GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Sept. 25, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Umbra Companies Inc. (“Umbra” or the “Company”) (OTC: UCIX) today announced its intention to transition to fully reporting status and to file a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company currently expects to file the S-1 in early October 2026.

Benefits to Shareholders of Going Fully Reporting

Umbra believes becoming fully reporting with the SEC can create meaningful, long-term value for shareholders by strengthening transparency, improving disclosure consistency, and enhancing overall investor confidence. Key shareholder benefits include:

Greater Transparency and Visibility

• Investors gain access to SEC-standard disclosures that are more consistent and easier to track over time.

Improved Disclosure Quality and Consistency

• SEC reporting provides a structured cadence and established reporting expectations, supporting clearer and more reliable communication.

Enhanced Credibility with Investors and Market Participants

• SEC filings serve as a recognized benchmark for public-company disclosure and can reinforce confidence in the Company’s commitment to accountability.

Better Comparability for Shareholders

• SEC reporting helps investors evaluate Umbra using familiar reporting formats and timelines.

Potential to Broaden Investor Access

• Many investors and platforms prioritize SEC-reporting companies, which may improve liquidity and access over time.

Building on a Strong Record of Quarterly Financial Updates

Umbra notes that it has been providing quarterly financial information to investors for the past five years. The Company’s move toward SEC fully reporting is intended to build on that track record by transitioning from periodic updates to an ongoing SEC reporting framework with standardized disclosure.

“Our priority has always been delivering clear financial visibility to shareholders,” said Rohn Monroe, CEO of Umbra Companies Inc. “Moving toward full SEC reporting and filing an S-1 in early October 2026 is designed to strengthen transparency, improve consistency, and support long-term shareholder value.”

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.

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.”

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

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.
