Alpha Compute Corp. Updates on GAMEE Acquisition; Closing Targeted for May 2026 Pending Final Audit Completion

Alpha Compute shares will be valued at $1.00 per share at the time of closing, establishing a clear reference price for the equity component of the transaction consideration.

Road Town, British Virgin Islands, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alpha Compute Corp. (NASDAQ: ALP), formerly AlphaTON Capital Corp., a pioneering technology leader in AI GPU-as-a-service (GPUaaS) and AI Confidential Compute, today provided an update on its previously announced acquisition of a 60% controlling interest in GAMEE, a leading mobile gaming platform and wholly owned subsidiary of Animoca Brands. The Company confirms that closing of the transaction is now expected in May 2026, following the completion of GAMEE’s 2025 annual financial audit, which is required as a condition to close.


Transaction Background

On September 30, 2025, AlphaTON Capital Corp. and Animoca Brands announced a non-binding letter of intent proposing equity and token investments, including the potential acquisition by AlphaTON Capital of a controlling interest in GAMEE. The announcement marked an important strategic milestone, with Animoca Brands co-founder and Executive Chairman Yat Siu noting at the time that the deal, if completed, “would not only make GAMEE the first Nasdaq-listed Web3 gaming company with gaming assets listed on a major exchange, but also demonstrate how the Telegram ecosystem can support large-scale gaming businesses.”

On March 19, 2026, AlphaTON Capital Corp. entered into a definitive Share Purchase Agreement to acquire a 60% controlling interest in GAMEE for total consideration of up to $11 million, structured to include a performance-linked earn-out over two years. The transaction values GAMEE at an $18 million enterprise valuation, incorporating EBITDA-contingent earn-outs designed to mitigate upfront consideration risk. Concurrent with signing, AlphaTON and Animoca Brands formalized a Strategic Alliance to identify and develop commercial opportunities across blockchain and social gaming.

GAMEE was founded in 2015 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Animoca Brands in 2020. The platform stands at the intersection of Web2 and Web3 gaming, boasting over 119 million registered users, more than 10 billion lifetime gameplay sessions, and a particularly strong foothold within the Telegram ecosystem, where it serves over 61 million users. Martin Zakovec will continue as CEO of GAMEE, Miroslav Chmelka as Co-Founder and CTO, and founder Bozena Rezab will assume a strategic role as Head of Alpha Compute Gaming upon closing.


Closing Update: May 2026 Target

Alpha Compute confirms that the completion of the GAMEE acquisition, originally targeted for April 2026, has been extended to May 2026. The revised timeline reflects the time required to finalize GAMEE’s 2025 annual financial audit, a customary closing condition under the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement. The Company does not anticipate any material impediments to closing and expects all remaining conditions to be satisfied in the ordinary course.

Importantly, Alpha Compute shares will be valued at $1.00 per share at the time of closing, establishing a clear reference price for the equity component of the transaction consideration.

“We are on the doorstep of closing this transformative deal and are fully committed to completing it in May,” said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute. “The short extension reflects the completion of GAMEE’s 2025 financial audit—a routine but necessary step—and does not change our conviction in this acquisition or the immense value GAMEE brings to the Alpha Compute ecosystem. We are building the definitive AI and gaming infrastructure platform for the Telegram generation, and GAMEE is central to that vision.”


GAMEE Q1 2026 Performance: Continued Momentum

Alpha Compute’s confidence in the GAMEE acquisition is strongly supported by GAMEE’s recent operational and financial performance. On April 9, 2026, the Company released GAMEE’s unaudited Q1 2026 performance update, which demonstrated the platform’s accelerating growth within the Telegram ecosystem:

  • Revenue: Estimated $926,000 in Q1 2026, representing 56% Year-over-Year growth versus $593,000 in Q1 2025.
  • Full Year 2025 Revenue: Estimated $3.54 million total, representing a three-year compound annual growth rate of 112%.
  • User Engagement: Over 5.57 million users and 88.5 million gameplays in Q1 2026 alone.
  • Active Users: 1.7 million Monthly Active Users (MAUs) and 150,000 Daily Active Users (DAUs) across all platforms.
  • Telegram Ranking: Gamee / Azuki collaboration reached the Top 200 Mini Apps on Telegram and #1 Arcade Game on PlayToEarn.
  • Gold Fest Initiative: GAMEE secured a $2 million ecosystem milestone agreement with nGRND and Flashy, representing one of the largest gamified distributions of real-world assets in the Telegram ecosystem.

“The Q1 results confirm our thesis that the Telegram ecosystem is the premier frontier for gaming growth,” said Kaiser. “The success of the Gold Fest deal and the scaling of our agentic layer demonstrates Alpha Compute’s contributions to GAMEE, pushing it to the forefront of how value and AI interact on Telegram. Martin and the GAMEE team continue to set the benchmark for what is possible in this space.”


Alpha Compute: A New Name, An Accelerated Mission

The Company also notes that on April 20, 2026, it completed its corporate rebrand from AlphaTON Capital Corp. to Alpha Compute Corp., with shares now trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol “ALP.” The new name reflects the Company’s accelerating strategic pivot toward AI GPU-as-a-service and confidential computing, with GAMEE serving as the flagship consumer application within that ecosystem.

Alpha Compute runs NVIDIA Blackwell B200 and B300 GPU clusters inside Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), with binding deployment agreements for over 1,000 Blackwell-generation GPUs and a $43 million AI infrastructure and financing partnership with Vertical Data. The Company serves as a core infrastructure provider to Telegram’s Cocoon AI confidential computing network, which is available to over one billion Telegram users. Upon closing, GAMEE will leverage Alpha Compute’s compute infrastructure to power AI-driven and agent-centric gameplay experiences.


GAMEE CEO Martin Zakovec Comments

“We are incredibly excited to be completing this acquisition and officially joining the Alpha Compute family,” said Martin Zakovec, CEO of GAMEE. “The short timing adjustment to May is entirely routine—it reflects finalizing our 2025 audit to the standard required for a Nasdaq-listed transaction—and we expect to close smoothly and on schedule. What matters most is the shared vision we have built with the Alpha Compute team. With access to their AI compute infrastructure, our game platform will be able to deliver experiences that have never been possible before. The Q1 numbers speak for themselves: our community is growing, our revenue is accelerating, and our position in the Telegram ecosystem has never been stronger. We are eager to close and enter the next chapter of GAMEE’s story as part of Alpha Compute.”

Diana Shipping Inc. Calls on Genco Shipping & Trading to Stop Delaying 2026 Annual Meeting

Preliminary Proxy Statement Filed Today Conspicuously Omits Annual Meeting Date; Does Not Set Record Date After Reserving Three Separate Dates 

Board is Entrenching Itself by Manipulating Annual Meeting Process to Avoid Giving Shareholders a Voice in Their Company’s Future

Genco Continues Campaign of Misinformation Regarding Diana to Distract from the Fully Financed, All-Cash Offer Delivering Certain, Premium Value at Cyclically High Asset Values Available Now

ATHENS, Greece, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE: DSX) (“Diana” or “the Company”), a global shipping company specializing in the ownership and bareboat charter-in of dry bulk vessels that owns approximately 14.8% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Genco Shipping & Trading Limited (NYSE: GNK) (“Genco”), today called on the Genco Board of Directors (the “Genco Board”) to immediately announce the date of its 2026 Annual Meeting at which shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on important matters related to the future of their company.

Today, Genco filed its preliminary proxy statement — yet still has not announced an Annual Meeting date or set a record date. In fact, Genco has reserved, and communicated to brokers, three separate potential record dates for the Annual Meeting – April 4, April 28 and May 18, 2026 – but has not set one. In addition to confusing brokers and potential voters, reserving multiple record dates without setting one, is an attempt by the Genco Board to manipulate the proxy machinery. Diana intends to respond to the numerous inaccurate and misleading statements contained in Genco’s preliminary proxy statement in due course.

By not setting an Annual Meeting date, the Genco Board is entrenching itself at a time when it is important for shareholders to have a voice in the future of their company, including the opportunity to vote on Diana’s highly qualified nominees for election to the Genco Board of Directors.

In addition, Genco’s proxy statement intentionally does not disclose the amount of shareholder money it has spent on denying shareholders the opportunity to realize the value of Diana’s proposal to acquire Genco.

Semiramis Paliou, Diana’s Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“Filing a proxy statement without announcing a meeting date or a record date is not a clerical error, it is a strategy. The Genco Board is systematically manipulating every tool available to further entrench itself by delaying the moment when shareholders get to have their say in Genco’s future. Each day without a meeting date is another day that Genco shareholders are denied the opportunity to elect directors who will ensure every strategic alternative to deliver shareholder value is fully and fairly considered.

“This Board has refused to take a single meeting or call in the five months since we offered to acquire Genco and deliver attractive value to shareholders. It has unilaterally adopted a poison pill (and later lowered the trigger to 10%), adopted a so-called retention plan without disclosing to shareholders the full potential cost of the plan. It has engaged in an extensive misinformation campaign to distract shareholders. Now it is manipulating its annual meeting calendar because it knows what the outcome could be. Shareholders deserve a board that does not play games, and we intend to make sure they get the chance to have a voice in the future of their company.”

Diana calls on the Genco Board to immediately announce the date of the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and the associated record date. It is time to stop using procedural tactics to disenfranchise the very shareholders the Board claims to serve.

About Diana Shipping Inc.

Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE: DSX) is a global provider of shipping transportation services through its ownership and bareboat charter-in of dry bulk vessels. The Company’s vessels are employed primarily on short to medium-term time charters and transport a range of dry bulk cargoes, including such commodities as iron ore, coal, grain and other materials along worldwide shipping routes.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release and other statements made by the Company may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the intent, beliefs, expectations, objectives, goals, future events, performance or strategies and other statements of the Company and its management team, which are other than statements of historical facts.

The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the Company’s proposal to acquire Genco and the anticipated benefits of such a transaction, and the Company’s ability to finance such transaction. Forward looking statements can be identified by words such as “believe,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “plan,” “potential,” “may,” “should,” “expect,” “pending” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release and in other statements made by the Company are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, Company management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records, Genco’s public filings and disclosures and data available from third parties. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies that are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company’s control, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based on current expectations, assumptions, and estimates, and are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. These include, without limitation, risks relating to: (i) the possibility that the proposed transaction may not proceed; (ii) the ability to obtain regulatory or shareholder approvals, if required; (iii) the risk that Genco’s Board of Directors or management may continue to oppose the proposal or not respond to further attempted engagement by Diana; (iv) failure to realize anticipated benefits of the transaction; (v) changes in the financial or operating performance of the Company or Genco; and (vi) general economic, market, and industry conditions. These and other risks are described in documents filed by the Company with, or furnished by the Company to, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and its other subsequent documents filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.

Important Additional Information and Where to Find It

The Company and the other Participants (as defined below) have filed a preliminary proxy statement and accompanying GOLD universal proxy card with the SEC to be used to solicit proxies for, among other matters, the election of Diana’s director nominees to the board of directors of Genco at Genco’s 2026 Annual Meeting, the passage of Diana’s proposal to repeal, at Genco’s 2026 Annual Meeting, by-laws of Genco not publicly disclosed by Genco on or prior to August 28, 2025 and a proposal that the board of directors of Genco conduct a process to explore strategic alternatives (such preliminary proxy statement and the accompanying universal GOLD proxy card are available here).

Promptly after the filing of a definitive proxy statement with the SEC, Diana expects to mail or otherwise send the Participants’ definitive proxy statement and accompanying universal GOLD proxy card to each Genco shareholder entitled to vote at the 2026 Annual Meeting. Shareholders of Genco are strongly advised to read the Participants’ proxy statement and other proxy materials, including the accompanying GOLD proxy card, as they become available because they will contain important information.

SEGG Media Enters Sports Predictions Market via Sports.com Predict

  • SEGG Media forms Sports Predicts Limited to expand Sports.com into prediction markets with imminent plans to partner with an industry leader in the space.
  • By tapping into a rapidly growing segment, it is expected to create a high-margin, recurring revenue stream for SEGG Media beginning ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

FORT WORTH, Texas, April 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sports Entertainment Gaming Global Corporation (NASDAQ: SEGG, LTRYW) (the “Company” or “SEGG Media”) today announced the launch of Sports.com Predict, marking the Company’s entry into the rapidly growing prediction markets space. The initiative will be developed and operated through Sports Predicts Limited, a SEGG Media company, and integrated into the Sports.com platform.

Prediction markets have emerged as one of the fastest-growing segments of digital finance and sports engagement. An estimated 70% of prediction market trading is already sports-related, with total event contract volumes expected to grow to $1 trillion by 2030.1

Currently in development, Sports.com Predict will introduce prediction functionality directly into the Sports.com ecosystem, creating a high-margin, recurring revenue stream for SEGG Media. By embedding prediction markets at the heart of Sports.com, the Company expects to convert fan engagement into transactional activity, unlocking a scalable growth engine as the global prediction markets sector expands.

Following recent marquee transactions, including the acquisitions of Veloce Media Group and Quadrant, the launch of Sports.com Predict represents a key milestone in SEGG Media’s growth strategy and is expected to be a material contributor to revenue beginning in 2026.

Leveraging the Company’s existing audience ecosystem, with Veloce’s channels alone exceeding 500 million monthly views, the platform supports SEGG Media’s strategy of building scalable sports and media assets that drive both monetization and audience migration across its portfolio.

How Sports.com Predict will deliver value:

  • Sports.com Predict will earn revenue from transaction fees linked to user activity, broadening SEGG Media’s income streams.
  • Integrated with the main Sports.com platform, it will turn audience engagement into transactions.
  • As SEGG Media’s dedicated unit for prediction markets, it supports efficient global growth within established regulatory and tech frameworks.

The platform is being rolled out in phases, subject to regulatory considerations and development progress, with an anticipated launch in summer 2026.

Daniel Bailey, SEGG Media’s Chief Commercial Officer and CEO of Veloce, commented
:
“Prediction markets represent a high-growth, emerging category that aligns with our strategy to expand Sports.com into a more interactive, monetizable destination. Bringing one of the fastest-growing markets to our ecosystem allows us to grow our user base and connect audiences with the sports, entertainment, and experiences they love. We expect to move from development to an initial rollout quickly, with the goal of being live in time for the start of the 2026 World Cup.

“Sports.com Predict is a significant step for Sports.com and its users as we continue our long-term strategy of building scalable, high-growth, high-margin revenue streams and ultimately delivering value for our shareholders.”

LKQ Corporation Notice of June 22, 2026 Application Deadline for Class Action Lawsuit – Contact Lewis Kahn, Esq. at Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC, Before Application Deadline

NEW YORK & NEW ORLEANS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”) and KSF partner, former Attorney General of Louisiana, Charles C. Foti, Jr., notifies investors in LKQ Corporation (“LKQ” or the “Company”) (NasdaqGS: LKQ) of a class action securities lawsuit.

CASE DETAILS: According to the Complaint, LKQ and certain of its executives are charged with failing to disclose material information during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws. The claims against Defendants arise from misrepresentations related to the Company’s acquisition of FinishMaster, completed in August 2023, and subsequent integration.

On July 24, 2025, the Company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings that missed analyst expectations and significantly cut its full-year guidance. Among other things, the Company disclosed that its Wholesale North America segment’s margin performance continued to decline, with the Company missing EBITDA targets by approximately $20 million and suffering a year-over-year decline of 11% primarily due to increased competition from others in the industry.

On this news, the price of LKQ’s shares fell by 17.8%. or $6.88 per share.

The case is City of Miami General Employees’ & Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust v. LKQ Corporation, No. 26-cv-00498.

WHAT TO DO? If you invested in LKQ and suffered a loss during the relevant time frame, you have until June 22, 2026 to request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff; however, your ability to share in any recovery does not require that you serve as a lead plaintiff.
