Not for distribution to United States newswire services or dissemination in the United States

ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador, July 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kraken Robotics Inc. (“Kraken” or the “Company”) (TSX.V: PNG) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced underwritten public offering of 43,240,000 common shares in the capital of the Company (the “Common Shares”) at a price of $2.66 per Common Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $115,018,400 (the “Offering”), inclusive of the full exercise of the over-allotment option by the Underwriters (as defined below).

The Offering was led by Desjardins Capital Markets as lead underwriter and sole bookrunner, on behalf of a syndicate of underwriters including Cormark Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., Canaccord Genuity Corp., National Bank Financial Inc. and Raymond James Ltd. (collectively, the “Underwriters”). The Underwriters received a cash commission equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering, which is $4,600,736.

Kraken expects the net proceeds of the Offering will be used to support the Company’s growth into a scalable global prime contractor, including: (1) enhancing the ability to consider larger accretive acquisitions particularly in the US and Europe given the Company’s strengthened global profile; (2) demonstrating a stronger balance sheet when bidding for larger governmental and commercial contracts; and (3) for general corporate purposes.

“This successful equity offering shows strong support from investors and reflects confidence in our vision and strategy as we scale our business. With a fortified balance sheet, we are well-positioned to pursue strategic acquisitions, expand our global footprint, and deliver even greater value to our customers and shareholders,” commented Greg Reid, President and CEO of Kraken.

The Offering was completed by way of a short form prospectus dated June 30, 2025 (the “Prospectus”). The Prospectus can be found on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and contains important detailed information about the Offering.

The Offering is subject to TSX Venture Exchange’s (“TSXV”) final acceptance of requisite regulatory filings.
