CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vitalist Inc. (TSX-V: VITA.V; OTCQB: VTLSF) (“Vitalist”), a leading electronics company specializing in smart wearable technology and a licensee of prominent global brands, is pleased to announce that its common shares are now eligible for electronic clearing and settlement in the United States through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) and have been approved for FAST (Fast Automated Securities Transfer) eligibility.
DTC and FAST eligibility is expected to simplify the process of trading, reduce transaction costs, and enhance the liquidity of Vitalist shares in the United States. The Company’s shares recently began trading on the OTCQB® Venture Market (“OTCQB”) under the ticker symbol VTLSF.
DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, a U.S. company that manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through DTC are considered to be “DTC eligible.” In addition to DTC eligibility, the Company has attained FAST eligibility. This allows the Company’s transfer agent to hold Vitalist shares in electronic form, facilitating the immediate transfer of shares between DTC and the transfer agent without the need for physical certificates. Together, these designations accelerate the settlement process for investors and brokers, enabling the stock to be traded over a much wider selection of brokerage firms by coming into compliance with their digital requirements.
The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol VITA, and on the OTCQB under the symbol VTLSF.

Forward-Looking Information
This press release contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws. In general, forward-looking information refers to disclosure about future conditions, courses of action, and events. The use of any of the words “anticipates”, “believes”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “will”, “would”, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking information. More particularly and without limitation, this press release includes forward-looking information with respect to the expected impact of DTC and FAST eligibility on the trading process, the potential for enhanced liquidity of the Company’s common shares in the United States, and the accessibility of the shares to a wider selection of brokerage firms.
Although Vitalist believes that the expectations and assumptions on which such forward-looking information is based are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on the forward-looking information because Vitalist cannot give any assurance that it will prove to be accurate. Actual results could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors and risks, including but not limited to: the fact that DTC and FAST eligibility does not guarantee increased trading volume or a higher share price; market volatility; and general economic conditions. A detailed description of risk factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking information can be found in Vitalist’s most recent annual information form and management’s discussion and analysis on the SEDAR website at http://www.sedarplus.ca. Although Vitalist has attempted to identify in its public disclosure important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Readers are cautioned that the risk factors in its public disclosure may not be exhaustive. Readers are further cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information as there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which they are placed will occur. Forward-looking information contained in this press release is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement. The forward-looking information contained in this press release represents the expectations of Vitalist as of the date of this press release and, accordingly, is subject to change after such date. However, Vitalist expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as expressly required by applicable securities law.
