Solutions-as-a-Service financial

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

recurring monthly revenue (RMR) financial

"including statements regarding the anticipated execution of definitive contracts... expected recurring monthly revenue (RMR)"

Recurring monthly revenue (RMR) is the predictable income a business expects to receive every month from ongoing sources like subscriptions, service contracts, or maintenance fees. Investors care because it acts like a steady paycheck that smooths out ups and downs in one-time sales—higher RMR means more reliable cash flow, easier forecasting, and often a higher valuation, similar to renting out apartments versus selling houses one by one.

forward-looking statements regulatory

"This press release contains forward-looking statements"

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

Order Placed Through an Authorized RAD Dealer Underscores the Strength of the Company's Dealer Channel and the Continued Adoption of RAD Solutions by High-Profile Organizations

Detroit, Michigan, July 17, 2026 -- Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") (OTCID:AITX), a developer and operator of AI-driven security and productivity solutions for enterprise clients, along with its wholly owned subsidiary, Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc.

In keeping with the preferences of the parties involved, the Company is not disclosing the identity of the dealer, the end user, or the commercial terms of the order.

Artist's depiction of a RAD RIO 360 deployed at a video studio lot to support autonomous monitoring, detection, and deterrence across a high-visibility entertainment environment.

RIO 360 is RAD's flagship portable security solution, a solar-powered, rapidly deployable unit that delivers full 360-degree autonomous monitoring, detection, and deterrence without the need for fixed power or network infrastructure. The units are expected to support security operations across the end user's properties, with deployment anticipated to begin in the near term following standard site preparation and commissioning.

The Company believes this order illustrates the effectiveness of its dealer channel strategy, in which trusted security integrators and dealers introduce RAD solutions to their clients and manage deployments end to end. It also reflects the continued adoption of autonomous security technology by widely recognized organizations across entertainment, media, and other high-visibility sectors.
