XTRACT ONE TECHNOLOGIES PARTNERS WITH OAK VIEW GROUP TO SECURE CO-OP LIVE, MANCHESTER'S NEW 23,500 CAPACITY ARENA

Xtract One Technologies Inc. is partnering with Oak View Group, the global venue development, advisory and investment company for the sports and live entertainment industry, to bring its fan screening solution to secure all entrances of Co-op Live in Manchester, England, opening on April 23, 2024.

The next-generation, 23,500-capacity venue is the largest arena in the United Kingdom and is Xtract One's first OVG customer partnership in Europe. In this three-year contract, Xtract One's SmartGateways will provide this new venue with fast and frictionless fan screening that optimizes their experience without compromising security, with an artificial-intelligence-powered, multilayered security solution that secures all patrons.

"We are thrilled to partner with Xtract One to bring our cutting-edge security solution to Co-op Live in Manchester," said Gary Roden, executive director and general manager of Co-op Live. "We pride ourselves on leveraging leading-edge innovation to bring our fans memorable experiences. The safety and security of our fans is always our number one priority at Co-op Live, and partnering with Xtract One further helps us deliver this outcome. We are excited to launch this innovative project, and look forward to delivering an exceptional fan experience for years to come."

The full deployment across all stadium entrances will account for U.K.-specific security risks allowing security teams to protect fans effectively.

"We are excited to expand our footprint and partner once again with Oak View Group to provide our state-of-the-art security solution for Co-op Live in Manchester," said Peter Evans, chief executive officer of Xtract One Technologies. "Our SmartGateway ensures that security screening is fast, effective and most importantly, non-invasive, allowing patrons to move through the entrance seamlessly. Most importantly, through our continued partnership with OVG and Co-op Live, we have a strategic anchor upon which to build our pragmatic approach to growth, and expansion outside of North America. We look forward to continuing to revolutionize the way venues approach security, outside of North."
