HYTN Introduces HARd

Remediation to GMP

Processing Services, Releases

Product in Germany

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HYTN Innovations Inc. (CSE:

HYTN, FSE: 85W0, OTC Pink: HYTNF) (“HYTN” or the “Company”), a pharmaceutical manufacturer

specializing in products containing psychoactive and psychotropic compounds, is pleased to

announce the commercial launch of Hermetic Autogenous Remediation™ (“HARd”) as a service

offering for qualied dried cannabis ower programs.

HARd is HYTN’s proprietary remediation process for dried cannabis ower, developed and validated

within the Company’s GMP quality systems. The process is designed to reduce microbial burden

while preserving the structural, organoleptic and chemical characteristics of dried cannabis ower.

According to the Company’s validation work and third-party analytical testing, HARd has

demonstrated signicant microbial reduction across evaluated cannabis cultivars, including multi-

log reductions in Total Aerobic Microbial Count, Total Yeasts and Moulds Count, and Bile-Tolerant

Gram-Negative organisms. In many evaluated cases, post-process ndings were reported at levels

intended to support qualication against stringent microbiological specications associated with

inhalation drug specications under the European Pharmacopoeia.

The Company notes that HARd does not rely on external thermal input, ionizing or non-ionizing

radiation, chemical fumigation, or dehydration-based remediation methods. HYTN believes these

process characteristics are relevant for counterparties seeking a remediation pathway intended to

support product quality while maintaining key physical and chemical attributes within tightly

controlled quality and regulatory frameworks, including EU-GMP-aligned programs.

The Company further notes that dried cannabis ower processed using HARd has now been

released in Germany under a commercial program, demonstrating the practical application of the

process within a regulated international supply context. While that product release should not be

interpreted as regulatory approval of HARd as a methodology, it does demonstrate the process has

been applied in a commercial setting.

HYTN intends to offer HARd as a service to domestic and international counterparties seeking a

remediation solution developed within an EU-GMP-aligned quality framework. The Company notes

that HARd is best described as a proprietary process developed and validated within such a

framework and should not be interpreted as an independently certied system or as regulatory

approval of the methodology itself. The Company believes this service offering complements its

broader GMP processing and international market development activities, including activities in

Germany, the United Kingdom and Australia.

“We’ve built HARd to address a practical market need,” said Jason Broome, Chief Operating Ofcer

of HYTN. “We believe there is demand for a remediation service developed within a GMP

environment, supported by validation work, and designed to preserve the characteristics that

matter in premium dried cannabis ower programs, particularly for counterparties operating in

markets where non-irradiation pathways may be commercially important, including Germany.”

The Company expects HARd service engagements to be assessed on a program-by-program basis,

including technical t, quality requirements, commercial terms, and the applicable regulatory

framework for the intended market.

There can be no assurance that any particular third party engagement, regulatory pathway, export

opportunity, or commercial outcome will result from the launch of HARd as a service offering.
