The Albany Gazette - Elvictor Group Secures Agreement for Up to US$5 Million in Equity Financing to Support Development of AI-Enabled Crew Platform

ATTIKI, GREECE / ACCESS Newswire / October 27, 2026 / Elvictor Group Inc. (OTC PINK:ELVG) ("Elvictor" or the "Company"), a provider of maritime crew management and recruitment services, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with a US-based investor (the "Investor") providing access to up to US$5 million in equity financing, subject to certain conditions.

Under the agreement, Elvictor may, at its sole discretion, sell shares of common stock to the Investor from time to time at a discount to the market price of the common stock, subject to minimum price, trading volume and other conditions. Sales may begin only after a registration statement covering the Investor's resale of the shares has been filed with, and declared effective by, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Company is not obligated to sell any shares under the agreement, and there can be no assurance that it will receive the full US$5 million commitment. Additional information is included in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 27, 2026.

The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from any sales of shares under the agreement for research and development of its AI-enabled crew recruitment and management platform, technology infrastructure and personnel, and general corporate purposes. By digitizing and streamlining paper-intensive workflows, Elvictor aims to serve additional clients and seafarers through a scalable platform without a proportional increase in operating costs and personnel as the business expands. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve this goal.

The platform is being designed as an AI-first crew-management network connecting seafarers, ship managers and personnel across Elvictor's international office network. It is intended to reduce the documentation and compliance-verification burden across these groups and improve service responsiveness and transparency.

The Company reports that its initial minimum viable product (MVP) is operating in a limited capacity. Selected workflows are already in active internal use, with additional capabilities and integrations continuing to be developed. Management expects broader adoption of AI applications to improve operating efficiencies and reduce unit costs as the platform scales. The Company has not yet realized material cost savings from the platform, and there can be no assurance that the platform will produce the anticipated efficiencies and transparency.

Based on its internal research, Elvictor believes it is among the first companies in the crew recruitment and management sector to artificial intelligence central to its operating model and adopt an AI-first operating model, positioning the Company to bring greater automation, efficiency and transparency to an industry that continues to rely heavily on manual processes

Konstantinos S. Galanakis, Chief Executive Officer of Elvictor Group, Inc., said: "This funding agreement gives us the opportunity to further develop our AI technology platform, designed specifically to bring crew recruitment and management into the 21st century. We believe applying AI to our paper-intensive industry has the potential to reduce costs and provide clients with greater efficiency and transparency. We are excited about what lies ahead as we continue developing the platform and bringing these capabilities to our clients."
