INTEGRATED QUANTUM TECHNOLOGIES APPOINTS FORMER GLOBAL ENGINEERING HEAD FOR HSBC GROUP AS CEO

Integrated Quantum Technologies Inc. has appointed Husam Fezzani as chief executive officer, effective immediately. As CEO, he will lead the company's corporate strategy, operations and commercial growth, as Integrated Quantum advances its portfolio and builds relationships with enterprise customers and strategic partners.

Mr. Fezzani succeeds Alan Guibord, who will transition to the role of chairman of the board and will continue to serve as a director of the company. During his tenure as CEO, he helped guide Integrated Quantum through important stages of its development, building the foundation from which the company is now advancing its technology portfolio and commercialization strategy. As chairman and a continuing director, Mr. Guibord will remain actively involved in supporting the company's strategic direction and leadership team.

The leadership transition comes as Integrated Quantum advances the commercialization of its portfolio of enterprise AI (artificial intelligence) infrastructure technologies and expands its focus on helping organizations securely deploy and scale artificial intelligence across increasingly complex enterprise environments.

"I am excited to take on the role of CEO at an important stage in IQT's development," said Husam Fezzani, CEO of Integrated Quantum Technologies. "Enterprises are moving rapidly to adopt artificial intelligence, but doing so at scale requires a new generation of infrastructure capable of addressing security, privacy, trust and the realities of complex enterprise environments. IQT has assembled technologies with the potential to address some of these critical challenges. I look forward to working with our team, partners and shareholders to translate that technology into commercial solutions and build a meaningful enterprise technology company."

"It has been a privilege to lead the company and work alongside the people who have helped bring us to this point," said Alan Guibord, chairman of Integrated Quantum Technologies. "I am extremely proud of what we have built and equally excited about what lies ahead. Husam brings a rare combination of global enterprise technology experience, operational leadership and an understanding of what it takes to deploy mission-critical technology inside some of the world's largest organizations. I have tremendous confidence in his ability to lead IQT through its next stage of growth, and I look forward to working closely with him as chairman."

About Husam Fezzani

Mr. Fezzani brings nearly three decades of experience spanning global banking and financial services, enterprise technology transformation, engineering and operations. Prior to joining Integrated Quantum, he spent nearly 30 years at HSBC, one of the world's largest financial institutions, where he led large-scale technology initiatives and international teams across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, India, China and Hong Kong.

During his tenure at HSBC, Mr. Fezzani held a number of senior technology and engineering leadership roles supporting the bank's global operations. His responsibilities included enterprise platform modernization, building globally distributed engineering organizations and overseeing mission-critical software delivery supporting hundreds of thousands of users worldwide.

As global engineering head for HSBC Group's commercial technology division, Mr. Fezzani managed development teams and drove consistent, high-quality software releases while minimizing disruption to customers. As HSBCnet global release manager, he oversaw quarterly releases supporting more than 300,000 commercial customers globally.

Later, as head of strategic replatforming engineering, Mr. Fezzani led a globally distributed team across Vancouver, India and China in developing a new approach to modernizing the mainframe integration tier of HSBCnet. By combining Agile development, automation and DevOps practices, the initiative transformed the delivery of legacy technology migration and was subsequently adopted as a standard across commercial banking IT (information technology), reaching more than 5,000 engineers.

Mr. Fezzani has supported Integrated Quantum as an honourary adviser prior to his appointment as CEO, providing him with an established understanding of the company's technology, strategy and commercial objectives.
