  • MIL-OSI USA: Carbajal Introduces Bill to Prevent Dangerous Individuals from Accessing Firearms

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Salud Carbajal (CA-24)

    U.S. Representative Salud Carbajal (D-CA-24) introduced the Extreme Risk Protection Order Expansion Act, legislation to prevent people who are in crisis from accessing deadly weapons. The bill would establish grants to support the implementation of extreme risk protection (ERPO) laws, also known as “red flag” laws, at the state and local levels. In addition, the bill would extend federal firearms restrictions to people subject to ERPOs, giving law enforcement the tools to remove access to firearms from people who are considered a danger to themselves or others.

    “Too often, shootings are preceded by unmistakable warning signs, but communities have lacked the tools to step in before it’s too late,” said Rep. Carbajal. “This legislation recognizes the value of extreme risk protection orders, and gives law enforcement a clear path to intervene before tragedy strikes.”

    U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) leads companion legislation in the U.S. Senate. 

    The legislation is supported by a number of organizations including Brady, GIFFORDS, Sandy Hook Promise Action Fund, and Everytown for Gun Safety.

    Earlier this month, Carbajal introduced a pair of bipartisan bills, the Filling Public Safety Vacancies Act and Increasing Behavioral Health Treatment Act, to improve public safety nationwide. The package aims to address the staffing shortages at local law enforcement departments and removes the limitations on the provision of Medicaid funding for patients in an institution for mental disease (IMD) in order to improve behavioral health.

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Police College opened in Auckland

    Source: New Zealand Police

    Police is celebrating the opening of the Royal New Zealand Police College (RNZPC) Auckland Campus.

    The RNZPC Auckland Campus was formally opened this morning by Police Commissioner Richard Chambers, Minister of Police Mark Mitchell and Associate Minister of Police Casey Costello.

    Police Commissioner Richard Chambers says the new facilities leased from Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa Massey University allow Police to hold senior training courses and have the added bonus of a recruit wing.

    “I have made it clear my expectation is for high standards. That starts the moment a recruit walks into Police College and continues throughout their policing career.

    “To ensure those expectations are met and our front line is supported, ongoing training is essential, and the Auckland Campus will be important for holding our senior courses.

    “In recent years we have had to provide more senior courses online and in districts to improve efficiency and to free up space for recruit training at RNZPC in Wellington.

    “However, that is not possible for some courses and bringing people together in person is an important opportunity for staff to learn from each other as well.”

    Since signing the lease, a huge amount of planning and organisation has gone into making the space fit-for-purpose in time for courses to begin on 30 June. The first senior course at the Auckland Campus, a Leadership and Development group conference, has begun. 

    The facility includes multiple classrooms, a locker room, storage space, offices, car parks and dorm rooms. Police also has access to other facilities including the gym and recreation centre.

    RNZPC Auckland is also being used for recruit wing 390 which has 40 recruits.

    The Patron for Wing 390 is former Prime Minister, the Rt Hon Sir John Key.

    Commissioner Chambers says: “Being away from home for 20 weeks to attend recruit training in Wellington has been a deterrent for some people wanting to join Police.

    “Offering training in Auckland is one of the things we can do to attract as many quality applications as possible.

    “Aside from appealing to people who live in Auckland, Wing 390 has a large number of recruits from Northland who will be based in the dorms.

    “Northland has been one of our priority districts for recruitment and offering training closer to home has been a real drawcard.”

    The Auckland recruits will need to spend about five weeks in Porirua for elements of training we cannot do in Auckland, but being able to do the bulk of the course in Auckland gives them their chance at a career they wanted.

    “We will consider the possibility of future recruit wings later in the year depending on demand and the schedule for senior courses,” Commissioner Chambers says.

    “Having a Police College campus in our largest city is a significant opportunity for us to continue developing world-class police officers and growing our frontline police presence.

    “New Zealand Police offers exciting career progression and more than 30 different career paths.

    “Whether you’re taking your first steps into the workforce or considering a career change, the best time to apply is right now.”

    If you are ready to start your training for one of the most rewarding careers there is, visit newcops.govt.nz to apply today.

  • MIL-OSI USA: ICE Buffalo removes illegal alien, child sex predator to Guatemala

    Source: US Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    BUFFALO, N.Y. — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement removed illegally present Guatemalan national Alvaro De Jesus Martinez-Juarez from the United States to Guatemala June 28. Martinez is a felon and predator convicted of acting in a course of sexual conduct against a child.

    “ICE will not tolerate criminal aliens preying on innocent children in our communities,” said ICE Buffalo Enforcement and Removal Operations Deputy Field Office Director Joseph Freden. “We will prioritize the pursuit of these vile predators and seek their prompt removal from the United States.”

    Martinez, 55, admitted to illegally entering the United States in 1990 by crossing the border from Mexico into California without being admitted or paroled by a U.S. immigration official. On March 17, 2015, the Nassau County Police Department arrested him for two counts of first-degree course of sexual conduct against child where the victim is less than 13 years old and the perpetrator is over 18. The Nassau County Court convicted Martinez of one count of the aforementioned charge Sept. 18, 2017, and sentenced him to 12 years in prison.

    An immigration judge ordered him removed from the U.S. April 9, 2019.

    ICE Buffalo arrested Martinez June 20 upon his release from the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision’s custody in Wallkill and detained him at the Buffalo Federal Detention facility to await his removal to Guatemala.

  • MIL-OSI: Ellomay Capital Reports Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TEL-AVIV, Israel, June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ellomay Capital Ltd. (NYSE American; TASE: ELLO) (“Ellomay” or the “Company”), a renewable energy and power generator and developer of renewable energy and power projects in Europe, USA and Israel, today reported its unaudited interim consolidated financial results for the three month period ended March 31, 2025.

    Financial Highlights

    • Total assets as of March 31, 2025 amounted to approximately €721.2 million, compared to total assets as of December 31, 2024 of approximately €677.3 million.
    • Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 were approximately €8.9 million, compared to revenues of approximately €8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately €6.8 million, compared to loss of approximately €4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately €2.9 million, compared to EBITDA of approximately €1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. See below under “Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures” for additional disclosure concerning EBITDA.

    Financial Overview for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

    • Revenues were approximately €8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in revenues mainly results from revenues generated from our 19.8 MW and 18.1 MW Italian solar facilities that were connected to the grid in February-May 2024 and in January 2025, respectively.
    • Operating expenses were approximately €4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Depreciation and amortization expenses were approximately €4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Project development costs were approximately €1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in project development costs is mainly due to projects that reached “ready to build” status, which results in the commencement of the capitalization of expenses related to such projects into fixed assets.
    • General and administrative expenses were approximately €1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • The Company’s share of profits of equity accounted investee, after elimination of intercompany transactions, was approximately €1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Other income was approximately €0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to €0 for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The income during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was recognized based on insurance compensation in connection with the fire near the Talasol and Ellomay Solar facilities in Spain in July 2024 due to loss of income in 2025.
    • Financing income, net, were approximately €7.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to financing expenses of approximately €3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in financing expenses, net, was mainly attributable to higher income resulting from exchange rate differences that amounted to approximately €10.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to loss from exchange rate differences of approximately €0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an aggregate change of approximately €11.3 million. The exchange rate differences were mainly recorded in connection with the New Israeli Shekel (“NIS”) cash and cash equivalents and the Company’s NIS denominated debentures and were caused by the 5.9% devaluation of the NIS against the euro during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a revaluation of 0.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in financing income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was partially offset by an increase in financing expenses of approximately €0.9 million in connection with derivatives and warrants for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Tax benefit was approximately €0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to tax benefit of approximately €0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Loss from discontinued operation (net of tax) was €0 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to a loss from discontinued operation (net of tax) of approximately €0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was approximately €6.8 million, compared to loss of approximately €4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Total other comprehensive loss was approximately €4.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to total other comprehensive income of approximately €12 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024. The change in total other comprehensive income (loss) is primarily as the result of foreign currency translation adjustments due to the change in the NIS/euro exchange rate and by changes in fair value of cash flow hedges, including a material decrease in the fair value of the liability resulting from the financial power swap that covers approximately 80% of the output of the Talasol solar plant (the “Talasol PPA”). The Talasol PPA experienced a high volatility due to the substantial change in electricity prices in Europe. In accordance with hedge accounting standards, the changes in the Talasol PPA’s fair value are recorded in the Company’s shareholders’ equity through a hedging reserve and not through the accumulated deficit/retained earnings. The changes do not impact the Company’s consolidated net profit/loss or the Company’s consolidated cash flows.
    • Total comprehensive income was approximately €1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to total comprehensive income of approximately €7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • EBITDA was approximately €2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • Net cash from operating activities was approximately €0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to approximately €1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
    • On February 16, 2025, the Company issued in an Israeli public offering an aggregate principal amount of NIS 214,479,000 of newly issued Series G Debentures, due December 31, 2032. The net proceeds of the offering, net of related expenses such as consultancy fee and commissions, were approximately NIS 211.7 million (approximately €56.7 million as of the issuance date).

    CEO Review for the First Quarter of 2025

    In the first quarter, the Company’s revenues amounted to €8.9 million, an increase of approximately 9% in revenues compared to the corresponding quarter last year. These revenues do not include the Company’s share of Dorad’s revenues. The Company presented an increase of approximately 81% in EBITDA compared to the corresponding quarter last year (€2.9 million compared to €1.6 million in the corresponding quarter last year). The Company’s first quarter is a winter quarter and is characterized by low production and revenues compared to the other quarters of the year.

    In the first half of 2025, the Company recorded significant progress in the start of construction and connection to the grid of new projects, which are expected to contribute to revenue growth in the near future.

    In Italy – Financing agreements were signed for solar projects with a total capacity of 198 MW (of which 38 MW are already connected to the electricity grid), and a transaction was signed and consummated with Clal Insurance to enter as a partner (49%) in the aforementioned 198 MW. Construction work on 160 MW has begun and construction is progressing as planned. The remainder of the portfolio held by the Company (100%) is approximately 264 MW solar, of which 124 MW have received construction permits and the rest are expected to receive permits in the near future. These 264 MW are scheduled to begin construction in the last quarter of 2026.

    In the US – The Company is advancing additional solar projects with a capacity of approximately 50 MW (beyond the existing portfolio (49 MW) which has completed construction), which are expected to begin construction during 2025. The intention is that these projects will be able to enjoy the full tax benefit currently in effect. The addition of battery storage to each of the projects is also under planning.

    In the Netherlands – the Company received, after March 31, 2025, a license to increase production at the GGG facility by 64%. Licenses to increase production at the two additional facilities are in advanced stages. The new regulation for the obligation to blend green gas with fossil gas will commence according to the law in January 2027 (a delay of one year), but the targets for the first year have increased. Agreements have been signed for the sale of green certificates issued under the new regulation at a price of approximately €1 per certificate. The blending obligation is expected to significantly increase the profitability of operations in the Netherlands at current production capacity. The expected increase in production capacity from 16 million cubic meters of gas per year to around 24 million cubic meters of gas per year is expected to add significantly beyond that.

    In Israel – the Company is in negotiations with the Israeli Electricity Authority for compensation for delays and war damage to the Manara project. Ellomay Luzon (50% owned) provided a notice of exercise of its right of first refusal on the Zorlu-Phoenix transaction for the sale of Dorad’s shares. Ellomay Luzon and another shareholder exercised their right of first refusal with respect to all of the shares offered (15% of Dorad’s shares), and, subject to the timely fulfillment of the conditions to closing, Ellomay Luzon and the other shareholder are expected to share these shares in equal parts.

    In Spain – The Company’s development activity in Spain focuses on battery storage, due to the high volatility in electricity prices in Spain, which stems from an excess of renewable energy during the transition seasons and causes damage to the stability of the grid. In the Company’s assessment, the solution is a significant increase in storage capacity, which is currently at very low levels in Spain. Regulation in Spain is also starting to move in this direction.

    Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

    EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure and is defined as earnings before financial expenses, net, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The Company presents this measure in order to enhance the understanding of the Company’s operating performance and to enable comparability between periods. While the Company considers EBITDA to be an important measure of comparative operating performance, EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other statement of operations or cash flow data prepared in accordance with IFRS as a measure of profitability or liquidity. EBITDA does not take into account the Company’s commitments, including capital expenditures and restricted cash and, accordingly, is not necessarily indicative of amounts that may be available for discretionary uses. Not all companies calculate EBITDA in the same manner, and the measure as presented may not be comparable to similarly-titled measure presented by other companies. The Company’s EBITDA may not be indicative of the Company’s historic operating results; nor is it meant to be predictive of potential future results. The Company uses this measure internally as performance measure and believes that when this measure is combined with IFRS measure it add useful information concerning the Company’s operating performance. A reconciliation between results on an IFRS and non-IFRS basis is provided on page 17 of this press release.

    Financial Covenants

    Pursuant to the Deeds of Trust governing the Company’s Series C, Series D, Series E, Series F and Series G Debentures (together, the “Debentures”), the Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants. For more information, see Items 4.A and 5.B of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2025, and below.

    Net Financial Debt

    As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s Net Financial Debt, (as such term is defined in the Deeds of Trust of the Company’s Debentures), was approximately €170 million (consisting of approximately €3031 million of short-term and long-term debt from banks and other interest bearing financial obligations, approximately €241.42 million in connection with (i) the Series C Debentures issuances (in July 2019, October 2020, February 2021 and October 2021), (ii) the Series D Convertible Debentures issuance (in February 2021), (iii) the Series E Secured Debentures issuance (in February 2023), (iv) the Series F Debentures issuance (in January, April, August and November 2024) and (v) the Series G Debentures issuance (in February 2025)), net of approximately €71.4 million of cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits and marketable securities and net of approximately €3033 million of project finance and related hedging transactions of the Company’s subsidiaries).

    Discussion concerning Warning Signs

    Upon the issuance of the Company’s Debentures, the Company undertook to comply with the “hybrid model disclosure requirements” as determined by the Israeli Securities Authority and as described in the Israeli prospectuses published in connection with the public offering of the company’s Debentures. This model provides that in the event certain financial “warning signs” exist in the Company’s consolidated financial results or statements, and for as long as they exist, the Company will be subject to certain disclosure obligations towards the holders of the Company’s Debentures.

    One possible “warning sign” is the existence of a working capital deficiency if the Company’s Board of Directors does not determine that the working capital deficiency is not an indication of a liquidity problem. In examining the existence of warning signs as of March 31, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors noted the working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2025, in the amount of approximately €0.96 million. The Company’s Board of Directors reviewed the Company’s financial position, outstanding debt obligations and the Company’s existing and anticipated cash resources and uses and determined that the existence of a working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2025, does not indicate a liquidity problem. In making such determination, the Company’s Board of Directors noted the following: (i) the execution of the agreement to sell tax credits in connection with the US solar projects, which is expected to contribute approximately $19 million during the next twelve months, (ii) the Company’s positive cash flow from operating activities during 2023 and 2024, and (iii) funds received from the investment transaction with Clal Insurance Company Ltd. that was consummated in June 2025.

    What Is a Mensa IQ Test?

    An IQ or intelligence quotient test is a standardized assessment designed to measure various aspects of human intelligence. The Mensa IQ test specifically evaluates individuals who score within the top 2% of the population, identifying those with advanced cognitive abilities. These tests are gateways to membership in Mensa International, the world’s largest and oldest high-IQ society.

    An IQ test, Mensa style, aims to measure intelligence objectively. It’s not about academic knowledge or memorization, but raw intellectual processing, how efficiently and accurately a person can solve unfamiliar problems.

    ⇒ Measure Your Intelligence with a Proven Mensa IQ Test!

    History and Evolution of IQ Testing

    IQ testing has evolved significantly since its origins in the early 20th century. French psychologist Alfred Binet developed the first modern intelligence test to assess children’s learning potential. Over time, these early models expanded into more sophisticated forms, such as the Stanford-Binet and Wechsler scales. Today, digital platforms like QuickIQTest.org carry forward this tradition, offering advanced, user-friendly tools that make high-quality testing widely available.

    As organizations like Mensa gained global recognition, specialized exams like the Mensa intelligence test emerged. These are designed to evaluate fluid intelligence—the innate ability to think logically, solve problems, and detect patterns rather than rely on learned knowledge.

    Red Flags to Avoid in Online Testing Sites

    Not all online IQ tests are created equal. Here are some warning signs to avoid:

    • Vague or overly simplistic questions: Real Mensa sample test formats include complex reasoning challenges.
    • No scoring explanation: A legitimate platform should explain how your score is calculated.
    • Clickbait-style results: Avoid tests that give generic or overly flattering results without clear metrics.
    • Aggressive upselling or paywall traps: Some sites lure users with a “free” label only to demand payment after they complete the transaction.
    • No credibility or transparency: The platform should clarify its methodology and data use policy.

    QuickIQTest.org avoids all of these pitfalls. The Mensa test is structured, transparent, and built to replicate the experience of a Mensa-style intelligence test. It’s one of the most trusted options for users seeking clarity and confidence before pursuing formal membership with the Mensa International IQ test.

    Managing Test Anxiety

    Nervousness is normal, but if unmanaged, it can disrupt your ability to think clearly and finish within the time limit. Since the Mensa online IQ test is typically timed, staying calm is essential for optimal performance.

    Here are effective ways to control anxiety before and during the test:

    • Create a calm environment: Choose a quiet, comfortable place to take the test.
    • Establish a pre-test routine: Drink water, stretch, and do a quick mental warm-up.

    • Mentally rehearse success: Visualize yourself completing the test calmly and efficiently.

    Most Accurate Online Mensa IQ Test in 2025

    As the demand for online intelligence testing continues to grow in 2025, finding a trusted and most accurate Mensa IQ test online has become more critical. While dozens of websites and apps claim to offer valid assessments, only a few provide the depth, credibility, and design quality needed to reflect an actual Mensa intelligence test experience. Among them, QuickIQTest.org stands out as a highly regarded platform offering a legitimate, science-backed way to measure your IQ.

    ⇒ Try the Official Free Mensa IQ Test with Fast Scoring!

    Trusted Platforms and Apps

    The internet is saturated with IQ tests, but very few are structured by actual psychometric testing principles. When evaluating platforms, it’s essential to look for those that:

    • Offer pattern-based logic questions similar to official Mensa test questions
    • Provide timed tests that simulate the real testing pressure..
    • Deliver scoring based on standard deviation from the IQ bell curve..
    • Offer a well-explained breakdown of performance.

    QuickIQTest.org ticks every one of these boxes. The platform’s online Mensa test is not a personality quiz or a gamified distraction. It is a research-based tool offering accurate feedback about fluid intelligence and reasoning capabilities.

    ⇒ Take the Most Accurate Mensa IQ Quiz with QuickIQTest.org!

    Certified vs. Unofficial Tests

    One common question from test takers is: Are certified tests better than unofficial ones?

    Certified Mensa admissions tests, typically taken under supervised conditions, are the gold standard for official membership. However, high-quality online IQ assessments can serve as a highly accurate predictor of whether someone might qualify for Mensa. The key is to choose a platform designed by experts in cognitive science and pattern recognition.

    QuickIQTest.org is not claiming to replace official testing but offers a Mensa IQ practice test that provides a strong, data-backed indication of your potential Mensa eligibility. It is one of the most reliable platforms for those who want to prepare, assess their standing, or challenge their intellect.

    Many users begin with the free Mensa IQ test and later, based on their results, take the official supervised exam. The scores align well with what people typically achieve in certified evaluations.

    Understanding Your IQ Score

    After completing a Mensa IQ Quiz online, the next crucial step is interpreting your results. Your score is more than just a number—it reflects how your cognitive abilities compare with the general population. Whether you’re using a free Mensa IQ test or a more structured Mensa intelligence test, it’s essential to understand what the score represents, how it’s calculated, and what it doesn’t say about you.

    ⇒ Curious About Your IQ? Take the Mensa Test Now!

    What Your Score Means

    IQ scores are designed to follow a standard distribution, with the average set at 100. When you take a Mensa IQ practice test through a reliable source like QuickIQTest.org, your final score is calculated based on the number of correct answers, the difficulty of questions, and how your performance compares to others.

    Your result is often accompanied by a percentile rank, which shows how many people you outperformed. For example:

    • A score of 100 means your intelligence level is right in the middle of the population.
    • A score of 130 or above may indicate potential eligibility for Mensa.
    • A score below 85 is still within the standard curve but on the lower end of the distribution.

    QuickIQTest.org provides immediate, easy-to-read score explanations after each Mensa online IQ test, helping users see where they stand and what it might mean for their educational or professional development.

    ⇒ See If You Make the Cut with This Mensa IQ Test!

    Average, High, and Low IQ Ranges

    Most online tests use the Wechsler scale or similar bell curves. Here’s how typical IQ scores are categorized:

    • Below 70: Considered well below average; may indicate developmental challenges
    • 70–84: Below average range
    • 85–114: Average range (majority of the population)
    • 115–129: Above average
    • 130+: High IQ; potential Mensa qualification

    The Mensa practice test, free at QuickIQTest.org, aligns its scoring with these global standards, offering users an accurate assessment of where they fall.

    While scoring above 130 on the IQ test doesn’t automatically mean Mensa membership, it’s often a strong indicator that you might qualify if you pursue the official supervised exam.

    ⇒ Reveal Your Cognitive Strengths with a Mensa IQ Test!

    Limitations and Misconceptions

    IQ tests measure specific types of intelligence—remarkably fluid reasoning, pattern recognition, and logic. They do not assess:

    • Creativity
    • Emotional intelligence (EQ)
    • Social skills
    • Practical problem-solving
    • Wisdom or moral judgment

    A common misconception is that a high IQ automatically equates to success or genius. While many high-IQ individuals thrive academically or professionally, success is influenced by many other factors, including motivation, opportunity, and emotional resilience.

    Another myth is that taking the Mensa IQ test multiple times will significantly inflate your score. While practice improves familiarity, accurate intelligence scores remain relatively stable over time.

    That said, tools like QuickIQTest.org offer meaningful insights and preparation. They’re designed for those aiming to join Mensa and for anyone curious about their cognitive strengths.

    8. Mensa IQ Test for Kids, Teens, and Adults

    Intelligence testing isn’t limited to adults. An adequately designed Mensa IQ test can help assess children, teenagers, and adults’ cognitive ability. However, it’s essential to recognize that age plays a critical role in measuring and interpreting IQ. Whether for educational placement, personal insight, or curiosity, the online Mensa IQ test at QuickIQTest.org adapts well across age groups by offering a flexible, pattern-based format appropriate for different developmental stages.

    Age-Appropriate IQ Assessments

    IQ testing must be aligned with age-related expectations to be accurate. The mental tasks a 10-year-old can solve differ significantly from those expected of a 30-year-old. Modern IQ tests adjust scoring to ensure fair comparisons across ages.

    QuickIQTest.org provides an IQ test and a Mensa platform suitable for teens and adults. It is typically recommended for ages 14 and up. For younger children, supervised testing with child-specific formats is more appropriate. However, for teens preparing for academic challenges or seeking Mensa eligibility, the Mensa practice test offers an excellent simulation of the logic-based reasoning questions used in official exams.

    Adults aged 20, 40, or 65 can use the Mensa online IQ test to evaluate cognitive agility. Unlike knowledge tests, these pattern-recognition exercises are designed to minimize age or cultural bias.

    ⇒ Start the Mensa IQ Test Online Free with QuickIQTest.org!

    Educational vs. General Intelligence Tests

    Educational IQ tests often assess verbal comprehension, arithmetic skills, and memory, traits aligned with classroom performance. In contrast, a Mensa intelligence test focuses on fluid intelligence: your ability to reason and think abstractly.

    The free Mensa IQ test from QuickIQTest.org is particularly well-suited for general intelligence evaluation. It doesn’t require prior academic knowledge. Instead, it asks questions based on logic, patterns, and spatial awareness—abilities that tend to be stable across diverse educational backgrounds.

    This makes the Mensa test a free experience appealing to students looking to challenge themselves and working professionals interested in their cognitive strengths.

    How Schools or Employers May Use Results

    Schools may recommend IQ testing for gifted program eligibility or special education placement. An above-average score—particularly in problem-solving and pattern recognition—can support a child’s placement in accelerated academic tracks.

    Some employers also use intelligence testing in hiring processes, especially for roles requiring critical thinking, analysis, or technical decision-making. While many organizations don’t ask for an actual Mensa IQ test, scores from high-quality platforms like QuickIQTest.org can provide personal insight and potentially be included in a professional portfolio.

    It’s worth noting that many individuals voluntarily share their Mensa IQ test answers or scores with mentors, educators, and coaches to guide future development.

    The Mensa practice test is free, and it’s a low-pressure way to get started, whether you’re a student preparing for higher education or a professional seeking a mental challenge.

    9. Is a Mensa IQ Test Legitimate?

    With the explosion of online testing platforms, it’s natural to question whether a Mensa IQ test taken online is accurate or valid. While not every internet quiz holds scientific value, well-structured assessments like those offered by QuickIQTest.org are developed to reflect genuine intelligence-testing principles. When done correctly, an online Mensa IQ test can provide results closely aligned with traditional, supervised testing used in clinical or academic settings.

    ⇒ Measure Your Intelligence with a Mensa-Style Quiz

    How Accurate Are Online IQ Tests Compared to Clinical Ones?

    Clinical IQ assessments, like the Stanford-Binet or WAIS-IV, are typically administered in controlled environments by certified professionals. They are used in education, employment, and mental health contexts and offer highly detailed insight into cognitive performance. They assess several forms of intelligence, including working memory, spatial reasoning, and processing speed.

    While online versions don’t provide the same depth, many use similar formats, particularly for fluid intelligence (the ability to identify patterns, solve problems, and reason abstractly). A properly designed Mensa practice test mimics these core aspects with visual pattern recognition, number series, and logic puzzles. QuickIQTest.org uses time-based challenges and varied question structures to replicate these elements, producing surprisingly consistent results with official Mensa entry exams.

    Many users of QuickIQTest.org report that their scores from this free Mensa IQ test fall within the same range as those received from in-person evaluations.

    How to Tell If a Test Is Scientifically Valid

    With so many tests online claiming to be “official” or “accurate,” how can you spot the real ones?

    Here are signs of scientific credibility in an online Mensa IQ test:

    • Timed sections: Intelligence isn’t just about getting the correct answer—it’s about speed and efficiency under time pressure.
    • Standardized scoring: Real IQ tests distribute results on a bell curve. Look for scores where 100 is average, with clear percentile rankings.
    • Diverse questions: A valid test includes spatial, numeric, and abstract reasoning,  each targeting different cognitive functions.
    • Adaptive difficulty: The test should gradually increase in complexity, which mirrors how official Mensa assessments are structured.
    • No personality quizzes or gimmicks: IQ tests aren’t mood surveys but analytical and performance-based.

    QuickIQTest.org delivers on all these fronts. Their online Mensa IQ test uses a scoring algorithm rooted in psychometric testing standards. The platform is built not to entertain, but to challenge users across different reasoning dimensions.

    Credentials to Look For in a Reliable IQ Test

    Even if a test is online, it should still meet standards that suggest professional input and real-world value. You don’t need a clinical psychologist to validate it, but some benchmarks help:

    • Developer transparency: Reputable IQ tests often mention who created the test, ideally, experts in cognitive science or psychometric testing.
    • Consistent user reviews: Real users should report that their scores feel realistic and reflect other intelligence evaluations they’ve taken.
    • No unrealistic promises: Beware of tests that guarantee Mensa admission or claim impossible accuracy. A legitimate Mensa intelligence test will acknowledge that only official, supervised tests can grant membership.

    At QuickIQTest.org, the goal is not to mislead users. Instead, they offer a highly regarded, free Mensa test alternative that enables individuals to evaluate their reasoning ability before deciding whether to apply for official Mensa testing.

    The Role of a Mensa Practice Test

    Think of a Mensa IQ test online like a practice run—it’s not a certification, but it’s the next best thing. It offers valuable preparation, helps reduce test anxiety, and gives you a clear picture of your strengths.

    Additionally, it is an excellent IQ screening tool because the Mensa sample test at QuickIQTest.org is patterned after real Mensa questions. It gives users honest feedback while preserving the integrity of what a real test should feel like.

    FAQS

    Can I take a free Mensa IQ test online?

    Taking a free Mensa IQ test online is possible, especially for practice and personal evaluation. While official Mensa tests must be supervised and often involve a fee, trusted platforms like QuickIQTest.org provide access to a Mensa IQ test online that mimics the structure and complexity of the real thing. This Mensa practice test free version includes timed questions and instant scoring, offering an effective way to understand how you might perform on a formal Mensa assessment. It benefits those interested in preparing before attempting an official supervised exam.

    How does the online Mensa IQ test work?

    An online Mensa IQ test generally presents a series of timed questions designed to test logic, spatial awareness, pattern recognition, and numerical reasoning. These tests are based on the same principles as formal IQ assessments used by Mensa International. At QuickIQTest.org, the structure includes:

    • Timed sections: Questions must be answered within a specific time limit to simulate real-world conditions.
    • Adaptive scoring: The test evaluates accuracy and the difficulty of questions answered correctly.
    • Instant results: Once completed, you receive a score range that corresponds with general IQ benchmarks, giving you an idea of where you stand compared to the population.

    This Mensa IQ practice test provides an accessible way to explore your intellectual strengths before considering official testing.

    How accurate is the online Mensa IQ test?

    The accuracy of an online Mensa IQ test depends on how well it follows accepted psychometric standards. While online versions do not replace supervised clinical assessments, services like QuickIQTest.org aim to provide a highly accurate and reliable evaluation. Their test uses cognitive science and logic-based structures similar to official IQ tests. It focuses on visual and numerical reasoning rather than learned knowledge, which makes it more reflective of your innate problem-solving abilities. While the score cannot be used for formal Mensa membership, it can indicate your potential and help guide whether you should pursue official testing.

    What does my IQ score mean?

    Your IQ score is a numerical expression of your cognitive performance relative to the general population. Most scoring systems are based on a bell curve, with 100 as the average IQ. Here’s a general breakdown:

    • 85–115: Average range (most people fall here)
    • 116–129: Above average
    • 130 and above: Gifted; potential Mensa qualification
    • Below 85: May indicate challenges in some areas of reasoning.

    When you take the IQ test, Mensa style, at QuickIQTest.org, your score will fall within a percentile rank, giving context to where you stand. However, it’s essential to understand that IQ is just one measure of cognitive potential and does not capture creativity, emotional intelligence, or other forms of intelligence.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Reps. Cherfilus-McCormick and Wasserman Schultz Lead Letter Urging USDA and HHS to Protect Free School Meals Amid Cuts

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Florida 20th district))

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20) and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) led 29 of their colleagues in urging the U.S. Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Health and Human Services (HHS) to assess and address the harmful impacts potential cuts to Medicaid and SNAP would have on students’ access to free and reduced-price school meals.

    In a letter to USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.,Congresswomen Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20) and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) expressed concern that proposed cuts in the current reconciliation bill could strip SNAP benefits from over 2 million children and jeopardize their Medicaid coverage—putting access to school meals at risk.

    “With food prices soaring and school meal debt at crisis levels, this is the moment to strengthen—not slash—the nutrition programs that keep our children fed, healthy, and ready to learn,” said Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL). “No parent should fear their child will go hungry or be left unprotected in a place of learning. This is more than policy—it’s a moral obligation. Feeding children should never be up for debate. As a mother, I carry that responsibility every day. America must do the same. Congress must act with urgency to protect these essential programs because our children’s health, safety, and futures depend on it.”

    “Republicans want to ram their ‘Big Ugly Bill’ through the House this week and hide its cruel impacts on our children,” said Wasserman Schultz (D-FL). “Deep Medicaid and SNAP cuts risk children losing both access to healthcare coverage and food at home – but it also chokes off access to free healthy school lunches. Republicans want to bury the real harm their cuts will inflict, and the ugly reality that it’s all being done to pay for wealthy tax breaks.  But I’ll proudly fight for our children and schools and ensure the cuts they face are not covered up.”

    The letter highlights the importance of direct certification and the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), which allows high-need schools to offer free meals to all students. Changes to Medicaid and SNAP could disqualify many schools—particularly in communities like Broward County, Florida—from meeting CEP thresholds, reversing hard-fought progress made under the previous Administration.

    Additional signatories of the letter include Reps. Amo (D-RI), Brownley (D-CA), Carson (D-IN), Carter (D-LA), Castor (D-FL), Clarke (D-NY), Cohen (D-TN), Crockett (D-TX), Davis (D-IL), DelBene (D-WA), Evans (D-PA), Figures (D-AL), García (D-IL), Gottheimer (D-NJ), Krishnamoorthi (D-IL), McIver (D-NJ), Olszewski (D-MD), Peters (D-CA), Pettersen (D-CO), Ramirez (D-IL), Salinas (D-OR), Smith (D-WA), Strickland (D-WA), Takano (D-CA), Thanedar (D-MI), Thompson (D-MI), Tlaib (D-MI), Velázquez (D- NY), and Wilson (D-FL).

    Washington, D.C.– Today, the U.S. House of Representatives voted on their first appropriations bill, H.R. 3944, the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. This legislation includes $452.64 billion for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and $18 billion for military construction and family housing, an increase over FY25 funding levels. This is the first of the twelve appropriations bills to be considered on the House floor and the Appropriations committee continues working to pass the remaining bills out of committee for floor consideration

    Congresswoman Bice issued the following statement:
    “Under the leadership of Chairman Cole, the House passed the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. As a member of this subcommittee, I am focused on fully funding veterans’ health care, benefits, and programs and supporting our military families. This bill also reflects the priorities of the Trump Administration by protecting the Second Amendment rights of veterans and preventing funding for DEI initiatives and gender affirming care. I look forward to continuing the appropriations process and working to responsibly fund the federal government.”

    The African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) have signed an agreement strengthening their collaboration on sustainable economic development, designed to boost infrastructure development and economic opportunities across the African continent.

    The Memorandum of Understanding, which builds on an earlier one in 2018, was signed by African Development Bank president, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, and AIIB President and Chair of the Board of Directors Jin Liqun on Saturday 28 June. The signing took place on the sidelines of a meeting of Heads of Multilateral Development Banks held in Paris, France, the same day.

    The agreement outlines continued collaboration from both parties in six priority areas, aligned with the Bank Group’s Ten-Year Strategy 2024–2033 as well as AIIB’s Corporate Strategy and its Strategy on Financing Operations in Non-Regional Members. The areas are:

    (i) Green infrastructure

    (ii) Industrialization

    (iii) Private capital mobilization including Public – Private Partnerships

    (iv) Cross-border-connectivity

    (v) Digitalization; and

    (vi) Policy-based financing

    The MOU will promote among other things, co-financing, co-guaranteeing and other forms of joint participation in financial assistance for development projects primarily in sustainable infrastructure. The African Development Bank and AIIB’s existing cooperation in this area, includes providing guarantees to support the issuance of Egypt’s first Sustainable Panda Bond in 2023, valued at RMB 3.5 billion.

    This historic issuance—backed by guarantees from both AfDB and AIIB—marked the first African sovereign bond placed in the Chinese interbank bond market. The guarantees provided by the two triple-A-rated multilateral banks were instrumental in de-risking the transaction, enabling Egypt to secure competitive terms and attract investor confidence.

    “This partnership continues to be an effective pathway to provide economic development for our member countries, especially in infrastructure. By reaffirming today, we are boosting energy access by accelerating Mission 300 which is targeting to connect 300 million people to electricity by 2030,” Dr Adesina said.

    Mr. Jin Liqun remarked: “The renewal of our partnership with the African Development Bank reflects AIIB’s commitment to supporting sustainable development beyond Asia. Through this collaboration, we can leverage our combined expertise to deliver transformative projects that will benefit millions across the continent and create prosperity through quality infrastructure investment.”

  • MIL-OSI Africa: Niger’s Prime Minister Joins African Energy Week (AEW) 2025 as Country Eyes Increased Oil Exports

    Mahamane Lamine Zeine, Prime Minister of the Republic of Niger, has joined the African Energy Week (AEW): Invest in African Energies 2025 conference as a speaker. During the event – which takes place September 29 to October 3 in Cape Town – Zeine is expected to share insight into the country’s oil and gas projects, detailing initiatives being implemented to increase production and crude exports.

    As the largest event of its kind in Africa, AEW: Invest in African Energies represents a strategic platform for African countries to not only promote their respective energy opportunities but foster cross-border collaboration and regional ties. Niger has been leveraging regional relations in recent months to advance oil exports, with infrastructure projects such as the Niger-Benin pipeline. The 100,000 barrel-per-day pipeline started operations in 2024, with oil successfully reaching the town of Sémè Kraké in Benin. The pipeline spans 1,950km and connects Niger’s Agadem oilfields to the Atlantic Ocean. During AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025, Zeine is expected to highlight the impact of the pipeline and how the project will support future oil and gas developments by providing a direct route to export markets.

    AEW: Invest in African Energies is the platform of choice for project operators, financiers, technology providers and government, and has emerged as the official place to sign deals in African energy. Visit www.AECWeek.com for more information about this exciting event.

    With the start of operations of the Niger-Benin pipeline, Niger is well-positioned to increase crude production. The country is currently promoting new investments in exploration blocks, with several milestones achieved in several months. Algeria’s national oil company (NOC) Sonatrach – in partnership with Niger’s NOC Sonidep – announced plans to revive exploration activities in the country. The companies signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in 2024, committing to exploring opportunities for cooperation. The agreement paves the way for the companies to form partnerships in exploration, production, refining, petrochemicals and petroleum product distribution. Sonatrach is currently engaged in the country’s Kafra block in northern Niger. The block has featured two exploration wells – KFR-1 and KFRN-1 -, with the discovery of 168 million barrels and 100 million barrels of proven and probably oil reserves, respectively.

    Sonatrach is also looking at constructing a refinery and petrochemical complex in Dosso, situated in southwestern Niger. The refinery will have an initial capacity of 30,000 bpd, with potential expansion to 100,000 bpd. Following its completion, the refinery is expected to offer low-cost fuel products for the domestic market. Meanwhile, under the terms of a signed agreement, Sonatrach will provide specialized training program for Nigerien engineers and technicians at Algerian refineries, supporting skills development in Niger.  

    Niger currently produces approximately 20,000 bpd of crude from the Agadem Rift Basin. In 2024, China National Petroleum Corporation signed a deal worth $400 million for the sale of crude from the Agadem oilfield. This signals new opportunities for crude exports and comes as players in the country make strides towards increasing production. Notably, oil and gas company Savannah Energy is a key player in Niger’s hydrocarbon sector. The company plans to increase production to 5,000 bpd through the development of recently-discovered oil blocks. Savannah’s hydrocarbon license interests cover approximately 13,655 km² – representing 50% of the country’s main petroleum basin, the Agadem Rift Basin. The company has identified 35 million barrels of gross 2C resources across its R3 East discoveries, with an additional 90 million barrels of gross unrisked prospective resources identified from five prospects and leads within tie-in distance to the planned R3 East facilities. With five wells drilled and five discoveries to date, Savannah Energy has witnessed significant success in Niger.

    “Niger has significant potential to become a major crude exporter, with projects such as the Niger-Benin pipeline poised to play an instrumental part in getting Nigerien crude to global markets. To unlock the true potential of this project, Niger requires significant investment across the upstream sector. Insights shared at AEW: Invest in African Energies 2025 will support future deal-signing and exploration,” states NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman, African Energy Chamber.

    BEIJING, June 30 (Xinhua) — The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting on Monday to review a set of regulations on the work of the decision-making, advisory and coordinating organs of the CPC Central Committee. General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping chaired the meeting.

    The meeting participants noted that the establishment of the CPC Central Committee’s decision-making, advisory and coordinating organs is an important institutional measure to strengthen the unified centralized leadership of the CPC Central Committee over key work and ensure the fulfillment of key tasks. The formulation and issuance of regulations will further standardize the establishment, definition of duties and operation of such organs. The regulations are of great significance for improving top-level planning, overall coordination, comprehensive advancement and effective implementation of key work.

    The meeting stressed that the decision-making, advisory and coordinating organs of the CPC Central Committee should have a clear understanding of their duties and status. They should focus on planning, discussing and supervising the implementation of major tasks, and provide more effective overall leadership and coordination of key work. While fully fulfilling their coordinating duties, they should avoid taking on other people’s functions and exceeding the limits of their authority. At the same time, they should conduct in-depth studies to improve the quality and efficiency of decision-making and discussion, and propose practical and effective policies. At the same time, it is extremely important to avoid formalism and bureaucracy and achieve practical results.

    Other issues were also discussed during the meeting. –0–

    Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures, Liquidity Measures and Select Performance Metrics

    Progress furnishes certain non-GAAP supplemental information to our financial results. We use such non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management team believes that excluding the effects of certain GAAP-related items helps to illustrate underlying trends in our business and provides us with a more comparable measure of our continuing business, as well as greater understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business. Management also uses such non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, evaluate performance, and allocate resources. In addition, the compensation of our executives and non-executive employees is based in part on the performance of our business as evaluated by such non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future by: (i) providing more transparency for certain financial measures, (ii) presenting disclosure that helps investors understand how we plan and measure the performance of our business, (iii) affording a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to our peer companies, and (iv) enabling investors to consider our operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis (including following the integration period of our prior acquisitions). However, this non-GAAP information is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be considered in conjunction with our GAAP results as the items excluded from the non-GAAP information may have a material impact on Progress’ financial results. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjustments to Progress’ GAAP financial results is included in the tables above.

    In the noted fiscal periods, we adjusted for the following items from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures:

    • Amortization of acquired intangibles – We exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because those expenses are unrelated to our core operating performance and the intangible assets acquired vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions and the maturities of the businesses acquired. Adjustments include preliminary estimates relating to the valuation of intangible assets from ShareFile. The final amounts will not be available until the Company’s internal procedures and reviews are completed.
    • Stock-based compensation – We exclude stock-based compensation to be consistent with the way management and, in our view, the overall financial community evaluates our performance and the methods used by analysts to calculate consensus estimates. The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include these charges in operating plans.
    • Restructuring expenses – In all periods presented, we exclude restructuring expenses incurred because those expenses distort trends and are not part of our core operating results. Adjustments include preliminary estimates relating to restructuring expenses from ShareFile. The final amounts will not be available until the Company’s internal procedures and reviews are completed.
    • Acquisition-related expenses – We exclude acquisition-related expenses in order to provide a more meaningful comparison of the financial results to our historical operations and forward-looking guidance and the financial results of less acquisitive peer companies. We consider these types of costs and adjustments, to a great extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, we do not consider these acquisition-related costs and adjustments to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. In addition, the size, complexity and/or volume of past acquisitions, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future acquisitions.
    • Cyber vulnerability response expenses, net – We exclude certain expenses resulting from the zero-day MOVEit Vulnerability, as more thoroughly described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission since June 5, 2023. Expenses include costs to investigate and remediate these cyber related matters, as well as legal and other professional services related thereto. Expenses related to such cyber matters are provided net of expected insurance recoveries, although the timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses. Costs associated with the enhancement of our cybersecurity program are not included within this adjustment. We expect to continue to incur legal and other professional services expenses in future periods associated with the MOVEit Vulnerability. Expenses related to such cyber matters are expected to result in operating expenses that would not have otherwise been incurred in the normal course of business operations. We believe that excluding these costs facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
    • Provision for income taxes – We adjust our income tax provision by excluding the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments discussed above.
    • Constant currency – Revenue from our international operations has historically represented a substantial portion of our total revenue. As a result, our revenue results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we present revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis, which helps improve the understanding of our revenue results and our performance in comparison to prior periods. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates.

    In the noted fiscal periods, we also present the following liquidity measures:

    • Adjusted free cash flow (“AFCF”) and unlevered free cash flow (“Unlevered FCF”) – AFCF is equal to cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, plus restructuring payments. Unlevered FCF is AFCF plus tax-effected interest expense on outstanding debt.

    In the noted fiscal periods, we also present the following select performance metrics:

    • Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) – We disclose ARR as a performance metric to help investors better understand and assess the performance of our business because our mix of revenue generated from recurring sources currently represents the substantial majority of our revenues and is expected to continue in the future. We define ARR as the annualized revenue of all active and contractually binding term-based contracts from all customers at a point in time. ARR includes revenue from maintenance, software upgrade rights, public cloud, and on-premises subscription-based transactions and managed services. ARR mitigates fluctuations in revenue due to seasonality, contract term and the sales mix of subscriptions for term-based licenses and SaaS. We use ARR to understand customer trends and the overall health of our business, helping us to formulate strategic business decisions.

      We calculate the annualized value of annual and multi-year contracts, and contracts with terms less than one year, by dividing the total contract value of each contract by the number of months in the term and then multiplying by 12. Annualizing contracts with terms less than one-year results in amounts being included in our ARR that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period. We generally do not sell non-SaaS-based contracts with a term of less than one year unless a customer is purchasing additional licenses under an existing annual or multi-year contract. The expectation is that at the time of renewal, such contracts with a term less than one year will renew with the same term as the existing contracts being renewed, such that both contracts are co-termed. Historically, such contracts with a term of less than one year renew at rates equal to or better than annual or multi-year contracts.

      For SaaS-based contracts, there is a meaningful percentage of monthly auto-renewing contracts for which annualizing the contracts results in amounts being included in our ARR that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period.

      Revenue from term-based license and on-premises subscription arrangements include a portion of the arrangement consideration that is allocated to the software license that is recognized up-front at the point in time control is transferred under ASC 606 revenue recognition principles. ARR for these arrangements is calculated as described above. The expectation is that the total contract value, inclusive of revenue recognized as software license, will be renewed at the end of the contract term.

      The calculation is done at constant currency using the current year budgeted exchange rates for all periods presented.

      ARR is not defined in GAAP and is not derived from a GAAP measure. Rather, ARR generally aligns to billings (as opposed to GAAP revenue which aligns to the transfer of control of each performance obligation). ARR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.

    • Net Retention Rate (“NRR”) – We calculate net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the net retention rate. Net retention rate is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and is not derived from a GAAP measure.

    Important Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures, Liquidity Measures and Select Performance Metrics

    Progress furnishes certain non-GAAP supplemental information to our financial results. We use such non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our period-over-period operating performance because our management team believes that excluding the effects of certain GAAP-related items helps to illustrate underlying trends in our business and provides us with a more comparable measure of our continuing business, as well as greater understanding of the results from the primary operations of our business. Management also uses such non-GAAP financial measures to establish budgets and operational goals, evaluate performance, and allocate resources. In addition, the compensation of our executives and non-executive employees is based in part on the performance of our business as evaluated by such non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures enhance investors’ overall understanding of our current financial performance and our prospects for the future by: (i) providing more transparency for certain financial measures, (ii) presenting disclosure that helps investors understand how we plan and measure the performance of our business, (iii) affording a view of our operating results that may be more easily compared to our peer companies, and (iv) enabling investors to consider our operating results on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis (including following the integration period of our prior acquisitions). However, this non-GAAP information is not in accordance with, or an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and should be considered in conjunction with our GAAP results as the items excluded from the non-GAAP information may have a material impact on Progress’ financial results. A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjustments to Progress’ GAAP financial results is included in the tables above.

    In the noted fiscal periods, we adjusted for the following items from our GAAP financial results to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures:

    • Amortization of acquired intangibles – We exclude amortization of acquired intangibles because those expenses are unrelated to our core operating performance and the intangible assets acquired vary significantly based on the timing and magnitude of our acquisition transactions and the maturities of the businesses acquired. Adjustments include preliminary estimates relating to the valuation of intangible assets from ShareFile. The final amounts will not be available until the Company’s internal procedures and reviews are completed.
    • Stock-based compensation – We exclude stock-based compensation to be consistent with the way management and, in our view, the overall financial community evaluates our performance and the methods used by analysts to calculate consensus estimates. The expense related to stock-based awards is generally not controllable in the short-term and can vary significantly based on the timing, size and nature of awards granted. As such, we do not include these charges in operating plans.
    • Restructuring expenses – In all periods presented, we exclude restructuring expenses incurred because those expenses distort trends and are not part of our core operating results. Adjustments include preliminary estimates relating to restructuring expenses from ShareFile. The final amounts will not be available until the Company’s internal procedures and reviews are completed.
    • Acquisition-related expenses – We exclude acquisition-related expenses in order to provide a more meaningful comparison of the financial results to our historical operations and forward-looking guidance and the financial results of less acquisitive peer companies. We consider these types of costs and adjustments, to a great extent, to be unpredictable and dependent on a significant number of factors that are outside of our control. Furthermore, we do not consider these acquisition-related costs and adjustments to be related to the organic continuing operations of the acquired businesses and are generally not relevant to assessing or estimating the long-term performance of the acquired assets. In addition, the size, complexity and/or volume of past acquisitions, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of the size, complexity and/or volume of future acquisitions.
    • Cyber vulnerability response expenses, net – We exclude certain expenses resulting from the zero-day MOVEit Vulnerability, as more thoroughly described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission since June 5, 2023. Expenses include costs to investigate and remediate these cyber related matters, as well as legal and other professional services related thereto. Expenses related to such cyber matters are provided net of expected insurance recoveries, although the timing of recognizing insurance recoveries may differ from the timing of recognizing the associated expenses. Costs associated with the enhancement of our cybersecurity program are not included within this adjustment. We expect to continue to incur legal and other professional services expenses in future periods associated with the MOVEit Vulnerability. Expenses related to such cyber matters are expected to result in operating expenses that would not have otherwise been incurred in the normal course of business operations. We believe that excluding these costs facilitates a more meaningful evaluation of our operating performance and comparisons to our past operating performance.
    • Provision for income taxes – We adjust our income tax provision by excluding the tax impact of the non-GAAP adjustments discussed above.
    • Constant currency – Revenue from our international operations has historically represented a substantial portion of our total revenue. As a result, our revenue results have been impacted, and we expect will continue to be impacted, by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period-to-period comparisons, we present revenue growth rates on a constant currency basis, which helps improve the understanding of our revenue results and our performance in comparison to prior periods. The constant currency information presented is calculated by translating current period results using prior period weighted average foreign currency exchange rates.

    In the noted fiscal periods, we also present the following liquidity measures:

    • Adjusted free cash flow (“AFCF”) and unlevered free cash flow (“Unlevered FCF”) – AFCF is equal to cash flows from operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, plus restructuring payments. Unlevered FCF is AFCF plus tax-effected interest expense on outstanding debt.

    In the noted fiscal periods, we also present the following select performance metrics:

    • Annualized Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) – We disclose ARR as a performance metric to help investors better understand and assess the performance of our business because our mix of revenue generated from recurring sources currently represents the substantial majority of our revenues and is expected to continue in the future. We define ARR as the annualized revenue of all active and contractually binding term-based contracts from all customers at a point in time. ARR includes revenue from maintenance, software upgrade rights, public cloud, and on-premises subscription-based transactions and managed services. ARR mitigates fluctuations in revenue due to seasonality, contract term and the sales mix of subscriptions for term-based licenses and SaaS. We use ARR to understand customer trends and the overall health of our business, helping us to formulate strategic business decisions.

      We calculate the annualized value of annual and multi-year contracts, and contracts with terms less than one year, by dividing the total contract value of each contract by the number of months in the term and then multiplying by 12. Annualizing contracts with terms less than one-year results in amounts being included in our ARR that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period. We generally do not sell non-SaaS-based contracts with a term of less than one year unless a customer is purchasing additional licenses under an existing annual or multi-year contract. The expectation is that at the time of renewal, such contracts with a term less than one year will renew with the same term as the existing contracts being renewed, such that both contracts are co-termed. Historically, such contracts with a term of less than one year renew at rates equal to or better than annual or multi-year contracts.

      For SaaS-based contracts, there is a meaningful percentage of monthly auto-renewing contracts for which annualizing the contracts results in amounts being included in our ARR that are in excess of the total contract value for those contracts at the end of the reporting period.

      Revenue from term-based license and on-premises subscription arrangements include a portion of the arrangement consideration that is allocated to the software license that is recognized up-front at the point in time control is transferred under ASC 606 revenue recognition principles. ARR for these arrangements is calculated as described above. The expectation is that the total contract value, inclusive of revenue recognized as software license, will be renewed at the end of the contract term.

      The calculation is done at constant currency using the current year budgeted exchange rates for all periods presented.

      ARR is not defined in GAAP and is not derived from a GAAP measure. Rather, ARR generally aligns to billings (as opposed to GAAP revenue which aligns to the transfer of control of each performance obligation). ARR does not have any standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. ARR should be viewed independently of revenue and deferred revenue and is not intended to be combined with or to replace either of those items. ARR is not a forecast and the active contracts at the end of a reporting period used in calculating ARR may or may not be extended or renewed by our customers.

    • Net Retention Rate (“NRR”) – We calculate net retention rate as of a period end by starting with the ARR from the cohort of all customers as of 12 months prior to such period end (“Prior Period ARR”). We then calculate the ARR from these same customers as of the current period end (“Current Period ARR”). Current Period ARR includes any expansion and is net of contraction or attrition over the last 12 months but excludes ARR from new customers in the current period. We then divide the total Current Period ARR by the total Prior Period ARR to arrive at the net retention rate. Net retention rate is not calculated in accordance with GAAP and is not derived from a GAAP measure.

  • MIL-OSI NGOs: UK: disappointing High Court arms to Israel judgment ‘does not change the facts’ of Gaza genocide

    Source: Amnesty International –

    UK: DISAPPOINTING HIGH COURT ARMS TO ISRAEL JUDGMENT ‘DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACTS’ OF GAZA GENOCIDE

    Amnesty International UK has expressed disappointment following today’s High Court ruling that the court found it did not have the constitutional authority to intervene in the Government’s policy of supplying spare parts for the F35 fighter jet for use by Israel in the occupied Gaza Strip. 

    Amnesty International will be considering the implications of the full judgment with more details to follow.

    In response to the verdict, Sacha Deshmukh, Chief Executive of Amnesty International UK, said:

    “We are disappointed by today’s ruling, but the court has been clear that while it does not have the authority to make a judgment on UK exports of F-35 arms parts, this does not absolve the executive and Parliament from their responsibilities to act.

    “The UK has a legal obligation to help prevent and punish genocide and yet it continues to authorise the export of weapons to Israel despite the clear risks that these weapons will be used to commit genocide.

    “The horrifying reality in Gaza is unfolding in full view of the world: entire families obliterated, civilians killed in so-called safe zones, hospitals reduced to rubble, and a population driven into starvation by a cruel blockade and forced displacement. These are not isolated tragedies; they are part of a systematic assault on a besieged population

    “This judgment does not change the facts on the ground, nor does it absolve the UK government of its responsibilities under international law. The risk that UK arms may be used to facilitate serious international crimes remains alarmingly high. If the courts will not intervene, then the moral and legal burden on the Government and Parliament to act – before more lives are lost and further irreparable harm is done – is even greater.

    “The UK must end all arms transfers to Israel if we are serious as a country about our commitments to international law and human rights.”

    Interveners

    The case, brought by campaigners seeking to halt UK arms transfers to Israel, highlighted the devastating impact of Israeli military operations in the occupied Gaza Strip – attacks that have led to the killing of tens of thousands of civilians, the destruction of essential infrastructure, and the forced displacement of over a million people. These exports have been linked to potential war crimes in Gaza, including bombings in Al-Mawasi, a designated safe zone where at least 90 people were reported to have been killed in a single attack.  

    Amnesty International UK and Human Rights Watch intervened in the case, submitting extensive documentation and legal arguments demonstrating Israel’s sustained disregard for international humanitarian law, and underscoring the UK’s binding obligation under Article 1 of the Genocide Convention to act to prevent genocide.

    The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office protests Georgian Dreams crackdown on civil society, independent media and critical voice in Georgia

    Today (30 June 2025), the Georgian Chargé d’Affaires was summoned to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, where a senior official made clear the UK’s firm opposition to their country’s increasingly harmful trajectory and strongly objected to false claims and public attacks launched by Georgian Dream against the UK and international partners.

    An FCDO Spokesperson said:

    “The imprisonment of prominent opposition leaders is the latest attempt by the Georgian government to crack down on freedoms and stifle dissent.

    “The detention of election rivals is incompatible with any remaining Euro-Atlantic aspirations held by Georgian Dream as well as their own constitutional commitments.

    “The UK Government will not hesitate to consider further action should Georgia not return to respecting and upholding democracy, freedoms, and human rights.”

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: UNDRR deepens support for local resilience at the 12th European Urban Resilience Forum

    Source: UNISDR Disaster Risk Reduction

    The 12th European Urban Resilience Forum (EURESFO), held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands from 25-27 June 2025, provided an important platform for urban resilience practitioners to reinforce their commitment to accelerating local action on resilience, climate adaptation, and disaster risk reduction in the context of growing urban challenges. 

    As urban areas in Europe and beyond face cascading risks-from heatwaves and floods to geopolitical instability and infrastructure stress-UNDRR used the platform to underscore the critical role of local governments in driving meaningful disaster risk reduction and climate adaptation. 

    In a video message to the Forum’s opening plenary, Kamal Kishore, Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Disaster Risk Reduction, emphasized three global priorities: strengthening local implementation of DRR strategies, unlocking resilience financing, and scaling up community-driven innovation. 

    “If we do not reduce risk at the local level, we will not succeed in reducing losses at the global level,” he stated, calling for stronger investment and partnerships to translate plans into action. 

    UNDRR’s active engagement throughout the Forum showcased its commitment to supporting cities through the Making Cities Resilient 2030 (MCR2030) initiative. Yigyeong Oh, MCR2030 Regional Focal Point for Europe and Central Asia, spoke in multiple sessions, including the opening plenary “Resilience in Crisis: Accelerating Action for a Just Future” and the panel discussion “Building Urban Resilience in an Era of Polycrisis: The Holistic Agenda.” She highlighted how MCR2030 has grown into a global movement of over 1,850 cities, supporting local governments with risk-informed governance, resilience assessments, and stakeholder collaboration. 

    “In a time of polycrisis, resilience is not a siloed agenda,” Oh noted. “Cities are facing overlapping challenges-climate shocks, economic pressures, and social inequality-and MCR2030 enables them to plan holistically, act collectively, and learn globally.” 

    UNDRR also co-moderated the workshop “Local Action to Address Extreme Heat – CitiesHitRefresh,” which addressed one of the fastest growing disaster risks in Europe. Zdravko Maxomovic from Kraljevo, an MCR2030 city from Serbia, shared its practical experiences in managing heat risks and contributing to the upcoming second edition of UNDRR’s Flames of Change report, a knowledge product documenting inclusive urban resilience solutions. 

    Nature-based solutions were another key theme. UNDRR supported the session “Collaborate, Educate, Transform: Building the Future of Nature-Based Solutions in Cities,” where Małgorzata Bartyna-Zielińska from the City of Wrocław, an MCR2030 Resilience Hub, presented its award-winning LifeCOOLCity project. The session underscored the power of peer learning through networks like MCR2030.

    Beyond technical sessions, UNDRR joined ICLEI and other partners for a side meeting with Ukrainian cities, including Lviv, an MCR2030 Resilience Hub, focused on the Ukraine Recovery Roadmap and aligning international support with local resilience priorities. 

    UNDRR also pitched the MCR2030 Climate Resilience Addendum to the Disaster Resilience Scorecard for Cities during the pitch session, offering cities a practical tool to assess and enhance resilience to climate-related risks. 

    As the Forum concluded, a common message resonated across sessions: Europe has a unique role in shaping standards, fostering multilevel governance, and investing in long-term resilience. UNDRR reaffirmed its commitment to advancing these goals by supporting local governments with tools, knowledge, and partnerships through MCR2030 and other initiatives. With the urgency of accelerating resilience action, the Forum reinforced the need for collective action-local leadership supported by global collaboration-to ensure no city is left behind.

    Jabil Selects Rowan County for Nearly 1,200 New Jobs and $500 Million Multi-Year Investment

    Mon, 06/30/2025 – 15:30

    Raleigh, NC

    Today Governor Josh Stein announced Jabil Inc., a leader in engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing solutions, expects to create 1,181 new jobs in Rowan County. The company says it will invest approximately $500 million over several years to establish a manufacturing facility to support cloud and AI data center customers.

    “Companies that are already operating in North Carolina know the value of doing business in our state better than anyone,” said Governor Josh Stein. “We welcome Jabil’s expansion, and we are committed to further developing the largest manufacturing workforce in the southeast and the business-friendly climate they need for this next phase of growth.”

    Headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, Jabil has a global footprint that spans more than 25 countries and 140,000 employees. The company has 30 locations across the United States, including three in North Carolina. Jabil supports customers across various industries, including AI data center infrastructure, healthcare, warehouse automation, and robotics.

    “The drive to build AI data centers is only accelerating in the United States,” said Matt Crowley, Executive Vice President, Global Business Units. “We are excited to help meet that demand, provide additional scale and capabilities for our data center customers, and empower the AI solutions of the future with Jabil’s new facility here in Rowan County.”

    “North Carolina has a proven track record of cultivating an environment where companies like Jabil can manufacture innovative solutions for the global economy,” said Commerce Secretary Lee Lilley. “Our ecosystem of workforce training partnerships, Tier 1 research, and growing supply chain is sure to ignite the advancement of this next generation technology and provide the company a great return on its investment.”

    Jabil plans to offer job opportunities to attract skilled manufacturing and engineering professionals. These new jobs could create a potential annual payroll impact of more than $73.2 million for the region. 

    Jabil’s expansion in North Carolina will be facilitated, in part, by a Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) approved by the state’s Economic Investment Committee earlier today. Over the course of the 12-year term of this grant, the project is estimated to grow the state’s economy by $3.2 billion. Using a formula that takes into account $264 million of the company’s investment as well as the new tax revenues generated by the new jobs, the JDIG agreement authorizes the potential reimbursement to the company of up to $11,251,800, spread over 12 years. State payments only occur following performance verification by the departments of Commerce and Revenue that the company has met its incremental job creation and investment targets.

    The project’s projected return on investment of public dollars is 115 percent, meaning for every dollar of potential cost to the state, the state receives $2.15 in state revenue. JDIG projects result in positive net tax revenue to the state treasury, even after taking into consideration the grant’s reimbursement payments to a given company.

    Because Jabil chose to locate to Rowan County, classified by the state’s economic tier system as Tier 2, the company’s JDIG agreement also calls for moving $1,250,200 into the state’s Industrial Development Fund – Utility Account. The Utility Account helps rural communities finance necessary infrastructure upgrades to attract future business. Even when new jobs are created in a Tier 2 county such as Rowan, the new tax revenue generated through JDIG grants helps more economically challenged communities elsewhere in the state.

    “We welcome Jabil to Rowan County,” said Senator Carl Ford. “These new jobs are proof that our state and local investments to prepare for announcements like this are paying off for both our existing industry and local economy.”

    “This is outstanding news for our region,” said Representative Harry Warren. “Our community is centrally located along to East Coast, and thanks to the state’s well-connected transportation network, Jabil can easily access the global market.”

    In addition to the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina, other key partners in this project include the North Carolina General Assembly, N.C. Commerce’s Division of Workforce Solutions, the North Carolina Community College System, Rowan-Cabarrus Community College, Rowan County, and Rowan Economic Development Council.

    With this announcement, since January 1st, Governor Stein has announced business expansions or new projects that will make nearly $17 billion of new capital investment in North Carolina and create more than 19,000 new good-paying jobs.

  • MIL-OSI: The Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund, Inc. Pays Distribution

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    MIAMI BEACH, Fla., June 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Herzfeld Caribbean Basin Fund, Inc. (NASDAQ: CUBA) (the “Fund”) today announced that the Fund has made the following distribution pursuant to the Fund’s Managed Distribution Policy (the “Policy”):

    Declaration
    Date
    Ex-Date Record Date Payment Date Per Share
    05/09/2025 05/23/2025 05/23/2025 06/30/2025 $0.2325

    The distribution for stockholders has been paid in cash or shares of the Fund’s common stock at the election of stockholders. The total amount of cash distributed to all stockholders was limited to 20% of the total distribution to be paid, excluding any cash paid for fractional shares. The remainder of the distribution (approximately 80%) was paid in the form of shares of the Fund’s common stock. The exact distribution of cash and stock to any given stockholder was dependent upon his/her election as well as elections of other stockholders, subject to the pro-rata limitation.

    The price used to calculate the number of shares to be issued in lieu of cash is $2.4618, which was determined using the volume weighted average price per share of the Fund on June 12, 13 and 16, 2025. The total amount of cash and shares distributed under the Policy was as follows:

    Total Cash Total Shares
    $731,093.39 1,187,755.00

    Stockholders who elected to receive the distribution solely in shares of common stock and stockholders who did not make an election will receive approximately 0.0944 shares of common stock for each share of common stock they owned on the record date of May 9, 2025. Holders of approximately 50.62% of the Company’s common stock elected to receive only stock or did not make an election.

    Stockholders electing to receive the distribution in all cash will receive cash in the amount of $0.09418 per common share, or approximately 40.51% of the $0.2325 distribution, and 0.0562 shares of common stock, or approximately 59.49% of the total distribution for each share of common stock they owned on the record date of May 9, 2025. Cash in lieu of fractional shares will be issued, if applicable. Total outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock following the distribution will be approximately 16,908,652.

    The primary purpose of the Policy is to provide stockholders with a constant, but not guaranteed, fixed minimum rate of distribution (currently set at the annual rate of 15% of the Fund’s net asset value as determined on June 30, 2024). Under the Policy, distributions may be made at quarterly, semi-annual or annual periods of distribution and are reviewed by the Board each quarter. This allows the Fund to maintain its 15% annual distribution of NAV, but provides flexibility in determining the timing of those distributions in order to account for required year-end regulatory distributions of capital gains necessary to maintain the Fund’s tax-free status.

    The Fund cannot predict what effect, if any, the Policy will have on the market price of its shares or whether such market price will reflect a greater or lesser discount to net asset value as compared to prior to the adoption of the Policy

    Under the Policy, the Fund will distribute all available investment income to its stockholders, consistent with its investment objective and as required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of the Board.   If sufficient investment income is not available on a quarterly basis, the Fund will distribute long-term capital gains and/or return capital to its stockholders in order to maintain its managed distribution level. The Fund is currently not relying on any exemptive relief from Section 19(b) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund may make additional distributions from time to time, including additional capital gain distributions at the end of the taxable year, if required to meet requirements imposed by the Code and/or the 1940 Act. Please note that for shareholders enrolled in the Fund’s Dividend Distribution Reinvestment Plan, the distribution will be reinvested in additional shares of the Fund as described in the Policy.

    The Fund expects that distributions under the Policy will exceed investment income and available capital gains and thus expects that distributions under the Policy will likely include returns of capital for the foreseeable future. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of a stockholder’s investment is paid back to the stockholder. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with ‘yield’ or ‘income.’ Furthermore, a return of capital distribution is not a guarantee of future distributions or yield.’ Any such returns of capital will decrease the Fund’s total assets and, therefore, could have the effect of increasing the Fund’s expense ratio. In addition, in order to maintain the level of distributions called for under its Policy, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities at a less than opportune time.

    The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the current distribution and the cumulative distributions declared this fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment income, net realized capital gains and return of capital. All amounts are expressed per common share.

      Current Distribution % Breakdown of the Current Distribution Total Cumulative Distributions for the Fiscal Year to Date % Breakdown of the Total Cumulative Distributions for the Fiscal Year to Date
    Net Investment Income $0.00 0%   $0.00 0%  
    Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gains $0.00 0%   $0.00 0%  
    Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gains $0.2122 91.25%   $0.2122 45.6%  
    Return of Capital $0.0203 8.75%   $0.2528 54.4%  
    Total (per common share) $0.2325 100%   $0.4650 100%  
    Average annual total return (in relation to NAV) for the 5-year period ending on May 30, 2025 2.52%  
    Annualized current distribution rate expressed as a percentage of NAV as of May 30, 2025 17.55%  
    Cumulative total return (in relation to NAV) for the fiscal year through May 30, 2025 0.09%  
    Cumulative fiscal year distributions as a percentage of NAV as of May 30, 2025 17.55%  


    No conclusions should be drawn about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s distributions or from the terms of the Policy.

    The amount distributed per share is subject to change at the discretion of the Board. The Policy is subject to ongoing review by the Board to determine whether it should be continued, modified or terminated. The Board may amend the terms of the Policy, suspend the Policy, or terminate the Policy at any time without prior notice to the Fund’s stockholders if it deems such actions to be in the best interest of the Fund or its stockholders. The amendment or termination of the Policy could have an adverse effect on the market price of the Fund’s shares. On May 9, 2024, the Board approved certain modifications to the Policy and extended the Policy through June 30, 2025.

    With each distribution that does not consist solely of net investment income, the Fund will issue a notice to stockholders and an accompanying press release that will provide detailed information regarding the amount and composition of the distribution and other related information. The amounts and sources of distributions reported in the notice to stockholders are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during its full fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send stockholders a Form 1099-DIV for the respective calendar year that will tell them how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes. Stockholders should consult their tax advisor for proper tax treatment of the Fund’s distributions.
