Maritime Launch Receives Additional Infrastructure Reimbursement Approval for Over $10 Million from the Province of Nova Scotia for an Additional Small Launcher Launch Pad

Canso, Nova Scotia, June 6, 2025 – Today, Maritime Launch Services Inc. (Cboe CA: MAXQ; OTCQB: MAXQF) announces that the Company has obtained approval from the Province of Nova Scotia for approximately $10.5M under the Capital Investment Tax Credit (CITC). This approval will support the construction of a dedicated launch pad for small launch vehicles, an essential addition to support the company’s growing roster of global launch clients.

The CITC is a refundable corporate tax credit designed to encourage capital investment in Nova Scotia through approved projects. The approval awarded to Maritime Launch will facilitate the establishment of highly specialized commercial space infrastructure and enhance Canada’s sovereign space capabilities. This approval builds upon prior support from the Province under the CITC program. Approximately $30.7 million in CITC funding has been authorized for qualified infrastructure projects at Spaceport Nova Scotia.

“This support from the Province sends a clear message to the global space industry that Nova Scotia is open for business,” said Stephen Matier, President and CEO of Maritime Launch. “With the help of the CITC, we are building the foundation for Canada’s commercial space sector, bringing jobs, innovation, and global investment to rural Nova Scotia and sovereign launch capability to Canada.”

The dedicated launch pad is a separate, stand-alone launch platform designed to serve Maritime Launch’s growing customer base of international launch providers. The project includes the full suite of specialized infrastructure required for safe and efficient orbital launch operations, including a flame diverter, gas and propellant system interfaces, electrical and power systems, civil works, and other mission-critical components tailored to support modern small launch vehicles.

“Nova Scotia is working to grow our economy, and we’re happy to see companies investing in their future here,” said Premier Tim Houston. “This tax credit will continue to support Maritime Launch Services in creating something truly exciting to be part of – a spaceport here in the Province. In the process, they’ll create opportunities for Nova Scotians in rural areas.”
