("Questor" or the "Company") (TSX-V: QST) announces that leading independent proxy advisory firm Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS") has recommended that shareholders vote FOR all five of the Company’s director nominees ahead of the upcoming annual general meeting of shareholders scheduled to be held on September 9, 2026 (the "Meeting"). ISS is a leading independent proxy advisor that provides voting recommendations to its subscribers. The Company also announces that the co-owners of A.S Fin, a family office that owns or controls 421,550 common shares of Questor, has provided a strong letter of support regarding Questor’s nominees, stating: “We write to state formally, and without reservation, our support for the Board of Directors and for the election of Paul Huizinga, Mike Krayacich, Jason Smith, Bastien Commet and Saj Shapiro as independent directors at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on September 9, 2026. We will vote all of our shares FOR the election of the Board’s nominees and FOR the other management resolutions, using the GOLD proxy.” In pledging its support, A. S Fin focusses on value, governance and alignment stating: <ul type="disc"><li style="margin-bottom:12pt; text-align:justify;">“Value. Our own analysis of the Company led us to a simple conclusion: the reproduction value of what Questor owns – its rental fleet, its patents and the only ISO 14034 third-party verified 99.99% combustion technology in its market– exceeds what its recent earnings reflect. A balance sheet without debt and with cash on hand gives the Company the time to close that gap. In our experience, a gap of this kind closes through execution, not through a change of control.</li><li style="text-align:justify;">Governance. Since April 2026, the independent directors have done what shareholders are entitled to expect of them. They took a difficult decision on leadership, formed a Special Committee composed exclusively of independent directors, appointed interim leadership, opened the search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer and retained an independent financial advisor to the Special Committee. A board that acts this way is exercising its own judgment on behalf of all shareholders.</li></ul> <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:justify;">Alignment. As disclosed by the Company, the former Chief Executive Officer, who leads the dissident slate, is pursuing legal proceedings against the Company, its independent directors and its Chief Financial Officer while seeking election to the Board. In our judgment, a director who is at the same time a claimant against the Company cannot exercise the undivided loyalty the role requires. Two successive boards of independent directors have reached the same conclusion regarding her leadership. We see no basis on which shareholders should reverse it.” </li></ul> The full letter can be viewed at <a href="http://www.questortech.com/vote" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="www.questortech.com/vote">www.questortech.com/vote</a>. A Clear Choice for Shareholders Questor is at a critical inflection point, and the choice at the Meeting is clear. Shareholders can support a Board executing a disciplined plan for growth already in motion, or risk a return to the instability and value destruction of the past. Former Chief Executive Officer Audrey Mascarenhas has put forward a slate of hand-picked director nominees, along with herself. Her third return to the Company, after being removed twice by two separate boards in the past three years, presents ongoing litigation risk, unresolved governance concerns, and an irreconcilable conflict of interest. A letter to shareholders from the independent directors, an investor presentation and the Company’s management information circular are available on Questor’s website at questortech.com/vote and under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca. How to Vote To ensure that proxy votes are counted at the Meeting, shareholders are urged to vote well in advance of the proxy voting deadline of Friday, September 4, 2026 at 1 p.m. MDT. Vote using only the GOLD proxy FOR the Company’s five director nominees and FOR all other resolutions set out in the proxy materials.
