  • MIL-OSI: Global Policy Advisors credits market insight of Bessent and Lutnick in tariff reversal

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In response to President Trump’s decision to reverse course on his administration’s tariff policy, Global Policy Advisors LLC today credited key leaders, notably Scott Bessent and Howard Lutnick, for playing a pivotal role in shaping the shift. The firm also pointed to Bill Ackman’s outspoken criticism as an important accelerant of broader market and political reconsideration.

    “Scott Bessent’s macro perspective and Howard Lutnick’s pulse on real-time liquidity and trading dynamics have been central to illustrating how tariffs—while politically expedient—risk structural harm to U.S. markets and global financial credibility,” said Salar Ghahramani, president of Global Policy Advisors. “Their insights informed the decision and helped bring clarity to the long-term downsides of an overly protectionist posture.”

    President Trump’s decision comes amid mounting pressure from Wall Street and global trading partners, as well as a growing recognition that prolonged tariffs could undermine capital markets and U.S. competitiveness in strategic sectors.

    “While the initial politics of tariffs may have played well in some quarters, the policy began to lose traction as figures like Bill Ackman openly questioned its wisdom,” Ghahramani added. “When market-savvy voices unite in their concern, even the most entrenched positions can shift.”

    GPA continues to assess the ways in which market participants and institutional investors influence policy direction, noting the potential for further realignments as financial and political dynamics continue to evolve.

  • MIL-OSI: Tai Software Introduces the Most Flexible TMS on the Market at the TIA 2025 Capital Ideas Conference

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN ANTONIO, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At this year’s TIA Capital Ideas Conference, Tai Software announced three powerful new enhancements. These upgrades position Tai as the most flexible and automation-ready transportation management system for freight brokers. With it, brokers are empowered to operate on their terms, without the delays and expense of custom software development.

    Traditional TMS platforms often lock brokers into rigid workflows, limiting how they manage shipment references, alerts, and carrier behavior. These constraints lead to inefficiencies, reactive customer service, and inconsistent carrier communication. Tai’s latest updates are designed to give brokers total control over these essential elements.

    “We’re enhancing TMS flexibility by putting control directly in the hands of brokers, allowing them to define their own business rules, streamline workflows, and adapt the system to fit their operations,” said Daniel Ely, Chief Product Officer at Tai Software. “It’s not about changing how you work to fit your TMS. It’s about your TMS working the way you do.”

    Tai’s Three Flexibility-Driven Enhancements

    1. Custom Shipment Reference Numbers

    Brokers can now create and manage reference fields tailored to their operations. The TMS dashboard, customer portals, reports, and APIs will show these fields. Fields include internal tags and customer-specific IDs based on each company’s unique logic.

    2. Custom Shipment Alerts with Workflow Automation

    Move beyond basic notifications. With Tai, brokers can create alerts based on business-specific conditions and trigger real-time actions. Custom alerts enable teams to stay ahead of issues instead of reacting after they occur.

    3. Carrier Rules Engine

    Brokers can set their own logic for interacting with carriers across their operations. Tai offers brokers tools for consistent, brand-driven carrier management. These include auto-selection, compliance checks, visibility settings, and performance tracking.

    “These three capabilities give brokers deep operational control over what gets tracked, when to take action, and how their systems respond in real-time,” said Ely.

    Real Value for Freight Brokers

    These latest enhancements give freight brokers the power to fully customize their TMS without relying on developers or incurring added costs. With greater visibility and better collaboration across teams and systems, Tai TMS helps brokers operate more efficiently, respond faster, and scale with confidence.

    “This isn’t just flexibility. It’s data intelligence,” Ely explains. “You’re not just getting alerts; you’re triggering results.”

  • MIL-OSI: 21Shares Forms Exclusive Partnership with the House of Doge to Launch Dogecoin ETPs Globally

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 21Shares AG (“21Shares”), a leading global issuer of cryptocurrency exchange-traded products (“ETPs”), has formed an exclusive partnership with the House of Doge to launch the only Dogecoin ETPs endorsed by the Dogecoin Foundation globally. This partnership represents a significant step toward providing registered, institutional-grade exposure to Dogecoin, one of the most community-driven and widely recognized digital assets.

    Originally launched in 2013 as a light-hearted alternative to Bitcoin, Dogecoin has since grown into the internet’s favorite community-driven digital asset, known for its fast transaction speeds, low fees, and increasing merchant adoption. Today, leading brands such as Tesla and AMC Theatres accept Dogecoin as a payment method, reinforcing its evolving role in mainstream finance.

    Beyond its technical advantages, Dogecoin has built a highly engaged and socially impactful community, rallying around the principle of “Do Only Good Everyday.” Over the years, its supporters have helped drive initiatives ranging from charitable fundraising to financial accessibility efforts, demonstrating the power of decentralized communities in shaping the future of digital finance.

    “Registered investment vehicles are essential for broadening access to digital assets, and Dogecoin’s growing adoption underscores its significance in the crypto ecosystem,” said Duncan Moir, President at 21Shares. “By partnering with the House of Doge, we are taking a pivotal step in bringing transparent and institutional-grade investment options to the market. This move reflects our commitment to expanding investor access to innovative and community-driven assets while maintaining the highest regulatory and operational standards.”

    “This partnership marks a very large step forward for the Dogecoin vision,” said Jens Wiechers, Advisory Board Member at House of Doge and Co-Executive Director of the Dogecoin Foundation. “Dogecoin was created to be a fun, accessible form of peer-to-peer money, and over the years, it has demonstrated real-world utility in payments, tipping, and charitable giving. For Dogecoin to reach its full potential as a global currency, institutional support and corporate partnerships are essential. This initiative with 21Shares provides a regulated path for institutions to participate in and amplify the ‘Dogecoin is Money’ vision, while still honoring the community’s spirit. Global adoption is critical, and we’re excited to take this next step – ensuring Dogecoin stays fun, but gains the credibility and backing needed to thrive at scale.”

    “Our partnership with 21Shares demonstrates the evolving maturity and legitimacy of Dogecoin in the financial world,” said Sarosh Mistry, President and CEO of Sodexo North America and Director-Elect of House of Doge. “Institutional products will empower new types of investors to participate in the Dogecoin ecosystem, reinforcing its role as a leader in the future of digital assets.”

    With over $7.3 billion in assets under management and listings on 11 major exchanges, including SIX Swiss Exchange, Nasdaq, and Euronext, 21Shares continues to drive the integration of digital assets into mainstream finance.

    NEW YORK, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Evome Medical Technologies Inc. (“Evome”, the “Company”) (TSXV: EVMT) ‎announced the resignation of Michael Dalsin as Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Chris Heath will remain on the Board and continues to work to capture shareholder value in the various assets held by Evome.

    “As a large shareholder, I joined the board to get a clear understanding of the state of affairs, survey the totality of the circumstances, and see what could be done to maximize the outcome for shareholders,” said Mr. Dalsin. “The current economic backdrop is massively challenging. I do think the best approach remains to maximize the value of the assets, including selling DaMar, work to retire the debt and hope there is something left over for the rest of us as shareholders.

    TORONTO, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dundee Corporation (TSX: DC.A) (“Dundee” or the “Company”) announced today receipt of regulatory approval for its notice of intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (the “Bid”) in respect of its class A subordinate voting shares (“Class A Shares”) through the facilities of the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) or alternative Canadian trading systems from April 14, 2025 to April 13, 2026.

    Jonathan Goodman, President and CEO of Dundee Corporation, commented:

    “Buying back shares for cancellation at current prices is a good long-term investment for the Company and a prudent allocation of capital. We remain committed to rationalizing our legacy investment portfolio and monetizing our remaining non-core assets. We will continue to review options for capital allocation that deliver further value to our shareholders as we execute on our strategic plan to find and work collaboratively to develop mining companies.”

    Dundee may purchase up to a maximum of 6,442,048 Class A Shares under the Bid, representing approximately 10% of the Company’s public float on the Class A Shares.

    The price paid for Securities acquired under the Bid will be the market price at the time of purchase and all Class A Shares purchased under the Bid will be cancelled. The Company intends to enter into an automatic purchase plan with its designated broker to allow for purchases under the Bid during periods when Dundee would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Class A Shares due to regulatory restrictions or customary self-imposed blackout periods. Outside of the automatic purchase plan, the Class A Shares may continue to be purchased under the Bid based on management’s discretion in compliance with the rules of the TSX and applicable securities laws.

    Under Dundee’s current normal course issuer bid on the Class A Shares which is set to expire on April 11, 2025, the Company sought and received approval from the TSX to purchase up to 7,692,104 Class A Shares.

While Mr. Hogan is our first signed athlete we can announce, it’s only the beginning of what today’s golfers can expect.” 

    The technology will make its public debut at Augusta this week, with the full release scheduled for fall 2025. 

    Golf enthusiasts can expect:

    Orlando, Fla., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Global Blockchain Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GBBK) today announced that it will cease its operations as of April 14, 2025 (the first business day following the end of the business combination period, the “Record Date”), and as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, will redeem all of its outstanding shares of common stock that were included in the units issued in its initial public offering (the “public shares”), effective as of the close of business on the Record Date, as the Company will not consummate an initial business combination on or prior to April 12, 2025. 

    Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, if the Company does not complete its initial business combination by April 12, 2025 (subject to the Board’s election to contribute funds to the trust account in order to extend monthly), then the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) promptly redeem the public shares within ten business days thereafter, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company’s trust account including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (less taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) thereafter, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

    The public shares will cease trading on April 13, 2025. As of the close of business on April 13, 2025, the public shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount.

    The redemption amount will be payable to the holders of the public shares upon delivery of their shares. Beneficial owners of public shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount.

    There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants or rights, which will expire worthless.

    The Company expects that the Nasdaq Stock Exchange will file a Form 25 with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) to delist the Company’s securities. The Company thereafter expects to file a Form 15 with the Commission to terminate the registration of its securities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

  • MIL-OSI: LiBama Power Awarded $100,000 SuperBoost Grant to Advance Breakthrough Lithium Metal Anode Technology

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BINGHAMTON, N.Y., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — LiBama Power, a leader in next-generation lithium battery anode technology, has been awarded a $100,000 SuperBoost grant from the NSF Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York. The funding will accelerate the commercialization of LiBama’s Advanced Metal Anodes (AMAs), a transformative lithium-metal technology designed to increase energy density, reduce costs, and enhance battery safety for electric vehicles (EVs), drones, wearables, and power tools.

    LiBama’s patented AMA technology delivers twice the energy density of conventional lithium-ion batteries while reducing cell costs by 30%. Unlike many next-gen battery materials, AMAs are designed for drop-in compatibility with existing manufacturing processes, enabling seamless industry adoption without the need for costly retooling.

    “The energy storage industry is shifting rapidly toward higher-performance, cost-effective solutions, and LiBama Power is leading the way,” said Wentao Li, founder and CTO of LiBama Power. “With this support from the NSF Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York, we are moving quickly to scale and commercialize our Advanced Metal Anodes, enabling safer, more powerful, and more accessible lithium-metal battery solutions.”

    The SuperBoost program, a flagship initiative of the NSF Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York, is designed to accelerate battery technology commercialization, cutting traditional development cycles from five or more years to under two years. By providing funding, access to testbeds, and regional partnerships, SuperBoost helps startups bridge the gap between R&D and market deployment.

    LiBama’s work aligns with the Engine’s broader efforts to position upstate New York as a leader in energy storage innovation. Fernando Gómez-Baquero, translation pillar director for the NSF Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York, noted the significance of LiBama’s advancements: “LiBama Power is redefining what’s possible for lithium battery anodes, combining high energy density with cost efficiency and scalability. By leveraging the Engine’s network of resources, they are positioned to make a rapid transition from prototype to commercial production — exactly what SuperBoost was designed to support.”

    The NSF Energy Storage Engine in Upstate New York is committed to building a robust, interconnected ecosystem that strengthens the U.S. battery supply chain. Meera Sampath, CEO of the Engine, highlighted how investments like these drive broader impact. “Our goal is to accelerate the market readiness of transformative battery technologies, ensuring they can scale rapidly and contribute to national energy security,” she said. “SuperBoost provides startups with the critical resources they need to shorten commercialization timelines and position Upstate New York as a global hub for energy storage innovation. LiBama Power exemplifies this mission by bringing breakthrough battery solutions closer to real-world deployment.”

    With this funding, LiBama Power will refine its AMA production process and produce prototype batteries for key applications in EVs, aviation, and grid storage. The investment represents a critical step toward strengthening the domestic energy storage industry, reinforcing the U.S. supply chain, and advancing high-performance, cost-effective battery solutions.

    About LiBama Power

    LiBama Power designs, manufactures, and markets AMAs for lithium-metal batteries. Its patented technology enables higher energy density, faster charging, and lower costs while ensuring compatibility with existing manufacturing infrastructure.

  • MIL-OSI: SUNation Energy Strengthens Financial Position Via Recently Completed Financings and Debt Reduction    

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RONKONKOMA, N.Y., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SUNation Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE) (“SUNation” or “the Company”), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power solutions for households, businesses, and municipalities, today announced that recently completed capital transactions have allowed the Company to materially deliver its balance sheet, improve future cash flows, and enhance its financial flexibility to pursue its long-term growth objectives.

    As previously announced, the Company raised approximately $20.0 million in aggregate gross proceeds via a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors (“the Offering”), which closed in separate tranches in February 2025 and April 2025, respectively. Using a portion of the proceeds from the Offering, the Company has eliminated approximately $12.6 million of secured debt and other long-term contractual obligations.

    Primary among these obligations was the previously announced repayment in full of $9.4 million in senior and junior secured loans, eliminating all monthly payment obligations and removing an average annual cash drain of approximately $3.4 million through 2027.

    Today, the Company announced that on April 7, 2025 it paid an aggregate $2.1 million of earnout consideration associated with the November 2022 acquisition of SUNation Solar Systems, Inc. and five of its affiliated entities (SUNation Commercial, Inc., SUNation Service, Inc., SUNation Electric, Inc., SUNation Energy, LLC, and SUNation Roofing, LLC) by Pineapple Energy Inc. (now known as SUNation Energy, Inc.). Following this recent payment, the total earnout consideration of $2.5 million is paid in full.

    “We are very proud to have executed on these debt reduction initiatives, which reflect our commitment to meeting SUNation’s financial obligations while strengthening our financial profile and capital base,” said Scott Maskin, Chief Executive Officer. “This reduction in debt has produced material benefits including lowering our annual interest expense, while enhancing cash flows that provide the flexibility necessary to invest appropriately in our long-term expansion and/or other strategic options.

  • MIL-OSI: FHLBank San Francisco Makes $12 Million Available in Downpayment Assistance Grants for Low- to Moderate-Income First-Time Homebuyers

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SAN FRANCISCO, April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (FHLBank San Francisco) today announced a $12 million allocation for its 2025 Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH) Program. For 25 years, the WISH Program has provided matching grants to help enable low- and moderate-income families and individuals achieve the dream of homeownership, opening doors to wealth building opportunities for thousands of households.

    The WISH Program offers downpayment and closing cost assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers — those earning at or below 80% of the HUD area median income. In 2025, FHLBank San Francisco will continue its partnership with member financial institutions to provide $4-to-$1 matching grants with a maximum subsidy of $32,099 per homebuyer set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

    “In today’s challenging housing market, where home prices are rising and affordable housing inventory remains tight, WISH grants are a proven tool for expanding access to homeownership,” said Joe Amato, interim president and chief executive officer at FHLBank San Francisco. “As we celebrate 25 years of impact with our WISH Program, we are proud to continue partnering with our member financial institutions to help more families and individuals turn their homeownership dreams into reality.”

    The WISH Program is a key component of FHLBank San Francisco’s commitment to expanding access to affordable housing and homeownership. Since the first WISH grant was awarded to a first-time homebuyer in 2000, the program has delivered over $160 million to more than 10,000 low- and moderate-income homebuyers.

    Making Homeownership Possible Changes Lives

    Diane Fuchs, a single mother and grandmother who rented for 25 years, was able to purchase her own home thanks to a $30,800 WISH Program grant delivered by FHLBank San Francisco member Tri Counties Bank. Diane’s dream of living closer to family in Paradise, California, was made possible through this support. Owning a home has provided her with financial stability and reduced her housing costs.

    “My rent was increasing by $100 every year,” Diane shared. “Now I know exactly what I’m responsible for. It’s a really secure feeling.”

    Tri Counties Bank played a crucial role in guiding Diane through the homebuying process.

    “At Tri Counties Bank, we’re very passionate about home affordability across our entire footprint,” said Scott Robertson, head of community banking with Tri Counties Bank. “Partnering with the Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco and making homeownership dreams come true through the WISH program is exactly at the heart of what we do.”

    WISH Program Applications Available for Bank Members

    FHLBank San Francisco is now accepting applications from member institutions to participate in the WISH Program on a rolling basis through March 13, 2026. First-time homebuyers interested in learning more about WISH matching grants are encouraged to contact a participating member institution directly. Visit fhlbsf.com for more information about the WISH Program and other FHLBank San Francisco grant programs.

In doing so, expanding its global expertise in executing complex financial transactions by broadening its offerings in private credit in these main sectors: consumer, defense, diverse industrials, healthcare, real estate and technology.

    Joseph T. Rallo brings nearly two decades of experience to the firm successfully closing over 500 transactions totaling $60 billion in proceeds. His expertise spans a wide range of both public and private transactions, including: equity capital markets, private placements, fixed income, structured products, M&A, financial advisory, debt capital markets, leveraged finance, restructuring & recapitalization, asset-backed finance, financial sponsor coverage, and hedging & risk management. He has held key leadership roles at preeminent Wall Street firms in New York and San Francisco.

    “This is a pivotal moment for the firm to revive the E.F. Hutton name on Wall Street,” said Chief Executive Officer Joseph T. Rallo. “My team is known for their dominance in public equity capital markets, primarily IPOs and SPAC IPOs, and we are looking forward to building on this momentum as we expand our offerings.”

    As the President of E.F. Hutton, Duncan B.

  • MIL-OSI: Gabelli Multimedia Trust Reinforces Maintenance of $0.88 Per Share Annual Distribution Will Commence Monthly Distributions in May 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    RYE, N.Y., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Board of Directors of The Gabelli Multimedia Trust Inc. (NYSE: GGT) (the “Fund”) has determined to begin monthly distributions to the common stock shareholders of the Fund. These distributions will provide cash flow to common stock shareholders each month.

    Under its monthly distribution policy, the Fund will continue to pay a $0.22 per share quarterly distribution, with $0.07 per share paid for each of the first two months of the quarter and $0.08 per share paid in the third month of each quarter.

    In light of the above policy, the Fund has declared a $0.14 per share cash distribution (covering the months of April and May) payable on May 22, 2025 to common stock shareholders of record on May 15, 2025, and a $0.08 per share cash distribution payable on June 23, 2025 to common stock shareholders of record on June 13, 2025. The distributions reflect an annualized distribution of $0.88 per share.

    The Fund previously paid quarterly distributions in accordance with a “managed distribution policy” adopted pursuant to an exemptive order granted to the Fund by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which permitted the Fund to distribute long-term capital gains more frequently than the limits provided in the Investment Company Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Fund no longer intends to rely on this exemptive relief to maintain a managed distribution policy in connection with its monthly distributions.

    The Fund currently intends to make monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of its investment company taxable income (which includes ordinary income and realized net short term capital gains) to common shareholders. The Fund also intends to make annual distributions of its realized net long term capital gains, if any. The Fund, however, may make more than one capital gain distribution to avoid paying U.S. federal excise tax. A portion of each distribution may be a return of capital. Various factors will affect the level of the Fund’s income. To permit the Fund to maintain more stable distributions, the Fund may from time to time distribute more or less than the entire amount of income earned in a particular period. The Fund’s distribution policy may be modified from time to time by the Board as it deems appropriate, including in light of market and economic conditions and the Fund’s current, expected and historical earnings and investment performance. Because the Fund’s monthly distributions are subject to modification by the Board at any time and the Fund’s income will fluctuate, there can be no assurance that the Fund will pay distributions at a particular rate or frequency.

    If the Fund does not generate sufficient earnings (dividends and interest income, less expenses, and net realized capital gain) equal to or in excess of the aggregate distributions paid by the Fund in a given year, then the amount distributed in excess of the Fund’s earnings would be deemed a return of capital. Since this would be considered a return of a portion of a shareholder’s original investment, it is generally not taxable and would be treated as a reduction in the shareholder’s cost basis. Shareholders who receive the payment of a distribution consisting of a return of capital may be under the impression that they are receiving net profits when they are not. Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. The distribution rate should not be considered the dividend yield or total return on an investment in the Fund.

    Based on the accounting records of the Fund currently available, each of the distributions paid to common shareholders in 2025 would be deemed 100% from paid-in capital on a book basis. This does not represent information for tax reporting purposes. The estimated components of each distribution are updated and provided to shareholders of record in a notice accompanying the distribution and are available on our website (www.gabelli.com). The final determination of the sources of all distributions in 2025 will be made after year end and can vary from the estimates. Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the current distribution. All individual shareholders with taxable accounts will receive written notification regarding the components and tax treatment for all 2025 distributions in early 2026 via Form 1099-DIV.

    Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the Fund before investing. For more information regarding the Fund’s distribution policy and other information about the Fund, call:
