UNISERVE APPOINTS GAUTAM LOHIA AS CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, BRINGING FOUNDER-OPERATOR LEADERSHIP TO ACCELERATE DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE STRATEGY

Uniserve Communications Corp. has appointed Gautam Lohia, current chairman of the board, as chief executive officer of the company, effective immediately.

This appointment represents a strategic inflection point for Uniserve, aligning the company with founder-led, operator-driven leadership as it accelerates its transformation into a scaled, high-margin digital infrastructure and managed services platform.

Mr. Lohia is a founder, entrepreneur and transformation leader with a proven record of building and scaling technology businesses. He founded Apply Digital and, as chief executive officer, grew the company from its origins in Vancouver into a global digital transformation firm with operations across the world, employing more than 700 people. Part of that journey included a sale to a private equity in 2021. This growth was achieved through a combination of strong organic expansion and strategic acquisitions.

Under his leadership, Apply Digital became a trusted partner to leading enterprises, helping them modernize their technology platforms and navigate large-scale digital transformation. He is also recognized for building high performing teams and operating cultures centered on ownership, accountability and continuous learning.

As chairman, Mr. Lohia has already helped refine Uniserve's strategic direction, including a stronger focus on scalable infrastructure services and long-term value creation. As CEO, he will accelerate these efforts with an emphasis on:

• Expanding Uniserve's data centres and network footprint;
• Enhancing cloud and managed service capabilities;
• Investing in talent and operational excellence;
• Pursuing strategic partnerships and growth opportunities.

The company also intends to take a disciplined approach to growth, including evaluating opportunities to expand its capabilities and geographic reach through selective acquisitions, while maintaining a strong focus on integration and long-term value creation.

Uniserve is executing a clear strategy to become Canada's leading sovereign SMB digital infrastructure partner. The appointment of Mr. Lohia as chief executive officer aligns the company's leadership with this mandate and strengthens its ability to scale a national platform and expand into higher-value enterprise and mid-market segments. Under Mr. Lohia's leadership, the company will focus on growing its managed service, cloud and cybersecurity offerings, pursuing strategic acquisitions, advancing its data and infrastructure initiatives, and integrating AI-driven capabilities into its service offerings.

"Uniserve sits at the intersection of several powerful trends -- AI adoption, cloud growth and increasing demand for Canadian-owned infrastructure," said Mr. Lohia. "This is a moment of transformation for our industry. Our ambition is to build a modern, scalable infrastructure platform that can support the next generation of Canadian businesses.

"Our focus will be on disciplined execution, scaling our platform, and building a culture centered on innovation, accountability and measurable outcomes, with the objective of delivering sustained, long-term value for shareholders."

The company would also like to recognize the exemplary leadership of Kwin Grauer, who has served as chief executive officer during the last 17 months, a period of significant strategic and operational progress for Uniserve. Under Mr. Grauer's leadership, the company advanced its digital infrastructure strategy, strengthened its platform and continued to build momentum across its core business lines. Mr. Grauer will continue to play an instrumental role in Uniserve's growth as an executive director, supporting the company's continuing execution and long-term strategic objectives.
