Jonathan Dorfman to be promoted to Chief Legal Officer and Secretary effective November 2, 2026

NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Teladoc Health, Inc. (NYSE: TDOC), the global leader in virtual care, today announced a leadership transition in its legal function. After 11 years with the company, Adam Vandervoort, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary, has informed the company of his decision to resign, effective November 1, 2026. Jonathan Dorfman, Teladoc Health’s current Senior Vice President, Securities and Corporate Law, will succeed Vandervoort and be promoted to Chief Legal Officer and Secretary effective November 2, 2026.

Since joining Teladoc Health in 2015, Vandervoort has helped guide the company through its initial public offering, the rapid acceleration of virtual care adoption during the pandemic and an evolving regulatory landscape.

“For more than a decade, Adam has been a trusted partner to Teladoc Health’s leadership team, helping advance our mission and increase our impact,” said Chuck Divita, Chief Executive Officer of Teladoc Health. “His leadership has strengthened our company and helped establish a foundation for the broader virtual care industry. We are grateful for Adam’s many contributions and for his support through this transition.”

Dorfman joined Teladoc Health in 2020 through the acquisition of Livongo, where he led SEC compliance and corporate governance. He has served in legal roles of increasing responsibility at Teladoc Health, most recently leading the company’s SEC reporting and disclosure, corporate governance, capital markets and mergers and acquisitions. Previously, Dorfman was an in-house lawyer at USG Corporation and practiced law at Sidley Austin LLP.

“Jonathan is a proven leader who has earned the trust of our Board and leadership team,” Divita said. “His expertise, judgment and deep understanding of our business make him the natural choice to succeed Adam, and his promotion reflects the strength of the team Adam built.”

“I am honored to take on this role and grateful to Adam for the strong foundation he has built,” said Dorfman. “I look forward to working with our talented colleagues to support Teladoc Health’s mission and the people we serve.”

Dorfman holds a Juris Doctor from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Michigan’s Stephen M. Ross School of Business.

GEL brings established relationships across Canada’s mining, utility and industrial sectors

BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc. (“NOMAD” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: NMAD) (formerly LIXTE Biotechnology Holdings), a provider of transportable, utility-grade battery energy storage systems through its wholly owned subsidiary, NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, today announced the appointment of Global Environmental Liquid Ltd. (“GEL”) as its sales representative in Canada.

Under the agreement, GEL will identify and develop opportunities for NOMAD’s transportable battery energy storage systems among Canadian utilities, mining and resource companies, and other industrial customers. GEL brings established relationships across many of the markets NOMAD targets, particularly in remote and northern communities and in industrial, energy, and infrastructure applications.

The appointment expands NOMAD’s commercial reach in Canada, where mining, remote-site operations, utilities, and other industrial customers present opportunities for flexible, rapidly deployable power. NOMAD’s utility-scale, semi-trailer-mounted battery systems can be deployed in under one hour, delivering megawatt-scale energy storage without the lead times and infrastructure commitments of permanent installations.

Earlier this month, NOMAD showcased its technology to the Canadian mining and exploration community at the CEN-CAN Mining Expo in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The Company displayed a transportable battery energy storage unit and met with prospective customers across the mining, exploration, and natural resource sectors. GEL will build on that outreach as NOMAD expands its commercial efforts across Canada.

“Canada’s mining and resource sectors are well suited to NOMAD’s technology, particularly in remote locations where customers need flexible, rapidly deployable power,” said Jim Allan, Director of Sales at NOMAD Transportable Power Systems. “GEL brings established relationships across several of our priority markets, providing us with an experienced local representative as we expand our commercial presence in Canada.”

NOMAD has already established an operating presence in Canada. The Company’s 1 MW / 2 MWh Traveler transportable battery energy storage system achieved UL 9540 certification after a field deployment with Missanabie Cree First Nation in Northern Ontario, where the system continues to support emergency preparedness and reduce reliance on diesel generation.

“We consistently hear from operators about the challenge of securing reliable power before permanent infrastructure is in place,” said Peter Strang, Chairman and Chief Strategy Officer of Global Environmental Liquid Ltd. “NOMAD’s transportable battery systems offer a compelling solution to this challenge, and we look forward to introducing the technology to customers across our Canadian network.”

NOMAD and GEL also plan to participate in the PDAC 2027 Convention, to be held March 7–10, 2027, in Toronto, as well as in additional industry conferences and events across Canada.

About NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc.

NOMAD Power Solutions, Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary NOMAD Transportable Power Systems, provides transportable, utility-grade battery energy storage systems. The company’s mobile battery energy storage system (BESS) platforms deliver rapidly deployable, scalable energy solutions for electric utilities, data centers, commercial and industrial customers, emergency response, renewable energy integration, and grid modernization. By mobilizing energy storage, NOMAD enables customers to deploy power where and when it is needed without waiting for permanent infrastructure.

• American Renaissance Minerals, a company focused on advancing the Nkamouna Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese Project in Cameroon, is working with the Government of Cameroon toward the award of a new mining permit over the project, free of prior encumbrance. 
• The transaction consolidates into a single company the joint venture announced on August 7, 2026, under which Aeternum Resources held an option over a 51% interest in American Renaissance Minerals. On closing, Aeternum Resources will own the whole of American Renaissance Minerals and the underlying option arrangements will be terminated.
• Nickel and cobalt are both designated critical minerals by the United States, which imports approximately three quarters of the cobalt it consumes and, excluding recycled material, is almost wholly reliant on imports for its nickel supply.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aeternum (OTC: AETN) (“Company”), a company aiming to become a highly strategic supplier of critical minerals, today announced that it has entered into an agreement dated September 21, 2026, to acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in American Renaissance Minerals LLC (“ARM”) from ARM’s shareholder. ARM is the dedicated project vehicle seeking to advance the Nkamouna Cobalt-Nickel-Manganese Project in Cameroon. The transaction is subject to customary conditions and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2026.

On August 7, 2026, the Company announced that it had acquired an option to acquire a 51% interest in ARM. The transaction announced today replaces that arrangement with direct ownership of the whole of ARM, and the investment agreement under which the option arose will be terminated at or before closing. The Company believes that a single corporate owner simplifies the ownership of the project ahead of the possible award of a new mining permit.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the agreement, the Company has agreed to issue up to 133,333,333 shares of common stock of the Company or, if required by the terms of a beneficial ownership limitation contained in the agreement, pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company, in stages against project milestones. The figures expressed above are expressed prior to giving effect to the Company’s previously announced 1-for-20 reverse stock split, and are subject to adjustment for the reverse stock split and any other similar transactions. ARM’s shareholder will continue to support the project’s United States Government financing engagement, and the Company and ARM’s shareholder intend to cooperate on future opportunities.

Nkamouna is one of the largest undeveloped cobalt-nickel-manganese projects globally. The project was fully permitted between 2003 and 2025 by its prior operator, and the permit was withdrawn in February 2025. ARM currently holds certain historical data regarding the property, and is working with the Government of Cameroon, including the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Technological Development and the Société Nationale des Mines, toward the award of a new mining permit, free of prior encumbrance. If a mining permit is granted, the project will be developed in accordance with Cameroon’s Mining Code of December 2023, including the 10% free-carried interest of the State, with a concentrator at the mine site producing an exportable concentrate rather than shipping unprocessed ore, so that the first stage of processing and its associated value are retained in Cameroon.

Upon ownership of the title, the Company intends to approach the project with urgency. Concept engineering for the concentrator draws directly on the modular gravity-separation plant the Company is currently constructing in Nigeria, and the Company’s own engineering and construction team has designed, manufactured and installed comparable plant in Africa within the past year.

“We are taking full ownership because we intend to build this mine, and to build it quickly,” said Josua Oosthuizen, Chief Executive Officer of Aeternum Resources. “Our team has spent the past year designing, manufacturing and installing a gravity separation plant for our Nigerian project. That is the same engineering, the same discipline and in large part the same people we would put on Nkamouna. We are ready to move as soon as there is a permit to work against.”

ABOUT AETERNUM 
Aeternum (OTC: AETN) seeks to become a highly strategic supplier of critical minerals. Its first resource is a mine located in the Jos Plateau in Nigeria that will focus on the production of tin, niobium, tantalum and other metals.

Led by a management team with a track record of designing, building and commissioning mineral-processing plants in Africa, and supported by independent geological and metallurgical consultants, Aeternum’s goal is to develop multiple assets globally and create a diversified revenue stream from several critical minerals.

Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that such expectations will turn out to be correct, and the Company cautions investors that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results. Such factors include, among others, risks that the conditions to closing are not satisfied and that the transaction does not complete; risks relating to the timing and ability of the Company to obtain, and the timing of the approval of, relevant regulatory bodies, if at all; risks relating to the need for additional capital to complete development and commence production on any of the Company’s projects; property interests; risks related to access to the project; risks inherent in mineral exploration, including the fact that any particular phase of exploration may be unsuccessful; the availability of contractors; geo-political risks; the global economic climate; metal prices; environmental risks; political risks; community and non-governmental actions; and the other risks identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov.

ILLZACH, Haut-Rhin, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rütschi, a newcleo Group company specialising in the design and manufacture of pumps, is today celebrating its 80th anniversary in Illzach, near Mulhouse. Founded in Switzerland in 1946 and established in Alsace since 1970, the company has supported the development of the French nuclear industry for more than half a century. The anniversary celebrates the teams and industrial expertise that today enable Rütschi to serve the existing nuclear fleet while preparing for the next generations of reactors in France and internationally.

With more than 5,200 pumps delivered to over 110 nuclear power plants worldwide, including all French nuclear power plants, Rütschi has built up recognised industrial expertise. Its equipment performs essential functions in cooling, safety and effluent management. As a designer and manufacturer of highly technical equipment, the company supports its customers throughout the lifetime of their facilities, ensuring their continued operational performance through the supply of spare parts and maintenance services.

This long-standing relationship is reflected in particular in the 12-year framework agreement signed with EDF in September 2025, covering the manufacture of pumps for its future projects, including the EPR2 programme. Their production in Alsace enables Rütschi to contribute directly to the renewal of the French nuclear fleet and to preserving and developing strategic industrial capabilities in the region.

At its Illzach site, which employs around 60 people, Rütschi is preparing for this new phase of industrial development. A €3 million modernisation programme includes adapting its test bench to strengthen testing and qualification capabilities, as well as installing new assembly lines for equipment intended for the EPR2 programme and newcleo’s future advanced reactors.

Rütschi is firmly rooted in Alsace’s industrial fabric and maintains a close dialogue with the Grand Est Region and local elected representatives, whose engagement contributes to sustaining and developing the region’s industrial expertise.

Since joining newcleo in 2023, Rütschi has also contributed to the development of the company’s in-house industrial capabilities, alongside SRS, a specialist in nuclear engineering, and Fucina Italia, a manufacturer of nuclear systems and components. By bringing together expertise ranging from engineering to the manufacture of critical components and equipment within the Group, newcleo aims to strengthen its control over the industrialisation of its future reactors. At the same time, Rütschi continues to serve its long-standing customers and the wider nuclear industry in France and internationally.

This complementarity is already being put to use in newcleo’s development and qualification programme: Rütschi notably designed and will deliver an initial pump prototype for liquid lead testing at ENEA’s research centre in Brasimone, Italy. At the site, newcleo operates and is building 16 research facilities that generate the data required to support its development of commercial reactors.

“You cannot build a new generation of reactors without drawing on strong industrial expertise. In Illzach, Rütschi brings precisely that experience, with teams that have understood the requirements of the nuclear industry for decades,” said Stefano Buono, co-founder and CEO of newcleo. “This expertise is extremely valuable to newcleo: it helps us prepare for the industrialisation of our future reactors, while continuing to serve nuclear industry players in France and around the world. These 80 years also demonstrate that nuclear innovation relies on an industrial heritage that must be preserved and continuously developed.”

Patrice Woelffel, Chief Operating Officer of Rütschi, added: “These 80 years are first and foremost the story of the women and men who have built the trust of our customers, pump by pump. Our responsibility today is to pass on this expertise and give our teams the resources they need to continue developing it here in Illzach. The investments we are making should enable us to support new nuclear programmes while maintaining the same standards of quality and reliability that have long underpinned our relationships with our customers.”

NAPLES, Fla. and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CDT Equity Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) (“CDT” or the “Company”), announces that its board of directors has approved a 1-for-25 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, to ensure continued compliance with the Nasdaq bid-price rule. The Company’s stockholders approved future reverse stock splits, their timing, and granted the board of directors authority to determine future exact split ratios.

The reverse stock split will become effective on September 28, 2026, at 5:00 pm, Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”), and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) at market open under the existing ticker symbol, “CDT” on September 29, 2026, the date which has been approved by Nasdaq for the effectiveness of such split.

As of the Effective Time, every 25 shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. The par value per share of the Company’s common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s equity awards, convertible securities and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “CDT” following the reverse stock split, with a new CUSIP number of 20678X700. After the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock will be reduced to approximately 1,013,515. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share will receive a proportional cash payment.

The Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Co., will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders holding pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to each broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
