Hong Kong, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Click Holdings Limited (“Click Holdings” or “Click” or “we” or “us”, NASDAQ: CLIK) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), a leader in human resources (“HR”) and senior care solutions in Hong Kong, today announced the letter to the Shareholders from its CEO, Mr. Jeffrey Chan.

Revenue surged 62% to HK$135.2 million. Net income swung to HK$14.6 million profit. Every segment hit a record high.

Dear Shareholders,

The year ended June 30, 2026 was a defining year for Click Holdings. Revenue surged 62% to HK$135.2 million, more than three times the level of two years earlier. Professional more than doubled. Nursing grew 63%. Logistics grew 35%. Gross profit rose 69% to a new high. Net income attributable to equity holders swung to a profit of HK$14.6 million, from a loss of HK$7.9 million. The full results were published yesterday with our Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2026.

A year of records

Our Group revenue reached HK$135.2 million, up 61.9% from HK$83.5 million in the year ended June 30, 2025, and more than three times the HK$44.1 million reported for the year ended December 31, 2023. Every segment set a new revenue high:

Nursing solution services: HK$56.8 million, up 62.6%, and now 42% of Group revenue.

Logistics and other solution services: HK$42.4 million, up 35.5%.

Professional solution services: HK$36.0 million, up 108.2%, more than doubling on the back of a new acquisition.

That growth was delivered in hours as well as dollars. Logistics service hours rose from 206,519 to 354,806 and then to 476,644. Nursing service hours rose from 110,871 to 322,211 and then to 465,440. Together, these two segments delivered about 942,000 service hours in the year ended June 30, 2026, against about 677,000 in the prior year and about 317,000 in the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in nursing hours includes Care U, which was consolidated after January 2025.

Profitability followed. Net income attributable to equity holders was HK$14.60 million, a new high, against a loss of HK$7.93 million in the year ended June 30, 2025 and HK$6.26 million in the year ended December 31, 2023. Basic and diluted earnings per share were HK$1.88 (US$0.24), against a loss of HK$12.55 (US$1.61) in the prior year. Gross profit reached a new high of HK$21.6 million, and the Group gross margin improved to 16.0% from 15.3%.

Nursing: building the premium private-case platform

Nursing remains the heart of our strategy. We continued to build our private-case business with premium services, and during the year and up to the date of this report we rolled out new offerings, including premium escort services and rehabilitation services. Under the Community Care Service Voucher scheme, we are one of the most comprehensive service providers in the market.

The path from here is deliberate. We will keep shifting the mix toward higher-margin private cases, pursue selective mergers and acquisitions, and extend the platform into Mainland China. The combination of CCSV scale and a growing private-case franchise is how we intend to compound both volume and margin.

Logistics: growth that funds the Group

Logistics maintained a high growth rate, and that momentum is extending into 2026/27. We continued to win business from established names in Hong Kong, and the segment remains a reliable generator of income that fuels investment in nursing. Scale in logistics is not a distraction from our senior-care strategy. It is part of how we fund it.

Professional services: acquisition-led growth

Professional solution services more than doubled, with a new acquisition contributing a substantial part of that growth. We will continue to look for mergers and acquisitions in high-margin professional services, where the return on capital and the fit with our existing client base are both clear.

Disciplined execution

That growth was delivered with discipline. Despite completing acquisitions and expanding the business substantially in the year ended June 30, 2026, we did so without increasing our debt level, in a period of persistently high interest rates. That reflects a deliberate approach to capital allocation: grow where the return is clear, fund it without stretching the balance sheet, and keep the cost base under control as the Group scales. It is evidence that we can allocate capital prudently, adapt to the rate environment, and execute the growth strategy in a sustainable way.

We will keep that discipline as we grow. The priority is to improve operational efficiency and maintain financial discipline while we expand the service range, pursue selective acquisitions, and enter new geographies. Growth that is funded and executed this way is the growth that lasts, and it is the standard we intend to hold.

Outlook

The outlook is bright, and the work to get there is already under way. We are putting sustained effort into expanding our silver economy platform under Care U. That includes building out a rehabilitation centre, broadening our premium private-case offerings, and extending our geographical footprint into Mainland China and other markets where demand for quality senior care is rising. During the year and up to the date of this statement we have already rolled out premium escort services and rehabilitation services, and we will continue to widen the range of services we offer so that families can find a fuller set of care under one roof.

Growth will come from both organic expansion and mergers and acquisitions. We will keep shifting the nursing mix toward higher-margin private cases while remaining one of the most comprehensive providers under the CCSV scheme. We will continue to look for selective acquisitions that add capability, capacity, or a new geography, and we will do the same in high-margin professional services, where the return on capital and the fit with our existing client base are clear. Logistics remains a reliable generator of income that funds this investment, and its growth rate is extending into 2026/27.

All three segments are expanding. Nursing is our growth engine, logistics continues to scale, and professional services returns to strong growth through a focused acquisition. The combination of a wider service range, a larger private-case franchise, selective mergers and acquisitions, and geographical expansion is how we intend to compound both volume and margin from here.

Share capital and valuation

We believe that our shares are trading at a level that does not reflect the operating progress and the earnings power demonstrated in the year ended June 30, 2026. Consistent with that view, and as of the date of this statement, our Company does not currently intend to issue ordinary shares under its effective Form F-3 registration statement while the shares trade at these levels. Any future issuance decision will be made by our Company’s board (“Board”) in light of our capital needs, market conditions, and the interests of existing shareholders.

Separately, the reverse share consolidation mandate approved by our shareholders is a precautionary authorization. It gives the Board the flexibility to act if market or listing conditions make it appropriate. As of the date of this statement, we have no timetable for exercising that mandate, and no decision to do so has been made.

These statements reflect our management’s current intentions and beliefs as of the date of this statement. They are not commitments, and our Board retains full discretion to act in the interests of our Company and our shareholders if circumstances change. Any such decision would be announced in accordance with applicable disclosure requirements.

Acknowledgements

None of this happens without our people. I thank our workers, nurses, and professional and logistics teams for the hours they delivered and the standard they held. I also thank our shareholders for their continued support as we build Click Holdings into a scaled platform for senior care and workforce solutions.

New assays support higher grades and substantially greater mineralized thicknesses than the initial Exploration Target

OTTAWA, Ontario, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Viridian Metals Inc. (CSE: VRDN) (OTCQB: VIRMF) (“Viridian” or the “Company”) has intersected 15.05 metres at 1.09% CuEq within 40.8 metres at 0.63% CuEq, approximately 1.5 kilometres south of previous drilling at its Kraken copper-nickel-cobalt project in Labrador. The results are the first assays from the Company’s southern step-out drilling program.

Highlights

• 1.2 km step-out hole VKS26-062: Intersected 40.8 metres at 0.63% CuEq, including 15.05 metres at 1.09% CuEq.
• 1.5 km step-out hole VKS26-060: Intersected 23.0 metres at 0.44% CuEq, including 10.85 metres at 0.72% CuEq.
• Greater mineralized thicknesses confirmed: Both holes intersected mineralization from the top of bedrock to end of hole. Intercepts exceeding 30 metres, more than three times the initial Exploration Target’s average thickness, support Viridian’s model of a thicker mineralized system
• Higher-grade zones emerging: Both holes intersected grades exceeding 1.5% CuEq at the bedrock contact, supporting the potential for localized higher-grade pods within the broader mineralized system.
• Assays pending from a further 2.5 km: Results are pending from additional southern step-out holes, including visually identified sulphide intervals of 41.8m and 47.3m.

Tyrell Sutherland, President and CEO of Viridian Metals, commented:

“Our first Exploration Target was built around an average mineralized thickness of 8.6 metres. We are regularly seeing intervals of 30 to 50 metres, with locally higher grades, at massive step-outs along Kraken Main. These results reinforce our working model of a substantially thicker mineralized system than previous drilling suggests. Both holes ended in mineralization, so these results represent only a base case for the thickness of the mineralized horizon.

“These first assays come from two of the shorter visually identified sulphide intervals in our southern step-out program. Results are still pending from intervals of 41.8 and 47.3 metres, along with more holes extending another 2.5 kilometres south. If comparable grades and thicknesses persist along this trend, the implications for the scale of Kraken Main are substantial.”

Reported intervals represent downhole lengths; true thicknesses are not yet known. Intercept lengths and grades have been rounded to one decimal place.

Southern Step-Out Drilling Supports Greater Mineralized Thicknesses

Viridian’s October 2, 2026, news release reported visually identified sulphide mineralization from eight successfully drilled holes spanning approximately 3 kilometres along the southern Kraken Main Zone. The two holes reported today correspond to previously disclosed patchy net-textured sulphide intervals measuring 33.2 from VKS26-062 and 22.3 from VKS26-060 metres (see news release dated October 2, 2026, available on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and website at www.viridianmetals.com).

The new assays (Table 1) confirm that copper-nickel-cobalt mineralization extends beyond the visually distinctive patchy net-textured sulphide intervals. Both holes remained mineralized to the end of drilling, with the 40.8-metre interval in VKS26-062 extending beyond the previously reported 33.2-metre patchy net-textured interval.

Mineralization began immediately beneath unconsolidated overburden measuring 9.8 metres in VKS26-062 and 14.4 metres in VKS26-060.

The 2026 drill program was designed to establish the continuity of near-surface mineralization across Kraken Main and demonstrate consistent mineralized thicknesses exceeding 30 metres, more than three times the 8.6-metre average thickness identified by the initial Exploration Target (see news release dated September 15, 2026, available on the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca and website at www.viridianmetals.com). The latest results complement the previously reported 50.15-metre mineralized interval at Kraken Main, providing further evidence of broad mineralization across widely separated portions of the Main Zone.

VKS26-060 was drilled from higher on the hillside than VKS26-062. Based on the interpreted orientation of the mineralized horizon, extending VKS26-060 could intersect additional mineralization beneath the reported interval, rather than simply repeating the mineralized section encountered in VKS26-062.

The 2026 drill program focused on near-surface mineralization, with holes generally limited to approximately 50 metres, sufficient to test the anticipated 30-metre mineralized horizon. Across the eight southern step-out holes, seven encountered mineralization immediately beneath overburden and five remained mineralized to the end of hole, leaving the full thickness of the mineralized horizon unconstrained and establishing the 30-metre model as a base case for the potential scale of Kraken Main.

The broad, near-surface intercepts establish a base case for the scale of potential open-pit development of Kraken Main, with significant room for expansion. Mineralization remains open along strike and down dip, and the full extent of the system has yet to be defined.

*True thickness of the reported mineralized intervals is not yet known. Reported interval lengths represent downhole core lengths and should not be interpreted as true thickness.

Intercepts are calculated using a 0.1% CuEq¹ cut-off grade corresponding to approximately $10USD NSR with no more than 1.5 m of internal dilution. Viridian has completed specific gravity measurements and full multi-element geochemical analysis on all samples to support ongoing characterization of the Kraken system.

Drilling Update

The two holes reported in this release were prioritized for laboratory analysis. Additional samples from holes VKS26-055 to VKS26-058, VKS25-026E and VKS25-052E, which were drilled between these step-outs and Viridian’s earlier 2026 drilling have been delivered to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (“Activation Labs”) in Ancaster, Ontario, with assays pending.

Results also remain outstanding from holes spaced approximately 500 metres apart along a further 2.5 kilometres of Kraken Main to the south, including previously reported patchy net-textured sulphide intervals of 41.8 and 47.3 metres. Laboratory assays are required to establish the grades of these intervals.

Viridian has completed 27 drill holes during its 2026 exploration program. Two drill rigs are currently extending holes VKS25-052 and VKS25-046, with both rigs expected to remain on site through the end of October.

The Company anticipates reporting additional assay results approximately every three weeks through the end of 2026 and is targeting an updated Exploration Target in January 2027 incorporating results from the 2026 drilling program.

QA/QC

On receipt from the drill site BTW-sized drill core was systematically logged for geological attributes, photographed and sampled at Viridian’s Core Shack at Kraken Camp. Sample lengths as small as 0.30 m were used to isolate features of interest, but most samples within moderate to strong mineralization were 0.5-1.0 m in length. Core was cut in half lengthwise along a pre-determined line, with one half (same half, consistently, dictated by cut line where present) collected for analysis and one half stored as a record. Standard reference materials and blanks were inserted by Viridian personnel at regular intervals into the sample stream. Bagged samples were sealed with security tags to ensure integrity during transport. They were delivered by expeditor to Activation Labs’ facility in Ancaster, ON.

Activation Labs is independent of Viridian and accredited to ISO/IEC 17025. Samples were dried, crushed (< 7 kg) up to 80% passing 2 mm using riffle split (250 g) and pulverized to 95% passing 105 µm (code RX1). A four-acid near-total digest with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) finish was used for 35-element analysis on 25 g sample pulps (code 1F2). Samples that were over the analyses limit for Co, Cu and Ni were reanalyzed using sodium peroxide fusion ICP (code 8-peroxide).

Collaboration Expected to Raise Gross Margin on Transitioned Production from 4% to Over 19% by Reducing Production Costs More Than 12%

BELVIDERE, NJ, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Edible Garden AG Incorporated (“Edible Garden” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: EDBL, EDBLW), a leader in controlled environment agriculture (CEA), organic and sustainable produce, and developer of the Zero-Waste Inspired^® mission and Farm-to-Formula^® platform, today announced that it has entered into a commercial supply agreement and strategic partnership with Caney Fork Farms, a certified organic, regenerative farm in Carthage, Tennessee. The agreement establishes Caney Fork Farms as an important production and supply partner for Edible Garden. Under the agreement, selected agricultural production activities will transition to Caney Fork Farms, providing Edible Garden with a more flexible supply model that can scale with customer demand.

The collaboration is expected to improve Edible Garden’s operating efficiency and reduce certain resources required to support internally managed growing activities within its core herb business. The transition begins in the fourth quarter of 2026 and is expected to be substantially complete during 2027. Once it is fully implemented, the Company expects it to reduce production costs associated with the transitioned growing activities by more than 12%, raising gross margin on that production from approximately 4% to over 19%. Edible Garden believes these improvements can support stronger margins, better operating leverage and continued progress toward profitability.

“This agreement represents an important evolution in Edible Garden’s operating model and sustainability strategy,” said Jim Kras, Chief Executive Officer of Edible Garden. “Caney Fork Farms brings exceptional knowledge of certified organic and regenerative agriculture, together with a commitment to scientific research and environmental stewardship that closely aligns with our mission.”

Kras continued, “By combining Caney Fork Farms’ regenerative growing platform with Edible Garden’s controlled environment agriculture expertise, retail relationships, national distribution capabilities and patented GreenThumb 2.0 technology, we believe we can create a more efficient and scalable supply network. This collaboration is expected to strengthen the economics of our core business while supporting our continued progress toward profitability.”

The partnership is expected to provide Edible Garden with several strategic and financial benefits, including:

• Lower production costs: Reducing certain labor, energy, maintenance and production expenses associated with Edible Garden’s existing internally managed growing operations, with production costs for the transitioned activities expected to decline by more than 12%.
• Gross-margin expansion: Expanding the use of a more flexible, variable-cost production model designed to provide greater cost predictability. The anticipated lower production costs described above are expected to raise gross margin on the transitioned production from approximately 4% to over 19%.
• Improved operating leverage: Positioning Edible Garden to support higher sales volumes without a proportional increase in operating expenses.
• Greater operating flexibility: Enabling production volumes to scale in response to retailer demand, product mix and seasonal requirements.
• Expanded geographic reach: Adding a strategically located production partner in Tennessee to complement Edible Garden’s existing national growing and distribution network.
• Enhanced sustainability platform: Combining Edible Garden’s Zero-Waste Inspired® approach and CEA heritage with Caney Fork Farms’ expertise in regenerative and certified organic agriculture.
• New product-development opportunities: Establishing a foundation for the commercialization of regeneratively grown crops, functional ingredients and innovative Farm-to-Formula® products.

The parties intend to explore opportunities beyond the initial commercial supply agreement, including the development and commercialization of a regeneratively grown culinary herbs program, functional ingredients and other agricultural products for Edible Garden’s retail customers and its expanding Farm-to-Formula® platform. The transition will be implemented in phases designed to support uninterrupted customer service and maintain Edible Garden’s standards for food safety, product quality, freshness and fulfillment. Edible Garden plans to utilize its GreenThumb 2.0 technology platform to support demand planning, production coordination, inventory management and traceability across the expanded supply network.

“This partnership brings together two distinct but highly complementary approaches to the future of agriculture,” Kras added. “Edible Garden has built its business around controlled environment agriculture, localized production and technology-enabled supply-chain management. Caney Fork Farms is demonstrating how regenerative practices can improve soil health, strengthen agricultural ecosystems and contribute to climate resilience. Together, we believe we can create meaningful commercial value while advancing a more sustainable food system.”

Edible Garden expects the agreement to begin contributing to operational efficiency as implementation progresses. The Company’s expectations for production cost and gross margin improvement are based on its current projections and the terms of the agreement. The financial impact will depend on the timing and scale of implementation, customer demand, product mix and other operating factors.

Greater Cincinnati students gained hands-on experience across a variety of trades as the region works to strengthen its skilled workforce pipeline

CINCINNATI, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hillman Solutions Corp. (Nasdaq: HLMN) (“Hillman”), a leading provider of hardware and related products, partnered with FC Cincinnati to host the second annual Trade School Discovery Day at TQL Stadium. The event brought together approximately over 100 students from Cincinnati Public Schools and Winton Woods City School District for a day of hands-on career exploration, introducing them to opportunities in the skilled trades and connecting them with local industry professionals.

The event comes at a time of significant opportunity and need within the region’s skilled trades. According to the Associated General Contractors of America, construction employment in the Cincinnati metro area grew by 11% between June 2024 and June 2025, adding 5,800 jobs and bringing total construction employment to approximately 60,000 workers. Despite that growth, the Workforce Council of Southwest Ohio (the “Council”) reported in June of 2026 that the local construction industry continues to face a persistent gap between demand for workers and the number of people entering and remaining in these careers. The Council identified limited access to hands-on learning and unclear pathways from school to employment among the challenges affecting the region’s talent pipeline.

The Trade School Discovery Day aims to help address these challenges by exposing students to potential career pathways and providing opportunities to learn directly from professionals working in these industries.

Throughout the day, students participated in interactive sessions and hands-on demonstrations led by local skilled-trade professionals and community partners, including:

• Construction: The Hillman Group, DWK Construction and 50 Grit Flooring
• Roofing and Restoration: American Home Tech
• Automotive: Jeff Wyler Automotive Family
• Culinary: Levy, FC Cincinnati’s food partner
• Plumbing: Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup

“At Hillman, our mission is to empower those who fix, build and create, and that includes helping inspire the next generation of professionals,” said Lauren Edwards, Vice President of Marketing at The Hillman Group. “As demand for skilled workers continues to grow, it’s important that young people understand the rewarding career paths available to them. Through our partnership with FC Cincinnati and the support of local trade professionals, we’re proud to provide hands-on experiences that help students discover new possibilities for their futures.”

“FC Cincinnati is proud to partner with Hillman on Trade School Discovery Day and help young people across our community explore the many opportunities available to them,” said Kate Solomon, Chief Youth and Community Officer. “TQL Stadium is a place where we want young people to be inspired, whether that’s through soccer or experiences like this that can open their eyes to a future they may not have considered. We’re grateful to Hillman and all of the participating organizations for investing their time and expertise in the next generation of Cincinnati’s workforce.”

Now in its second year, Trade School Discovery Day reflects Hillman and FC Cincinnati’s shared commitment to investing in the Greater Cincinnati community and helping build a stronger workforce for the future.

• Expanding on the unprecedented final results previously reported from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial, the exploratory subgroup analyses showed RASONQUE consistently provided an overall survival benefit compared with chemotherapy across key subgroups, including patients with no identified tumor RAS mutation​
• Findings presented as late-breaking abstract during Proffered Paper session

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Revolution Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: RVMD), a global, commercial-stage oncology company dedicated to discovering, developing and delivering innovative medicines for patients with RAS-addicted cancers, today announced that exploratory subgroup analyses from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 trial were presented as a late-breaking abstract at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Congress 2026 in Madrid, Spain. The analyses showed that RASONQUE (daraxonrasib) consistently provided an overall survival (OS) benefit compared with chemotherapy across all evaluated RAS genotype subgroups among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC), including those with no identified tumor RAS mutation. The OS benefit with RASONQUE was also maintained across preselected standard-of-care (SOC) chemotherapy regimens and prior treatment settings, including early metastatic recurrence following perioperative therapy.

“For people living with metastatic pancreatic cancer, progression after initial treatment can be devastating, with limited options and a poor prognosis,” said Zev A. Wainberg, M.D., Professor of Medicine at UCLA and co-director of the UCLA GI Oncology Program, RASolute 302 investigator and presenter of the data at ESMO. “The analysis presented at ESMO reinforces the unprecedented and statistically significant survival benefit of daraxonrasib observed in the overall study population of the RASolute 302 trial. The overall survival benefit was seen consistently across all evaluated tumor RAS profiles, underscoring the potential of daraxonrasib to benefit the broad population of patients with this devastating disease.” ​

In the RASolute 302 trial, patients were randomized to receive either RASONQUE 300 mg once daily (n=248) or investigator’s choice of standard chemotherapy (n=252). These exploratory subgroup analyses were derived from the prespecified primary analysis of RASolute 302, conducted at the February 10, 2026 data cutoff, which had a median follow-up of 8.5 months. In the previously reported primary analysis, median OS was 13.2 months with RASONQUE versus 6.7 months with chemotherapy (hazard ratio [HR] 0.40; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.30–0.53). For these exploratory analyses, across the RAS subgroups evaluated, the OS HR was 0.49 (95% CI: 0.33–0.74) for G12D mutations, 0.32 (95% CI: 0.19–0.54) for G12V mutations, 0.61 (95% CI: 0.29–1.30) for G12R mutations, 0.37 (95% CI: 0.09–1.44) for RAS Q61 mutations, and 0.43 (95% CI: 0.09–1.98) for tumors with no identified RAS mutation.

The analyses also showed a consistent OS benefit with RASONQUE across preselected SOC chemotherapy regimens, including gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel (GnP; HR 0.45; 95% CI: 0.32–0.65), pooled modified FOLFIRINOX/FOLFOX (HR 0.46; 95% CI: 0.23–0.95) and nanoliposomal irinotecan plus fluorouracil and leucovorin (NAL-IRI + 5-FU/LV; HR 0.32; 95% CI: 0.18–0.58). ​

The OS improvement was also seen among patients treated with RASONQUE compared with chemotherapy across prior treatment settings, including metastatic disease diagnosed less than six months after the last dose of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy (HR 0.36; 95% CI: 0.17–0.75) and one prior line of therapy for metastatic disease (HR 0.43; 95% CI: 0.32–0.58).​

“These exploratory analyses across key subgroups from RASolute 302 reinforce RASONQUE as a potential new standard of care for eligible adults with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma,” said Alan Sandler, M.D., chief development officer of Revolution Medicines. “They also support our broader clinical development program, which is evaluating targeted approaches across RAS variants and treatment settings with the goal of changing the treatment paradigm in RAS-addicted cancers where there is a significant unmet medical need. With RASONQUE approved in the United States, the European Medicines Agency’s Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use recent positive opinion and regulatory reviews underway in other countries, we remain committed to expanding access to RASONQUE for eligible patients globally.”

The presentation (LBA82), titled “Daraxonrasib, a RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibitor vs chemotherapy in previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (mPDAC): Additional subgroup analyses from the Phase 3 RASolute 302 study,” was delivered by Dr. Wainberg during the Proffered Paper 1: Gastrointestinal Tumour, Upper Digestive session on October 23, 2026, at the ESMO Congress in Madrid, Spain.​ The primary analysis from RASolute 302 was presented at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting with simultaneous publication in The New England Journal of Medicine. 

About Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma, or PDAC, is the most common form of pancreatic cancer and among the most challenging malignancies. RAS, a key growth control switch in human cells, is the main driver of pancreatic cancer, which is characterized by excessive RAS signaling. Each year, approximately 500,000 people globally are diagnosed with PDAC and it is the seventh leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide.^1,2
​
Because early-stage pancreatic cancer often causes few or no symptoms, approximately 80% of patients are diagnosed after the disease has spread, when treatment options are more limited.³ For patients with metastatic PDAC, the five-year relative survival rate is approximately 3% worldwide.⁴

About the RASolute 302 Clinical Trial

RASolute 302 (NCT06625320) was a global, randomized Phase 3 registrational clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RASONQUE as a monotherapy in patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In the trial, patients were randomized to receive either an oral dose of 300 mg RASONQUE once daily or investigator’s choice of four different cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens, which represented standard of care across the globe. The trial enrolled patients with metastatic PDAC with RAS G12 mutations (such as G12D, G12V, and G12R), RAS G13 or Q61 mutations, as well as patients with no identified tumor RAS mutations.​

The primary endpoints of the RASolute 302 trial were progression-free survival (PFS), as assessed by a Blinded Independent Central Review according to RECIST 1.1, and overall survival (OS) in patients with tumors harboring RAS G12 mutations. Secondary endpoints included PFS and OS in all enrolled patients (the intent-to-treat population) encompassing patients with and without identified tumor RAS mutations, as well as objective response rate, duration of response, and patient-reported quality of life.​

About RASONQUE™ (daraxonrasib)

RASONQUE (daraxonrasib) is an oral, RAS(ON) multi-selective, noncovalent, tri-complex inhibitor (TCI), approved by the U.S. FDA for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) who have received at least one prior systemic therapy or who are not candidates for multiagent systemic therapy.⁵ RASONQUE is being investigated through a global Phase 3 registrational program in patients with PDAC and metastatic RAS mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Outside the U.S., RASONQUE is an investigational agent that has not been approved by any regulatory authority.​

U.S. INDICATION

RASONQUE is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma who have received at least one prior systemic therapy or who are not candidates for multiagent systemic therapy.

Extends Exchange Election Deadline to November 15 to Facilitate Canadian Shareholder Participation

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HydroGraph Clean Power Inc. (CSE: HG) (OTCQB: HGRAF) (“HydroGraph” or the “Company”) today reminded its Canadian shareholders of the steps required to defer Canadian capital gains tax in connection with its proposed corporate redomicile transactions (the “Redomicile Transactions”).

Extension of deadline for the election option for exchangeable shares

The Company announced that it has extended the election deadline to November 15, 2026 to give shareholders more time to act. The Redomicile Transactions will be considered at the Special Meeting of Securityholders on October 29, 2026.

KEY CANADIAN SHAREHOLDER ACTIONS — SUMMARY

If you hold HydroGraph shares in a registered or tax-exempt account — TFSA, RRSP, RRIF, LIRA, LIF or similar — you do not need to do anything in respect of these particular shares. These accounts are exempt of capital gains tax and are not eligible for Exchangeable Shares.

If you are a Canadian resident and do not hold your shares in a tax-exempt account  — and you want to defer capital gains tax in respect of such shares, there are two steps. Both are required. Completing only one will not achieve the deferral.

Step 1 — Elect to receive Exchangeable Shares by November 15, 2026. Instead of receiving  Hydrograph Inc. “New U.S. Parent” common stock, you can elect to receive Exchangeable Shares of HydroGraph ExchangeCo Ltd. How you make this election depends on how you hold your shares (see below). The deadline is 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on November 15, 2026 — but your broker’s internal cut-off is earlier, so contact them now.

Step 2 — File the joint tax election in 2027. If you elect Exchangeable Shares, you must also submit the information needed for a joint tax election under subsection 85(1) or 85(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (and, if applicable to you, the applicable provisions of the Taxation Act (Quebec)). The information for the completion of the election forms will be submitted by you through a dedicated portal on the Company’s website.  You will be advised of the date on which you can start submitting that information and the applicable deadline in 2027.

If you do nothing: You will automatically receive Hydrograph Inc. “New U.S. Parent” common stock. This is treated as a “Deemed Election” and is a fully taxable transaction for Canadian federal income tax purposes.

Shareholders should consult their own financial, legal and tax advisors before deciding.

HOW TO MAKE THE ELECTION

If you hold shares through a broker or bank (most shareholders)

The large majority of HydroGraph shareholders hold their shares beneficially through a broker, bank, trust company or other financial intermediary. If that is you and you want Exchangeable Shares, contact your broker or intermediary immediately and instruct them to submit the Letter of Transmittal and Consideration Election Form on your behalf.

If you have not received those instructions from your broker, contact your broker directly. Brokers set their own internal deadlines, which are significantly earlier than the Company’s extended November 15,2026 deadline. Follow your broker’s instructions exactly.

If you are a registered shareholder

Complete, sign and return the Letter of Transmittal and Consideration Election Form, together with any physical share certificates, to the Depositary, Endeavor Trust Corporation. The form must be received by Endeavor Trust Corporation no later than 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) on November 15, 2026.

MORE ON THE JOINT TAX ELECTION

Electing Exchangeable Shares is only the first half of the tax deferral. To actually defer the Canadian income tax on capital gains that would otherwise arise on the disposition of your HydroGraph Common Shares, you must also complete a joint tax election under subsection 85(1) or 85(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) (and, if applicable to you, the applicable provisions of the Taxation Act (Quebec)).  The information for the completion of the election forms will be submitted by you through a dedicated portal on the Company’s website.  You will be advised of the date on which you can start submitting that information and the applicable deadline in 2027.

Full details of the election and the tax consequences are set out in the Management Information Circular dated September 16, 2026.

KEY DATES

October 29, 2026 — Special Meeting of Securityholders.

November 15, 2026, 5:00 p.m. (Vancouver time) — Deadline to elect Exchangeable Shares. Broker deadlines are earlier.

• Dynamic changes in PD-L1 expression on circulating cancer-associated macrophage-like cells (CAML) were significantly associated with progression-free survival and overall survival following immunotherapies including the BriaCell regimen
• Findings from a prospective pooled analysis of 111 heavily pretreated metastatic breast cancer patients support further evaluation of circulating CAML PD-L1 as a potential biomarker of clinical benefit from immunotherapies
• Pooled analysis includes patients from multiple studies, including BriaCell’s earlier Phase 1/2 Bria-IMT™ study

PHILADELPHIA and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BriaCell Therapeutics Corp. (Nasdaq: BCTX, BCTXL) (TSX: BCT) (“BriaCell” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel immunotherapies to transform cancer care, today announced the presentation of clinical biomarker findings from a prospective pooled analysis of patients with metastatic breast cancer (“MBC”) treated with immune based therapies including the BriaCell regimen at the European Society for Medical Oncology (“ESMO”) Congress 2026, taking place October 23-27, 2026 in Madrid, Spain. The data shown is pooled from several studies including BriaCell’s Phase 1/2 Bria-IMT study.

The analysis evaluated changes in programmed death-ligand 1 (“PD-L1”) expression on circulating cancer-associated macrophage-like cells (“CAMLs”) before and after initiation of immunotherapy and their association with progression-free survival (“PFS”) and overall survival (“OS”). The findings suggest that changes in CAML PD-L1 following treatment may provide information regarding clinical outcomes that are not captured by a single pretreatment measurement.

“We are encouraged by these findings showing that dynamic changes in a circulating immune biomarker were associated with progression-free and overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer treated with immunotherapies,” stated Dr. William V. Williams, BriaCell’s President and CEO. “These results support further study of CAML PD-L1 as a potential tool for understanding treatment response and identifying patients most likely to benefit from immunotherapy, including the Bria-IMT regimen.”

Poster #4506 – Monitoring Circulating Cancer Associated Macrophage-like Cell PD-L1 Predicts Clinical Outcomes in Metastatic Breast Cancer Treated with Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

The prospective, multi-institutional pooled analysis included 111 patients with MBC who had received at least one prior line of therapy and were treated with pembrolizumab, retifanlimab, atezolizumab, or nivolumab. Some also received combination therapy with the Bria-IMT regimen. Patients had a median age of 59 years, with a range of 32 to 77 years, and had received a median of two prior metastatic lines of therapy, with a range of one to 13.

Among the 111 patients, 39% were estrogen receptor-positive, 31% were progesterone receptor-positive, 5% were HER2-positive, and 60% had triple-negative breast cancer.

Peripheral blood samples were collected prior to initiation of immunotherapy, approximately 37 days after initiation of immunotherapy (“T1”), and approximately three months after initiation of immunotherapy (“T2”). CAMLs were isolated from blood samples, and PD-L1 expression was categorized as low or high.

Key findings included:

• At baseline, CAML PD-L1 was not significantly associated with either PFS or OS.
• At T1, approximately 37 days following initiation of immunotherapy, CAML PD-L1 was significantly associated with PFS (HR=1.86; p=0.0276), but not OS (HR=1.28; p=0.5663).
• At T2, approximately three months following initiation of immunotherapy, CAML PD-L1 was significantly associated with both PFS (HR=2.73; p=0.0028) and OS (HR=2.27; p=0.0420).
• Pretreatment tumor PD-L1 combined positive score (“CPS”) of 10 or greater was not significantly associated with improved PFS or OS in the pooled population.

“These findings suggest that monitoring dynamic PD-L1 changes in circulating tumor-associated immune cells following initiation of immunotherapy may provide information regarding clinical benefit in patients with MBC and are consistent with findings reported in the Bria-IMT Phase 2 study,” stated Giuseppe Del Priore, MD, MPH, BriaCell’s Chief Medical Officer. “Further studies are needed to validate CAML PD-L1 as a predictive biomarker.”

About BriaCell’s Pivotal Phase 3 Clinical Study of Bria-IMT Combination Regimen in MBC patients

BriaCell’s pivotal Phase 3 study of Bria-IMT plus an immune check point inhibitor (CPI) in metastatic breast cancer is ongoing.

The study’s primary endpoint is overall survival, comparing patients treated with the Bria-IMT combination regimen with patients receiving physician’s choice treatment. The planned interim analysis will be conducted following 144 patient deaths. Positive results from the pivotal Phase 3 study could support a potential application for marketing approval of Bria-IMT in metastatic breast cancer. BriaCell reported positive Phase 2 survival data in a similar MBC patient population treated with the same Bria-IMT combination regimen. The Bria-IMT combination regimen has received FDA Fast Track designation.
