Hong Kong, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Magic Empire Global Limited (NASDAQ: MEGL) (“MEGL” or the “Company”) today announced a new strategic initiative to expand into international commodity trading and supply chain finance, building on its established financial services platform in Hong Kong. Going forward, the Company intends to develop its business around two core pillars: commodity trading, focusing on mineral and energy resources, and financial services, centered on supply chain finance.

The Company has established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Lunar Haste International Trading Limited, through which it is developing an integrated business comprising two complementary segments:

Commodity Trading: cross-border trading of timber, mineral and coal products, initially focusing on hardwood logs and sawn timber, iron ore, thermal coal and metallurgical coal, supplied to buyers in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Supply Chain Finance: financing solutions for upstream suppliers and downstream buyers in the commodity sector, which may include pre-export financing, inventory and warehouse receipt financing, receivables financing, and letter of credit facilitation and related arrangements. Such financing solutions will be provided, where required, through licensed entities or in cooperation with licensed financial institutions, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

The Company has established a mature partnership network and supply chain resources across North America, Europe and Africa, including relationships with producers, mine operators, timber mills and end buyers. These resources are expected to provide the Company with stable access to supply and diversified sourcing channels from the outset of its trading operations.

The expansion is further anchored by the extensive industry experience of the Company’s management team, which has more than 30 years of experience in commodity trading and has held key management roles at a number of multinational commodity, mineral and energy trading companies.

The Company believes that combining physical trading with supply chain finance creates a mutually reinforcing model. Trading activities provide direct visibility into cargo flows, counterparty performance and collateral quality, which supports disciplined credit decisions, while financing capabilities strengthen relationships with suppliers and buyers and enhance the Company’s trading competitiveness.

“Our management team has spent more than 30 years building relationships across global commodity supply chains, and we have established a mature partnership network spanning North America, Europe and Africa,” said Mei Wang, CFO of MEGL. “By pairing that industry expertise with MEGL’s financial services capabilities, we can offer our partners both reliable trading channels and tailored financing. Commodity trading and supply chain finance will be the two pillars of MEGL’s growth going forward.”
The Company has completed its first commodity trading transaction through Lunar Haste International Trading Limited in the fourth quarter of 2026.

About TransCon PTH
TransCon PTH (palopegteriparatide) is a prodrug of PTH (1-34), administered once daily, designed to provide stable levels of active PTH within the physiological range for 24 hours/day. TransCon CNP is approved as YORVIPATH^® in the United States (U.S.), European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), and certain other jurisdictions as a treatment for adults with hypoparathyroidism.

About TransCon CNP
TransCon CNP (navepegritide) is a prodrug of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) administered once weekly, designed to provide continuous exposure of active CNP to receptors on tissues throughout the body to counteract the overactive FGFR3 signaling in achondroplasia. TransCon CNP is approved as YUVIWEL^® in the U.S. as a treatment for children with achondroplasia. Ascendis Pharma’s Marketing Authorisation Application for YUVIWEL is under review by the European Medicines Agency, with a decision anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026.

About TransCon hGH
TransCon hGH (lonapegsomatropin) is a prodrug of somatropin administered once weekly, providing sustained release of active, unmodified somatropin. TransCon hGH is investigational in achondroplasia and is approved as SKYTROFA^® in the U.S., EU, EEA, and elsewhere for the treatment of growth failure in children due to growth hormone deficiency and in the U.S. for the replacement of endogenous growth hormone in adults with growth hormone deficiency.

About Hypoparathyroidism
Hypoparathyroidism is an endocrine disease caused by insufficient levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH), the primary regulator of calcium and phosphate balance in the body, acting directly on bone and kidney and indirectly on the intestine. Individuals with hypoparathyroidism may experience a range of severe and potentially life-threatening short-term and long-term complications, including neuromuscular irritability, renal complications, extra-skeletal calcifications, and cognitive impairment. Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism accounts for the majority of cases (70-80%), while other etiologies include autoimmune, idiopathic, and genetic causes, including ADH1.

About Achondroplasia
Achondroplasia is a rare genetic condition arising from a systemic fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) variant that leads to an imbalance in the effects of the FGFR3 and CNP signaling pathways, estimated to affect more than 250,000 people worldwide. While historically considered a bone growth disorder, the FGFR3 variant seen in achondroplasia is expressed in tissues throughout the body, causing serious muscular, neurological, and cardiorespiratory complications in addition to skeletal dysplasia. Medical complications of achondroplasia vary across different stages of life. Throughout infancy and childhood, observed complications include spinal abnormalities, enlarged brain ventricles, impaired muscle strength and stamina, hearing deficits and chronic ear infections, upper airway obstructions, sleep-disordered breathing, hip problems, leg bowing, and chronic pain; many of these persist or worsen in adulthood. These medical complications can affect physical well-being and quality of life, and may be impacted by a range of individual, clinical, and social factors. Some individuals with achondroplasia require multiple procedures and surgeries to address specific functional or anatomical concerns.

Authorization follows more than $59 million of recent capital raised, with planned programs funded through targeted 2027 milestones

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — Greenland Mines Ltd (“Greenland Mines” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GRML; FSE: HK6), a Greenland-focused critical-minerals developer, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a $20 million share repurchase program as part of an updated capital allocation strategy focused on advancing its core mineral projects, maintaining strong liquidity, and maximizing long-term shareholder value.

Following the Company’s recent raising of more than $59 million in new capital, Greenland Mines believes it is well positioned to fund planned work at Sarfartoq and Skaergaard through targeted 2027 milestones while maintaining the financial flexibility to opportunistically repurchase shares. The Company will continue to prioritize drilling, technical studies, metallurgy, environmental programs and permitting, while evaluating strategic investments and partnerships supporting its North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor strategy.

“Our recent financings have given Greenland Mines the balance sheet to aggressively advance our world-class Greenland assets while preserving meaningful strategic flexibility,” said Bo Møller Stensgaard, President of Greenland Mines. “Our priority remains disciplined investment in Sarfartoq and Skaergaard. At the same time, we believe our own shares may represent a compelling use of capital at certain valuations. This $20 million authorization gives us the ability to act when we believe repurchases can create attractive long-term value for our shareholders.”

Under the authorization, the Company may repurchase up to $20 million of its outstanding common stock from time to time through open-market transactions or other permissible methods, including pursuant to trading plans established under Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18, where applicable. The timing and amount of any repurchases will depend on market conditions, the Company’s share price, liquidity requirements, project funding needs and other capital allocation considerations. The authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time.

About Greenland Mines Ltd
Greenland Mines Ltd is listed on Nasdaq and develops mineral assets in Greenland, including the Skaergaard precious-metals project in southeast Greenland and the Sarfartoq neodymium-praseodymium rare earths project in southwest Greenland. Its North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor strategy seeks to connect Greenland resources with processing capacity and industrial customers in the United States and allied countries. The Company’s portfolio also includes a strategic investment in AnorTech, which is developing alumina and other materials from Greenland anorthosite.

Approval provides Rezolve Ai with capital allocation flexibility to advance towards planned repurchases while preserving capacity for growth, strategic M&A and other shareholder value initiatives

NEW YORK, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Rezolve Ai plc (NASDAQ: RZLV) (“Rezolve Ai” or the “Company”), a global leader in AI-powered commerce, today announced that it has received Court approval for the Company’s proposed capital reduction, an important step in enabling Rezolve Ai to implement its previously announced share repurchase program of up to $300 million.

The Court approval follows shareholder approval of the capital reduction and supports the Board’s objective of providing Rezolve Ai with greater flexibility to allocate capital in a manner that it believes best serves long-term shareholder value.

The Company expects to commence repurchases following the remaining procedural requirements necessary for the capital reduction to become effective having been completed, subject to market conditions, available capital, liquidity, capital allocation priorities, legal requirements and other relevant factors.

Under the Company’s proposed arrangements with BTIG, BTIG is expected to purchase ordinary shares in the market within agreed parameters, with Rezolve Ai repurchasing such shares from BTIG in accordance with applicable legal requirements and the terms of the program.

Daniel M. Wagner, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Rezolve Ai, said:
“Court approval of the capital reduction is an important milestone for Rezolve Ai and for our shareholders.

“We have consistently said that we believe the public market valuation of Rezolve Ai does not reflect the strength of our technology, the progress we have made commercially, or the scale of the opportunity ahead in AI-powered commerce.

“This approval gives us the flexibility to begin acting on that belief. Subject to completion of the remaining procedural steps and market conditions, we intend to commence repurchases where the Board believes doing so represents an attractive and disciplined use of capital.

“At the same time, we remain focused on growth. We continue to evaluate non-dilutive funding alternatives and strategic capital initiatives that could further enhance our flexibility over time, while preserving our ability to pursue strategic M&A, invest in the business and execute against our long-term plan.

“This is about confidence, discipline and shareholder value. We now have an important tool to act decisively and responsibly when we believe the market materially undervalues Rezolve Ai.”

The proposed repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number or dollar amount of shares, nor does it represent a commitment to deploy the full amount of the available capacity under the repurchase program. Any repurchases will be funded only from legally available funds and will remain subject to the Company’s liquidity position, capital allocation priorities, market conditions and applicable legal requirements. The program may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time.

Further details regarding the capital reduction and share repurchase authority will be included in the Company’s public filings.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including statements regarding the Company’s share repurchase program, the expected timing and implementation of any repurchases, the completion of remaining procedural requirements relating to the capital reduction, the Company’s capital allocation strategy, potential non-dilutive financing alternatives, strategic capital initiatives, potential M&A activity, market valuation, operating momentum, strategic position, growth prospects and long-term value creation.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. These risks include, among others, risks relating to the implementation of the proposed share repurchase program, completion of remaining procedural requirements relating to the capital reduction, market volatility, changes in trading liquidity, legal and regulatory restrictions, capital allocation requirements, business performance and other risks described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The share repurchase program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number or dollar amount of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time. Any repurchases will be made in compliance with applicable securities laws and other legal requirements.

Rezolve Ai undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

The expanded relationship builds on a series of agreements announced this year, strengthening Dentsply Sirona’s North American dealer network and giving more customers access to its products and technology.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dentsply Sirona (Nasdaq: XRAY), the world’s largest diversified manufacturer of professional dental products and technologies, today announced an expanded relationship with Midwest Dental Equipment & Supply, an independent, family-owned distributor of dental supplies, equipment, and technology.

Effective November 1, 2026, Midwest Dental will begin offering Dentsply Sirona’s technology portfolio in the United States, building on a relationship that has historically focused on consumables. The expanded relationship increases access to Dentsply Sirona’s digital dentistry solutions through Midwest Dental’s network of sales, service, and technical specialists.

The agreement reflects continued execution against Dentsply Sirona’s commitment to broaden access to its connected technology portfolio by expanding relationships with trusted distribution partners across North America.

In today’s busy marketplace, it is important for our customers to have an easy, seamless and profitable solution for same-visit crown restorations and Dentsply Sirona’s technology allows Midwest Dental to do that at the highest level”

PacBio Kinnex sequencing will generate full-length transcript data to help advance TychoBio’s drug discovery models

MENLO PARK, Calif. and PARIS, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — PacBio (NASDAQ: PACB), developer of the world’s most advanced sequencing technologies, and TychoBio, an AI drug discovery company, today announced a collaboration to generate full-length RNA data that TychoBio will use to train models for RNA therapy design. Under the terms of the agreement, TychoBio plans to use PacBio HiFi sequencing and Kinnex long-read RNA sequencing to generate data from more than 10,000 samples, building large-scale datasets linking the design of steric blocking antisense oligonucleotides (SBOs) to their effects across the transcriptome, with plans to expand the approach to siRNA and other RNA-targeting compounds.

TychoBio will test candidate RNA therapies and use PacBio sequencing to measure how each one changes the transcriptome across multiple cell types. Those results will become training data for models designed to predict which compounds are most likely to work, how long their effects may last, and where unintended effects may occur.

Training models for maximizing on-target efficacy and effect duration of SBOs requires an in-depth understanding of the interaction between SBOs and the cell’s transcriptome. By more fully characterizing the effect of SBOs in various cell lineages, TychoBio will unlock new insights into RNA regulation and SBOs mechanism of action, accelerating the development of safer and more efficient therapeutic designs.

“AI models are only as good as the data they are trained on. To effectively identify new rare disease treatments, we needed the highest quality biological data, which can only be generated using PacBio HiFi sequencing technology,” said Felix Raimundo, founder and CEO of TychoBio. “HiFi long read sequencing lets us see across full-length transcripts, including changes in isoforms and splicing of how the transcriptome is affected in rare diseases and which treatments could modify disease processes.” 

PacBio has partnered across the rare disease community to support the characterization, diagnosis and development of therapeutics to address the global burden of rare disease including through its global HiFiSolves Consortium, the n-Lorem Foundation and EspeRare, the GREGoR Consortium, Care4Rare Canada Consortium, the Genetic Alliance, Genomics England, and many academic collaborations. The company’s Kinnex products, alongside HiFi sequencing, enable screening of thousands of sequences in multiple cell lineages as well as the development of models of both efficacy and toxicity, which are critical to advance potential rare disease therapies out of the laboratory and into patient clinical trials.  

“Our work with TychoBio, like our collaboration with Basecamp Research, highlights the critical value that high-quality sequencing data plays in generating the foundational data that will power biological modeling in the AI ecosystem,” said Mark Van Oene, President and Chief Executive Officer of PacBio. “We believe that this critical work will enable the development of transformative therapies that ultimately improve the lives of patients with rare diseases and their families.” 

The collaboration puts HiFi data directly into the research workflow for designing RNA therapeutics for rare diseases.

Roth Capital’s recent Buy initiation adds to the Anticipation Surrounding Expected October FDA discussion and NeOnc’s scheduled November 17 meeting

DENVER, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — (247marketnews.com) — A fall calendar is bringing NeOnc Technologies Holdings’ (NASDAQ: NTHI) investigational brain-cancer programs into focus.

Anticipation is building as Roth Capital’s recent Buy initiation adds another Wall Street voice to the NTHI story. With Roth anticipating an October FDA discussion for NEO100 and NeOnc’s November 17 meeting for NEO212 on the calendar, the coming weeks put the company’s clinical development plans firmly in the spotlight.

For traders following biotech milestones, NTHI offers a timely story to research: clinical findings, regulatory discussions and the potential next steps for two brain-cancer therapies.

October: Attention turns to NEO100

Jonathan Aschoff’s research indicate that he anticipates an FDA Type B end-of-Phase 2 meeting for NEO100 in October. The Roth Capital analyst also sees pivotal trials potentially beginning before year-end.

The anticipated discussion could help clarify the program’s next clinical steps, including the evidence and study design needed to advance development. For investors following NeOnc, that makes regulatory feedback a central part of the fall watchlist.

November 17: NEO212 takes its turn

NeOnc has announced an in-person FDA End-of-Phase 1 Type B meeting for NEO212 on November 17, 2026, about six weeks away.

The company plans to discuss its proposed patient population, trial design, endpoints, dose selection and evidence needed to support a future marketing application.

Together, the anticipated NEO100 discussion and scheduled NEO212 meeting create two opportunities for greater clarity on NeOnc’s development strategy this fall.

Brain-cancer research gives the calendar substance

In August, NeOnc reported that its NEO100 Phase 2a study met its primary endpoint. The company reported six-month progression-free survival of 48.9%, compared with a prespecified historical benchmark of 20%, and median overall survival of 26.09 months.

The results came from an open-label, 24-patient study of patients with recurrent or progressive IDH1-mutant high-grade glioma. The findings now form part of the evidence supporting the company’s pursuit of further clinical development.

NEO100 is administered intranasally and is designed to address drug-delivery challenges associated with treating cancers in the brain. Alongside it, NeOnc is advancing NEO212, an investigational oral therapy.

Orphan Drug, Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease designations

NeOnc reports that NEO100 holds FDA Orphan Drug, Fast Track and Rare Pediatric Disease designations.

These designations add to the program’s regulatory background as NeOnc works toward its next development milestones. The upcoming discussions could help define how the company builds on its clinical findings and advances its investigational therapies.

Wall Street’s coverage has expanded

Roth Capital’s September 24 Buy initiation followed earlier Buy initiations from Alliance Global Partners, Maxim Group and BTIG.

That expanding coverage gives investors several analyst perspectives on NeOnc’s programs, development strategy and commercial potential. Roth’s recent initiation adds a fresh assessment as the company enters its fall regulatory window.

The catalyst window is here

For traders building a biotech watchlist, NTHI brings together several developments’ worth following: two investigational therapies, reported clinical progress, multiple Buy initiations and regulatory discussions approaching in October and November.

The next chapter will unfold through FDA feedback, company updates and subsequent clinical plans. With November 17 just over six weeks away and Roth anticipating a separate discussion this month, NeOnc has a calendar investors can follow closely.
