As we advance our U.S. growth strategy, expanding awareness of Vanta within the U.S. investment community remains an important component of our broader corporate growth and capital markets initiatives." The Company believes its participation in the conference supports its broader strategy to expand its presence in the U.S. market by increasing visibility among institutional investors, family offices, investment advisors, and other capital markets participants.

The Company further believes that continued engagement with the U.S. investment community will complement its broader commercialization strategy as it advances the development of its integrated consumer health sciences and longevity platform. Vanta's U.S.-Focused Integrated Consumer Health Sciences & Longevity Ecosystem Vanta is developing a U.S.-focused integrated consumer health sciences and longevity ecosystem designed to address the growing demand for preventative wellness, personalized health optimization, and healthy aging. The Company's strategy is centered on building a diversified platform spanning compounded peptide therapies, functional nutraceuticals, and premium functional hydration products, supported by an integrated commercialization strategy combining direct-to-consumer (DTC), subscription, retail, and strategic distribution channels.

The Company believes integrating these complementary product categories within a single consumer health platform may support recurring customer engagement, expand cross-selling opportunities, strengthen customer lifetime value (LTV), and diversify revenue opportunities across multiple consumer health verticals. Compounded Peptide Therapies Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vanta Peptide Labs Inc., the Company is advancing a U.S.-focused compounded peptide therapy platform intended to support initiatives across longevity, metabolic health, recovery, performance optimization, body composition, and cellular wellness. The contemplated peptide platform is designed to integrate telehealth-enabled patient acquisition, physician consultation and prescription authorization workflows, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (" FDA ")-registered compounding pharmacy fulfillment, compliant payment processing infrastructure, and recurring subscription-based patient engagement into a unified commercialization model.

Through the Company's strategic master services, commercialization and operations agreement, as disclosed in the Company's news release dated May 28, 2026, Vanta has established a strategic foundational operating relationship supporting the development of these capabilities, including access to FDA-registered 503A and 503B compounding pharmacy infrastructure, institutional payment processing capabilities, and strategic operating expertise in scaling direct-to-consumer consumer health businesses through digital commerce, customer acquisition, subscription marketing, and omni-channel commercialization strategies. Functional Nutraceuticals Complementing the Company's contemplated peptide platform is Vanta's portfolio of nutraceutical products, designed to support cellular health, metabolic wellness, cognitive performance, recovery, and everyday health optimization through premium functional formulations. The Company's nutraceutical portfolio includes Vanta BlackPowder, a premium functional nutraceutical formulated from highly bioactive fulvic and humic mineral complexes sourced from pristine deposits in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia.

Manufactured utilizing patented Fulvic Isolation Technology™, 1 a proprietary process designed to isolate and concentrate highly bioactive fulvic and humic compounds, BlackPowder contains more than 65 trace minerals, together with magnesium and Vitamin B12, in a convenient daily single-serving powder format. Designed to support cellular function, mineral replenishment, immune function, gut health, nutrient absorption, cognitive function, and metabolic wellness. 2,3 The portfolio also includes the Company's Vanta Methylene Blue formulations, including Methylene Blue Slim, developed to support cellular energy, metabolic efficiency, endurance, and daily vitality, and Methylene Blue Brain, formulated to support cognitive performance, focus, memory, and mental clarity through pharmaceutical-grade methylene blue combined with complementary functional ingredients. 4,5 The Company believes these products are expected to complement its contemplated peptide platform by expanding its daily wellness offering, supporting recurring consumer engagement, and broadening commercialization opportunities across both direct-to-consumer and retail channels within Vanta's integrated longevity ecosystem. Premium Functional Hydration Vanta's premium functional hydration platform is anchored by Vanta Blackwater, the Company's flagship and original naturally dark, mineral-enriched alkaline spring water brand.

Formulated utilizing the Company's proprietary, Health Canada-approved fulvic and humic mineral formulation powered by patented Fulvic Isolation Technology™, 1 Vanta Blackwater is designed to support hydration, mineral replenishment, cellular function, immune function, gut health, nutrient absorption, cognitive performance, and broader everyday wellness applications. 2,3 As the creator of the original Blackwater brand, the Company believes its premium functional hydration platform represents a strategic commercial asset supporting the continued expansion of its integrated consumer health sciences and longevity platform. Leveraging proprietary formulations, vertically integrated manufacturing infrastructure, ownership of a premium natural alkaline spring water source, established retail distribution relationships, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) commercialization capabilities, the Company believes Blackwater provides a differentiated commercialization platform supporting its broader strategy across peptide therapies, functional nutraceuticals, premium functional hydration products, and future consumer health sciences initiatives. Vanta Blackwater is currently generating commercial revenue and is distributed through both direct-to-consumer and retail channels, including several leading Canadian retailers, without limitation, Whole Foods Market, Fresh St. Market, Safeway, London Drugs, and IGA.

The Company believes its established hydration business, together with its manufacturing capabilities, proprietary formulations, and commercial infrastructure, provides a scalable platform supporting continued product innovation, strategic partnerships, and commercialization opportunities across its broader consumer health sciences portfolio. Strategically Positioned to Participate in the Emerging US$1.4 Trillion Longevity Economy Healthcare is undergoing a paradigm shift as consumers increasingly prioritize preventative wellness, personalized healthcare, and healthy aging over traditional reactive disease treatment. Approximately 90% of the approximately US$4.9 trillion spent annually on healthcare in the United States is directed toward the treatment of chronic disease, 6 while the global longevity economy is projected to expand from approximately US$806 billion in 2024 to approximately US$1.4 trillion by 2029, representing a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. 7 The Company believes several long-term industry trends, including increasing adoption of telehealth-enabled healthcare delivery, expanding consumer demand for personalized wellness solutions, continued growth in subscription-based healthcare models, and increasing awareness of longevity-focused therapies, are reshaping the broader consumer health sciences landscape.

Against this backdrop, the Company believes its integrated consumer health sciences ecosystem provides exposure to multiple complementary segments of the longevity market through a diversified portfolio spanning peptide therapies, nutraceuticals, and premium functional hydration products. Rather than participating in a single product category, Vanta's commercialization strategy is intended to leverage complementary product offerings and recurring consumer engagement across multiple health and wellness touchpoints within a unified direct-to-consumer platform. The Company believes this integrated platform strategy may provide opportunities to expand customer lifetime value (LTV) through recurring subscription-based clinical services, complementary daily wellness products, premium hydration offerings, and shared customer acquisition infrastructure, while creating operational leverage across its broader commercialization platform.

The Company believes this strategy positions Vanta at the convergence of telehealth, preventative healthcare, longevity science, digital healthcare infrastructure, subscription commerce, and personalized wellness, providing exposure to one of the fastest-growing segments of the global consumer health sciences market. 1 Fulvic Isolation Technology™ is owned by an arm's length third-party strategic supply partner, 2 WellnessExtract , 3 AscentNutrition , 4 Drugs.com , 5 Renoja , 6 CDC , 7 Forbes About Vanta Holdings Inc.
