CASE ALLEGATIONS: AEVEX operates as a defense technology contractor and enabler of the U.S. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) dominance strategy mission. AEVEX operates in two segments, Tactical Systems and Global Solutions. The complaint alleges that in its April 2026 IPO, AEVEX sold 18.4 million shares of common stock.

The AEVEX class action lawsuit alleges that in the IPO’s offering documents and throughout the Class Period defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that despite conveying a commitment to follow a 180-day “lock-up” and therefore prevent Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC from selling its Class A common stock or converting or exchanging its Class B or LLC Units into Class A common stock for public sale until at least October 13, 2026, defendants concealed a pre-arranged plan between Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., and Jefferies LLC to prematurely abrogate that commitment and allow for a secondary public offering (“SPO”) shortly after the IPO.

On June 1, 2026, after the market closed, AEVEX allegedly filed a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-1 announcing AEVEX’ intention to sell eight million more shares of Class A common stock to the investing public via an SPO. On this news, the price of Aevex Class A common stock fell approximately 16%, according to the complaint.

On June 5, 2026, AEVEX filed a final prospectus, dated June 3, 2026, with the SEC on Form 424B4, which, together with the registration statement, formed the offering documents for the SPO. The offering documents for the SPO allegedly disclosed the existence of the defendants’ pre-arranged plan to waive Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC’s “lock-up” restrictions. On this news, the price of Aevex Class A common stock fell 7% further, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired AEVEX Class A common stock pursuant and/or traceable to the IPO’s offering documents and/or during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the AEVEX class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the AEVEX investor class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the AEVEX shareholder class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the AEVEX class action lawsuit.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) announced today the expiration of the previously announced cash tender offer (the “2028 Notes Tender Offer”) by its operating partnership, Brandywine Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), for up to $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount (the “2028 Series Cap”) of its outstanding 7.550% guaranteed notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”). The Operating Partnership previously announced that it had extended its cash tender offer (the “2029 Notes Tender Offer” and, together with the 2028 Notes Tender Offer, the “Tender Offers”) for its outstanding 8.875% guaranteed notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”) and increased the aggregate principal amount applicable to the 2029 Notes that it would accept (the “2029 Series Cap”) from $50,000,000 to $70,000,000, resulting in a corresponding increase in the aggregate maximum tender amount (the “Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount”) from $100,000,000 to $120,000,000. The 2028 Notes Tender Offer expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 21, 2026 (the “2028 Notes Expiration Date”) pursuant to the Operating Partnership’s Offer to Purchase, dated August 17, 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase”). As of the 2028 Notes Expiration Date, $327,405,000 or approximately 93.5% of the $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Notes had been validly tendered and not withdrawn in the 2028 Notes Tender Offer. The Operating Partnership accepted for purchase $50,000,000 of the 2028 Notes validly tendered and delivered (and not validly withdrawn) in the 2028 Notes Tender Offer at or prior to the 2028 Notes Expiration Date, subject to the 2028 Series Cap and proration. The 2029 Notes Tender Offer remains open and its expiration date has been extended to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 27, 2026. Payment for the 2028 Notes purchased pursuant to the 2028 Notes Tender Offer is intended to be made on August 25, 2026 (the “2028 Notes Settlement Date”).

Certain information regarding the 2028 Notes is set forth in the table below.

(1) As of the date of this press release, as a result of downgrades in our senior unsecured credit ratings since the date of issuance of the 2028 Notes, the interest rate on the 2028 Notes has increased an aggregate of 75 bps to 8.30% due to the coupon adjustment provisions in the 2028 Notes.

(2) No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP Numbers listed in this press release. They are provided solely for the convenience of the Holders (as defined herein) of the Notes.

(3) As of the date of this press release.

The 2028 Notes validly tendered will be subject to a proration factor of approximately 15.3%, with appropriate adjustments downward to the nearest $1,000 principal amount to avoid the purchases of the 2028 Notes in principal amounts other than in integral multiples of $1,000. Because the 2029 Notes Tender Offer remains open, no proration factor for the 2029 Notes can be determined at this time; any proration factor for the 2029 Notes will be determined following expiration of the extended 2029 Notes Tender Offer.

The consideration to be paid under the Tender Offers will be $1,047.50 per $1,000 principal amount of 2028 Notes and $1,068.75 per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Notes (the “Tender Offer Consideration”), plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date. Payment for the 2028 Notes accepted for purchase in the 2028 Notes Tender Offer is expected to be made on the 2028 Notes Settlement Date. The 2029 Notes Tender Offer remains open, and payment for 2029 Notes accepted for purchase is expected to be made on August 27, 2026. The Tender Offer Consideration and accrued and unpaid interest will be funded with cash on hand and/or borrowings under the $600,000,000 line of credit under the Operating Partnership’s Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

It is expected that the Operating Partnership will retire approximately 14.3% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the 2028 Notes pursuant to the 2028 Notes Tender Offer. The results of the 2029 Notes Tender Offer, including the percentage of the 2029 Notes retired, will be announced following expiration of the extended 2029 Notes Tender Offer.

The Tender Offers were made pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. BofA Securities, Inc. acted as the Dealer Manager (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and Citizens JMP Securities, LLC, M&T Securities, Inc., Truist Securities, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as Joint Dealer Managers for the Tender Offers. This press release is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation to buy any of the Notes nor is it a solicitation for acceptance of the Tender Offers.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com) has filed a class action suit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against GoDaddy Inc. (“GoDaddy” or the “Company”) (NYSE: GDDY), captioned Johnson v. GoDaddy Inc., et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-07144, on behalf of all persons and entities who purchased GoDaddy common stock during the period September 3, 2025 through February 24, 2026, inclusive (the “Class Period”).

DEADLINE REMINDER: Investors are hereby notified that they have 60 days from the date of this notice to move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff in this action for the proposed Class. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

.

The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, the Defendants made false and misleading statements, and omitted information necessary to make the statements not false or misleading at the time they were made, because while the Company represented to investors that its strategy “isn’t to grow customers just for the sake of growing customers” and that “[w]e’ve seen the average order size go up,” the Company had implemented a promotion focusing on short term contracts with smaller valuations, which in turn led to a decrease in total bookings and deceleration of bookings growth for both the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

The Complaint further alleges that on February 24, 2026 after the close of the market, the truth regarding the Company’s promotional discount instituted in the fall of 2025 and its material, adverse effect on total bookings growth was revealed when the Company issued a press release reporting its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results with the SEC on Form 8-K (the “Press Release”). The Press Release revealed that total bookings growth had sharply decelerated to 5% in the fourth quarter of 2025.

The Complaint alleges that these disclosures caused the price of GoDaddy common stock to decline from a price of $92.30 per share on Tuesday, February 24, 2026 to a closing price of $79.12 per share on Wednesday, February 25, 2026, a decline of $13.18 per share, or more than 14% on heavier than usual volume.

Plaintiff seeks to recover damages on behalf of the proposed Class and is represented by Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP (www.kaplanfox.com). Our firm, with offices in New York, Oakland, California, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Jersey, has decades of experience in prosecuting investor class actions and actions involving violations of the Federal securities laws.

Contacting or submitting information to Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP does not create an attorney-client relationship, nor an obligation on the part of Kaplan Fox to retain you as a client.
