on

TORONTO, June 24, 2026 /CNW/ – Baylin Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) (TSX: BYL) (OTCQB: BYLTF) confirms that it has exercised its right to repay the principal amount of its 8.5% Convertible Unsecured Debentures (the “Debentures”) due June 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”), through the issuance of common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”), subject to compliance with the terms of the Debentures (the “Common Share Repayment Right”). 

Pursuant to the exercise of the Common Share Repayment Right, upon surrender of the Debentures, the Company will issue a total of 18,202,846 Common Shares in satisfaction of the principal amount of Debentures outstanding on the Maturity Date. The number of Common Shares to be issued is equal to the principal amount of the Debentures outstanding (currently, $5,115,000) divided by 95% of the current market price of $0.296 per Common Share (calculated based on the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) for the 20 consecutive trading days ending five trading days before the Maturity Date, in accordance with the terms of the Debentures). The issuance of Common Shares in connection with the exercise of the Common Share Repayment Right is subject to customary conditions, including approval of the TSX. 

The Company has also agreed to exchange all of its $3,950,000 outstanding 10% Cumulative Redeemable Retractable Series A and Series B Preferred Shares (the “Exchanged Preferred Shares”) held by the Company’s controlling shareholder, 2385796 Ontario Inc. (the “controlling shareholder”), together with accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, for a total of 16,171,876 Common Shares, issued on a private placement basis at $0.281 per Common Share (the “Exchanged Common Shares”), plus a cash payment of approximately $0.25 in lieu of fractional shares (the “Exchange”). Mr. Jeffrey C. Royer, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, exercises control and direction over securities held by the controlling shareholder. Mr. Royer currently exercises control and direction over approximately 50.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares. After giving effect to the Exchange, Mr. Royer is expected to exercise control and direction over approximately 53.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares.

The Exchange constitutes a “related-party transaction”, as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), but is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of the subject matter of the Exchange (being the Exchanged Preferred Shares acquired by the controlling shareholder), nor the consideration paid for the Exchange (being the Exchanged Common Shares plus a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares), exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization.

The Exchange has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, with Mr. Jeffrey C. Royer having recused himself. Completion of the Exchange is subject to customary conditions for a transaction of this type, including approval of the TSX. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions, the Exchange is expected to be completed on or about June 26, 2026.

VITG Unveils Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response as Part of a Broader AI and Cybersecurity Transformation across ANZ

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As organisations across Australia and New Zealand navigate the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence, increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and growing governance requirements, Virtual IT Group   (VITG) has announced the launch of Modern Managed Services  (MMS)  and Managed Detection & Response  (MDR) , that are next-generation managed services and managed security offerings designed to help organisations remain secure, resilient and ready for what’s next.

Modern Managed Services delivers a Modern Defensible Architecture framework for managed IT operations, ensuring security controls, governance frameworks and operational best practices are embedded and continuously maintained. Complementing this, Managed Detection & Response provides organisations with 24×7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) capability, actively monitoring, investigating and responding to threats using advanced security analytics and response technologies.

Jeremy Nees , Chief Product Officer, VITG , said:

“Too often, organisations purchase managed services only to discover they do not have the standard level of security they need. As businesses adopt AI, the old-world IT solutions that Managed Service Providers (MSP) are selling are simply not going to cut it. We’ve baked common security requirements into the MMS service from day one, applying the key principles of Modern Defensible Architecture: Secure-by-Design, Defense in Depth, and Zero Trust.

MDR and ZDR   can be layered on top or are available independently if you have your own IT service or team. The push to adopt AI is leaving security gaps across the ANZ mid-market. Our goal is to provide customers with technology that is secure, resilient, and ready for what’s next.”

The launch marks VITG’s second major solution release of the year, following the introduction of its Zero Trust Consulting Practice  and Zero Trust Detection & Response  (ZDR)  offering earlier in 2026. It is also the Group’s first launch since acquiring cybersecurity outfit Security Centric , building on the addition of Auckland based The Instillery  in 2025 and further strengthening VITG’s capabilities across managed services, cloud, cybersecurity, data and AI. VITG is also advancing a dedicated Data & AI Practice and Momentum, a continuous improvement framework currently being piloted with customers ahead of a market launch later this year.

Since joining VITG  at the start of the year, Maurice McCarthy , Chief Executive Officer , is committed to moving at pace to meet the demand that has been created off the back of the market’s rapid adoption of AI.   

McCarthy said, “The traditional managed services model was built for a different era. Today’s organisations need partners that can help them unlock the value of data and AI while strengthening cybersecurity, managing risk, and continuously evolving their technology environment.

Through the acquisition of Security Centric and The Instillery we have brought together market-leading expertise across managed services, data and AI, and cybersecurity. This launch is the first of several innovations we will introduce as we help organisations accelerate transformation and realise greater value from AI.”

Sash Vasilevski , Chief Security Officer, VITG , said:

“The technology businesses are using to unlock the value of AI, integrate systems, and build strong data foundations, is rapidly introducing new risks and attack surfaces.

As business leaders accelerate their adoption of AI, the gap between the threats they face and the security capabilities they have in place is growing faster than many businesses realise.”

Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response are available immediately.
