Month: May 2025

From the Bible to the screen, a global story is now reaching global audiences, with Iyuno powering its multilingual expansion.

BURBANK, Calif., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Every language tells a story differently. For The Chosen, the goal was to share the biblical telling of the life of Jesus Christ in as many languages as possible. Not just translated, but expertly localized to feel personal, authentic, and resonate culturally, while maintaining Biblical accuracy.

That’s where Iyuno stepped in.

As a localization partner of The Chosen, Iyuno has brought the series to life in up to 56 dubbed and 66 subtitled languages, working closely with Come and See and a global network of theologians to ensure each version reflects the correct translations from the bible, while respecting the unique cultures and colloquial nuances of each audience.

“Our ultimate ambition is to deliver this project in as many languages as possible and Iyuno’s global footprint made them the perfect partner to support this goal,” said Rick Dempsey, Global Localization and Creative Advisor, Come and See. 

“The creative and technical results have been fantastic and have proven to resonate with the audiences that we’re reaching with this show as we continue our path to ultimately delivering The Chosen in 600 languages.”

Since 2023, Iyuno has supported four seasons of the biblical epic and two spin-off series, The Chosen Docuseries: Jonathan & Jesus and The Chosen in The Wild with Bear Grylls and is currently working to localize earlier seasons in additional languages based on growing audience demand.

In addition to dubbing and subtitling, Iyuno provides English audio description, localized promotional content, and digital cinema package (DCP) delivery for the series’ global theatrical events.

Of the 56 dubbed languages, 23 are produced in Iyuno’s owned-and-operated studios. In underserved, rare language markets, Iyuno has developed an AI assisted solution to create high-quality, authentic dubbed versions for these unique languages. This approach allows Iyuno to deliver meaningful, localized experiences in languages that have rarely been addressed at this level, granting access to stories like The Chosen for communities long overlooked by global content strategies.

Dr. Wendi Lord, Vice President of Content Localization , said, “Here at Come and See, we are leaning into emerging technologies that will allow us to deliver subtitles and audio to people groups who have not historically had access to stunning faith-based content in their own language. Iyuno is an impressive partner, helping us push the boundaries of what’s currently possible in this space.”

As the worldwide demand for localized content continues to grow, Iyuno remains focused on working with creators to deliver quality localization at scale, efficiently and with intention.

SEATTLE, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Weyerhaeuser Company (NYSE: WY) today announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly base cash dividend of $0.21 per share on the common stock of the company, payable in cash on June 13, 2025, to holders of record of such common stock as of the close of business on May 30, 2025.

Additionally, the board has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $1 billion of the company’s common shares. This replaces the recently completed $1 billion share repurchase program, which was authorized in September 2021. In the second quarter of 2025, the company executed the remainder of its prior authorization by repurchasing approximately $74 million of common shares. Repurchases under the new program may be made through a variety of methods, including but not limited to open market purchases, unsolicited or solicited privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or pursuant to 10b5-1 trading plans.

“We’ve completed nearly $100 million of opportunistic share repurchase year to date and are pleased to announce authorization of a new program going forward,” said Devin W. Stockfish, president and chief executive officer. “Since the beginning of 2021, and inclusive of the quarterly dividend announced today, we will have returned more than $5.7 billion of cash back to shareholders, including $1 billion of share repurchase. Looking ahead, we remain committed to returning meaningful and appropriate amounts of cash back to shareholders across market cycles. This new authorization provides ample flexibility for future share repurchase activity, and it represents an important ongoing lever for driving long-term shareholder value within our broader capital allocation framework.”

Under Weyerhaeuser’s cash return framework, the company expects to supplement its quarterly base cash dividend, as appropriate, with an additional return of variable cash to achieve a targeted total return to shareholders of 75 to 80 percent of annual Adjusted Funds Available for Distribution (Adjusted FAD). The company has the flexibility in its capital allocation framework to return this additional cash in the form of a supplemental cash dividend, opportunistic share repurchase, or a combination of the two.

Adjusted FAD, a non-GAAP measure, is defined by Weyerhaeuser as net cash from operations adjusted for capital expenditures and significant non-recurring items.

Weyerhaeuser Company, one of the world’s largest private owners of timberlands, began operations in 1900 and today owns or controls approximately 10.4 million acres of timberlands in the U.S., as well as additional public timberlands managed under long-term licenses in Canada.

TULSA, Okla., May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ONE Gas, Inc. (“ONE Gas”) (NYSE: OGS) announced today that it plans to make a public offering of 2,500,000 shares of its common stock. In connection with the offering, ONE Gas intends to enter into a forward sale agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, referred to in such capacity as the forward purchaser. In connection with the forward sale agreement, the forward purchaser or its affiliate, acting as forward seller, at ONE Gas’ request, expects to borrow from third parties and sell 2,500,000 shares of ONE Gas’ common stock to the underwriter in the offering in connection with the forward sale agreement described below.  As part of the offering, ONE Gas intends to grant to the underwriter an option to purchase up to 375,000 additional shares of ONE Gas’ common stock. If such option is exercised, ONE Gas may, in its sole discretion, enter into an additional forward sale agreement with the forward purchaser with respect to such additional shares, and ONE Gas currently expects that, if such option is exercised, it will do so.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as the sole underwriter for the offering and proposes to offer the shares of common stock from time to time for sale in one or more transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

Pursuant to the terms of the forward sale agreement, ONE Gas will agree to sell to the forward purchaser or its affiliate (subject to ONE Gas’ right to elect net share or cash settlement of the forward sale agreement) 2,500,000 shares of ONE Gas’ common stock (or 2,875,000 shares if the underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full and ONE Gas elects to enter into an additional forward sale agreement with respect to such exercise, as described above), at a price per share equal to the price at which the underwriter purchases the shares from the forward seller. Settlement of the forward sale agreement is expected to occur no later than December 31, 2026.

ONE Gas will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of its common stock by the forward seller or its affiliate, unless an event occurs that requires ONE Gas to sell its common stock to the underwriter in lieu of the forward seller borrowing and selling shares of ONE Gas’ common stock to the underwriter. Although ONE Gas expects to settle the forward sale agreement entirely by the full physical delivery of shares of its common stock in exchange for cash proceeds, ONE Gas may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of its obligations under the forward sale agreement. If ONE Gas elects to cash settle or net share settle the forward sale agreement, ONE Gas may not receive any proceeds from the issuance of shares, and ONE Gas will instead receive or pay cash (in the case of cash settlement) or receive or deliver shares of its common stock (in the case of net share settlement). ONE Gas intends to use any net proceeds received for general corporate purposes, which may include repayment or refinancing of debt, working capital, construction and acquisition expenditures and investments.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. The offering of these securities may be made only by means of a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus relating to this offering.

The public offering is being made pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A preliminary prospectus supplement related to the offering will be filed with the SEC and will be available on the SEC’s website. In addition, copies of the preliminary prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus relating to the shares of ONE GAS’ common stock being offered may be obtained by contacting: J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

ONE Gas is a 100% regulated natural gas utility, and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “OGS.” ONE Gas is included in the S&P MidCap 400 Index and is one of the largest natural gas utilities in the United States. 

Headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, ONE Gas provides a reliable and affordable energy choice to more than 2.3 million customers in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Its divisions include Kansas Gas Service, the largest natural gas distributor in Kansas; Oklahoma Natural Gas, the largest in Oklahoma; and Texas Gas Service, the third largest in Texas, in terms of customers.

• operational and mechanical hazards or interruptions;
• adverse labor relations;
• the effectiveness of our strategies to reduce earnings lag, revenue protection strategies and risk mitigation strategies, which may be affected by risks beyond our control such as commodity price volatility, counterparty performance or creditworthiness and interest rate risk;

• our ability to obtain capital on commercially reasonable terms, or on terms acceptable to us, or at all;
• limitations on our operating flexibility, earnings and cash flows due to restrictions in our financing arrangements;
• cross-default provisions in our borrowing arrangements, which may lead to our inability to satisfy all of our outstanding obligations in the event of a default on our part;
• changes in the financial markets during the periods covered by the forward-looking statements, particularly those affecting the availability of capital and our ability to refinance existing debt and fund investments and acquisitions to execute our business strategy;

• the effectiveness of our risk-management policies and procedures, and employees violating our risk-management policies;
• the uncertainty of estimates, including accruals and costs of environmental remediation;
• advances in technology, including technologies that increase efficiency or that improve electricity’s competitive position relative to natural gas;
• population growth rates and changes in the demographic patterns of the markets we serve in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, and economic conditions in these areas;
• acts of nature and naturally occurring disasters;
• political unrest and the potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism and war;
• the sufficiency of insurance coverage to cover losses;
• the effects of our strategies to reduce tax payments;
• changes in accounting standards;
• changes in corporate governance standards;
• existence of material weaknesses in our internal controls;

Industry’s most competitive summer immersion program for graduate students will place a record number of students at best-in-class funds

NEW YORK, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Impact Capital Managers (ICM), the leading association of private capital fund managers investing for superior returns and meaningful impact, is proud to announce the sixth cohort of the Mosaic Fellowship, its flagship talent and leadership development initiative that launches careers in impact investing and cultivates a skilled, diverse future workforce. This year, 26 outstanding graduate students will take roles as summer associates at 25 ICM member funds–the largest number of Fellows and host funds ever.

To kick off the Fellowship, ICM will convene students for an intensive two-day orientation in New York City that features panels and workshops with Mosaic alumni, GPs, LPs, and top academic instructors, followed by a capstone networking reception. As they commence their summer associate roles, Fellows are also paired with a uniquely matched mentor from ICM’s member network to provide additional support, guidance, and career connections throughout the Fellowship and beyond.

Over ten weeks, Fellows gain hands-on experience in impact investing, including sourcing, diligence, portfolio company support, and other core aspects of the field. They also take advantage of tailored networking opportunities to build their professional profile and community in the field.

Each year, a growing number of Fellows transition into full-time roles at leading impact funds, underscoring how the program not only develops emerging talent but also delivers lasting value to firms. To date, 41% of Mosaic alumni have accepted full-time roles at ICM member funds, with a further 29% taking their new skills into jobs in impact and sustainable finance at name-brand firms outside the ICM network.

These placement rates reflect Mosaics’ instrumental role in building a high-caliber talent pipeline of future impact investors and the brand strength of the program and network. ICM funds and other leading firms that have hired Mosaic alumni include Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Builders Vision, Closed Loop Partners, Apis & Heritage Partners, HCAP Partners, Clean Energy Ventures, TruStage Wealth, and SustainVC, among others.

“The Mosaic Fellowship is a catalytic force in advancing both talent diversity and mission alignment within impact investing,” said Ted Dillion, Chief Operating Officer at Clean Energy Ventures. “At CEV, we’ve witnessed how Mosaic Fellows bring intellectual rigor, fresh insight, and a deep commitment to our firm—so much so that we’ve hired a Mosaic Fellow into a full-time investment role and are entering our fourth year participating in the program. This program doesn’t just develop emerging leaders; it fortifies the connective tissue of the impact ecosystem.”

Since its launch, the Mosaic Fellowship has experienced rapid growth – from under 50 applicants in its inaugural year in 2019 to over 500 applicants in 2025. After this summer, over 100 Fellows will have graduated from the program. The growth of the program has been fueled in large part by word of mouth and the positive experiences of alumni.

“The Mosaic Fellowship was a game changer for my career,” said Fernando Carranza, former Mosaic Fellow and current Venture Investor at Cleveland Avenue, an ICM member fund. “Mosaic didn’t just open a door – it gave me the confidence and clarity to walk through it with purpose.” Carranza continues to give back to the program by serving as a mentor for incoming Fellows and sharing his career advice during orientation.

“In 2024, we saw an almost two-fold increase in applications to Mosaic, and 2025 will be the largest-ever cohort of Fellows since the start of the program six years ago,” said Marieke Spence, Executive Director at Impact Capital Managers. “Clearly, demand from the world’s brightest students for experiential learning programs like Mosaic is growing, and demand from top funds for that talent continues, even in the midst of market volatility. If you’re curious about what the future of investing looks like: watch this space, and follow this talent.”

About Impact Capital Managers: Impact Capital Managers is a network of private capital fund managers investing for superior financial returns and meaningful impact, with a mission to accelerate the performance of its members and to scale the private capital impact investing market with integrity and authenticity. Membership is by invitation only. Today, the network includes 140+ funds collectively representing more than $70 billion in impact-focused capital. ICM is a 501(c)6 organization with an affiliated 501(c)3, the ICM Institute. For more information, visit impactcapitalmanagers.com.
