  • MIL-OSI: Change of Name

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    If you are in any doubt about the course of action to take, you should consult your stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant or other professional advisor.

    If you have sold or transferred all your shares in WisdomTree Issuer ICAV please forward this document to the purchaser or transferee, or to the stockbroker, bank manager or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected.

    10 April 2025

    Dear Shareholder

    WisdomTree Issuer ICAV (the “ICAV”)
    Change of Fund Names and Index Methodology

    The directors of the ICAV (the “Board of Directors”) wish to advise you of a proposed changes to certain sub-funds of the ICAV (the “Funds”) to meet the requirements of EMSA’s guidelines on funds’ names using ESG or sustainability-related terms (the “Guidelines”). The Guidelines are intended to enhance investor protection where funds have names that suggest they meet certain sustainability standards. The Guidlines will apply to the Funds with effect from 21 May 2025.

    A.      The Guidelines requirements for funds’ names.

    For “environmental” related-terms to be used in a fund name, the strategy of the fund must (i) meet an 80% threshold linked to the proportion of investments used to meet the environmental and social characteristics of the fund; and (ii) incorporate the exclusionary criteria for Paris-aligned Benchmarks detailed in Article 12(1)(a) – (g) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1818 (the “PAB Exclusions”).

    For “transition” to be used in a fund name, in addition to (i) and (ii) above funds must ensure that the investments used to meet the threshold in (i) are on a are on a clear and measurable path to social or environmental transition or are made with the objective to generate a positive and measurable social or environmental impact alongside a financial return.

    For “sustainability-related” terms to be used in a fund name it must, in addition to meeting the requirements at (i) and (ii) above, also commit to investing meaningfully (i.e it must invest at least 50% of its assets) in sustainable investments referred to in Article 2(17) of the SFDR (“Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation“).

    B.      Changes to Funds currently using “Transition” and “environmental” terms in their name

    As the below Funds do not not incorporate the PAB exclusions, the Board of Directors have determined it appropriate to rename each Fund (each a “Fund Name Change” and together, the “Fund Name Changes”) to remove “Decarbonisation” and “Energy Transition” where relevant. Accordingly, it is proposed to rename each Fund as follows with effect from 16 April 2025 or such later date as approved by the Central Bank of Ireland (the “Effective Date”).

    Current name New name
    WisdomTree Recycling Decarbonisation UCITS ETF WisdomTree Recycling UCITS ETF        
    WisdomTree Energy Transition Metals and Rare Earths Miners UCITS ETF Wisdomtree Strategic Metals and Rare Earths Miners UCITS ETF

    The Fund Name Changes will be reflected in updated versions of the Supplements for the Funds, as well as the Funds’ KIIDs, PRIIPs KIDs and marketing materials. All other key features of the Funds will remain the same and for the avoidance of doubt, the Funds’ SFDR classifications as Article 8 and investment strategies will be unchanged. Additionally, the amendments will not affect the tracking error between the Funds’ performance and that of their indices.

    WisdomTree, Inc is the index provider in relation to WisdomTree Energy Transition Metals and Rare Earths Miners UCITS ETF. Following consultation, WisdomTree Inc has changed the name of WisdomTree Energy Transition Metals and Rare Earths Miners Index to align with the Fund Name Change described above. The Index name change will take effect on 16 April 2025.

    C.      Index methodology changes

    As “WisdomTree Global Sustainable Equity UCITS ETF” references the term “Sustainability” in its name, the Index used by the Fund has been updated to incorporate the PAB Exclusions (the “Index Methodology Change”). We will be updating the “Index Description” section of the Supplement to reflect these additional exclusions required under the PAB Exclusions which have not resulted in any material change to the Fund. The Index Methodology Change will only cause a change in the underlying components of the Index on its rebalance date, being 16 May 2025. All other key features of the Fund will remain the same and for the avoidance of doubt, the Fund’s SFDR classification as Article 9 will not change and the Fund’s investment strategy and minimum sustainable investment commitment will be unchanged. For more information, please see the updated Index methodology at Solactive Methodology Change | Solactive WisdomTree Global Sustainable Equity UCITS Index

    All capitalised terms used in this notice shall bear the same meaning as the capitalised and defined terms used in the Prospectus.

    Should you have any questions in relation to the above, please do not hesitate to contact WisdomTree UK Limited at Europesupport@wisdomtree.com

    Yours faithfully

    Director

  • MIL-OSI: Surge In Global Defense Budgets Having Significant Impact On The Global Military (UAS) Drone Market

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – The global unmanned aerial system (UAS) military drones market has been rising steadily over the past years and it is projected to continue substantially into the next decade at least. A recent report from one such industry insider said that the surge in global defense budgets has had a significant impact on the global market. As political tensions rise worldwide, nations are investing in cutting-edge unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to bolster their defense and security capabilities. Increased defense expenditure has allowed countries like the United States, China, and other NATO members to allocate substantial funds to advanced drone programs, enhancing surveillance, supporting combat missions, and improving autonomous drone features.  Geopolitical tensions, especially in regions like Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, are driving a significant demand for military drones. As nations seek to strengthen their surveillance, intelligence, and tactical capabilities, military drones have become integral to modern defense strategies.  Active companies in the markets this week include: Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO), Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC), General Dynamics (NYSE: GD), Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ: KTOS), and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT).

    The report continued: “North America, with the United States leading the charge, dominates the military drone market. This leadership is driven by significant investments in advanced military technologies, a strong defense budget, and the presence of key industry players like General Atomics and Northrop Grumman. The U.S. military continues to strengthen its drone capabilities, emphasizing the development of state-of-the-art systems for a range of missions, including surveillance, reconnaissance, and combat operations. Moreover, the country is strategically investing in autonomous systems and artificial intelligence, ensuring its drones remain at the forefront of modern warfare and maintain a technological edge on the global stage… The U.S. military remains the largest operator of drones… These drones play a vital role in a wide range of operations, including reconnaissance, surveillance, combat, and logistics.”

    Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO) (CSE: DPRO) and SafeLane Global Enter into Multi-Year Agreement with Draganfly as the Preferred Global Provider of Landmine Mapping Drones and Aerial Survey Services – First Ukraine Landmine Aerial Survey Contract Underway– Draganfly Inc. (FSE: 3U8A) (“Draganfly” or the “Company”), an industry-leading developer of drone solutions and systems, today announced that it has been selected by SafeLane Global Ltd. (“SafeLane”) as its preferred unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and aerial survey provider.

    SafeLane, a world-renowned specialist in explosive threat mitigation, is one of only two private organizations licensed by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to conduct landmine and explosive ordnance clearance operations in Ukraine. With over 30 years of experience across more than 60 countries, SafeLane supports governments, humanitarian organizations, and commercial clients in the clearance and disposal of landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), and explosive remnants of war (ERW), both on land and underwater.

    Under the agreement, Draganfly will provide advanced drone solutions, including UAVs, specialized sensors, and data analysis services, to support SafeLane’s global mine action initiatives. The collaboration aims to enhance the speed, accuracy, and safety of explosive threat detection and removal operations in high-risk environments.

    “We are honored to be selected as SafeLane’s UAS partner,” said Cameron Chell, President and CEO of Draganfly. “This partnership represents a significant opportunity to leverage Draganfly’s technology to support critical humanitarian and defense efforts. Together, we will work to deliver scalable, innovative solutions for global landmine action.”

    The companies will co-develop joint intellectual property and standard operating procedures tailored for aerial mine detection and clearance. SafeLane will lead proposal submissions and operational deployment, while Draganfly will provide technology, mission planning, piloting, and survey analysis.

    According to the Landmine Monitor 2023, more than 60 million landmines remain buried across over 60 countries, posing a persistent threat to civilians, especially children, who account for nearly half of the casualties. Ukraine is currently one of the most mine-contaminated countries in the world.

    “Draganfly’s drone-based technology will significantly increase the safety and efficiency of our operations,” said Asa Gilbert, Director of Business Development at SafeLane. “This partnership is a critical step in helping communities recover from the legacy of conflict.”

    The collaboration further positions Draganfly as a key player in the defense and humanitarian sectors, supporting efforts to create safer environments in some of the world’s most vulnerable regions.  CONTINUED… Read this full press release and more news for Draganfly at:  https://draganfly.com/news/

  • MIL-OSI: HTX Margin Unveils Strategies for Sustained Success Amidst Crypto Market Volatility

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HTX, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, today announced significant growth in its margin trading platform, demonstrating its effectiveness in navigating the current volatile market conditions. The platform reported a 60% year-over-year increase in trading volume and a 16% increase compared to the previous quarter, with a remarkable 565% year-over-year and 79% quarter-over-quarter surge in margin loan users.

    HTX’s robust margin trading growth stems from key competitive advantages, notably its lower loan interest rates and enhanced flexibility compared to other platforms. For example, its USDT margin loan interest rate stood at 3.99% on April 3, below the market average of 4.38%.

    Crucially, HTX maintained relatively low and stable rates even during periods of significant market volatility, a contrast to competitors whose rates often experienced sharp increases.. This stability not only reduces costs for users but also provides crucial support for maintaining long-term positions.

    Whether you’re quick-scoping for short-term gains or planning your next big move on the charts, HTX’s margin trading tools deliver both flexibility and performance, catering to both short-term trading strategies and long-term investment plans. The platform’s sophisticated risk management system and innovative features are designed to maximize potential gains while effectively mitigating risks

    Technological Advancements Enhance User Experience on HTX

    HTX didn’t just stop at offering solid margin trading but was on a mission to revolutionize the user experience throughout 2024. Key upgrades include:

    • Dynamic Interest Rates (Jan 2024): Borrowing costs that adjust on the fly, based on real-time demand and the usage of collateral.
    • Smart Risk Management (Feb 2024): A brand-new margin feature and a cutting-edge risk engine that uses smart algorithms to keep volatile markets in check.
    • Liquidation in Batches (Mar 2024): An optimized liquidation process where liquidation is automatically paused when your account’s risk ratio reaches 150%, minimizing losses during extreme market conditions.
    • Insurance Fund (May 2024): A safety net that automatically covers losses for positions under 20 USDT, making it safer even for smaller players.

    These developments are all about cutting trading costs, enhancing security, and creating a more user-centric trading environment.

    HTX also boasts the latest upgrade for margin trading – the merging of the auto borrowing and repayment processes into a one-click “Auto” feature. This demonstrates HTX’s keen understanding of user needs and aims to simplify the trading process.

    The revamped trading interface now offers users a clear choice between Manual and Auto modes, reducing complexity and allowing traders to concentrate on their strategies.

    This upgrade is proven to the exchange’s ongoing commitment to improving its margin trading services, focusing on smarter and more convenient trading tools through improvements in both design and functionality.

    Looking Ahead: HTX’s Next Wave of Margin Trading Innovation

    HTX Margin’s evolution from a basic lending service to a comprehensive margin trading powerhouse—complete with high leverage, dynamic rates, phased liquidation, and an insurance fund—has taken just under two years.

    HTX is committed to continuous innovation in this area. In the second quarter of 2025, a comprehensive upgrade to HTX’s margin trading platform is anticipated. This upgrade will introduce the flexibility to seamlessly switch between isolated and cross margin modes, along with advanced tools for intelligent fund allocation and automated risk management.

    Plus, a major overhaul of HTX’s margin trading interface is on the horizon, featuring a new real-time profitability dashboard slated for launch by late Q2 or early Q3. This feature promises to provide a better trading experience and data display, helping you fine-tune strategies and manage your trades like a true crypto veteran.

    In a market where volatility is the new normal, HTX’s margin trading service provides more than just a tool—it offers a strategic advantage. By combining cutting-edge technology with a user-focused approach, HTX is empowering cryptocurrency enthusiasts to not only navigate market uncertainty but to capitalize on opportunities within it.

  • MIL-OSI: E Ink Unveils 75” Spectra™ 6 Display, Setting a New Standard for Vivid and Sustainable Digital Signage

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BILLERICA, Mass., April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — E Ink (8069.TW) the originator, pioneer, and global commercial leader in electronic paper (ePaper) technology, today announced the launch of its largest E Ink Spectra™ 6 form factor to date, a 75” full-color ePaper display module.

    The debut of the Spectra 6 75” follows this year’s launch of the E Ink Kaleido™ 3 75” during ISE, as E Ink continues to prioritize larger formats across its ePaper portfolio. Initial sample modules will be available in Q4 of 2025 to the partners who presented at Touch Taiwan 2025 in collaboration with E Ink.

    “Our new 75” Spectra 6 display marks a significant milestone in E Ink’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, sustainable digital signage,” said Johnson Lee, CEO of E Ink. “By combining a highly saturated, full-color ePaper experience with extreme energy efficiency, we’re giving advertisers, brands and retailers an innovative way to engage customers while reducing their environmental impact. We’re excited to see how partners will harness this technology to transform indoor digital advertising applications.”

    The 75” Spectra 6 modules can be equipped with E Ink Ripple™, the next-generation waveform and algorithm architecture that enables smoother display updates and expands color options. The newest waveform transitions can increase dwell time from customers and engagement for advertisements.

    Applications and use cases include advertisements, information displays and wayfinding signage, as well as corporate and retail branding exhibits. The larger form factor helps drive engagement and enhances communication via vivid color ePaper displays. Key features of E Ink Spectra 6 modules include:

    • Rich, vivid colors for commercial displays
    • Extreme energy efficiency with an operating temperature ranging from 0-50 °C
    • Optimizing space utility by transforming static poster spaces into dynamic displays, enabling effortless and energy-efficient content updates without manual intervention

    By using power only when updating content, E Ink’s ePaper technology is highly energy-efficient and non-emissive—relying on ambient light rather than a constant backlight. This design significantly reduces power consumption and carbon emissions compared to both paper and LCDs. Under its PESG (Product, Environment, Social, and Governance) framework, E Ink delivers low-carbon solutions that accelerate this sustainable transition. According to FTSE Russell, a global index provider, 99.9% of E Ink’s product sales revenue qualifies as green, while Moody’s, a leading credit rating agency, has verified the company’s green loans as compliant with Green Loan Principles. These recognitions underscore E Ink’s strong environmental performance and alignment with international sustainability standards.

(8069.TWO), based on technology from MIT’s Media Lab, provides an ideal display medium for applications spanning eReaders and eNotes, retail, home, hospital, transportation, logistics, and more, enabling customers to put displays in locations previously impossible.

  • MIL-OSI: Amongst Volatility in The Markets, More Organizations Embrace Bitcoin, Adding Cryptocurrency to Their Treasury

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – A growing number of organizations are embracing Bitcoin as a financial asset, adding the cryptocurrency to their Treasury in order to safeguard wealth, as well as capitalize on other benefits. A recent article by industry insiders, Consultancy-me.com, outlines the opportunities that arise from integrating Bitcoin into corporate treasury strategies. It said: “The radical perception of Bitcoin in corporate treasuries is now a strategic reality, fostering a fundamental reassessment of traditional financial management. Well-known examples of companies embracing Bitcoin as a financial reserve include MicroStrategy (which holds over 100,000 Bitcoins), Tesla, Block (formerly Square), Galaxy Digital, energy multinational Aker, and even traditional financial institutions like Fidelity. Other companies worldwide too have made headlines by strategically allocating significant portions of their capital to Bitcoin, solidifying their perception as a crucial hedge against growing global economic uncertainties and an effective store of long-term value. The accelerating adoption of Bitcoin has prompted businesses to seriously consider integrating cryptocurrencies into their core treasury strategies. This approach offers various benefits, such as protecting against inflation, reducing reliance on traditional financial institutions, and increasing liquidity. Companies drawn to Bitcoin viewing the cryptocurrency as a robust store of value capable of mitigating the erosion caused by inflationary trends. By holding Bitcoin, companies also hope to capitalize on its potential for long-term appreciation.” Active companies in news today include: KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE: KULR), MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR), Rumble (NASDAQ: RUM), MARA Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA), Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT).

    The article continued: “Many companies are pioneering advanced treasury management strategies, tactically integrating Bitcoin and stablecoins to achieve optimal financial performance. Integrating Bitcoin into corporate treasuries presents a complex risk-reward scenario. While the potential for diversification and increased liquidity is attractive, the volatility of Bitcoin and the uncertain regulatory landscape necessitate a cautious approach. Added to this are the operational complexities and the need for specialized expertise. Worldwide, the trend of adding Bitcoin to corporate treasuries is still in its early stages, but it is reshaping how businesses approach asset management. With more companies likely to follow the lead of pioneers like MicroStrategy, Bitcoin is becoming an increasingly important part of the corporate finance landscape. However, challenges related to volatility, regulation, and security must be addressed for widespread adoption to occur. If the adoption of Bitcoin by corporate treasuries picks up, its pace will be gradual. Early adopters, such as those in the tech sector, may pave the way, followed by more traditional companies as the infrastructure and regulatory landscape mature.”

    KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) CEO Michael Mo to Speak at Strategy World 2025 – Silver Sponsorship will support AI and Bitcoin focused conference hosted by Strategy – KULR Technology Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “KULR”) ($KULR), a leader in advanced energy management platforms, today announced that CEO and Co-Founder Michael Mo will speak at Strategy World 2025, the premier global conference focusing on AI and BI innovation, as well as the power of Bitcoin treasuries for corporations. KULR is a Silver sponsor of the conference – hosted by Strategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), formerly MicroStrategy – which will be held between May 5th and May 8th in Orlando, Florida.

    KULR is proud to support Strategy, the world’s largest Bitcoin Treasury Company, as they convene industry leaders, data innovators, and transformation-seeking businesses to discuss how two groundbreaking technologies – AI and Bitcoin – can be leveraged within business intelligence to transform individual companies and entire industries. The four-day event will include hands-on workshops, networking opportunities, and cutting-edge content to drive business success in data analytics and corporate strategy.

    In December 2024, KULR announced the launch of its Bitcoin treasury strategy following its Board of Directors’ agreement to include Bitcoin (“BTC”) as a primary asset in the Company’s treasury program. To date, KULR has purchased over 660 BTC – representing over $65 million in value – and has committed to allocating up to 90% of its surplus cash to BTC. By sponsoring Strategy World 2025 at the Silver level, KULR aims to promote discussion around the benefits of a Bitcoin treasury and engage with fellow business leaders who are on a similar path, ultimately furthering industry knowledge and efforts around both Bitcoin and AI.

    Mr. Mo will participate in the “Corporate Bitcoin Success Stories” panel on Tuesday, May 6th starting at 3:20 PM ET to discuss insights and learnings from KULR’s Bitcoin treasury strategy. His presentation will begin at 4:35 PM ET. The panel will include five case studies in which corporate leaders share why they adopted a Bitcoin strategy, how it aligned with their operating models, challenges they faced, and the impact since making the switch. Fellow panelists will include leaders from Semler Scientific, Metaplanet, MARA, and Jetking.

    “Having received insightful advice from Michael Saylor on leveraging Bitcoin as a core asset, we’ve taken steps to position our treasury for long-term growth and stability. This is part of our focus on distributed and decentralized systems, which also includes developing energy management solutions for the AI-enabled world,” said Mr. Mo. “As a Silver sponsor of Strategy World 2025, we’re excited to share our journey with AI and discuss the future of treasury strategies, as Bitcoin increasingly enters the corporate world.”

    KULR recently rebranded their Company website to KULR.ai. This reflects the Company’s integration of AI across its solutions, such as AI-driven software incorporated into battery management systems (BMS). Earlier this year, KULR announced a partnership with EDOM Technology to expand its energy management solutions across the global AI supply chain, ensuring data storage systems in AI-powered infrastructures remain efficient, reliable, and scalable.

    In other developments in the markets of note:

    Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MARA), a global leader in leveraging digital asset compute to support the energy transformation, recently announced that the Company is mining Kaspa (KAS), a proof-of-work (PoW) digital asset, to further diversify its portfolio of digital asset compute.

    Kaspa is currently the fifth largest proof-of-work digital asset by market cap. It boasts a market cap of $3.9 billion with approximately $64.8 million in daily trading volume as of June 25, 2024. The circulating supply is approximately 24 billion KAS with a current block reward of 103.83 KAS, and the terminal supply is capped at 28.7 billion KAS.

    Similar to Bitcoin, Kaspa is an open-source, decentralized, and fully scalable Layer-1 protocol that uses proof-of-work as its consensus mechanism. However, unlike Bitcoin’s blockchain, which is linear and processes one block every ten minutes, Kaspa utilizes a BlockDAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) that enables multiple blocks to be produced simultaneously. The Kaspa network currently processes one block every second, allowing for faster transactions and providing Kaspa miners with the opportunity to potentially earn more block rewards in a given time frame.

    Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT) recently launched www.ABetterBitfarms.com in connection with its requisition of a special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Bitfarms Ltd. (BITF) (“Bitfarms” or the “Company”) to reconstitute the Bitfarms Board of Directors (the “Bitfarms Board”). As disclosed in Riot’s June 24, 2024 press release, Riot has nominated three director nominees (the “Nominees”) – John Delaney, Amy Freedman and Ralph Goehring – for election to the Bitfarms Board at the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will also give Bitfarms shareholders the opportunity to vote on the removal of Bitfarms Chairman Nicolas Bonta and directors Andrés Finkielsztain and Fanny Philip. (Ms. Philip was recently appointed by the Bitfarms Board to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of co-founder Emiliano Grodzki, who was voted off the Bitfarms Board at the Company’s most recent Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders).

    Rumble Inc. (NASDAQ: RUM) recently announced financial results for the fiscal fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.

    Rumble’s Chairman and CEO Chris Pavlovski commented, “While I am pleased with our topline quarterly growth of 48% year over year, I am even more impressed with the third to fourth quarter growth in U.S. and Canada MAUs of 21% to 52 million. This demonstrates how powerful our North America platform is. Rumble cemented its place in the online media eco-system by setting multiple records on the night of the U.S. election. In addition, the fourth quarter included our biggest announcement since going public: a $775 million strategic investment from Tether, the largest company in the digital asset industry and the most widely used dollar stablecoin across the world. Rooted in this investment was the extremely strong commonalities between cryptocurrency and free speech communities, both built on a passion for freedom, transparency and decentralization. As I look ahead, with the Tether transaction now closed, I could not be more excited about the possibilities and the new era we are entering for Rumble.”

    MicroStrategy® Incorporated (NASDAQ: MSTR) recently announced that it has entered into a sales agreement pursuant to which Strategy may issue and sell shares of its 8.00% series A perpetual strike preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “perpetual strike preferred stock”), having an aggregate offering price of up to $21.0 billion (the “ATM Program”). Shares of the perpetual strike preferred stock are convertible by the holders into shares of Strategy’s class A common stock.

    Strategy expects to make sales of perpetual strike preferred stock pursuant to the ATM Program in a disciplined manner over an extended period, taking into account the trading price and trading volumes of the perpetual strike preferred stock at the time of sale. Strategy intends to use the net proceeds from the ATM Program for general corporate purposes, including the acquisition of bitcoin and for working capital.

The acquisition also furthers the Company’s national Drone as a Service, or DaaS, business rollout as the fourth US acquisition.

    “Miller Land Surveying brings a wealth of experience and customer relationships as a second-generation company known across Palm Beach County for quality land surveys and mapping. Their pioneering team is well suited to helping us bring drone innovation to premium residential and business land surveys. This acquisition is another step towards our vision to create a national DaaS business, bringing AI drone efficiencies and precision to a variety of legacy business verticals and manual tasks,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

  • MIL-OSI: Marquette Bank Awarded 12th Consecutive ‘Outstanding’ CRA Rating from Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ORLAND PARK, Ill., April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Marquette Bank, a locally-owned neighborhood bank and the banking subsidiary of Marquette National Corporation (MNAT), was awarded its twelfth consecutive Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) ‘Outstanding’ rating – the highest performance rating – from the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, during its most recent evaluation period.

    “This rating reflects our commitment to making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve,” said Paul McCarthy, Chairman at Marquette Bank. “Marquette Bank is committed to affordable access to financial services, community development and lending in our neighborhoods.”

    The CRA is a federal law that requires banks to meet the credit needs of the communities they serve, especially low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. Banks are rated on their performance in meeting these needs through lending, community investments, and banking services. Marquette Bank has received the highest rating since 2000 making them a leader in community revitalization and placing them among the top 1% of all banks in the nation for CRA performance ratings.

    “Marquette Bank is proud of our comprehensive approach to address the banking and the credit needs of our market,” Manny Jimenez, First Vice President and CRA Officer for Marquette Bank, commented. “We believe in the power of neighborhood oriented financial services and look forward to continuing to work alongside our neighbors, nonprofits, local government and the business community to help create more opportunities for everyone in Chicagoland.”

    Factors contributing to Marquette Bank’s success include: high employee engagement and volunteerism; strong partnerships with local nonprofits and community groups; a focus on affordable housing; its financial education and inclusion efforts; a history of robust community outreach; and balancing financial innovation with friendly, personal service. In a recent survey of 3,832 customers, they were 2x more likely to recommend Marquette Bank to friends and family compared to the banking industry average for that metric.

    “When you bank with Marquette Bank it benefits you and your family, but it is also good for your local neighborhood and Chicagoland,” says Betty Harn, Executive Vice President of Marquette Bank. “The banking you experience is more personal. Many of the families who bank here have banked with us for generations.”

    The bank’s Marquette Neighborhood Commitment initiative has been recognized nationally with the American Bankers Association Foundation Community Commitment Award for Volunteerism and at the state level by the Community Bankers Association of Illinois (CBAI) with their Excellence and Innovation Award.

    Marquette Bank will celebrate its 80th Anniversary on Monday, May 12th with refreshments in the lobby and a special 80th anniversary tote bag for customers. For more information about Marquette Bank: www.emarquettebank.com or call 1-888-254-9500.

  • MIL-OSI: Sky Quarry Enters LOI with Southwind RAS, LLC to Evaluate Strategic Recycling Collaboration

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WOODS CROSS, Utah, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sky Quarry Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYQ) (“Sky Quarry” or “the Company”), an integrated energy solutions company committed to revolutionizing the waste asphalt shingle recycling industry, today announced that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with Southwind RAS, LLC, a long-standing leader in the industry, to explore a strategic collaboration aimed at advancing asphalt shingle recycling in Illinois. The initiative will support Sky Quarry’s national expansion strategy and further its waste-to-energy mission.

    Under the terms of the LOI, Sky Quarry and Southwind RAS will jointly evaluate the technical and logistical feasibility of implementing Sky Quarry’s proprietary recycling technologies at Southwind’s nine established facilities in the greater Chicago area. The collaboration will focus on operational modeling, site assessments, and financial structures, with the goal of developing a scalable, modular approach to shingle recycling that creates mutual value and environmental impact.

    Expanding Sky Quarry’s Waste-to-Energy Footprint

    “We’re excited to explore this relationship with Southwind RAS, a company that shares our deep commitment to sustainability and innovation,” said David Sealock, CEO of Sky Quarry. “This LOI marks a key step forward in Sky Quarry’s national expansion strategy, to intercept waste at the source and convert it into valuable, sustainable materials. By assessing opportunities for regional deployment of our proprietary recycling technology and leveraging Southwind’s infrastructure, experience, and local market presence, we aim to build a scalable model that creates shared value. By scaling locally and executing nationally, Sky Quarry is creating a blueprint for the future of waste-to-energy and materials recovery.”

    With the goal of producing high-value byproducts for local and regional markets, the proposed collaboration at Southwind’s facilities is expected to generate materials such as asphalt-coated limestone, sand, granules, glass fibers, bitumen, and ground asphalt shingles, resources that can be repurposed for use in roofing, road repair, sealants, and structural reinforcement applications.

  • MIL-OSI: Trio acquires producing cash flow positive oil and gas assets in prolific heavy oil region of Saskatchewan Canada

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Bakersfield, CA, April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio” or the “Company”), a California-based oil and gas company, today is pleased to announce that it has closed on certain petroleum and natural gas properties held by Novacor Exploration Ltd. (“Novacor”). More specifically, TPET closed on Novacor’s TWP48 Assets which is expected to be shortly followed by the closing on Novacor’s TWP47 assets. These assets are in the prolific Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region (the “Acquisition”). This acquisition could strategically position the Company to expand its operations into one of North America’s most promising heavy oil basins, with upside potential for long term production and reserve growth. Since the Novacor assets are in the heavy oil area, they offer economic development and low operational costs. Market accessibility combined with a favorable regulatory process makes this area very attractive for continued and future development within these lands.

    As reported by the Company’s press release on December 19, 2024, the Novacor assets are located at the South-West quarter of Section 19, Township 47, Range 26W3M and the Northeast Section 3, Township 48, Range 24W3M, both in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan area. There are currently seven producing wells located on the two properties. Production from the wells in Section 19 is subject to Freehold Royalties of 13.5% and a GORR of 2%, and production from the wells in Section 3 is subject to Freehold Royalties of 15%. The wells produce heavy crude oil from the McLaren/Sparky and Lloydminster formation(s). Novacor is the operator of these cash flow positive wells. Current production is approximately 70 barrels per day with potential for 4 additional re-entry wells and two fully equipped locations to be reactivated each capable of an additional 70 barrels in total per day. All the foregoing information was derived from reports provided to the Company by Novacor.

    Additionally, a Reserve Report was prepared in August 2024 by Petrotech and Associates detailing 91.5MBBL for total proved and probable oil of those wells currently being produced. Novacor has identified further potential upside in the Sparky GP thru some multi-lateral drill opportunities.

    Important in this acquisition is Novacor’s ability to address recent fluctuations in global oil prices and their limited impact on the company’s operations. Novacor will continue as operator of the assets Trio is acquiring. While market volatility is inherent in the energy sector, Novacor’s strategic focus on operational efficiency and low lift costs provides a significant buffer against downward price pressures.

    Novacor’s current lift cost stands at a competitive CDN $10.00 per barrel. This low operational expenditure will help ensure Trio maintains strong profitability even in a lower oil price environment. Their commitment to cost management and efficient production techniques will allow the Company to navigate market fluctuations with greater resilience compared to companies with higher operating costs.

    Commented Robin Ross, Chief Executive Officer of Trio, “Novacor has always prioritized operational excellence and fiscal responsibility as their low lift costs are a testament to this commitment and will provide us with a significant advantage in the current market. While we are mindful of global economic trends and their potential influence on commodity prices, our fundamental strength moving forward will be in our ability to produce oil economically.

     As i mentioned previously, we are excited to acquire an initial footprint in this very lucrative oil and gas area of Canada and home to some of the largest players in the industry such as Cenovus Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Baytex Energy, Rife Resources and many others who have made Heavy Oil a staple of their operation, and where numerous opportunities to acquire additional highly economic fields exist. Trio’s relationship with Novacor is very important, because Novacor has a long history of oil and gas development in the area. Trio’s plan is to aggressively grow its footprint in the area utilizing Novacor as an operator of the assets. We are looking forward to a long and prosperous relationship with Novacor. We will continue to seek opportunities for strategic growth and optimization with Novacor’s operational efficiencies and are confident to deliver consistent value to our shareholders through a disciplined approach to operations and cost management.”

    Mr. Ross continued, “Our focus remains on acquiring projects that generate immediate cash flow or offer transformative growth potential with strategic investment. We believe that this approach aligns with our long-term vision of creating exponential value while managing risk and resources effectively.” 

    Terms of the Acquisition

    The stated purchase price of the Acquisition is US$650,000 in cash paid in two tranches, and 526,536 in shares of common stock of Trio, which we agree to use our commercially reasonable efforts to register for resale in a registration statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company paid Novacor a good faith deposit of $65,000, which is being applied to the cash portion of the purchase price on the initial closing.

  • MIL-OSI: High Wire Networks’ Overwatch Cybersecurity Unit Anticipates Surge in Cyberwarfare Amid Tariff War Escalation

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BATAVIA, Ill., April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — High Wire Networks, Inc. (OTCQB: HWNI), a global leader in managed cybersecurity, anticipates that its Overwatch cybersecurity division will see a sharp rise in cyberwarfare activities as global tariff tensions intensify. The Company believes this geopolitical pressure, particularly between the U.S. and China, will drive increased demand for robust, scalable cybersecurity solutions.

    “The cyberwarfare landscape is constantly changing and evolving, with nation-states focused squarely on U.S. businesses of all sizes,” said Mark Porter, Chairman and CEO of High Wire Networks. “We expect the pace and avenues of attack to accelerate with the ongoing tariff trade war.”

    While High Wire Networks has already anticipated organic growth for 2025, Porter notes that the macro-economic environment may be a catalyst for further upside. “With forecasts and predictions all over the place, when we filter out the noise created by the turmoil and the chaotic market action and look at what is happening with the customers we already protect and defend, and the ones we are talking to about taking over their defense, we see certain trends,” he said.

    Cyber threats tied to global conflicts have become a significant concern for U.S. companies. China, in particular, has been identified as a leading actor in cyber espionage and digital disruption. “As you might already know, China is a global sponsor of cyberwarfare. We already see signs that their efforts to attack the U.S. economy will not be limited to the trade war. Strong indications of amped-up cyber-attacks are already being seen, and we expect more to follow,” Porter continued.

    Cybersecurity remains the top threat to all businesses. In 2024, the average cost of a U.S. data breach reached $9.48 million, the highest globally, according to IBM Security’s Cost of a Data Breach Report. Meanwhile, Verizon’s 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report found that 74% of breaches involved a human element, underscoring the complexity of defending against evolving threats.

    “When you look at some of the more dire short-term predictions of recession and slowing economic growth for U.S. businesses, they can ill afford to drop their defenses,” said Porter. “This may force some to do the same or more, with fewer resources. Outsourcing their defense to Overwatch can not only help businesses accomplish that mission, but a shared services model can be far more effective than going it alone as you eliminate technical and personnel debt and gain the knowledge that can only come from serving thousands of other customers as well.”

    High Wire Networks remains poised to deliver critical cybersecurity capabilities for businesses navigating an increasingly hostile digital environment. Its 100% U.S.-based 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC) is based in Chicago and has more than 1,100 customers across its global network.

  • MIL-OSI: Versatility Of Commercial Drones Performing Growing Number of Tasks is Driving Rapidly Increasing Adoption Rate

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., April 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – Commercial Drones are remotely piloted, optionally piloted, or fully autonomous aerial vehicles that play a significant role in the commercial sectors. They are commonly termed drones and are mostly known for their wide usage in various functions, such as Surveying & Mapping, Inspection & Monitoring among others. These vehicles are also used for mapping, surveying, and determining the weather conditions of a specific area. Drones are being increasingly adopted in industries such as agriculture for crop monitoring, in construction for site inspection, in energy for inspecting power lines among others. The versatility of drones to perform various tasks efficiently is driving their adoption. A report from MarketsAndMarkets said that the Commercial Drone market is projected to grow from USD 5.32 billion in 2024 to USD 9.34 Billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.2% from 2024 to 2030. The report said: “As drone technology advances, regulatory bodies globally are proactively shaping clearer and more supportive regulations to facilitate drone operations. This strategic initiative aims to lower operational barriers and enhance safety, thereby accelerating the adoption of drones across various sectors. Enhanced regulatory frameworks are anticipated to unlock significant business opportunities and drive innovation in drone applications.” Active Companies in the drone industry today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), Draganfly Inc. (NASDAQ: DPRO), Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT), AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), EHang Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: EH).

    The report continued: “Drones are particularly important for inspecting difficult-to-reach locations at certain altitudes or in contaminated surroundings. The use of drones has modernized the telecommunication tower scrutiny as they can be used to carry out supervision of these towers cost-effectively and in less time. Drones can also be employed for aerial evaluation of buildings and other infrastructures, such as pipelines, electric grids, offshore plants, and solar plates. They can use thermal imaging cameras to detect hotspots on solar plates; spots where energy is not spreading evenly. This can enhance the productivity of solar power plants by the instant identification of potentially problematic areas. For instance, the Lockheed Martin Procerus Technologies Indago quadrotor can be used for inspections near energy generation plants. Drones can be used to deliver medical supplies in difficult terrains. Drones are considered the future of the last-mile delivery for consumer supplies since they will reduce cost per delivery, along with delivery time. As the wages of delivery persons persist to rise, autonomous delivery or human-less services will become gradually advantageous, especially in developed countries. The major players in the Commercial Drone market have adopted various growth strategies such as contracts, joint ventures, partnerships & agreements, acquisitions, and new product launches to further expand their presence in the Commercial Drone market.”

    ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA) Closes Miller Land Surveying Corporation, a Third Southeast Acquisition and a Fourth Nationally for the Drone as Service (DaaS) Rollout – ZenaTech, Inc. (FSE: 49Q) (BMV: ZENA) (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drone, Drone-as-a-Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, announces the closing of its acquisition of Miller Land Surveying Corporation (“Miller”) of Lake Worth, Florida, a land survey and mapping company with a 40 year history and deep portfolio of business customers in the Palm Beach County area of South Florida.

    This is ZenaTech’s third acquisition in the Southeast region as part of a larger national roll-up strategy to disrupt the land survey industry by accelerating the use of drones for their speed and accuracy benefits. The acquisition also furthers the Company’s national Drone as a Service, or DaaS, business rollout as the fourth US acquisition.

    “Miller Land Surveying brings a wealth of experience and customer relationships as a second-generation company known across Palm Beach County for quality land surveys and mapping. Their pioneering team is well suited to helping us bring drone innovation to premium residential and business land surveys. This acquisition is another step towards our vision to create a national DaaS business, bringing AI drone efficiencies and precision to a variety of legacy business verticals and manual tasks,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

    ZenaTech’s DaaS business will incorporate the ZenaDrone 1000 and the IQ series of multifunction autonomous drones to provide a variety of service solutions from land surveys to power line inspections or power washing, made accessible and cost effective through an Uber-like business model on a regular subscription or pay-per-use basis. Customers can conveniently access drones for eliminating manual or time-consuming tasks achieving superior results, such as for surveying, inspections, security and law enforcement, or precision farming applications, without having to buy, operate, or maintain the drones themselves.

    The DaaS business model offers customers such as government agencies, real estate developers, construction firms, farmers or energy companies reduced upfront costs as there is no need to purchase expensive drones, as well as convenience, as there is no need to manage maintenance and operation. The model also offers scalability to use more often or less often based on business needs and enables access to advanced drone technology sensors or attachments like spraying, without the need for specialized training.

    Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, designing, and executing of roads, bridges, and building projects for cities, commercial, and residential projects, and are required for legal purposes. Remotely piloted drones with an array of sensors and cameras, LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), and GPS systems for capturing high-resolution pictures and data are revolutionizing the land survey industry gathering aerial data across expansive terrains in a matter of hours instead of weeks or months using more traditional photogrammetry methods.

    In Additional ZENA News: ZenaTech’s (NASDAQ:ZENA) Expands Domestic Manufacturing for US Commercial Customers and US Defense Without Needing to Increase Prices – ZenaTech, Inc. (“ZenaTech”), a technology company specializing in AI (Artificial Intelligence) drones, Drone as a Service (DaaS), enterprise SaaS and Quantum Computing solutions, today provides an update on its US-based ZenaDrone subsidiary’s expansion plans for “Made in America” manufacturing in light of the recent expanded tariffs announced by the current US Administration. ZenaTech maintains its commitment to domestic manufacturing for US defense drone solutions, including strategic local investments and military-compliant supply chains. ZenaDrone will now move some of its commercial drone production for US commercial customers to Arizona, meaning no need to increase prices for customers to offset tariff costs.

    ZenaDrone’s headquarters is in Phoenix, Arizona, which includes sales, administration, research and development, and aerial testing operations. The company plans to expand its manufacturing capabilities over the next two months to produce drones for US commercial customers in addition to planned production for the US military. This expansion will include up to 2,000 additional square feet of production space. This will be the second global manufacturing facility; the company currently has development and production facilities for the ZenaDrone 1000 and IQ series of drones at its 10,000-square-foot facility in Sharjah, UAE.

    In response to the evolving trade landscape, ZenaTech also expects that the expansion of its Phoenix-based manufacturing facility will bring over 150 new jobs to the region by the end of 2026.

    “While tariffs can be challenging, they also reveal which companies are truly agile. ZenaTech has always been long-term in our thinking; engaging in smart resource management and supply chains and prepared to navigate global shifts,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D. “With increased US bans on Chinese drones and components and local incentives for domestic production, we are well-positioned to expand our manufacturing in Arizona, also creating more high-quality American jobs,” added Mr. Passley.
