We've been intentional about raising the standard of this Company across every dimension, and this is another step in that direction," said Steve Reinharz, CEO/CTO and founder of AITX and all RAD subsidiaries. "OTCQB isn't a finish line for us, it's a checkpoint. It reflects the work we've already done to strengthen the business, and the expectations we're setting for where we're going. We're building this Company to meet higher levels of performance, visibility, and accountability, and that's exactly what this move supports."

The Company believes its continued progress toward operational profitability, expanding recurring monthly revenue, and ongoing investment in software, artificial intelligence, and manufacturing have positioned it to pursue this advancement. Through its subsidiaries, AITX continues to expand its deployment footprint across multiple industries while advancing SARA™ as a core element of its long-term growth strategy.

The Company will provide updates as appropriate regarding the status of its OTCQB application. This step reflects AITX's continued focus on strengthening its capital markets profile and aligning its structure with the scale and trajectory of the business as it attempts to advance toward higher levels of market participation.
