In connection with the TSXV listing, the Company voluntarily delisted its common shares from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") effective October 20, 2025.

"This shift to the TSXV allows VIQ to continue its focus on cost optimization, and allows VIQ access to additional financing options available to TSXV-listed issuers. The Company anticipates that listing on the TSXV will result in significantly reduced legal, compliance and financial reporting costs as part of our productivity and margin improvement initiative. We are pleased to be on the TSXV," said Interim CEO, Larry Taylor.

The TSXV approved the Company's application following a comprehensive evaluation of its financial performance and medium-term outlook. The Company will retain the trading symbol "VQS" on the TSXV. Shareholder approval was not required under the policies of the TSX to proceed with the transition as the TSXV is an acceptable alternative market. Shareholders were not required to take any action regarding the Company's transition to listing on the TSXV.
