The company is not selling shares itself and will receive no proceeds from resales, but may receive up to CAD$7.0 million if the Warrants are exercised for cash, earmarked for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The position is made up of 342,000 common shares, pre-funded warrants to purchase 23,853 common shares, and additional warrants (Initial Warrants and Additional Warrants) to purchase further common shares. Contractual “beneficial ownership” limits in these warrants cap Lind’s exercisable position at 9.99% of DEFSEC’s common shares (4.99% for the Initial Warrants), so not all warrant shares are currently counted as beneficially owned.

DEFSEC Technologies Inc. reported strong growth in its defence software-focused business for Q3 Fiscal 2026, while remaining loss-making. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was $2,722.2 thousand, up from $1,417.5 thousand a year earlier. Gross margin rose to $901.7 thousand with a 33.1% gross margin percentage, compared with $399.5 thousand and 28.2% in Q3 2025.
Operating expenses increased to $3,463.1 thousand from $2,221.8 thousand, and Adjusted EBITDA showed a larger loss of $(1,942.7) thousand versus $(1,491.5) thousand. As of June 30, 2026, cash and short-term investments were $3,529.7 thousand and working capital was $3,674.6 thousand, both lower than at September 30, 2025.
Operationally, DEFSEC commercially released its DEFSEC Lightning™ 2.0 cloud-hosted situational awareness SaaS platform and its ARWEN® 40mm baton ammunition. The company also completed U.S. Army testing of its networked BLISS™ laser warning system and was invited to a further U.S. Army-hosted sensor test and evaluation scheduled for late August 2026.
DEFSEC Technologies Inc. reported sharply higher revenue but continued losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026. Revenue rose to $2.7 million in the quarter and $6.1 million year-to-date, increases of 92% and 72% versus 2025, driven mainly by growth in higher-margin digitization services for Canadian defence programs. Gross profit improved to $0.9 million for the quarter with gross margin of 33.1%.
Operating expenses grew to $3.5 million in the quarter and $8.5 million year-to-date, reflecting higher personnel costs, R&D investment in DEFSEC Lightning™, BLISS™ and PARA SHOT™, and a $480,453 stock-based compensation charge from new option grants. Net loss was $2.6 million for the quarter and $6.7 million for nine months, with Adjusted EBITDA loss of $5.6 million year-to-date. Cash and cash equivalents declined to $3.5 million, working capital was $3.7 million, and accumulated deficit reached $59.0 million. Management explicitly highlights material risks and uncertainties that cast substantial doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and notes reliance on additional orders, successful product launches and further debt or equity financing, including recent private placements issuing 1.24 million new shares and 1.33 million warrants in December 2025 and June 2026.
