Month: September 2026

Bogota, Colombia, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GeoPark Limited (NYSE: GPRK) (the “Company”) today announced that it has received the requisite consents in connection with its previously announced solicitation of consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from holders of its 8.750% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Notes”). The Consent Solicitation was made pursuant to a Consent Solicitation Statement, dated September 15, 2026 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”). The proposed amendment (the “Proposed Amendment”) to the indenture (the “Indenture”) governing the Notes is to amend the definition of “Permitted Holders” in the Indenture to include Jaime Gilinski Bacal and his Immediate Family Members (as defined in the Indenture) or the former spouses (including widows and widowers), heirs or lineal descendants of any of the foregoing and any Affiliate of any of the foregoing. Jaime Gilinski Bacal is affiliated with Grupo Gilinski, which through affiliated entities has through a number of transactions recently purchased approximately 28% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. GeoPark’s recently announced proposed major strategic entry into Venezuela through the Bare field, a large-scale producing heavy oil asset located in the Orinoco Heavy Oil Belt, was led by Grupo Gilinski. GeoPark is acquiring Grupo Gilinski’s 95% interest in the holding company through which the Bare opportunity is held in exchange for newly issued common shares. The proposed transaction has not yet closed and remains subject to certain conditions. Upon completion of the share issuance, Grupo Gilinski is expected to hold approximately 56.3% of GeoPark’s issued and outstanding common shares. Pursuant to the Indenture, a “Change of Control” will generally not be triggered by the consummation of a transaction the result of which is that a Permitted Holder becomes the beneficial owner of more than 50% of the outstanding shares. Pursuant to the Indenture, if a Change of Control occurs, the Company is required to make an Offer to Purchase (as defined in the Indenture) for all of the outstanding Notes.

The Company has been advised that it has received consents from holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (not including Notes held by the Company or any of its affiliates) (the “Requisite Consents”). In connection with the receipt of the Requisite Consents, the Company expects to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture to effect the Proposed Amendment with respect to the Notes on September 29, 2026. The Company will make a cash payment equal to $2.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the “Consent Fee”) to holders of the Notes on the applicable record date that delivered their consents prior to September 23, 2026 at 5:00 p.m., New York City time (the “Expiration Time”) and did not revoke such consents. The Company expects to pay the Consent Fee on September 29, 2026. No Consent Fee will be paid to any holder of the Notes unless such holder delivered (and did not revoke) a consent in accordance with the terms of the Consent Solicitation Statement prior to the Expiration Time. The supplemental indenture will become effective upon its execution and delivery by the Company and the trustee but will provide that the Proposed Amendment will not become operative until the Company has paid the Consent Fee in full.

Banco BTG Pactual S.A. – Cayman Branch acted as solicitation agent for the Consent Solicitation and D.F. King & Co., Inc. acted as the information agent, tabulation agent and paying agent for the Consent Solicitation.

Neither the Consent Solicitation nor any related documents have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, nor have any such documents been filed with or reviewed by any federal or state securities commission or regulatory authority of any country. No authority has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Consent Solicitation Statement or any related documents, and it is unlawful and may be a criminal offense to make any representation to the contrary.

The Consent Solicitation was made solely on the terms and conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement. Under no circumstances shall this press release constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell the Notes or any other securities of the Company or any of its affiliates. The Consent Solicitation has not been made to, nor has the Company accepted deliveries of consents from, holders in any jurisdiction in which the Consent Solicitation or the acceptance thereof would not have been in compliance with the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdiction. This press release is also not a solicitation of consents to effect the Proposed Amendment.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AtlasClear Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: ATCH) (“AtlasClear” or the “Company”), a company building regulated financial infrastructure for smaller institutions, fintechs and advisors, today announced financial results for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. Results include those of the Company’s wholly owned correspondent clearing subsidiary, AtlasClearing, Inc. (formerly Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc.) (“AtlasClearing”).

Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Highlights:
(Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026)

• Total revenue increased 85% to $20.1 million, compared to $10.9 million in fiscal 2025.
• Total revenue plus interest income, a non-GAAP measure, increased approximately 70% to $21.9 million, compared to approximately $12.9 million in fiscal 2025. A reconciliation to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included below.
• Commission revenue increased 56% to $9.3 million, compared to $5.9 million. Stock locate revenue grew to $6.8 million from approximately $0.3 million and represented approximately 34% of total revenue.
• Sources other than commissions accounted for approximately 54% of total revenue, compared to approximately 45% in fiscal 2025.
• Loss from operations was $9.8 million, compared to $4.9 million in fiscal 2025, as higher activity drove increased variable compensation, data processing, clearing and stock locate costs. The year also included $3.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation related to executive employment agreements entered into in September 2025.
• Net income was $2.0 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, the Company’s second consecutive year of positive GAAP net income, compared to net income of $5.8 million, or $0.96 per share, in fiscal 2025. Fiscal 2026 net income includes substantial non-cash fair-value gains related to warrant, earnout and other derivative liabilities, most notably an $11.1 million gain on the earnout liability.
• Cash and cash equivalents totaled $15.4 million, more than double the $7.5 million reported at June 30, 2025.
• Stockholders’ equity improved to $21.1 million from a deficit of $(6.8) million at June 30, 2025. Total assets increased to $71.2 million from $60.9 million, and total liabilities declined approximately $17.6 million to approximately $50.1 million.
• AtlasClearing’s net capital increased 29% to $14.4 million, approximately $14.1 million above its minimum requirement and well above the $10 million excess net capital threshold that the National Securities Clearing Corporation (NSCC) requires of firms that clear for introducing brokers.
• The Company signed clearing agreements with six new correspondent broker-dealers. Fiscal 2026 results include no meaningful revenue from these relationships.
• The Company did not use an at-the-market program or equity line during fiscal 2026.
• Management concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern had been alleviated, and that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2026 following remediation of the previously reported material weakness.

Management Commentary:

“Fiscal 2026 was a breakout year for AtlasClear,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear. “Revenue increased 85%, more than half of it now comes from sources other than commissions, and we achieved that growth without an at-the-market program or an equity line. We reported positive GAAP net income for the second consecutive year, and we want investors to have a clear view of both the reported results and the operating investments behind them: the GAAP result includes substantial non-cash fair-value gains, while at the operating level we invested in a business that is scaling quickly. We believe the platform we have been building is beginning to deliver meaningful scale.”

“Fiscal 2026 was a year of strong execution at AtlasClearing,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear. “Commissions grew 56%, stock locate went from approximately $0.3 million to $6.8 million, and net capital finished the year up 29%. We have signed six new correspondent broker-dealers, and none of their revenue is meaningfully reflected in these results. As they come online, the customer assets and trading activity they bring should help us scale our stock loan business and create additional sources of interest income, and we expect to support that growth with the platform and team already in place, with only incremental additional expense.”

Operational and Strategic Highlights:

• Correspondent clearing: AtlasClearing has signed clearing agreements with six new correspondent broker-dealers, the sixth of which was executed in September 2026, following fiscal year-end. These firms are in various stages of onboarding and conversion, and the Company expects them to begin contributing to results as they come online during fiscal 2027.
• Stock loan and interest income: The customer assets and trading activity brought by these correspondents are expected to help scale the Company’s stock loan business and create additional sources of interest income, including income from margin balances, customer cash and securities lending.
• Bank acquisition: The Company remains committed to its planned acquisition of Commercial Bancorp of Wyoming, the parent company of Farmers State Bank. As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, the parties withdrew the pending regulatory applications and expect to refile them at an appropriate time. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions. The Company continues to view the combination of the bank and AtlasClearing as a cornerstone of its strategy to build an integrated trading, clearing, settlement and banking platform.
• Additional strategic opportunities: The Company is evaluating further strategic opportunities, including Ark Financial Services, Inc., the holding company of Dawson James Securities, Inc., and the previously announced acquisition of an institutional digital asset business. Both remain subject to non-binding letters of intent, due diligence, board approvals, definitive agreements and other closing conditions.

Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results:

Revenue. Total revenue for fiscal 2026 was $20.1 million, an increase of 85% from $10.9 million in fiscal 2025. Commission revenue increased 56% to $9.3 million from $5.9 million, and stock locate fees increased to $6.8 million from $0.3 million. Clearing fees were $2.1 million, compared with $3.2 million, and vetting fees were $1.4 million, broadly consistent with $1.5 million a year ago. Net gains on firm trading accounts increased to $0.5 million from less than $0.1 million, and other revenue was $65,000.

Expenses and operating results. Total expenses were $29.8 million, compared with $15.8 million in fiscal 2025. Compensation, payroll taxes and benefits increased 91% to $11.7 million from $6.2 million, primarily because of higher variable compensation associated with revenue growth. Separately, the Company recorded $3.6 million of non-cash stock-based compensation related to executive employment agreements entered into in September 2025, with no comparable expense in fiscal 2025. Data processing and clearing costs increased 98% to $4.2 million from $2.1 million, generally in line with the higher level of activity. The Company also recorded $0.8 million of stock locate expense and $0.7 million of Loanet expense, both new cost categories associated with the growth of the stock locate business. Regulatory, professional and related expenses increased 17% to $4.9 million from $4.1 million, primarily reflecting professional fees related to the Commercial Bancorp negotiations and additional consulting support. Loss from operations was $9.8 million, compared with $4.9 million in fiscal 2025.

Other income and net income. Total other income was $11.5 million, compared with $10.4 million a year ago. The principal items included non-cash gains of $11.1 million from the change in fair value of the earnout liability, $1.8 million related to the Winston & Strawn agreement, $1.7 million from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, and $0.4 million from the change in fair value of the convertible-note derivative, partially offset by $5.1 million of interest expense and a $570,000 loss on settlement of the Winston & Strawn agreement. Income before taxes was $1.7 million. After a tax benefit of $0.3 million, net income was $2.0 million, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, based on weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 125.0 million. This compares with net income of $5.8 million, or $0.96 per share, in fiscal 2025, which included a $12.4 million non-cash gain from changes in the fair value of long-term and short-term note derivatives.

Balance sheet, liquidity and cash flow. The Company ended fiscal 2026 with cash and cash equivalents of $15.4 million, compared with $7.5 million a year earlier. Total assets increased to $71.2 million from $60.9 million, stockholders’ equity improved to $21.1 million from a deficit of $(6.8) million, and total liabilities declined by approximately $17.6 million. Shares outstanding were approximately 150.3 million at fiscal year-end. Cash used in operating activities was $6.2 million, compared with cash provided by operating activities of $0.8 million in fiscal 2025, reflecting growth in operating assets as the business expanded and the non-cash nature of a substantial portion of fiscal 2026 net income. Cash used in investing activities was $65,000, representing a payment related to the extension of the Commercial Bancorp acquisition agreement. Cash provided by financing activities was $16.5 million, compared with $1.6 million in fiscal 2025, driven primarily by financing transactions completed during the year and partially offset by transaction costs, repayments and a $1.0 million cash payment related to the Winston & Strawn settlement. The Company sold no shares under its equity line facility during fiscal 2026 and has not conducted an at-the-market offering or other dilutive capital raise since its October 2025 institutional unit financing.

AtlasClearing’s $10 million revolving line of credit with BMO Harris Bank remained undrawn throughout the year, and the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants as of June 30, 2026. Based on the capital raised and management’s operating cash-flow forecasts, management concluded that substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern had been alleviated. Management also concluded that disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting were effective as of June 30, 2026, following remediation of the previously reported material weakness.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure:
Total revenue plus interest income is a supplemental measure that is not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). It is the sum of total revenue and interest income, each as reported in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, and is presented because interest earned on balances held by the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiary is an integral part of its operating economics. Interest income is presented in other income under GAAP. This measure should not be considered a substitute for total revenue determined in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation: Fiscal 2026 GAAP total revenue of $20.1 million plus interest income of $1.8 million equals total revenue plus interest income of $21.9 million. Fiscal 2025 GAAP total revenue of $10.9 million plus interest income of $2.0 million equals total revenue plus interest income of $12.9 million.

Two industry leaders formalize strategic relationship spanning the full tungsten value chain

Investment includes a 4.99% ownership stake and multi-year supply agreements across key production stages

Further advances the objectives of the United States Government’s $450 million committed investment announced September 14, 2026

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Elmet Group Co. (NASDAQ: ELMT) (“ELMT” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based provider of critical materials, precision-engineered components, and advanced high-energy systems, today announced a long-term strategic relationship with Vietnam-based Masan High-Tech Materials Corporation (UPCoM: MSR) (“MSR”) under which ELMT will acquire a 4.99% equity stake in MSR for $124.75 million. The acquisition formalizes a longstanding commercial relationship of more than 12 years, during which MSR has distinguished itself as a reliable supplier of high-quality tungsten materials and a valued strategic partner to ELMT.

Alongside the equity investment, the parties have entered into long-term commercial agreements under which MSR has agreed to supply ELMT with mined tungsten from its Nui Phao Mine and provide tungsten conversion services from its refining complex in Vietnam. The acquisition of an ownership stake and the commercial agreements establish a basis for ELMT and MSR to pursue increased refining throughput, new product development, and a broader international customer base.

“We value the opportunity to formalize our relationship with MSR, which furthers our progress toward a resilient tungsten supply chain,” said The Elmet Group CEO and Chairman Peter V. Anania. “During the 12 years we have worked alongside MSR, it has established itself as a proven tungsten producer with global significance. The Elmet Group is investing in the expansion of supply, refinement, and conversion of tungsten through this acquisition, building on the landmark investment we received from the United States Government to solidify our position as a vertically integrated, U.S.-based provider of critical materials.”

The technologies defining this century, including artificial intelligence, semiconductors and aerospace, cannot exist without tungsten,” said Chairman of Masan-High Tech Materials Danny Le. “The world can count on one hand the places that produce and refine it at scale. MSR is one of them. The Elmet Group has spent twelve years inside our supply chain. They know what we have built and what it would take to build again. That is what trust looks like when it converts into capital. Their investment speaks for itself. This is the beginning, and we will unlock MSR’s full value for shareholders in Vietnam and beyond.”

Robust and Complementary Capabilities

Together, the two companies connect the supply chain from ore to finished part: mining and concentration, chemical conversion, powder production, pressing and sintering, forming, and precision machining. MSR sits upstream, operating the Nui Phao Mine — one of the largest tungsten deposits in the world — alongside an integrated refining complex that converts concentrate into high-purity tungsten chemicals. ELMT sits downstream, transforming the materials processed by MSR into precision-engineered components for aerospace, defense, semiconductor, medical, industrial, and energy customers. Few relationships in the tungsten industry span such a broad range, and even fewer are reinforced by an equity relationship.

For ELMT, this formalized relationship is intended to secure long-term access to mined tungsten and conversion capacity at scale. For MSR, it is intended to secure a committed downstream industrial partner, additional third-party feedstock for its refinery, and a strategic shareholder with deep manufacturing expertise and access to diverse end markets.

These announcements follow the landmark investment ELMT received from the United States Government, announced on September 14, 2026. Each of these developments advance ELMT’s aim to become a robust provider of critical materials with capabilities and access throughout the full tungsten supply chain across key geographies around the world.

Completion of the equity investment is subject to customary closing conditions, including required regulatory and corporate approvals, and is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026. The commercial agreements take effect upon completion. In connection with its new ownership position, ELMT will also receive one seat on MSR’s Board of Directors and support MSR’s planned uplisting to the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange, as well as its evaluation of an international listing.
