URBANA CORPORATION ANNOUNCES BLUE OCEAN TECHNOLOGIES, LLC

One of Urbana Corp.'s investee companies, Blue Ocean Technologies LLC, intends to pursue integration with the forthcoming tokenized national market system equity solution. This development positions Blue Ocean ATS as the first alternative trading system to support the trading of tokenized U.S. equities as the industry enters its next phase of modernization. Currently, Urbana is the largest shareholder in BOT with an ownership interest of approximately 38.8 per cent.

Brian Hyndman, chief executive officer of BOT, commented: "Our core mission has always been to expand access to U.S. equities for global investors through technological advancements. Integrating with forthcoming tokenized settlement infrastructure represents the next frontier in our journey. Tokenization has the potential to complete the 24-seven-365 market, closing the final gap in an increasingly connected global trading ecosystem. This new development aligns with our commitment to innovation in blockchain-enabled, regulated market infrastructure."

BOT's announcement follows its recent integration as a data oracle operator on the Pyth network, where it currently publishes real-time overnight U.S. equity pricing to blockchain-based financial applications.

As part of this initiative, BOT will continue its continuing dialogues with regulators, clearing organizations, market participants and other industry stakeholders to align its tokenized trading initiative with the same principles that define the national market system today: fairness, transparency and investor protection.
