  • MIL-OSI: GAM Investments and Swiss Re announce new Cat Bond and ILS investment partnership

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Zurich: 7 April 2025 

    PRESS RELEASE

    Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 Listing Rules:

    GAM Investments and Swiss Re announce new Cat Bond and ILS investment partnership. 

    • Industry pioneers agree long-term strategic partnership, together creating a new distinctive global force in the Catastrophe Bond (Cat Bond) and Insurance-Linked Securities (ILS) market.
    • Swiss Re, through its subsidiary Swiss Re Insurance-Linked Investment Advisors Corporation (“SRILIAC”), will be appointed as co-investment manager of GAM’s ILS fund range, including the GAM Star Cat Bond UCITS Fund, effective from 7 May 2025.
    • Swiss Re currently manages approximately USD 5 billion in ILS assets, including funds, sidecars and bespoke structures. From 7 May 2025, Swiss Re will additionally co-manage GAM’s ILS funds, which have a total of approximately USD 3 billion in assets under management (AUM) as of 31 March 2025.
    • As global markets evolve, cat bonds and ILS continue to provide attractive investment opportunities, offering diversification, scalability, and resilience against macroeconomic trends. Swiss Re’s scale and end-to-end expertise in the ILS market, supported by their specialist underwriting know-how delivers unique risk management capabilities and enhanced investment expertise for investors.
    • GAM has been a pioneer in the Cat Bond and ILS space, recognising its potential early on and developing innovative investment solutions that have contributed to the market’s growth. With 20 years of experience, GAM has built a robust infrastructure, a global distribution network, and a strong client service framework, fostering deep and long-standing relationships with investors.
    • GAM has hired ILS executive Dr. Rom Aviv as Head of ILS to drive the expansion of its ILS business, lead its strategic collaboration with Swiss Re, and develop innovative investment solutions for its clients.

    Strengthening our commitment to excellence: GAM is delighted to announce it has formed a strategic and long-term partnership with Swiss Re, one of the world’s leading providers of reinsurance, insurance and a leader in the ILS marketplace.

    With a strong pedigree and history in the ILS market, the unique and expert combination formed by this partnership positions Swiss Re and GAM as leaders in Cat Bond and ILS investing for the benefit of clients.

    As co-investment manager, Swiss Re will be responsible for investment and portfolio management decisions, while GAM will retain responsibility for risk management oversight and will lead global distribution and product structuring. Swiss Re and GAM will also collaborate on ILS innovation together.

    The Swiss Re Group is one of the world’s leading providers of reinsurance, insurance and other forms of insurance-based risk transfer, with a track record spanning more than 160 years. It has been a pioneer in catastrophe bonds (cat bonds) since the market was created in the 1990s, acting as a leading sponsor of cat bonds and sidecars and, through Swiss Re Capital Markets, is also a leading arranger of cat bonds having arranged transactions with a notional value of approximately USD 50 billion. This accounts for more than a quarter of the notional value of all cat bonds issued since 1997.

    Investors in GAM’s cat bond and ILS funds will now benefit from Swiss Re’s extensive risk knowledge and underwriting expertise, including more than 50 dedicated scientists working in catastrophe risk, over 190 proprietary peril models and approximately 200 terabytes of curated portfolio data. Investors will continue to leverage GAM’s robust institutional framework, combining a strong infrastructure, rigorous risk management, and tailored investment solutions, with exemplary client service delivering operational excellence and an institutional platform of the highest standards.

    The funds will be co-managed by SRILIAC, a Swiss Re wholly-owned subsidiary and a US Securities and Exchange Commission registered investment adviser. The SRILIAC unit is led by Mariagiovanna Guatteri, who has more than 20 years’ experience in cat bond portfolio management and natural catastrophe modelling at Swiss Re, including managing Swiss Re’s proprietary ILS investments and managing third party capital for Swiss Re’s ILS-related investment strategies.

    Mariagiovanna Guatteri, CEO and CIO of SRILIAC, commented: “The ILS market set new records in 2024 and strong returns on cat bonds have highlighted the attractiveness and diversification value of the asset class for investors. It is an exciting time for the industry and we see considerable interest both from cat bond issuers and investors.”

    Cat bonds, which are issued to provide financial protection against potential losses from natural catastrophes or other perils, allow investors to access an asset class, whose returns have low correlation with other financial markets asset classes.

    The cat bond market continues to grow due to increased demand for risk transfer primarily driven by economic development, concentration of insured values in exposed areas, changing vulnerability and climate change. The asset class offers investors a scalable and diversifying investment opportunity.

    Dr. Rom Aviv, the newly appointed Head of ILS at GAM, brings 17 years of experience spanning buy-side and sell-side roles, with deep expertise in modelling, structuring, and product development across ILS, reinsurance, and capital markets. He commented: “The resilience of Cat Bonds in the face of market volatility, delivering attractive, diversifying returns above the risk-free rate, has been reinforced by 25 years of empirical evidence. GAM and Swiss Re have been key pioneers in scaling and evolving this asset class for over two decades, with this partnership bringing together investment management expertise, underwriting capabilities, and a state-of-the-art client infrastructure to ensure investors access truly compatible and tailored solutions. I am thrilled to join GAM, lead the expansion of its ILS business, and partner with the foremost reinsurer in the ILS space.”

    Elmar Zumbuehl, Group CEO of GAM Investments said, “For 20 years GAM has provided clients with access to portfolio diversifying Catastrophe and Insurance Linked Securities globally. We are proud of our significant contribution to the asset class, having helped several thousand clients access and invest in GAM Cat Bond and ILS strategies. GAM and Swiss Re’s combined strengths across global distribution, product innovation, risk management and investment expertise will help make an already exciting asset class more accessible to our clients.”

    Christopher Minter, Head of Swiss Re Alternative Capital Partners, said: “We are delighted to partner with GAM to co-manage their cat bond and ILS investment strategies. We look forward to working with GAM to bring Swiss Re’s unparalleled risk knowledge and cat bond industry experience to investors.”

  • MIL-OSI: Forexiro Makes Its Debut at Cyprus Trading Event, Offering Structured Gold Trading on H4

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, UAE, April 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At a leading trading industry event in March 2025, Forexiro made its official debut, capturing attention with its structured approach to gold trading on the H4 chart. The forex trading world moves fast, and finding the right rhythm can make all the difference. That’s where the 4-hour (H4) chart shines, a timeframe that bridges the gap between the whirlwind of short intervals and the slow burn of daily charts. Forexiro, developed by Avenix Fzco, is an automated trading system built specifically for the XAUUSD (Gold/US Dollar) pair on H4, offering a structured, methodical way to engage with the markets.

    The Appeal of the 4-Hour Timeframe

    The H4 chart brings a few key strengths to the table, whether you’re new to trading or a seasoned hand.

    • Reduced Market Noise: Short timeframes can feel like a rollercoaster, prices jumping around, trends hard to spot. The H4 smooths out that chaos, giving you a clearer picture of where things are headed.
    • A Practical Pace: Daily charts test your patience with sparse signals, but H4 keeps the action coming, offering solid opportunities without chaining you to your screen.
    • Room for Real Analysis: This timeframe provides enough context to read meaningful shifts and develop well-reasoned strategies.
    • Balanced Risk-to-Reward Ratio: With more stable price movements, the H4 chart allows for well-structured stop-loss and take-profit placements, improving trade planning and capital protection.

    How Forexiro Fits the H4 Mold

    Forexiro is tailored to match the natural rhythm of the H4 timeframe, offering a mix of automation and control designed for traders seeking structure and consistency.

    • Pinpoint Entries: It identifies support and resistance levels, tracks momentum, and looks for confirmation before entering trades, aiming to align with high-probability setups.
      Martingale Option: T For traders who prefer recovery-based strategies, Forexiro includes an adjustable martingale feature to help navigate losing streaks with caution.
    • Easy to Use: With a clean design, the system is accessible for traders at any experience level, minimizing barriers to getting started.
    • Built-in Risk Controls: Automated stop-loss and take-profit mechanisms are included by default, helping users manage risk consistently.

    Embracing the H4 Timeframe with Forexiro

    Forexiro supports a trading style that values patience, clarity, and strategic execution. For traders who find lower timeframes too chaotic and daily charts too slow, the H4 offers a sweet spot—and Forexiro is designed to help make the most of it. Rather than overcomplicating trading, it encourages a measured, informed approach grounded in rhythm and structure.

    About Forexiro

    Forexiro is an Expert Advisor (EA) built for XAU/USD trading on the H4 timeframe. Designed for precision and risk management, it combines advanced algorithms, martingale technology, and trend analysis to optimize trade execution. With a user-friendly interface, it empowers traders of all levels to capitalize on gold market opportunities. Learn more at https://forexiro.com/.

  • MIL-OSI: FxMagnetic Launches Parabolic Trader: A Smarter Way to Trade with Prop Firms and Personal Accounts

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LONDON, April 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FxMagnetic, a provider of intuitive trading tools, announces the launch of FxMagnetic Parabolic Trader, the latest addition to its expanding FxMagnetic Suite. Designed for MetaTrader 4 and with a MetaTrader 5 version currently in development, the new software enables traders to create, backtest, and automate strategies using the Parabolic SAR (PSAR) indicator—without requiring any programming skills.

    Built specifically for traders working with prop firms like FTMO, The5ers, and others, as well as individual traders managing their own capital, FxMagnetic Parabolic Trader combines technical sophistication with ease of use. It allows traders to build and refine trading strategies directly on the chart, execute thousands of backtest simulations, and review detailed statistics such as win rate, max drawdown, and return/drawdown ratios.

    Strategy Optimization Without Code

    One of the defining features of FxMagnetic Parabolic Trader is its ability to simulate thousands of strategy variations based on the PSAR indicator and prebuilt logic. This enables traders to uncover winning combinations of parameters that fit their trading style—whether trend-following or reversal-based.

    In addition to core features like chart-based backtesting and visual trade signals, the software includes several innovative capabilities that appeal to prop traders and personal account managers alike.

    Advanced Filtering: Time-Based Trading Control

    The Time Filter feature lets users define specific periods of the trading day during which trade signals can be generated—for example, 08:30–13:00 and 16:00–21:00. This enables traders to focus only on desired market sessions, such as the London and New York overlaps, improving alignment with volatility windows and avoiding low-liquidity periods.

    This level of control gives traders the ability to refine their strategy based on personal preferences or firm-specific trading rules—a key requirement for those managing prop firm evaluations.

    Failsafe Guard: SL/TP Recovery Mechanism

    Another critical addition is the newly introduced Failsafe Guard, an SL/TP (Stop Loss / Take Profit) recovery mechanism that addresses a common concern among traders: the risk of unprotected trades due to broker-side execution issues.

    If a trade opens without SL/TP due to temporary limitations, the Failsafe Guard will:

    • Retry applying SL/TP as soon as broker conditions allow.
    • Close the trade immediately if the price moves beyond intended SL or TP levels before protection is applied.

    This added protection reduces the risk of large losses due to technical execution delays, offering an extra layer of risk management automation—a feature especially important for prop firm traders who must adhere to strict drawdown rules.

    Visual Strategy Design with Instant Feedback

    Instead of using spreadsheets or coding custom Expert Advisors, traders can now visually design and test strategies right on the MetaTrader chart. Each signal appears on the chart, with color-coded entry and exit points, providing instant clarity on how a strategy performs historically. Combined with powerful metrics, this helps both beginner and advanced traders make more informed decisions.

    The vision of the FxMagnetic Suite is to simplify strategy development and automation for all traders, particularly those who need solutions that can function efficiently without constant screen time. This approach supports consistent execution while enabling more flexibility in how and when traders engage with the market.

    FxMagnetic Parabolic Trader represents an evolution in the way strategies are tested and deployed—especially for traders who value data-driven decision-making and streamlined automation.

    FxMagnetic continues to expand its ecosystem of tools, building on successful releases like FxMagnetic RSI Trader and FxMagnetic Candlestick Labs. With each tool offering multiple built-in strategies and extensive optimization settings, the suite provides a complete solution for strategy discovery, performance analysis, and automated trading.

  • MIL-OSI: BexBack Launches No KYC, 100x Leverage, $50 Welcome Bonus, and Double Deposit – Start Trading Today!

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, April 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Bitcoin continues to trade below $85,000 and analysts predict that the crypto market will remain volatile, holding spot positions may not generate short-term profits. Recent economic shifts, including policy announcements such as President Trump’s tariff decisions, have brought some stabilization, but the volatility remains. For investors seeking to maximize returns in these uncertain times, BexBack Exchange offers a powerful solution. With 100x leverage, a 100% deposit bonus, and a $50 welcome bonus for new users, BexBack empowers traders to seize market opportunities. And with no KYC requirements, it provides a seamless and efficient way to trade.

    What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

    Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

    Suppose the Bitcoin price is $60,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

    One day later, if the price rises to $63,000, your profit will be (63,000 – 60,000) * 100 BTC / 60,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

    With BexBack’s deposit bonus

    BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

    Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?

  • MIL-OSI: ForexRova Debuts at International Forex Conference, Promises Smarter Gold Trading Solutions

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    DUBAI, UAE, April 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ForexRova announces the launch of its platform at an international forex conference, which promises smarter gold trading solutions. In the fast-moving world of forex trading, staying ahead means embracing change. Traders now demand tools that evolve with market dynamics and reflect their unique strategies. ForexRova, developed by Avenix Fzco, meets that demand with a customizable trading system built for flexibility, precision, and control.

    Why Adaptive Trading Matters Now

    Old-school automated trading systems often feel like they’re stuck in the past, rigid algorithms that can’t keep up with the market’s twists and turns. But forex isn’t static. Adaptive trading changes that, using algorithms that analyze historical and real-time data to adjust strategies dynamically. In a relentless market, this responsiveness is critical for staying competitive.

    ForexRova: Built for You, Not the Crowd

    ForexRova is designed with the trader in mind. Its flexible configuration lets users tailor the system to their own risk profile and trading style:

    • Risk Exposure: Set parameters to match your risk tolerance.
    • Trade Frequency Tailor execution from frequent to conservative trades.
    • Stop-Loss Behavior: Customize protections for each trade.
    • Market Entry Rules: Define conditions for initiating trades.

    This level of personalization helps traders take ownership of their strategy without the limitations of rigid algorithms.

    Optimized for Performance

    ForexRova’s performance is refined using tick data from Thinkberry SRL’s Tick Data Suite (2016–present). Starting with a $10,000 deposit, it delivers approximately 100% annual profits with low drawdowns, a balance of growth and discipline that suits serious traders.

    Risk Management That Prioritizes Safety

    Capital protection is central to ForexRova’s design, with features like:

    • Stop Loss and Take Profit Settings: Clear exit points to secure gains and limit losses.
    • Light Martingale Approach: A cautious method to recover losses without high risk.
    • Global Stop Levels: An extra shield to cap drawdowns and protect your account.

    The goal is steady, sustainable growth, not reckless trading.

    User-Friendly Interface and Support

    ForexRova offers a clean, intuitive interface, making it accessible to beginners while still powerful enough for advanced users. Setup is quick, navigation is straightforward, and support is readily available to ensure smooth operation at every step.

    As forex trading evolves, the demand for smarter, more responsive tools grows. ForexRova delivers an adaptive solution that empowers traders to stay in control, without sacrificing safety or simplicity.

    About ForexRova

    ForexRova is a powerful Expert Advisor designed for XAU/USD trading, combining advanced optimization with strategic risk management to deliver consistent profitability.

  • MIL-OSI: SEACOR Marine Announces Securities Repurchase

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HOUSTON, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SEACOR Marine Holdings Inc. (NYSE: SMHI) (the “Company” or “SEACOR Marine”), a leading provider of marine and support transportation services to offshore energy facilities worldwide, today announced that it purchased from certain funds affiliated with Carlyle:

    • 1,355,761 of the Company’s common shares, at $4.90 per share, and
    • Warrants to purchase 1,280,195 shares of Common Stock at $4.89 per warrant, after deduction of an exercise price of $0.01 per warrant.

    Collectively, the shares and warrants represent approximately 9.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, assuming the full exercise of the warrants. The aggregate purchase price was approximately $12.9 million, with the per share and warrant price negotiated based on a trailing volume weighted average price.

    John Gellert, SEACOR Marine’s Chief Executive Officer, commented: “This was a unique opportunity for the Company to buy back a significant amount of shares and warrants in a single block. This repurchase further simplifies our capital structure by eliminating all outstanding warrants. We funded this repurchase with a portion of the proceeds received from the sale of one 201 foot, DP-2 platform supply vessel built in 2014. I would like to again extend my gratitude to Carlyle, who has now exited their equity position following our repayment of their loans at par in late 2024. Carlyle has partnered with us since 2015 and we thank them for their support over the years.”

    SEACOR Marine provides global marine and support transportation services to offshore energy facilities worldwide. SEACOR Marine operates and manages a diverse fleet of offshore support vessels that deliver cargo and personnel to offshore installations, including offshore wind farms; assist offshore operations for production and storage facilities; provide construction, well work-over, offshore wind farm installation and decommissioning support; carry and launch equipment used underwater in drilling and well installation, maintenance, inspection and repair; and handle anchors and mooring equipment for offshore rigs and platforms. Additionally, SEACOR Marine’s vessels provide emergency response services and accommodations for technicians and specialists.

Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and subject to a variety of assumptions, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated or expected by the management of the Company. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements.

  • MIL-OSI: Hut 8 Operations Update for March 2025

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    102% increase in deployed hashrate from an average of 4.6 EH/s in February 2025 to 9.3 EH/s as of the end of March 2025

    31% improvement in fleet efficiency from an average of 29.3 J/TH in February 2025 to 20.1 J/TH as of the end of March 2025

    Launch of American Bitcoin in partnership with Eric Trump

    MIAMI, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hut 8 Corp. (Nasdaq | TSX: HUT) (“Hut 8” or the “Company”), an energy infrastructure platform integrating power, digital infrastructure, and compute at scale to fuel next-generation, energy-intensive use cases such as Bitcoin mining and high-performance computing, today released its operations update for March 2025.

    “This month, we achieved strong alignment between operational momentum and long-term strategic direction,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “Thanks to our team’s disciplined execution, our fleet upgrade has already more than doubled deployed hashrate to 9.3 EH/s while driving fleet efficiency down to 20.1 J/TH as of the end of March.”

    “This operational progress set the stage for a pivotal milestone in our platform strategy: the carveout of substantially all of our ASIC miners into American Bitcoin, a standalone mining entity and majority-owned subsidiary of Hut 8 purpose-built for scale, speed, and capital efficiency. We are excited to launch American Bitcoin in partnership with Eric Trump and to welcome him as a strategic advisor to Hut 8 as we scale our platform.”

    “As we advance the evolution of Hut 8 toward Power and Digital Infrastructure, we are also evolving our approach to disclosure. Going forward, Hut 8 will no longer publish monthly operational updates. Instead, we’ll provide more holistic updates on a quarterly basis or as material developments arise, aligning with disclosure standards followed by peers in the energy and digital infrastructure sectors.”

    “Importantly, the ASIC miners we now operate for American Bitcoin generate revenue for Hut 8 across two distinct reporting segments: Managed Services within Power and ASIC Colocation within Digital Infrastructure.”

    Highlights

    • Step function changes in deployed hashrate and fleet efficiency
    • Launch of American Bitcoin, a pure-play mining subsidiary formed with Eric Trump
    • Shift to institutional reporting cadence

    Financial Highlights

    • Net income was $55,473,592 for the year ended December 31, 2024 (December 31. 2023 – Net income $1,029,528) due to positive investment performance during the year.
    • Net income per Class C common share (“Share”) for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $7.61 (December 31. 2023 – Net income per Share $0.14).
    • The Company’s total shareholders’ equity increased by $53,195,329, from $69,886,178 at December 31, 2023 to $123,081,057 as at December 31, 2024, due to net income from positive investment performance of $55,473,592 during the year, offset by shares repurchase of $2,278,263 under the Company’s Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”).
      • Shareholders’ equity was $17.25 per Share as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – $9.48).
      • 7,133,229 shares were outstanding as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – 7,368,229), a decrease of 235,000 shares as a result of shares repurchase under the NCIB, which was renewed on February 15, 2024.

    PERFORMANCE

    (Based on Shareholders’ Equity)

    		 3 Month 1 Year 3 Year 5 Year Since Inception
    Class C 14.2 % 81.9 % -12.9 % 29.9 % 21.4 %


    Portfolio Highlights

    The completion of the sale of Copperleaf in the third quarter of 2024 and the resulting injection of $70 million cash, substantially changed the Company’s portfolio.

    In October, the Company closed the purchase of four private technology companies from Pluribus Technologies. The acquisition was made by Pender Software Holdings (“PSH”) a new entity owned 86% by Pender, with the balance owned by Acorn Partners Inc. (“Acorn”) and its principals. Acorn (www.acorncappartners.com) is a Vancouver based company that invests in tech companies and provides advisory services to clients. In early 2025, Acorn was merged into PSH and the shares of PSH formerly held by the Acorn were transferred to its principals. The four software companies acquired are each cash flow positive and stable. PSH is leaving existing management in place to facilitate a focus on operational excellence with strategic support and access to capital managed by Pender and Acorn. Ampere Chan, the founder and CEO of Acorn is the CEO of PSH. Pender intends to use PSH as a vehicle for investing in additional software companies. We believe this new enterprise has great potential. 

    With the significant run up in equities over the last year that has pushed large cap equity valuations to multi year highs, we remain vigilant and prepared for increased volatility as we enter 2025. The general trend in inflation continues to moderate towards central bank target levels and expectations are for continued interest rates cuts, albeit at a more moderate pace. Potential headwinds could also include trade policies, particularly tariffs, which could weigh on corporate earnings, and fiscal challenges in developed economies as government deficit spending remains high. There is always the potential for volatility as market expectations shift after such a strong run in risk assets in the past few quarters.

    We believe that the Company continues to be well-positioned today to pursue its investment objectives and we continue to find attractive investments opportunities as valuations in micro and small cap stocks in North America remain attractive despite the recent rally this year.

    Investment results may be affected by future developments and new information that may emerge about broad economic conditions, inflation, central bank measures, geopolitical risks, market risk, unexpected judicial or regulatory proceedings and other global events, factors that are beyond the Company’s control.

    While macro events have driven investor sentiment, we have remained focused on our bottom-up fundamental research to identify companies that can thrive in a wide range of economic scenarios. We believe that this environment provides compelling opportunities for long-term focused investors and that the Company is well-positioned to continue to pursue its investment objectives.

    In 2024, as always, we worked closely with our private portfolio companies and certain of our public portfolio companies.

    Other Highlights

    We continued to acquire shares of the Company in the market under our NCIB because we believe the shares are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value. On February 20, 2025, the Company launched a new NCIB, under which the Company may purchase a maximum of 587,342 shares, or 10% of the Company’s public float on launch date, during the one-year period ending February 19, 2026.

    We encourage you to refer to the Company’s MD&A and the annual audited financial statements for the year-ended December 31, 2024, and other disclosures available under the Company’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca for additional information.

  • MIL-OSI: PIMCO Closed-End Funds Announce Proposed Reorganizations

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Board of Trustees of each of the following funds has approved the following proposals to reorganize the PIMCO closed-end municipal funds (each, a “Merger” and collectively, the “Mergers”), subject to the various shareholder approvals and other contingencies described below:

    • National Mergers: PIMCO Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: PMF) and PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III (NYSE: PMX) with and into PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II (NYSE: PML);
    • New York Mergers: PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: PNF) and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III (NYSE: PYN) with and into PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (NYSE: PNI); and
    • California Mergers: PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II (NYSE: PCK) and PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III (NYSE: PZC) with and into PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: PCQ).

    If the Mergers are consummated, each of PML, PNI, and PCQ (each, an “Acquiring Fund”) would acquire all of the assets and liabilities of, as applicable, PMF, PMX, PNF, PYN, PCK, and PZC (each, an “Acquired Fund”), and the common shares of each Acquired Fund would, in effect, be exchanged for new common shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with an equal aggregate net asset value. In addition, each Fund has one or more series of Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (“RVMTP Shares”) outstanding. As part of each Merger, the outstanding RVMTP Shares of each Acquired Fund are expected to, in effect, be exchanged for RVMTP Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to, and other terms that are substantially identical to, the corresponding series of RVMTP Shares of each such Acquired Fund.

    Each Merger is subject to approval by the applicable Acquiring Fund’s common shareholders to issue additional common shares (the “Merger Shares”) to be distributed to the Acquired Funds’ shareholders and, with respect to each Acquired Fund, the consent to the Merger of its RVMTP shareholders, as applicable. No Merger will be contingent upon the consummation of any other Merger. Common shareholders of the Acquiring Funds will be asked to vote on the applicable proposals at a Special Meeting of shareholders expected to take place on or about June 27, 2025, at a time and location to be stated in the proxy statement/prospectus (the “Shareholder Meeting”).

  • MIL-OSI: Pivotal Helix Wins Gold 2025 Edison Award

    PALO ALTO, Calif., April 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pivotal, the market leader in light electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, today announced it was recognized with the prestigious Gold 2025 Edison Award in The Future of Personal Flight & Drive category for the Helix, its high-performance, cloud-connected personal aircraft.

    The Helix redefines personal mobility. Hop into the flight deck, power the props, tilt to take off straight up, then tilt back to cruise in this electric biplane. From the panoramic canopy to the ergonomic flight controls, every inch of the flight deck is designed for ease of use. By reducing complexity, Pivotal’s single-seat aircraft immerses the pilot in the wonder of flight, minimizes points of failure, and offers a high degree of safety.

    “We are honored to be recognized by the Edison Awards for Pivotal’s innovations in personal aviation. Like Edison and Ford, who transformed how people lived and moved in everyday life, we set out to make flight more accessible,” said Ken Karklin, CEO of Pivotal. “Our light eVTOL aircraft combine breakthrough electric propulsion and an unconventional architecture with simplified controls, opening the skies to more people than ever before.”

    “At Pivotal, we are driven by a relentless focus on excellence. Our mission is to bring safe, easy-to-fly eVTOL aircraft to market, transforming the future of personal aviation by rethinking and executing the art of possible,” added Karklin.

    All nominations are reviewed by the Edison Awards Steering Committee with the final ballot being determined by an independent judging panel. The panel is composed of more than 3,000 senior business executives and academics from the fields of product development, design, engineering, science, marketing, and education, as well as past winners.

    About the Helix
    Ideal for recreation and short-hop travel, the Helix personal aerial vehicle takes off and lands on grass, asphalt, snow, ice—there’s no landing gear, just a keel strip. Fly-by-wire controls, a 270° view, and quiet operation allow pilots to become immersed in their natural surroundings. At the heart of this vehicle is a robust fault-tolerant design with triple modular redundancy for reliability and safety. As an ultralight aircraft, the Helix complies with the Federal Aviation Administration’s Regulation Part 103.

    About The Edison Awards
    Established in 1987, The Edison Awards™ recognize excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design, and innovation.
