Global UAV signs LOI to acquire Nexus Peptide Sciences

2026-07-27 12:25 ET - News Release

Mr. Ron Schmitz reports

GLOBAL UAV ANNOUNCES PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF NEXUS PEPTIDE SCIENCES INC.

Global UAV Technologies Ltd. has entered into a letter of intent (LOI) dated July 27, 2026, with Nexus Peptide Sciences Inc., a private corporation existing under the laws of British Columbia, pursuant to which the company would acquire all of the outstanding securities of Nexus from the securityholders of Nexus.

About Nexus Peptide Sciences Inc.

Nexus Peptide Sciences is a private biotechnology company, based in Vancouver, B.C. Nexus is developing optimized peptide formulations and next-generation delivery systems intended to improve stability, absorption and practical use across metabolic health, recovery and longevity applications.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as native signalling molecules, regulating metabolism, repair, immunity and cognition. Nexus's platform is directed at what the company identifies as the principal constraint on peptide adoption -- the molecule itself and the route of delivery -- as most peptides degrade rapidly, struggle to cross biological barriers and require injection to remain stable.

Nexus's work spans five areas: molecular optimization (sequence and structural refinement to improve stability, half-life and target selectivity); formulation chemistry (excipient and carrier systems engineered for solubility, shelf stability and consistent dosing); researching optimal delivery systems (needle-free formats, including transdermal patches, oral platforms and absorption-enhanced carriers); quality and verification (manufacturing in approved facilities with batch-level third party analytical testing for identity, purity and contamination); and regulatory alignment (monitoring of U.S. and international policy to align product positioning with the evolving framework for peptide-based products).

Further information regarding Nexus, its business, its programs and its financial position will be included in the listing statement to be prepared in connection with the transaction and filed under the company's profile on SEDAR+.

Summary of the transaction

The LOI is a non-binding agreement that sets out the principal terms on which the parties have agreed to complete the transaction. Subject to satisfactory due diligence and successful additional negotiations, the parties intend to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the transaction on or before Aug. 31, 2026. The transaction is considered a fundamental change pursuant to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange, requiring the CSE to review and approve the transaction. The transaction is an arm's-length transaction.

On completion of the transaction, the company has agreed to issue an aggregate of 20.3 million common shares in the capital of the company and seven million transferable share purchase warrants of the company to the Nexus shareholders on a pro rata basis. Each warrant is exercisable into one additional share at an exercise price of 10 cents per warrant share for a period of two years following the closing in consideration for the acquisition of all of the securities of Nexus. Immediately before the closing, Global UAV has agreed that there will be no more than 33 million shares and 17 million share purchase warrants issued and outstanding, with such warrants to have an exercise price of 10 cents per share. At the time of closing, Nexus will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the company. If issued, the shares and warrants may be subject to certain restrictions on transfer pursuant to the requirements of applicable law. The company anticipates that there will be a finder's fee in connection with the transaction comprising $100,000 in cash and one million shares.

The transaction will be completed pursuant to available exemptions under applicable legislation. The company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the transaction.

Concurrent financing

On or before the closing of the transaction, the company intends to complete an equity financing of a minimum of $3-million and a maximum of $5-million.
