Cergy, September 24, 2026 – SPIE (the “Company”), the independent European leader in multi-technical services in the areas of energy and communications, today announces the results of the repurchase of a part of its sustainability-linked bonds settled in cash and/or convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable for existing shares due January 2028 (FR001400F2K3) (the “2028 ORNANEs”) announced on September 22, 2026 (the “Repurchase”).

The Company collected, via a reverse bookbuilding process conducted on September 22, 2026, indications of interest from holders of the outstanding 2028 ORNANEs.

Following the close of this reverse bookbuilding process carried out by BNP PARIBAS and Natixis as Joint Dealer Managers, SPIE has decided to accept the repurchase of 2,801 2028 ORNANEs in a principal amount of 280.1 million euros, representing approximately 70% of the number of the 2028 ORNANEs initially issued.

The final repurchase price pursuant to this process was set at 138,487 euros per 2028 ORNANE representing a total consideration of approximately 388 million euros. This final repurchase price was determined by reference to the initial repurchase price of 135,000 euros per 2028 ORNANE, determined at the close of the reverse bookbuilding process, adjusted for the change in price of a share of SPIE during the period starting on (and including) September 22, 2026 and ending on (and including) September 24, 2026, i.e., a reference share price of 44.1118 euros¹. In addition, the Company will pay interest accrued on the 2028 ORNANEs up to (but excluding) the settlement date of the Repurchase.

The settlement of the Repurchase is expected to take place on October 1, 2026 and is conditional upon the settlement of the issue of the new 500 million euros sustainability-linked notes due 2032 which is expected to occur on September 28, 2026.

The 2028 ORNANEs accepted in the Repurchase will be cancelled in accordance with their terms and conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”).

As announced in its press release published on September 22, 2026, it is reminded that SPIE will proceed with the early redemption of all remaining outstanding 2028 ORNANEs following the Repurchase, i.e., 1,073 2028 ORNANEs, in accordance with the 2028 ORNANEs Terms and Conditions.

The date of early redemption of the 2028 ORNANEs will be October 22, 2026 (the “Early Redemption Date”).

Pursuant to section 10.3.1 of the Terms and Conditions, the 2028 ORNANEs will be redeemed at par plus interest accrued, i.e., 100,527.17 euros per 2028 ORNANEs.

Pursuant to section 10.3.3 of the Terms and Conditions, the holders of 2028 ORNANEs retain the ability to request the exercise of their conversion/exchange right in accordance with the Terms and Conditions until the seventh trading day (included) preceding the Early Redemption Date, i.e. until October 13, 2026 (included). 

The Company reiterates its intention to deliver new and/or existing shares only in the event that holders of the remaining outstanding 2028 ORNANEs following the Repurchase exercise their conversion and/or exchange rights.

It is further recalled that, in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, the Company’s decision to deliver new and/or existing shares (i.e., the Decision Date as defined in the Terms and Conditions) will occur 3 trading days after each conversion and/or exchange request made by a holder of 2028 ORNANEs on any Exercise Request Date (as defined in the Terms and Conditions).

Any holder of 2028 ORNANEs that will not have requested the exercise of his or her conversion/exchange right in accordance with the Terms and Conditions prior to this date will be redeemed in the conditions set out above.

This press release does not contain and does not constitute an offer to sell securities, nor an invitation or solicitation to invest in securities in France, the United States, or any other jurisdiction.

New research reveals a large “switchable middle” of banking customers who are only moderately satisfied at best with their primary financial institution

GRAND-LANCY, Switzerland, Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Temenos (SIX: TEMN), a global leader in banking technology, today announced new global research commissioned with Celent, “The Banking Expectation Gap: Global Consumer Edition”. The findings reveal that banks face a fight to keep three in four customers as expectations rise for more personalized, advisory and AI-enabled banking experiences. Despite this, just 4% of banks state that investment in personalization of the customer experience is their top priority.

The study shows that nearly three-quarters of global banking customers are only moderately satisfied or less than moderately satisfied with their primary financial institution, creating a large “switchable middle” open to switching for better value, stronger digital experiences and services that reflect their needs. Over half (53%) of global consumers are dissatisfied with their payment services and 39% cite dissatisfaction with security and fraud protection. One in four globally have recently considered switching their primary bank, while 56% of global retail banks say it has become more challenging to win and retain customers in the past year.

Personalization has emerged as a deciding factor in customer loyalty. More than half (58%) want more financial guidance, while 51% say their bank should better anticipate their needs when they open the app or call. Around 40% want rates or other benefits that reflect the size or length of their relationship with the bank. Together, these findings point to growing demand for banking experiences that feel more relevant, advisory and personalized across both digital and human-assisted channels.

At the same time, customers are increasingly open to AI-enabled engagement where it helps them better understand and manage their finances. More than two-thirds (68%) would use a conversational interface for banking queries, and younger cohorts show particularly strong interest in AI-powered personalized financial advice. There is less enthusiasm for AI features that take automated actions. Fewer than half of global consumers would “definitely use” AI features that manage purchases on their behalf or perform routine transactions such as bill payment. Trust remains critical: privacy and data security are the leading concerns about AI in banking, cited by 47%, followed by errors or inaccurate decisions at 36%.

Banks are making efforts to modernize services in response to these demands, with nearly half (46%) saying they plan to make major changes or fully replace core banking systems in 2027. More than a fifth (over 20%) expect to expand AI initiatives beyond internal operations and into direct customer-facing use cases.

Michael Bernard, Principal Banking Analyst, Celent, said: “Customers want banking that feels more personal, more secure and easier to use, while still providing human support when it matters. These expectations are rising just as AI is reshaping how customers engage with financial services, creating a new expectation gap between the experiences customers want and what many banks are currently able to deliver.”

William Moroney, Chief Revenue Officer, Temenos, said: “What influences customer loyalty has changed dramatically. To win the ‘switchable middle’, including the growing mass affluent market, banks need to deliver the trust, relevance and convenience customers now demand from every financial interaction. With modern technology foundations and responsible AI, banks can turn the Expectation Gap into an opportunity to deepen relationships and drive growth at scale.”

 

About the Research

Celent surveyed 2,515 global banking consumers aged 18–65+ in June, July, and August 2026. The study included respondents from Europe (29%), the United States (28%), Asia-Pacific (19%), Latin America (12%), and the Middle East and Africa (11%). Additional insights in this report are drawn from the Celent Dimensions Survey of 216 global banking leaders. Celent analysts also conducted in-depth one-on-one interviews with banking leaders, concentrated among banks with US$10B–$500B in assets.

SRX has added ONCO in anticipation of Realbotix LLC acquisition closing. Believes Vinci AI Vision system is extremely undervalued and misunderstood, with multiple potential applications in defense, ranging from drones for facial recognition to body cameras.

NORTH PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SRX Global Inc. (NYSE American: SRXH) (the “Company” or “SRX”), an AI-enabled platform dedicated to generating long-term shareholder value through investments in high-conviction operating companies and strategic assets, today announced an update to shareholders on the liquidation of portfolio holdings Vistagen Therapeutics (Nasdaq: VTGN), a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company, and Greenland Mines (Nasdaq: GRML), a critical and precious minerals development company.

Additionally, the Company has added an investment in Onconetix Inc. (Nasdaq: ONCO). Onconetix has previously announced an agreement to acquire Realbotix LLC.

Realbotix utilizes a proprietary, patented robotic eyeball technology and an AI vision system known as Vinci. Developed by Realbotix, this hardware and software integration embeds cameras and tracking lenses directly inside the robot’s eyeballs, rather than hiding them in the forehead or chest like standard humanoids. The Vinci AI Vision System enables the hardware lenses to detect motion, recognize returning users, and identify objects or colors in the surrounding environment. The in-eye sensors analyze human micro-expressions to gauge emotional states (such as confusion, engagement, or frustration) and automatically adapt the robot’s conversation via integrated large language models (LLMs).

About SRX Global Inc.
SRX Global is an AI-driven platform focused on generating long-term shareholder value through investments in high-conviction operating companies, strategic assets, and technology-enabled opportunities. The Company leverages proprietary technology, data analytics, and disciplined capital allocation to identify and manage investments across multiple sectors.

Company notes early demand interest across the coordinated program of ten 9.9 MW behind-the-meter sites and will continue to provide updates as the program is rolled out

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FingerMotion, Inc. (Nasdaq: FNGR) (“FingerMotion” or the “Company”) today announced that it has received indications of interest totaling approximately 52.5 megawatts of capacity within the 99 MW Alberta behind-the-meter power and compute program disclosed on September 15, 2026.

The program comprises ten 9.9 MW generation and data hall sites grouped into four campuses in the Brooks, Coronation, Fox Creek and Vulcan Zones, representing 99 megawatts of gross generation capacity in development and approximately 72 megawatts of aggregate continuous critical IT capacity. Each site is intended to be held in a dedicated project company of which FingerMotion is the sole shareholder. Development, construction and site operations are performed by BlueFlare Group Holdings Inc., which takes title to none of the project assets.

The indications of interest relate to capacity within the recently disclosed corridor and are consistent with the Company’s stated approach of seeking to contract capacity under long-term agreements before committing construction capital to any individual site. Indications of interest are not binding offtake agreements, do not constitute contracted demand, and do not guarantee that any customer contract will be executed on any particular terms or at all.

FingerMotion’s intended process remains to secure land with power, permit it, and contract capacity to offtake clients before initiating construction. Offtake clients may contract for a site as powered land on which they install their own modular data halls, as a colocation site, or as a turnkey facility. Each campus is sized below 10 MW to use the streamlined approval pathway for smaller power plants under Alberta Utilities Commission Rule 007, and each is to be held in its own subsidiary so that campuses can be permitted and contracted independently of one another.

“Power remains the scarce input for AI and high-performance computing,” said Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of FingerMotion. “Receiving indications of interest inside the 99 MW corridor so soon after we laid out the program is consistent with the demand we expected when we structured the sites as independently permitted, owner-operated campuses. We will continue to provide updates as we roll out the program—land, permits, contracting, and only then construction.”

We have provided a four-point matrix as a way for investors to measure our progress. We are pleased to provide an update from the original August 27, 2026 iteration.

Milestone	What “done” looks like	Status
		August 27, 2026 Press Release	September 24, 2026 Update

Over the past year, iCAUR has established a market presence in more than 40 countries and regions, with the V23 and V27 launched in core markets such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia. As its global footprint continues to expand, this year’s summit will serve as another key offline communication bridge between iCAUR and its global user community. Through the User Modification Carnival and co-creation initiatives, iCAUR will further integrate user creativity and needs into its brand development strategy.

Building on its enduring brand philosophy and ongoing co-creation endeavours, iCAUR hopes to work with global users to shape “Future Classics” in more personalized ways. The event will also showcase the Mojia robot AiMOGA, an embodied-intelligence robot working to become a globally leading and trustworthy intelligent assistant. More details about the summit agenda, along with product, technology and user plans, will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

H1 2026 earnings

H1 2026 earnings down amid a globally challenging market environment
Business resilience in France, particularly in the second quarter

• EBITDA¹ of €4.9m in H1 2026, down €0.9m from €5.9m in H1 2025
• Gross margin ratio virtually unchanged versus H1 2026 and FY 2025
• Net profit (Group share) of €2.1m in H1 2026, down €0.5m
• Second half outlook: strengthening of Industrial Services and Agency Brands, acceleration in targeted innovations for International Strategic Brands and Flagship Regional Brands, sustained systematic approach to financial discipline.

Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits (the “Company”) (Euronext: MBWS) today announces its consolidated earnings for H1 2026 as approved by the Group’s Board of Directors on 23 September 2026. The audit procedures have been carried out.

Fahd Khadraoui, Chief Executive Officer of MBWS, said: “The results for the first half do not fully reflect the progress made by the Group amid a persistently challenging market and macroeconomic environment. In France, William Peel’s recovery in the Off-Trade sector has been slower than expected, given the complexity of this network. Compared with the first quarter of 2025, when the full impact of the product de-listings hadn’t yet kicked in, this effect continues to overshadow the benefits of successful new product launches from Marie Brizard and Sobieski brands. The second quarter upswing, expanded distribution since the end of June and seasonal sales patterns should allow us to leverage these gains more efficiently in the second half year.

On the international scene, the Group is pursuing its development plan, notably by upgrading the production facilities in Brazil with a view to setting up new Industrial Services operations there, and through the integration of Interbrands entity in Denmark. However, these promising developments are somewhat dampened by external factors that are weighing heavily on certain subsidiaries. These include the consequences of the Ukraine conflict for our Lithuanian export business and the challenges faced by certain customers in Eastern Europe, which are putting pressure on our Bulgarian subsidiary. Given the lack of visibility on when these impacts will subside, we will continue to rigorously manage costs and resources. Bolstered by its financial situation, the Group is maintaining a clear course and is resolutely pursuing its investments and development projects.”

First half 2026 revenues

First half 2026 revenues excluding excise duties came to €84.0m, down 4.4% versus H1 2025 at constant scope and exchange rates (down 3.0% as reported). This decline in sales reflects challenging macroeconomic trends, which are generally unfavourable for spirits markets.

The France Cluster posted H1 2026 revenues of €35.6m, up 1.2% versus H1 2025. The upturn in France was particularly pronounced in the second quarter of 2026 (up 6% to €18.6m), reflecting the gradual recovery in William Peel’s product listings and sales in the Off-Trade sector and structural improvements linked to the launch of new Marie Brizard and Sobieski products.

In the On-Trade channel, first half revenues rose 10.1% (up 16% for the second quarter), driven by Marie Brizard and the development of new Agency Brands.

Moreover, a new Industrial Services contract for cognac signed in late 2025 made a further contribution to growth amid a challenging global market.

The International Cluster posted H1 2026 revenues of €48.4m, down 8.3% (down 5.8% as reported) versus H1 2025. The decline slowed in the second quarter, with sales down 3.1% versus Q2 2025 to €26.7m (down 0.3% as reported).
This gradual improvement was driven by:

• the return to full capacity for Industrial Services in Spain following the first quarter technical shutdowns;
• more favourable order timing for Gautier in Martinique and Guadeloupe, partly offset by lower sales of Sobieski in the UK and William Peel in the Belux region;
• a steady decline in consumption in Lithuania amid constantly rising excise duties, and an export market hard hit by falling sales in Ukraine due to the direct and indirect impacts of the conflict, which are disrupting the entire distribution logistics chain and infrastructure;
• phased inventory rundown by our US importer, resulting in a temporary improvement compared to a very low comparison base in the first half of 2025, while Marie Brizard and Gautier posted brisk sales;
• structural developments, including innovations in International Strategic Brands, strong momentum for Marie Brizard in the United States and the integration of a Danish distributor.

First half 2026 earnings

The gross margin ratio was 38.8% in H1 2026, virtually unchanged from 38.9% in H1 2025. The slight margin improvement in France offset the limited decline in the international segment.

First half 2026 EBITDA amounted to €4.9m, down €0.9m (at constant scope and exchange rates) versus H1 2025.

The France Cluster posted EBITDA of €3.7m, close to the H1 2025 figure. This stability is the outcome of the first quarter decline, partly offset by the gradual recovery in distribution for William Peel, and the second quarter upswing driven by improved distribution of William Peel and new product launches from Marie Brizard and Sobieski following the conclusion of commercial negotiations in early March.

The International Cluster posted EBITDA of €3.4m, down €1.2m. This change is mainly due to the decline in export sales from the Lithuanian subsidiary to the Ukrainian market, against a backdrop of conflict and the ensuing increasing disruption of the entire distribution supply chain and infrastructure, as stated above. The Bulgarian subsidiary’s Industrial Services business was also impacted by a sharp fall in orders from a customer in difficulty.

Holding company EBITDA improved by €0.4m, reflecting continued rigorous cost management.

H1 2026 EBITDA by Cluster

€m	H1 2025	LFL change	Currency & scope effects	H1 2026	LFL change	Reported change
France	3.7	(0.0)	–	3.7	-0.9%	-0.9%
International	4.7	(1.2)	(0.0)	3.4	-26.0%	-28.0%
Holding company	(2.6)	0.4	–	(2.1)	+16.5%	+16.5%
TOTAL MBWS GROUP	5.9	(0.8)	(0.0)	4.9	-14.3%	-15.9%

First half net profit, Group share amounted to €2.1m, down €0.5m versus H1 2025. This slight deterioration is due to the fall in underlying operating profit, which was partly offset by the recognition of deferred tax assets, while net financial income remained stable.

Balance sheet at 30 June 2026

Shareholders’ equity, Group share, was €223.8m at 30 June 2026, up from €221.5m at 31 December 2025. Gross borrowings remained stable at €6.7m, while gross cash and cash equivalents increased by €1.4m. Net cash amounted to €46.8m at 30 June 2026, compared with €45.3m at 31 December 2025.

Inventory and work in progress amounted to €54.4m as at 30 June 2026, up €1.6m from 31 December 2025. This increase, which is more pronounced compared with 30 June 2025 (up €2.5m), is due to the gradual recovery of the whisky William Peel in distribution in France during the first half of 2026, leading to a temporary swelling of inventories.

Outlook

The Group continues to create the conditions for a profitable and sustainable development of its business portfolio and for strengthening its presence in key markets, leveraging its subsidiaries, commercial networks and direct exports.

The Group remains fully committed to streamlining its operating model and pursuing rigorous cost control in order to maintain overall profitability. Meanwhile, efforts are being maintained to develop markets and product categories offering the most attractive growth prospects, both in France and internationally.

However, spirits markets continue to struggle against volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical headwinds, requiring considerable operational agility and commercial responsiveness. In particular, the Group remains exposed to the impacts of the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, which are driving up the cost of inputs and transport (maritime and land logistics, energy, raw materials, etc.) and disrupting supply chains (longer lead times, delays in order collection, declining sales, etc.).

Against this backdrop, the Group expects the prevailing uncertainty and contrasting trends to continue for the rest of the year, characterised by:

• ongoing positive momentum in France, mainly driven by the gradual recovery in William Peel distribution in the Off-Trade sector and the resulting claw-back of market share, Marie Brizard and Sobieski Strategic Brand innovations, portfolio expansion with new Agency Brands and new Industrial Services contracts;
• internationally, an expected decline in Eastern Europe, impacted by external factors affecting certain subsidiaries, particularly the challenges faced by Group customers in Ukraine due to the conflict, as well as other customers in Central Europe. Performance will also be impacted by the transformations and transitions initiated this year in certain subsidiaries, including Brazil and Denmark, to pave the way for future growth.

To address this environment, the Group is building on tangible progress across all its strategic development priorities: targeted innovations for International Strategic Brands and Flagship Regional Brands, the expansion of the Agency Brands portfolio via new contracts in France, the integration of a distributor in Denmark and the development of new Industrial Services partnerships in France and Brazil. The Group is actively pursuing the identification of suitable and profitable growth opportunities, both organic and external, with a view to long-term development. The Group is thereby demonstrating its ability to gain market share on its mainstream brands by combining targeted initiatives, agile commercial execution and rigorous cost management.
