October 21, 2026 (Source) — Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV: PLUR) (OTCQB: PLCKF) (“Plurilock” or the “Company”) and Quantum eMotion Corp. (NYSE American: QNC) (TSXV: QNC) (FSE: 34Q0) (“QeM”) are pleased to announce that Plurilock has filed its notice of meeting, management information circular (the “Circular“) and related documents (collectively, the “Meeting Materials“) with applicable securities regulators in connection with the special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting“) of common shares of Plurilock (the “Shareholders“), that will be held in-person at Suite 1500, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4N7 on, November 18, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. (PST). The Meeting Materials have also been mailed to shareholders and can be accessed online on Plurilock’s website at www.plurilock.com and under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

At the Meeting, Shareholders as at the close of business on October 1, 2026 (the “Record Date“) will be asked to consider and vote on a special resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution“) to approve the acquisition of Plurilock by QeM, pursuant to which QeM will acquire, either directly, or indirectly through a wholly-owned subsidiary, all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Plurilock (each, a “Plurilock Share” and, collectively, the “Plurilock Shares“). The proposed acquisition will be completed by way of a plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement“) under the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Plurilock Shareholders will receive C$0.084 in cash and 0.0763 of a common share of QeM (each whole common share of QeM, a “QeM Share“) in exchange for each Plurilock Share they hold (together, the “Consideration“), implying total consideration of C$0.28 per Plurilock Share.

Unanimous Board Recommendation and Reasons for the Board’s Recommendation

Plurilock’s board of directors (the “Board“) believes that the Arrangement is fair to Plurilock Shareholders and in the best interests of Plurilock. Accordingly, the Board (other than the directors who were required to abstain from approving the Arrangement under applicable laws) unanimously approved the Arrangement and recommends that Shareholders cast their vote in favour of the Arrangement Resolution. In making this recommendation, the Plurilock Board considered a number of factors, including:

  • The Consideration represents an implied premium of approximately 100% to Plurilock’s 20-trading day volume-weighted average price on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV“) as of September 25, 2026 (the last trading day before the Arrangement was publicly announced);
  • Plurilock Shareholders, through their ownership of QeM Shares, will have the opportunity to continue to participate in the potential value creation associated with combining Plurilock’s cybersecurity operations, customer relationships and commercial reach with QeM’s quantum-secure cryptographic and entropy technologies, and will have the opportunity to participate in the future performance of QeM Shares;
  • Plurilock Shareholders will become shareholders in a larger company with a higher market capitalization, which is expected to result in an enhanced capital markets profile and increased trading liquidity, including the fact that QeM Shares, which trade on both the TSXV and the NYSE American, offer significantly greater trading liquidity compared to Plurilock Shares and the QeM Shares to be issued pursuant to the Arrangement will generally not be subject to restrictions on transfer following completion of the Arrangement;
  • The Arrangement is expected to give rise to a strengthened platform from which to accelerate the commercialization of QeM’s quantum-secure cybersecurity technologies through Plurilock’s existing commercial infrastructure, customer relationships and procurement channels;
  • The Arrangement is expected to give rise to operational and commercial synergies to be realized in the near term and over time. These synergies may arise from, among other things, cross-selling and pilot opportunities across Plurilock’s existing customer base, the potential integration of QeM’s quantum-secure cryptographic and entropy technologies with Plurilock’s cybersecurity and identity capabilities, and a disciplined, coordinated go-to-market and capital allocation strategy. Such synergies are expected to strengthen QeM’s position in government, defence, critical infrastructure and regulated enterprise markets; and
  • The Arrangement is likely to be completed in accordance with its terms and within a reasonable time with closing of the Arrangement currently expected in late November, 2026, thereby allowing Plurilock Shareholders to receive the Consideration in a relatively short time frame.

We encourage Shareholders to read the Circular for more detailed information.

Required Approvals

In order for the Arrangement to become effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by (i) not less than two-thirds (66⅔%) of the votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy by Plurilock Shareholders, and (ii) at least a simple majority of the votes cast at the Meeting in person or by proxy by Plurilock Shareholders, excluding for this purpose, the votes attached to Plurilock Shares held by Ian L. Paterson (Chief Executive Officer and a director of Plurilock), Veera Singh (Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Corporate Secretary of Plurilock) and Ali Hakimzadeh (Chairman of Plurilock), in each case pursuant to the provisions of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions. The completion of the Arrangement is also conditional upon the approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia and satisfaction of other customary approvals including regulatory, stock exchange and third-party approvals.

Voting and Support Agreements

Each of the directors, officers and certain other shareholders of Plurilock has entered into voting and support agreements with QeM and intend to vote their respective Plurilock Shares FOR the approval of the Arrangement. In total, Shareholders holding or exercising control or direction over an aggregate of approximately 13.1% of the issued and outstanding Plurilock Shares as of September 28, 2026, entered into Support Agreements to vote their respective Plurilock Shares in favour of the Arrangement.
