Agreement expected to expand and strengthen tungsten supply chains across the U.S., UK, and allied nations with one of the world’s largest tungsten deposits

Further advances the objectives of the United States Department of War’s $450 million committed investment announced September 14, 2026

Represents more than $230 million annually in offtake at current APT tungsten prices

PORTLAND, Maine, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Elmet Group Co. (NASDAQ: ELMT) (“ELMT” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based provider of critical materials, precision-engineered components, and advanced high-energy systems, today announced that it has signed a long-term tungsten concentrate offtake agreement with Tungsten West plc (AIM: TUN) (“Tungsten West”) covering production from the Hemerdon Mine in Devon, England (“Hemerdon”), one of the largest tungsten deposits in the world.

Under the terms of the agreement, ELMT expects to take more than 1,000 metric tonnes per year of tungsten concentrate (WO₃ equivalent) from Hemerdon, with both parties aiming to increase production volumes over time. Material will be converted into ammonium paratungstate (“APT”) and downstream tungsten intermediates through ELMT’s allied refining network, followed by delivery into ELMT’s U.S. manufacturing operations in Maine, Michigan, Ohio, and ELMT’s Schwabmünchen, Germany plant, pending the closing of the previously announced asset purchase agreement with OSRAM GmbH, if supplies exist. Ultimately, this U.S.-UK partnership is expected to support customers across aerospace, defense, energy, medical, industrial, and semiconductor markets.

The UK government’s strategic investment in Tungsten West, announced on August 25, 2026, complements the U.S. Department of War’s (“DoW”) landmark investment in ELMT announced on September 14, 2026, underscoring the importance both governments place on building resilient, allied supply chains for critical materials. The offtake will be managed through Elmet Refining & Trading (“ERT”), the Company’s new division established in connection with the DoW investment to secure long-term access to critical materials and coordinate sourcing, conversion, and delivery across ELMT’s supply relationships.

“Our agreement with Tungsten West further builds upon the landmark investment we received from the Department of War and advances our strategy to build a resilient critical materials supply chain,” said The Elmet Group CEO and Chairman Peter V. Anania. “The Elmet Group and Tungsten West are firmly aligned in our commitment to securing domestic and allied production, supply, and consistency for customers across the full breadth of critical materials end markets.”

“This partnership arrives at a pivotal moment in Tungsten West’s history, with processing operations underway and continuing to ramp at Hemerdon,” said Tungsten West CEO Jeffery Court. “In addition to supporting the creation of hundreds of jobs in the UK, we believe our offtake agreement with ELMT solidifies our position as a leading Western producer of tungsten and enables us to contribute to the creation of a resilient tungsten supply chain for the U.S., UK and our other allies.”

Following the £71 million strategic investment from the UK Government’s National Wealth Fund, Tungsten West has initiated processing efforts at Hemerdon. The mine is targeting ramp-up to full-scale production by the end of the first quarter of 2027.

ELMT and Tungsten West have been engaged in discussions for more than a year to identify the best approach for combining production from Hemerdon with the conversion relationships, customer base, and North American platform at ELMT. The two companies are closely aligned on the strategic objective of maximizing the volume of allied-sourced tungsten available to U.S. and UK industries and are committed to maintaining a long-term collaborative effort as Hemerdon ramps up production later this year. The partnership is designed to serve customers on both sides of the Atlantic, supporting a range of strategically important U.S. and UK industries with a secure, allied source of tungsten.

This announcement follows the landmark investment ELMT received from the DoW, announced on September 14, 2026, allowing the Company to further enhance its standing as a leading provider of strategically important raw materials.

“This announcement builds on our partnership with the United States, working together in areas like mining and processing, helping crucial sectors like defense and clean energy in both countries get the minerals they need,” said UK Minister for Reindustrialization Blair McDougall. “This is our Critical Minerals Strategy in action – forging ambitious international partnerships that strengthen our economic security and help build more resilient, sustainable critical minerals supply chains.”

Investor Business Update
As a result of these recent developments, ELMT management will temporarily postpone its standalone Investor Business Update, previously announced for September 24, 2026. The Company will continue to disclose additional updates, as appropriate, and intends to provide further scheduling information in the near future.

Business and transformation officer joins the Executive Leadership Team to help drive Credit Acceptance’s next chapter of growth

Southfield, Michigan, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Credit Acceptance Corporation (Nasdaq: CACC) (referred to as the “Company”, “Credit Acceptance”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) today announced that Shannon Wilson will join the Company as Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) on September 28, 2026. Ms. Wilson is a business and transformation executive with an unusual breadth of experience spanning human resources, frontline operations, technology, and workforce strategy. She has led through growth, complexity, and significant change at iconic brands and startups.

“Our ambitions for Credit Acceptance are high, and we have been deliberate about building a leadership team capable of realizing them,” said Vinayak Hegde, Chief Executive Officer. “That means bringing in leaders who are exceptional in their fields but think and operate across the enterprise. Shannon embodies that. She brings deep human resources expertise, but she is also an experienced operator who understands technology, organizational systems, and what it takes to execute through complexity and change. She has seen what great looks like at scale, and I am excited to have her as a partner as we turn our ambitions into action.”

Ms. Wilson’s career began in frontline retail operations at Best Buy and The Home Depot, experiences that shaped her deep connection to customers and frontline employees and the operations-first perspective she has carried throughout her career. During more than a decade at Amazon, she brought that perspective to extraordinary scale, eventually leading Human Resources for North American Customer Fulfillment and organizations focused on workforce strategy, product, technology, analytics, and science. Most recently, as Chief People Officer at Alto Pharmacy, Ms. Wilson applied those lessons in a very different, highly regulated environment, helping a technology-driven startup navigate significant transformation and build the organizational capabilities needed to adapt, grow, and thrive.

Credit Acceptance continues to evolve and invest for long-term growth. The Company is strengthening how it operates, focusing on great talent and performance, and becoming more technology- and AI-enabled while building on the mission, culture, and principles that have made Credit Acceptance successful for more than 50 years.

Ms. Wilson added: “For many people, a vehicle is a link to real opportunity. Credit Acceptance partners with dealers to help make vehicle ownership possible for consumers who might otherwise struggle to obtain financing. The impact extends far beyond the purchase of a vehicle, creating opportunities for people to build careers, support their families, and contribute to their communities. That combination of purpose and problem-solving drew me to the Company.”

Description of Credit Acceptance Corporation

We make vehicle ownership possible by providing innovative financing solutions that enable automobile dealers to sell vehicles to consumers regardless of their credit history. Our financing programs are offered through a nationwide network of automobile dealers who benefit from sales of vehicles to consumers who otherwise could not obtain financing; from repeat and referral sales generated by these same customers; and from sales to customers responding to advertisements for our financing programs, but who actually end up qualifying for traditional financing.

Without our financing programs, consumers are often unable to purchase vehicles or they purchase unreliable ones. Further, as we report to the three national credit reporting agencies, an important ancillary benefit of our programs is that we provide consumers with an opportunity to improve their lives by improving their credit score and move on to more traditional sources of financing. Credit Acceptance is publicly traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbol CACC. For more information, visit creditacceptance.com.
