Visionary Holdings (Nasdaq: GV) Establishes Three Wholly Owned Subsidiaries in Qingdao, Wuxi and Wuhu, Advancing Commercial Expansion in China

HONG KONG, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Visionary Holdings Inc. (“GV” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: GV), a technology-driven multinational enterprise, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Visionary Health Technology Group Limited, has established three new regional wholly owned subsidiaries in Qingdao, Wuxi and Wuhu, China.

These subsidiaries are primarily dedicated to localized market expansion, institutional partnerships, and frontline sales execution for GV’s regenerative medicine, cellular rejuvenation, and aesthetic treatment product portfolio.

This development represents a meaningful operational milestone in GV’s transition from strategic platform buildout to coordinated multi-city commercial execution.


Building a Multi-City Commercial Network

Following the launch of GV’s Asia Headquarters in Hangzhou and the establishment of its sales entity in Nanjing, the addition of Qingdao, Wuxi and Wuhu forms a structured regional commercialization matrix covering:

• Shandong Peninsula (Qingdao)
• Yangtze River Delta biomedical corridor (Wuxi)
• Anhui regional healthcare market (Wuhu)

Together, these cities provide diversified healthcare demand bases, strong institutional resources, and access to premium consumer markets.


Core Functions of the Three Subsidiaries

Each regional subsidiary will focus on:

Localized Sales Execution

Recruiting and building professional sales teams to directly support hospitals, aesthetic clinics, and premium wellness institutions.

Institutional Partnerships

Developing strategic cooperation with regional medical providers, healthcare platforms, and channel partners.

Product Deployment and Market Onboarding

Supporting rollout of GV’s stem-cell-based rejuvenation programs, NK cell revitalization therapies, AI-assisted aging assessment systems, and personalized longevity solutions.

Revenue Visibility Enhancement

Establishing structured sales pipelines and standardized commercialization processes to improve revenue visibility and operational transparency.


A Visible Step Forward in Commercialization

Over the past year, GV has executed a phased strategic roadmap:

• Secured global technology licensing in regenerative medicine
• Launched stem cell–based anti-aging product portfolio
• Established Asia-Pacific operational headquarters
• Built frontline sales infrastructure
• Expanded into multiple regional commercialization hubs

The simultaneous establishment of three additional wholly owned subsidiaries reflects continued progress in translating technology assets into structured sales operations.


Management Commentary

Xiyong Hou, Chief Executive Officer of Visionary Holdings, commented:

“The establishment of wholly owned subsidiaries in Qingdao, Wuxi and Wuhu marks an important step in GV’s commercialization journey. We are progressing from strategic positioning to coordinated city-level execution.

By building localized teams and strengthening regional partnerships, we aim to enhance sales capability and operational visibility. Commercialization is a gradual process, but this multi-city deployment strengthens our scalability and long-term growth foundation.

We remain disciplined in execution and focused on delivering measurable progress for our shareholders.”


Strengthening Long-Term Visibility

With operational platforms now spanning Hangzhou, Nanjing, Qingdao, Wuxi and Wuhu, GV has formed an integrated structure covering strategy, technology, product, and regional sales execution.

This expansion enhances:

• Commercial scalability
• Institutional penetration capability
• Revenue pathway visibility
• Regional diversification

As demand for regenerative medicine and aesthetic treatment continues to expand across Asia, GV believes its structured commercialization approach positions the Company to participate meaningfully in this growth trend.


About Visionary Holdings Inc.

Headquartered in Toronto, Canada, the Company operates through its subsidiaries across North America and Asia, driving technological advancement, cross-border innovation, and global health transformation.

TG-17, Inc. Announces Corporate Name Change to Our Bond, Inc. to Align with Brand as Company Expands Sales and Marketing Initiatives Globally

Name Change Reflects Company’s Continued Focus on Scaling Awareness of Its AI-Powered Preventative Personal Security Platform

NEW YORK, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TG-17, Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OBAI), the creator of the world’s first AI-powered Preventative Personal Security platform which is already widely adopted by leading multinational companies, today announced that it has changed its corporate name to Our Bond, Inc. in order to better align its corporate identity with its consumer and enterprise brand as the Company continues to expand its sales, marketing, and public awareness initiatives.

The name change reflects the Company’s ongoing efforts to create greater consistency across its corporate, customer, and investor-facing communications as Bond continues to scale.

“We are at a stage of expansion and awareness and it is important that the name is clear and consistent. TG-17 was the original code name for the Company when we operated confidentially in R&D mode. Since the launch in 2020, we switched to the Our Bond name, which is the market-facing name. We are formalizing that name now that much of our effort is focused on accelerating broad commercialization. Our mission remains the same as it has always been: to make personal security accessible to everyone,” said Doron Kempel, Founder and CEO. “As we accelerate our initiatives in brand, sales, and marketing initiatives, aligning our corporate name with our Bond brand creates clarity and reinforces who we are across all stakeholders – members, enterprise customers, partners, and investors alike.”

The Company’s operations, strategy, management team, and mission remain unchanged. The renaming is intended to strengthen market recognition and ensure consistency as Bond expands across its multiple routes to market, including enterprise, municipal, and direct-to-consumer channels.

Bond has invested more than $100 million in building its AI-powered preventative security platform, handling over 1.4 million security service requests, including more than 10,000 emergencies and life-saving situations. With some of the world’s largest companies as customers already, the Company continues to scale its platform across corporations, municipalities, and families seeking enhanced personal protection.

The corporate name change does not affect the rights of shareholders, and no action is required by shareholders with respect to the change. The Company’s ticker symbol and the CUSIP number for its common stock will remain the same. Additional details regarding the name change are available in the Company’s regulatory filings.

About Our Bond, Inc.

Bond is an international company headquartered in New York City — with command centers around the world — that is redefining personal security through its AI-powered Preventative Personal Security platform. The company has invested more than $100 million to date in its technology, operations, and global expansion.

Bond is trusted by leading corporations, cities, and universities, and has already supported more than 1.4 million security service requests, including over 10,000 emergencies and life-saving interventions. Bond operates in 28 countries and growing, positioning itself as a new global standard for personal security and peace of mind.

Uniti Wholesale Accelerates 2026 Expansion; FastWaves™ Delivers 100G/400G in Days, Not Months

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Uniti Wholesale today announced accelerated progress on its 2026 expansion plan, including new data center on-ramps, key route upgrades, and the launch of FastWaves™—a pre-deployed optical capacity program designed to cut delivery intervals for 100G and 400G wavelength services to less than three weeks on select routes.

These initiatives expand the company’s reach to critical U.S. data centers while pairing faster turn-ups with market-aligned pricing and strong service assurance, reinforcing Uniti’s role as a trusted infrastructure partner to carriers, hyperscalers, and global enterprises.  

Network Expansion

Uniti Wholesale is making a significant capital investment in 2026 to expand connectivity between the most important data centers in the U.S., with approximately 20 new data center on-ramps and six major route upgrades and new routes. This aligns with the company’s commitment to delivering best-in-class Wavelength services via its nationwide Intelligent Converged Network (ICON) network, designed for 10G, 100G, 400G and 800G speeds to meet the multiple-terabit demands of AI. Six initial data center projects are underway with many more to follow, targeted for completion this year:

  • Austin, Texas (Data Foundry)
  • El Segundo, Calif. (Equinix)
  • Franklin, Tenn. (Flexential)
  • Chandler, Ariz. (H5)
  • McAllen, Texas (1547)
  • Clifton, N.J. (DRT)

Route initiatives include upgrades or new builds on approximately six corridors, with three already in motion: Minneapolis–Chicago, Denver–Dallas, and Dallas Metro. These efforts complement Uniti Wholesale’s broader expansion to improve access to data center locations, international cable landing stations, and regional cloud hubs, with ongoing enhancements toward supporting 800G wave capability.

FastWaves™: Faster Delivery, Lower Cost

To meet surging demand for high-capacity transport, Uniti Wholesale is launching FastWaves to shrink delivery intervals. The company is pre-deploying muxponders to provide excess line-system capacity across its ICON network. This enables delivery of 100G and 400G waves in less than three weeks on select routes. Phase 1 will activate 40 high-demand routes and is targeted for completion by March 1. Phase 2 will add 15 more routes early in the second quarter, with further expansions coming online as capacity allows.

Customers gain complete visibility of route availability through the iconnect customer portal via the Route Creator tool, where they can quote and order directly.

The FastWaves program features some of the most aggressive pricing Uniti Wholesale offers for waves and includes an SLA-backed commitment when three-week install intervals are not met. Robust SLA commitments and optional diverse, geographically separated routes underscore carrier-class resiliency across the program. 

“Customers need capacity where it matters, delivered faster and more predictably. With FastWaves and expanded data center on-ramps, we’re compressing delivery intervals and simplifying how partners scale across the U.S.,” said Greg Ortyl, executive vice president and president of Uniti Wholesale.

FastWaves orders begin the first week of March. Customers can view route availability and initiate quotes and orders through the iconnect Route Creator tool. As demand grows, additional capacity will be released on a rolling basis as build and augmentation milestones are met.

About Uniti Wholesale 

Uniti Wholesale, a business unit of Uniti (NASDAQ: UNIT), builds and delivers customer-driven dark fiber infrastructure and high-capacity wavelengths, ethernet and wireless access leveraging our optical transport network reaching nearly every hyperscale and AI firm, communications services provider, Fortune 500 enterprise and federal government customers in the U.S. and Canada.

Grosse Pointe, Michigan, Feb. 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Broad Arrow, driven by Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY), is thrilled to announce that it has entered into a multi-year partnership with The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, to become the official auction partner for the world-renowned motorsports and luxury lifestyle event. The partnership represents a significant step in Broad Arrow’s evolution as one of the premier collector car auction companies, as it continues to build a world-class roster of some of the most exclusive and exciting auction venues. 

Broad Arrow will host a two-day auction at The Quail Golf Club on Thursday, August 13 and Friday, August 14, with the latter taking place during the 23rd edition of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. The auction is expected to assemble approximately 175 of the market’s most sought-after collector cars for sale, from pre- and post-war classics to motorsport icons, the rarest supercars, emerging modern collectibles, and more. The new agreement supports The Quail’s long‑term vision of expanding its auction platform and elevating results for consignors and collectors, while offering visitors an expanded array of opportunities to connect with the finest automotive experiences.

The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering will include more than a dozen vehicle debuts from top OEMs and designers, a curated display of hundreds of rare and unique vehicles, as well as world-class cuisine and entertainment. Four celebrated classes will take center stage at this year’s event: The 100th Anniversary of Route 66, The Lamborghini Diablo, The Legacy of Japanese GTs and The Ferrari F40. In addition to world‑class vehicles, guests will enjoy a lavish garden‑party experience, brought to life with The Peninsula’s world‑renowned hospitality, including themed gourmet food pavilions, exceptional libations, a special‑guest Fireside Chat series, live entertainment, and delightful surprises.

“It’s an absolute honor for Broad Arrow to announce this exceptional partnership with The Quail,” says Kenneth Ahn, President of Broad Arrow. “The partnership represents a collaboration between two best-in-class organizations focused on exceptional hospitality, celebration of automobiles, and a shared vision for the future of the hobby.”

“We held our first-ever auction four years ago at the Monterey Jet Center in August 2022. Spending our company’s formative years at such a dynamic location alongside the thrill of Motorlux was an exceptional experience. As we continued our rapid growth, it became clear we were outgrowing the space. The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, is considered by many to be the highlight of Monterey Car Week. Since its founding in 2003, The Quail has evolved from a small enthusiast meet into one of the most influential luxury car events in the world. Broad Arrow has also quickly evolved from a start-up in 2021 to one of the top players in the industry, and we very much look forward to seeing how this new partnership will elevate the experience for driving enthusiasts and collectors during the world-renowned Monterey Car Week,” adds Ahn.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Broad Arrow as our official auction partner in 2026”, said Kai Lermen, Senior Vice President of Peninsula Signature Events. “Broad Arrow’s experienced team, premium car selections and strategic growth align perfectly with the continued evolution of our events. We look forward to bringing world-class auctions to our patrons for years to come.”

Through a relentless commitment to integrity, elevation of the client experience, and high-quality collector cars with a decided focus on what today’s most active collectors are looking for, Broad Arrow has become the fastest growing auction house in its segment. Founded in 2021 by a team of seasoned industry veterans, Broad Arrow helped clients buy, sell, and finance more than $624 million in total transaction value across Auctions, Private Sales, and Capital in 2025. This represents 97 percent growth over 2024 results for the Broad Arrow team ($316 million total in 2024). In 2025, Broad Arrow Auctions sold $257 million in total sales across eight live auctions—including three debut sales in Europe across Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland. The company achieved an overall sell-through rate of 88 percent for 949 lots sold (642 cars, 307 memorabilia lots), setting no fewer than 11 world record auction prices along the way. Bidders came from 52 countries, with the number of registered bidders increasing significantly across recurring auction events.

Broad Arrow will continue to be highly integrated with Motorlux, driven by Hagerty, the iconic celebration at the beginning of Monterey Car Week, taking place Wednesday, August 12. Broad Arrow representatives will preview select auction and private sale offerings and assist clients interested in registering to bid for the company’s auction at The Quail. Motorlux will once again feature Michelin-starred cuisine, 100-point wines and a curated display of world-class automobiles and aircraft at the Monterey Jet Center.

Canary Launches The First Spot SUI ETF, with Staking (SUIS)

Canary Launches The First Spot SUI ETF, with Staking (SUIS)

With SUIS, Canary advances its strategy of translating blockchain networks into exchange-traded investment vehicles with staking yield

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Canary Capital Group LLC (“Canary Capital”), a digital asset investment management firm, today announced the launch of the Canary Staked SUI ETF (NASDAQ: SUIS). The Fund seeks to offer exposure to the spot price of SUI, the native token of the Layer-1 Sui Network. In addition, the Fund also seeks to earn additional SUI through participation in the Sui Network’s Proof-of-Stake (“PoS”) validation process, with net in-kind staking rewards reflected in the Fund’s net asset value.

“The Canary Staked SUI spot ETF (SUIS) brings exposure to SUI in a registered, exchanged-traded structure, while also enabling investors to benefit from net staking rewards generated through SUI’s proof-of-stake mechanism,” said Steven McClurg, CEO at Canary Capital.

Canary’s investment thesis is to provide investors with access to cutting-edge blockchains, and the Sui Network, with healthy user adoption and a wide stack of tooling, is a well-suited addition to the product suite. Investors who believe in the potential of the Sui Network can get direct spot exposure to SUI, with staking, on Nasdaq via SUIS.

Targeted for fast, low-cost transactions, the Sui Network enables builders to create seamless applications for everyday users, from financial and digital marketplaces to gaming and digital advertising tools.

Created by the leading minds behind Meta’s Libra project, the Sui Network is known for its industry-leading performance, speed, and scalability. As of December 2025, the network supports a robust on-chain economy, with over $10 billion in 30-day decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume (DeFiLlama.com), more than 1,000 monthly active developers (Artemis.xyz), and over $200 billion in monthly stablecoin transfer volume (Artemis.xyz).

“The Sui Network represents the evolution of blockchain utility – it’s highly scalable, supported by robust developer activity, and designed for real-world adoption,” said McClurg.

“Today marks an important milestone for both institutional and retail access to the Sui ecosystem,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Co-Founder and CPO of Mysten Labs, the original contributor to Sui. “Sui was built to serve as the foundation for a new global economy, and this launch unlocks exposure for investors who believe in the technology powering that innovation.”

With the launch of the Canary Staked SUI ETF (SUIS), Canary Capital continues its mission to make digital asset investing simple, secure, and accessible. For more information on SUIS or Canary Capital click here.

About Canary Capital

Canary Capital is an investment management firm offering crypto-focused investment strategies and funds with a disciplined, technology-driven approach.

About Sui

Sui is a next-generation Layer-1 blockchain designed for fast, secure, and scalable digital asset ownership and applications.

Disclosures and Risk

Investing Involves Significant Risk. The loss of principal is possible. Canary Staked SUI ETF (the “Fund”) may not be suitable for all investors. This communication does not constitute a recommendation of any investment strategy or product for a particular investor. Investors should consult a financial advisor/financial consultant before making any investment decisions.

The Funds investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be considered before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information, and it may be obtained at https://canaryetfs.com/SUIS/prospectus/. Read it carefully before investing.

The Fund is not a registered commodity pool or an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Shares of the Fund are not subject to the same regulatory requirements as traditional ETFs.

These investments are not suitable for all investors. Funds focusing on a single asset generally experience greater volatility. Please ask your financial advisor for more information about these risks. Digital assets, such as SUI, are a relatively new asset class, and the market for digital assets is subject to rapid changes and uncertainty. Digital assets are largely unregulated and digital asset investments may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments.

SUI is subject to unique and substantial risks, including significant price volatility and lack of liquidity, and theft. The value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. SUI is subject to rapid price swings, including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media, changes in the supply of and demand for digital assets, and other factors. There is no assurance that SUI will maintain its value over the long term.

Staking provides the Trust with the opportunity to create and earn additional Sui. The Trust will be entitled to all Sui generated by the Trust’s staking, after deduction of certain staking-related expenses. This additional Sui will increase the net assets of the Trust, benefiting Shareholders. Certain of such Sui may be treated as income to the Trust and may be held for future distribution to Shareholders, subject to procedures and requirements disclosed elsewhere in the Prospectus.

Staking comes with a risk of loss of SUI. None of the Fund’s assets, including any staked assets, are subject to the protections enjoyed by depositors with Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or SIPC member institutions. The staked assets may also be subject to “slashing” penalties. Slashings occur when a validator attests to two different histories of the chain and penalties occur when a validator is offline for a prolonged period of time. The Fund itself will not engage in staking activities, including the operation of a validator node. Instead, the staking program will be administered by the Fund’s sponsor, who will utilize service providers including the custodians and staking providers. While the Fund’s sponsor does not expect the activities of the staking providers to result in slashing penalties, there can be no guarantee that slashing penalties will not occur. Furthermore, the custodians’ and staking providers’ liability to the Fund for the actions associated with the Staking Program is limited, and the custodians and staking providers may lack the assets or insurance in order to support the recovery of any losses incurred. Accordingly, there can be no guarantee that the Fund would recover any of its staked assets, or the value thereof, if it is subject to slashing or penalties.

The Fund is new with a limited operating history.

Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the Company’s goals, targets, projections, outlooks, beliefs, expectations, strategy, plans, objectives of management for future operations of the Company, and growth opportunities are forward-looking statements. Our guidance reflects management’s current estimates and assumptions as of the date of this release, is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and is not a guarantee of future performance. Actual results may differ materially. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by words or phrases such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “target,” “aim,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “continue,” “is/are likely to,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “forecast,” or other similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and forecasts and reflect the views, assumptions, expectations, and opinions of the Company, which involve inherent risks and uncertainties, and therefore they should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results. The Company may not be able to maintain and enhance its IM8 business and brand if it suffers negative publicity or fails to maintain a strong base of engaged customers and content creators, or otherwise fails to meet customers’ expectations; the Company’s ability to further develop and grow its business, including new products and services; and its ability to identify and execute on M&A opportunities. In addition to the foregoing factors, you should also carefully consider the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent registration statement and the prospectus therein, and the other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Unless otherwise specified, all information provided in this press release is as of the date of this press release, and the Company does not undertake any duty to update such information, except as required under applicable law.

Unaudited Non-IFRS Financial Measures

To supplement Prenetics’ financial measures prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), the Company is providing the following non-IFRS measure: adjusted liquidity. This non-IFRS financial measure is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by IFRS and is not necessarily comparable to similarly-titled measures presented by other companies. Management believes this non-IFRS financial measure is useful to investors in evaluating the Company’s ongoing operating results, financial position and trends.

In addition, other companies, including companies in the same industry, may not use the same non-IFRS measure or may calculate this metric in a different manner than management, or may use other financial measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of this non-IFRS measure as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the Company’s non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS.
