Month: September 2026

TEL-AVIV, Israel, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hub Cyber Security Ltd. (Nasdaq: HUBC) (“HUB Security” or the “Company”), a global provider of confidential computing and secured data fabric technologies, today announced a 1-for-25 reverse share split of its ordinary shares, no par value per share (the “Ordinary Shares”). The reverse share split and corresponding share capital adjustment will become effective at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, September 11, 2026. The Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) at the open of business on Monday, September 14, 2026, under the existing trading symbol “HUBC,” but the Ordinary Shares will trade under a new CUSIP number, M6000J309. HUB Security’s outstanding warrants will continue to be traded under the symbols “HUBCW” and “HUBCZ” and the CUSIP numbers for such warrants will remain unchanged.

As a result of the reverse share split, every 25 issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares will automatically be converted into one Ordinary Share. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the reverse share split. Instead, all fractional shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole share. The reverse share split affects all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. As of the date hereof, the Company had 44,895,531 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which, following the effectiveness of the reverse share split, will result in 1,795,821 Ordinary Shares outstanding on a post-split basis (taking into effect the settlement of fractional shares).

The reverse share split will also affect the Company’s derivative securities, including outstanding notes, options, warrants and restricted share units (collectively, the “Outstanding Equity Rights”). Generally, the plans and other documents pertaining to the Outstanding Equity Rights include provisions providing for adjustments in the event of a reverse share split in order to maintain the same economic effect. Specifically, the exercise price and the number of Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to Outstanding Equity Rights will be adjusted pursuant to the terms of such instruments in connection with the reverse share split.

The Company believes the reverse share split will increase the per share trading price of the Ordinary Shares and enable the Company to maintain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

Additional information regarding the reverse share split can be found in the Company’s proxy statement furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 4, 2026.

New Nasdaq Global Indexes survey finds private markets the top-ranked area of client demand across every region

Among asset managers, 80% now use AI in the product development process, but only 26% actively use it across multiple stages

NEW YORK, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nasdaq, Inc. (Nasdaq: NDAQ) today released the 2026 Global Voice of the Issuer Study, which finds that asset managers have converged on private markets as their top area of client demand and now use AI routinely in product development, but face increasing difficulty bringing new products to meaningful scale.

The study, conducted in partnership with Escalent, gathered insights on product development, differentiation, distribution, technology, and index provider partnerships from 406 senior investment product professionals (356 asset managers and 50 insurance firms) at firms with $25 billion or more in assets under management across seven countries.

While private markets ranked first in client demand across every region surveyed and AI adoption reached 80%, the research suggests the industry’s biggest challenge is no longer identifying growth opportunities, but turning them into products that succeed at scale. Seventy-one percent of asset managers say it is increasingly difficult to break through in a crowded market, while 66% say many new product innovations struggle to accumulate meaningful assets.

“Asset managers have identified where they want to grow. The harder question is what it takes to get there,” said Emily Spurling, Global Head of Indexes at Nasdaq. “As firms move quickly to satisfy demand for a range of exposures, including private markets and AI, what they need from index providers has changed – a partner in the room at the design stage, one that moves at their speed and can help them scale strategically. That is where the next phase of growth gets built.”

Private Markets Lead Client Demand Globally

Across both institutional and advisor channels, private markets rank first among the product areas asset managers say their clients are asking for most. Among institutional-focused firms, 82% of Americas respondents place private markets in their top five client demand areas, alongside 71% in APAC (Japan and South Korea) and 67% in Europe (the U.K., Germany, France, and Italy).

As the category grows, firms point to the data and benchmark standards behind it as the areas with the most room to develop. Among surveyed respondents, 58% identified private-market benchmarks as the largest unmet need presented in the survey, followed by digital asset benchmarks (41%). Asset managers active in private markets identify access to differentiated data (27%) and a clear investment narrative (27%) as the two factors most critical to stand out.

AI Adoption Is Broad, but Implementation Remains Shallow

Artificial intelligence has become a standard part of product development, though its use remains uneven. Eighty percent of asset managers globally report using AI in some capacity, rising to 84% in APAC, but only 26% actively deploy it across multiple parts of the process, with most limiting it to idea generation (69%) and product design (61%).

Among firms not yet using AI or still exploring it, the barriers are organizational rather than technological, led by compliance concerns (53%), lack of internal expertise (53%), and questions about the accuracy and transparency of AI outputs (50%). Firms are also divided on whether to talk about it — 63% believe AI use should feature in go-to-market messaging, while those opposed, concentrated in Europe, worry it signals experimentation over expertise.

Scale Depends on Credibility and Distribution

Asset managers report that product design alone no longer determines which launches succeed. Brand credibility and recognition is the leading competitive differentiator globally (55%), ahead of unique product design and structural innovation (46%), pricing (42%), and sales distribution capability (42%).

Distribution is among the leading constraints on scale, cited by 41% of firms and rising to 54% in the Americas, and 53% still depend on wealth channel home office approvals to reach meaningful scale, rising to 58% in the Americas and 60% in APAC. Firms are adapting through data-driven targeting (54%), greater use of digital distribution (50%), and increased emphasis on advisor education (43%).

Regional Priorities Diverge Across the Americas, Europe, and APAC

In the Americas, firms show the deepest engagement across emerging product areas, including digital assets (32% versus 13% in APAC) and options-based strategies (48% versus 17%), and decision-making is distribution-led, with 64% involving distribution and sales teams in go-to-market decisions.

In Europe, regulatory requirements are the leading barrier to scaling products (51%), reflecting the complexity of MiFID II, SFDR, and divergent national frameworks, and firms hold the highest speed-to-market expectations globally. In APAC, firms lead globally in AI adoption (84%) and show the strongest appetite for external research support.

Index Providers as Strategic Growth Partners

Asset managers increasingly want index partners involved more deeply in the ideation and development of new products, but also in the support of product growth in market. Sixty-eight percent say they need support during the product design phase, and 65% say it would be valuable for an index provider to act as an extension of their research team.

The support they most want to source externally is analytical — competitive intelligence (53%), research and insights (45%), and global market coverage (39%). Expectations are also outpacing delivery: 73% expect a new index product within six months, but only 62% say that timeline is met, extending the partnership model beyond benchmark construction into design, research, and go-to-market.

• Sixth Agreement Signed as Correspondent Pipeline Continues to Advance
• Agreement Executed Through AtlasClearing, the Company’s Correspondent Clearing Subsidiary
• Executive and AML Teams Strengthened with Additions of Robinhood, Axos and Morgan Stanley Alumni
• Company Expects to Timely File Its Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2026

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 10, 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 the execution of its sixth correspondent broker-dealer agreement through AtlasClearing, Inc. (formerly Wilson-Davis & Co., Inc.) (“AtlasClearing”), the Company’s wholly owned correspondent clearing subsidiary.

The agreement follows the fifth correspondent agreement announced in April and extends a pipeline that has advanced across consecutive quarters.

Infrastructure work completed during earlier correspondent integrations has shortened onboarding timelines and expanded the platform’s capacity to clear for multiple correspondents concurrently. AtlasClearing has added operations staff to support current correspondent activity and near-term pipeline development. The Company has also strengthened its executive team with the addition of senior leaders formerly with Robinhood and Axos, and enhanced its anti-money laundering (AML) program with the addition of a compliance professional formerly with Morgan Stanley.

“A correspondent clearing platform becomes more valuable as you add relationships to infrastructure that is already built and operating,” said John Schaible, Executive Chairman of AtlasClear Holdings. “Each agreement adds revenue potential on a cost base that is already largely in place, and six signed agreements tell us there is continued demand from firms looking for a clearing partner sized to the way they actually operate.”

“Each of these agreements represents a firm that has decided to move its business, and our job from here is to make that transition as straightforward as we can for them,” said Craig Ridenhour, President of AtlasClear Holdings. “The infrastructure work behind the platform was done with exactly this in mind, and the operations team we have added gives us the capacity to take it on.”

AtlasClear continues to advance discussions with additional broker-dealers as it scales its correspondent clearing platform through AtlasClearing and expects to announce further agreements as they are executed.

Separately, the Company reminds investors that it expects to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a timely basis. The Company looks forward to reporting on a fiscal year in which it advanced its correspondent clearing strategy and strengthened the foundation of its platform, and encourages investors to review the Form 10-K in its entirety when it is filed.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expected future growth, strategic initiatives, the onboarding of the Company’s correspondent broker-dealers and the timing and revenue contribution of those relationships, the expected timing of the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026 and the matters to be reported therein, the proposed acquisition of an institutional digital asset business and the proposed acquisitions of Ark Financial Services, Inc. and the Target, the anticipated timing and completion of the initial and second closings of the Dawson James transaction, the execution of definitive documentation, receipt of FINRA and other required regulatory and stockholder approvals, the anticipated growth of Dawson James’s clearing activity through AtlasClearing, the expected revenue, net income and EBITDA contributions of the proposed acquisitions, the timing of any disclosure of the Target’s identity, the Company’s intention to refile its application to acquire Commercial Bancorp of Wyoming, future financial performance, future capital markets activity, and the Company’s ability to execute on its business strategy. The letter of intent for the digital asset acquisition and the amended Dawson James letter of intent are non-binding (other than certain customary provisions), and there can be no assurance that definitive agreements will be executed or that the proposed acquisitions will be completed on the terms described, or at all.

These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and actual results may differ materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to: AtlasClear’s failure to enter into definitive agreements with the Target or the Dawson James parties, or its failure to complete the proposed acquisitions on favorable terms or at all; failure to receive the required regulatory approvals for the proposed acquisitions; AtlasClear’s inability to integrate, and to realize the benefits of, the proposed acquisitions; the risk that AtlasClear does not refile its application for the acquisition of Commercial Bancorp or that the acquisition does not close as a result of the failure to satisfy the conditions to closing such acquisition (including, without limitation, the receipt of approval of Commercial Bancorp’s stockholders and receipt of required regulatory approvals); delays in onboarding correspondent broker-dealers or the failure of correspondent relationships to generate the anticipated revenue; the risk that the Company does not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the time period anticipated; changes in general economic or political conditions; changes in the markets that AtlasClear targets; slowdowns in securities or digital asset trading or shifting demand for trading, clearing and settling financial products; and any change in laws applicable to AtlasClear or any regulatory or judicial interpretation thereof. For additional information regarding risks and uncertainties, please refer to the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2025, as amended, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. AtlasClear undertakes no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
