CALGARY, Alberta, Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Questor Technology Inc. (“Questor” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: QST) today provided an update regarding its strategy refresh and Phase III shareholder value creation plan. The Company also announced the engagement of Roth Canada, Inc, the CIRO licensed dealer in Canada of Roth Capital Partners LLC, (“Roth Capital”) as financial advisor to the special committee comprised of independent directors of the Board (the “Special Committee”). Questor continues to move forward with purpose and discipline to deliver results for all shareholders ahead of its Annual General Meeting (the “Meeting”) scheduled for September 9, 2026.
Momentum Building Behind a Focused Path to Growth
Questor has made significant progress on its strategy refresh in connection with the management team transition, advancing a shareholder value creation plan to generate returns from its existing fleet and infrastructure through a sequenced, capital-disciplined approach to North American and international markets. The Company’s independent review of Questor’s Organic Rankine Cycle (“ORC”) program is underway, with findings expected in Q3 2026.
Questor enters Phase III with a debt-free balance sheet, over $4 million in cash, four patents, more than 100 rental units already owned, and the only ISO 14034 third-party verified 99.99% combustion technology in the world. Based on the Company’s strategy refresh progress and current assumptions, the independent directors of the Board and management team see a path to $10 million in revenue by 2027 and $15 million by 2029, driven by three recurring revenue streams.
“The asset was never the problem,” said Mike Lindsay, Interim President and Chief Executive Officer. “Phase III is about converting what we already have into results. We are moving with discipline and focus to reactivate our core markets and put our fleet back to work.”
The full details of the Company’s strategy refresh and Phase III shareholder value creation plan are included in a new investor presentation, which is available at questortech.com/vote.
Roth Capital Engaged as Financial Advisor
In connection with its strategy refresh, Questor has retained Roth Capital as financial advisor to the Special Committee. Roth Capital will provide financial advisory services to the Company and the Special Committee as it evaluates potential paths to value maximization for shareholders. More information regarding Roth Capital is available at roth.com.
“Roth Capital is well positioned to provide an experienced and independent lens to our disciplined and rigorous strategy refresh,” said Paul Huizinga, Chair of the Board. “The Special Committee has a clear mandate and is executing on it. We are evaluating all available options to unlock shareholder value, and ensuring every decision is made with the benefit of independent financial expertise.”
Nomination Notice
As previously announced on August 11, 2026, the Company received an advance notice from Audrey Mascarenhas of her intention to nominate an alternate slate of directors at the Meeting, comprised of Audrey Mascarenhas, Aloysius (Lowy) H. Gunnewiek, Dr. Tauseef Salma, Shahid Qureshi and Malcolm Cox.
Questor has completed its review of the information contained in the notice relating to the nominating shareholder and nominees’ information contained in the notice. In compliance with the Company’s Advance Notice By-law, this information is being made publicly available to shareholders via the Company’s website at https://www.questortech.com/investor-relations.
For clarity, assuming the resolution setting the Company’s board size at five directors is approved by shareholders at the Meeting and assuming Ms. Mascarenhas proceeds with nominating her alternate slate at the Meeting, the election of directors will be a “contested” one because there will be a greater number of nominees – ten nominees in total comprising of management’s five nominees and Ms. Mascarenhas’ five nominees – than the five board seats available. In that case, registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders entitled to vote at the Meeting would be instructed to vote for up to five nominees only, and the five nominees receiving the most votes “FOR” their election will be elected as directors of the Company.
Vote Today for Questor’s Recommended Independent Director Nominees
The path forward is clear. Shareholders now have the opportunity to back a focused, disciplined plan for growth already in motion, or risk returning control to the leadership that presided over instability and a lack of strategic focus that undermined the Company’s performance.
The Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. MDT. To ensure proxies are received in time, shareholders should vote today, in advance of the proxy voting deadline of Friday, September 4, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. MDT.
Questor recommends that shareholders vote using only the GOLD proxy well in advance of the voting deadline as follows:
- FOR the election of Paul Huizinga, Mike Krayacich, Jason Smith, Bastien Commet and Saj Shapiro as independent directors.
- FOR the approval of the other management resolutions.
Questor also recommends that shareholders discard any proxy materials received from Ms. Mascarenhas. For more information, visit questortech.com/vote.
