Following Its First Acquisition as a Public Company, Autoentrada in Argentina, Ticketplus Outlines Its Growth Priorities

As CEO of NYSE-Listed CorpBanca, Mr. Massú Led the Approximately US$1.3 Billion Acquisition of Helm Bank in Colombia and Played a Leading Role in the Merger with Itaú

SANTIAGO, Chile, Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ticketplus Ltd. (“Ticketplus” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: TP), a technology company that operates a proprietary, full-stack platform for the live-entertainment industry in Latin America, today announced the engagement of Fernando Massú Taré, Chairman of Banco BTG Pactual Chile and former Chief Executive Officer of CorpBanca, as the Company’s Lead Strategic Advisor, LATAM Regional Strategy and Governance, and his role in the next phase of the Company’s regional expansion plan. Mr. Massú serves as a strategic advisor in his individual capacity and will work with the Company’s Chairman, Yethro Dinamarca, the Chief Executive Officer, Chien-Fu Chen, and the Board of Directors on the Company’s expansion roadmap, including market entry priorities, potential acquisitions and strategic partnerships, capital allocation and corporate governance.

The acquisition of Autoentrada S.A. converted a seven-year white-label partner into a wholly owned, full-service operation and brought the Ticketplus brand to Argentina. For additional details regarding the Autoentrada acquisition, see the Company’s report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on September 22, 2026. The Company believes this is an important step in executing its growth strategy: deepening its presence across the 11 countries where it currently operates, expanding into new white-label markets, and pursuing strategic partnerships to extend the reach of its platform.

“We recently announced our first acquisition as a public company, bringing the Ticketplus brand to Argentina and expanding our direct operating footprint. This acquisition is part of a broader strategy to deepen our presence in existing markets, enter new markets and scale our platform through partnerships and selective acquisitions,” said Yethro Dinamarca, Chairman of the Board of Ticketplus. “We believe a plan of this magnitude requires people who have done it before. Fernando brings a proven track record in cross-border expansion in financial services across Latin America. He knows what it takes to grow across countries with discipline and strong governance. He will work closely with Chien, our Board and me to build a roadmap for where we expand next and in what order. We also anticipate growing the team to support these efforts. We expect to execute our plan market by market and to give investors a clear way to measure our progress.”

A track record of cross-border expansion in Latin America

Mr. Massú has more than four decades of experience in Latin American financial services, including senior leadership roles spanning banking, investment banking and capital markets. He began his career at Citibank in Chile and spent more than 15 years at Banco Santander, where his roles included Chief Financial Officer of its banking operation in Portugal and head of Wholesale Banking in Chile.

As CEO of CorpBanca from 2012 to 2016, he completed the acquisition of Banco Santander Colombia in 2012 and led the acquisition of Helm Bank, with operations in Colombia and Panama, in 2013, an investment of approximately US$1.3 billion. Through those transactions, CorpBanca became the first Chilean bank to acquire a universal bank in Colombia, and as of December 31, 2015, CorpBanca Colombia was the country’s sixth-largest bank by total assets. He subsequently played a leading role in CorpBanca’s merger with Itaú Chile, which created the fourth-largest private bank in Chile.

During his tenure, CorpBanca was a foreign private issuer with American Depositary Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker BCA, giving Mr. Massú direct experience leading a company subject to SEC reporting and NYSE listing requirements.

Since 2016, he has served as Chairman of Banco BTG Pactual Chile. He is also a director of Parque Arauco, a shopping center operator with assets in Chile, Peru and Colombia, and of Empresas Hites. He previously served as Chairman of ENAP, Chile’s national oil company, and as an independent director of SQM, the NYSE-listed lithium producer. He holds a business degree from Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez and completed the Program for Management Development at Harvard Business School.

Growth priorities

Ticketplus’s growth plan centers on four priorities: transitioning proven white-label partnerships into wholly owned, full-service operations; entering new markets through its white-label SaaS model; continuing to enhance its payments, access control, data and analytics capabilities; and building strategic partnerships with content owners, promoters, venues and other related companies. The Company intends to pursue acquisitions selectively to support these priorities. Ticketplus intends to track progress through metrics that may include Total Platform Sales (GMV), events processed and active markets, among other measures.

FREDERICK, Md., Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.^® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global leader in disinfection and decontamination solutions, today announced Project MEND, a San Antonio-based nonprofit that refurbishes and redistributes used medical equipment to people with disabilities and limited financial resources, has implemented SteraMist iHP. The system has helped Project MEND’s team disinfect reusable durable medical equipment (DME), including wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds and mobility aids, before it is returned to service for a new recipient.

Every piece of equipment that comes through Project MEND has a previous owner, and many recipients are older adults, children or individuals with compromised health who depend on that equipment being fully clean before it enters their home. SteraMist meets that need by reaching the frames, wheels, upholstery and hard-to-access joints of mobility equipment without damaging vinyl, foam, electronics or metal components, a fit well suited to the wide range of equipment Project MEND handles daily.

“Every wheelchair, walker and hospital bed we redistribute has to meet the same standard of safety as new equipment. SteraMist iHP gives our team a faster, more thorough way to disinfect equipment before it reaches the families who need it,” said Dexter Moon, COO at Project MEND.

Project MEND introduced SteraMist to community members at the Houston Ability Expo earlier this year, where SteraMist disinfection was demonstrated alongside Project MEND’s inventory of refurbished wheelchairs and mobility devices.

“Project MEND has been an exceptional partner,” said Brittany Buchman, Vice President of Marketing at TOMI Environmental Solutions. “They’ve showcased SteraMist at multiple conferences this year, helping build awareness across their community. We are continuing that work together through additional initiatives, because every durable medical equipment (DME) provider should know how SteraMist can help them safeguard the people they serve.”

Founded in 1992 and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 1993, Project MEND, short for Medical Equipment Network for those with Disabilities, has spent more than three decades refurbishing and redistributing donated medical equipment across the San Antonio community. In 2024 alone, the organization served 2,683 clients and distributed 6,244 pieces of equipment, including wheelchairs, power chairs, walkers, hospital beds, Hoyer lifts, scooters, shower chairs, rollators, commodes, trapezes and tub transfer benches, while keeping an estimated 74 tons of scrap metal out of area landfills.

The same SteraMist iHP science used to disinfect operating rooms, cleanrooms and ambulances is now helping ensure that a second-hand wheelchair or hospital bed can be trusted as being as safe as the day it first left the factory.

Cost of services

During the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our Group’s cost of services was mainly comprised of staff costs, subcontracting fee, printing costs and other job-specific expenses. We incurred cost of services of US$1,285,288 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to US$1,109,926 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of US$175,362 or 15.8%. The increase was in line with the increase in revenue from financial printing services. The increase in subcontracting fee was resulted from the reduced reliance on the internal resources.

The Company paid subcontracting fee for (i) translation services handled by professional linguists who ensure accuracy and cultural relevance, (ii) ESG and internal control services support, and (iii) client relationship maintenance support.

Gross profit and gross profit margin

The total gross profit was US$835,774 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to US$632,059 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of US$203,715, or 32.2%. Our overall gross profit margins were 39.4% and 36.3% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Our total gross profit increased during the six months ended March 31, 2026, due to the increase in revenue from the financial printing services and advisory services which are generally with higher gross profit margins.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) mainly consist of administrative staff cost, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and right-of-use assets, property related expenses, legal and professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses. Our SG&A were US$1,555,814 and US$905,329 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, or 73.4% and 52.0% of our revenue for the corresponding period. The increase was mainly due to the increase in our staff costs, depreciation, legal and professional fees and advertising and marketing expenses.

Share-based compensation expense

Our share-based compensation expense was US$38,850,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to nil for the six months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of US$38,850,000. Share-based compensation expense increased during the six months ended March 31, 2026, due to the issuance of 2,500,000 ordinary shares to the staff of the Company pursuant to the equity incentive plan.

Other Expense, Net

The other expense were expense of US$14,358 and of US$31,682 for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

An decrease in other expense by US$17,324 or 54.7%, for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the corresponding six months ended March 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to the decrease of interest expense on lease liabilities of US$14,303.

Income Tax Expenses

The Company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Lore, were incorporated in the BVI. Pursuant to the current rules and regulations, the BVI currently levy no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains or appreciations and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. Therefore, the Company is not subject to any income tax in the BVI.

The indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, ANPA (HK), is subject to income tax within Hong Kong at the applicable tax rate on taxable income. Hong Kong profit tax rates are 8.25% on assessable profits up to HK$2,000,000 (US$255,135), and 16.5% on any part of assessable profits over HK$2,000,000 (US$255,135). For the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, our Group did not have any assessable profits in Hong Kong.

The Company had income tax benefit of US$121,176 for the six months ended March 31, 2026, compared to US$48,167 for the six months ended March 31, 2025, an increase of US$73,009, or 151.6%, mainly due to the increase in loss before taxation. Our effective tax rate was 16.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 16.5% for the six months ended March 31, 2025.

 Net loss

As a result of the foregoing, our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was US$39,463,222 and US$256,785, respectively.

Rani Kohen, Founder and Executive Chairman of SKYX Platforms, said: “Our collaboration on this premier development marks a historic milestone in our mission to establish SKYX Platforms as the new global standard for safe, intelligent infrastructure. For years, the international real estate market has treated smart home features as a fragmented collection of aftermarket gadgets. Through this partnership, we are proving that true digital living begins at the architectural level, anchored by foundational electrical safety. Our patented weight-bearing plug-and-play ceiling and wall receptacle systems are built to meet the most rigorous regulatory and building safety codes. By embedding our U.S.-certified innovations directly into the building’s infrastructure, we are mitigating traditional electrical and fire hazards while creating an open, adaptable gateway for thousands of units of next-generation smart technology, ceiling lighting, climate fixtures, and environmental automation. We view this project as an ideal international stage to demonstrate how unified, code-compliant technology can elevate high-end residential real estate. By standardizing SKYX technology across a property of this caliber, we are providing residents with total flexibility, absolute peace of mind, and a truly seamless lifestyle—ultimately shaping the blueprint for how premium connected communities will be built worldwide.”

SARASOTA, Fla. and FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif., Sept. 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (“TMTG”) (Nasdaq: “DJT”; NYSE Texas: “DJT”) and TAE Technologies, Inc. (“TAE”), an innovator in advanced technology across fusion energy, power management and cancer therapy, announced the filing today of a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the companies’ previously announced merger.

On December 18, 2025, TMTG and TAE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) providing for an all-stock business combination. Once completed, the combined company will be publicly traded, with TMTG shareholders and TAE stockholders each owning approximately 50% of the enterprise on a fully diluted basis.

The combination will pair TMTG’s balance sheet with TAE’s applied research and advantaged technologies, developed over nearly 30 years.

The combination is consistent with TMTG’s mission of diversifying into new, critically important sectors through transformative technology investments with the potential to create significant long-term value.

“With TAE, we see a differentiated, balanced risk profile with attractive growth opportunities,” said Kevin McGurn, Interim Chief Executive Officer of TMTG. “Today’s filing is a key step toward closing this merger and providing capital to fund TAE’s development of commercial fusion power.”

Michl Binderbauer, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of TAE Technologies, said “TMTG has been a strong supporter in our effort to commercialize our technologies. Over three decades, we’ve relentlessly pursued some of the most challenging scientific and engineering problems known to humankind, which has produced cutting-edge technology that we are commercializing today.”

The Registration Statement includes a preliminary proxy statement of TMTG, a prospectus of TMTG, and a consent solicitation statement of TAE. It has not yet become effective, and the securities to be issued in the Merger may not be sold, nor may offers to buy be accepted, prior to the time the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.
