Retirement removes market-linked conversion exposure as ECGI advances balance sheet optimization strategy focused on eliminating derivative liabilities and potentially dilutive debt

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ECGI Holdings, Inc. (OTC: ECGI) today announced that it has fully extinguished a $2.556 million convertible obligation, marking a significant milestone in the company’s ongoing balance sheet optimization strategy focused on eliminating derivative liabilities, reducing potentially dilutive debt and simplifying its capital structure.

The extinguished obligation carried a principal amount of $2.556 million and included market-linked conversion rights tied to ECGI common stock. The obligation has now been terminated in full.

The underlying note permitted principal and accrued interest to be converted into ECGI common stock at a price based on 80% of the lowest traded price during the 10 trading days preceding a conversion. Eliminating the obligation removes that variable-price conversion structure from ECGI’s capital structure and represents another concrete step in management’s effort to eliminate derivative liabilities and reduce exposure to potentially dilutive financing instruments.

“Balance sheet optimization is a major priority as we continue executing ECGI’s broader strategy,” said Jamie Steigerwald, President of ECGI Holdings. “Eliminating this $2.556 million convertible obligation removes a significant market-linked debt instrument and advances our objective of eliminating derivative liabilities and reducing potentially dilutive debt. We are continuing this work alongside the strategic transactions and operating initiatives already underway across ECGI.”

Management’s balance sheet optimization strategy is focused on simplifying ECGI’s capital structure, eliminating derivative liabilities and addressing legacy financing arrangements that can create potential dilution or capital structure uncertainty.

ECGI intends to continue pursuing opportunities to eliminate derivative liabilities and strengthen its capital structure as the company’s strategic and operating initiatives advance. The company expects to provide additional updates upon completion of further material balance sheet optimization milestones.

Recognized sales and the full open order book together total $9 million; $1.7 million booked for the fourth quarter

FREDERICK, Md., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a global leader specializing in disinfection and decontamination utilizing its premier Binary Ionization Technology platform through the manufacturing, licensing, servicing, and selling of its SteraMist iHP products and services, today provided a preliminary sales update for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Preliminary revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $2.5 million, a 27% increase compared with the third quarter of 2025, and sequential revenue increased 13% over the second quarter of 2026.

• $9 Million as of September 30, 2026, in year-to-date recognized revenue plus open order book;
• $1.7 million booked for the fourth quarter of 2026;
• BIT Solution, Mobile Equipment, and Services were all up in comparison to last year’s third quarter;
• Revenue has increased sequentially in each of the past four quarters; and
• Preliminary third-quarter gross margin is also expected to exceed the second quarter level.

Demand is up across the TOMI portfolio — revenue combined with full backlog at the close of the third quarter of 2026 when compared to the full calendar year of 2025: Mobile Equipment Sales are up 107%, Services at 77%, and integrated automated projects reflect an increase of 330%. BIT Solution at the end of 2026 is projected to surpass last year’s total. Together, these results show growth that is not concentrated in a single product line, but spread across equipment, services, and higher-value automated projects.

At the end of the third quarter, the open order book stood at $2.5 million, up from $2.2 million at the close of the second quarter and has held at or above that level even as orders continue to be fulfilled and removed from the book. New orders are replacing completed work and adding to the backlog, which is consistent with the Company’s focus on integrated automated special solutions and support services.

“Third quarter revenue of $2.5 million, up 27% from the same period last year, reflects continued demand across our business,” said E.J. Shane, Chief Operating Officer of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. “With $1.7 million already booked for the fourth quarter, and with recognized sales and our full open order book together totaling $9 million and climbing.”

“As we continue to evaluate potential merger candidates, we are excited about our current position in the marketplace,” said Dr. Halden Shane, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc. “We feel that the fourth quarter will be profitable, and we expect continued profitability into the foreseeable future. We feel our position heading into the final three months of the year puts us on track to hit our $12 million target for the 2026 year provided all the chess pieces fall into place. This is all due to having the best disinfection decontamination technology in the world and the unfettered loyalty from our 16 employees and over 1500 of our determined and decisive clients.”

The Company expects to report its complete third quarter financial results in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Rapid-deployment, Fiber-Grade networking upgrade to legacy analog telephone infrastructure for 65 buildings in a matter of days, with no need to replace wiring with Fiber

Sunnyvale, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Actelis Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: ASNS) (“Actelis” or the “Company”), a market leader in cyber-hardened, rapid deployment networking solutions for IoT, Federal and broadband applications, today announced the win of a network modernization program purchase order for the U.S. Marine Corps under which the Company’s cyber-hardened, Fiber-Grade networking technology will be deployed in days to deliver digital, cyber-hardened, VoIP services for 65 buildings. Actelis’ unique solution eliminates the need to run new Fiber across the military base, and achieves Fiber-grade performance by applying advanced signal processing to existing wires, hence allowing for rapid implementation without the wait for civil works, making installation highly cost effective.

“I am proud to see our technology playing a role in modernizing mission-critical communications for the U.S. Marine Corps,” said Tuvia Barlev, Chairman and CEO of Actelis. “By making full use of the Base’s existing infrastructure, we can deliver a modern, cyber-hardened VoIP network across tens of buildings in days rather than months or more, at a fraction of the cost of replacing wires with new Fiber. We offer immense value in the combination of speed, cyber security and cost efficiency, which is what drives adoption of our solutions across the U.S. military.”

The deployment is being implemented by a team of world-class defense integrators, including HammerTech and Allegiance. The total investment, covering Actelis’ networking hardware and software, as well as installation, training and ongoing support by the integrators, is estimated at approximately $0.5 million. Building an equivalent VoIP network from the ground up, including new cabling and construction across a base of this size, would typically take years and run into millions of dollars.

This engagement follows Actelis’ growing momentum in the defense sector, where its solutions, certified by the Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for FIPS standards and listed on the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) Approved Products List, are deployed for base modernization, secure communications and IoT connectivity. With the Base’s upgraded network serving as a live reference, the deployment is also expected to support additional engagements with military and government organizations.

LONDON, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Arqit Quantum Inc. (Nasdaq: ARQQ) (“Arqit”), a global leader in quantum-safe encryption, announces select preliminary financial results for the second half and full fiscal year 2026.

Based on preliminary unaudited results, management expects revenue for the second half period ended 30 September 2026 of approximately $355,000 to $380,000. For the full fiscal year ended 30 September 2026, revenue is expected to be $975,000 to $1,000,000. Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $51 million as of 30 September 2026.

Revenue for the second half period ended 30 September 2026 was down as compared to revenue of $463,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2025. Revenue for the full fiscal ended 30 September 2026 compares favourably to revenue of $530,000 for fiscal year 2025.

Growth in revenue for fiscal year 2026 versus fiscal year 2025 resulted from but was not limited to:

• Revenue recognition associated with delivery under contracts signed prior to the commencement of the period; and
• Revenue recognition associated with 7 new contracts signed in the period.
• Revenue for the second half of fiscal year 2026 was adversely affected by cessation of revenue recognition under a material contract with a customer in the Middle East. The customer’s ability to fulfill its contractual obligations has been impacted by, but not limited to, geopolitical events in the region.

Recognition of revenue under existing contracts is subject to a number of factors including, amongst others, the successful delivery of our products under the terms of those contracts, and the assumption that customers will not cancel, delay or amend the terms their contracts.

Notable revenue related events during the second half of the fiscal period or immediately following the close of the period include:

• Arqit signed 3 contracts in the second half of the fiscal period for Encryption Intelligence, Arqit’s automated cryptographic inventory solution, which enables continuous discovery and risk prioritisation to help governments and enterprises plan and execute migration to post-quantum cryptography. Revenue recognition under the contracts either began late in the second half of the fiscal period or will commence in the first quarter of fiscal year 2027. Encryption Intelligence launched commercialization earlier this year. The company believes Encryption Intelligence will be an important driver of customer engagement in fiscal year 2027.

• Renewed and or expanded two contracts in the second half of the fiscal year 2026.
• On 6 October 2026, following the end of fiscal year 2026, Arqit signed a contract as part of a winning bidding consortium to provide secure networking services to NATO. Services will be delivered as a 1 year contract with 2 annual renewal options.

The preliminary financial results discussed in this press release are based on management’s preliminary unaudited analysis of financial results for the second half and full fiscal year 2026. As of the date of this press release, the Company has not completed its financial statement reporting and the Company’s independent accounting firm has not reviewed the preliminary financial data discussed in this press release. During the course of the Company’s second half and full fiscal year closing procedures and independent accountant review process, including the finalization of its financial statements for and as of the period ended 30 September 2026, the Company may identify items that would require it to make adjustments, which may be material to the information presented above. As a result, the estimates above constitute forward-looking information and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including possible adjustments to preliminary results.

Conference Call

The Company expects to report complete second half and full year results in December 2026 followed by a conference call. Additional details, including the date and time of the conference call, will be provided in advance of the event.

Geneva, Switzerland, Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SEALSQ and WISeSat.Space to Showcase Root-to-Qubit-to-Space Stack at IQT Quantum+Ai Event in New York

CEO Carlos Moreira to Deliver Main Keynote and Join Senior Executive Panel

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ” or “Company”), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today announced its participation as Titanium Sponsor of IQT Quantum + AI 2026 (Q+AI 3.0) event, taking place October 25–27, 2026, in New York City.

Carlos Moreira, Chief Executive Officer of SEALSQ, will deliver the Main Conference Keynote “Securing the Quantum AI Era: From Silicon to Space,” on October 27 at 9:05 am ET. He will also join the Senior Executive Panel at 3:30 pm ET on the same day. The panel will be moderated by Troy Jensen, Managing Director at Cantor Fitzgerald, alongside senior leaders from QuEra Computing, Infleqtion, Rigetti Computing and SEEQC.

SEALSQ will present its integrated product and service stack from root-of-trust to qubit to space: post-quantum Root of Trust and PKI services, post-quantum certified secure hardware, and quantum services, plus a roadmap to build the first Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (QSOC) with WISeSat.Space Corp. (NASDAQ: SAIQ) (“WISeSat.Space”), SEALSQ’s sister company and a subsidiary of WISeQey Corp. (Nasdaq/SIX: WQEY).

On the hardware layer, the stack is anchored by the QS7001 Quantum Shield, a post-quantum secure element that implements NIST-standardized ML-KEM and ML-DSA alongside classical cryptography, with a NIST SP 800-90B validated entropy source, and by the QVault TPM, which brings the Trusted Computing Group’s post-quantum command set into silicon so that ML-DSA and ML-KEM keys can be generated and kept on-chip. Both lines are on a certification path covering Common Criteria, FIPS 140-3 and TCG. Above the chip, SEALSQ’s PKI and provisioning services issue and manage the credentials that turn that hardware identity into a usable Root of Trust for devices, infrastructure and AI systems.

The quantum layer extends the same trust model into quantum computing. Through SEALQuantum, SEALSQ is building a sovereign vertical stack across secure semiconductors, ASIC design, photonics and quantum processors, including a commercial agreement with Quobly to integrate post-quantum security, hardware Root of Trust and PKI into next-generation silicon quantum platforms.

At the space layer, QSOC is designed as a secure, sovereign orbital infrastructure pairing those semiconductors, PKI, quantum random-number generation and identity technologies with WISeSat.Space’s satellite constellation and orbital operations. SEALSQ intends to operate the security and cloud-services layer; WISeSat.Space, the satellites, payloads and ground segment. The program plans a progressive deployment of up to 100 satellites through 2033, with an initial QSOC payload targeted for launch in the fourth quarter of 2026.

SEALSQ will also present the evolution of its logo, reflecting this positioning. The updated mark builds on the original identity rather than replacing it.

“Quantum and AI are converging faster than most security architectures were built to handle,” said Mr. Moreira. “Trust has to be issued in hardware, managed through a post-quantum Root of Trust and PKI, and, where the mission requires it, carried into space. That is the stack we are bringing to New York.”

Q+AI is IQT’s flagship conference on the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence. The 2026 edition includes a co-located PQC+IQT track on post-quantum computing and cryptography strategies.

Inaugural Conference to Focus on the Industrial Reality of Autonomy

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Syntiant Corp., a leading provider of full-stack physical AI solutions that include processors, sensors and machine learning models, today announced that Vince Graziani, senior vice president of the company’s AI Business Unit, will speak at the Physical AI & Robotics Summit on October 13, 2026 in London.

Graziani will participate in the panel discussion, “Making Long-Term Bets in a Fast-Moving Market,” scheduled for 4:35 p.m., where industry leaders will explore the technological, operational and investment decisions shaping the future of Physical AI and robotics. During the discussion, Graziani will share Syntiant’s perspective on power, platforms and its Physical AI stack, highlighting the importance of ultra-low-power architectures that enable intelligent systems to sense, decide and act in real-world environments.

“As AI moves beyond the data center and into physical systems, the focus is shifting from simply deploying intelligence to ensuring those systems can adapt over time,” said Graziani. “The pace of AI innovation makes it difficult to predict which models and algorithms will ultimately prove most impactful. As organizations make long-term investments in robotics and autonomous systems, the ability of underlying architectures to support future advances may be just as important as the capabilities they deliver today.”

Award expands an established OPT relationship from persistent ocean sensing to mobile maritime research

MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ocean Power Technologies, Inc. (“OPT” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: OPTT), a leader in maritime operational infrastructure and autonomous ocean systems, today announced an order from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) for a WAM-V® 8 maritime drone.

Researchers from the NPS Consortium for Robotics and Unmanned Systems Education & Research (CRUSER) plans to use the WAM-V 8 as a mobile platform for littoral sensing and autonomous-systems research, including the integration of atmospheric and electro-optical instrumentation. The compact platform’s modular payload architecture and shallow draft allow researchers to configure and deploy specialized sensors in coastal operating environments. The order expands an established relationship between OPT and NPS. Their previous work has included an OPT PowerBuoy® deployed in Monterey Bay to support oceanographic, meteorological, communications, and maritime-sensing research. The WAM-V 8 adds a mobile research asset alongside that persistent sensing infrastructure.

Recent field operations have also demonstrated the WAM-V 8’s ability to perform work in demanding coastal conditions. At REPMUS 2026, the platform delivered bathymetric survey data in amphibious surf zones and was launched from shore ahead of amphibious operations. During a separate evaluation at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Field Research Facility, the WAM-V 8 operated in challenging surf-zone conditions and generated data on sensor performance, vehicle configuration, and deployment methods.

“NPS came to us with a defined research requirement: integrate specialized sensors on a compact autonomous platform for littoral experiments,” said Jason Weed, Chief Operating Officer of OPT. “The WAM-V 8’s modular architecture and demonstrated field performance make it well suited to that work. This order expands a relationship that began with persistent ocean sensing and now adds a mobile element.”

Tracy Pagliara, Acting President and CEO of OPT also stated: “The NPS order extends OPT’s relationship from persistent ocean sensing to mobile autonomous research. It reflects OPT’s role as an enabling maritime infrastructure layer, providing the mobile platform and integration framework designed to accommodate NPS sensors, data collection requirements, and research workflows.” For more information about Ocean Power Technologies, visit www.OceanPowerTechnologies.com.

Transaction supports Gevo’s path toward a carbon business exceeding $30 million in annual revenue from existing operations

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Oct. 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gevo, Inc. (NASDAQ: GEVO) today announced the successful sale and delivery of 10,000 carbon dioxide removal credits through ClimeFi to the ultimate corporate buyer as part of its carbon management strategy.

The transaction demonstrates growing demand for durable carbon removals generated at Gevo North Dakota, where biogenic carbon dioxide from ethanol production is captured and permanently stored through geologic sequestration. Since carbon capture operations began at the facility, it has generated more than 700,000 tons of carbon dioxide removal.

“This transaction validates Gevo’s strategy of building a durable, diversified carbon business alongside our low-carbon fuels platform,” said Gevo Chief Executive Officer Paul Bloom. “With proven sequestration infrastructure, commercial operations and access to both compliance and voluntary carbon markets, we believe our existing operations can support a growing carbon business and create a meaningful contributor to earnings, cash generation and shareholder value.”

ClimeFi serves as a partner for corporate buyers in building and managing carbon removal portfolios. Through this transaction, ClimeFi sourced and facilitated the transfer of Gevo’s carbon removal credits to support the buyer’s carbon management strategy.

“Customers looking for high-integrity carbon credits can count on Gevo to deliver,” said Gevo Chief Carbon Officer Alex Clayton. “As more corporations enter the market, we will continue to provide permanent carbon removals generated from proven infrastructure and real-world operations.”

The sale reflects growing interest in bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) as a scalable source of durable carbon removal. Gevo believes its Gevo North Dakota project is among the first commercial-scale U.S. BECCS projects delivering verified carbon removal credits to the voluntary carbon market.

About Gevo North Dakota’s Carbon Project

At Gevo North Dakota, carbon dioxide (CO₂) from fermentation is stored more than a mile beneath the plant, with permanence exceeding 1,000 years and no pipeline needed. Each stored ton can generate a carbon dioxide removal (CDR) credit, which companies buy to offset emissions. According to CDR.fyi, across the CDR market, only about 3% of roughly 50 million contracted tons has been delivered. Gevo is among those delivering CDR credits, serving customers such as Nasdaq and Whirlpool. Amgen and PayPal appear on its registry as well through purchases from intermediaries.
