ConnectM

Forms Strategic Advisory Board to Drive AI Energy Infrastructure Growth; Appoints Ashland

Director Ashish Kulkarni, Former Fortress and Shumway Capital Executive Neil Bhatia, and Las Olas Capital CEO Jim McCabe

Advisory Board

to focus on data center power, cooling and storage opportunities, institutional investor positioning, strategic partnerships, and profitability

and capital allocation

MARLBOROUGH, Mass., October 19, 2026

(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc. (OTCQX: CNTM) (“ConnectM” or the “Company”), a

U.S.-based technology company that develops, sells and operates energy infrastructure powering the physical layer of the AI economy,

today announced the formation of a Strategic Advisory Board and the appointment of three members: Ashish Kulkarni, a director of Ashland

Inc. (NYSE: ASH) and former Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer of GAF; Neil Bhatia, a former senior executive of Fortress

Investment Group, Shumway Capital Partners and Marcato Capital Management; and Jim McCabe, founder and Chief Executive Officer of Las

Olas Capital.

The advisors will work directly with

ConnectM's management on the Company's top priority: building an AI energy infrastructure business that supplies power, cooling, storage

and intelligent energy management to data centers and the grid edge, and converting that growth into a more profitable company with a

broader base of long-term institutional shareholders.

The appointments come as demand for

power at the edge of the grid accelerates. The International Energy Agency projects that electricity consumption from data centers will

more than double, from approximately 415 terawatt-hours in 2024 to approximately 945 terawatt-hours in 20301, and new generation

and transmission cannot be built fast enough to keep pace. ConnectM's Keen Labs platform designs, sources and distributes the distributed

energy equipment, AI-enabled controls and virtual power plant software that address that gap, including Hi-C hybrid energy storage systems

for data-center generator starting and power transition.

The Strategic Advisory Board will focus

on four key priorities:

· Build

the AI energy infrastructure business: identify customers and partners in data-center power,

cooling, storage and intelligent energy management.

· Strengthen

institutional positioning: improve the investment narrative and build relationships with long-term

institutional investors.

· Develop

strategic partnerships: pursue relationships with equipment manufacturers, defense contractors,

utilities and large enterprise customers.

· Improve

profitability and capital allocation: advise management on business-unit returns, recurring

revenue, operating cash flow and selective acquisitions and divestitures.

Strategic Advisory Board Appointments

Ashish Kulkarni – Global Technology,

Innovation and Corporate Strategy

Dr. Kulkarni is a global technology

executive and board director who has led technology and innovation strategy at major industrial and materials companies. He serves on

the Board of Directors of Ashland Inc. (NYSE: ASH) and previously served on the Board of Directors of Ghost Robotics. His executive roles

include Chief Executive Officer of Kebotix, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer of GAF, Chief Technology and Innovation

Officer of Avantor and of Celanese, and Vice President of Engineering at Carrier Air Conditioning. Earlier in his career he held engineering

and technology leadership roles at General Electric and American Standard.

He brings expertise in AI and digital

transformation, technology commercialization, portfolio transformation, strategic partnerships and M&A, and has advised boards, chief

executives and private equity firms on technology disruption and growth. He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Chemical Engineering from Rensselaer

Polytechnic Institute.

Neil Bhatia – Institutional

Investment Strategy and Capital Markets

Mr. Bhatia is a business strategist

and private and public market investor who spent nearly two decades in senior leadership roles at leading hedge funds and multi-billion-dollar

family offices. He is the founder of Catalyst Advisors, a boutique management consulting firm he established in 2019.

Before founding Catalyst, Mr. Bhatia

served as counsel to Fortress Investment Group's Global Macro Fund, as General Counsel of Shumway Capital Partners and Chief Operating

Officer of investor Chris Shumway’s family office, as Chief Legal Officer of Marcato Capital Management, and most recently as Chief

Operating Officer of investor John Thaler’s (JAT Capital) family office. He began his career as a corporate attorney with Mintz

Levin. His experience spans institutional investment strategy, corporate governance, financial structuring and the operation of multi-billion-dollar

investment firms, and he is expected to guide ConnectM as it builds relationships with long-term institutional investors. He holds a

B.S. in Economics from Lehigh University and received a J.D. from Boston College Law School.

Jim McCabe – Strategic Capital

Formation and Corporate Development

Mr. McCabe is the founder and Chief

Executive Officer of Las Olas Capital, a multi-strategy private investment firm that provides capital to early-stage, high-growth companies

with innovative technology. He has nearly 20 years of experience in financial services and private market investing.

Mr. McCabe also serves as an advisory

board member to several Las Olas portfolio companies, including Digi Power X (Nasdaq: DGXX), a developer of power-ready data centers

for AI and high-performance computing, US Data Centers, and American Bridge Capital. He was an early investor in U.S. Bitcoin Corp which

completed a merger with Hut 8 Corp (Ticker: Hut) in November of 2023. This transaction was the largest M&A deal in bitcoin mining

history at that time.

He holds a B.A. in Economics from the

University of Florida.

Bhaskar Panigrahi, Chairman and Chief

Executive Officer, commented, “Ashish, Neil and Jim each bring something ConnectM needs at this stage. Ashish has run technology

and innovation for large industrial companies and sits on a public company board. Neil spent his career inside the kinds of institutions

we want as long-term shareholders. Jim invests in AI data center infrastructure and sits on the advisory board of a Nasdaq-listed company

building it. Demand for power at the edge of the grid is being driven by AI data centers, and we intend to be one of the companies that

supplies it. We formed this board to turn that opportunity into customers, partners and capital, and we expect to be measured on those

outcomes.”

“Each member has agreed to work

on specific objectives tied to the four priorities above, and we will report on progress as it is made.”

Jim McCabe added, “I have

spent the last several years investing in the build-out of AI computing capacity, and have seen firsthand that power is the biggest

constraint right now. ConnectM already distributes the storage, controls and software that address that constraint at the edge of

the power grid. I believe the value of existing infrastructure with secured electricity will only become more valuable and I look

forward to helping the Company turn that position into contracts and into a shareholder base that reflects it.”
