MIAMI, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Watsco, Inc. (NYSE: WSO) today announced that it has signed a $750 million unsecured senior revolving credit facility led by Bank of America, N.A. as Joint Lead Arranger, Sole Bookrunner and Administrative Agent and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and U.S. Bank N.A. as Joint Lead Arrangers and Co-Syndication Agents, along with five other banks. The new facility amends and extends Watsco’s existing unsecured revolving credit facility.

Terms of the agreement include increased borrowing capacity, covenant flexibility and greater sensitivity to the seasonal nature of our working capital requirements.

WARMINSTER, Pa., Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS) (“Arbutus” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on infectious disease, today announced that the Company was notified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) that the clinical hold on the Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for AB-101 has been removed and that the Company may engage in additional clinical development for AB-101 in the United States. Arbutus is evaluating next steps for the continued development of AB-101.

AB-101 is a proprietary oral PD-L1 inhibitor that has the potential to activate patients’ hepatitis B virus (“HBV”)-specific immune response by inhibiting PD-L1. AB-101 has completed a Phase 1a/1b clinical trial (AB-101-001) evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of single- and multiple-ascending oral doses in healthy subjects and patients with chronic HBV (“cHBV”) infection. The data from healthy subjects in Parts 1 and 2 and cHBV patients in Part 3 of this clinical trial have shown that AB-101 was generally well-tolerated with evidence of high receptor occupancy in seven cHBV patients and hepatitis B surface antigen decline in two cHBV patients at the 30mg dose.

About Arbutus  

Arbutus Biopharma Corporation (Nasdaq: ABUS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on infectious disease. The Company is currently developing imdusiran (AB-729) and an oral PD-L1 inhibitor (AB-101) for the treatment of cHBV infection. The Company is also consulting closely with and supporting its exclusive licensee, Genevant Sciences, to protect and defend its intellectual property, which is the subject of on-going lawsuits against Pfizer Inc., BioNTech SE, and certain of their affiliates, for use of Arbutus’ patented LNP technology in their COVID-19 vaccines. For more information, visit www.arbutusbio.com.

About AB-101

AB-101 is an oral PD-L1 inhibitor candidate that is designed to allow for controlled checkpoint blockade while minimizing the systemic safety issues typically seen with checkpoint antibody therapies. Immune checkpoints such as PD-1/PD-L1 play an important role in the induction and maintenance of immune tolerance and in T-cell activation, for example against HBV. In Arbutus’ Phase 1a/1b clinical trial, AB-101 was generally well-tolerated with evidence of high receptor occupancy.

About HBV

Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by HBV. HBV can cause chronic infection which leads to a higher risk of death from cirrhosis and liver cancer. cHBV infection represents a significant unmet medical need. The World Health Organization estimates that over 250 million people worldwide suffer from cHBV infection, while other estimates indicate that approximately 2 million people in the United States suffer from cHBV infection. Approximately 1.1 million people die every year from complications related to cHBV infection despite the availability of effective vaccines and current treatment options.

Additionally, there are known and unknown risk factors which could cause Arbutus’ actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained herein. Known risk factors include, among others: ongoing and anticipated clinical trials may be more costly or take longer to complete than anticipated, and may never be initiated or completed, or may not generate results that warrant future development of the tested product candidate; Arbutus may elect to change its strategy regarding its product candidates and clinical development activities; Arbutus may not receive the necessary regulatory approvals for the clinical development of Arbutus’ product candidates; economic and market conditions may worsen; and market shifts may require a change in strategic focus.

A more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties facing Arbutus appears in Arbutus’ Annual Report on Form 10-K, Arbutus’ Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Arbutus’ continuous and periodic disclosure filings, which are available at www.sec.gov and at www.sedarplus.ca.

TORONTO, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FirstService Corporation (TSX: FSV; NASDAQ: FSV) today reported results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2026. All amounts are in US dollars.

Consolidated revenues for the third quarter were $1.53 billion, a 6% increase relative to the same quarter in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA (note 1) increased 3% to $169.7 million, and Adjusted EPS (note 2) was $1.89, reflecting 7% growth over the prior year quarter. During the third quarter, FirstService reported GAAP Operating Earnings of $107.4 million, versus $115.6 million in the prior year period. GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.99 in the quarter, versus $1.24 for the same quarter a year ago.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, consolidated revenues were $4.30 billion, a 4% increase relative to the comparable prior year period, Adjusted EBITDA was $437.1 million, up 3%, and Adjusted EPS was $4.57, an increase of 4% over the prior year period. FirstService’s GAAP Operating Earnings were $253.7 million in the current year period, versus $252.2 million in the prior year. GAAP diluted earnings per share for the nine months year-to-date was $2.41, compared to $2.32 in the prior year period.

“We were pleased with our results for the quarter, highlighted by our sequential improvement in organic top-line growth,” said Scott Patterson, Chief Executive Officer of FirstService. “The continued strong execution of our operating teams in the face of macroeconomic challenges reinforces our confidence in achieving our previously communicated full-year performance targets,” he concluded.

Segmented Quarterly Results
FirstService Residential revenues were $633.3 million for the third quarter, up 5% compared to the prior year quarter, and all from organic growth (note 1). Top-line performance was driven by new contract wins and expanded sited labor services. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was $71.3 million, an increase of 7% compared to the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $58.0 million, versus $53.3 million for the third quarter of last year. Margins for the division were modestly up versus the prior year due to labor cost management and incremental efficiency gains.

FirstService Brands revenues during the third quarter were $898.4 million, up 7% relative to the prior year period. On an organic basis, division revenues grew 3% driven by our Restoration brands and Century Fire Protection, and partially offset by reduced activity levels at Roofing Corp. of America. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter was $101.8 million, compared to $102.1 million in the prior year period. Operating Earnings were $60.0 million, versus $73.7 million in the prior year quarter. The decline in the division margin primarily reflects reduced profitability in our roofing operations, resulting from lower year-over-year revenues and a more competitive market environment. Operating Earnings margin was also affected by contingent consideration fair value adjustments that benefitted the prior year period.

Corporate costs, as presented in Adjusted EBITDA (note 1), were $3.5 million in the third quarter, relative to $3.7 million in the prior year period. GAAP corporate costs for the quarter were $10.7 million, relative to $11.4 million in the prior year period.

Notes
1. Reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other (income) expense; (iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) acquisition-related items; and (vi) share-based compensation expense. The Company uses Consolidated adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its own operating performance, its ability to service debt, and as an integral part of its planning and reporting systems. Additionally, this measure is used in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA are presented as a supplemental measure because the Company believes such a measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance, due to the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. The Company believes this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s method of calculating adjusted EBITDA and segment adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA appears below.

(1) Corporate costs represent corporate selling, general and administrative costs, depreciation and amortization and acquisition related items not directly attributable to reportable segments, and are therefore unallocated within segment operating earnings
(loss) and Adjusted EBITDA.

Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin is defined as segment Adjusted EBITDA divided by segment revenues.

Organic growth is defined as revenue growth adjusted to exclude the revenue attributable to acquired or disposed businesses for a period of twelve months following their acquisition or preceding their disposal.

2. Reconciliation of net earnings and diluted net earnings per share to adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per share: 

Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted net earnings per share, adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii) acquisition-related items; (iii) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions; and (iv) share-based compensation expense. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability of operating results from period to period. Adjusted EPS is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per share, as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted EPS appears below.

The only blockchain infrastructure company onboarded by Hong Kong’s Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises in 2026, Solana Company will establish its Asia-Pacific headquarters in the city

HONG KONG, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Solana Company (NASDAQ: HSDT) (the “Company”), a publicly listed digital asset infrastructure and services company, today announced that it has been designated as a strategic enterprise by the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES). OASES, established in 2022 to attract companies of strategic importance to Hong Kong, has brought in more than 140 strategic enterprises to date, including global leaders such as Pfizer, GSK, Roche, Dassault Systèmes, DiDi and artificial intelligence developer MiniMax.

Solana Company is the only blockchain infrastructure company onboarded by OASES in 2026, and is part of OASES’s seventh batch of strategic enterprises, announced today at a signing ceremony in Hong Kong. The designation comes weeks after Hong Kong set the goal of establishing a “world-leading licensing and regulatory regime for digital assets” in its First Five-Year Plan.

The Company’s designation is the latest in a series of related digital asset initiatives, including the Stablecoins Ordinance, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s Project Ensemble on tokenization, and the trading of regulated stablecoins on licensed virtual asset trading platforms.

Joseph Chee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Solana Company, commented, “We are excited by Hong Kong’s progress on digital assets and believe in its future as an international financial center. Asia Pacific is central to our strategy, and Hong Kong is the base from which we will advise institutions and build infrastructure across the region. As a Solana network operator and investor, we look forward to exploring how digital asset infrastructure can contribute to Hong Kong’s financial institutions. We’re grateful to OASES and the HKSAR Government for their support.”

Solana Company has established an office in Hong Kong that will serve as its headquarters and base of operations for its executive team to lead its Asia-Pacific operations. Under its Pacific Backbone initiative, the Company will set up validator operations in Hong Kong, giving the city a larger role in operating the decentralized Solana network. Through its advisory services, the Company works with financial institutions across Asia-Pacific, engaging regulators and policymakers to help drive the adoption of blockchain technology in a structured manner.

The Solana network is open, neutral and always-on, and no single company owns or controls it, much like TCP/IP for the internet. It is built as internet capital markets, where assets can be issued, traded and settled worldwide 24/7.

About Solana Company

Solana Company (Nasdaq: HSDT) is a publicly listed digital asset infrastructure and services company. The company combines active treasury management, institutional-grade staking and validator operations with bespoke advisory services for financial institutions navigating blockchain adoption. Solana Company executes a self-reinforcing flywheel designed to compound value with every turn.

Eleventh U.S. patent application covers orchestration technology enabling multiple specialized AI agents to collaborate within a single live conversation

Vancouver, BC, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SalesCloser Technologies Ltd. (“SalesCloser” or the “Company”) (TSXV: SCAI) (OTCQB: SCTLF) (FSE: MJ5), a pioneer in autonomous AI sales technology, today announces that it has filed a new U.S. patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) titled “Dynamic Multi-Agent Participation and Orchestration in Live Calls,” covering proprietary orchestration technology designed to enable multiple specialized artificial intelligence (“AI”) agents to work together within a single live conversation.

Previously, a SalesCloser conversation operated through a single AI agent. The new patent application covers the coordination technology that allows multiple specialized AI agents to take part in a single live call. Under the architecture described in the filing, a specialist agent can join mid-conversation when its expertise is needed, the system coordinates when each agent should contribute, and agents take turns to avoid talking over one another or the human participant. From the customer’s perspective, the interaction remains a single, continuous conversation.

The architecture is intended to support multi-agent sales calls, so that prospects do not need to navigate separate, fragmented interactions with different bots. Users of the platform can introduce specialized AI agents into a live call to address complex inquiries in real time, including technical specifications, pricing options, compliance checks, or product demonstrations tailored to local markets. This multi-agent collaboration allows handoffs to the right specialist without the buyer leaving the call.

The multi-agent participation and orchestration capabilities described in the application have been live on the SalesCloser platform since September 25, 2026. SalesCloser plans to continue development and performance optimization of the technology, and will provide updates as further milestones are achieved.

The filing represents the Company’s eleventh U.S. patent application, bringing its intellectual property portfolio to three granted patents and eight filed applications. While earlier filings addressed proprietary capabilities within individual communication channels and keeping a conversation continuous as it moves between channels, this filing extends coverage to real-time coordination among multiple autonomous agents. The Company’s patent strategy focuses on protecting concrete execution infrastructure rather than abstract concepts, establishing defensible intellectual property as enterprise adoption advances toward multi-agent AI environments.¹

“Enterprise sales conversations are rarely one-dimensional. In traditional sales environments, closing complex deals requires bringing in sales engineers, product specialists, and commercial negotiators,” said Ali Tajskandar, CEO of SalesCloser. “Our vision has always been to replicate the full capability of a human sales team. This patent application seeks to protect the core orchestration infrastructure designed to allow multiple specialized AI agents to collaborate in real time on a live call without interrupting each other or disrupting the buyer’s experience. It represents an essential step forward as we build out next-generation autonomous sales workflows.”

The application was submitted to the USPTO on October 16, 2026, and, as with any newly filed patent application, formal examination has not yet begun. There is no assurance as to whether or when any claims will be allowed, or whether or when a patent may issue.

Conclusion of Services Agreement

Separately, the Company announced that its investor relations technologies and services agreement dated March 26, 2026 (“Services Agreement”) with CapitaLynx Ltd will conclude effective November 30, 2026. During the engagement, the Company completed its Qualifying Transaction resulting in it beginning to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange, and successfully listed on the OTCQB and Frankfurt Open Market, alongside other important advancements to its investor relations and capital markets program. The Company wishes to thank CapitaLynx for its services and contributions during the engagement.

Building the operational foundation for next-generation intelligence across hotel environments

SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — YYForce Inc. (Nasdaq: YFOR) (“YYForce” or the “Company”), an AI-enabled workforce management and integrated facility management provider, today outlined its vision to develop an integrated platform connecting human expertise, artificial intelligence, robotics and smart-building systems. The Company’s long-term ambition is to establish operational infrastructure that could support future superintelligence applications in hospitality and the built environment, if such capabilities become available.

The planned platform is intended to help hotel operators coordinate staffing, service delivery, robotic tasks and building performance through a common operational layer. YYForce aims to connect information from hotel systems and IoT sensors with workflows that enable people, robots and connected equipment to respond to operational needs.

Building Operational Infrastructure for Future Superintelligence
YYForce’s proposed approach is intended to bring together human judgment and service expertise, AI-assisted forecasting and planning, robotics and humanoid systems for suitable physical tasks, and IoT-enabled monitoring and control. Development priorities include data integration, task coordination, outcome verification and human supervision.

For example, as envisioned, a connected workflow could potentially use checkout information to schedule housekeeping, allocate suitable robotic support and adjust room lighting and cooling within approved comfort limits. Completion records and sensor feedback would potentially help operators verify room readiness and assess operational performance.

“Our ambition is to give increasingly capable AI a practical way to understand and support real hotel operations,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YYForce. “By connecting people, robotics and building systems, we aim to turn operational information into coordinated action and measurable results. Over time, we believe this infrastructure could support future superintelligence applications, while keeping operational authority and accountability clearly defined.”

Connecting Smart Building Upgrades with the Superintelligence Vision
As part of this direction, YYForce plans to integrate hotel upgrade solutions involving occupancy and environmental sensors, lighting controls, temperature management, equipment monitoring and maintenance workflows. The objective is to help properties improve guest comfort, reduce avoidable energy consumption and respond earlier to equipment issues.

The Company intends to support hotels’ progress toward lower-carbon operations through energy monitoring, operational optimisation and performance measurement. Smart-building upgrades alone do not establish net-zero carbon status. Any future net-zero claims would require a defined emissions boundary, verified performance and appropriate measures addressing energy supply and remaining emissions.

A Measured Development Path Toward Future Superintelligence Applications
YYForce’s proposed development approach would begin with defined hospitality workflows, establish performance baselines and evaluate results before expanding automation. Intended evaluation areas include service completion, room readiness, workforce productivity, energy use and reliability. Improvements would be tested before wider deployment, with human escalation and operating limits appropriate to each application.

The superintelligence vision is a long-term strategic ambition. YYForce is not announcing that it has developed artificial general intelligence or artificial superintelligence. The near-term focus is an integrated operational platform; any future use of superintelligent systems would depend on advances in underlying AI capabilities and successful technical and operational validation.

About YYForce
YYForce Inc. (Nasdaq: YFOR) is an AI-enabled workforce management and integrated facility management provider headquartered in Singapore and operating across Asia and beyond. Through its workforce technology and IFM businesses, YYForce provides workforce deployment, management and facility services solutions across multiple service industries.

The Company’s workforce platform, YY Circle, supports workforce deployment and management across sectors including hospitality, food and beverage, retail and other service industries.
