The Notes Offering is being conducted in reliance upon one or more exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Notes will be issued at a price of 100.000% of their principal amount. The Notes Offering is expected to close on December 18, 2024, subject to market and other conditions, including the consummation of the New Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below).

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes Offering, together with borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility and cash on hand, to (i) repurchase all of the term loans under the Company’s existing senior secured term loan facility that are validly submitted for repurchase pursuant to the previously announced Dutch auction, (ii) repay all of the borrowings outstanding under its existing super-priority senior secured revolving credit facility, and (iii) pay all related premiums, fees and expenses. The Company intends to use any remaining net proceeds of the Notes Offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of debt.

The Notes will be the senior secured obligations of the Company and will be guaranteed, on a senior secured basis, jointly and severally, by (i) as of the issue date of the Notes, each of the Company’s subsidiaries that is a borrower under or guarantees the obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) following the issue date, any of the Company’s existing or future wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (other than certain excluded subsidiaries) that is a borrower under or guarantees the obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility or incurs or guarantees certain capital markets indebtedness (the “Guarantors”). 

Additionally, it is expected that the Notes and the related guarantees will be secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and the Guarantors, in each case subject to certain exclusions and permitted liens, which collateral will also secure, on a pari passu basis, the New Revolving Credit Facility.

DEFSEC Ships New BLISS (“Battlespace Laser Identification Sensor System”) To U.S. Army Yuma Test Center

Published

on

By

OTTAWA, ON, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – DEFSEC Technologies Inc. (TSXV: DFSC) (TSXV: DFSC.WT.U) (NASDAQ: DFSC) (NASDAQ: DFSCW) (“DEFSEC” or the “Company”) today confirmed that it has now shipped two new networked BLISSTM systems to the United States Army Yuma Test Center (US Army YTC) for test and evaluation.

The BLISSTM shipment today to the US Army YTC follows delivery of an earlier version, called BLDS (Battlefield Laser Detection System) to the U.S. Army last year for testing and trial activity.  BLISSTM is an enhanced, networked version of BLDS as the next step in the evolution of the Company’s technology roadmap for battlespace laser detection and intelligence.

The patent-pending BLISSTM system alerts operators to laser activity across the battlespace, providing critical early warning and valuable seconds to assess, evade, defend, and deploy countermeasures. Miniaturized BLISSTM sensors can be mounted on vehicles and fixed infrastructure, or worn on personnel, to affordably blanket a battlespace with sensors for enhanced survivability and situational awareness and battlespace intelligence in contested environments.  It transforms laser warning into shared, actionable battlespace information.

Beyond real-time detection, BLISSTM incorporates enhanced laser pulse signature capture and analysis to help identify the source, intent, and affiliation of detected emissions.  By enabling users to distinguish among known signatures, the system supports faster, more informed tactical decisions.

“The BLISSTM system shipped today to Yuma for US Army testing represents a major step forward in tactical-edge force protection and actionable battlespace intelligence for commanders,” said Sean Homuth, President and CEO. “This capability will provide operators with critical time, better information, and a meaningful operational advantage against laser-enabled threats, including those seen in current Middle East conflicts.”

DEFSEC expects to brief domestic and foreign delegations on its BLISS product at Canada’s upcoming annual defence and security show, “CANSEC”, May 27 and 28, 2026, in Ottawa.

About DEFSEC

DEFSEC (TSXV: DFSC) (TSXV: DFSC.WT.U) (NASDAQ: DFSC) (NASDAQ: DFSCSW) (FSE: 62UA) develops and commercializes breakthrough next-generation tactical systems for military and security forces. The company’s current portfolio of offerings includes digitization of tactical forces for real-time shared situational awareness and targeting information from any source (including drones) streamed directly to users’ smart devices and weapons.

SPX Cooling Tech Unveils the Marley® OlympusMAX™ Fluid Cooler

Published

on

By

Maximum Capacity. Trusted Performance.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan., April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — SPX Cooling Tech, LLC announced the launch of the Marley® OlympusMAX™ Fluid Cooler, engineered to deliver unmatched performance, efficiency and design flexibility for mission-critical facilities. Designed to meet the evolving demands of data centers, industrial plants and high-density cooling applications, the OlympusMAX Fluid Cooler sets a new benchmark in dry and adiabatic cooling technology.

Built on a century of heat rejection expertise, the OlympusMAX Fluid Cooler brings a new level of performance in dry and adiabatic cooling.  It is available in both adiabatic and dry configurations. The bolt-on adiabatic module can be factory or field installed—or even installed after the equipment is operational in order to provide maximum flexibility in response to changing conditions and site demands.

As global data center density continues to expand, operators are increasingly seeking cooling solutions that balance performance, energy use, water use and operational flexibility. “OlympusMAX reflects our commitment to advancing cooling technology to support the evolving demands of mission-critical facilities,” said Dustan Atkinson, Director of Product Management for SPX Cooling Tech. “By offering scalable dry and adiabatic performance, engineered flexibility and streamlined installation, we’re helping facilities meet increasingly challenging demands while maintaining efficiency and long-term reliability.”

At the heart of the OlympusMAX adiabatic module is a patent-pending recirculating adiabatic design that significantly reduces blowdown, minimizing unnecessary water discharge while improving system efficiency. Unlike traditional once-through or spray systems, the unit’s recirculation technology delivers more uniform water flow across the pad – improving saturation efficiency, extending pad life and reducing mineral accumulation on critical components. The result is more predictable energy and water consumption – a critical advantage for performance-sensitive environments such as hyperscale data centers.

Engineered for uptime, the OlympusMAX features high-efficiency Marley Geareducer® gear drives, robust construction materials and integrated component redundancy, including mission-critical fan and VFD systems. With unit options ranging from 120 to 240 horsepower, the design maximizes cooling capacity per square foot, delivering industry-leading heat rejection density.

Installation and serviceability were key priorities in the system’s development. Each unit ships with a factory-assembled electrical access platform, single-point wiring connection, VFDs and PLC controls pre-installed, and full-size access doors with internal walkways. These features streamline installation while enabling safer operation and easier maintenance.

The launch underscores SPX Cooling Tech’s mission to provide flexible, high-efficiency heat rejection solutions across its full portfolio including dry coolers, adiabatic coolers, evaporative coolers, and cooling towers, ensuring customers have a single-supplier solution tailored to their operational strategy.
