VANCOUVER, BC, July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Victory Square Technologies Inc. ("Victory Square", "VST" or the "Company") (CSE: VST) (OTCQX: VSQTF) (FWB: 6F6) is providing shareholders with an update following today's news release issued by Hydreight Technologies Inc. ("Hydreight") regarding the recommendations of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") Pharmacy Compounding Advisory Committee ("PCAC") relating to certain peptide-related bulk drug substances.
Victory Square is Hydreight's largest shareholder, holding 23,891,515 common shares, representing approximately 44.5% of Hydreight's issued common shares. The Company is issuing this update because the regulatory developments described in Hydreight's announcement relate to one of Victory Square's significant healthcare investments.
During its meeting held July 23 and 24, 2026, the FDA advisory committee recommended that six peptide-related bulk drug substances-BPC-157, KPV, TB-500, MOTS-c, Semax and Epitalon-be included on the Section 503A Bulks List. The committee did not recommend Emideltide (DSIP).
The advisory committee's recommendations are non-binding and do not constitute FDA approval of any bulk drug substance or finished drug product. FDA will determine whether to propose the substances for inclusion on the Section 503A Bulks List through its regulatory rulemaking process.
Hydreight's news release outlines the company's comments regarding the committee's recommendations and notes that Hydreight will continue to monitor the regulatory process while evaluating potential opportunities in consultation with its clinical, pharmacy and legal partners. Shareholders are encouraged to review Hydreight's news release for additional information.
Victory Square's healthcare investments include companies operating in healthcare infrastructure, digital healthcare, drug delivery technology and companion animal health. The following summarizes certain of these investments and previously disclosed activities that may be relevant to shareholders in connection with the recent FDA advisory committee recommendations.

Victory Square also holds an investment in Insu Therapeutics, a development-stage biotechnology company developing a proprietary buccal drug delivery platform for peptide and biologic molecules.
