MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J., Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (“OPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: OPTT) a leader in maritime operational infrastructure and autonomous ocean systems, today announced that it conducted a formally evaluated demonstration of its WAM-V^® 8 platform in challenging surf-zone conditions at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Field Research Facility in Duck, North Carolina.

The demonstration generated data and operational insights to inform the continued development of OPT’s 16- and 22-foot WAM-V platforms for demanding near-shore environments. Testing addressed sensor performance, vehicle configuration, and sensor deployment methods, while identifying design improvements and operational and safety considerations relevant to customer requirements.

Investigational New Drug application planned for submission to the U.S. FDA in the fourth quarter of 2026, advancing the Company’s regulatory path toward NDA filing for gout program XRx-026

CALGARY, Alberta, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XORTX Therapeutics Inc. (“XORTX” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: XRTX), a late-stage clinical pharmaceutical company focused on developing innovative therapies to treat gout and progressive kidney disease, outlines its anticipated Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the XRx-026 gout program. XORTX’s drug development plan is to seek FDA marketing approval for XRx-026 and provide patients with a new therapeutic option. The key steps the Company anticipates will be necessary to file a marketing application with the FDA include meetings with the agency, a two-part clinical study to characterize the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of the XORLO^™ formulation of oxypurinol, and manufacture of a commercial supply of XORLO^™ for the first year of marketing.

Recent drug development team activities include preparation of a new IND for submission to the FDA in the fourth quarter of 2026. The application describes the Company’s clinical development plan and its intention to file a New Drug Application (“NDA”) with the FDA following completion of the planned two-part XRX-OXY-102 clinical trial, which is being advanced based on positive and supportive prior clinical trial results and discussions with the FDA. The focus of the XRX-OXY-102 clinical trial is to characterize key information needed by the FDA in its evaluation of a future NDA filing by XORTX for marketing approval.

If the XRX-OXY-102 clinical trial is successfully completed, the Company anticipates requesting a pre-NDA meeting with the FDA and preparing an NDA submission, in parallel with pre-commercialization activities. Subject to the availability of sufficient funding and the timely completion of the XRX-OXY-102 clinical trial, XORTX is targeting an NDA submission in approximately one year. Based on prior peak net sales for febuxostat, XORTX estimates the XRx-026 program addresses an estimated US$700M market opportunity per annum.

“Our planned IND submission to the FDA next quarter is a defining step for the XRx-026 program,” stated Allen Davidoff, Co-Chief Executive Officer of XORTX, who added, “It reflects the strength of our prior clinical results and moves us closer to potentially offering gout patients a differentiated treatment option.”

This planned submission is one part of XORTX’s broader regulatory strategy for XRx-026, and the Company looks forward to providing further updates on its international development plans.

About Hyperuricemia and Gout

In the United States, approximately 44 million individuals have uric acid levels above the normal range, with 9.2 million individuals living with gout¹. Gout is associated with severe pain, reduced quality of life², decreased physical function³, increased healthcare costs⁴, and lost economic productivity⁵. It is also strongly associated with metabolic syndrome⁵, myocardial infarction^6,7, Type 2 diabetes mellitus⁸, chronic kidney disease⁹, and premature mortality^6,10,11. Importantly, the global prevalence of gout is increasing, with cases expected to increase 70% over the next 25 years^*.

About the XRx-026 Program and XORLO™

The XRx-026 program is developing XORLO™, the Company’s proprietary formulation of oxypurinol, to treat individuals with gout. Oral xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs) are the current standard of care, but limitations remain: approximately 3–5% of patients cannot tolerate allopurinol, and febuxostat, while once achieving >US$450 million in annual sales, now carries a boxed warning for cardiovascular risk. XORLO™ is designed to address this unmet need by providing an alternative therapeutic option with a differentiated safety and efficacy profile. Advancement of XRx-026 through NDA filing is a strategic priority for XORTX.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VisionWave Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWAV) (“VisionWave” or the “Company”), a defense technology and artificial intelligence company, today announced that it will effect a 1-for-20 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”).

The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on September 22, 2026. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “VWAV” and is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on September 22, 2026. The common stock will be assigned a new CUSIP number, 927950204.

At the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 1, 2026, the stockholders approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of not more than 1-for-250, with the exact ratio and the timing thereof to be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. On September 3, 2026, the Board of Directors set the ratio at 1-for-20 and approved the filing of a Certificate of Amendment of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which the Company filed on September 16, 2026.

The Reverse Stock Split is primarily intended to increase the per share trading price of the Company’s common stock in order to maintain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every twenty (20) shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, and shares held in treasury, will automatically be combined into one (1) share of common stock. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock from approximately 47.5 million shares to approximately 2.4 million shares, subject to adjustment for the rounding up of fractional shares described below. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the par value of the common stock, which will remain $0.01 per share, and will not change the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock, which will remain 160,000,000 shares, consisting of 150,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, the number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock available for future issuance will increase substantially relative to the number of shares outstanding, and future issuances of those shares could be dilutive to existing stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Any fractional share that would otherwise result from the Reverse Stock Split will be rounded up to the next whole share. For this purpose, all shares of common stock held of record by a stockholder immediately prior to the effective time will be aggregated. No stockholder will receive a cash payment in lieu of a fractional share, and no stockholder will be cashed out of the Company as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Proportionate adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or vesting of the Company’s outstanding warrants, pre-funded warrants, stock options, restricted stock units and convertible notes, and to the applicable exercise, conversion or purchase prices thereof, as well as to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans, in each case in accordance with the terms of the applicable instrument or plan.

Stockholders holding shares in book-entry form or through a bank, broker or other nominee do not need to take any action in connection with the Reverse Stock Split; their positions will be adjusted automatically to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Beneficial holders with questions regarding the processing of the Reverse Stock Split should contact their bank, broker or other nominee. Registered stockholders holding shares directly with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, will receive information from the transfer agent regarding their holdings following the effective time. Additional information regarding the Reverse Stock Split is contained in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 23, 2026, and in the Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied, including but not limited to: the risk that the Reverse Stock Split does not result in a sustained increase in the per share trading price of the common stock, or that the price declines following the Reverse Stock Split; the risk that the Reverse Stock Split does not enable the Company to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price requirement or any other continued listing standard, and the risk of delisting; the risk that the Reverse Stock Split reduces the liquidity or marketability of the common stock, or increases the number of stockholders holding odd lots; the substantial increase in authorized but unissued shares of common stock available for future issuance and the potential dilution to existing stockholders resulting from future issuances, including under the Company’s at-the-market offering arrangements, outstanding convertible notes, warrants and pre-funded warrants, and equity incentive plans; the Company’s need for additional capital and the terms on which it may be available; the effect of the Reverse Stock Split on the conversion, exercise and floor price provisions of the Company’s outstanding securities; the risk of delay in the effectiveness or processing of the Reverse Stock Split by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, Nasdaq, the Company’s transfer agent or The Depository Trust Company; and the other risks described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.

• Binding, interest-bearing payment plan converts PMGC’s 5% net sales royalty into scheduled monthly cash payments to NorthStrive Biosciences through August 2031, creating recurring, non-dilutive cash flow
• Agreement covers the 2025 royalty and all future royalty and earnout payments, backed by joint and several obligors, mandatory prepayments tied to Longevity capital events, and annual audit rights

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Sept. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PMGC Holdings Inc. (“PMGC” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ELAB), a diversified holding company, today announced that the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, NorthStrive Biosciences Inc. (“NorthStrive”), have entered into a fully executed, interest-bearing payment agreement (the “Payment Agreement”) with Longevity Health Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Carmell Corporation (“Longevity”), securing the royalty payments owed in connection with PMGC’s January 2025 sale of its Elevai Skincare business.

Under the asset purchase agreement dated December 31, 2024 governing the divestiture of Elevai Skincare Inc., PMGC negotiated ongoing earnout consideration including a five-year royalty equal to five percent (5%) of net sales generated from the existing Elevai Skincare product line. The royalty rights are held by NorthStrive pursuant to a consent to assignment entered into in December 2025, such that each royalty payment is payable directly to PMGC’s subsidiary as it comes due.

The Payment Agreement transforms this royalty entitlement into contractual, scheduled cash flow with defined payment dates, interest, and enforcement rights. Key terms include:

• Acknowledged obligation: Longevity has acknowledged its obligation to pay its 2025 royalty in the amount of $94,937, with interest accruing at the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.00% per annum from the royalty’s original April 2026 due date until paid in full;
• Structured monthly payments: installments of $10,000 per month commencing October 15, 2026, with all amounts due no later than August 28, 2031;
• Full forward coverage: every future royalty and earnout payment that becomes due under the sale agreement is automatically added to the payment plan on the same interest-bearing terms;
• Unconditional obligations: Longevity’s payment obligations are absolute and unconditional, without setoff, counterclaim, or deduction, and Longevity is liable as primary obligor jointly and severally with the buyer of the Elevai Skincare business, without any requirement that NorthStrive first pursue the buyer;
• Accelerated cash recovery: mandatory prepayments equal to fifteen percent (15%) of net cash proceeds Longevity or the buyer receives from qualifying capital raises exceeding $350,000, asset sales outside the ordinary course of business, and settlements, judgments, or insurance recoveries, in each case subject to limited exclusions; and
• Transparency and enforcement: annual net sales statements due within five (5) business days of Longevity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, annual audit rights, and acceleration and cost recovery rights upon payment default or insolvency.

For PMGC, the Payment Agreement converts the earnout consideration negotiated in the Elevai Skincare divestiture into visible, recurring, interest-bearing cash flow. Every dollar collected is non-dilutive to PMGC shareholders, and the five-year royalty structure allows the Company to continue participating in the commercial performance of the Elevai Skincare product line long after the sale, while its capital and management focus remains on building its precision manufacturing, biosciences, and defense technology businesses.

The agreement further underscores the deal architecture that has defined PMGC’s evolution as a diversified holding company: structuring transactions to capture value at closing and for years afterward, protecting contractual receivables with creditor-grade terms, and converting those rights into cash flow that supports the Company’s acquisition-driven growth strategy without issuing equity or incurring debt.
