  • MIL-OSI: Overland AI Showcases Fully Autonomous Tactical Vehicle at Army Applications Lab Demo

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SEATTLE, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In a recent experimentation event, Overland AI showcased the capabilities of its fully autonomous tactical vehicle at a demonstration hosted by the Army Applications Lab.

    Attended by combat engineers from across multiple U.S. Army and Marine Corps units, the exercise demonstrated how Overland’s fully autonomous tactical vehicle, powered by Overland AI’s OverDrive autonomy stack and OverWatch tactical interface, can disrupt enemy maneuvers. The vehicle, which can traverse off-road terrain at speeds of at least 30 mph with a range of at least 100 miles and a payload capacity greater than 900 lbs, makes it more difficult for adversaries to traverse by deploying deep terrain shaping obstacles (DTSOs).


    U.S. Army combat engineers operating Overland AI’s fully autonomous tactical vehicle with their intuitive OverWatch interface.

    “This demonstration validated our vision: that fully autonomous off-road capabilities can provide combat engineers with an organic way of conducting deep terrain shaping,” said Jon Fink, chief technology officer of Overland AI. “This capability equips warfighters to execute critical missions faster, at greater distances, with less risk to human life.”

    The demonstration was attended by Army engineering units, including:

    • 264th CO (CEC-I), 27th Engineer Battalion, 20th Engineer Brigade
    • 595th CO (CEC-A), 5th Engineer Battalion, 36th Engineer Brigade
    • 570th CO (CEC-I/S), 864th Engineer Battalion, 555th Engineer Brigade.

    During the exercise, combat engineers engaged directly with Overland AI’s OverWatch tactical interface, planning and executing realistic scenarios. Soldiers were able to experience firsthand how the system operates in rugged terrain, adapting to mission parameters with minimal input. With at least 1 kW of available power for payloads and an idle time of two hours, Overland AI’s attritable autonomous tactical vehicle is engineered for extended mission durations and highly adaptable operations in contested terrain.


    Overland AI engineers testing and evaluating their fully autonomous tactical vehicle during a test run at the experiment.

    “It was an honor to see our capability being operated by end users,” said Byron Boots, co-founder and chief executive officer of Overland AI. “They could see firsthand how fully autonomous tactical vehicles can help accomplish their mission with increased speed and tactical options, derisking these operations to keep Soldiers out of harm’s way.”

    Overland AI remains committed to advancing autonomous military technologies, having previously secured an $18.6 million contract with the U.S. Army and the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to develop autonomy software for the Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle (RCV) program. The company continues to support a range of U.S. military programs, including the U.S. Army, Marine Corps, and Special Operations Command.

  • MIL-OSI: Shelter of Exiles Achieves Incredible Milestone, Securing Its Spot Among the Top Play-to-Earn Games on TON

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WOLSZTYN, Poland, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Just a few weeks after its Token Generation Event (TGE) on March 11, 2025, Shelter of Exiles (SOEX) has already cemented its position among the top Play-to-Earn (P2E) games on the TON blockchain. This remarkable feat highlights not only the strength of the game’s AI-driven gameplay and dynamic NFTs (dNFTs), but also its ability to rapidly capture the attention and support of a global gaming community.

    Despite being in its early stages, Shelter of Exiles has successfully carved out a space for itself in the rapidly growing Web3 gaming ecosystem. The TGE, which marked the official launch of $SOEX, the game’s native token, was a significant milestone that set the stage for a promising future, with early players and investors already reaping the rewards of the game’s innovative economy.

    Shelter of Exiles stands out for its fusion of blockchain and AI. Built on the TON blockchain, the game offers players an expansive, evolving world where creatures evolve into dynamic NFTs that grow stronger over time, learn new skills, and provide passive income. This innovative approach to gameplay is further enhanced by AI agents, which automate many aspects of the game, from resource management to battle strategies—allowing players to earn rewards even while they’re offline.

    What truly sets Shelter of Exiles apart from other P2E games is its ability to merge AI agents with blockchain technology. This combination provides a deeply personalized experience, as dNFTs evolve based on player activity. Creatures in Shelter of Exiles do not simply stay static; they grow stronger, gain new abilities, and can be traded, sold, or upgraded as they progress.

    By incorporating AI-powered automation, players don’t need to be constantly active to continue making progress or earning rewards. Whether it’s battling enemies, managing resources, or staking assets for additional benefits, the AI agents in Shelter of Exiles allow for passive gameplay, generating consistent rewards and encouraging long-term investment in the game’s evolving world.

    Shelter of Exiles is a game-changer in the Play-to-Earn (P2E) ecosystem thanks to its innovative AI-driven passive income and seamless blockchain integration. Players can earn rewards even while not actively playing, as AI-powered automation and dynamic NFTs allow creatures to grow, learn new skills, and generate income without requiring constant player input. This unique system provides an engaging and sustainable income model for players, setting SoE apart from traditional P2E games. Built on the TON blockchain, SoE’s decentralized economy ensures transparency, security, and true ownership of digital assets, allowing players to trade, stake, and upgrade with confidence.

    With its community showing incredible engagement through Telegram Mini-App integration, which allows for seamless cross-platform access, social events, and global connectivity. The dynamic NFTs in the game offer evolving gameplay, incentivizing players to invest in long-term strategies as their creatures grow stronger over time. This constantly evolving gameplay ensures that players remain immersed and motivated to continue exploring the world of SoE, fostering a fresh and rewarding experience that keeps players coming back.

    Though Shelter of Exiles is still young, the game’s rapid success and growing momentum show it’s on track to become a dominant force in the Web3 gaming landscape. With a strong community and AI-powered mechanics that set it apart from traditional games, SOEX is well-positioned to expand its ecosystem, attracting both players and investors alike.

    As more players discover the passive income opportunities and dynamic gameplay that SOEX provides, the game is set to continue growing and evolving. The future of Shelter of Exiles is bright, and its success on the TON blockchain is only the beginning of what promises to be an exciting journey in the world of Web3 gaming.

    About Shelter of Exiles:

  • MIL-OSI: Hakimo secures $10.5M to transform physical security with human-like autonomous security agent

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Menlo Park, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With surging crime rates, acute security staffing shortages, and mounting false alarms, organizations are desperately seeking smarter ways to strengthen their security while reducing costs. Today, Hakimo, a leader in AI-powered physical security monitoring, announced a $10.5 million funding round and the launch of AI Operator, a breakthrough autonomous security agent that monitors existing security hardware, detects threats in real time, and executes response protocols just like a human security professional. 

    The Series A funding round was led by Vertex Ventures and Zigg Capital with participation from RXR Arden Digital Ventures and existing investors Defy.vc and Gokul Rajaram. Hakimo has now raised a total of $20.5 million, including prior funding rounds led by Neotribe Ventures and Rocketship.vc.

    Hakimo founders: Sam Joseph and Sagar Honnungar.

    Hakimo’s AI Operator combines computer vision and generative AI to monitor existing security hardware such as cameras and badge readers. Unlike conventional systems, it can detect any anomaly or potential threat that can be described in words – a breakthrough in physical security monitoring. Beyond detection, the system issues real-time speaker warnings and executes standard operating procedures (SOPs) to respond to incidents, with human operators providing intervention only when necessary. This AI-human collaboration delivers superior protection at a fraction of the cost of traditional security approaches.

    “Hakimo has pioneered a new era of AI-driven security by creating an intelligent AI agent that understands and responds to threats like never before. We’re not just automating security—we’re redefining it with AI that can recognize and act on any security event and deliver unmatched protection for businesses worldwide.” said Sam Joseph, Co-Founder & CEO of Hakimo

    Hakimo was founded in early 2020 by Sam Joseph and Sagar Honnungar, Stanford-trained AI experts with backgrounds in building enterprise-grade software as a service (SaaS). The duo launched Hakimo after identifying converging trends: exploding camera deployments, plummeting hardware costs, and rapid advancements in computer vision. The founders recognized the potential for AI to reinvent physical security and have since assembled a talented, growing team of engineers and industry professionals to execute their vision of autonomous security monitoring.

    Hakimo’s solution comes at a critical inflection point for physical security. The traditional manned guarding industry struggles with severe hiring and quality challenges, while alarm monitoring services face growing issues with false alarms and police departments increasingly refusing to respond to unverified alerts. By leveraging existing cameras, AI capabilities, and remote operators, Hakimo eliminates these challenges while offering the advantages of both on-site guards and traditional alarm systems.

    Hakimo technology has a vast range of use cases including detecting tailgating.

    The company has experienced explosive growth over the past year, tripling its customer base and securing more than a hundred clients across diverse industries including multifamily apartments, car dealerships, construction sites, and Fortune 500 enterprises. In 2024 alone, Hakimo’s technology prevented thousands of security incidents, assisted law enforcement in multiple arrests, and even saved a life. “We got a drastic reduction in trespassing right after deploying Hakimo, and I now sleep better at night with the peace-of-mind provided by Hakimo’s AI agent,” said Rodrigo Duran, General Manager at Kia Santa Maria, one of those customers. 

    The technology’s impact extends beyond the scope of traditional security applications. Its ability to monitor multiple sites simultaneously while maintaining human-level reasoning has proven transformative for businesses seeking comprehensive security without the escalating costs and reliability issues of conventional approaches.

    Commenting on the investment, Piyush Kharbanda, General Partner of Vertex Ventures SEA & India said, “We are very excited to partner with the Hakimo team, who are bringing ground-up technological innovation to the large but antiquated physical security industry. There is a dire need for innovation, as current solutions lack the speed or accuracy to offer affordable real-time protection for offline businesses. Hakimo bridges this gap with an AI + Services approach, coupling the speed of cutting-edge vision AI algorithms with the reliability of humans-in-the-loop, thus delivering a 10x better service at more affordable rates.”

    Ryan Orley, Managing Partner at Zigg Capital added: “After studying the security monitoring ecosystem, our team concluded that Hakimo’s AI + Services solution is more robust and offers better value than any other technology we have encountered. Hakimo’s capabilities at its accessible price point are without peer. In fact, I became a Hakimo customer before our firm’s investment”.

    “Hakimo is transforming physical security with AI, delivering real-time threat detection and smarter operations,” said Neil Sequeira, Founder & Partner, Defy.vc. At Defy, we back bold teams tackling big challenges, and Sam and Sagar’s vision aligns perfectly with that mission. We’re excited to support Hakimo as they scale and set a new standard for AI-powered security.”

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WISeSat Prepares for June Launch of Its Second-Generation Satellite and Expands Global Footprint

    WISeSAT.space will be attending the 40thSpace Symposium in Colorado Springs from April 6-10, 2025 (booth #808 located in the South Hall)

    Geneva, Switzerland – March 27, 2025 – WISeKey International Holding (“WISeKey” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: WKEY; SIX: WIHN), a leading global cybersecurity, AI, and IoT company, alongside its subsidiary WISeSat.Space (“WISeSat”) today announces that the launch of its second-generation satellite is scheduled for June 2025. This follows the successful deployment of WISeSat’s first NDR-generation satellite in January 2025 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Spaceport in California. The satellite launched in January is currently in orbit and its location can be tracked via https://wisesat.wisekey.com/?tags=WISeSat.

    This second-generation launch marks an important milestone in WISeSat’s vision to build a European constellation of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites, designed to provide secure communications for the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G (in progress), RSSI, SIGINT, SEALCOIN for transactional IoT (tIoT) and post-quantum cybersecurity capabilities across the globe.

    The 2025 satellite launches build on the earlier success of WISeSat in collaboration with FOSSA Systems, which saw the launch of 17 picosatellites to test the resilience and performance of its core technologies. These tests laid the foundations for the current generation of satellites, which as of June will be equipped with more robust security protocols and a post-quantum cryptographic infrastructure developed by SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) (“SEALSQ”), a WISeKey subsidiary.

    WISeSat also announced a new strategic partnership with Skyroot Aerospace in India. This collaboration will diversify launch operations by enabling satellites to be deployed on alternative orbital trajectories, optimizing constellation coverage and efficiency. The partnership also includes the possibility of manufacturing satellites on Indian soil, to Indian specifications, thereby strengthening WISeSat’s global production and launch capabilities.

    By the end of 2025, WISeSat satellites will be able to carry out transactions in SEALCOIN tokens with each other and with connected objects on Earth, forming a secure, autonomous mesh for machine-to-machine (M2M) transactions. This innovation will create a financial and data exchange infrastructure in space, where connected machines will be digitally certified via a “Know Your Object” (KYO) protocol. The KYO process integrates Wecan’s technology and WISeID’s WISeKey platform, guaranteeing reliable identity and accountability throughout the ecosystem.

    Each WISeSat satellite is built with:

    • Post-quantum cryptographic chips from SEALSQ.
    • WISeKey root of trust and WISeID digital identity infrastructure.
    • Hedera’s Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for decentralized, forgery-proof data integrity.

    This technological foundation positions WISeSat as a global leader in secure satellite-based IoT infrastructure.

    “Our vision is to become the first low-orbit satellite constellation enabling secure Internet of Things connectivity and trusted communications anywhere in the world,” said Carlos Moreira, founder and CEO of WISeKey. “With upcoming launches, new international partnerships and post-quantum capabilities, we offer the next frontier in decentralized and secure space infrastructure.”

    About WISeSat.Space
    WISeSat.Space AG is pioneering a transformative approach to IoT connectivity and climate change monitoring through its innovative satellite constellation. By providing cost-effective, secure, and global IoT connectivity, WISeSat is enabling a wide range of applications that support environmental monitoring, disaster management, and sustainable practices.

    Unlike traditional S&P 500 funds, XMAG tracks the BITA US 500 ex-Magnificent 7 Index, offering exposure to the largest 500 U.S. equities while deliberately excluding the Mag 7. This strategic design has paid off handsomely this year, delivering robust returns and stability at a time when overexposure to these tech titans has dragged down broader market performance. As the S&P 500 struggles under the weight of the Mag 7’s decline, XMAG stands out as a core replacement for large-cap exposure—a direct, smarter alternative to the S&P 500.

    “Investors and advisors have long been overexposed to the Magnificent 7 through mutual funds, ETFs, and individual stock portfolios,” said Sylvia Jablonski, CEO and CIO of Defiance ETFs. “This year’s market dynamics have exposed the risks of that concentration, and XMAG has proven its worth as a powerful solution. It’s not just about dodging the Mag 7 crash—it’s about delivering diversified, resilient returns that redefine large-cap investing.”

    With the Mag 7’s dominance waning, XMAG offers a timely and effective way to rebalance portfolios, reduce risk, and capture the strength of the broader U.S. equity market. Its performance in 2025 underscores its role as an essential tool for advisors and investors looking to pivot away from tech-heavy strategies and embrace a more balanced approach to growth.

    “XMAG isn’t a niche play—it’s a core holding,” Jablonski added. “It’s the diversification investors have been craving, and the results speak for themselves. As the market evolves, XMAG is setting a new standard for large-cap exposure.”

    Large-Capitalization Investing. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion.

    New Fund Risk. The Fund is a recently organized management investment company with no operating history. As a result, prospective investors do not have a track record or history on which to base their investment decisions.

    Diversification does not ensure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.

  • MIL-OSI: Sagtec Global Enters Indonesia with Master Dealership for Cloud-Based Smart Ordering System, Targeting US$30 Million in Revenue

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sagtec Global Limited (NASDAQ: SAGT) (“Sagtec” or the “Company”), a leading provider of customizable software solutions, proudly announced its expansion to Indonesia through a Master Dealership Agreement with PT Kiwari Asih Solusi (“Kiwari”), appointing Kiwari as the exclusive master dealer for Sagtec’s Speed+ Could Base Smart Ordering System (“Speed+”).

    Kiwari has committed to a minimum annual purchase of 10,000 licenses, generating an estimated revenue of at least US$30 million over the next five years. This strategic partnership is designed to accelerate the adoption of Speed+ in Indonesia, driving digital transformation and enabling local businesses to modernize their operations to meet the growing demand for innovative digital solutions.

    According to Mordor Intelligence, Indonesia’s digital transformation market is projected to reach approximately US$60 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of nearly 20% from 2025 to 2030. This growth is driven by increasing technology adoption across various sectors, including food and beverage (F&B), which is expected to exceed US$250 billion by 2030, fueled by rising consumer spending and a growing middle class, as supported by Market Research. As consumer preferences evolve, Indonesian businesses are turning to digital solutions to streamline operations, enhance customer experience, and improve efficiency.

    In line with this trend, according to Grand View Research, the Asia Pacific cloud-based Point of Sale (POS) market is expected to expand at a CAGR of almost 20% from 2024 to 2030, driven by the region’s booming retail sector and increasing mobile and internet adoption. This presents a significant opportunity for Speed+ to tap into a tech-savvy market that is primed for digital ordering solutions.

    “Securing this Master Dealership Agreement with PT Kiwari Asih Solusi represents a significant milestone in our expansion strategy for Southeast Asia. Indonesia offers a unique growth opportunity, fueled by its rapidly developing digital economy and increasing demand for innovative cloud-based solutions. With Speed+, we are excited to empower local businesses to optimize their operations and stay ahead in an increasingly competitive market,” said Kevin Ng, Chairman, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Sagtec.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)


    WRAP Expands Capabilities: Leveraging Investigative Expertise in Financial Crimes, Crypto and Cybersecurity to Commercialize Managed Services Offering

    MIAMI, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Wrap Technologies, Inc, (NASDAQ: WRAP) (“Wrap” or, the “Company”), a global leader in innovative public safety technologies and non-lethal tools, today announced the appointment of Robert Heuchling as Managing Director of the Company, bringing over 15 years of experience from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) and providing advisory services to the Company’s executive team.

    Wrap plans to expand its managed service business lines, with Mr. Heuchling expected to play a key role in commercializing an offering that combines his investigative expertise with his deep familiarity with a wide range of investigative data sets, tools and technologies. Wrap also plans to develop unique technology solutions that integrate advanced investigative capabilities, empowering agencies to address complex financial crimes, cyber threats and transnational law enforcement challenges with greater efficiency and precision.

    While at the FBI, Mr. Heuchling supervised a squad based in New York City responsible for foreign corruption, international money laundering and antitrust investigations. In that role, Mr. Heuchling forged relationships with law enforcement agencies across the globe and developed strategies to collaborate with foreign counterparts to solve complex transnational crime cases.

    Mr. Heuchling will once again be working with his former FBI supervisor, Bill McMurry, Chief Executive Officer of Managed Services. Together, Mr. McMurry and Mr. Heuchling led the U.S. investigation into 1Malaysia Development Berhad, or 1MDB, a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund from which more than $4.5 billion was stolen through a complex fraud and corruption scheme involving individuals from multiple countries. The investigation resulted in the largest asset recovery in U.S. Department of Justice history and is considered a model for success in international investigations.

    Jared Novick, President of Wrap, stated: “The addition of Rob Heuchling, joining his former colleague Bill McMurry at Wrap, provides our global clients and the agencies we support with a unique opportunity to leverage their unparalleled expertise alongside our advanced technologies. We believe their deep investigative experience in financial crimes, cyber threats and transnational law enforcement, combined with Wrap’s cutting-edge solutions, will allow us to deliver unmatched support for the most pressing challenges facing law enforcement and security professionals worldwide. We are thrilled to have them on board as we expand our managed services and drive innovation in public safety.”

    Background

    Prior to joining the FBI, Mr. Heuchling served as an engineer and communications officer in the United States Navy. He is a graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and has received numerous accolades from both the FBI and the military. His honors include:

    • the Assistant Attorney General’s Exceptional Service Award;
    • the Federal Law Enforcement Foundation’s “Investigator of the Year” Award;
    • the FBI Medal of Excellence; and
    • the Naval Commendation Medal.

In addition, Carlyle incurred $5.0 million in transaction costs on behalf of CGBD to mitigate the expense impact of the merger.

    Justin Plouffe, Chief Executive Officer of CGBD, said, “We are pleased to announce the closing of the merger transaction and thank our shareholders for their support of this strategic initiative. Building on CGBD’s momentum in 2024, we look forward to continuing to execute CGBD’s strategy with greater scale and seamless integration to deliver consistent income and returns for shareholders of the combined company.”

  • MIL-OSI: AMERICAN REBEL UPDATE: 1-FOR-25 REVERSE STOCK SPLIT UPDATED EFFECTIVE DATE IS MARCH 31, 2025, AS PER NASDAQ PROCESSING ROUND LOT (100 SHARE) SHAREHOLDER PROTECTION FRACTIONAL SHARE ROUND UP TO NEAREST WHOLE SHARE

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Nashville, TN, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) — America’s Patriotic Brand (the “Company”), today announced that it will effect a reverse stock split of its outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a ratio of 1-for-25, to be effective as of 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on March 31, 2025 as per NASDAQ.

    The Company’s Common Stock will begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the opening of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on Monday, March 31, 2025. Following the reverse stock split, the Common Stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “AREB” with the new CUSIP number, 02919L604. The reverse stock split is intended for the Company to:

    • Enhance Deposit (Ability) and Marketability: By increasing the share price, a reverse split can make the stock more eligible for trading on certain platforms
    • Continue to ensure compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of common stock for continued listing on Nasdaq.

    Important information:

    The reverse stock split will not change the authorized number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of shares of Common Stock. Further, no current owner of 100 or more shares will be reduced to less than 100 shares. In addition, the reverse stock split will apply to the Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s outstanding derivative securities, with proportionate adjustments to be made to the exercise prices and number of derivates thereof and under the Company’s equity incentive plans.

    • Round Lot Shareholder Protection to ensure that shareholders holding a “round lot” (typically 100 shares) are not adversely affected by the split.
        Example #1: If a shareholder holds 100 shares on the effective date, due to the Round Lot Shareholder Protection they will own 100 shares post-split after DTC/CEDE additional share issuance.
         
        The 100 shares pre-reverse would be adjusted via the 1:25 Ratio to one (1) share of common stock. An Additional 99 shares of common stock will be issued as per the Round Lot Shareholder Protection bringing the total to 100 shares of common stock.
         
        Example #2: If a shareholder holds 1,250 shares on the effective date, due to the Round Lot Shareholder Protection they will own 100 shares post-split after DTC/CEDE additional share issuance.
         
        The 1,250 shares pre-reverse would be adjusted via the 1:25 Ratio to fifty (50) shares of common stock. An Additional 50 shares of common stock will be issued as per the Round Lot Shareholder Protection bringing the total to 100 shares of common stock.
         
    • All Fractional Shares Rounded to nearest whole number. As a result of the reverse stock split all fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number
        Example #1: If a shareholder holds 40 shares on the effective date, due to the Fractional Share Rounding, they will own two (2) shares post-split after DTC/CEDE additional share issuance including fractional shares.
         
        The 40 shares pre-reverse would be adjusted via the 1:25 Ratio to 1.6 share of common stock. An Additional 0.6 share of common stock will be issued as per the Fractional Share Rounding bringing the total to 2 shares of common stock.
         

    The Company is committed to pro-actively protecting the interests of its stockholders, particularly those owning round lots of 100 or more shares. Stockholders holding at least 100 shares prior to the reverse stock split will retain a minimum of 100 shares post-split. This protection ensures that no stockholder who currently qualifies as a round lot holder will lose their status. Additionally, fractional shares resulting from the reverse stock split will be rounded up to the nearest whole share to maintain liquidity and shareholder equity.

    The reverse stock split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock from approximately 15.0 million to approximately 600 thousand, which does not include shares to be issued pursuant to the round lot rounding set forth above.

    On February 24, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock, at a ratio of up to 1-for-25, with such ratio to be determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and with the reverse stock split to be effected at such time and date, if at all, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion at any time within twelve (12) months of such stockholder approval. The Board approved the reverse stock split at a ratio of 1-for-25 on March 12, 2025.

    Securities Transfer Corporation is acting as the exchange agent and paying agent for the reverse stock split. Stockholders holding their shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

    The standard procedure is that DTC gathers all round up share requests from each participant within their system. After about 4 business DTC will send a request for the total amount of round up shares needed to cover all participants/beneficial holders. At that time, our transfer agent will make one issuance/deposit to CEDE (DTC).

    • Round up shares should populate in participant/beneficial holder accounts approximately on or before ten (10) trading days post the Reverse Stock Split.

    Securities Transfer Corporation will provide instructions to any stockholders with certificates regarding the process in connection with the exchange of pre-reverse stock split stock certificates for ownership in book-entry form or stock certificates on a post-reverse stock split basis. Stockholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or custodian with any procedural questions.

    As of March 26, 2025, the Company had 14,964,566 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

  • MIL-OSI: Drone Manufacturers Racing to Introduce Latest Technology as Global Aerial Survey Services Market Projected to Reach $790 Billion By 2031

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALM BEACH, Fla., March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — FN Media Group News Commentary – Many investors have been watching the drone industry consistently growing over the past years and are expecting the same expansions to continue. The popularity of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for aerial imagery is quickly expanding this market. A report from Verified Market Research said that the Aerial Survey Services Market size, which was valued at USD 22.67 Billion in 2024, is projected to reach USD 791.21 Billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 55.90% during the forecast period 2024-2031. The report added: “The rising use of drone services for industry-specific solutions, improved regulatory framework, and increased demand for qualitative data in various industries are projected to boost the expansion of the Drone Aerial Survey Services Market. Aerial imaging is being more widely used in defense applications. Natural calamities are becoming more common. Aerial camera systems have been improving steadily. Drone technology has attracted venture capital investment. During the forecast period, the enterprise segment of the Aerial Survey Services Market is expected to grow at the fastest rate. All industries benefit from enterprise solutions because they provide end-to-end services. The enterprise solution segment is being driven by the rising demand for analytical services and software solutions in the Aerial Survey Services Market.” Active Companies in the drone industry today include ZenaTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZENA), AgEagle Aerial Systems Inc. (NYSE: UAVS), Red Cat Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RCAT), AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV), KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR).

    Verified Market Research continued: “A rise in demand from a variety of industries is fueling the growth of the Drone Aerial Survey Services Market. Aerial photography is used in agriculture to track effective changes in yield production, crop health management, and soil improvement. Aerial imaging services are needed by the defense sector to protect border areas and prepare map structures. Aerial imaging services are also being used more widely in research and exploration, archaeological surveys, mining, oil and gas, and resource management. The Drone Aerial Survey Services Market is still in its early stages of development, and the expansion of application areas is expected to accelerate market growth over the forecast period. During the coronavirus pandemic, aerial imaging helped the construction industry. The benefits of aerial imaging for contracted surveying, onsite inspections, and design planning applications have been augmented by the construction, roofing, and solar industries.”

    ZenaTech (NASDAQ:ZENA) Signs LOI to Acquire Eighth Land Survey Company Advancing Drone as a Service in a $2.5 Billion US Drone Survey Market by 2033 – 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 that it has signed an LOI (Letter of Intent) to acquire an eighth land survey engineering company which marks the second LOI located in Arizona. Upon completion, these locations will serve as a launchpad to further Southwest regional development and contribute to the Company’s national DaaS business model intended to bring the speed and precision of ZenaDrone’s AI drone solutions in a convenient subscription or pay-per-use model for businesses and government users.

    “Arizona is strategic to our US operations as the base of our subsidiary ZenaDrone where our second drone manufacturing facility will be. Our vision with Drone as a Service is to capture part of the drone survey market that is growing by double-digits and is expected to reach USD $2.5 billion by 2033. We plan to build our national presence offering ZenaDrone products and services for land surveys and many other applications,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.

    According to Fact.MR, the global drone surveying market is poised for substantial growth and is expected to be worth over USD $8 billion globally by 2033 of which North America is expected to represent 35%. This market is expanding at a CAGR of over 19%, driven by increasing demand from industries such as construction, agriculture, and infrastructure development. Within the drone surveying market, land surveys represent 53%, with significant adoption in real estate, urban planning, environmental applications and infrastructure projects.

    Drones as a Service or DaaS works similarly to Software as a Service (SaaS), but instead of providing software over the internet, this business model offers drone technology solutions and services on a subscription or pay-per-use basis. With DaaS, businesses and government customers can conveniently access drones for tasks such as surveying, inspections, security, law enforcement, or precision agriculture solutions without having to buy, operate or maintain the drones themselves.

    ZenaTech’s DaaS model offers customers including government agencies, builders and real estate developers, construction firms and farmers reduced upfront costs as there is no need to purchase expensive drones, and convenience as the company manages maintenance and operation. DaaS also offers scalability to companies to use more often or less often based on their needs and enables access to advanced drone technology and applications without the need for specialized training or equipment.

    Accurate land surveys are essential for the planning, design, and execution 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.   Continued… Read this full release by visiting: https://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-zena/

    In Additional ZENA News: ZenaTech’s (NASDAQ:ZENA) ZenaDrone Developing Indoor Drone Swarm Application for Inventory Management and Security with Auto Parts Manufacturer Customer – ZenaTech, Inc. this week also announced its subsidiary ZenaDrone is developing a drone swarm application using multiple indoor IQ Nano drones for inventory management and security applications. ZenaDrone is conducting this development with its auto parts manufacturer customer where it is currently engaged in a paid trial.

    A drone swarm is a coordinated group of autonomous drones that communicate and work together using AI and real-time data sharing, to perform tasks collaboratively without direct human control. Drone swarms can enhance efficiency, accuracy, automation and performance compared to a single drone.

    “We are pioneering the development of autonomous drone swarm technology, revolutionizing indoor inventory management and warehouse security by providing real-time, more accurate stock tracking and surveillance with reduced manual processes. We believe this technology will enable warehouses to operate more efficiently, reduce costs, and enhance safety and security while setting a new industry standard for AI drones,” said CEO Shaun Passley, Ph.D.   Continued… Read this full release by visiting: https://www.zenatech.com/newsroom/

  • MIL-OSI: GeoRedox Announces New Stimulated Geologic Hydrogen Approach and Strategic Partnership with Sage Geosystems

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BOSTON, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — GeoRedox Corporation (GeoRedox) announced today it’s launching its Advanced Weathering Enhancement (AWE) technology to produce stimulated geologic hydrogen (SGH) at low-cost and at scale. Additionally, the company announced a new partnership with Sage Geosystems (Sage) to cooperate in the design, construction, and operation of an advanced field demonstration to produce SGH and to collaborate in future production projects. The partnership will include sharing of related technical expertise, data, and resources necessary for project planning and implementation.

    This effort builds on recent progress created by discoveries around the world of sizable deposits of geologic hydrogen that have accumulated in the earth’s crust through naturally occurring processes. Using advanced drilling and subsurface engineering techniques adapted from the oil and gas industry in combination with GeoRedox’s AWE technology, the collaboration with Sage seeks to accelerate those processes in much more widely distributed source rocks. The approach has the potential to enable the production of ultra-low-cost, carbon-free geologic hydrogen close to existing industrial hydrogen markets, and to provide hydrogen at large-scale carbon-free liquid fuel production in the future.

    According to ARPA-E, U.S. Department of Energy, while the supply of naturally accumulating hydrogen, in and of itself, can enhance the U.S. energy economy, reduced iron minerals within the Earth’s crust have the theoretical potential to produce even more hydrogen from reactions within the subsurface. Using stimulated mineralogical processes could yield larger quantities of hydrogen than what are produced naturally. Thus, engineering the production of subsurface hydrogen could yield a substantial source of clean energy.

    “This collaboration brings together unmatched breadth and depth of experience in geoscience and advanced subsurface engineering to make stimulated geologic hydrogen a reality,” said GeoRedox President Robert Stoner. “Our demonstration project will simultaneously validate our geochemical and thermodynamic models and at the same time show that we can deliver commercially compelling outcomes in real-world settings. We expect our hydrogen to compete unsubsidized in the 100-megaton existing global hydrogen market – and that’s just a beginning.”

    “Stimulated geologic hydrogen represents a new use case for the cutting-edge technologies we’ve developed at Sage,” said Cindy Taff, CEO of Sage. “Our work with GeoRedox positions Sage on the ground floor of a new global opportunity that we expect to grow alongside our Pressure Geothermal businesses.”

    GeoRedox’s partnership with Sage to develop stimulated geologic hydrogen signals a significant step forward in the use of subsurface knowledge and resources to create a secure new global energy economy.

    Construction of the field demonstration site is expected to begin in 2026.

    About GeoRedox Corporation
    GeoRedox Corporation is a Boston-based early-stage technology developer founded in 2024 by a group of scientists and engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) based in Boston, Massachusetts. It has developed proprietary technology for producing ultralow cost stimulated geologic hydrogen from a wide variety of rocks and formations. For more information, visit www.georedox.com.

  • MIL-OSI: Altus Group Releases Its 2025 Canadian Cost Guide

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TORONTO, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Altus Group Limited (“Altus Group” or the “Company”) (TSX: AIF), a leading provider of asset and fund intelligence for commercial real estate (“CRE”), today released its 2025 Canadian Cost Guide, an annual assessment of real estate development and infrastructure construction hard costs across all asset classes in major Canadian cities.

    For decades, industry professionals have relied on Altus Group’s Cost Guide to enhance the accuracy and predictability of construction cost estimates and evaluate project risks. Leveraging Altus’ insights from over 6,200 development projects spanning over 1.5 million square feet with a collective value exceeding C$521 billion, the Cost Guide covers hard costs of real estate development and infrastructure projects, delivering detailed insights by asset class, city, and on a per-square-foot or per-unit basis. Construction costs are influenced by both global and local economic conditions, market trends and advancements in building materials, practices and methods. The Cost Guide takes these factors into account to provide a resource for initial budgeting or as a benchmark for estimating costs across various regions and building types.

    “The 2025 Canadian Cost Guide shows that cost increases have been leveling off over the past year and are now more in line with general inflation,” said Colin Doran, Head of Development Advisory, Americas at Altus Group. “The big question is whether that stability will hold. With shifting trade policies, upcoming building code changes, and labour negotiations on the horizon, developers are facing a new wave of complexity—and that’s on top of already high construction costs. Staying agile and tapping into real-time data will be key to navigating what’s ahead.”

    “The threat of new tariffs could throw a wrench into the 2025 cost outlook,” added Peter Norman, Vice President and Economic Strategist at Altus Group. “Even if the immediate impact is muted, it’s still a wild card. It really depends on what goods are affected, how long tariffs stick around, and whether there’s any retaliation—all of which could drive costs even higher.”

    A copy of Altus Group’s 2025 Canadian Cost Guide can be downloaded here. To read an article with commentary on the 2025 Cost Guide from our experts, click here.
