Borealis-developed high-protein noodles launched under Foodvibez’s Niom Niom brand, with an expected initial volume of approximately 10 million units annually, available through major German retailers including EDEKA and REWE

NEW YORK, Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Borealis Foods Inc. (Nasdaq: BRLS) (“Borealis” or the “Company”), an integrated food science and manufacturing company, today announced the expansion of its international business through the launch of high-protein noodles under the Niom Niom brand in Germany. Niom Niom is a German creator-led brand developed by Foodvibez GmbH. Through its wholly owned CPG company, Palmetto Gourmet Foods, Borealis is manufacturing the high-protein Niom Niom by Chef Woo noodles for distribution and sale in the German market.

The expected initial volume is approximately 10 million units annually, based on the current product and shipment mix. The Company expects volumes to increase over time as Foodvibez expands its retail distribution and consumer reach in Germany.

Manufactured at Borealis Foods’ production facility in Saluda, South Carolina for the German market, the Niom Niom products combine Foodvibez consumer brand and creator-driven platform with Borealis’ high-protein noodle technology, food science and large-scale manufacturing capabilities. The products are currently available through major German supermarket retailers including EDEKA and REWE.

“This launch demonstrates the value of the food science, product development and manufacturing platform we have built at Borealis Foods,” said Reza Soltanzadeh, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Borealis Foods. “Foodvibez has created a distinctive consumer brand for the German market with Niom Niom, and we are providing the high-protein noodle platform and large-scale manufacturing capabilities behind the product. An expected initial volume of approximately 10 million units annually gives us a meaningful foundation from which we believe this business can continue to expand.”

The Niom Niom brand was developed by Foodvibez together with German content creators Rezo, Dilara and Mexify, who collectively reach more than 30 million followers across major social media platforms, according to Foodvibez. The brand is positioned as a next-generation convenience-food brand focused on high-protein instant noodles. Niom Niom varieties made with Chef Woo® high-protein noodles deliver 20 grams of protein per cup.

“Chef Woo began as a consumer brand, but what we have built extends well beyond the brand itself,” Soltanzadeh continued. “Our food science and product development capabilities allow us to create differentiated products for other brands and markets, while our manufacturing platform gives us the ability to produce those products at scale. The launch of Niom Niom by Chef Woo in Germany is an important example of how we can use that platform to increase manufacturing volume, enter new international markets and participate in the growth of innovative consumer brands.”

This latest launch reflects Borealis Foods’ broader strategy of leveraging its food science, product development and manufacturing capabilities not only across its own branded portfolio, but also for partner brands and other food companies seeking differentiated nutrition, formulation and large-scale production. The Company believes that international product-development and manufacturing opportunities can provide an additional avenue for increasing production volume and manufacturing utilization while extending Borealis Foods’ food science platform into new products, brands and geographic markets.

Previously disclosed non-binding LOIs contemplate approximately $240 million in aggregate implied property value across two South Florida multifamily properties totaling approximately 544 units

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Stewards, Inc. (Nasdaq: SWRD) (“Stewards” or the “Company”), a diversified financial platform spanning private credit, real assets and technology, today provided an update regarding its previously disclosed non-binding letters of intent (“LOIs”) for the proposed acquisitions of PIXL at Plantation and Envy Pompano Beach, two South Florida multifamily properties comprising approximately 330 and 214 units, respectively. The Company previously disclosed the LOIs in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2026.

Under the terms contemplated by the LOI, Stewards would acquire the existing owners’ equity interests in the entities that own the properties through the issuance of restricted shares of Stewards common stock at an agreed issuance price of $3.00 per share. The $240 million figure represents the aggregate implied property value of PIXL and Envy, inclusive of property-level debt, and does not represent the amount of stock consideration to be issued in the proposed acquisitions.

Since the Company’s prior disclosure, Stewards has continued to advance due diligence and discussions regarding the proposed acquisitions. The Company believes PIXL and Envy would significantly expand its Real Assets platform and South Florida portfolio and are consistent with its broader strategy to build a diversified financial platform across private credit, real assets and technology.

“This is an important next step in the execution of our broader Stewards strategy,” said Shaun Quin, Chief Executive Officer of Stewards, Inc. “PIXL and Envy would meaningfully expand our Real Assets platform while supporting the diversification and scale we are building across Stewards. Our strategy is to grow an integrated platform across private credit, real assets and technology, and we believe transactions like these can provide the scale and asset base to support continued investment in our technology capabilities and long-term growth.”

Expanding the Stewards Real Assets Platform

PIXL at Plantation, located in Plantation, Florida, is a newly developed luxury multifamily community offering studio, one-bedroom loft and two-bedroom residences, with an extensive amenity package including resort-style pools, a fitness center and spa, business and co-working spaces, outdoor entertainment areas and landscaped recreational spaces. The property comprises approximately 330 units.

Envy Pompano Beach, located in Pompano Beach, Florida, is a luxury multifamily community comprising approximately 214 units and offering studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences with high-end finishes and an extensive resort-style amenity package.

Together, PIXL and Envy would, if both transactions close, represent a significant addition to the Company’s existing real estate holdings and advance Stewards’ strategy of building a diversified financial platform across private credit, real assets and technology.

“Real assets have become an increasingly important part of what we are building at Stewards,” said Glen Steward, Chairman of the Board of Stewards, Inc. “These acquisitions would add meaningful scale to the platform and deepen our presence in South Florida. We continue to look for opportunities where we believe quality assets, disciplined capital allocation and long-term ownership can create value for Stewards and its shareholders.”

Stewards expects to move promptly through final due diligence and definitive documentation. The proposed acquisitions may close separately and remain subject to definitive agreements, required approvals and customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that either proposed acquisition will be completed.

The announcement follows Stewards’ direct uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market, where the Company’s common stock began trading under the ticker symbol “SWRD” on Sept. 10, 2026. The uplisting did not involve a concurrent Company primary offering. As of Sept. 11, 2026, Stewards had 211,149,963 shares of common stock outstanding and a freely tradable float of 2,088,473 shares, representing approximately 1% of total shares outstanding.

The securities that may be issued in connection with the proposed acquisitions have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied.
