LIBERTY DEFENSE HAS APPOINTED THE HONORABLE MARY BETH LONG, FORMER ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE & CURRENT BOARD MEMBER OF AEROVIRONMENT, INC. (NASDAQ: AVAV A ~$4B USD DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY COMPANY) TO ITS NEWLY FORMED STRATEGIC ADVISORY BOARD

Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. has appointed Mary Beth Long, former Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs and independent director of AeroVironment, to the company's new strategic advisory board. This new board will help focus and guide Liberty Defense in scaling its groundbreaking technology globally and executing its growth strategy as a leader in security and detection applications.

Ms. Long served as U.S. Assistant Secretary of Defense under Secretary Robert Gates, making her the first woman confirmed to a four-star military equivalent position in United States history, and also served as the chair of NATO's nuclear and missile defence high-level group. Before that, she served as a career clandestine CIA officer, and she has been deeply involved in aviation and related security matters for nearly two decades.

Ms. Long founded two multimillion-dollar advisory firms and a government contracting firm before joining AeroVironment as an independent director in 2023. She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Defense and Aerospace Export Council. She is the Reynolds Family fellow for Global Security for the Woodrow Wilson Center and serves on the boards of directors of the International Spy Museum and the Defense Intelligence Memorial Fund. Ms. Long also served as a professor of practice at The Pennsylvania State University's Graduate School of International Affairs and is a member of the university's global advisory board.

Ms. Long welcomed this new appointment, stating that: "Security at home and abroad is changing fast and our future safety will depend upon the immediate integration of information and systems through the responsible use of artificial intelligence. Liberty Defense is already positioned for the next generation of security challenges, including 3-D-printed firearms and other concealed weapons and more sophisticated threats. The need for entry-point security, in public spaces in particular, is only going to grow as threats proliferate globally and here at home. Liberty Defense offers solutions and experience across the board -- from offices to shopping malls, schools, airports, courthouses and other government buildings. I am honoured to join this innovative team."

"I'm absolutely thrilled to welcome Mary Beth to our new strategic advisory board (SAB). Unlike many corporate advisory groups, the SAB will consist of a dynamic, hands-on team of top-tier professionals with diverse skills, experience and vision." said Bryan Cunningham, president of Liberty Defense. "Mary Beth's extensive expertise and global leadership in aviation and security will be invaluable as we set a new course and continue to work to enhance travel security and convenience for Americans, especially as we expand our global reach."
