SYDNEY, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Manchester City Women are Women’s Super League Champions and official trading partner Axi is marking the moment in style.

Under head coach Andree Jeglertz, Manchester City Women delivered an outstanding WSL campaign playing direct, explosive football that set the standard the rest of the division could not match. Week after week they raised the bar, and when the title arrived, nobody was surprised. They had earned it.

Today, Axi has launched My Roots a new campaign celebrating the WSL Champions and announced a significant donation to the City Girls Programme, run by City in the Community, the official charity of Manchester City Football Club.

A campaign built around the women who did it

My Roots is built on the shared conviction that great performance comes through preparation, consistency, and the courage to compete when it matters most, values that have always connected Axi and Manchester City. As the club’s official trading partner, Axi has been part of that journey from the very beginning.

Julie Sharova, Head of Global Marketing at Axi, said:

“Manchester City Women are WSL Champions and they have earned every bit of that title. There is something about this team —  the way they carry themselves, the standards they hold themselves to, the way they lift each other — that speaks directly to what we believe in at Axi. My Roots is our way of celebrating them. And our donation to the City Girls Programme is our way of making sure the next generation of women in sport, in trading, in whatever they choose has the chance to create their own defining moments.”

Backing Women in Sport

The City Girls Programme increases female participation in sport, builds leadership pathways, and delivers grassroots opportunities for women and girls across Greater Manchester. Axi’s donation reflects a partnership built on more than branding. It is a long-term commitment to the community Manchester City represents.

The Office of Connected Care Help Desk doubles its milestone, reflecting the growing demand and growing impact of telehealth for Veterans

FAIRFAX, Va., May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GovCIO is proud to celebrate a major milestone: the VA’s Office of Connected Care Help Desk (OCCHD), which GovCIO supports under the Connected Care Integrated Network (CCIN) contract, has closed its two-millionth support ticket, doubling the historic one-million mark reached in July 2022.

Each ticket represents a Veteran or VA provider supported in accessing or delivering care. The OCCHD team provides round-the-clock help across VA’s telehealth ecosystem, from troubleshooting video appointments to guiding someone through VA Video Connect for the first time, contributing to more than two million completed support requests. In a 2021 customer satisfaction survey, Veterans and providers rated the help desk 4.7 out of 5 — a score that reflects both the technical quality of support and the human care behind every interaction.

The help desk has operated for over a decade, growing from a 16-person team in 2012 into a 130-member operation that fields 1,700 interactions per day, with an average answer time of 15 seconds. Its reach expanded significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when ticket volume surged to more than 2,000 per day as Veterans and providers rapidly shifted to virtual care. The team scaled to meet that demand and never stopped.

“Behind every ticket is either a Veteran trying to get care or a VA team member working to deliver it. Two million tickets mean two million opportunities to make sure neither has to figure it out alone,” said Alex Mujica, Senior Vice President, GovCIO.

GovCIO supports the OCCHD through the CCIN contract, a seven-year vehicle under the Veterans Health Administration’s Digital Health Office that serves more than 4 million Veterans. GovCIO brings its capabilities in Agile DevSecOps, artificial intelligence, and connected care technology to ensure VA telehealth remains reliable and Veteran-ready.

“Milestones like this remind us of the impact our work has on the Veteran community,” said Kristin Gill, Sector President, GovCIO. “Our team values the opportunity to provide top level service around the clock.”

GovCIO is a rapidly growing provider of advanced technology solutions and digital services for the federal government.

Platform has routed $6B+ in volume across 100+ blockchain networks for 1M+ users since January 2023 launch

ZUG, Switzerland, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Squid, a cross-chain platform connecting networks, liquidity sources, and applications to power the movement of digital assets across crypto, today announces $6M in funding led by North Island Ventures. Participating investors include Ripple, Dialectic, Borderless, Scenius Capital, Altos, and Arche Capital, along with angels from Axelar, Ledger, Polymer, Enso, and Peanut. Since launching in January 2023, Squid has routed over $6 billion in volume through more than 4 million transactions, serving over one million users and generating revenue through enterprise services and soon transaction fees. The funding will accelerate Squid’s expansion into consumer products that make accessing and managing digital assets across blockchains simple enough that users never need to think about the infrastructure underneath.

Squid’s existing app already enables any-to-any token movement across fundamentally different ecosystems, including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Cosmos, and XRPL, in a single transaction. As digital assets increasingly span multiple blockchain ecosystems through stablecoins, tokenized securities, and a growing number of networks, the expanded consumer offering is building on that same infrastructure to address a problem that grows with the industry itself. Because Squid owns every layer of its stack from execution engine through developer tools, the team can deliver that experience directly rather than assembling third-party components.

“Squid has demonstrated that cross-chain infrastructure can generate real revenue from real usage, and that the team can ship consistently across market cycles,” said Travis Scher, Co-Founder & Managing Partner at North Island Ventures. “We led the seed round because the founding team and the technical approach were compelling. We’re leading again because Squid has executed on that thesis.”

“We built Peanut on Squid from day one. The routing handles the complexity of cross-chain payments so our users never have to think about it, and the team has been responsive and reliable at every step. When the opportunity came to invest, the decision was easy; I’ve seen what Squid delivers from the inside.” — Konrad Urban, Co-Founder at Peanut

“Squid owns every layer of its technology, from the settlement protocol through developer tools to the products people actually use,” said Christina Rud, Co-Founder at Squid. “That full-stack approach means we can connect any chain, support any token, and serve any audience, whether that’s a developer integrating our SDK, a blockchain foundation connecting its ecosystem, or an individual swapping assets on our app. We have product-market fit, we have revenue, and we have the relationships across this industry to keep compounding both.”

Squid is the most connected multi-chain platform, reaching ecosystems without smart contracts, including Bitcoin and XRPL. Its execution layer, Squid Intents, uses market makers to fill cross-chain transactions and settles them through Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) rather than requiring contract deployments on every chain. This allows the platform to support 100+ networks with the best execution and 99.99% uptime.

With the funding secured, Squid will expand its consumer product offering, deepen partnerships with the chains and applications already building on its infrastructure, and extend network coverage into institutional ecosystems. The team expects to share more about its consumer roadmap in the coming months.

About Squid

Squid makes crypto whole with one complete platform for every asset, every market, and every user, through every surface and product. The stack spans from settlement protocol (Squid Intents) through aggregation and routing engine, developer tools (SDK, API, widgets), and consumer-facing products across 100+ blockchain networks. Squid supports 20,000+ tokens across every major ecosystem and has facilitated over $6B in lifetime volume since its January 2023 launch.

The survey gathered responses from 6,282 patients in total, including a 5,128-patient sub-cohort prescribed treatment for anxiety, depression or PTSD, reflecting a population with long-term and often complex clinical needs. Among this group, 97.6% reported improvement in symptoms, 92.3% reported improved sleep, and 93.5% reported improved day-to-day functioning. A further 90.7% said medical cannabis was more effective than previous treatments they had tried, while 88.3% described it as the most effective treatment pathway they had used.

The findings come amid sustained pressure on UK mental health services, with more than four million people in contact with NHS mental health, learning disability and autism services in 2024/25. Published estimates from the STAR*D trial and subsequent analyses suggest around 30% of patients with major depression do not achieve adequate symptom relief after multiple treatment attempts.

While the clinics stress that these cross-sectional, voluntary patient survey findings should not be interpreted as definitive evidence of efficacy, they add to a growing body of real-world evidence, including the UK Medical Cannabis Registry and Project Twenty21, supporting considered prescribing in patients who have not benefited from first-line interventions.

In the UK, medical cannabis can only be prescribed by doctors listed on the GMC Specialist Register under Care Quality Commission-regulated clinical frameworks. The consortium said this is the first time multiple UK medical cannabis clinics have pooled patient experience data at this scale, with plans to repeat the survey annually and support further research into treatment-resistant mental health conditions.

“Stay in the Game” – A Shared Commitment to Excellence, Innovation, and Endurance.

LISBON, Portugal, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Changan Automobile today announced a global strategic partnership with the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), becoming the Official Global Partner of the Portugal National Football Team. The announcement ceremony took place at Cidade do Futebol, the heart of Portuguese football, marking a significant milestone in Changan’s long term commitment to the European market.

The route will span from Lisbon to Madrid to Turin, showcasing Changan’s PHEV capabilities through real-world testing across diverse road and climate conditions, including verification of the 1000 km+ range.

Known as “The Team of the Quinas” (the crest of the Team features the five blue shields (quinas) from the Portuguese coat of arms), the Portugal National Football Team is one of the most recognized teams in global football, with a fanbase exceeding 500 million supporters worldwide.

“This partnership with Changan Automobile reflects the growing international relevance of Portuguese football and the values that define our Federation: ambition, innovation, resilience, and excellence. We are proud to join forces with a global brand that shares our long-term vision and commitment to continuous development, both on and off the pitch.” FPF Commercial says.

As Changan Automobile accelerates its global expansion under the Vast Ocean Plan, Europe stands as a strategic priority. The collaboration with the FPF will support localized product planning and brand engagement across the region.

The focus centers on Changan’s advanced New Energy Vehicle (NEV) lineup—including the CHANGAN NEVO Q05, CHANGAN DEEPAL models (S05/S07), and the premium intelligent AVATR vehicles (the Luxury SUV AVATR 11 and Futuristic Luxury Gran Coupe AVATR 12)—seamlessly bringing cutting-edge automotive innovation to Europe’s passionate football community.

ANNAPOLIS, Md., May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 11 South Acton Place has been listed for $7,999,000 by The Shawn Martin Group, powered by PLACE. The fully renovated Dutch Colonial waterfront residence sits in the Murray Hill neighborhood of downtown Annapolis.

The three-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence spans 4,142 square feet across three finished levels, each with water views. A comprehensive renovation by Bohan Contracting, permitted and inspected by the City of Annapolis, reimagined every room, every surface, and every system. The home has never been lived in post-renovation. Finishes include a full JennAir Noir appliance suite, Calacatta Miraggio Cielo quartz countertops, Waterworks faucets throughout, Schrock Trademark maple cabinetry, wide plank white oak hardwood by Bella Citta throughout all three levels, and three custom plaster fireplaces each with a distinct design and finish.

“This is warm, modern-day Annapolis at its finest,” said Shawn Martin, founder of The Shawn Martin Group. “The renovation was executed with a focus on high-quality materials that are understated and precise. Nothing over the top or flashy. What makes this property truly singular is the land.

Together, they make this property remarkable.”

The listing comes to market ahead of Commissioning Week, the annual celebration of Naval Academy graduation that draws significant visitor and buyer traffic to Annapolis each May.

Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) recently experienced a notable drop in stock prices following its latest earnings report, a scenario that has repeated in past quarters. Analysts and investors alike have been quick to react, reassessing their positions based on the financial data presented. However, there’s a growing sentiment that the market may be overreacting to short-term fluctuations, potentially missing the bigger picture of Nvidia’s long-term value.

The earnings report revealed that Nvidia’s revenues fell short of expectations, a factor that immediately triggered a sell-off. This pattern isn’t new for Nvidia, as the company’s stock has historically faced volatility around earnings announcements. Despite these declines, Nvidia’s core business remains robust, with continued advancements in artificial intelligence and graphics processing units (GPUs) that drive growth.

Investors concerned about the immediate impact of these earnings should consider the company’s strategic investments and partnerships. Nvidia’s leadership in AI technology and its role in powering data centers around the world are key components of its growth strategy. Furthermore, the company’s expansion into new markets, such as autonomous vehicles and gaming, presents additional revenue streams that could bolster future earnings.

Market analysts argue that the current drop in Nvidia’s stock price may provide an opportunity for long-term investors. The company’s innovative approach and consistent R&D investment suggest that it is well-positioned to capitalize on technological trends that will shape the future. As Nvidia continues to push the boundaries in AI and GPU performance, its potential for growth remains strong.

It’s important to acknowledge that while short-term earnings may fluctuate, the underlying fundamentals that drive Nvidia’s success are still intact. The company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology and expanding its market presence underscores its resilience in a competitive industry landscape.

Looking ahead, Nvidia’s focus on strategic acquisitions and partnerships will likely play a crucial role in its growth trajectory. By aligning with industry leaders and exploring new technological frontiers, Nvidia aims to strengthen its market position and enhance shareholder value.

In summary, while Nvidia’s recent earnings report has led to a temporary drop in its stock price, the long-term outlook for the company remains optimistic. Investors who focus on the company’s strategic vision and technological innovations may find that the current market reaction presents a valuable entry point.

Following heavy debate at the Los Angeles Vertical Drama Market, the AI-native pioneer scales its $2M incubator to empower creators producing social thrillers, sports dramas, and fantasy adventures at 3% of legacy production costs

LOS ANGELES, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Returning from the frontline of the Los Angeles Vertical Drama Market (LAVDM), Anamana, the world’s first integrated creator ecosystem for AI-native micro-serials, today issued an industry-wide challenge to the ROI-driven incumbents dominating the $5 billion global short-drama market outside of China. 

While Chinese-led market titans like DramaBox used the four-day event to double down on highly profitable, formulaic “romantasy” tropes , Anamana is scaling its Anamana 100 Creator Incubator to prove that vertical, 9:16 mobile storytelling can successfully hold expansive narratives that captivate broader, diversified audiences. Backed by its proprietary agentic AI production platform, Anamana Studio, the company enables independent creators to bypass traditional cost bottlenecks — reducing production barriers by 97% and providing the economic freedom to take narrative risks.

According to Kai Pan, the Anamana executive who represented the company at LAVDM, the prevailing wisdom at the industry event was that micro-dramas are forever bound to pulp-romance playbooks. Anamana publicly rejects this limitation, pointing to a creative ceiling hit by traditional content factories that rely heavily on translating or “reskinning” identical scripts.

This commitment to creative diversification is reflected across Anamana’s global cohort, where creators are actively pushing past conventional genre boundaries: 

In Tokyo, Japan, director Masashi Kawamata is developing I am AI, a social media thriller tracking an influencer whose identity is weaponized against her via deepfake technology. 

“Micro-dramas today are built around very specific emotional transactions that have become commodified and safe,” said Masashi Kawamata. “The industry relies on billionaire CEOs and revenge marriages because they are emotionally efficient. The ceiling for this medium is much higher than what most platforms are willing to test, and Anamana understands that recognition and honesty create viewer loyalty in a way that cheap wish-fulfillment cannot.” 

In Bristol, UK, screenwriter Aishwarya Shah is producing Thin Ice, a high-stakes sports drama within a story about corruption, property redevelopment and family pressure.

“I think a lot of platforms would’ve wanted my concept flattened into a much safer, more straightforward romance very quickly,” added Aishwarya Shah. “But Anamana is committed to treating their audiences as intelligent and recognizes the hunger for stronger stories in more compelling worlds, while maintaining the pace and drama of the format.” 

In Berlin, Germany, filmmakers Markus and Tanja Laukkanen are directing Epic Quest Saga, a whimsical fantasy adventure inspired by Nordic mythology and folklore.

“Instead of making the story safer or smaller, Anamana pushed us to make it stranger, faster-paced, funnier, and more entertaining,” shared the Laukkanens. “That creative freedom is rare, especially in a market that can become overly focused on repeating existing formulas, and has been incredibly refreshing for us as filmmakers!”

On a smartphone, an audience is always a single “muscle twitch” away from abandoning content for a push notification or a social feed. While incumbents fight this distraction with endless melodramatic tropes , Anamana’s platform relies on high-resonance, diverse storytelling to drive audience retention. 

Anamana is currently deploying its initial $2 million Anamana 100 Creator Incubator fund to greenlight non-traditional genre projects from creators across five continents. Commercial availability of the Anamana Studio production platform for non-incubated creators is expected in 2026 Q3.

About Anamana

Founded in 2025, Anamana is an integrated AI-native micro-serial platform, production platform, and global creator ecosystem incubator. Human storytellers use the agentic AI Anamana Studio production platform to produce high-fidelity serialized video content with up to 97% lower capital, time, and manpower costs, lowering barriers to creation and increasing accessibility to individual creators. Micro-serials produced are then distributed to the market on Anamana’s own standalone app or third-party video services including YouTube or TikTok.

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

WINNIPEG, MB, May 21, 2026 /CNW/ – Marwest Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust (the “REIT”) (TSXV: MAR.UN) reported financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.  This press release should be read in conjunction with the REIT’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“Q1 2026 MD&A“) for the three months ended March 31, 2026, which are available on the REIT’s website at www.marwestreit.com and at www.sedarplus.ca.

“Q1 has shown stable occupancy with rental increases of 1.9% over the same period last year.  We anticipate continued modest increases throughout the remainder of 2026, due to reduced immigration and non-renewal of existing non-resident visa’s” commented Mr. William Martens, Chief Executive Officer of the REIT. 

Q1 2026 Quarterly Highlights

• Same Property Revenue increased by 2.22% in the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to same period 2025
• $79,261 of positive cash was generated during the three months ended March 31, 2026
• Reported Net Asset Value per Unit (“NAV“) of $2.47 at March 31, 2026 compared to $2.46 at December 31, 2025
• Average occupancy rate of 98.37% reported for the three months ended March 31, 2026 in line with 98.14% in the same period 2025

Operations Summary

Financial Summary

The REIT generated FFO and AFFO per Unit of $0.0267 and $0.0256, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2026.  FFO and AFFO are defined in “Non-IFRS Measures” in the March 31, 2026 MD&A and below under “Notice with respect to Non-IFRS Measures”.

The overall increase in NAV from $2.46 at December 31, 2025 to $2.47 at March 31, 2026, was primarily due to net operating income less finance costs and general and administrative expenses exceeding distributions.

Outlook

Management is focused on growing the portfolio and Unitholder value through increasing rental rates where the market allows, future acquisition opportunities that will increase the overall size and performance of the REIT, as well as maintaining a manageable debt structure.   The current debt structure of the REIT is all at fixed rates with an average remaining mortgage term of over four years.  The majority of the REIT’s debt is CMHC insured.

Management believes the organic growth in NAV due to paydown of debt over the mortgage terms is a positive outcome of the higher leveraged position as well as lowering the REIT’s debt to GBV ratio and thereby increasing the NAV per Unit over time.

Management anticipates that demand for rental housing will remain stable due to the affordability gap in rental vs. home ownership and the potential tariffs with the United States.  As interest rates remain at elevated levels and costs of construction remain relatively high, the increased costs of home ownership maintains the affordability gap.

Any increase in the portfolio’s operating costs due to inflation may be offset by increases in rental rates, where the market allows, as 56 percent of the portfolio at March 31, 2026 is not under rent control or restrictive financing agreements.

About Marwest Apartment Real Estate Investment Trust

The REIT is an unincorporated open-ended trust governed by the laws of the Province of Manitoba. The REIT was formed to provide holders of Units with the opportunity to invest in the Canadian multi-family rental sector through the ownership of high-quality income-producing properties, with an initial focus on stable markets throughout Western Canada.

The information in this news release includes certain information and statements about management’s views of future events, expectations, plans and prospects that constitute forward‐looking statements. These statements are based upon assumptions that are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.  Because of these risks and uncertainties and as a result of a variety of factors, the actual results, expectations, achievements or performance may differ materially from those anticipated and indicated by these forward‐looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward‐looking statements, including the risks described in the REIT’s latest annual information form and management’s discussion and analysis.  The payment of cash distributions, and the amount of such cash distributions, will be dependent upon a number of factors, including but not limited to the financial performance, financial condition and financial requirements of the REIT.  Although management of the REIT believes that the expectations reflected in forward‐looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurances that the expectations of any forward‐looking statements will prove to be correct. Except as required by law, the REIT disclaims any intention and assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward‐looking statements to reflect actual results, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, changes in factors affecting such forward‐looking statements or otherwise.

Notice with respect to Non-IFRS Measures Disclosure

The REIT’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS.  In addition to IFRS measures, this news release and the REIT’s Q1 2026 MD&A disclose certain non-IFRS financial measures that are commonly used by Canadian real estate investment trusts as an indicator of performance.  Non-IFRS measures and ratios include the following:

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

The Trust calculates net operating income as revenue less property operating expenses such as utilities, repairs and maintenance and realty taxes.  Charges for interest or other expenses not specific to the day‑to‑day operations of the Trust’s properties are not included.  The Trust regards NOI as an important measure of the income generated by income-producing properties and is used by management in evaluating the performance of the Trust’s properties.  NOI is also a key input in determining the value of the Trust’s properties. For reconciliation to IFRS measures, refer to “Financial Operations and Results” in the REIT’s Q1 2026 MD&A

Funds from Operations (“FFO”)

The Trust calculates FFO substantially in accordance with the guidelines set out in the white paper titled “White Paper on Funds from Operations & Adjusted Funds from Operations for IFRS” by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALpac”) as revised in January 2022.  FFO is defined as IFRS consolidated net income adjusted for items such as unrealized changes in the fair value of the investment properties, effects of puttable instruments classified as financial liabilities and changes in fair value of financial instruments and derivatives.  FFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by or used in operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.  The Trust regards FFO as a key measure of operating performance. For reconciliation to IFRS measures, refer to “Financial Operations and Results” in the REIT’s Q1 2026 MD&A

Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”)

The Trust calculates AFFO substantially in accordance with the guidelines set out in the white paper titled “White Paper on Funds from Operations & Adjusted Funds from Operations for IFRS” by REALpac as revised in January 2022.  AFFO is defined as FFO adjusted for items such as maintenance capital expenditures and straight‑line rental revenue differences.  AFFO should not be construed as an alternative to net income or cash flows provided by or used in operating activities determined in accordance with IFRS.  The Trust regards AFFO as a key measure of operating performance.  The Trust also uses AFFO in assessing its capacity to make distributions. For reconciliation to IFRS measures, refer to “Financial Operations and Results” in the REIT’s Q1 2026 MD&A

The following other non‑IFRS measures are defined as follows:

• “FFO per unit” is calculated as FFO divided by the weighted average number of Trust Units and Exchangeable Units of the Partnership outstanding over the period.
• “AFFO per unit” is calculated as AFFO divided by the weighted average number of Trust Units and Exchangeable Units of the Partnership outstanding over the period.
• “AFFO Payout Ratio” is the proportion of the total distributions on Trust Units and Exchangeable Units of the Partnership to AFFO per Unit.
• “Net Asset Value” is calculated as the sum of unitholders’ equity and Exchangeable Units
• “Net Asset Value per Unit” or “NAV per Unit” is calculated as the sum of unitholders’ equity and Exchangeable Units divided by the sum of Trust Units, Exchangeable Units and Deferred Units outstanding at the end of the period.
• “Debt‑to‑Gross Book Value ratio” is calculated by dividing total interest‑bearing debt consisting of mortgages by total assets and is used as the REIT’s primary measure of its leverage.
• “Debt Service Coverage ratio” is the ratio of NOI to total debt service consisting of interest expenses recorded as finance costs and principal payments on mortgages.
• “Stabilized net operating income” is the estimated 12-month net operating income that a property could generate at full occupancy, less a vacancy rate and stable operating expenses. 
• “Average occupancy rate” is defined as the ratio of occupied suites to the total suites in the portfolio for the period.
• “Same Property NOI” is defined as Net Operating Income from properties owned by the REIT throughout comparative periods, which removes the impact of situations that result in the comparative period to be less meaningful, such as acquisitions, or properties going through a lease-up period.

Management believes that these measures are helpful to investors because, while not necessarily calculated comparably among issuers, they are widely recognized measures of the REIT’s performance and tend to provide a relevant basis for comparison among real estate entities.  These non-IFRS financial measures are not defined under IFRS and are not intended to represent financial performance, financial position or cash flows for the period and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income, cash flow from operations or other measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with IFRS.

The above measures are not standardized under the financial reporting framework used to prepare the financial statements of the REIT.  Readers should be further cautioned that the above measures as calculated by the REIT may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.  For further information, refer to the sections entitled “Non-IFRS measures” and “Financial Operations and Results” in the REIT’s Q1 2026 MD&A, which is incorporated by reference herein, for further information (available on SEDAR+ at sedarplus.ca or the REIT’s website www.marwestreit.com).

Nationwide commercial solar leader marks milestone with Dunhill Partners, delivering discounted energy to dozens of on-site businesses

CHINO HILLS, Calif., May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — King Energy, the nationwide leader in multi-tenant commercial solar, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony at The Shoppes at Chino Hills, marking a milestone for the property, its tenants, and the broader Chino Hills community. The event, hosted in partnership with Dunhill Partners, was attended by property management, King Energy leadership, and City Council Member Peter Rogers.

The Shoppes at Chino Hills represents a significant milestone project for King Energy, combining technical sophistication with meaningful impact for tenants, ownership, and the broader community. 

Behind the project is a highly coordinated multi-array solar system designed to maximize onsite clean energy generation across the property.

“This is a five-point interconnection system with five different solar arrays tied into the local power grid, so there is a lot of complexity here,” said Rob Porter, Chief Commercial Officer at King Energy. “The cumulative impact is close to two million kilowatt hours of emissions-free clean energy being generated and consumed on site by local businesses. Tenants here are saving money and using clean energy. The property owner has a new rent-paying tenant in King Energy. And the community benefits from distributed solar generated right here at the city center. That is the King Energy model working as designed.”

The Shoppes at Chino Hills has become a central gathering place and city center of Chino Hills, drawing residents daily for coffee, lunch, errands, and local retail. For Dunhill Partners, the investment reflects a long-term commitment to the property and the businesses that depend on it.

“The ownership team at Dunhill Partners has always been committed to making smart, long-term investments in the property,” said Darryll Goodman, General Manager of The Shoppes at Chino Hills. “From local small businesses to national retailers, tenants across the property now have access to discounted clean energy generated right here on site. That supports the businesses, invests in the long-term future of the property, and reflects the kind of thoughtful growth this community values.”

City Council Member Peter Rogers attended the ceremony and spoke to the significance of the project for Chino Hills and its potential to serve as a model for commercial properties across the region.

“This project is more than just panels on a roof,” said Council Member Rogers. “It represents a serious commitment to sustainability and forward-thinking investment in our community. The Shoppes at Chino Hills is essentially our city center, and when our retail partners take the lead on initiatives like this, they make our community stronger and more attractive to residents and visitors alike. I hope this serves as a fantastic example for other commercial properties to follow.”

The Chino Hills installation is part of King Energy’s broader mission to deliver financial and environmental value to commercial properties and the communities surrounding them. By generating clean energy directly where it is consumed, projects like this help support local businesses, reduce strain on the grid, and create long-term value for property owners and tenants alike.

King Energy manages all aspects of the system, from installation and permitting through long-term operations and tenant billing. Its enterprise-grade software platform, OneBill, consolidates utility and solar charges into a single transaction, simplifying participation for tenants and eliminating operational burden for property owners.

King Energy thanks Dunhill Partners, the City of Chino Hills, Southern California Edison, and the entire project team for their collaboration and partnership in bringing this system to life.

About King Energy

King Energy is the nationwide leader in multi-tenant commercial solar, helping commercial property owners unlock new value from underutilized rooftops through onsite solar and battery systems.

WHITTIER, Calif., May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As genetics and genomics become more central in healthcare, demand is growing for professionals who can interpret increasingly complex genetic information, help translate scientific advances into clinical practice, and guide patients through critical and potentially life-changing healthcare decisions.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of genetic counselors is projected to grow 9% from 2024 to 2034, much faster than the average for all occupations. BLS also projects employment of medical scientists, a broader category that includes many research-focused roles in biomedical science, to grow 9% during the same period. Together, these projections point to growing demand for professionals who can support both the patient-facing and research-driven sides of genomic medicine.

Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) is preparing students to help meet that demand through its Master of Science in Human Genetics and Genomics and Master of Science in Genetic Counseling programs, which train graduates to work across clinical, research, and biotechnology settings where genomic medicine is rapidly expanding.

The need is being driven by the expanding use of genetic testing, precision medicine, rare disease diagnostics, inherited cancer risk assessment, and genomic tools in research and clinical care.

Emerging technologies such as advanced DNA analysis, gene editing, and the use of AI in genetic medicine are rapidly transforming how diseases are detected, understood, and treated. These advances are helping healthcare providers identify certain health risks earlier, better personalize treatments, and give patients more information than ever before about their risks and potential care options.

“Medicine is becoming increasingly individually‑focused as genomic technologies move from research into routine care,” said Dr. Dan Handley, Program Director of SCU’s Master of Science in Human Genetics and Genomics. “We now not only have tools that allow us to quickly sequence genetic information at ever‑lower cost, but also analyze and interpret the clinical implications of that information. As genomic technologies become more integrated into healthcare, there is a growing need for professionals who can innovate new technologies, deepen our understanding of the genomic basis of health and disease, and apply this knowledge to improve patient care.”

As the science advances, healthcare providers and patients are also navigating increasingly complex conversations around genetic testing, inherited risk, and personalized care.

“As access to genetic information grows, so does the importance of helping patients understand what that information means for their lives and healthcare decisions,” said Stephanie Gandomi, Program Director of SCU’s Master of Science in Genetic Counseling program. “Genetic counselors help patients navigate deeply personal and often emotionally complex decisions while ensuring they have clear, accurate, and compassionate guidance.”

SCU’s Master of Science in Human Genetics and Genomics program prepares graduates for roles across research, biotechnology, laboratory, and clinical environments where genomic technologies are driving innovation and discovery. Its Master of Science in Genetic Counseling program prepares students to work directly with patients and families in healthcare settings where genetic testing and inherited risk assessment are becoming increasingly common. Together, the programs reflect a broader transformation taking place across healthcare as medicine moves toward more predictive, personalized, and data-informed models of care.

“The science is advancing rapidly, but healthcare remains fundamentally human,” said Gandomi. “As genetics becomes more integrated into medicine, there will be increasing demand for professionals who can combine technical expertise with empathy, communication, and patient advocacy.”

CHANGSHA, China, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Zoomlion Heavy Industry Science & Technology Co., Ltd. (“Zoomlion”) hosted its 2026 Global Mining Machinery Expo in Changsha on May 16, drawing more than 500 customers and industry partners from nearly 30 countries and regions to view its latest mining equipment and solutions.

The event, held at the Earthmoving Machinery Park of Zoomlion Smart City, highlighted Zoomlion’s advances across three areas: heavy-load machinery for open-pit mines, electric and hybrid equipment for green mining operations, and autonomous haulage and mine management systems.

Three flagship models headlined the equipment display, including the ZWL360 hybrid wheeled loader, the ZTE450HEV hybrid electric-drive mining truck and the ZE1650G dual-engine mining excavator.

The ZWL360 is the world’s largest hybrid wheeled loader, with a rated load of 36 tons and 1,495 kilowatts of combined power. It delivers more than 15% energy savings compared with comparable machines. The ZTE450HEV carries a 240-ton payload and is powered by a diesel-electric drivetrain with energy recovery systems. The ZE1650G excavator runs two QSM15 engines in tandem and is designed to operate in harsh conditions.

Zoomlion displayed more than 40 new-energy mining products and components, including the ZT160HEV hybrid and ZT165EV pure electric mining trucks. Its electric and hybrid machines are now operating across dozens of mines globally, with individual units logging more than 8,000 hours of service.

The company highlighted several proprietary green technologies at the event. The ZM-i Adaptive Super Energy Management System, for example, powers its hybrid machines through a “true hybrid” architecture that runs a diesel engine and electric motor simultaneously under heavy load, rather than alternating between the two. Company testing recorded a 20% reduction in fuel consumption and an 11.2% improvement in operating efficiency.

Autonomous haulage was another major focus. Zoomlion has put nearly 100 driverless mining trucks into operation across multiple sites in China, where they are capable of autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance and coordinated work with excavators. At the expo, the company demonstrated that capability live, running the ZE985G remote-controlled excavator, ZT118EV pure electric mining truck and ZT160HEV hybrid mining truck through a coordinated dig-load-haul demonstration combining remote operation and autonomous haulage.

Zoomlion also unveiled two software platforms at the event: Mine Smart Supervision Platform 2.0 and Mine Operation & Diagnosis Platform 2.0. The systems stream equipment data from the field to the cloud, enabling real-time monitoring, fault prediction and maintenance tracking.

The company also introduced an intelligent mine assessment system that analyzes site conditions, models energy consumption and recommends equipment configurations on a mine-by-mine basis. It has already been deployed across more than 150 mines and completed more than 200 customized project plans.

Yuan Ye, vice president of Zoomlion, said the company would keep investing in its technical foundations to drive innovation and deepen its partnerships with customers worldwide.

CALGARY, AB, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ – Decibel Cannabis Company Inc. (the “Company” or “Decibel“) (TSXV: DB) (OTCQB: DBCCF), a market leader in Canadian branded cannabis manufactured products and global medical exports, today announced its financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2026.

“Q1 was a strong start to the year with revenue up 41%, international sales tripling and Adjusted EBITDA doubling year over year. This performance is especially meaningful as we emerge from last quarter’s headwinds with a strengthened balance sheet and real momentum heading into the strongest season for our domestic portfolio. The setup for the rest of 2026 is compelling.”

Benjamin Sze – Chief Executive Officer

Q1 2026 Highlights

• Net Revenue of $30 million, growth of 41% year over year
• International Sales of $9.6 million, growth of 330% year over year
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $6.9 million, growth of 100% year over year

Q2 2026 Outlook⁽²⁾

Financial Outlook

• Net Revenue of $33 to $35 million, implying year over year growth of 14% to midpoint of range

Decibel also reconfirms its previously issued 2026 full year guidance: Net Revenue of $130 to $135 million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $27 to $31 million.

International Update

Decibel’s international sales grew 330% year over year to $9.6 million, despite growth being impacted by delays in German permit timelines. German permit processing time has improved materially in Q2 2026, and management expects Decibel will experience growth through the balance of the year as the Company converts its existing backlog to revenue. AgMedica’s EU GMP certified platform continues to perform well above the original underwriting case, validating the international strategy underpinning the acquisition. We continue to believe international sales are positioned for significantly high double-digit growth through 2026, supported by the following Q1 2026 milestones:

• Shipped GMP-extracted product into Germany in Q1 2026, marking the first deliveries into the largest medical cannabis market in the EU
• 16+ international customers with executed supply agreements
• 45+ GACP cultivators onboarded with executed supply agreements
• 60 tons per Annum of flower processing capacity at ~30% utilization based on Q1 2026 results
• Expanding production of EU GMP extracts to meet growing demand, allowing for ease of access into vapes and oils, with ongoing shipments into multiple countries

Domestic Update

Decibel’s domestic sales returned to growth at 7% year over year, driven by strong early performance of the new Standard Issue brand and the refresh of General Admission’s product portfolio. Management continues to see opportunities to expand the Company’s offering and store penetration, particularly given Standard Issue’s early momentum. We continue to believe domestic sales are positioned for high single-digit growth through 2026, supported by the following Q1 2026 milestones:

• Overall market share in Q1 2026 grew from 4.1% to 4.4% based on HiFyre data
• Standard Issue launch has continued to grow since launch, now 8th overall in the vape category (2.5% share) and 10th overall in Infused Pre-Roll (2.2%) share based on HiFyre data
• Refreshing General Admission’s vape portfolio has helped maintain a leadership position in the fast-growing liquid diamond segment, as the #1 Liquid Diamond 510 brand and #2 Liquid Diamond All-in-One brand. This along with the launch of Standard Issue has helped Decibel increase its vape market share by 1.50% year to date.
• General Admission remains the #1 Infused Pre-Roll brand and has now converted its entire IPR portfolio to diamond-based formulations heading into peak seasonality for pre-rolls this summer.

First Quarter Highlights

• Net Revenue was $29.8 million, a year over year increase of 41%. Net revenue growth was driven by continued growth in international demand and success with recent domestic sales launches.
• Domestic Sales were $20.3 million, a year over year increase of 7%. The Company saw strong traction on new products and its new Standard Issue brand with market share gains during the quarter.
• International Sales were $9.6 million, a year over year increase of 330%. The increase in international sales was driven by strong volume growth and high demand for the Company’s products, partially offset by the impacts of delayed permitting timelines in Germany.
• Gross Margin Before Fair Value Adjustments was 51% in the first quarter of 2026, compared to 50% in the first quarter of 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA⁽¹⁾ of $6.9 million, a year over year increase of 100%. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was primarily driven by international sales.
• Free Cash Flow⁽¹⁾ of ($14.6) million, reflecting a $13.2 million one-time reduction in payables settled in connection with the Company’s February 2026 debt refinancing. This represents a shift in the form of obligation rather than an operating use of cash, with the related amount refinanced under the new credit facility. Excluding this item, Free Cash Flow for the quarter would have been meaningfully positive and consistent with the Company’s underlying operating performance.
• Adjusted Net Income⁽¹⁾ of $3.1 million, a year over year increase of $3.2 million. 
• ATB Credit Facility. Decibel closed a new $61 million credit facility with ATB Financial and ATB Cormark Capital Markets that extends Decibel’s debt maturities out to 2030, reduces 2026 payment obligations by $5 million and provides up to $10 million in undrawn available capital. The Company’s pro forma Trailing Twelve Month Total Debt to EBITDA is expected to remain below 2.0x. The Company has a $10 million revolver which is currently undrawn and available and the Company intends to keep the facility undrawn.
• Creston Facility Sale. Decibel announced a conditional agreement for the sale of its cultivation property located in Creston, British Columbia. The agreed sales price is $2.5 million. The sale reflects further optimization of Decibel’s operating footprint, having no impact to the Company’s revenue outlook while anticipated to save $4 million annually. The sale remains subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.  Decibel expects to complete the sale before June 30, 2026.

Cautionary Statements

Non-GAAP Measures

This news release contains certain financial performance measures, namely Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Free Cash Flow, that are not recognized or defined under IFRS (termed “Non-GAAP Measures“). As a result, this data may not be comparable to data presented by other licensed producers and cannabis companies. For an explanation of these measures to related comparable financial information presented in the Financial Statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, refer to the discussion below. The Company believes that these Non-GAAP Measures are useful indicators of operating performance and are specifically used by management to assess the financial and operational performance of the Company. Accordingly, these Non-GAAP Measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) excluding unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets, change in fair value of biological assets realized through inventory sold, depreciation and amortization expense, share-based compensation, other income, finance costs, foreign exchange loss, non-cash production costs and severance payments. Non-cash production costs relate to amortization expense allocations included in production costs. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered together with other financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS to enable investors to evaluate Decibel’s operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a manner similar to Decibel’s management.

Adjusted Net Income is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) excluding unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets and change in fair value of biological assets realized through inventory sold. 

These measures are intended to provide a proxy for the Company’s net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) and are used to compare Decibel to its competitors and derive expectations of future financial performance of the Company and should be considered together with other financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS to enable investors to evaluate Decibel’s operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a manner similar to Decibel’s management.

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as cash flow from operations less cash provided by (used in) investing activities. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered together with other financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS to enable investors to evaluate Decibel’s operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a manner similar to Decibel’s management. 

Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated as cash flow from operations plus cash provided by (used in) investing activities, changes in non-cash working capital, less repayment of long-term debt. This non-GAAP financial measure should be considered together with other financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS to enable investors to evaluate Decibel’s operating results, underlying performance and prospects in a manner similar to Decibel’s management.

Non-GAAP Ratios

Adjusted EPS, or adjusted earnings per share, is a non-GAAP ratio, does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted EPS is calculated as net income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) excluding unrealized gain on changes in fair value of biological assets and change in fair value of biological assets realized through inventory sold, divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding.  The Company believes that adjusted earnings per share is a useful metric to normalize net income for biological asset accounting impacts.

Supplementary Financial Measures

International Sales is a supplementary financial measure intended to provide a more accurate depiction of international sales earned by the Company’s wholesale operations.

Gross Canadian Recreational Sales is a supplementary financial measure intended to provide a more accurate depiction of gross revenue earned by the Company’s wholesale operations.

Net Canadian Recreational Sales is a supplementary financial measure intended to provide a more accurate depiction of net revenue earned by the Company’s wholesale operations.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — dashmoto® (www.dashmoto.co) today announced the official market launch of the dash 3 Williams edition, a performance electric scooter with a design inspired by Atlassian Williams F1 Team. The new model represents the next phase of dashmoto®’s collaboration with one of Formula 1’s most legendary teams, bringing engineering inspired by motorsport to the world of personal electric mobility.

The dash 3 Williams edition was first unveiled at the CES 2026 in Las Vegas this January, where the prototype introduced the collaboration to the global technology and mobility community.

Building on the success of the dash 3, dashmoto®’s flagship seated electric scooter, the brand has already introduced a new category of personal mobility defined by portability, comfort, and real-world usability. The dash 3 has proven the demand for a more flexible, design-forward way to move, laying the foundation for the next evolution in performance with the dash 3 Williams edition.

Now arriving in the hands of riders across the country, the dash 3 Williams edition transforms that vision into a production-ready performance ride designed for riders who expect more from their daily mobility.

The dash 3 Williams edition will appear at various Formula 1 Grands Prix through the 2026 schedule, where dashmoto® will showcase the scooter throughout the race weekends. Fans attending the event will have the opportunity to see the dash 3 Williams edition up close and experience it through on-site test rides.

Engineered to deliver a faster, lighter, and more performance-focused riding experience, the dash 3 Williams edition builds upon dashmoto®’s carbon fiber innovation while introducing enhanced performance dynamics. The result is a scooter that delivers a responsive and engaging ride designed for modern city travel.

At the heart of the dash 3 Williams edition is a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, a structural concept widely used in high-performance automotive engineering. This race-inspired frame delivers a more controlled riding experience, with sharper handling, reduced weight, and improved stability.

The dash 3 Williams edition also features a taller riding profile, creating a more confident rider position while improving comfort and visibility. This refined geometry enhances rider control while maintaining the sleek proportions and portability that define dashmoto®’s design philosophy.

Performance is matched with practical capability. The dash 3 Williams edition delivers up to 25 miles of range on a single charge, allowing riders to travel further while maintaining the efficiency and freedom that electric mobility provides.

The three wheel design at the core of the dash 3 Williams edition is built to create a more stable, confident, and fluid riding experience. With three points of contact, it offers a grounded sense of balance that makes movement feel smooth and intuitive from the start. As founder Kim Ng envisioned, it’s not just about how you move, but how it feels to move, enabling riders to focus less on stability and more on the freedom of the ride.

Visually, the dash 3 Williams edition reflects the unmistakable identity of the team. The design incorporates a signature blue palette inspired by Williams’ iconic racing livery, paired with bold detailing that celebrates the heritage of one of motorsport’s most respected teams. The result is a scooter that communicates performance, innovation, and unmistakable presence.

Behind the dash 3 Williams edition is a story that reaches far beyond product design. For dashmoto® founder Kim Ng, the pursuit of performance is deeply personal. A former competitive driver, Ng’s early career was shaped by a relentless connection to speed, precision, and the feeling of being fully in control of motion. That connection became the foundation for a new vision, bringing that same responsiveness and control into everyday mobility.

The dash 3 Williams edition represents a return to that mindset, applying world-class racing knowledge to a category that has historically lacked technical ambition. Rather than simply creating another mobility device, Ng set out to restore a feeling, the confidence, responsiveness, and intuitive control that define high-performance driving. This perspective is what makes the collaboration with Williams uniquely aligned, bringing together two organizations who see performance not as an add-on, but as a starting point.

“The dash 3 Williams edition represents what happens when two worlds of engineering come together,” said Kim Ng, founder of dashmoto®. “Racing represents the highest level of performance innovation. Bringing that mindset into personal mobility allowed us to create a ride that feels sharper, faster, and more connected to the road.”

With the dash 3 Williams edition entering the marketplace, dashmoto® continues its mission to redefine how people move through modern cities by combining advanced materials, precision engineering, and design-led mobility.

More information about the dash 3 Williams edition can be found at www.dashmoto.co.

NEW YORK, May 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — AV Management, a private New York based investment firm, announced today that it has completed the acquisition of 73-75 Sullivan Street from a long-time SoHo developer for $43,333,000.

73-75 Sullivan Street was completed in 2016 as a ground-up construction project and is located within Manhattan’s vibrant SoHo submarket. Featuring expansive layouts, modern construction vintage, and long-term commercial tenancy, the property offers institutional quality yet boutique real estate.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Dylan Walsh and Nico Nicolaou represented the seller in the $43.4M deal. Citizens Private Bank provided $21.6M in competitive acquisition financing under significant time constraints.

Purchased at historically high-yields for Class A+ Manhattan property, the acquisition represents a world-class opportunity to generate permanent income with embedded flexibility in business plan execution.

"This special situation transaction represents the robust opportunity set to purchase investment grade assets at historically high yields by taking advantage of early cycle market dynamics," said Principal Ahcene Ouldsaada. "73-75 Sullivan Street capitalizes on the dislocation caused by the 2022’s historically unprecedented hike in domestic base rates. The asset was acquired at an opportunistic basis and will be held long-term as a permanent income vehicle with an option for attractive liquidity as markets normalize."

"The durability of A+ location property in Northeast submarkets will continue to outperform tertiary and Sunbelt markets. We will see an acceleration of the already occurring shift from speculative, assumption driven value-add transactions to opportunistic, special situation investments of Class A+ assets in Northeast markets. Strong fundamentals bought correctly during early cycle dynamics provides investors with significant alpha."
