WILMINGTON, Mass., Sept. 24, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd., a leading technology provider of AI-based, next-generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, today announced the grant of an aggregate of 43,888 restricted share units (the "RSUs") to certain directors and officers of the Company pursuant to the Company's Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan dated for reference November 6, 2025 (the "Plan").
Under the terms of the grant, 23,888 RSUs vest on September 24, 2027, and 20,000 RSUs vest on September 24, 2028. All RSUs have an expiry date of September 24, 2031. Each RSU entitles the holder to receive one common share of the Company upon vesting and settlement.
The announcement comes as Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. continues to expand its U.S. distribution footprint with a strategic, non-exclusive distribution agreement with VMI Security. VMI Security is a recognized leader in non-intrusive security inspection solutions, serving a broad range of market verticals, including aviation, critical infrastructure, government, and public venues.
Under the agreement, VMI will offer Liberty’s HEXWAVE™ walkthrough screening system as part of its security solutions portfolio. HEXWAVE combines advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning with active sensing technology to detect metallic and non-metallic weapons, explosives, and other emerging threats in real time, while enabling a high-throughput, frictionless screening experience.
The partnership provides Liberty with access to VMI’s established customer relationships, extensive sales infrastructure, and deep expertise across airports, critical infrastructure, public venues, and other security-sensitive environments. VMI’s established market presence and ability to integrate multiple security technologies into comprehensive screening solutions are expected to enhance Liberty’s ability to introduce HEXWAVE to new customers and support additional commercial opportunities.
The partnership with VMI Security comes at a critical time for the expanding US security screening market. VMI has a proven track record of delivering next-generation security inspection technologies and the ability to provide customers with end-to-end checkpoint screening solutions, now including HEXWAVE. Liberty Defense believes the combination of VMI’s security expertise and customer reach with Liberty’s AI-enabled detection capabilities creates a compelling opportunity to expand the adoption of HEXWAVE in high-value security applications.
