Transaction is structured around a negotiated $0.0004 per-share BFCH reference value and is intended to establish a controlled public health, wellness, longevity and human-optimization platform

GREEN VALLEY, Ariz., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NEXT10, Inc. (OTC: NXTN) (“NEXT10” or the “Company”), through Torreon Group, Inc., today announced today announced that it has entered into a binding Letter of Intent with BitFrontier Capital Holdings, Inc. (OTCID: BFCH), a public company doing business as UNLOCKD, Inc., for a strategic transaction intended to expand NEXT10’s operating platform.

Under the LOI, the parties agreed to use $0.0004 per issued and outstanding BFCH common share as the negotiated reference value for structuring the transaction.

Subject to completion of the required closing conditions, NEXT10 is expected to contribute agreed operating businesses and assets to BFCH and ultimately acquire approximately 75% ownership of BFCH.

The $0.0004 figure is a negotiated transaction value only. It is not an independent appraisal or fairness opinion and should not be interpreted as a prediction of BFCH’s current or future trading price.

Expanding NEXT10’s Operating Platform

NEXT10 is pursuing a strategy centered on acquiring, developing and operating businesses and strategic assets across multiple sectors.

The contemplated transaction is designed to give NEXT10 a controlled public subsidiary focused on health, wellness, longevity and human optimization, while providing BFCH access to additional operating assets, management resources and acquisition capabilities.

“I have had a personal interest in regenerative medicine and the broader wellness industry for some time, and I have been evaluating wellness centers in Florida as potential acquisition opportunities,” said Garrett Reincke, President of NEXT10, Inc. “I believe regenerative medicine and advanced wellness services fit naturally within the broader health, longevity and human-optimization strategy BFCH is building. This transaction gives us a platform to evaluate those opportunities more seriously and, where the economics and operations make sense, potentially expand into that market.” 

Reincke continues, “NEXT10 is entering the sector amid continued growth in global consumer spending on wellness.

The United States represents the world’s largest wellness market, estimated at approximately $2.1 trillion in 2024.” 

Transaction Structure

The transaction is expected to occur in stages.

At the Initial Closing, NEXT10 is expected to contribute agreed operating businesses and assets to BFCH, acquire a noncontrolling equity interest and receive representation on the BFCH Board of Directors.

The specific businesses and assets to be contributed remain subject to final designation, due diligence and definitive transaction documentation.

BFCH will also continue working toward completion of its planned independent audit.

Following completion of the audit, due diligence, definitive documentation and other closing conditions, NEXT10 is contemplated to increase its ownership position to approximately 75% of BFCH.

The parties currently intend for BFCH to remain a separately traded public company following completion of the transaction.

Strategic Alignment

BFCH, doing business as UNLOCKD, has been developing a health and wellness portfolio that currently includes Ancient Extracts, EVERMIND and 1ENERGY.

Its broader strategy is focused on health, wellness, longevity and human optimization.

The proposed transaction is intended to combine that focused platform with NEXT10’s broader operating, acquisition and asset-development capabilities.

“This is an important next step in the strategy we have been building at BFCH,” said Dr. Jordan P. Balencic, Chairman and Chief Science Officer of BFCH. “Our goal is to build a larger operating company around health, wellness, longevity and human optimization. I expect the NEXT10 relationship to rapidly expand our core mission and is intended to give us additional assets, resources and capabilities to pursue that strategy at greater scale.”

Building a Broader Health and Wellness Business

BFCH’s strategy is focused on identifying businesses and assets that management believes may benefit from additional capital, stronger operations, product development, brand optimization and expanded distribution.

NEXT10 believes the relationship could broaden the range of opportunities available to BFCH across consumer products, wellness services, technology, testing, distribution and related businesses.

The transaction also aligns with NEXT10’s broader acquisition strategy of identifying operating businesses and assets where additional capitalization, operational discipline and active management may create opportunities for growth and increased enterprise value.

Highlights Strong Progress Against VISION 2027 Strategic Growth Plan

COSTA MESA, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ducommun Incorporated (NYSE: DCO) (“Ducommun” or the “Company”) hosted its first Investor Day event in nearly four years. Chairman, President, and CEO Stephen G. Oswald and his senior leadership team briefed attendees on the exciting progress that the Company has made against its five-year strategic growth plan, VISION 2027. Ducommun is on track to meet or exceed all three core metrics of the current plan despite pressures facing the aerospace and defense industry.

Having established a strong foundation for continued growth, Oswald unveiled VISION 2032, which aims to accelerate innovation and efficiencies in the American aerospace and defense supply chain.

“Ducommun has contributed to some of the most important technologies in aerospace and defense,” said Oswald. “With our strong position in defense, improvement in commercial aerospace, and expanding portfolio of proprietary engineered products, we are well positioned not just to drive substantial shareholder value through 2032, but to reinforce the strengths and resilience of American aerospace and defense.”

Coming out of the Covid pandemic, Ducommun set ambitious business targets for revenue growth and margin expansion in VISION 2027 (announced in December 2022). Performance against key metrics has been strong, with Ducommun delivering total shareholder return of 245% since the end of 2022.

Delivering on VISION 2027 Objectives
At Investor Day, Oswald highlighted significant progress toward its VISION 2027 goals, confirming that the Company remains on track to meet or exceed all three core financial targets set in 2022:

• Revenue: Reaching ~$950M+ by 2027.
• Profitability: Expanding Adjusted EBITDA margins to ~18%.
• Engineered Products Mix: Increasing higher-margin Engineered Products (EP) to ~25% of total revenue.

These achievements have significant real-world implications: strengthening frontline military technologies and supporting commercial aviation safety as a U.S.-based manufacturer.

Over the last four years, Ducommun’s market capitalization has increased from $605 million to $2.6 billion, while average daily traded value of the Company’s stock has increased from ~$2 million to $49 million during the same period. Through a series of strategic acquisitions in recent years, including companies specializing in magnetic seals, ammunition handling systems, lightning protection, thermoplastic extrusions and aerodynamic systems, Ducommun has been able to expand its portfolio of Engineered Products and Aftermarket content for customers.

Unveiling the VISION 2032 Growth Roadmap
Building on this solid foundation, Ducommun announced its VISION 2032 plan, which sets a combination of ambitious strategic catalysts and long-term financial goals to power the Company’s upward trajectory:

• M&A Strategy: Capitalizing on Equity Valuation Growth and Balance Sheet Strength, Ducommun is increasing its acquisition range by up to 3–5x, pursuing acquisition targets in the $300M to $500M range while continuing to pursue bolt-on acquisitions as well.
• Defense Franchise Expansion: The company projects a mid-teens compound annual growth rate (CAGR) through 2032 for its core missile and radar franchise.
• Commercial Aerospace Rebound: Ducommun is positioned to capture commercial aerospace volume recovery across major narrowbody platforms with minimal required capital expenditure.
• Proprietary Engineered Products: Continued organic investment in proprietary technologies will reinforce value pricing power and competitive differentiation.

Several analysts in attendance at Investor Day commented positively on Ducommun’s performance and long-term growth strategy. Analysts from Citi stated that Ducommun “surpassed both our and consensus expectations.” RBC highlighted the company’s “impressive set of 2032 targets.” Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, noted: “DCO has unique positions on growth verticals with A&D (missile, aero OE, aftermarket), multiple company-specific margin drivers, and an acquisition platform, all under the umbrella of company transformation . . . we are Buy rated on the stock.”

The full Investor Day presentation is available on Ducommun’s Investor Relations site.

Company Estimates Agreements at New Pricing Level Can Generate Approximately 85% Gross Margin, Supporting Scalable Growth Across Post-Acute Care Organizations

DETROIT, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Amesite Inc. (Nasdaq: AMST), an adaptive AI technology company and developer of the AI-native NurseMagic^® documentation platform and LynkMagic™ enterprise solutions, today announced a new sales win with its minimum enterprise pricing model, providing additional commercial validation for a model designed to serve post-acute care organizations across a broad range of operating sizes while supporting attractive unit economics and scalable revenue growth.

Under the new model, NurseMagic^® Enterprise is priced at $1,099 per month for organizations with patient census up to 1,000 under a 12-month contract. Amesite estimates annual agreements at this level provide approximately 85% gross margin, establishing meaningful contract value at smaller census levels while preserving greater revenue opportunity as deployment size increases.

The agreement builds on previously announced NurseMagic^® commercial milestones, including a 2.4x sequential quarterly revenue increase, 63% revenue growth from NurseMagic^® Enterprise and an approximately 2,700-patient census enterprise deployment, the Company’s largest announced deployment to date.

Amesite believes that the pricing model creates a repeatable commercial sale for smaller post-acute care organizations while allowing it to remain focused on larger multi-location and multi-state enterprises representing substantially greater census and revenue opportunities. Recent customer wins did not require customers to replace their existing EMRs or undertake a rip-and-replace technology implementation.

Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, Founder and CEO of Amesite, said, “We made a deliberate decision to set a minimum enterprise price that works for Amesite and still delivers tremendous value to customers. At $1,099 per month for organizations with up to 1,000 census, we can serve smaller operators at attractive margins without building our business around small contracts. At the same time, our census-based pricing gives us significantly greater revenue opportunity as we win larger organizations. We believe this model enables us to generate returns on our technology investments.”

Sai Nittala, Amesite’s Head of Artificial Intelligence, said, “We designed this pricing structure to create a repeatable commercial model for smaller post-acute care organizations while maintaining attractive unit economics. Establishing a clear minimum enterprise price has helped us streamline sales and advance scalable revenue growth.”

Kalie Wortinger, Amesite’s Head of Engineering, said “Our recent sales wins have not required customers to replace their existing EMRs. As we expand the number of EMR environments NurseMagic^® supports, we can serve a broader portion of the post-acute care market. That interoperability reduces deployment friction and supports our ability to scale across customer environments.”

About Amesite Inc.

Amesite (NASDAQ: AMST) is an AI-driven company with an immediate aim to transform the $1.5 trillion non-acute care segments. Its flagship product, NurseMagic^®, streamlines documentation for nurses and caregivers, reducing the time required from 20 minutes to just 20 seconds. NurseMagic^® is used by over 100 professions to improve care, enhance operational efficiency and improve financial performance. Built on proprietary AI trained on industry-specific data, NurseMagic^® meets HIPAA regulations while improving accuracy and efficiency. The platform serves B2B and B2C users across 50 states and 21 countries, offering seamless integration into healthcare workflows and translations to over 50 languages.

Extended drilling adds a new skarn horizon beneath the previously reported down-dip extension

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GoldHaven Resources Corp. (“GoldHaven” or the “Company”) (CSE: GOH) (OTCQB: GHVNF) (FSE: 4QS) is pleased to provide an update on ongoing diamond drilling at the Company’s 100%-owned Magno Project in the Cassiar District of northern British Columbia.

Further to the Company’s September 15, 2026, drilling update, GoldHaven reports that GOH26-04 has now been completed following an extension of the hole beyond its originally planned termination depth. Continued drilling intersected a newly identified skarn zone beneath the down-dip extension described in the September 15 release. The drill has since been moved to a new pad (Pad B) at the Kuhn target, where three of the holes have been completed and drilling of the fourth from Pad B is underway.

Highlights

• GOH26-04 has been completed after being extended beyond its originally planned termination depth.
• Continued drilling intersected a new skarn zone beneath the previously reported down-dip extension at Kuhn.
• Drilling encountered a series of stockwork skarn mineralization zones from approximately 235 to 325m (drill length), followed by more continuous skarn mineralization from 345 to 400m.
• The newly identified intervals total approximately 145 metres of drill length, with true thickness currently interpreted at approximately 40-45 metres.
• The drill has now moved to a new pad at Kuhn and commenced drilling, continuing the systematic testing of the skarn system.

GOH26-04 Extended Following Geological Review

GOH26-04 was designed to test the down-dip continuation of the historically identified skarn system at Kuhn. Following review of the drill core by GoldHaven’s geological team, observations within the hole were considered sufficiently encouraging to warrant continuing drilling beyond the originally planned termination depth.

The decision resulted in the intersection of an additional skarn zone beneath the down-dip extension previously identified in GOH26-04.

Figure 1: Drill core from GOH26-04 at approximately 164–166m depth, showing skarn with locally semi-massive sulphide mineralization. The Company is continuing to log, sample and submit core for laboratory analysis.

The newly identified skarn intervals total approximately 145 metres of drill length. Based on the Company’s current geological interpretation, true thickness is estimated at approximately 40–45 metres, assuming the newly identified lower zone dips at a similar angle to the overlying stratigraphy and skarn units. This interpretation is preliminary and may be refined as additional geological and drilling information becomes available.

The skarn intervals display several mineralization styles, including magnetite skarn, garnet skarn, diopside skarn, and zones of semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization. The skarnified intervals are hosted within a sequence of limestone, marble and dolomite.

The Company is continuing to log, photograph and sample the drill core, with samples being submitted for laboratory analysis. The September 15 release noted that core from the Kuhn program was being logged and sampled, with assays to be released once received, reviewed and verified.

Figure 2: 2026 diamond drilling from Pad B at the Kuhn target, Magno Project.

Expanding the Geological Picture at Kuhn

The ongoing drill program is designed to improve GoldHaven’s understanding of the geometry, thickness and continuity of the skarn system through a series of modern drill sections across the Kuhn target.

The additional skarn encountered in GOH26-04 provides another important geological data point as the Company evaluates the development of the system beyond areas tested by historical drilling.

GoldHaven’s 2026 program represents the Company’s first modern, systematic drill campaign at Magno, with drilling initially focused on Kuhn before evaluating additional priority targets across the broader property.

CEO Comment

GoldHaven President and CEO Rob Birmingham commented:

“The decision to continue GOH26-04 was driven directly by what our geological team was seeing in the core, and that decision has now resulted in the intersection of an additional skarn zone beneath the down-dip extension we reported last week.

“We are encouraged to continue seeing skarn development as we test the Kuhn system at depth. While assays will ultimately determine the significance of these intervals, each hole is materially improving our understanding of the geometry and scale of the system and helping us refine where we drill next.”

Ongoing Drill Program

With GOH26-04 now complete, the drill has been moved to a new pad (Pad B) at the Kuhn target where three of the four planned drill holes have been completed.

Integration of observations from the latest drill holes, notably GOH26-04, historical geological information and modern geophysical data to refine subsequent drill targeting remains ongoing.

Further updates will be provided as drilling advances and laboratory results are received, reviewed and verified.
