The ex-date (or ex-dividend date) for an ETF is the critical trading day on which investors who purchase shares will no longer be entitled to receive the forthcoming dividend distribution, marking the cutoff point that determines dividend eligibility for shareholders.

The record date for an ETF is the specific day, typically one business day after the ex-dividend date, when the fund company takes a snapshot of its shareholder registry to determine which investors are officially entitled to receive the upcoming dividend distribution.

The payable date for an ETF is the specific calendar day when the fund administrator actually distributes the declared dividend payments to all eligible shareholders who owned shares on the record date, completing the dividend distribution process.

Distribution per share for an ETF is the precise monetary amount paid out to investors for each share they own, representing income from dividends, interest, capital gains or return of capital collected by the fund and subsequently distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.

The distribution rate for an ETF is a critical performance metric that expresses the annualized percentage return derived from all distributions (including dividends, interest, and capital gains) paid to shareholders over a specified period relative to the fund’s current market price, providing investors with a standardized measure to evaluate income-generating potential across different investment vehicles.

Return of Capital (ROC). The ROC percentage indicates how much the distribution reflects an investor’s initial investment. The figures shown for each Fund in the table above are estimates based on the latest 19a1 forms and may later be determined to be taxable net investment income, short-term gains, long-term gains (to the extent permitted by law), or return of capital. Actual amounts and sources for tax reporting will depend upon the Fund’s investment activities during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. Your broker will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year to tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

An options contract is a standardized financial agreement that grants the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset, such as a stock, at a predetermined price (known as the strike price) on or before a defined expiration date, enabling investors to hedge risk, generate income or express directional views on market movements.

A put option is a standardized financial contract that grants the holder the right, but not the obligation, to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset, such as a stock, at a predetermined price (known as the strike price) on or before a defined expiration date, typically used to hedge against potential declines in asset value or to express a bearish market outlook.

MIL-OSI: Ascent Solar Technologies Enters Collaborative Agreement Notice with NASA to Advance Development of Thin-Film PV Power Beaming Capabilities

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

THORNTON, Colo., June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ascent Solar Technologies (Nasdaq: ASTI) (“Ascent” or the “Company”), the leading U.S. innovator in the design and manufacture of featherweight, flexible, and durable CIGS thin-film photovoltaic (PV) solutions, announced today that the company is commencing work on a Collaborative Agreement Notice (CAN) with NASA Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) and support from NASA Glenn Research Center (GRC) to efficiently advance capabilities for receiving beamed power using CIGS PV modules.

The CAN program targets rapid iterative development to mature commercial products for enabling mission architectures to include beamed power. The public-private partnership includes Ascent contributing design and prototyping services with NASA providing technical subject matter expertise and test services through combined MSFC & GRC efforts. This 12-month technology maturation will result in commercial products being made available for distributed space power infrastructure, drastically lowering the cost, complexity and risk of NASA missions.

Launched in 2023, NASA’s Psyche Mission has demonstrated deep space laser communications across 19 million miles of space, validating the efficacy of tight-beaming technologies over vast distances. Bench-testing conducted by NASA MSFC in 2024 demonstrated receiving beamed power using Ascent’s commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products as a preceding validation of the technology prior to the CAN award.

The CAN is evaluating the ability of Ascent’s CIGS PV modules to generate power while illuminated by energy-dense beams of light, with goals to convert more usable power from the equivalent of tens of Earth’s Sun. The ability to remotely receive 10x more power on-demand while using the same PV cells tasked with collecting sunlight can significantly reduce solar array mass and volume required to meet mission power needs. In practice, this suggests that beamed-power architectures can lead to reductions of both spacecraft mass and volume budgets. These size efficiencies will result in agency payloads proportionally increasing relative to the spacecraft as a whole, thus allowing the prioritization of more technology, science and exploration within limited mission budgets.

Planetary missions require advanced surface mobility logistics and depend on power generation subsystems that comprise a substantial proportion of the landed downmass. It is here where Ascent technology poses a potential solution for reducing spacecraft power system mass and volume needs, creating a significant impact on the overall mission.

The CAN’s goals include increasing the array power output while lengthening the operational duty cycles to verify that improvements to this emerging technology can help enable NASA to effectively and efficiently achieve the agency’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS) missions, Artemis campaign to the Moon, and planetary science objectives. This includes enabling surviving the lunar night as well as powering remote access to areas of scientific interest such as cold traps and permanently shadowed regions on the Moon (PSRs) where water, the potential key to lunar in-situ resource utilization (ISRU), is believed to be located in high concentrations. Ultimately, this could lead to an order of magnitude reduction in the downmass required to access expensive space exploration and science mission destinations. The going rate for robotic landers on the Moon is between 6 & 7-figures per kilogram delivered to the lunar surface, equating to upwards of tens of millions of potential savings per lander mission.

“This collaboration with NASA further bolsters our longstanding belief that the unique capabilities of thin-film solar technology will play an integral role in overcoming the challenges of reliably converting solar energy and also receive beamed power in a breadth of harsh space environments,” said Paul Warley, CEO of Ascent Solar Technologies. “Through our work together, we plan to bring an even more capable product line to market that will reduce mission costs and complexities while improving PV efficiency, making our technology a crucial piece of future space missions.”

This cross-NASA-center teaming is demonstrative of rallying together with commercial partners to achieve the agency’s broader Lunar program goals. Beamed power stands to allow NASA program dollars to accomplish more at a fraction of the cost. With 55 countries having signed the Artemis Accords since 2020, the establishment of critical Lunar infrastructure with less resources required facilitates achieving more together with international partners.

MIL-OSI: Hyperscale Data Highlights AI Infrastructure Growth and Corporate Transition in Stockholder Letter

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

LAS VEGAS, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today issued the following letter to its stockholders from its Founder and Executive Chairman, Milton “Todd” Ault III.

Dear Stockholders,

As the Founder and Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data, I want to share important updates on our strategic direction and the substantial opportunities we believe lie ahead.

Undervalued Opportunity in a Booming Sector

Recent market activity highlights the substantial value potential of our Michigan data center facility (the “Michigan Facility”). We have seen recent transactions, such as Applied Digital Corporation (“Applied”) securing a long-term hosting contract with CoreWeave which is expected to generate over $7 billion in aggregate revenue for Applied over 15 years based on the delivery of 250 megawatts (“MW”) of critical power infrastructure over 15 years for artificial intelligence (“AI”) and high-performance computing (“HPC”) services.

We are actively pursuing similar hosting agreements and believe our Michigan Facility would be highly attractive to top tier hyperscale tenants seeking long-term leases if we meet our objective of scaling our Michigan Facility to 340 MW of power, as discussed below. Our discussions have included well-capitalized companies in the industry, and we are confident in our ability to secure strategic partnerships that could deliver meaningful revenue growth over the next 8 to 12 years.

We believe our 617,000-square-foot Michigan Facility, which we are targeting to scale up to 340 MW of power, represents a highly strategic and significantly undervalued asset for supporting large-scale AI and HPC workloads.

In February 2025, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”), reached an agreement in principle with its primary local utility to expand available power from approximately 30 MW to 300 MW. Completion of this upgrade is expected to take approximately 44 months from the execution of a formal letter of authorization, which is currently under negotiation.

Additionally, ACS has reached an agreement in principle with the local natural gas utility to supply an extra 40 MW of power. This portion of the project is expected to be completed within 18 months of executing definitive agreements. In total, these upgrades would expand the facility’s capacity to approximately 340 MW, positioning Hyperscale Data to serve as a major AI and HPC infrastructure hub.

Strategic Separation and Leadership Transition

We intend to complete our previously announced separation from Ault Capital Group, Inc. (“ACG”) by year-end 2025. After the separation, Hyperscale Data will operate as a standalone, publicly traded infrastructure company focused on delivering AI and digital asset compute solutions.

Following the separation of ACG, I will step away from Hyperscale Data to focus almost exclusively on leading ACG and its growing portfolio of businesses, which include private credit, AI software, social gaming, equipment rental, aerospace and defense, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma, and hospitality operations.

Upon my departure, William Horne, our Chief Executive Officer, is expected to continue in his current role and assume the position of Chairman of the Board. Mr. Horne has been instrumental in driving our operational progress and strategic vision, and I am confident in his leadership as Hyperscale Data enters its next chapter.

Bridging the Valuation Gap

We believe the market significantly undervalues our business, particularly given the transformative potential of our Michigan Facility. As our strategy advances and the AI infrastructure market continues to evolve, we expect the gap between our intrinsic value and current market capitalization to narrow, creating meaningful long-term value for our stockholders.

That said, our strategy is not without risk. Successful execution will require considerable capital investment and the ability to secure long-term partnerships with leading technology firms. Completion of the power upgrades is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, one or more which could result in the project being curtailed, delayed or terminated, including, but not limited to: failure to agree upon terms and execute definitive agreements; the inability of the Company or ACS to raise sufficient funds to pay for the power upgrades and other expenditures; failure to obtain regulatory consents and approvals; the inability to obtain sufficient easements, rights-of-way and land rights necessary to the work to be performed, and other presently unforeseen events or conditions.

In Closing

Thank you for your continued support and confidence in our vision. We remain committed to delivering long-term value through strategic execution and disciplined investment in next-generation infrastructure.

Sincerely,

Milton “Todd” Ault III
Founder and Executive Chairman
Hyperscale Data, Inc.

About Hyperscale Data, Inc.

Through its wholly owned subsidiary Sentinum, Inc., Hyperscale Data owns and operates a data center at which it mines digital assets and offers colocation and hosting services for the emerging AI ecosystems and other industries. Hyperscale Data’s other wholly owned subsidiary, ACG, is a diversified holding company pursuing growth by acquiring undervalued businesses and disruptive technologies with a global impact.

Hyperscale Data expects to divest itself of ACG on or about December 31, 2025 (the “Divestiture”). Upon the occurrence of the Divestiture, the Company would solely be an owner and operator of data centers to support HPC services, though it may at that time continue to operate in the digital asset space as described in the Company’s filings with the SEC. Until the Divestiture occurs, the Company will continue to provide, through ACG and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries and strategic investments, mission-critical products that support a diverse range of industries, including an AI software platform, social gaming platform, equipment rental services, defense/aerospace, industrial, automotive, medical/biopharma and hotel operations. In addition, ACG is actively engaged in private credit and structured finance through a licensed lending subsidiary. Hyperscale Data’s headquarters are located at 11411 Southern Highlands Parkway, Suite 190, Las Vegas, NV 89141.

On December 23, 2024, the Company issued one million (1,000,000) shares of a newly designated Series F Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”) to all common stockholders and holders of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. The Divestiture will occur through the voluntary exchange of the Series F Preferred Stock for shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock of ACG (collectively, the “ACG Shares”). The Company reminds its stockholders that only those holders of the Series F Preferred Stock who agree to surrender such shares, and do not properly withdraw such surrender, in the exchange offer through which the Divestiture will occur, will be entitled to receive the ACG Shares and consequently be stockholders of ACG upon the occurrence of the Divestiture.

MIL-OSI: Half of Enterprise Windows Endpoints Have Not Yet Migrated to Windows 11, According to ControlUp Study

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ControlUp, a global leader in Digital Employee Experience (DEX) management tools, today announced new findings from its Windows 11 Readiness report, revealing that 50% of enterprise Windows endpoints have yet to complete their migration to Windows 11. This marks a significant improvement from last year’s data, when over 82% of enterprise devices were not running Windows 11. With just under four months remaining until Microsoft officially ends support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, the data highlights both encouraging progress and critical gaps in enterprise readiness across industries, geographies, and organization sizes.

“While the 50% completion mark is a major milestone, it’s not time to relax,” said Marcel Calef, Americas Field CTO, ControlUp. “With Windows 10 end of support just months away, organizations need to act now to avoid being caught off guard. Our data shows that the rate of migration is uneven, and many enterprises still face significant hardware and planning challenges.”

Industry Disparities Highlight Readiness Gaps

ControlUp’s analysis of over one million enterprise endpoints shows that Education and Technology sectors are leading the migration, with 77% and 73% of their devices already running Windows 11, respectively. In contrast, Healthcare (41%) and Finance (45%) are falling behind. A deeper look reveals that 19% of Healthcare endpoints need to be replaced entirely before they can support Windows 11, compared to just 3% in Finance.

Americas Trail Behind Europe and Other Regions

By region, the Americas are furthest behind, with only 43% of enterprise endpoints upgraded to Windows 11, even though 87% of those devices are Windows 11 ready. Europe leads all regions at 70% completion, followed by other global regions at 66%. These regional differences could impact multinational organizations’ ability to maintain consistency and security across their environments.

Larger Enterprises Facing the Greatest Hurdles

ControlUp’s data also reveals that very large organizations (with over 10K Windows devices) are the least prepared for the end of Windows 10 support, with just 42% of migrations completed. These organizations often have complex IT environments and a higher volume of legacy hardware, making early assessments and planning essential.

“ControlUp’s Windows 11 readiness assessment tool helps IT teams instantly evaluate endpoint compatibility, identify upgrade opportunities, and flag devices needing replacement, all from a single dashboard,” Calef added.

The Windows 11 Readiness report, available through ControlUp’s Windows 11 Readiness Assessment tool, is built into the ControlUp for Desktops solution—designed to improve the digital employee experience across physical and cloud-based endpoint devices.

ControlUp’s findings are based on a sample set of more than one million enterprise Windows endpoint devices under management as of June 2025. Additional insights can be found here.

About ControlUp

ControlUp is a leader in DEX, unifying Digital Employee Experience and IT operations in one powerful platform built for modern workplace management. By combining real-time monitoring, intelligent insights, and proactive remediation, ControlUp accelerates the shift toward Autonomous Endpoint Management (AEM)—empowering IT teams to resolve issues before they affect employees, simplify operations, and manage complexity without the clutter of multiple tools. Nearly 2,000 organizations, including more than one-third of the Fortune 100, trust ControlUp to keep their technology running smoothly.

Based on supervisory findings of contravention of statutory provisions and related correspondence in that regard, a notice was issued to the bank advising it to show cause as to why penalty should not be imposed on it for its failure to comply with the said provisions. After considering the bank’s reply to the notice and oral submissions made during the personal hearing, RBI found, inter alia, that the following charge against the bank was sustained, warranting imposition of monetary penalty:

The bank had sanctioned loans to its directors.

This action is based on deficiencies in statutory compliance and is not intended to pronounce upon the validity of any transaction or agreement entered into by the bank with its customers. Further, imposition of this monetary penalty is without prejudice to any other action that may be initiated by RBI against the bank.

MIL-OSI: NordVPN remains the only VPN with certified phishing protection
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

LONDON, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The cybersecurity feature Threat Protection Pro™, included in the leading VPN application NordVPN, has once again been recognized as one of the top tools for detecting phishing websites in an independent test conducted by AV-Comparatives.

“Phishing websites are one of the biggest threats to internet users worldwide. They steal personal data, login credentials, and financial information from unsuspecting users before redirecting them or disappearing entirely. We put our greatest effort into protecting our customers from the consequences caused by these sites,” says Domininkas Virbickas, product director at Threat Protection.

AV-Comparatives, an independent testing lab, conducted an extensive test between May 15-28, 2025, to evaluate the effectiveness of various cybersecurity products in detecting and blocking phishing websites. The company certified 10 solutions against 228 phishing URLs and 200 clean ones to see how well they could protect users. NordVPN’s Threat Protection Pro™ detected 90% of phishing websites.

Last year, NordVPN became the first VPN service provider to be approved by AV-Comparatives for anti-phishing protection, and this year we got tested again to remain the only VPN provider with such certification.

To be approved by AV-Comparatives for Anti-Phishing Protection, at least 85% of the phishing URLs used must be detected and blocked, without causing any false alarms with legitimate online banking and related sites.

How to recognize phishing websites and protect yourself

While Threat Protection Pro™ is a powerful safeguard, phishing attacks are always evolving. Practicing good cyber hygiene is just as important.

Here are a few simple tips to stay safe online:
- Verify the URL. Always check the URL in your browser’s address bar. Look for variations in the domain name that might indicate it’s a fake site. Did it send you to a subpage, even though you should be on the homepage? Does it have a suspicious prefix?
- Read the text carefully. If you have even the slightest suspicion, go over the email or message once more. Was it unsolicited? Is it urging you to do something, trying to induce panic? Does it have any typos or other mistakes?
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA). 2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring an additional authentication step, like a one-time code sent to your phone, before you can log in. Even if a hacker gets your password, they won’t be able to access your account without this second factor.
- Check the website’s protocol. Ensure that the website you’re on uses the HTTPS protocol. Legitimate websites prioritize security and will have a padlock icon in the address bar, but a website with a spoofed URL might only use HTTP.
NordVPN’s Threat Protection Pro™ is available with every subscription, helping users browse more securely every day.

ABOUT NORDVPN

NordVPN is the world’s most advanced VPN service provider, chosen by millions of internet users worldwide. One of NordVPN’s key features is Threat Protection Pro™, a tool that blocks malicious websites, trackers, and ads and scans downloads for malware. For more information, visit https://nordvpn.com.

MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Belt-Road commissioner promotes HK

Source: Hong Kong Information Services

Commissioner for Belt & Road Nicholas Ho this week led a delegation to Indonesia and Malaysia to promote Hong Kong’s professional services in the fields of infrastructure and construction and to explore opportunities for co-operation.

The delegates visited Jakarta, Indonesia on Monday and Tuesday, then proceeded to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, yesterday and today. They met government officials, business leaders and representatives of professional organisations and enterprises in both places. The trip concluded today.

Mr Ho and his delegation visited the Daya Anagata Nusantara Investment Management Agency and the Investment Coordinating Board in Indonesia, as well as the Public Private Partnership Unit of the Prime Minister’s Department and the Malaysian Investment Development Authority in Malaysia, to learn about economic and infrastructural developments in the two places.

While in Malaysia, they also met the country’s Minister of Transport Loke Siew Fook to learn about the planning and development of Malaysia’s transportation system, with a view to exploring opportunities for Hong Kong’s professional services to participate and contribute.

In addition, they attended presentations on signature projects in both countries, directly connecting with representatives of local enterprises to explore opportunities for investment and co-operation.

They also attended business lunch events to promote Hong Kong’s business advantages to local business leaders.

During the visits, Hong Kong representatives signed 21 Memoranda of Understanding with partners in Indonesia and Malaysia, covering such areas as business collaboration and professional services exchanges.

While in Jakarta, Mr Ho also visited a data centre, an investment development project led by a Hong Kong company, and heard about the centre’s contribution to the development of the Digital Silk Road.

Mr Ho highlighted that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations is Hong Kong’s second-largest trading partner and a key link in the Belt & Road Initiative.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan attended the 10th Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) in Beijing today. He also held separate meetings with Minister of Finance Lan Fo’an and AIIB President Jin Liqun.

Mr Chan participated in the opening ceremony of the annual meeting and joined the subsequent Governors’ Official Session.

During the meeting, he witnessed the signing of a strategic partnership agreement between the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the AIIB. Under the partnership agreement, the HKMA will collaborate closely with the AIIB to support venture capital in emerging Asia to jointly support the emerging economies in the region to drive green transformation and development of infrastructure through scientific and commercial innovation.

Speaking about the agreement, Mr Chan said that this collaboration combines and leverages the knowledge, experience, networks and strengths of the HKMA and the AIIB.

He said: “It supports emerging Asian economies in accelerating their development towards more prosperous and inclusive growth through innovation and technology. Additionally, it aids in building a more vibrant venture capital and innovation ecosystem within the region and further reinforces Hong Kong’s status as an international financial, innovation and technology centre.”

Mr Chan later met AIIB President Jin Liqun. He expressed Hong Kong’s willingness to further enhance collaboration with the AIIB amid the ongoing reshaping of the global economic landscape and the development challenges faced by emerging economies.

Such initiatives can include issuing bonds in more currencies and of various tenors, advancing investment co-operation in infrastructure loan securitisation and catastrophe bonds, and mobilising private capital to support Asia’s green and sustainable development projects and relevant technological proposals.

The Financial Secretary also reiterated Hong Kong’s support for the AIIB to establish an office in Hong Kong and said he looks forward to the proposal’s early implementation.

He also called on Minister of Finance Lan Fo’an, where both parties exchanged in-depth views on the economic and social development of the Mainland and Hong Kong.

Mr Chan highlighted that the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government will continue to fully support the issuance of renminbi (RMB) sovereign bonds in Hong Kong. Efforts will also be made to enrich investment products and risk management tools, enhance RMB liquidity, and improve financial infrastructure to build a more prosperous offshore RMB business ecosystem.

MIL-OSI: Mattr Corp. Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

TORONTO, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mattr Corp. (“Mattr” or the “Company”) (TSX: MATR), today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has approved the Company’s notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB”) for common shares of the Company (the “Common Shares”).

Pursuant to the NCIB, the Company may purchase for cancellation up to 4,991,584 Common Shares, representing approximately 10% of the Company’s public float as at June 16, 2025. As at June 16, 2025, the Company had 61,649,707 Common Shares issued and outstanding. The NCIB will commence on June 30, 2025 and terminate one year after its commencement, or earlier if the maximum is reached or the NCIB is terminated at the option of the Company. The Company believes that using the NCIB to return capital to its shareholders will increase shareholder value and further the returns of the Company.

All purchases pursuant to the NCIB will be made through the facilities of the TSX, or such other permitted means (including through alternative trading systems in Canada, including NEO-N, NEO-L, NEO-D, Crossing Facility, CSE, ICX, Liquidnet, CXC, CX2, CXD, Omega ATS, Lynx ATS, TSX Venture Exchange, TSX Alpha Exchange and MATCH Now (together, the “Other Exchanges”)), at prevailing market prices or as otherwise permitted. The NCIB will be funded using existing cash resources and any Common Shares repurchased by the Company under the NCIB will be cancelled. Other than purchases made under a block purchase exemption pursuant to the rules and policies of the TSX, daily purchases on the TSX pursuant to the NCIB will be limited to 68,375 Common Shares, which represents approximately 25% of the average daily trading volume of 273,500 Common Shares of the Company for the most recently completed six calendar months preceding May 31, 2025.

The actual number of Common Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the NCIB and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by the Company, subject to applicable law and the rules of the TSX and/or the rules of the Other Exchanges, if eligible, to the extent made through such facilities.

In connection with the NCIB, the Company has entered into an automatic share purchase plan (the “Plan”) with a designated broker (the “Broker”) in order to facilitate repurchases of its outstanding Common Shares under the NCIB. The Plan has been approved by the TSX and will be implemented effective as of June 30, 2025.

Under the Plan, the Broker may purchase Common Shares under the NCIB at times when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to, due to its self-imposed regular quarterly black-out periods or special black-out periods. Before the commencement of any particular internal trading black-out period, the Company may, but is not required to, instruct the Broker to make purchases of Common Shares under the NCIB during the ensuing black-out period in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Such purchases will be determined by the Broker based on parameters established by the Company prior to commencement of the applicable black-out period in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable TSX rules and/or the rules of the Other Exchanges, if eligible, to the extent made through such facilities. Outside of these black-out periods, Common Shares will continue to be purchasable by the Company and the Broker at the Company’s discretion under the NCIB.

Under the Company’s previous NCIB commencing June 28, 2024, the Company purchased for cancellation a total of 4,982,824 Common Shares, being the maximum number of Common Shares it was authorized to repurchase, through the facilities of the TSX or by such other permitted means, for an aggregate repurchase price of approximately $65,163,948.95 and at a volume weighted average purchase price of $13.07 per Common Share. The previous NCIB terminated on June 4, 2025, the date the maximum purchase limit had been reached.

MIL-OSI Africa: Kaspersky: ChatGPT-mimicking cyberthreats surge 115% in early 2025, Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs) increasingly targeted
In 2025, nearly 8,500 users from small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) globally faced cyberattacks where malicious or unwanted software was disguised as popular online productivity tools, Kaspersky reports (www.Kaspersky.co.za). Based on the unique malicious and unwanted files observed, the most common lures included Zoom and Microsoft Office, with newer AI-based services like ChatGPT and DeepSeek being increasingly exploited by attackers. Kaspersky has released threat analysis and mitigation strategies to help SMBs respond.

Kaspersky analysts explored how frequently malicious and unwanted software are disguised as legitimate applications commonly used by SMBs, using a sample of 12 online productivity apps. In total, Kaspersky observed more than 4,000 unique malicious and unwanted files disguised as popular apps in 2025. With the growing popularity of AI services, cybercriminals are increasingly disguising malware as AI tools. The number of cyberthreats mimicking ChatGPT increased by 115% in the first four months of 2025 compared to the same period last year, reaching 177 unique malicious and unwanted files. Another popular AI tool, DeepSeek, accounted for 83 files. This large language model launched in 2025 immediately appeared on the list of impersonated tools.

“Interestingly, threat actors are rather picky in choosing an AI tool as bait. For example, no malicious files mimicking Perplexity were observed. The likelihood that an attacker will use a tool as a disguise for malware or other types of unwanted software directly depends on the service’s popularity and hype around it. The more publicity and conversation there is around a tool, the more likely a user will come across a fake package on the Internet. To be on the safe side, SMB employees – as well as regular users – should exercise caution when looking for software on the Internet or coming across too-good-to-be-true subscription deals. Always check the correct spelling of the website and links in suspicious emails. In many cases these links may turn out to be phishing or a link that downloads malicious or potentially unwanted software,” says Vasily Kolesnikov, security expert at Kaspersky.

Another cybercriminal tactic to look for in 2025 is the growing use of collaboration platform brands to trick users into downloading or launching malware. The number of malicious and unwanted software files disguised as Zoom increased by nearly 13% in 2025, reaching 1,652, while such names as “Microsoft Teams” and “Google Drive” saw increases of 100% and 12%, respectively, with 206 and 132 cases. This pattern likely reflects the normalisation of remote work and geographically distributed teams, which has made these platforms integral to business operations across industries.

Among the analysed sample, the highest number of files mimicked Zoom, accounting for nearly 41% of all unique files detected. Microsoft Office applications remained frequent targets for impersonation: Outlook and PowerPoint each accounted for 16%, Excel for nearly 12%, while Word and Teams made up 9% and 5%, respectively.

The top threats targeting small and medium businesses in 2025 included downloaders, trojans and adware.

Phishing and spam

Apart from malware threats, Kaspersky continues to observe a wide range of phishing and scam schemes targeting SMBs. Attackers aim to steal login credentials for various services — from delivery platforms to banking systems — or manipulate victims into sending them money through deceptive tactics. One example is a phishing attempt targeting Google Accounts. Attackers promise potential victims to increase sales by advertising their company on X, with the ultimate goal being to steal their credentials.

Beyond phishing, SMBs are flooded with spam emails. Not surprisingly, AI has also made its way into the spam folder — for example, with offers for automating various business processes.

In general, Kaspersky observes phishing and spam offers crafted to reflect the typical needs of small businesses, promising attractive deals on email marketing or loans, offering services such as reputation management, content creation, or lead generation, and more.

Learn more about the cyber threat landscape for SMBs on Securelist (https://apo-opa.co/3I0itLw). To mitigate threats targeting businesses, their owners and employees are advised to implement the following measures:
- Use specialised cybersecurity solutions that provide visibility and control over cloud services (e.g., Kaspersky Next (https://apo-opa.co/4nzvzQm)).
- Define access rules for corporate resources such as email accounts, shared folders, and online documents.
- Regularly backup important data.
- Establish clear guidelines for using external services. Create well-defined procedures for implementing new software with the involvement of IT and other responsible managers.

MIL-OSI: Petrus Resources Announces Renewal of Normal Course Issuer Bid

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

CALGARY, Alberta, June 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Petrus Resources Ltd. (“Petrus“) (TSX: PRQ) is pleased to announce that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX“) has accepted Petrus’ notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “NCIB“). The NCIB allows Petrus to purchase up to 6,448,237 common shares (representing 5% of Petrus’ outstanding common shares as of June 18, 2025) over a period of twelve months commencing on June 30, 2025. On June 18, 2025, Petrus had 128,964,754 common shares outstanding. The NCIB will expire no later than June 29, 2026.

Under the NCIB, common shares may be repurchased on the open market through the facilities of the TSX and/or alternative Canadian trading systems and in accordance with the rules of the TSX governing normal course issuer bids. The total number of common shares Petrus is permitted to purchase through the facilities of the TSX is subject to a daily purchase limit of 9,751 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of 39,004 common shares on the TSX calculated for the six-month period ended May 31, 2025. However, Petrus may make one block purchase per calendar week which exceeds such daily repurchase restrictions. Any common shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Petrus believes that, at times, the prevailing share price does not reflect the underlying value of the common shares and the repurchase of its common shares for cancellation represents an attractive opportunity to enhance Petrus’ per share metrics and thereby increase the underlying value of Petrus’ common shares to its shareholders.

In connection with the NCIB, Petrus has established an automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP”) with a designated broker. The ASPP is designed to aid in the repurchasing of common shares during periods under the NCIB when Petrus would typically be restricted from making purchases due to regulatory constraints or customary self-imposed blackout periods. Prior to the onset of any specific trading blackout period, Petrus may, at its discretion, instruct its designated broker to acquire common shares under the NCIB during the subsequent blackout period in line with the terms of the ASPP. Such acquisitions will be determined by the designated broker independently, based on purchasing criteria set by Petrus in compliance with TSX regulations, relevant securities laws, and the terms of the ASPP. The ASPP has been pre-cleared by the TSX. Outside of predefined blackout periods, common shares may be bought under the NCIB at the discretion of management, in accordance with TSX regulations and applicable securities laws.

As of June 18, 2025, under Petrus’ current NCIB that runs from June 28, 2024 to June 27, 2025 and pursuant to which Petrus may repurchase up to 6,218,596 common shares, Petrus has not repurchased any common shares.

MIL-OSI Africa: R11 billion assets linked to State Capture Commission recovered

Source: South Africa News Agency

Thursday, June 26, 2025

As government continues to implement the President’s response to the recommendations of the State Capture Commission report, the asset recovery linked to the commission has increased from R2.9 billion in October 2022 to R11 billion by March 2025.

This was revealed by Minister in The Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, on Thursday, during a media briefing in Cape Town, on the outcomes of a Cabinet meeting that was held on Wednesday.

“Cabinet was briefed about substantial progress made in the implementation of the recommendations of the State Capture Commission. Major reforms include the enactment of eight new laws addressing corruption, procurement, intelligence services, and corporate accountability,” the Minister said.

The criminal investigations and prosecutions work has resulted in the conclusion of four state capture commission cases with guilty verdicts.

Eleven other cases involving 51 natural persons and 27 companies have been enrolled in court.

“The erstwhile Department of Public Enterprises referred 71 former State-Owned Enterprise (SOE) directors to the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) for delinquency proceedings resulting in nine active court cases.

“The CIPC has completed reviews for 10 private sector entities implicated in the State Capture Report, with six investigations ongoing and eight new Special Investigating Unit (SIU) referrals under assessment,” Ntshavheni said.

The National Treasury has imposed a 10 year (2022-2032) ban on Bain & Co on doing business with the state, which Bain is challenging in court.

Various reforms to prevent future state capture are underway while some have been implemented. Amongst those are:
• The establishment of the Investigating Directorate Against Corruption which commenced its operations on 19 August 2024.
• The National Framework towards the Implementation of Professionalisation of the Public Sector was approved by Cabinet in October 2022 and the National Anti-corruption Advisory Council has concluded research into the institutional reform recommendations of the State Capture Commission. – SAnews.gov.za

MIL-OSI Africa: World Bank loan ‘aligned with National Treasury’s principles’

Source: South Africa News Agency

The recently announced US$1.5 billion Development Policy Loan Agreement signed between the South African government and the World Bank will be used to unlock infrastructure bottlenecks in South Africa.

This according to Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni who held a post-Cabinet media briefing in Cape Town on Thursday.

National Treasury announced the loan agreement in a statement on Monday.

“Cabinet was updated on the US$1.5 billion Development Policy Loan Agreement signed between the South African government and the World Bank that will be used to ensure inclusive economic growth and job creation.

“The loan is aligned with the National Treasury’s principles that forms part of the government’s broader efforts to implement structural reforms and will be used to unlock key infrastructure bottlenecks, particularly in the energy and freight transport sectors.

“The loan support is anchored on three pillars of structural reforms: improving energy security, enhancing the efficiency and competitiveness of freight transport services and supporting South Africa’s transition toward a low carbon economy, which are the backbone of government’s priority of inclusive growth and job creation,” she said.

Turning to the South African Renewable Energy Masterplan (SAREM), Cabinet has welcomed its launch.

The masterplan was launched earlier this month and is aimed at driving localised manufacturing, skills development and job creation.

“SAREM which was approved by Cabinet in March this year, aims to support the local demand for renewable energy and drive industrial development while ensuring a just energy transition,” Ntshavheni noted.

Foot and mouth disease vaccines

Cabinet has also welcomed the arrival of “much-needed vaccines, sourced from Botswana, to combat the foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in certain parts of the country”.

“The vaccines are being distributed and administered free of charge to the affected areas, especially in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and those farms in other provinces where the disease has been identified.

“A second batch of vaccines is on order with the Botswana Vaccine Institute,” Ntshavheni said. – SAnews.gov.za

Press release

SFO cracks down on corruption through international alliance

UK Serious Fraud Office joins global anti-corruption alliance to combat cross-border corruption.
Serious Fraud Office joins International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre to strengthen the fight against cross-border corruption

Move follows creation of pioneering tri-national taskforce with France and Switzerland

Enhanced intelligence gathering will target companies and individuals involved in overseas corruption involving politically exposed persons

The Serious Fraud Office has today expanded its global reach by joining the International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre (IACCC), strengthening the UK’s ability to tackle grand corruption and illicit finance across borders.

This strategic alliance builds on the SFO’s recent establishment of a taskforce with French and Swiss authorities to tackle international bribery and corruption.

Based within the National Crime Agency, the IACCC brings together specialist law enforcement officers from agencies around the world to tackle allegations of grand corruption that span multiple jurisdictions.

Organisations with a proven intention to fight domestic and international corruption can be considered for membership, with the SFO gaining enhanced access to key partners in the fight against grand corruption involving politically exposed persons.

The partnership will boost the SFO’s capacity to gather intelligence and evidence on companies and individuals suspected of corruption overseas while maintaining full control over its investigations.

Nick Ephgrave QPM, Director at the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), said:

This is another step forward for the SFO and further demonstration of our determination to use every power and partnership we can to confront the threat of bribery and corruption.

This membership will bring us closer to global law enforcement and strengthen our intelligence gathering capabilities on those companies and individuals engaged in international bribery and corruption.

The SFO recently issued new guidance to companies on their responsibilities to report suspected criminality.

Rob Jones, Director General of Operations at the NCA, said:

We welcome the SFO’s membership of the International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre. Their membership will assist the collective effort of supporting overseas partners with hugely important investigations into grand corruption.

Since its launch in 2017 the IACCC has helped identify over £1.8 billion of suspected stolen assets, supported the freezing of nearly half of those assets in various global jurisdictions, and helped with the arrest and charging of a significant number of suspects involved in high profile investigations in over 40 separate countries.

In a move aimed at promoting good governance and ensuring fair recruitment practices, the Department of Financial Services under the Ministry of Finance has notified the voluntary use of Aadhaar authentication by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) for candidate verification during examinations and recruitment processes.

As per the notification published in the Gazette of India, IBPS—designated as a ‘Public Examination Authority’ under the Public Examination (Prevention of Unfair Means) Act, 2024—has been authorised to use Aadhaar-based authentication (Yes/No and e-KYC) on a voluntary basis. The approval has been granted under Rule 5 of the Aadhaar Authentication for Good Governance Rules, 2020, in accordance with the Aadhaar Act, 2016.

This initiative, approved by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) after consultation with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), is expected to enhance the integrity of examinations by preventing impersonation and other malpractices.

Officials stated that the measure would streamline identity verification, reduce administrative burden, and ensure a transparent and efficient recruitment process, particularly in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector. It also aims to protect genuine candidates from fraudulent activities and boost public trust in the examination system.
