Volatus Aerospace Inc. Announces Acquisition of Lithuania’s AISPECO

Toronto, Oct. 14, 2026 – Volatus Aerospace Inc. (NASDAQ: VLAS), a Canadian drone‑delivery technology company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange, confirmed the acquisition of Lithuanian sensor maker AISPECO for US$10.5 million (CAD ≈ $12.1 million). The deal is expected to broaden Volatus’s proprietary technology portfolio in the defense and aerial‑intelligence sectors.

Deal Structure and Strategic Rationale

  • Purchase Price: $10.5 million in U.S. dollars, paid in cash.
  • Transaction Type: Full acquisition of AISPECO’s shares.
  • Integration Plan: Volatus intends to merge AISPECO’s sensor suite into its existing drone delivery platforms, thereby enhancing situational awareness and data‑collection capabilities for military and commercial applications.

The acquisition follows Volatus’s recent strategy to diversify beyond consumer‑drone logistics into the defense market. AISPECO brings advanced electro‑optical and infrared sensor technologies that can be embedded in Volatus’s autonomous aircraft, opening new revenue streams in government contracts and high‑value aerial surveillance.

Market Impact

  • Share Price: As of the close on 13 October, Volatus traded at CAD 0.49 per share, down from a 52‑week high of CAD 0.89 and above the 52‑week low of CAD 0.45.
  • Market Capitalization: The company’s market cap remains at CAD 375 790 000.
  • Valuation Metrics: With a price‑to‑earnings ratio of –12.87, Volatus is currently trading at a discount, reflecting its early‑stage earnings profile and heavy investment in growth initiatives.

Analysts suggest that the acquisition could improve Volatus’s competitive positioning, but the immediate dilution of earnings may continue to weigh on the share price. Long‑term investors will likely evaluate the integration success and the pace at which defense contracts materialize.
