Sierra International Network Inc. Files Form S-1, Advancing Proposed Nasdaq Capital Market Direct Listing

IRVINE, Calif., August 13, 2026 — Sierra International Network Inc. ("SINI" or the "Company") today announced that it filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on July 29, 2026. The filing represents an important milestone in the Company's plan to pursue a direct listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the reserved ticker symbol SINI.

A Market Identity Worth Celebrating

The Company is proud to celebrate the reservation of the ticker symbol SINI — a meaningful step in establishing its future public-market identity. The symbol offers shareholders, prospective investors and the broader market a simple, memorable connection to Sierra International Network and reflects the Company's momentum as it works toward its proposed Nasdaq Capital Market direct listing. Reservation of the ticker symbol is separate from, and does not constitute, approval of the Company's Nasdaq listing application.

The filing advances a public-market strategy the Company announced in September 2025 and reflects SINI's continued work to build the governance, reporting and operational foundation expected of a public company. SINI views the proposed listing as a potential platform for greater visibility, broader investor awareness and stronger long-term engagement with shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Form S-1 supports a proposed direct listing rather than a traditional underwritten initial public offering. The registration statement has not yet become effective. Completion of the proposed listing remains subject to SEC review, Nasdaq review and approval, completion of the Company's audit and required financial-statement process, satisfaction of applicable listing standards, market conditions and other customary conditions. There can be no assurance regarding the timing or completion of the proposed listing.

"We believe enduring companies are built where disciplined execution, innovation and shared opportunity come together. Filing our Form S-1 is an important step in SINI's evolution and a reflection of the work being done to build a transparent, purpose-driven institution for the long term. Our objective is larger than reaching the public markets. We are working to support entrepreneurs, widen participation in value creation and develop business models that connect contribution with ownership. While important work remains, we are excited about the path ahead and believe our most meaningful chapters are still to come." — Dr. Emil Hakim, Founder, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

A Distinctive Approach to Growth and Participation

SINI operates a business-development and direct-listing preparation platform for early-stage companies. Its model brings together advisory, operational and promotional support with technology-enabled programs intended to help participating businesses prepare for growth and potential future liquidity opportunities.

One element of that model is Follow Me For Equity (FMFE), through which eligible independent contractors may perform defined promotional and engagement-related services under written agreements and receive equity compensation for completed services. Participation in the FMFE program does not require an investment of capital; any equity issued through the program is intended as compensation for services performed. This approach reflects SINI's broader mission to make ownership more participatory while helping emerging companies build engaged communities around their growth.

Building Toward the Public Markets

SINI believes a Nasdaq listing, if achieved, could strengthen its market presence, reinforce public-company disciplines and introduce the Company to a wider community of institutional and individual investors. The Company also believes that greater visibility and transparency could support its long-term business-development strategy and expand future strategic options.

Because the proposed transaction is a direct listing and resale registration, the Company would not receive proceeds from any sales of registered shares by selling shareholders under the Form S-1. The Company's focus during the review process remains on completing required regulatory, audit, governance and listing-readiness work.
