BRP‑Rotax unveils its latest milestone in aviation with Aircraft Meets Racetrack. In an unprecedented accomplishment for the Bahrain International Circuit, Red Bull athlete and Rotax Ambassador Luke Czepiela became the first pilot to fly this Grand Prix track's complete racing line from the air, showcasing the capabilities of Rotax powered aviation in a dramatic low‑level performance. Gunskirchen, Austria - Newsaktuell - 10 February 2026 - In a demonstration of precision aviation, Luke Czepiela traced the full ideal line of the Bahrain International Circuit at low level, including short takeoffs and landings (STOL) on the start/finish straight. The achievement is documented in the short film Aircraft Meets Racetrack, the first project to emerge from BRP-Rotax's Brand Ambassador partnership with Luke Czepiela, launched in 2025. The short film premiered during the Bahrain International Circuit's official F1 pre‑season press conference today. When Racing Meets Aviation The project transfers what racing drivers follow on the ground with high precision accuracy into the sky. The circuit's racing line becomes an aerial flight path, demanding exceptionally tight tolerances, high and low speeds, and uncompromising line discipline. Conducting the maneuver required extreme precision. Low altitude, shifting wind conditions, more than 495 light poles, and the narrow, enclosed layout of the Grand Prix track created an environment with virtually no margin for error. "Flying a racing line from the air demands absolute control at low altitude and instant reaction in every phase," said Czepiela, Rotax Brand Ambassador. "It is precision flying in its purest form." The flight was performed in a CubCrafters Carbon Cub UL equipped with the 160‑hp Rotax 916 iS engine. The aircraft's lightweight STOL design, immediate throttle response, and exceptional power‑to‑weight ratio made the aerial replication of the racing line possible. Production took place during the 2025 Rotax MAX Challenge Grand Finals in Bahrain – marking the first time all project partners collaborated on‑site. Working closely with the Bahrain International Circuit, Red Bull Bahrain, and local authorities, the team implemented a comprehensive safety and operations plan. The track and airspace were fully closed to ensure uninterrupted filming, supported by constant air traffic coordination and emergency services on-site. "With Luke Czepiela, we aimed to create something that authentically unites our two passions: racing and aviation," said Peter Ölsinger, General Manager of BRP‑Rotax and Vice-President Sales, Marketing RPS‑Business & Communications. "This project represents technical precision, long‑standing partnerships, and the courage to pursue new creative paths." The film not only showcases a great achievement it underscores Rotax's mission to connect disciplines, push boundaries, and deliver high‑performance experiences on the ground and in the air.

The Next Generation of Global Mobility Takes Flight In the rarefied world of ultra-long-range private aviation, generational shifts do not occur often. Aircraft platforms tend to evolve incrementally, refining performance and comfort over decades rather than redefining them outright. When a genuine leap forward does arrive, it tends to signal more than technological progress. It marks a recalibration of expectations—how far, how comfortably, and how effectively the world’s most influential individuals can move. That recalibration is now unfolding across Asia with the introduction of the Gulfstream G700 into VIP Global’s private jet membership access. For Taiwan’s ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs), Fortune 500 executives, and global principals, the G700 represents not simply a new aircraft, but a next-generation mobility platform—one designed to support leadership at a global scale without compromise. Why Asia Demands the World’s Most Advanced Aircraft Asia-Pacific executives operate across the world’s longest and most complex travel corridors. A single leadership itinerary may span: Taipei to New York Singapore to London Tokyo to Silicon Valley These journeys are not occasional. For many executives, they are routine. As Asia’s influence grows, so too does the expectation that leaders based in the region can reach any global hub directly, discreetly, and at full operational capacity upon arrival. The Gulfstream G700 is purpose-built for this reality. The G700 as a Platform, Not a Product Unlike earlier generations of business jets, the G700 was designed from inception as a platform for life and work at altitude, not merely a vehicle for transport. Its defining attributes include: Extended intercontinental range supporting nonstop global missions The largest and most flexible cabin in Gulfstream’s history Advanced environmental controls designed for human endurance Next-generation avionics supporting precision and reliability Within VIP Global’s membership ecosystem, the G700 functions as an airborne extension of executive headquarters—capable of sustaining productivity, privacy, and comfort across the longest missions demanded by Asia’s elite. Taiwan’s Leadership Class Embraces Next-Gen Capability Taiwan’s business and wealth landscape has evolved rapidly. Leaders are no longer managing regional portfolios alone; they are orchestrating global networks of capital, technology, and influence. For this cohort, travel limitations translate directly into strategic limitations. The G700’s arrival into VIP Global’s Asia-accessible fleet signals recognition that Taiwan’s leadership class requires first-mover access to the most advanced aviation capability available. This is not about novelty. It is about readiness for the next decade of global engagement. Extended Range Without Trade-Offs Range has long been a defining metric in private aviation. What distinguishes the G700 is its ability to deliver extended range without degrading the onboard experience. Executives no longer have to choose between: Distance and cabin comfort Speed and rest Performance and privacy The G700 integrates these variables seamlessly, allowing Asia-based leaders to reach strategic hubs in North America, Europe, and the Middle East nonstop—while maintaining full operational effectiveness. For VIP Global members, this translates into true global reach without compromise. Cabin Architecture Designed for Human Performance The G700’s cabin is not simply larger; it is architected around human performance. Key design elements support: Multiple distinct living and working zones Natural light through panoramic windows Low cabin altitude and optimized air quality Flexible layouts that adapt to mission requirements For executives, this environment mitigates fatigue and preserves cognitive sharpness—critical when decisions must be made immediately upon arrival. Within VIP Global’s membership context, the G700 elevates the cabin from a luxury space to a performance environment. Asia’s Most Exacting Travelers Set New Standards Asia’s UHNW travelers are among the world’s most discerning. Their expectations are shaped by exposure to global standards across hospitality, finance, and technology. What differentiates this cohort is not demand for excess, but intolerance for friction. The G700’s inclusion within VIP Global’s membership offering responds directly to this sensibility. It eliminates compromises that were once accepted as unavoidable—layovers, fatigue, inconsistent environments. For Asia’s most exacting travelers, this elimination is transformative. Strategic Hubs, Directly Connected One of the most compelling advantages of the G700 is its ability to connect Asia directly to the world’s most important decision centers. From Taiwan, this includes: Financial hubs in North America Political and economic centers in Europe Technology corridors spanning multiple continents Direct connectivity shortens decision cycles, strengthens relationships, and enhances responsiveness—advantages that compound over time. VIP Global’s members gain not just access to destinations, but control over strategic timing. Membership as the Gateway to Innovation In private aviation, access to next-generation aircraft is often constrained by ownership timelines and production backlogs. Membership models offer a strategic alternative, allowing clients to benefit from innovation without bearing the burden of ownership. VIP Global’s introduction of the G700 within its membership portfolio exemplifies this advantage. Members gain exposure to the industry’s most advanced platform while maintaining flexibility across fleet options. This approach aligns with how Asia’s elite increasingly engage with technology and capital: access over accumulation. The Cultural Significance of Quiet Advancement In Taiwan and much of Asia, leadership advancement is rarely announced loudly. It is observed. The adoption of next-generation capability—such as the G700—signals preparedness and foresight without requiring explanation. VIP Global’s role is to enable this quiet advancement, ensuring that members operate at the forefront of capability while maintaining cultural discretion. A New Benchmark for Asia’s Private Aviation Market The inclusion of the G700 raises the bar for what is considered “top-tier” private aviation in Asia. It reinforces a broader shift: From premium to ultra-premium From comfort to performance From access to advantage For competitors and peers alike, the message is clear: Asia’s leadership class now expects the same or higher standards as their counterparts in North America and Europe. Environmental Control as a Leadership Tool While performance and luxury dominate discussion, the G700’s environmental systems deserve equal attention. Optimized cabin pressure, humidity, and air quality directly impact physical and cognitive well-being—factors increasingly recognized by executives who manage intense travel schedules. By supporting human performance on long missions, the G700 becomes not just a transport solution, but a leadership tool. VIP Global’s Ultra-Long-Range Doctrine Continues VIP Global’s fleet philosophy has remained consistent: focus exclusively on ultra-long-range aircraft capable of supporting intercontinental leadership mobility. The G700’s integration into this portfolio reinforces that doctrine. It is not an outlier—it is the next logical step. For members, this consistency ensures that every aircraft option aligns with a shared standard of capability and refinement. The Competitive Implications of First Access In global business, early access to superior capability often translates into lasting advantage. Executives who can travel farther, faster, and more comfortably maintain stronger relationships and act with greater agility. VIP Global’s members gain this advantage through structured access to the G700—positioning them ahead of peers constrained by older platforms or commercial schedules. Looking Forward: The Decade Ahead in Private Aviation As Asia’s influence continues to expand, the demands placed on its leaders will only intensify. Aircraft like the G700 represent the future of private aviation: environments where leadership can function continuously, regardless of distance. VIP Global’s proactive integration of next-generation platforms ensures its members are prepared not just for today’s demands, but for the next decade of global engagement. Conclusion: Next-Gen Mobility for a Global Era The Gulfstream G700’s arrival within VIP Global’s Asia-accessible fleet marks a pivotal moment in regional private aviation. For Taiwan’s UHNW individuals and Fortune 500 executives, it offers more than extended range or enhanced luxury. It offers freedom from compromise. By combining next-generation performance with refined human-centered design, the G700 enables Asia’s most influential travelers to operate globally without interruption.

For decades, residential security has been the default response to personal risk for wealthy families. High walls. Controlled gates. Surveillance cameras. On-site guards. These measures have long symbolized safety, privacy, and permanence—particularly for ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) households with significant physical assets tied to a primary residence. But for a growing number of globally mobile families across Asia, this static model no longer reflects how risk actually manifests. Executives commute across borders. Children attend international schools. Family members maintain residences in multiple countries. Public exposure extends beyond the home into airports, hotels, boardrooms, hospitals, and social settings. In this context, the question facing UHNW families has shifted:Is security best anchored to a place—or aligned with people? At the center of this discussion is VIP Global, which approaches family security not as a fixed infrastructure problem, but as a governance and mobility challenge—one that increasingly favors dynamic Executive Protection over purely residential solutions. The Limits of Static Security Residential security is, by design, place-bound. It assumes that risk is concentrated around a fixed asset—the home—and that protection can be achieved by controlling access to that asset. For families with stable routines and limited public exposure, this model can be effective. However, for UHNW families operating across Asia’s financial and cultural centers, the assumptions underpinning static security often break down. Risk today follows movement, visibility, and association—not square footage. A fortified residence does little to mitigate exposure during: International travel Medical visits School transitions Business engagements Social and philanthropic activity As families become more globally distributed, the proportion of time spent outside primary residences increases—while exposure often peaks precisely during those moments of transition. Dynamic Exposure in a Global Lifestyle Modern UHNW lifestyles are inherently mobile. Family principals may divide their time between Taipei, Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Seoul. Children may attend boarding schools or universities abroad. Family offices coordinate investments and governance across jurisdictions. This mobility introduces a category of risk that static security was never designed to address: dynamic exposure. Dynamic exposure includes: Predictable travel patterns Repeated use of public infrastructure Visibility at transitional points Unstructured interaction with third parties Executive Protection evolved to address precisely this category of risk—treating people, rather than places, as the primary security focus. Executive Protection as a Family Governance Tool For UHNW families, security decisions increasingly intersect with governance. Family offices, trustees, and advisors are expected to demonstrate that reasonable measures are in place to protect not only assets, but people—particularly next-generation members. In this framework, Executive Protection functions less like a guard service and more like a governance tool. It provides: Continuity across locations Documented risk assessment processes Professional oversight aligned with fiduciary standards Discretion compatible with family values VIP Global’s advisory approach reflects this shift, positioning Executive Protection as part of a broader family risk strategy rather than a reactive response to specific threats. Succession Planning and Security Continuity Succession planning is one of the most complex challenges UHNW families face. As leadership transitions across generations, exposure profiles change. Younger family members often have different travel habits, digital footprints, and social visibility than their predecessors. Static residential security does not adapt easily to these changes. Executive Protection, by contrast, is inherently scalable and adjustable. Protection levels can evolve alongside responsibility, visibility, and maturity—providing continuity without imposing uniform restrictions. For families concerned with long-term stability, this adaptability aligns security planning with succession governance. Residential Security Still Matters—But Differently The shift toward Executive Protection does not render residential security obsolete. Rather, it reframes its role. In modern UHNW security planning, residential measures serve as one layer within a broader system—focused on asset protection, access control, and baseline deterrence. Executive Protection addresses what residential security cannot: movement, interaction, and exposure beyond the perimeter. VIP Global’s advisory model emphasizes integration rather than replacement—ensuring that static and dynamic measures reinforce rather than duplicate each other. The Cultural Dimension of Family Security in Asia Asia’s cultural context adds another layer of complexity. Privacy, discretion, and social harmony are deeply valued across many Asian societies. Visible security measures can conflict with these norms—particularly in residential settings where community perception matters. For UHNW families, excessive fortification may signal vulnerability or invite speculation. In contrast, well-executed Executive Protection operates largely unseen, preserving normalcy. This cultural sensitivity is especially relevant for families with public standing—business leaders, philanthropists, or individuals with political or social influence. Children, Education, and Transitional Risk One of the most sensitive areas of family security involves children. School runs, extracurricular activities, overseas education, and medical travel create recurring exposure points that static security cannot effectively cover. Executive Protection provides a framework for managing these transitions without imposing constant restrictions. Rather than enclosing children within fortified environments, professional protection focuses on: Route planning Behavioral awareness Controlled transitions Discreet supervision This approach aligns with the expectations of families who value independence alongside safety. Medical Mobility and Family Risk Medical travel is another area where dynamic security becomes essential. UHNW families often seek treatment across borders, visiting specialized facilities in different countries. These journeys are inherently sensitive—both physically and emotionally. Executive Protection teams trained in medical readiness and mobility coordination can provide stability during these periods, ensuring continuity of care without compromising privacy. Residential security plays no role once the family leaves home. Information and Reputation Management For UHNW families, risk extends beyond physical harm. Information leakage—through observation, casual interaction, or digital traces—can compromise privacy, invite unwanted attention, or affect negotiations. Executive Protection addresses this by managing context: Where conversations occur How routines appear to observers What patterns can be inferred This advisory role aligns closely with reputation management—a priority for families whose names carry commercial, philanthropic, or social significance. Why Family Offices Are Re-Evaluating Security Models Family offices across Asia are increasingly reassessing traditional security frameworks. The question is no longer how secure a residence is, but how well a family’s overall risk posture reflects its lifestyle and governance structure. Executive Protection offers family offices: Flexibility across jurisdictions Alignment with fiduciary responsibilities Professional documentation and oversight Scalability across generations VIP Global’s role within this landscape is advisory rather than prescriptive—helping families understand trade-offs rather than imposing one-size-fits-all solutions. Cost Is Not the Primary Variable While residential security often involves significant capital expenditure, Executive Protection is typically viewed as an operational cost. However, UHNW families increasingly evaluate security through a value lens rather than a cost lens. The relevant question becomes:Does the security model reduce exposure without constraining lifestyle or governance? In many cases, dynamic protection delivers disproportionate value by addressing the most exposed phases of family life—movement, interaction, and transition. A Hybrid Model for Modern Families The emerging consensus among advisors is not binary. The most effective UHNW security strategies combine: Baseline residential security for assets Executive Protection for people Governance oversight for continuity This hybrid model reflects the reality that risk is neither static nor singular. VIP Global’s advisory approach supports this integration, ensuring that protection adapts to the family rather than the reverse. Conclusion: From Places to People As UHNW families become more global, visible, and complex, the limitations of place-based security become increasingly apparent. Risk follows people, not property. Executive Protection addresses this shift by aligning security with movement, decision-making, and governance—providing continuity across borders and generations. For families navigating succession, mobility, and public exposure across Asia, the most effective protection may not be the highest wall—but the most adaptable framework. About VIP Global VIP Global is an Asia-based provider of executive protection, secure mobility, and risk management services for ultra-high-net-worth families, Fortune 500 executives, and institutional clients operating across the region.

Home to more than 650 whiskies curated across eight flavour profiles, the venue celebrates precision, ritual, and the aroma, from rare and limited-edition bottles to guided tastings and signature smoke-infused cocktails inspired by Macau's cultural eclecticism and morsels designed to appeal to connoisseurs and the curious alike. Featuring a cabinet of the world's rarest unicorn whiskies, even the private reserve of whisky casks of provenance might be sighted by those in-the-know. Botanica, a 48-seat restaurant led by Executive Chef Stephen Hsu, serves international comfort classics reimagined with Asian influences for the global palate. Light floods the tropical interiors by Moinard Bétaille, where indoor water reflections feature beneath imaginary jungle vines and a cluster of soft, pillow-like fungi stretch across the high ceilings. Ornamental glass screens and trellises add to an ambient space punctuated by climbing botanicals and sculptural works by Mexican artist Joel Escalona, creating a casual yet refined atmosphere. Further elevating Galaxy Macau's culinary stature, acclaimed Hong Kong chef Vicky Cheng will open an independent fine-dining restaurant within Capella at Galaxy Macau in 2026. The Michelin-starred chef and Krug Ambassador, whose Wing restaurant is ranked number three on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list, is set to present modern French cuisine shaped by his distinctive and adventurous culinary vision. Francis Lui, Chairman of Galaxy Entertainment Group, concludes: "Capella at Galaxy Macau's architecture, service, gastronomy, and residential privacy create a singular experience for our top percentile of VIP guests, one that sets a new reference point for hospitality in Macau and globally.

***NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWS WIRE SERVICES.*** Vancouver, British Columbia - Newsfile Corp. - February 10, 2026 - Railtown AI Technologies Inc. (CSE: RAIL) ("Railtown" or the "Company"), a Canadian company building advanced AI developer and agentic platforms, announces that Mike Lazaridis, co-founder of Research In Motion (now known as BlackBerry), has joined Railtown's Advisory Board and along with fellow co-founder Doug Fregin, is leading a $3.4 million private placement in Railtown (the "Private Placement"), further supporting the company's growth and mission to develop Canadian AI talent and technology. The Private Placement consists of up to 11,333,334 units of the Company (each, a "Unit") at a price of $0.30 per Unit, with each Unit comprised of one common share in the capital of Railtown (each, a "Share") and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant is exercisable into one (1) Share at a price of $0.45 per Share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance, subject to acceleration in certain limited circumstances. Mr. Lazaridis and Mr. Fregin are two of Canada's most accomplished technology entrepreneurs who pioneered the modern smartphone industry. They grew Research In Motion from a startup into one of Canada's most successful technology companies with $19 billion in annual revenues, 18,000 employees worldwide, and a peak market value of $68 billion. Railtown's mission, through its Agent Development Platform and collaborations with TELUS and other Canadian AI data hosting providers, is to create a Canadian-focused AI development and deployment ecosystem which aligns closely with both Mr. Lazaridis' and Mr. Fregin's long-standing commitment to building and retaining world-class technology talent in Canada. "Canada develops exceptional talent, but too many feel they have to leave the country to pursue meaningful opportunities," said Mr. Lazaridis. "It's critical that we build companies, platforms, and ecosystems here that allow Canadians to innovate, grow, and compete globally. Railtown is building foundational AI technology in Canada, and I'm excited to support that vision." In addition to their entrepreneurial achievements, both Mr. Lazaridis and Mr. Fregin have been a driving force behind Canada's leadership in advanced science and deep technology. Between the two of them, they are founding partners of Quantum Valley Investments, the Institute for Quantum Computing, the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, and Quantum Valley Ideas Lab - institutions that have helped position Canada as a global centre for quantum research and commercialization. Railtown's focus on Canadian AI sovereignty, including secure, transparent, developer-centric AI infrastructure and agent platforms, closely reflects these values. "Having spent time working in Silicon Valley, I've seen firsthand how powerful a strong technology ecosystem can be," said Cory Brandolini, CEO of Railtown. "In the Valley, many of the most successful founders lead by example-actively investing in the next generation of startups, sharing hard-earned experience, and providing valuable advisory insight. That culture of reinvestment is a major reason the ecosystem continues to thrive." "Mike and Doug's decision to invest in Railtown sends a powerful signal about what's possible when experienced Canadian founders support the next wave of innovation. This investment, along with Mike's involvement on the Advisory Board will add invaluable strategic guidance, reinforcing Railtown's mission to build a globally competitive AI company from Canada." As described above, the Warrants issuable in Private Placement are subject to acceleration such that if, during a period of 10 consecutive trading days prior to their expiry date, the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange (the "CSE") or such other stock exchange where the majority of the trading volume occurs, exceeds $0.90 for each of those 10 consecutive days, the Company may, within 30 days of such an occurrence, give written notice to the holders of the Warrants that the securities will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the 30th day following the giving of notice unless exercised by the holders prior to such date. Any Warrants which remain unexercised at 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on the 30th day following the giving of such notice will expire at that time. The Company intends to use the proceeds of the Private Placement for general working capital purposes and may pay finder's fees to eligible finders in the form of cash and/or common share purchase warrants. The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, receipt of all necessary approvals including the approval of the CSE. All securities issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a standard hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws. None of the securities referenced in this news release have been or will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or any applicable state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act) or persons in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements.
