URGES SHAREHOLDERS TO DISREGARD MEDIPHARM’S GREEN PROXY CARD AND VOTE THE GOLD PROXY CARD “FOR” APOLLO CAPITAL’S SIX DIRECTOR NOMINEES

TORONTO, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Apollo Technology Capital Corporation (“Apollo Capital”), which together with its affiliates and associates collectively is one of the largest shareholders of MediPharm Labs Corp. (TSX: LABS) (OTCQB: MEDIF) (FSE: MLZ) (“MediPharm”, “MediPharm Labs”, or the “Company”), owning approximately 3.0% of the Company’s common stock, today announced that it has filed an amended and restated information circular (the “Circular”) in connection with its intention to nominate six highly qualified director candidates to MediPharm’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Company’s upcoming 2025 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 16, 2025 (the “Annual Meeting”).

Additionally, Apollo Capital launched a campaign website at www.CureMediPharm.com where shareholders can review the facts, understand what’s at stake, and learn how to protect the value of their investment. The website details Apollo Capital’s 5-Pillar Plan to restore value to MediPharm Labs, as well as specific actions that the nominees would take in their first 100 days of service on the Board. The 5-Pillar Plan includes:

1. Replace Failed Leadership with Aligned Executives
2. Implement Financial Discipline & Strategic Review
3. Retain Strategic Assets for Long-Term Shareholder Value
4. Unlock International Medical Growth
5. Restore Trust Through Transparency and Good Governance

The Circular and website present a clear and compelling case regarding MediPharm Labs’ severe underperformance, reckless strategic missteps, and alarming destruction of shareholder value, which have placed the company in serious jeopardy while the management team receives exorbitant pay packages. These failures have cost shareholders $1 billion, and reduced the Company’s cash position to just $8 million as of March 31, 2025 – on pace to reach zero by November 2025.

The Circular and website provide information about Apollo Capital’s nominees – John Fowler, Alan D. Lewis, David Lontini, Demetrios Mallios, Regan McGee, and Scott Walters – who are accomplished business leaders committed to openness and transparency in their dialogue with MediPharm Labs shareholders. In particular, they are prepared to answer any questions or address any concerns shareholders might have – even if they are difficult. This is a stark contrast to MediPharm Lab’s current Board and management team, which has avoided answering for their failures, including not holding a shareholder call for three quarters and not answering any of the questions Apollo put forth before the first quarter 2025 financial results call.

Apollo Capital believes a wholesale Board change at MediPharm Labs is the only path forward, and that shareholders must act now before it’s too late.

At www.CureMediPharm.com, shareholders can also sign up for important campaign updates.

The new data tool provides timely insights into post-fire needs across Los Angeles County

LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 211 LA has released new information on the county’s LA wildfire recovery efforts. The Wildfire Care Coordination Program Data Dashboard, which represents extensive, real-time post-fire recovery data shared by impacted households with 211 LA’s Care Coordination team, provides a snapshot into the ongoing needs of fire survivors.

211 LA has played a critical role in supporting Angelenos in the wake of the wildfires. Since disaster struck in January, the organization has responded to over 42,000 contacts from residents seeking wildfire recovery information and services and identified over 54,000 households in need of support through their online emergency response intake process.

“Behind every data point is a person still recovering from unimaginable loss,” says Maribel Marin, Executive Director of 211 LA. “This dashboard helps us not only understand the scale of the crisis, but also prepare for what comes next—so we can respond faster and smarter in the future, ensuring resources reach the communities that need them most.”

As Los Angeles continues to grapple with the aftermath of the January 2025 wildfires, the scale of devastation remains staggering. The fires resulted in some of the most severe winter wildfire impacts in California’s history, causing widespread damage and forcing many residents to leave their homes. Today, thousands of people remain displaced and in urgent need of shelter, supplies, and support as the community begins the long process of recovery and rebuilding.

Jacqueline Ablouh, a lifelong Altadena resident, lost her home in minutes after wildfires forced her, her retired mother, and her six-year-old son to evacuate overnight. In the chaos that followed, Jackie struggled to navigate the complex system of recovery as a renter, facing repeated roadblocks to housing due to credit issues. Support from local organizations—including 211 LA—has helped her access essential relief like meals, mattresses, and emotional support, and her Care Coordinator is now working with her to secure a temporary rental. Despite living in her car, Jackie remains focused on keeping her family together and is determined to one day give back to the community that helped her survive.

“I’m glad I have advocates at 211 LA. I totally didn’t expect it, I was blown away. All the nonprofits—and everyone that doesn’t have to or need to help—are the ones who helped out,” said Jaqueline. “Red Cross, World Central Kitchen, they were amazing for me. I’ve never reached out to these services before, but this is not a situation where you can’t. I mean, I still have the same two outfits because I don’t even want to think about buying clothes with any money we receive. But, I got my son a new lunch box for school. He loves his school—and he was the only one out of school [due to the fire].”

By partnering with government agencies, community-based nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and corporate partners, 211 LA has been able to connect wildfire survivors to an array of resources quickly and efficiently.

“In the face of the most devastating fires our County has ever seen, I’m proud that Los Angeles County—and partners like 211 LA—were there when people needed help most,” said Supervisor Lindsey P. Horvath. “The data now confirms what so many survivors already know: 211 LA helped thousands access life-saving resources like emergency housing, food, and clothing. As we move forward, this kind of partnership and insight will be essential to building a recovery that is not only equitable, but also enduring. The data they’ve gathered will be critical in helping us target support where it’s needed most.”

“As we continue to recover from the devastating January wildfires, I appreciate the ongoing support from all of our community partners,” said Supervisor Kathryn Barger. “The Wildfire Care Coordination Program Data Dashboard provides helpful insight into the needs of our residents. I am a strong supporter of using a data-driven approach to ensure we are providing essential support to those impacted and strengthen our response moving forward.”

211 LA’s dashboard offers real-time data about the needs reported by impacted households accessing services through the hotline, but does not capture the full scope of challenges facing the Los Angeles community. As wildfire recovery efforts continue, ongoing support for fire survivors—including investments to expand capacity and increase access to recovery programs—will be essential to meeting the evolving needs of impacted communities.

About 211 LA
211 LA is the hub for community members and community organizations looking for all types of health, human, and social services in Los Angeles County. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, 211 LA has served the people of Los Angeles County since 1981, helping residents navigate the most challenging crises, from homelessness to the COVID-19 pandemic to the devastating LA wildfires.

80% of Beaches Tested Failed To Meet State Health Standards at Least Once in 2024

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif., May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start to summer, the Surfrider Foundation is releasing its annual Clean Water Report to help keep you and your family safe at the beach. This comprehensive annual report showcases three key elements: the achievements of Surfrider’s Blue Water Task Force and Ocean Friendly Gardens programs; case studies of Surfrider chapters using these programs to solve local pollution problems; and Surfrider’s top ten beach bacteria hot spots — popular recreational beaches where testing consistently reveals dangerous levels of fecal bacteria that threaten the health of swimmers, surfers, and families.

Americans love the beach. More than 100 million beachgoers flock to U.S. beaches every year to enjoy the sand, sunshine, and water. Not only do our beaches provide an opportunity for rest and relaxation, but they are also the foundation of valuable coastal tourism and ocean recreation industries that sustain 2.5 million jobs nationwide and contribute $240 billion in gross domestic product to the national economy each year. Despite the inherent value of our nation’s coastal resources, the CDC estimates that more than 5 million people get sick from swimming in contaminated water each year.

Surfrider’s data clearly demonstrates why: 80% of the beaches tested (483 of 604) exceeded state health standards at least once in 2024, and 25% of all samples measured high bacteria levels, up from 22% in 2023.

ACCESS SURFRIDER’S CLEAN WATER REPORT HERE

Since the Surfrider Foundation was founded in 1984, improving coastal water quality has been one of its top priorities. Through its Clean Water Initiative, Surfrider strives to protect water quality and reduce pollution so it is safe for you and your family to surf, swim, and play in our ocean and coastal waterways. Surfrider’s Blue Water Task Force is the largest volunteer-run beach water testing program in the U.S., with a national network of 60 chapter-led labs that process over 10,000 water samples to measure bacteria levels at more than 600 locations across the country.

Nearly 10 trillion gallons of untreated stormwater runoff flow into U.S. waterways every year, carrying a cocktail of pollutants including road dust, oil, animal waste, fertilizers, and other chemicals. Years of neglect and underfunding have also left America’s outdated wastewater infrastructure in disrepair, threatening coastal water quality by discharging raw and undertreated sewage into our local waterways and ocean at a rate of over 900 billion gallons every year. This untreated sewage can contain bacteria, viruses, and parasites that make people sick with gastrointestinal symptoms, rashes, skin and eye infections, flu-like symptoms, and worse. Sewage and stormwater runoff also pollute waterways with excess nutrients, wreaking havoc on coastal ecosystems by fueling harmful algal blooms that put human health at risk and result in fish kills, coral reef die-offs, and even the mass starvation of endangered manatees in Florida’s Indian River Lagoon.

“Everyone deserves access to clean water to surf, swim, and play in. That’s why Surfrider advocates for strong laws and sufficient funding to monitor and protect water quality. We ensure that people have access to the information they need to protect themselves and the health of their families when recreating at the beach and in our coastal waterways,” explains Mara Dias, Surfrider’s Water Quality Initiative Senior Manager. “When we see information gaps in government testing programs that leave public health unprotected, we seek to meet those community needs with our Blue Water Task Force water quality monitoring program. And when more collaborative approaches fail, the Surfrider Foundation has the expertise to bring issues to the courts to ensure proper enforcement of the Clean Water Act to protect clean water for all people.”

The Surfrider Foundation is not only testing the water, but it is also leading the nationwide Ocean Friendly Gardens program that is educating communities and local officials on the actions that can be taken in yards and neighborhoods to reduce the amount of polluted runoff that flows into our waterways and out to the ocean.

Stormwater runoff has long been the number one cause of beach closures and swimming advisories in the U.S. However, more frequent extreme weather events along our coasts caused by climate change are generating massive amounts of stormwater that overwhelm our wastewater systems, causing infrastructure failures and sewage spills with increasing frequency. Unfortunately, the President’s budget proposal for next year (FY2026) eliminates all funding for the EPA’s BEACH Act Grants program that funds beach water quality monitoring and public notification programs in 35 coastal states and territories — which could leave families completely blind to pollution issues at America’s beaches. Significant investments need to be made now to prepare our coastal communities to become more resilient and to better manage our water resources, because no one should get sick from spending a day at the beach.

About the Surfrider Foundation:

The Surfrider Foundation is a nonprofit grassroots organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of our world’s ocean, waves, and beaches for all people through a powerful activist network. Founded in 1984 by a handful of visionary surfers in Malibu, California, the Surfrider Foundation now maintains over one million supporters, activists, and members, with more than 200 volunteer-led chapters and student clubs in the U.S., and more than 900 victories protecting our coasts.

TIANJIN, China, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Imagine controlling objects with your mind, like a Marvel Comic superhero. In Tianjin, this fantasy is becoming reality. Picture Osuagwu Obinna Ikechukwu, a young Nigerian researcher at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS), wearing a headset connected to a wearable “backpack,” attempting to lift a bottle using only his thoughts. With the help of a futuristic “sixth finger” device developed by Tianjin University (TJU)’s Brain-Computer Interaction and Human-Machine Integration team, he succeeded. “Amazing!” he exclaimed, a sentiment echoed by four other international researchers on this unforgettable journey.

Hosted by S&T Daily, this week-long expedition was a deep dive into China’s innovation ecosystem and cultural heritage. The group of young international innovators explored how China at large is embracing the future through science, technology and global collaboration.

Hard tech: the future has arrived

Tianjin’s high-tech zones embody China’s vision for a smarter, greener and more connected world. At the heart of this innovation engine is TJU, one of the powerhouses of talent and research.

TJU’s close collaboration with the high-tech zones fosters breakthroughs in research, innovation and industrial development. The university supplies academic expertise and talent, while the zones provide real-world applications and commercialization opportunities.

At TJU Medical School, for example, the students experienced revolutionary non-invasive brain-computer interface technology. Meanwhile, at the School of Marine Science and Technology, they navigated a ship-handling simulator replicating real-world navigation conditions and complete with dynamic weather and sea environments. Timothy Hutagaol, an Indonesian student at TJU, was particularly impressed by the ASEAN-China Marine Education Big Data Platform, a digital tool enhancing regional cooperation.

“What fascinates me about China is how deeply technology is integrated into everyday life — in every sector, you see it fully implemented,” Timothy said.

But innovation in Tianjin isn’t confined to labs. The journey also revealed a seamless blend of culture and technology. Kazakh student Akbayan Yerlankyzy from UCAS, an architecture enthusiast, was captivated by traditional design principles at the TJU Institute of Architectural History and Heritage Conservation.

The group participated in a hands-on workshop assembling wooden structures using ancient techniques, including the iconic dougong, interlocking brackets that define classical Chinese architecture. “This activity showed us the harmony between structure, aesthetics and tradition,” Obinna said.

For TJU student Song Ziyan, the exchange highlighted technology’s role in preserving heritage. “I didn’t expect foreign students to be so passionate about this field. Their curiosity embodies the spirit of people-to-people exchange,” Song said.

However, as young French researcher Theo Yossa at UCAS noted, “Many French people recognize China’s technological advancement but may not fully grasp its depth in certain areas. Better information sharing could enhance cooperation and mutual awareness.”

This sentiment aligns with China’s commitment to openness. A prime example is Danfoss, a leading Danish heating technology company, which made its first investment in China in 1996 by establishing Danfoss (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. After over two decades, the subsidiary has developed into a modern factory integrating research and development and intelligent manufacturing. Here, cutting-edge automation meets sustainability, proving that Industry 4.0 is a tangible force driving efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Soft environment: where ideas grow

But innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. The soft environment, like supportive policies, infrastructure and a culture of entrepreneurship, is just as important. That’s where places like the National Offshore Entrepreneurial Base for Overseas Professionals come in. Designed to welcome international startups, it provides the tools, mentorship and networks needed to turn ideas into scalable businesses.

At the base, Moaaz Awan from Pakistan was intrigued by the streamlined process for obtaining China’s Permanent Residence Card. “If you meet residency and employment requirements, applying for permanent residence becomes a major incentive for long-term stays,” he said.

A young entrepreneur, Richard Gao, who returned to China from France to launch his startup, emphasized the base’s value: “It connects research institutions, universities and companies, as a one-stop solution for businesses.”

These young innovators were impressed by the fertile environment provided by the base and China. They said China offers subsidized offices, business expense support, and even seed funding for strong projects. These are excellent examples of practical incentives.

For those who witness China’s development course, its openness isn’t just rhetoric. “Cities like Tianjin, Beijing and Guangzhou each offer unique policy experiments,” Awan observed. “This mix-and-match approach helps businesses find their ideal ecosystem.”

A recent milestone in the Tianjin tech world is the launch of the city’s first fully foreign-owned hospital by a Singaporean group. “While not all sectors are fully open, the trend is clear,” Awan said. “This is the time to seize opportunities and share them globally.”

At the same time, the Peking University Entrepreneurship Camp in Tianjin showcases how academia and industry collaborate to accelerate intelligent technologies, from AI to robotics. Meanwhile, at Assure Power Technology (Tianjin), a company incubated in the camp, the research team shared their breakthrough in low-wind turbine technology, an innovation supporting China’s clean energy goals and opening doors for global partnerships, particularly with countries like Indonesia.

“This experience proved green energy isn’t just a scientific challenge,” Obinna concluded. “It’s a bridge for worldwide sustainability collaboration.”

MIAMI, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CommunityRewards™ powered by Points4Purpose, Inc. is pleased to announce its new charity partnership with the Juanfe Foundation, a Colombian-based charity dedicated to empowering young Latina women and moms throughout South America through educational, mental health and job training programs.

Through this strategic partnership, CommunityRewards™ is hosting a fundraiser on its loyalty rewards platform as one of its featured charity organizations so that shoppers can micro-donate a portion of their cashback rewards to the organization and support its on-going efforts to help impoverished women and children in need throughout South America.

As a growing AI-powered loyalty rewards and micro-donation platform that helps businesses enhance their bottom line through charitable giving and rewards marketing solutions, CommunityRewards leadership team is proud to support women in need. “As so many charities across the U.S. and South America continue to see the federal government cut funding, we’re working towards bridging the gap and providing charities a new source of micro-funding,” said James Trocme, Chief Operating Officer of Points4Purpose, Inc.

CommunityRewards™ is on a mission to transform everyday spending into opportunities for both personal fulfillment and charitable giving powered by encrypted, card-linking technology, generative AI and big data. “This is a first-of-its-kind rewards platform that infuses micro-charitable donations into regular, everyday financial transactions. We hope through this new partnership with Juanfe, the Latin community in Miami with family and friends living in Colombia will take advantage of our free platform to earn cashback and give back to charities like Juanfe that are supporting women and children get out of poverty with job training programs,” Trocme continued.

The CommunityRewards™ platform is designed to make it easy for businesses, charities and shoppers alike to join and participate without any IT integration, which is often required with other software solutions. “We’ve kept it simple with the CommunityRewards platform–Members can join for free, connect their preferred Visa, MasterCard or American Express card to their CommunityRewards™ Member ID, select their preferred charity and the percentage of cashback they wish to donate, and then begin simultaneously earning cashback on qualifying purchases while supporting a great charity like Juanfe,” Trocme said.

Juanfe was founded by Catalina Escobar after tragically losing her one and a half year old son. Following his untimely passing, Escobar made it her mission to solve the infant mortality epidemic in Colombia that so many Latina women were battling. “When I first founded Juanfe, with as little as $100, we were able to provide essential medical care and treatments to impoverished young mothers in Colombia and significantly reduce newborn mortality,” Escobar said. Fast forward to 2025, after drastically reducing the infant mortality rate, Juanfe has expanded its programs and services to help teenage mothers living in extreme poverty. “This is one of Colombia’s and Latin America’s biggest socioeconomic problems–teen pregnancy. We’ve developed new mental health counseling and jobs programs to empower young teen moms with information and respectable jobs that will allow them to support their families. Most recently, we just added a new program within our charity that actively addresses the sex trafficking and sexual abuse crisis affecting so many young, impressionable and impoverished Latina teenage girls in high school,” Escobar said.

Juanfe recently expanded its services and programs beyond Colombia to help young Venezuela girls escape the sex work, human trafficking and drug dealing industries by providing technical job training and job placement support, ultimately enabling them to enter the traditional job market and do a job they enjoy with dignity and pride. “We’re ecstatic to partner with CommunityRewards to help raise awareness about the adversities that young impoverished girls throughout South America are experiencing. We’re also grateful for the micro-fundraising being done on the CommunityRewards™ platform,” Escobar continued.

CHICAGO, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Delta Dental released its 2025 State of America’s Oral Health and Wellness Report, a nationwide analysis of consumer opinions and behaviors relating to oral health. Now in its fifth year, Delta Dental commissioned the research of 2,000 U.S. adults and parents of children 12 and under.

The report reveals that the state of U.S. oral health is generally positive, but areas for improvement remain. While adults maintain near-universal awareness of the relationship between oral health and overall wellness, there is a reduced understanding of the direct correlation between oral health and specific health conditions such as heart disease, respiratory illness, and high blood pressure compared to last year.

Further, the report finds that intentions for good oral hygiene remain strong, but dental visit anxiety and dips in at-home oral health care have impacted some adults and children.

“Oral health is a cornerstone of overall wellness, and while it is encouraging to see that most adults recognize this important connection, greater efforts are needed to demonstrate its critical role in preventing and managing systemic health conditions,” said James W. Hutchison, President & CEO, Delta Dental Plans Association. “As the nation’s leading dental benefits provider, we are committed to ensuring continued dialogue and supporting access to care so that everyone can prioritize and safeguard their oral and overall health.”

Below are additional key findings from the 2025 State of America’s Oral Health and Wellness Report:

Dental anxiety is a notable barrier to care

• More than 1 in 5 (21%) adults have avoided dental care due to anxiety, and 1 in 7 (14%) parents have skipped taking their children to the dentist for the same reason.
• Fear of pain or discomfort was the top reported reason among adults (59%) and children (72%) who have experienced dental visit anxiety.

Closing the gap in prenatal oral health care

• A majority of women (54%) who are or have been pregnant are likely to prioritize dental visits, as they believe it is as important as their annual physical.
• One third (33%) of adults understand that pregnant individuals are at greater risk for gum disease, while over 1 in 4 (26%) recognize this may be associated with adverse outcomes such as pre-term birth and low birth weight.

Preventive dental visits are prioritized

• The frequency of preventive visits among adults who made a trip to the dentist in 2024 remained steady (84%) compared to 2023 (83%).
• Notably, there is a significant corresponding drop in unexpected visits among adults, decreasing from 36% in 2023 to 22% in 2024.
• Cosmetic visits experienced a sharp decline from 12% in 2023 to 4% in 2024.

• 1,000 nationally representative U.S. adults ages 18+
• 1,000 parents of children ages 12 and under

Geographic distribution quotas were set to ensure a reliable and accurate representation of the U.S. population of adults and parents with children ages 12 and under. Research in this report has a margin of error of +/- 3%.
