SKYALYNE AND EIC SUBSIDIARY, PAL AEROSPACE, REACH AGREEMENT FOR TRAINING, MISSIONIZATION AND SUSTAINMENT FOR THE RCAF CT-142Q CITADEL

Exchange Income Corp.'s subsidiary, PAL Aerospace, and SkyAlyne have jointly achieved an agreement to enter into a contract for approximately $750-million for the provision of modification, in-service support and training services to the program. It is anticipated the contract will be finalized over the next several months.

The government of Canada officially awarded the FAcT contract to SkyAlyne, a joint venture between CAE and KF Aerospace, in late May, 2024. This significant 25-year initiative is currently in a multiyear transition period to become the sole ab-initio aircrew training program for the RCAF. FAcT modernizes and enhances both pilot and aircrew training, ensuring the next generation of RCAF aviators are prepared for the challenges ahead.

Under this agreement with SkyAlyne, PAL Aerospace will provide all aircraft modifications for the RCAF CT-142Q Citadel, deliver Wings Standard training to all air combat systems officers and airborne electronic sensor operators through the life of the contract and provide in-service support for the operation of the fleet.

"PAL Aerospace is proud to be joining SkyAlyne in delivering this nationally important program for the Royal Canadian Air Force," said Simon Carroll, president, PAL Aerospace. "We are excited to be chosen to make these critical contributions to the success of FAcT and deeply appreciate the trust placed in our team to evolve and provide front-line instruction to the next generation of Canadian air combat systems officers and airborne electronic sensor operators. This responsibility reflects the strength of our people, the depth of our experience and our shared commitment to supporting Canada's operational readiness."

PAL Aerospace will now work closely with SkyAlyne to shift focus toward the delivery of initial operating capabilities, ensuring a smooth transition from existing programming while remaining focused on the RCAF's mission-critical requirement to preserve operational readiness.

"SkyAlyne is incredibly proud of the all-Canadian team that has come together to deliver the future aircrew training program," said Kevin Lemke, general manager, SkyAlyne. "We are excited to welcome PAL Aerospace more formally into that team. Their proven expertise in modification, in-service support and training will be an important part of ensuring Canada's military pilots and aircrew have access to the best possible training solutions, today and for decades to come."

Exchange Income will discuss the agreement between SkyAlyne and PAL Aerospace in greater detail as part of its regular second quarter results conference call on Aug. 12, 2026.
