- Scalare Partners Lifts Total Income 411% and Turns EBITDA Positive In FY26SYDNEY, AU, Sept 16, 2026 - Scalare Partners (ASX: SCP) (Scalare or the Company) today provided a corporate update on its financial performance for the year ended 30 June 2026, reporting a 411% increase in total income and a move to positive EBITDA as its services-led model scaled across recently acquired businesses. Gross profit rose 716% for the year, with gross margin expanding to 77.8% from 48.7%. EBITDA turned positive, compared with a loss in the prior year. Net loss for the year increased 29%, reflecting higher depreciation and amortisation following the integration of recent acquisitions, including lease assets recognised under AASB 16. Customer receipts increased 576%, the first period to capture the contribution of Tank Stream Labs and Planet Startup, with net operating cash flow improving 396% on the prior year. Total assets increased 239%, reflecting the consolidation of acquired businesses and associated lease assets, while net equity rose 13%. The Company's investment portfolio, spanning 25 technology investments, increased 12% in value from June 2025. Full statutory results, including reconciliation of EBITDA to statutory net loss, are set out in the Company's Appendix 4E and FY26 Annual Report, lodged with ASX on 31 August 2026. Carolyn Breeze, Chief Executive Officer of Scalare Partners, said: "Lifting total income 411% while turning EBITDA positive in the same year shows the ecosystem model works commercially, not just strategically. Recurring service revenue now underwrites the platform that sources our investments, and that is the foundation we build on in FY27." Corporate Overview Scalare operates two connected engines under a single listed structure: an operating business that generates recurring service revenue, and an investment portfolio that captures long-term equity upside. The two are directly linked. Every investment is sourced and observed through the operating business before capital is deployed, and returns from the portfolio are directed back into expanding the ecosystem. The operating business spans three areas: communities and events, covering coworking campuses, memberships, partnerships and founder competitions; programs and diagnostics, covering accelerators, benchmarking tools and prioritisation frameworks; and support services, covering fractional CFO, finance, investor readiness and governance. Together these give Scalare visibility over a large pool of founders and businesses from which its investment opportunities are drawn. The investment portfolio comprises 25 technology investments across five countries and nine sectors, ranging from early product launch through to scaling and globalisation stages. Initial investments are typically made at pre-seed or seed stage, with Scalare taking board or advisory roles alongside its capital. Scalare has expanded the ecosystem through a series of acquisitions and program launches since 2020, including Tank Stream Labs and Planet Startup in 2025. Each addition was assessed against criteria including strategic alignment with the founder ecosystem, recurring or scalable revenue, and a clear pathway to cross-sell or accrete value across the Group. Priorities for FY27 remain growing recurring revenue through expanded corporate partnerships, maintaining a services-first investment model, enhancing the founder experience across the national ecosystem, and pursuing further operating leverage as recent acquisitions integrate. Recent Corporate Activity Ecosystem expansion Scalare completed the acquisition of Fishburners on 2 June 2026, acquiring the Fishburners brand, programs, intellectual property and associated community assets on an all-cash basis. Fishburners members now have access to Tank Stream Labs locations nationally, including a dedicated Fishburners Hub within the Kent Street, Sydney flagship campus. The acquisition expanded Scalare's founder network to approximately 40,000 active founders and alumni. The combined Scalare and Fishburners ecosystem has supported more than 10,530 startups, delivered more than 7,000 startup, education and innovation events, and its alumni companies have raised more than $5.4 billion in funding. Fishburners joins a platform that includes Tank Stream Labs, The Founders Union, Planet Startup, Tech Ready Women, InHouse Ventures and the Australian Technologies Competition. Funding On 2 July 2026, Scalare entered into a Convertible Security Funding Agreement with a new investor, providing for up to $25,000,000 in total funding to support ecosystem growth and continued investment in early-stage technology companies. Full details of the agreement were set out in the Company's announcement of 2 July 2026. Shareholders approved the arrangement at a General Meeting on 4 August 2026, with all resolutions carried by poll and support above 99% on each. The first tranche of notes was issued on 5 August 2026, with further tranches available under the agreement subject to its terms.

- Branded Legacy, Inc. (OTC: BLEG) Finalizes Acquisition of Autonomous Defense CompanyVancouver, BC, Sept 15, 2026 - Branded Legacy, Inc. (OTC: BLEG) (“Branded Legacy” or the “Company”) today announced that it has acquired Bletchley Robotics, Inc. (“Bletchley Robotics”), a Canadian developer of layered autonomous defense systems focused on affordable, AI-commanded interception and survivability solutions for modern aerial and ground threats. Bletchley Robotics, named for the Top Secret base in Britain where allied forces successful cracked the Enigma code machines, is building a multi-phase layered survivability architecture for autonomous warfare. Its initial focus is the LADI-Hornet path, an upgraded AI-commanded interceptor drone platform designed for air-to-air engagement against FPV drones, loitering munitions, and other low-cost aerial threats. The system emphasizes operator-authorized autonomous kill-chain execution, extended range via air deployment, and unit economics targeting approximately $2,000–$8,000 per interceptor, a fraction of the cost of many existing portable or legacy missile systems. Subsequent phases outlined by the company include a UGV ecosystem (Harvestman, Scarab, and Mantis platforms for forward sustainment, casualty evacuation, logistics, and position defense) and the KADS-Widow close-range hard-kill point defense layer. The global counter-UAS market is projected by industry analysts to grow from approximately $3 billion in 2024 to more than $15 billion by 2030. Defense robotics investment reached roughly $6.7 billion over the trailing twelve months across 138 deals and the global robotics market is projected to grow from $357 billion in 2025 to $1.2–1.5 trillion by 2030 (PitchBook 2025 data cited by the company). Canada’s Defense Industrial Strategy outlines approximately $81.8 billion in modernization spending from 2025 to 2030. These converging trends, driven by the rapid proliferation of low-cost aerial threats, shifting procurement priorities among NATO and allied nations, and advances in commercial sensors, autonomy stacks, and additive manufacturing, create a substantial addressable opportunity for scalable, cost-effective autonomous defense solutions. New Management and Advisory Team Upon closing, Mackenzie Hughes will serve as Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Hughes is a Ukrainian Foreign Legion Special Forces veteran and drone-strike survivor who brings direct operational experience as both an operator and a target in modern drone warfare. He has established front-line partnerships with Ukrainian interceptor engineers and units for technology transfer and planned battlefield validation. The company’s advisory board includes: Dr. Gennaro Notomista, University of Waterloo (multi-agent autonomy) Ambassador and Admiral Mark Dybul, Georgetown University (Executive Chair) Mike Holl, Industrial Engineer (manufacturing at scale and ruggedization) Three world-class advisors are committed some of whom are featured on CNN and WSJ, and the company is actively recruiting a Chief Technology Officer and a Department of National Defense procurement lead. In addition, Martin Mills will serve as Director of Business Development, and Victoria Zou will serve as Chief Development Officer. These changes have been submitted to OTC Markets, Inc who is processing the update. https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/30/europe/ukraine-robots-drones-russia-war-intl https://www.wsj.com/world/the-ground-drones-rescuing-ukraines-wounded-from-the-front-lines 50b4cede “Modern air-defense economics are structurally broken against mass-produced aerial threats,” said Mackenzie Hughes, incoming CEO. “By upgrading proven platforms with AI-commanded engagement and improved propulsion, then expanding into a full layered architecture, Bletchley Robotics aims to deliver field-validated, sovereign capability at a cost point that makes mass deployment realistic. This acquisition positions us to move from stealth development into rapid operational validation.” The Company expects several more acquisitions in the next few months, as well as a name change for the public vehicle. These events are expected to support the transition into the autonomous defense sector, and bolster ongoing operations. About Branded Legacy, Inc. Branded Legacy, Inc. (OTC: BLEG) is a publicly traded company focused on strategic acquisitions and growth in emerging technology sectors. Following the acquisition of Bletchley Robotics, the Company will concentrate on the development and commercialization of autonomous defense systems.
