KKR Sells Four Points Flex by Sheraton Portfolio in Japan

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Global investment firm KKR today announced that funds managed by KKR have completed the sale of a portfolio of 16 hotels across Japan operating under the Four Points Flex by Sheraton brand to a leading global institutional investor.

Located in 11 cities across major tourist destinations such as Greater Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Fukuoka, the portfolio is conveniently situated close to prime transportation links, world-class dining, and key business and leisure districts, providing consumers with quality, affordable accommodation amid a sustained rebound in international and domestic tourism.

KKR acquired the portfolio from Unizo Holdings in 2024, and subsequently undertook a comprehensive renovation and repositioning program. In strategic partnership with Marriott International, KKR launched the Four Points Flex by Sheraton brand in Asia Pacific, providing the hotels with access to Marriott’s global distribution network and Marriott Bonvoy loyalty base.

KJRM, one of Japan’s largest asset management companies, which KKR acquired in 2022, acted as the portfolio’s asset manager from acquisition through renovation and repositioning, and will continue to serve as the asset manager for the portfolio following the transaction. KJRM intends to work with the new owner to add further stabilized Japan hotel investments to the portfolio over time.

K+ Hospitality Management, KKR’s dedicated hotel operating platform in Japan, will continue operating the hotels following the sale, providing a platform for potential future growth.

Since acquiring the portfolio, KKR has undertaken a range of value creation initiatives, including:

• Executing a comprehensive renovation program to modernize the assets and deliver a consistent, welcoming guest experience throughout the portfolio;

• Enhancing the management team and reorganizing the corporate structure of the underlying hotel operating platform to strengthen oversight and decision-making;

• Introducing institutional budgeting, reporting, and revenue management practices to optimize pricing and occupancy;

• Strengthening the organization and enhancing HR practices to support long-term operational performance; and

• Leveraging KJRM’s asset management capabilities and K+ Hospitality Management’s operating expertise to support the renovation, repositioning, and ongoing performance of the portfolio.

David Cheong, Head of Acquisitions for KKR’s Asia Real Estate team, said, “We saw an opportunity to reposition this portfolio for Japan’s growing demand for high-quality, accessible accommodation, and we’re proud of what we’ve built with Marriott, leveraging KJRM and K+ Hospitality’s capabilities. We look forward to continuing to grow both platforms, and pursuing new opportunities across Japan’s hospitality sector. Japan remains one of the most important markets for our real estate strategy, and we have strong conviction in the long-term fundamentals of the country’s hospitality and broader real estate sector.”

KKR continues to be highly active in Japan’s real estate sector, which today includes a portfolio of Sapporo Real Estate – a diverse mix of commercial, office, and residential assets including Yebisu Garden Place in Tokyo – as well as multifamily properties and office assets across Japan, among others.

Additional details of the transaction have not been disclosed.

PLAYSTUDIOS Announces 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split and Provides an Update on Stock Repurchases

Class A Common Stock Expected to Begin Trading on a Split-Adjusted Basis on October 1, 2026

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (Nasdaq: MYPS) (the “Company”) today announced that it will effect a 1-for-10 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and, together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”).

The Reverse Stock Split will become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 30, 2026 (the “Effective Time”). The Company’s Class A Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of trading on October 1, 2026 under the existing ticker symbol “MYPS.”

The Company also announced that, during the third quarter of 2026 through September 24, it has repurchased approximately 4.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3.0 million, or an average price of approximately $0.71 per share, in open-market transactions pursuant to its existing Rule 10b5-1 share repurchase plan. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to return capital to stockholders, including through additional share repurchases under its existing authorization and other potential capital return initiatives.

At the Effective Time, every 10 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be combined into one share of Class A Common Stock, and every 10 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will automatically be combined into one share of Class B Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will not change the par value of the Common Stock or the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will apply equally to both classes of Common Stock and will not change the relative voting rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share will instead receive cash in lieu of the fractional share in an amount equal to the fraction multiplied by the official closing price of the Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market on September 30, 2026, as adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split.

Proportionate adjustments will be made, as applicable and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity plans, to the number of shares subject to outstanding equity awards, the applicable exercise prices of outstanding stock options, and the number of shares available for future issuance under the Company’s equity plans.

The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and is being implemented to support the Company’s efforts to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Registered stockholders holding their shares electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-split shares or cash in lieu of fractional shares, if applicable. Stockholders who hold shares through a broker, bank or other nominee will have their positions adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and will receive cash in lieu of any fractional share interests through their broker, bank or other nominee, subject to the applicable intermediary’s processing procedures. The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split will be 72815G306.

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, will act as the exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split. Registered stockholders holding certificated shares will receive instructions regarding the exchange of their shares and should not submit their certificates until instructed to do so.

ComEd Hourly Pricing Program Reaches Record Participation, While Saving Customers $63 Million Since 2007

More than 70,000 residential customers enrolled in ComEd’s Hourly Pricing program, taking advantage of lower energy supply prices by shifting energy use to times when electricity demand is lower on the grid

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ComEd today announced that customers participating in its Hourly Pricing program have saved more than $63 million on electricity supply costs to date while helping reduce energy demand during periods of peak electricity use. The program has reached a record 70,000 residential customers following its largest single year of growth since launching in 2007. More than 80 percent of participants reduced their electricity supply costs compared with ComEd’s standard fixed-price supply rate in 2025.

ComEd’s Hourly Pricing offers customers the unique opportunity to pay electricity supply prices that vary by hour based on the real-time market conditions. By shifting energy-intensive activities such as charging electric vehicles, running appliances and cooling homes to lower-priced hours, participants can save on their monthly energy bills. The program also helps reduce demand during periods of peak electricity use, creating broader benefits for the electric system and electricity markets.

“Keeping energy bills as low as possible and helping customers manage their energy costs continues to be among the highest priorities,” said Ajit Apte, senior vice president of customer operations for ComEd. “The success of Hourly Pricing demonstrates that when customers have tools and information to make informed energy decisions, they can save money, reduce strain on the electric grid and contribute to a cleaner energy future. As participation continues to grow, especially among electric vehicle owners and customers with solar generation, programs like Hourly Pricing can help customers take advantage of the benefits of an increasingly electrified future.”

Hourly Pricing experienced unprecedented growth during 2025, adding over 16,000 new participants. Last year, the program delivered nearly $6.3 million in cumulative electricity supply savings to participating customers. Participants in ComEd’s Hourly Pricing program saved an average of $166 on annual electricity supply charges in 2025.

Growth was fueled in part by increasing adoption of electric vehicles and customer-owned solar and battery storage. In 2025, the number of participants with solar generation increased 109 percent to more than 8,000 customers, while self-reported electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid ownership among participants increased 69 percent to almost 22,000 customers. Nearly 30 percent of all 2025 enrollments were connected to ComEd’s Electric Vehicle Charger and Installation Rebate Program.

“I am retired and can alter my electric usage easily by rearranging when I do tasks throughout the day. When living on a reduced income, every opportunity to lower my electric bill is welcome. Thanks for making it possible,” said Deb H., a ComEd Hourly Pricing participant since 2019.

Hourly Pricing benefits extended beyond participant savings in 2025. Independent analysis found that the program generated approximately $22.8 million in net benefits across the PJM regional power system, which manages the flow of wholesale electricity across the District of Columbia and 13 states, including Illinois. This occurred when participants shifted electricity use away from high-demand periods, which helped reduce strain on the grid, lower capacity costs and reduce wholesale electricity prices for consumers across the broader market.

The program also generated nearly $1 million in environmental benefits through reductions in carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions and achieved an estimated aggregate peak load reduction of nearly 14 megawatts (MW), demonstrating how smart energy management tools can help customers lower costs while supporting a more efficient and reliable electric grid.

“We’re proud to be a long-term partner in ComEd’s Hourly Pricing,” said Dr. Anne Evens, CEO of Elevate, which administers the program. “Participants saved an average of $166 on their annual supply charges, a powerful reminder that small changes when we use energy can make a big difference. We look forward to seeing this program help even more households lower their energy bills in the years ahead.”

ComEd continues to expand the range of time-varying rate options available to help customers manage electricity supply costs. While Hourly Pricing allows participants to pay market-based electricity supply prices that change every hour, ComEd’s newer Time of Day Pricing program offers predictable pricing structures with defined lower-cost periods for shifting energy use.

For customers who may be struggling to keep up with energy bills, ComEd also offers the Smart Assistance Manager (ComEd.com/SAM), a free online tool designed to help customers quickly identify financial assistance programs, payment arrangements, bill-management options and energy-saving programs that may fit their individual circumstances.

ComEd is a unit of Chicago-based Exelon Corporation (NASDAQ: EXC), a Fortune 200 company and one of the nation’s largest utility companies, serving more than 10.7 million electricity and natural gas customers.

Lancet Neurology Study Using Alamar Biosciences’ Technology Reveals Divergent Biological Responses to Alzheimer’s Treatment

Blood biomarkers associated with amyloid clearance differ from those associated with cognitive decline in patients receiving lecanemab

FREMONT, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alamar Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALMR), a leader in precision proteomics dedicated to enabling the earliest detection of disease, today announced the publication in The Lancet Neurology of the first longitudinal cohort study to evaluate a broad panel of plasma biomarkers in patients receiving anti-amyloid antibody therapy in real-world clinical practice. The study shows that patients with early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease exhibit markedly different biological responses during treatment with lecanemab.

Led by investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, the study used Alamar’s NULISAseq™ CNS 120 panel to measure 130 plasma proteins spanning amyloid and tau pathology, inflammation, neurodegeneration and synaptic function. Researchers profiled 2,385 samples from 1,967 participants using just 25 microliters of plasma per sample, including patients receiving lecanemab as part of standard clinical care at the Washington University Memory Diagnostic Center and untreated comparison groups from the Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center.

“Anti-amyloid therapies are now part of routine care, but until now we have had a very narrow window into what is actually happening biologically in the patients receiving them,” said Carlos Cruchaga, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry and director of the NeuroGenomics and Informatics Center at Washington University School of Medicine, and co-senior author of the study. “Our findings show that Alzheimer’s disease and neurodegeneration biomarkers have unique trajectories that capture specific biological process associated with treatment response.”

The proteins associated with amyloid clearance were largely different from those associated with subsequent cognitive decline. The findings show that amyloid clearance and cognitive response reflect different biological processes, helping explain why clearing amyloid does not produce the same degree of clinical benefit in every patient, a pattern observed both in this cohort and across anti-amyloid trials.

Additionally, among 197 patients treated with lecanemab, 34 of the 130 biomarkers measured significantly changed with the number of infusions received, and they did not all move in the same direction. Among the proteins that most strongly distinguished these patients from controls, the brain-derived forms of tau consistently outperformed the same proteins circulating in the periphery, accounting for four of the top five both before treatment and at the last infusion stage. Separating tau that originates in the brain from its systemic counterpart requires both high specificity for the brain-derived form and the sensitivity to detect it at very low concentrations. Measuring these variants alongside more than 100 additional proteins in a single sample is what allowed the investigators to track pathology and treatment response in one assay.

“This study shows why measuring one or two biomarkers is not enough to understand what is happening during treatment and why ultra-high sensitivity matters,” said Yuling Luo, PhD, founder, CEO and chair of Alamar Biosciences. “Alamar’s precision proteomics platform gives researchers a much richer picture of treatment response and helps us understand why patients with the same diagnosis can have very different outcomes.”

About Alamar Biosciences 
Alamar is a commercial-stage proteomics company establishing a gold standard in protein detection and analysis. Leveraging our proprietary NULISA™ technology and the ARGO® HT System, our platform is designed to detect protein biomarkers at extremely low concentrations in blood with ultra-high sensitivity, high specificity, flexible multiplexing, broad dynamic range and seamless automation. We refer to this combination of features as “Precision Proteomics,” and believe it fills a critical gap in the field of advanced proteomics, helping researchers unlock the full spectrum of protein biomarkers across disease states. Learn more at alamarbio.com.

50-Acre Puget Sound Multifamily Asset Sale Brokered by Institutional Property Advisors

50-Acre Puget Sound Multifamily Asset Sale Brokered by Institutional Property Advisors

BOTHELL, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Institutional Property Advisors (IPA), a division of Marcus & Millichap (NYSE:MMI) dedicated to serving the company’s institutional clients, announced today the sale of Griffis North Creek, a 524-unit multifamily property in Bothell, Washington.

“Griffis North Creek is an institutional-quality asset situated on nearly 50 acres of land in one of the region’s most dynamic employment hubs, a combination that is increasingly difficult to replicate in today’s market,” said Giovanni Napoli, IPA executive managing director investments. “Griffis Residential completed high-end renovations to 43% of the units and common areas, providing the buyer with a strong foundation and a clear path to upgrade the remaining units. The buyer intends to build on these improvements by continuing renovations throughout the property.” Napoli, Philip Assouad, Ryan Harmon, Nick Ruggiero, and Anthony Palladino of IPA represented the seller, Griffis Residential, and procured the buyer, GID.

“Seattle’s Eastside continues to stand out for its concentration of high-paying employment and the long-term demand drivers that support multifamily housing,” said Andrew Leahy, national director of IPA Multifamily. “At the same time, development constraints and the cost of new construction make communities of this scale increasingly difficult to replicate, strengthening the competitive position of established assets such as Griffis North Creek.”

The property is in Bothell’s tech and biomedical corridor within the Seattle area’s Eastside region in a neighborhood with average annual household income over $142,000. Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Meta, and Apple have offices within a short drive. The Canyon Park and Parklands North Creek business centers are nearby, and Alderwood shopping center provides nearby retail and dining options.

Built in 1999, Griffis North Creek is bordered by greenbelts on two sides, and a greenbelt and creek run through the grounds. The property is composed of 23 three-story buildings with stone façades and iron railings. Community amenities include wooded walking trails, pagodas, footbridges, a renovated central clubhouse and lounge, a heated swimming pool and spa, two playgrounds, and a fenced-in dog park. All units have a private deck or patio, full-size washers and dryers, walk-in closets, and linen closets. The unit mix is one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments with an average size of 835 square feet.

ACM Queue Publishes CAFE(S): A Framework for Improving AI Coding Agent Effectiveness

ACM Queue publishes new research establishing five dimensions of context quality.

TEAM Anywhere/SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Atlassian Corporation (NASDAQ: TEAM), a leading provider of AI-powered collaboration and team productivity software, today announced that researchers from DX (a subsidiary of Atlassian Corporation), Capital One, GitHub, the University of Victoria, and Google published CAFE(S), a diagnostic framework designed to evaluate the context provided to AI agents. Published in ACM Queue, the research establishes an industry standard for diagnosing, designing, and maintaining the information environments that power AI coding agents across the software development lifecycle.

As software engineering organizations scale investments in AI coding agents, task failures are often attributed to issues with model capabilities or harness orchestration. However, research demonstrates that even frontier models degrade when provided with ambiguous, incomplete, or stale context.

The CAFE(S) framework introduces a shared diagnostic vocabulary for platform teams, developer productivity leaders, and software engineers to evaluate assembled context across five dimensions:

1. Clarity: Can the agent interpret the request the way the person intended? Ambiguity is often invisible to the person writing the request. CAFE(S) helps teams ensure the agent understands the work the same way a teammate would.
2. Actionability: Does the agent have clear goals, useful boundaries, and a way to know when it is done? A request can be clear but still leave out the goal, say too little about the constraints, or give no way to tell that the work is finished.
3. Fidelity: Is the context true at the moment the agent reads it? Accuracy decays over time. Stale documentation, old architectural decisions, and conflicting sources lead agents down the wrong path.
4. Efficiency: Is the context scoped to the task, without unnecessary token load? More context is not always better. Passing an entire repository when an agent needs a single function inflates costs and degrades performance.
5. Security: Should the agent have this context at all? The “S” is kept at a remove because the first four dimensions determine whether context helps the task, whereas security asks if the context is fundamentally appropriate, compliant, and safe to access in the first place.

“AI does not create a new need for good knowledge management; it dramatically increases the cost of poor knowledge management. When agents receive poor context, they are forced to guess. That forces humans to spend their time compensating for avoidable mistakes, creating developer rework, token waste, and reliability risks. CAFE(S) treats context quality as a first-class engineering discipline that teams can deliberately design, evaluate, and maintain.” – Brian Houck, Distinguished Scientist at DX and co-author of the paper

The research emphasizes that capable models alone are insufficient to ensure reliable task completion and stronger delivery outcomes. Teams that systematically strengthen the information environments feeding their agents will see better results. CAFE(S) becomes a quality scorecard for context, designed to sit on top of the existing stack.

What’s next?

This research defines a framework, not a measurement system. Future work will be needed to develop reliable ways of assessing these properties at scale, and to understand how improvements in context quality influence collaboration, software delivery, and organizational outcomes. But meaningful measurement requires a shared definition of what is being measured. Before teams can improve context quality, they need a vocabulary for discussing it.
