HOUSTON, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Nasdaq: PAA) and Plains GP Holdings (Nasdaq: PAGP) announced today their quarterly distributions with respect to the third quarter of 2026 and also announced timing of third quarter 2026 earnings.

Third Quarter Distribution Declaration

PAA and PAGP announced the following quarterly cash distributions, each of which will be payable on November 13, 2026, to holders of the respective securities at the close of business on October 30, 2026:

• PAA Common Units – $0.4175 per Common Unit ($1.67 per unit on an annualized basis), which is unchanged from the distribution paid in August 2026.
• PAGP Class A Shares – $0.4175 per Class A Share ($1.67 per Class A Share on an annualized basis), which is unchanged from the distribution paid in August 2026.

Although equity holders should consult their own tax advisor regarding their particular circumstances, following the close of the NGL asset sale, it is possible that PAGP will report positive current earnings and profits for the Tax Year 2026, making part of its Class A Share cash distribution taxable as a dividend. The transaction is not estimated to result in a material change in the previous forecast regarding when routine PAGP distributions will shift from being a return of capital to being taxed as dividends or when PAGP will become a taxpaying entity. Following payment of quarterly distributions, Plains will publish Form 8937, Report of Organizational Actions Affecting Basis of Securities to clarify the expected portion of the quarterly distribution that will be taxed as a dividend. In addition, to the extent any cash distribution exceeds a Class A Shareholder’s tax basis, it should be taxable as a capital gain. A Qualified Notice under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1446 with respect to the PAA Common Unit distribution will be posted on the Plains website under “Investor Relations – Unit Information.”  

Third Quarter 2026 Earnings Timing

PAA and PAGP also announced that they will release third quarter 2026 earnings before market open on Friday, November 6, 2026. Following the announcement, PAA and PAGP will host a conference call at 9:00 a.m. CT (10 a.m. ET) with analysts and investors to discuss earnings.

Appointment reflects planned succession following Nasdaq listing and further strengthens CoinShares’ U.S. public-company finance capabilities; Richard Nash, CFO since 2019, to remain with CoinShares, ensuring continuity through the transition

JERSEY, Channel Islands – October 1, 2026 – CoinShares PLC (Nasdaq: CSHR) (“CoinShares” or the “Company”), a leading global asset manager specializing in digital assets, today announced the appointment of Matt Morris as Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately.

Mr. Morris succeeds Richard Nash, who has served as Chief Financial Officer of the CoinShares group since 2019 and will remain with the Company as a senior member of the CEO Office, supporting the Group on strategic initiatives and ensuring continuity through the transition. The appointment of Mr. Morris completes a planned succession process initiated in connection with CoinShares’ transition to the U.S. public markets and further strengthens the Company’s financial leadership as it enters its next phase of growth as a Nasdaq-listed company.

Mr. Morris is already deeply embedded within CoinShares’ finance organization. He has worked continuously with the Company since August 2025, initially as Managing Director at Centri Business Consulting, where he led the advisory engagement supporting CoinShares’ U.S. listing and transition to U.S. public-company reporting, and since August 2026 as Deputy Chief Financial Officer.

During that period, Mr. Morris worked alongside Mr. Nash and the CoinShares finance team through the Company’s transition from IFRS to U.S. GAAP, the establishment of its U.S. public-company reporting infrastructure and its Nasdaq listing. His appointment therefore provides continuity of leadership while adding extensive U.S. public-company finance, reporting and control experience to the executive team.

Jean-Marie Mognetti, Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of CoinShares, said: “This appointment is the culmination of a succession process we began well before our listing in New York and represents another important step in the evolution of CoinShares as a U.S.-listed company.
Matt comes into the role already knowing our business, our numbers, our systems and, importantly, our people. He worked alongside Richard and our finance team throughout one of the most significant transformations in our history, including our transition to U.S. GAAP and the preparation for our Nasdaq listing.
What Matt brings to the role is the combination we were looking for: continuity with the finance organization we have built, together with extensive experience helping companies operate successfully within the U.S. public markets. As CoinShares enters its next phase, we believe his appointment further strengthens the financial discipline, reporting infrastructure and execution capabilities of the Company.
Richard has made an exceptional contribution to CoinShares. During his tenure as CFO, we completed three public listings, transformed our financial reporting infrastructure and developed the finance organization that supports CoinShares today. I am particularly pleased that Richard will remain with the Company as a senior member of the CEO Office, allowing us to retain his experience and institutional knowledge while ensuring a seamless transition.”

An Experienced U.S. Public-Company Finance Executive

Mr. Morris brings more than fourteen years of experience across public-company accounting, financial reporting, capital markets transactions and internal controls.

Prior to joining CoinShares, he held senior roles at Centri Business Consulting and Ernst & Young LLP, where he advised public companies and management teams on complex accounting and reporting matters, public listings, capital markets transactions, acquisitions and integrations, accounting conversions and internal control over financial reporting.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Morris audited public and private companies at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. He is a U.S. Certified Public Accountant and is based in the United States.

As Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Morris will oversee CoinShares’ global finance organization, financial reporting and SEC filings, financial planning and analysis, treasury and capital management, internal financial controls and investor-facing financial communications. He will serve as the Company’s principal financial officer and report directly to the Chief Executive Officer.

Mr. Morris said: “Having worked closely with CoinShares and its finance team throughout the Company’s transition to the U.S. public markets, I have had the opportunity to understand both the strength of the platform that Richard and the team have built and the opportunity ahead of us.
CoinShares has a strong balance sheet, an established global business and an ambitious strategy for its next phase of growth. I am excited to take on the role of CFO and to work with Jean-Marie, Richard and the wider leadership team as we continue building the financial infrastructure and discipline required to support that ambition as a U.S.-listed company.”

Continued Leadership from Richard Nash

Mr. Nash has served as Chief Financial Officer of the CoinShares group since 2019 and has overseen a period of significant transformation for the Company, including its listing on Nasdaq Stockholm in 2021, its transition to the U.S. GAAP and PCAOB reporting requirements, and its subsequent listing in the United States.

As a senior member of the CEO Office, Mr. Nash will support the Group on strategic initiatives and the transition of the CFO responsibilities. His continued involvement enables CoinShares to retain the institutional knowledge and experience accumulated during his seven years as CFO.

Mr Nash said: “It has been a privilege to serve as CFO through such an important period in CoinShares’ development. Matt has worked closely with the finance team throughout our transition to the U.S. public markets and understands both the organization and the reporting environment exceptionally well. I look forward to continuing to support Matt, Jean-Marie and the Company in my new role.”

Third-Quarter 2026 Results Call

CoinShares expects to report its third-quarter 2026 results in November 2026. Mr. Morris will lead the third-quarter financial reporting process and participate in the Company’s results call. The Company will provide further details regarding the results call and how investors may join this call closer to the date thereof.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Forward Industries increased SOL per Share by 42% annualized, for the quarter.

AUSTIN, TX, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FWDI) (the “Company” or “Forward”), the leading Solana treasury company, today provided an update on its SOL treasury strategy for its fiscal fourth quarter ended September 30, 2026. During the quarter, Forward increased its SOL and SOL equivalent holdings by 948,601 SOL, or 13%, from 7,552,698 as of June 30, 2026 to 8,501,298 as of September 30, 2026, representing approximately 1.4% of Solana’s circulating supply.¹ The SOL added during the quarter came at an average cost of $83 per SOL.²

SOL per share on a fully diluted basis increased to 0.0806 as of September 30, 2026, from 0.0730 as of June 30, 2026, representing quarterly growth of 10.4%, or approximately 42% on an annualized basis.³ While a portion of the quarter’s purchases was funded through the sale of FWDI shares, that issuance was accretive for shareholders, as the quarterly increase in SOL per share shows. The quarter also completes Forward’s first full fiscal year executing on its Solana focused strategy, over which SOL per share on a fully diluted basis grew 33% from 0.0604 as of September 30, 2025.

Forward’s investment in OnRe, the Solana-based tokenized reinsurance platform, continued to grow during the quarter. ONyc’s market capitalization increased 40.7% from approximately $203.4 million at the end of June 2026 to approximately $286.2 million as of September 30, 2026, and has grown approximately 100% since Forward’s investment in May 2026. Over the same period, the total tokenized real-world asset market capitalization on Solana grew from more than $3.3 billion to approximately $4.3 Billion.⁴

“This was a standout quarter for Forward, with record SOL additions far outpacing our peers and SOL per share growth of approximately 42% on an annualized basis,” said Ryan Navi, Chief Investment Officer of Forward Industries. “Our accelerating growth in both total SOL and SOL per share demonstrates the power of our disciplined capital allocation and differentiated ‘SOL++’ strategy. We are building the Berkshire Hathaway of Solana, combining access to best-in-class debt and equity capital terms with diversified yield sources and investments in high-growth ecosystem companies. Each milestone strengthens our ability to compound shareholder value.”

CHICAGO, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust (the “Trust”) has declared its regular monthly distribution of $0.225 per share on the Trust’s common shares (NYSE: XFLT), payable on November 2, 2026, to common shareholders of record as of October 15, 2026, as noted below. The amount of the distribution represents no change from the previous month’s distribution amount of $0.225 per share.

The following dates apply to the declaration:

Ex-Dividend Date		October 15, 2026
Record Date		October 15, 2026
Payable Date		November 2, 2026
Amount		$0.225 per common share
Change from Previous Month		No Change

Common share distributions may be paid from net investment income (regular interest and dividends), capital gains and/or a return of capital. The specific tax characteristics of the distributions will be reported to the Trust’s common shareholders on Form 1099 after the end of the 2026 calendar year. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Trust is net income or profit. For further information regarding the Trust’s distributions, please visit www.xainvestments.com.

The Trust’s net investment income and capital gain can vary significantly over time; however, the Trust seeks to maintain more stable common share monthly distributions over time. The Trust’s investments in CLOs are subject to complex tax rules and the calculation of taxable income attributed to an investment in CLO subordinated notes can be dramatically different from the calculation of income for financial reporting purposes under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), and, as a result, there may be significant differences between the Trust’s GAAP income and its taxable income. The Trust’s final taxable income for the current fiscal year will not be known until the Trust’s tax returns are filed.

As a registered investment company, the Trust is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Trust does not distribute to common shareholders by the end of any calendar year at least the sum of (i) 98% of its ordinary income (not taking into account any capital gain or loss) for the calendar year and (ii) 98.2% of its capital gain in excess of its capital loss (adjusted for certain ordinary losses) for a one-year period generally ending on October 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Trust’s fiscal year). In certain circumstances, the Trust may elect to retain income or capital gain to the extent that the Board of Trustees, in consultation with Trust management, determines it to be in the interest of shareholders to do so.

The common share distributions paid by the Trust for any particular period may be more than the amount of net investment income from that period. As a result, all or a portion of a distribution may be a return of capital, which is in effect a partial return of the amount a common shareholder invested in the Trust, up to the amount of the common shareholder’s tax basis in their common shares, which would reduce such tax basis. Although a return of capital may not be taxable, it will generally increase the common shareholder’s potential gain, or reduce the common shareholder’s potential loss, on any subsequent sale or other disposition of common shares.

The distribution shall be paid on the Payable Date unless the payment of such distribution is deferred by the Board of Trustees upon a determination that such deferral is required in order to comply with applicable law to ensure that the Trust remains solvent and able to pay its debts as they become due and continue as a going concern, or to comply with the applicable terms or financial covenants of the Trust’s senior securities.

Future common share distributions will be made if and when declared by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, based on consideration of a number of factors, including the Trust’s continued compliance with terms and financial covenants of its senior securities, the Trust’s net investment income, financial performance and available cash. There can be no assurance that the amount or timing of common share distributions in the future will be equal or similar to that described herein or that the Board of Trustees will not decide to suspend or discontinue the payment of common share distributions in the future.

The investment objective of the Trust is to seek attractive total return with an emphasis on income generation across multiple stages of the credit cycle. The Trust seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in a dynamically managed portfolio of opportunities primarily within the private credit markets. Under normal market conditions, the Trust will invest at least 80% of its Managed Assets in floating rate credit instruments and other structured credit investments. There can be no assurance that the Trust will achieve its investment objective.

The Trust’s common shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “XFLT”.
