FDA Authorizes ZYN ULTRA Nicotine Pouches Following Scientific Review

FDA Authorizes ZYN ULTRA Nicotine Pouches Following Scientific Review

Authorizations add selection of ZYN ULTRA products to PMI U.S.’s growing portfolio of better alternatives for legal-age adults who smoke or use traditional oral tobacco products

STAMFORD, CT–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE: PM) today announces that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued Marketing Granted Orders to PMI’s U.S. affiliate, Swedish Match USA, Inc., authorizing the marketing of 11 ZYN ULTRA moist oral nicotine pouch products, including all 9mg variants and one 11mg variant. Additional 11mg variants remain under scientific review.

Today’s action further enhances PMI’s leadership role in the smoke-free category.

We are delighted with the FDA’s decision to authorize a range of ZYN ULTRA products, which will build on ZYN’s position as America’s leading smoke-free product brand,” said Stacey Kennedy, PMI U.S. CEO. “We look forward to expanding our portfolio of better choices for the 45 million Americans who consume nicotine products.”

ZYN ULTRA positions the brand to further extend its category leadership among legal-age consumers of nicotine products. Like the flagship FDA-authorized ZYN pouches, ZYNULTRA, with its higher moisture content, is free of tobacco-leaf.

Today’s decisions build on the FDA’s earlier authorizations of ZYN in multiple flavors and both 3mg and 6 mg variants. ZYN was the first nicotine pouch authorized for sale in the United States following rigorous scientific review. PMI leads the industry in securing FDA authorizations, reinforcing its commitment to transparency and science-based regulation.

These authorizations underscore PMI U.S.’s commitment to innovation and responsible marketing practices to adults aged 21+, as the company works to offer alternatives that are a much better choice than continuing to smoke.

The FDA authorized the following products in 9 mg nicotine concentrations:

  • ZYN ULTRA Smooth (commercialized as Signature Smooth)
  • ZYN ULTRA Cool Mint (commercialized as Arctic Mint)
  • ZYN ULTRA Spearmint (commercialized as Fresh Spearmint)
  • ZYN ULTRA Wintergreen (commercialized as Wintergreen Blast)
  • ZYN ULTRA Peppermint (commercialized as Peppermint Frost)
  • ZYN ULTRA Citrus (commercialized as Citrus Zest)
  • ZYN ULTRA Chill (commercialized as Chill Mist)
  • ZYN ULTRA Menthol (commercialized as Menthol Ice)
  • ZYN ULTRA Deep Freeze
  • ZYN ULTRA Wintergreen Chill

The FDA authorized the following product in 11mg nicotine concentration:

  • ZYN ULTRA Smooth (commercialized as Signature Smooth)

EDITOR’S NOTE

  • From the FDA Granted Order: “Based on our review of your PMTAs, we determined that permitting the marketing of the new tobacco products, as described in your applications and specified in Appendix A, are appropriate for the protection of public health.”

  • Pre-market applications for other ZYN ULTRA 11mg variants remain under scientific review at FDA.

  • Today’s news follows a series of recent FDA actions involving PMI’s smoke-free portfolio, including modified risk tobacco product orders for certain previously authorized ZYN nicotine pouches. PMI U.S. began commercialization of ZYN ULTRA in June 2026 under recent FDA guidance.

Philip Morris International: A Global Smoke-Free Champion

Philip Morris International is a leading international consumer goods company, actively delivering a smoke-free future and evolving its portfolio for the long term to include products outside of the tobacco and nicotine sector. The company’s current product portfolio primarily consists of cigarettes and smoke-free products, including heat-not-burn, nicotine pouch and e-vapor products. Our smoke-free products are available for sale in 109 markets as of June 30, 2026. As of December 31, 2025, PMI estimates they were used by over 43 million legal-age consumers around the world, many of whom have moved away from cigarettes or significantly reduced their consumption. The smoke-free business accounted for approximately 42% of PMI’s second-quarter 2026 total net revenues. Since 2008, PMI has invested over $16 billion to develop, scientifically substantiate and commercialize innovative smoke-free products for adults who would otherwise smoke or use other nicotine-containing consumer products, with the goal of completely ending the sale of cigarettes. This includes the building of world-class scientific assessment capabilities, notably in the areas of pre-clinical systems toxicology, clinical and behavioral research, as well as post-market studies. Following a robust science-based review, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized the marketing of Swedish Match’s General snus and ZYN nicotine pouches and versions of PMI’s IQOS devices and consumables – the first-ever such authorizations in their respective categories. Versions of IQOS devices and consumables, General snus and 20 ZYN nicotine pouch variants also obtained the first-ever Modified Risk Tobacco Product authorizations from the FDA. With a strong foundation and significant expertise in life sciences, PMI has a long-term ambition to expand into wellness areas.

ComEd, EV Ambassador Program Spotlight Small Businesses Advancing Transportation Electrification Across Northern Illinois

ComEd, EV Ambassador Program Spotlight Small Businesses Advancing Transportation Electrification Across Northern Illinois

Event highlights how community-based outreach, education and fleet rebates are helping businesses adopt electric vehicles and reduce transportation costs

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ComEd today joined local small-business owners and community leaders at Steps Inc. Consulting in Chicago to highlight how electric vehicle (EV) rebate programs, community partnerships and customer education efforts are helping accelerate transportation electrification across northern Illinois.

The event showcased several small businesses that have leveraged ComEd EV rebates and resources to begin transitioning their fleets to electric vehicles. Attendees heard firsthand how participating businesses are reducing barriers to fleet electrification while learning about funding opportunities available through ComEd’s Business and Public Sector EV Purchase Program.

“Creating opportunities for businesses and communities to affordably participate in the clean energy transition is essential to accelerating EV adoption across northern Illinois,” said Ajit Apte, SVP of Customer Operations at ComEd. “Through our EV Ambassador Program and EV rebate offerings, ComEd is helping connect customers with trusted community leaders, educational resources and financial incentives that make transportation electrification more accessible and affordable.”

ComEd launched its EV Ambassador Program to help expand awareness of electric vehicle resources, incentives and educational opportunities available to customers throughout northern Illinois. The program works with trusted community leaders who serve as local advocates, helping customers learn about EV ownership, charging infrastructure, available rebates and fleet electrification opportunities. Through one-on-one engagement, community events and educational outreach, EV Ambassadors help connect customers with the resources needed to participate in Illinois’ growing clean transportation economy.

One such ambassador is Nicole Wheatly, founder of Steps Inc. Consulting, who works directly with businesses and community members to raise awareness of available EV incentives and connect customers with resources that support transportation electrification.

Since launching in 2025, ComEd’s EV Ambassador Program has engaged more than 350 customers through direct outreach and education efforts and supported more than 20 community events across northern Illinois. The program has helped generate interest in transportation electrification, contributing to 10 EV charging infrastructure and fleet electrification projects entering the development pipeline, five fleet electrification assessments and two electric vehicle installers joining the Electric Vehicle Service Provider network.

“Serving as an EV Ambassador has been a natural extension of the work we already do at Steps Inc. Consulting, which is connecting people with opportunities that can help them grow and succeed,” said Nicole Wheatly, owner of Steps Inc. Consulting and ComEd EV Ambassador. “It’s exciting to help fellow business owners learn about resources that can lower costs, support sustainability goals and position their businesses for the future.”

Among the businesses highlighted during the event was Bronzeville Community Development Partnership, a nonprofit organization which leveraged ComEd’s EV rebate offering to add an EV to its fleet. By transitioning a portion of its operations to an electric vehicle, the company expects to reduce fuel and maintenance costs while supporting broader sustainability goals.

A Nothing Bundt Cakes franchise in Chicago also leveraged the rebate program to add an electric delivery vehicle to its fleet, demonstrating how businesses of all sizes can take advantage of available incentives to begin electrifying their operations.

“As electric vehicle adoption continues to grow across Illinois, it is important that businesses of all sizes have access to the information, resources and incentives needed to participate in the transition to cleaner transportation,” said Megha Lakhchaura, Illinois State Electric Vehicle Officer. “Programs like ComEd’s EV Ambassador initiative help connect local businesses with trusted guidance and funding opportunities, supporting fleet electrification while advancing the state’s broader transportation and clean energy goals.”

Growing EV adoption remains a key component of Illinois’ Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA). Since 2024, ComEd has helped support the installation of more than 14,400 public and private charging ports and incentivized the purchase or lease of more than 3,900 electric vehicles across northern Illinois.

In 2026 alone, ComEd has:

  • Provided approximately $13.8 million through its EV Rebate Program, with 99% of rebate funding supporting vehicles in low-income and Equity Investment Eligible Communities.
  • Helped fund more than 4,600 charging ports and incentivized the purchase or lease of 565 fleet electric vehicles.
  • Delivered more than $52.5 million in rebates and supported more than 3,000 approved rebate applications across northern Illinois through the Business and Public Sector EV Purchase Program, Residential EV Charger and Installation Program and Make-Ready Programs.

“The diesel truck fleets of many northern Illinois small businesses are old and in need of replacement with zero-emission EVs for the health of the drivers and the communities through which they drive and deliver. Fleet owners that switch to EVs avoid wildly rising and fluctuating diesel prices. They can be more certain of their total costs as electric vehicles reduce both fuel and maintenance costs,” said Susan Mudd, senior policy advocate at the Environmental Law & Policy Center.

“A recent Chicago region-focused study by Northwestern University researchers found that transitioning 30% of diesel trucks to electric would have significant air quality and health benefits: lower concentrations of health-threatening NO2 and PM2.5 pollutants, reduced health disparities from air pollution exposure now experienced by Black and Hispanic/Latino residents, and fewer climate-changing CO2 emissions. So, ComEd’s EV rebates are good news for small business owners ready to try switching to quiet, zero-emission electrics.”

Creating EV opportunities for customers and communities remains essential as adoption continues to grow across the state. Nearly 176,000 electric vehicles are currently on Illinois roads, including more than 158,000 within ComEd’s service territory.

Funding remains available for eligible and select fleet vehicle purchases and leases through ComEd’s EV rebate offerings. To learn more about available EV rebates, fleet electrification opportunities and ComEd’s EV Ambassador Program, go to ComEd.com/EV.

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.

Greenland Government Approves Rare Earths License Transfer to Greenland Mines

Regulatory approval satisfies a key closing condition for the acquisition of the Sarfartoq Nd-Pr Rare Earths Project

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — Greenland Mines Ltd (Nasdaq: GRML) (“Greenland Mines” or the “Company”) today announced that the Government of Greenland, through the Ministry of Business and Mineral Resources (Naalakkersuisut), has formally approved the indirect transfer of Mineral Exploration License MEL 2020-32 covering the Sarfartoq Carbonatite Complex from Neo Performance Materials Inc. to Greenland Mines Ltd.

The approval, granted under Section 69(1) of the Greenland Mineral Activities Act, satisfies one of the key regulatory closing conditions for the Company’s previously announced acquisition of the Sarfartoq Neodymium-Praseodymium (“Nd-Pr”) Rare Earths Project.

“This approval from the Government of Greenland is a fundamental milestone for our Company and for the future of Sarfartoq,” said Dr. Bo Møller Stensgaard, President of Greenland Mines Ltd. “It reflects the strength of our relationships in Greenland and the confidence the Government places in our team to advance this project responsibly. Sarfartoq is one of the most important undeveloped neodymium-praseodymium resources in the Western world. This is a foundational step in building a genuine, Western-aligned rare earth supply chain from Greenland.”

Why Sarfartoq Matters Now

Rare earth elements, and neodymium and praseodymium in particular, are the essential building blocks of the permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, offshore wind turbines, robotics, and defense systems.

Global magnet-grade Nd-Pr supply remains heavily concentrated outside the Western hemisphere, and recent export restrictions have sharpened the urgency for the United States, Europe, and other allied nations to secure independent, non-China-dependent sources of these materials. Sarfartoq is strategically positioned to help answer that need: a carbonatite-hosted deposit with an exceptional Nd-Pr concentration of 25% to 40% of total rare earth oxides at its core ST1 zone – among the highest ratios reported globally – combined with sheltered deep-fjord tidewater access and adjacent hydroelectric potential that support a genuinely favorable development pathway.

Sarfartoq is also unusual among rare earth exploration assets in its maturity.

The project carries a historic NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate and a Preliminary Economic Assessment, is supported by more than 15 years of exploration work and over 23,000 meters of drilling, extensive metallurgical test work, and environmental baseline studies already underway, and comes with an existing 20-person camp and two drill rigs ready for immediate mobilization. Few rare earth exploration projects globally combine this level of technical maturity with this scale of Nd-Pr enrichment and this degree of logistical readiness. This is an excellent foundation for fast execution and efficient development programs for the Company.

A Unique Platform: Sarfartoq and Skaergaard Together

Combined with the Company’s flagship Skaergaard palladium-gold-platinum project in southeast Greenland, Sarfartoq gives Greenland Mines a rare dual-commodity position spanning both precious/platinum group metals and rare earth magnet materials, anchored within a single, geopolitically strategic jurisdiction.

Together, the two projects form the foundation of the Company’s North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor — a strategy designed to link upstream Greenlandic mineral resources with midstream and downstream processing, logistics, and offtake infrastructure across the North Atlantic, including the Company’s strategic position in Iceland. The Company believes this combination provides investors with a differentiated way to gain exposure to the broader Western critical minerals buildout, while reducing reliance on a single commodity or project.

About Greenland Mines Ltd

Greenland Mines Ltd is a Nasdaq-listed company with two operating divisions: (1) Mining, focused on the exploration and development of the Skaergaard Project in southeast Greenland and, subject to closing of the previously announced transaction, the Sarfartoq neodymium-praseodymium (Nd-Pr) rare earths project in southwest Greenland; and (2) Biotech, including Klotho’s KLTO-202 primary indication for ALS. The Company’s strategy is centered on building a multi-asset platform with exposure to rare earth magnet materials, precious metals, and select midstream processing opportunities, while advancing its broader North Atlantic Critical Metals Corridor vision linking Greenland resources with allied downstream jurisdictions and industrial infrastructure.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kaplan Fox & Kilsheimer LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against UWM Holdings Corporation (“UWM Holdings” or the “Company”) (NYSE: UWMC) on behalf of investors that purchased or otherwise acquired UWM Holdings securities between March 9, 2026 and August 5, 2026 (the “Class Period”).

If you have losses we encourage you to contact us to learn more about the lead plaintiff process. You need not seek to become a lead plaintiff in order to share in any possible recovery.

The Complaint alleges that on “August 5, 2026, after the market closed, UWM reported second quarter fiscal year 2026 financial results, including a $603.2 million interest rate derivatives loss which contributed to a $451.9 million second-quarter net loss. Total equity also fell 43.6% year over year, reflecting the net loss and derivative-related charges.” “Then, on August 6, 2026, at 10:30 AM EDT, the Company held an earnings call in connection with its second quarter 2026 financial results. During that call, Chief Executive Officer Mathew Ishbia (‘Ishbia’) disclosed ‘We were over-hedged, if you think of it that way, protecting against the Two Harbors transaction.’ Ishbia further stated ‘[w]e don’t traditionally hedge our MSRs [Mortgage Servicing Rights]’ but ‘when you’re going through and acquiring a company like Two Harbors and a massive MSR book… it created a little more risk. So . . . we did put a hedge on to protect against that risk and then a lot of things happen[ed]…and then obviously, the Two Harbors transaction went away. And so a confluence of events that created a hedge loss.’” On “this news, shares of UWM Holdings fell $0.64 or 34.78% to close at $1.20 on August 6, 2026, on unusually heavy trading volume.”

The Complaint further alleges that “Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company had deviated from its traditional strategy of not hedging its mortgage servicing rights to take a major hedge position; (2) the Company over-hedged itself in anticipation of the Two Harbors transaction; (3) the Company’s purported efforts to balance its risk in fact created an excess hedging risk; and (4) that, as a result of the foregoing, Defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis.”
