CHICAGO, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — XAI Madison Equity Premium Income Fund (the “Fund”) has declared its regular monthly distribution of $0.060 per share on the Fund’s common shares (NYSE: MCN), 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 $0.060 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	$0.060 per 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 Fund’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 Fund is net income or profit. For further information regarding the Fund’s distributions, please visit www.xainvestments.com.

The Fund’s net investment income and capital gain can vary significantly over time; however, the Fund seeks to maintain more stable common share quarterly distributions over time. The Fund’s final taxable income for the current fiscal year will not be known until the Fund’s tax returns are filed.

As a registered investment company, the Fund is subject to a 4% excise tax that is imposed if the Fund 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 December 31 of the calendar year (unless an election is made to use the Fund’s fiscal year). In certain circumstances, the Fund may elect to retain income or capital gain to the extent that the Board of Trustees, in consultation with Fund management, determines it to be in the interest of shareholders to do so.

The common share distributions paid by the Fund 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 Fund, 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.

Future common share distributions will be made if and when declared by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, after the evaluation of several factors, including the Fund’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 Fund’s objective is to achieve a high level of current income and current capital gains, with long-term capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Fund intends to pursue its objective by investing in a portfolio of common stocks and utilizing an option strategy, primarily by writing (selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of the common stocks in the portfolio in order to generate current income and gains from option writing premiums and, to a lesser extent, from dividends. Market action can impact dividend issuance as the Fund’s total assets affect the Fund’s future dividend prospects. The Fund provides additional information on its website at www.xainvestments.com.

BRISBANE, Australia, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — North American lithium producer Elevra Lithium Limited (“Elevra”) (ASX:ELV; NASDAQ:ELVR) provides an update on the proposed sale of its interests in the Ewoyaa Lithium Project (“Ewoyaa Project”) in Ghana to Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt Co., Ltd. (“Huayou”) where the Ghanaian Government approval process continues and Huayou has received FIRB approval for the proposed acquisition of Atlantic Lithium Limited (“Atlantic Lithium”).

As announced on 11 May 2026¹, Elevra entered into an agreement with Huayou for the sale of all of Elevra’s rights and interests in the Ewoyaa Project, including its associated offtake rights, for cash consideration of approximately US$71 million before fees and taxes.

Completion of the transaction remains subject to receipt of the required Ghanaian Government approvals. Huayou continues to progress the approvals process with the relevant Ghanaian authorities, with Elevra working constructively with Huayou to facilitate completion.

Under the current terms of the agreement with Huayou, if the relevant Ghanaian Government approvals have not been obtained by 30 October 2026, Huayou will have an election to either complete the transaction (and pay the cash consideration of approximately US$71 million) or terminate the transaction and pay Elevra a US$5 million break fee. In circumstances where the Ghanaian Government rejects Huayou’s application on or before 30 October 2026, then no break fee shall be payable to Elevra.

Separately, Huayou continues to progress its proposed acquisition of Atlantic Lithium² which holds the remaining private-sector interest in the Ewoyaa Project. Atlantic Lithium has announced that Huayou has received approval from Australia’s Foreign Investment Review Board (“FIRB”) for the proposed acquisition by way of Scheme of Arrangement³ (“Scheme”).

The receipt of FIRB approval represents further progress in Huayou’s proposed acquisition of Atlantic Lithium. The Scheme remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of its remaining conditions, including applicable shareholder, court and regulatory approvals.

As previously announced, Huayou’s proposed acquisition of Elevra’s interests in the Ewoyaa Project is separate from, and is not conditional upon, completion of Huayou’s proposed acquisition of Atlantic Lithium.

Elevra will provide a further update when there is a material development in relation to the Ghanaian Government approval process or completion of the transaction.

Elevra’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lucas Dow, said: “Huayou continues to progress the Ghanaian Government approval process required to complete the acquisition of Elevra’s interests in the Ewoyaa Project.

“The receipt of FIRB approval for Huayou’s separate proposed acquisition of Atlantic Lithium represents further progress in Huayou’s broader proposed investment in the Ewoyaa Project. We continue to work constructively with Huayou towards completion of Elevra’s transaction.”

Announcement authorised for release by Elevra’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The financial results set forth in this press release are preliminary. Our disclosure and analysis in this press release, which do not present historical information, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements convey our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements because they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. They use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” and other words and terms of similar meaning. They also appear in any discussion of future operating or financial performance. In particular, these include statements relating to future actions, future performance of our products, expenses, the outcome of any legal proceedings, and financial results. Although we believe that we are basing our expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what we currently know about our business and operations, the economy, and other conditions, there can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ materially from what we expect or believe. Therefore, you should proceed with caution in relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance.

Forward-looking statements involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, some of which are listed below, that are difficult to predict and could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may cause our actual results to differ from our expectations include risks associated with a decline in the securities markets that adversely affect our assets under management, negative performance of our products, the failure to perform as required under our investment management agreements, and a general downturn in the economy that negatively impacts our operations. We also direct your attention to the more specific discussions of these and other risks, uncertainties and other important factors contained in our Annual Report and other public filings. Other factors that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We do not undertake to update publicly any forward-looking statements if we subsequently learn that we are unlikely to achieve our expectations whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

(“Yesway” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: YSWY), one of the fastest-growing convenience store operators in the United States, today announced that it has completed the sale of its 29-store portfolio in Iowa and Kansas to Now & Forever for approximately $21 million, including payment for the value of existing inventory.

The transaction advances Yesway’s disciplined capital allocation strategy of monetizing non-strategic assets and redeploying capital into investments with higher return potential in faster-growing markets. The Company intends to use the proceeds to further strengthen its balance sheet and support the development of new-to-industry stores in its core markets, where it believes its established brands and proven operating capabilities position it to generate attractive returns and sustainable long-term growth.

“This transaction is fundamentally about putting our capital to work where we believe it can generate the greatest long-term value,” said Thomas N. Trkla, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Yesway. “By monetizing our Iowa and Kansas portfolio, we are unlocking capital to invest in new-to-industry stores in faster-growing core markets where we see opportunities to achieve higher returns on invested capital. At the same time, we are sharpening our operational focus and simplifying our supply chain footprint. Together, these benefits position us to pursue more profitable growth, build on the strength of our Yesway and Allsup’s brands and deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

“I also want to express my heartfelt thanks to all of our district and store managers, service technicians, and store associates in Iowa and Kansas for their hard work, dedication, and commitment throughout the years these stores have been part of the Yesway family,” Mr. Trkla added. “Their pride in their work, care for our customers, and dedication to their communities helped build the foundation of our company, and I am tremendously proud of all that we accomplished together.”
