CAPE

CANAVERAL, Fla. — October 29, 2026 — Sidus Space, Inc. (NASDAQ: SIDU) (“Sidus” or the “Company”),

a vertically integrated space and defense technology company, today announced the appointment of Hassan R. Baqar to its Board of Directors,

effective October 28, 2026. Mr. Baqar will serve on the Board’s Audit Committee, bringing his public company CFO and accounting

experience to the oversight of the Company’s financial reporting and internal controls.

“Hassan

has spent his career on the issuer’s side of public company finance, both as a CFO responsible for reporting and as a director

overseeing it,” said Carol Craig, Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Sidus Space. “We believe his experience,

together with Larry Swets’ leadership as Audit Committee Chair, gives the Board strong financial oversight as the Company grows.”

and capital markets. He has served as chief financial officer, officer, or director of public and private companies in the United States,

He has also served as chief financial officer or director of nine special purpose acquisition companies, including consummation of business

combinations with OppFi, Hagerty, Limbach Holdings, Saltire Capital, Boxabl and Greenland Energy.

“The

Audit Committee’s job is to make sure investors can rely on what the Company reports, and that the controls behind those numbers

keep pace as the business grows,” said Mr. Baqar. “I look forward to working with Larry, Carol, and the rest of the Board

to support that work.”

Mr.

Baqar currently serves as Founder and Managing Member of Sequoia Financial LLC, Chief Executive Officer of B-SCADA Inc., Chief Financial

Officer of FG Imperii Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: FGII), Director of Greenland Energy Company (NASDAQ: GLND), and Director of Capital

Markets at Saltire Capital Ltd. (TSX: SLT). He previously served as Chief Financial Officer of Saltire Capital from 2024 to 2025, FG

Financial Group (now FG Communities Holdings Inc.) from 2021 to 2024, and United Insurance Holdings Corp. from 2011 to 2012, and as Vice

President, Finance at Kingsway Financial Services Inc. from 2010 to 2019.

Mr.

Baqar began his career at Lumbermens Mutual Casualty Company (Kemper Insurance). He holds a Certified Public Accountant certification

and holds an MBA from Northeastern Illinois University and a B.A. in Accounting and Business Administration from Monmouth College.
