Expanding European investor access and global visibility for patented SPECTRAGUARD™ technology

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - August 10, 2026) - Rise Nano Optics Ltd. (CSE: EYE) (OTCQB: RNOLF) (FSE: U9Y) ("Rise" or the "Company"), a health technology company advancing vision care through patented nanotechnology lens solutions, is pleased to announce that its common shares are now listed and trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the trading symbol "U9Y"

The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is one of the world's largest and most established trading platforms, providing access to a broad base of institutional and retail investors across Europe. The listing represents a strategic milestone for Rise as it expands its presence in international capital markets and increases visibility among European investors.

"Listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange is an important step in Rise's global capital markets strategy," said Inas Said, Founder and CEO of Rise Nano Optics. "As we continue to scale commercialization of our patented SPECTRAGUARD™ technology, expanding access to European investors strengthens our ability to build awareness, drive liquidity, and support long-term growth."

Rise recently initiated its U.S. commercialization strategy following regulatory progress and continues to execute a multi-channel go-to-market approach targeting optical labs, lens manufacturers, eye care professionals, and eyewear brands.

SPECTRAGUARD™ is engineered using proprietary nano-particle lens architecture designed to selectively filter high-energy visible light between 400-600 nm, including blue light, while preserving natural color accuracy and visual clarity. By extending protection beyond traditional UV-only eyewear, the technology is positioned to address increasing global demand for solutions targeting digital eye strain, light sensitivity, and long-term vision stress.
