<div id="readability-page-1"><article>Appointment of Vineet Malhotra Adds Regulated Banking and Payments Expertise as Company Reaffirms Shareholder-Protective Capital ApproachTEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HUB Cyber Security Ltd. (Nasdaq: HUBC) (“HUB” or the “Company”), a global provider of confidential computing and secured data fabric technologies, today announced the appointment by its shareholders of Vineet Malhotra to its Board of Directors and provided a governance and capital framework update as the Company advances its long-term strategy. Board of Directors Update The Company’s expanded Board of Directors reflects a governance structure aligned with HUB’s focus on regulated infrastructure, financial systems, and risk-managed execution. Following the appointment of Mr. Malhotra, the Board includes independent members Renah Persofsky, Chairperson (governance and finance); Vineet Malhotra (banking and payments); Shlomo Bibas (strategy and technology); and Ilan Flato (capital markets, governance and regulatory affairs). They are joined by Major General (Ret.) Uzi Moscovici (national security and risk oversight and former HUB CEO and chairman) and Noah Hershcoviz, Chief Executive Officer, as Board members. Appointment of Vineet Malhotra Mr. Malhotra brings over two decades of senior leadership experience building and operating regulated banking and payment platforms on a global scale. He most recently served as Managing Director and Global Head of Simplii Financial, the digital bank of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC). His appointment strengthens the Board’s oversight across financial infrastructure, transaction systems, and regulated execution. Capital Framework and Shareholder Protection The Company recently published a proxy statement calling for its shareholders to approve a reverse share split. The Company’s management emphasizes that any consideration of such a step would be undertaken only if required to protect shareholders and make HUB’s shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, or in order to maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements, if necessary, and avoid potential outcomes that may be detrimental to long-term shareholder value. “We are strengthening HUB’s governance framework to match the scale, responsibility, and regulatory complexity of the systems we are building,” said Noah Hershcoviz, CEO of HUB. “We have deliberately expanded our Board with leaders who have operated regulated financial, security, technology and public-company infrastructure at scale, thereby enhancing the Company’s execution discipline, risk oversight, and long-term value creation. We have also recently received shareholder approval to increase our authorized share capital, providing flexibility to support financing and strategic initiatives while also seeking approval for actions that maintain appropriate shareholder protections. Any steps taken in this regard would be implemented only if necessary to protect shareholder interests and/or maintain Nasdaq compliance. HUB’s focus remains unchanged: disciplined execution, platform strength, and the creation of durable, long-term value.” About HUB Cyber Security Ltd. HUB Cyber Security Ltd.
