VANCOUVER, BC, Oct. 23, 2026 /CNW/ -- Hydaway Digital Corp. (TSXV: HIDE) (OTCQB: HIDDF) (FSE: C88) ("Hydaway" or the "Company") announces that it intends to consolidate its issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of seven (7) pre-consolidated common shares to one (1) post-consolidated common share (the "Consolidation"), and to change its name to "Quantex Digital Corp." (the "Name Change").

The purpose of the Consolidation is to improve the capital structure and generate greater investor interest. The Company currently has 37,482,261 common shares issued and outstanding. Upon completion of the Consolidation, the Company will have 5,354,609 common shares issued and outstanding.  Fractional shares will be rounded to the nearest whole number.

In accordance with the Articles of the Company, the Name Change and Consolidation do not require the approval of the shareholders. Upon completion of the Name Change and Consolidation, a letter of transmittal will be sent by mail to registered shareholders advising that the Consolidation has taken effect. The letter of transmittal will contain instructions on how registered shareholders can exchange their share certificates and/or DRS statements evidencing their pre-Consolidation common shares for new share certificates and/or new DRS statements representing the number of post- Consolidation common shares to which they are entitled. No action is required by non-registered shareholders (shareholders who hold their common shares through an intermediary) to effect the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate representing the pre-consolidation common shares will be deemed for all purpose to represent the number of common shares to which the holder is entitled as a result of the Consolidation.

The Consolidation and the Name Change are subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.  Upon acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange, the Company will issue a further news release announcing the effective date of the Name Change and Consolidation as well as the new stock symbol of the Company.
