LOS ANGELES and LONDON - August 19, 2026 - VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) ("VisionWave" or the "Company"), a technology company focused on advanced defense, aerospace and artificial intelligence solutions, today announced the appointment of Tony Fabrizio as Director, Aerospace and Defense of VisionWave Holdings UK Ltd, a subsidiary of VisionWave (the "UK Subsidiary"), strengthening the Company's business development capabilities across the United Kingdom and European defense markets.

Fabrizio has more than 25 years of experience spanning defense, government, telecommunications, cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and digital transformation. Throughout his career, he has worked extensively with the UK Ministry of Defence ("MOD"), defense prime contractors, government organizations and international technology partners. Each of the foregoing engagements was undertaken in roles with employers other than VisionWave.

His experience includes building defense and public-sector practices, developing go-to-market strategies, establishing strategic partnerships and supporting complex government and defense technology programs. Fabrizio previously served in senior roles with organizations including Oracle, BetterGov and Acronis SCS, among others.

At BetterGov, Fabrizio established the company's defense-sector capability and secured and delivered a £2 million (approximately US$2.7 million at current exchange rates) MOD program for that company. At Oracle, he supported MOD transformation programs for that company.

Fabrizio has also developed and supported strategic engagements with defense prime contractors and technology partners on behalf of his prior employers.

In his role with VisionWave, Fabrizio will lead business development and sales activities for the Company's products and services across the United Kingdom and Europe, with a particular focus on developing relationships with government defense organizations, defense primes and strategic technology partners.

"Tony's extensive experience navigating the UK defense ecosystem and building relationships across government, defense primes and technology organizations makes him an important addition to our growing European organization," said Douglas Davis, Chief Executive Officer of VisionWave Holdings, Inc. "As VisionWave expands its defense and aerospace platform internationally, we believe having experienced leadership on the ground that understands both advanced technology and the procurement environment is essential. Tony brings that combination."

The appointment represents another step in VisionWave's strategy to expand its commercial and strategic presence within the international defense and aerospace markets.
