(Nasdaq: ZENA) (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (&#8220;ZenaTech&#8221;), a technology solution provider specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS, and Quantum Computing solutions for business and government, today announces its strategic alignment with recent U.S. government\u2019s actions restricting new foreign-made drone equipment, which has the potential to positively position its ZenaDrone U.S.-based drone subsidiary for U.S. Defense and Government demand. Additionally, recent developments in South America have underscored the growing role of drone-based intelligence and situational awareness in U.S. military operations, supporting favorable demand trends for domestic, NDAA-compliant drone manufacturers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\u201cRecent developments reinforce the clear reality that drones are now foundational to national security operations. The U.S. is moving quickly to secure trusted supply chains and strengthen its response to drone threats,\u201d said Shaun Passley, Ph.D., ZenaTech CEO. \u201cWe believe ZenaDrone is strategically positioned for success within this environment, including our pursuit of Blue UAS certification, ensuring full NDAA-compliant drone platforms, and our drone manufacturing facilities based in the U.S. We continue our ongoing focus on delivering secure, and compliant drone solutions for ISR, inspection, critical cargo, and infrastructure protection, which we believe meet the evolving needs of defense and government customers.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">On December 22<sup>nd<\/sup><sup>,<\/sup> 2025, the FCC\u2019s (Federal Communications Commission) Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau issued a public notice that updated the Covered List, restricting authorization of new foreign-made UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) equipment\u2014including dominant foreign drone maker, DJI\u2014based on national security determination. The FCC clarified that drones already authorized and in use are not immediately impacted. This list targets equipment that poses an unacceptable risk to the national security and safety of Americans. These regulatory developments underscore a shift toward trusted and compliant drone technologies, positioning ZenaDrone for increased adoption of its American-made, NDAA-compliant (National Defense Authorization Act) drone platforms across defense, public-sector, and government applications.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Further, management believes the current FCC updates, combined with other recent U.S. defense policy directives, may benefit the company\u2019s pursuit of U.S. Defense and Government business by:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8pt;text-align:justify\">\n          <strong>Rising demand for NDAA-compliant, trusted U.S. drone platforms<\/strong>, as federal users prepare for constrained availability of newly authorized foreign-made drone models.
