Maritime Launch Introduces Interim Finance Leadership at Key Growth Inflection Point

Halifax, Nova Scotia, March 20, 2026 — Maritime Launch Services Inc. (Cboe CA: MAXQ, OTCQB: MAXQF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of an interim finance leadership team to support the Company’s next phase of growth.

As infrastructure development accelerates at Spaceport Nova Scotia and long-term customer demand continues to grow, the Company has engaged an experienced senior finance team to modernize and streamline existing systems and processes to support disciplined growth and operational readiness. This momentum follows recent progress, including a 10-year agreement with the Government of Canada’s Department of National Defence.

Gregory Rook, CPA, CA will serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer, bringing deep experience in operational and development finance, financial controls, reporting systems, and strategic planning. He will work alongside Suzi Halfpenny, CPA, CA, a seasoned finance executive with expertise in capital markets and governance, to support disciplined financial management and execution. Together, they lead their own interim CFO practice and will work closely with the executive team and Board of Directors to ensure the company is positioned for growth and leveraging best-in-class sovereign systems to track and report financial performance. They will also support the CEO and his financial advisors in building out and hiring the permanent finance function. The interim finance leadership will also ensure continuity of financial controls, reporting, and compliance throughout the transition period.

“With construction ramping up and market demand accelerating, we are meeting the moment,” said Stephen Matier, President and CEO. “Enhancing our financial management systems ensures we have the right structure in place to support disciplined growth and execute on our capital strategy, while demonstrating to launch providers, satellite operators, and partners around the world that the Company and Spaceport Nova Scotia is progressing toward commercial readiness and is ready to support sovereign, civil, and commercial missions.”

The company also announced that Philip Jones is retiring from his role as Chief Financial Officer following a transition period with the incoming leadership team. Maritime Launch thanks Mr. Jones for his meaningful contributions during an important phase in the company’s development and wishes him well in his next chapter.

Maritime Launch Services Inc. continues to advance construction and regulatory milestones at Spaceport Nova Scotia, positioning the site to serve government and commercial customers and to support Canada’s role in the growing global space economy.
