VOTI DETECTION ANNOUNCES A SALE PROPOSAL OF CERTAIN OF ITS ASSETS

MONTREAL, Dec. 22, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - VOTI Detection Inc. (the "Company") announces that the Company and its subsidiary VOTI Inc. (collectively, "VOTI") have entered into a definitive agreement for the sale of certain of the assets of VOTI ("Sale Proposal") by Rapiscan Holdings, Inc., an affiliate of Rapiscan Systems, Inc. ("Rapiscan"), a leading supplier of security inspection solutions, in connection with its previously announced sale and investment solicitation process (the "SISP") under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA").

VOTI conducted the SISP with the assistance of Stifel GMP, acting as financial advisor, and of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the proposal trustee (the "Trustee").

The closing of the acquisition is subject to certain standard conditions and is expected to take place on or about December 22, 2022. The Sale Proposal is subject to the issuance by the Superior Court of Quebec of a final and executory approval and vesting order at OSI's entire satisfaction.

There can be no assurance that the transaction will be successfully concluded in a timely manner or at all. The failure of VOTI to achieve its restructuring goals through an approved proposal would result in VOTI being deemed to have made an assignment into bankruptcy.

Other information about the Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal ("Notice of Intention") pursuant to the provisions of Part III of the BIA proceedings will be available on the Trustee's website at http://www.pwc.com/car-VOTI.

Advisors

VOTI is advised by Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP (legal counsel) and Stifel GMP (financial advisor).
