Schneider marks 35 years of Intermodal expertise: delivering truck-like reliability with increased efficiency

Fast Track and industry-leading growth of U.S.-Mexico lanes are latest examples of continuous innovation in the network known for breadth and consistency

GREEN BAY, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Schneider National, Inc. (NYSE: SNDR), a premier multimodal provider of transportation, intermodal and logistics services, is celebrating 35 years of delivering flexible Intermodal solutions that drive efficiency, help control costs and unlock growth for customers.

Schneider provides decades of proven, scalable intermodal expertise at a time when shippers need reliability and flexible capacity. The company has differentiated its offering through company-owned assets, unique cross-border solutions and a dedicated team focused on continuous innovation.

Notable intermodal accomplishments over 35 years include:

  • Scaling to offer intermodal shipping in nearly every major U.S. market within one year of launching.

  • Investing in company-owned chassis and containers for greater reliability and control for both shippers and drivers.

  • Growing Schneider’s partnership with CPKC to offer the fastest and most direct service between Mexico and the Midwest.

  • Opening a new cross-border lane with CPKC and CSX in 2024, directly connecting Mexico with the Southeast United States.

  • Building and operating one of the industry’s largest battery electric vehicle (BEV) fleets, which supports the company’s Intermodal operations in California.

  • Over 90% of Schneider’s domestic dray moves are completed by uniformed company dray drivers, which provides shippers enhanced reliability.

  • Offering drivers fulfilling career opportunities with consistent freight, well-maintained equipment, competitive pay and superior home time frequency.

  • Launching Fast Track, a premium Intermodal service for time‑sensitive, high‑touch freight, combining priority rail placement, expedited drayage, proactive control‑tower management and an asset‑based recovery backstop.

“With more than 60 intermodal rail hubs across North America and some of the most reliable cross-border lanes, Schneider Intermodal has grown into a premier network that delivers speed and consistency for our customers,” said Schneider Senior Vice President and General Manager of Intermodal Michael Baumgardt. “Our continued success is a direct result of the innovative strategies and dedication our associates and rail partners bring every day. This milestone is a testament to their hard work and our shared commitment to delivering exceptional shipping experiences.”

Why Schneider: effortless experience for intermodal shippers

Company-owned intermodal equipment

One key differentiator of Schneider Intermodal is company-owned assets, including tractors and approximately 23,900 chassis and 26,800 containers. A strategic investment decision made more than a decade ago, this offers shippers greater control, consistency and availability. Schneider’s lightweight, company-owned equipment allows shippers to deliver more freight per shipment, for up to 10% more per payload.

Cross-border performance

Schneider has experienced exponential growth in cross-border Intermodal, and the demand continues to grow. Through its partnership with CPKC, the company offers a zero hand-off, single-rail cross-border route. Additionally, Schneider and CPKC have achieved a 99.98% cargo security rating in and out of Mexico.

Continuous innovation

The Schneider Intermodal team is focused on staying ahead of market demands. The company’s newest offering, Fast Track, delivers some of the most reliable and consistent intermodal lanes in the industry. With 24/7 shipment monitoring and proactive communication from an expert team, shippers benefit from real-time visibility and minimized disruptions backed by Schneider’s asset-based multimodal network.

Professional drivers

Schneider’s Intermodal service also provides opportunities for drivers. Schneider Intermodal drivers are offered consistent freight with access to well-maintained company-owned chassis that save time and headaches. With competitive pay, predictable routes and superior home time frequency, Schneider Intermodal drivers enjoy steady miles and the opportunity to grow their careers and contribute to a successful transportation solution.

In the next 35 years and beyond, Schneider will continue to create innovative new opportunities for shippers, helping make it easier to achieve business goals and navigate shifting supply chains.

Flyte Increases Capacity and Launches Hiring Initiative as Spirit Airlines Shutdown Disrupts U.S. Air Travel

Premium Short-Haul Operator Continues Planned Vision Jet Fleet Expansion and Opens Hiring Pipeline for Impacted Pilots and Aviation Professionals

FORT MILL, SC, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — — Flyte, the regional air mobility subsidiary of Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE American: VTAK) (“VTAK” or the “Company”), today announced increased flight capacity and the launch of a targeted hiring initiative following the shutdown of Spirit Airlines, which ceased operations on May 2, 2026 after failing to secure funding.

Spirit Airlines’ abrupt exit has led to widespread flight cancellations, impacted approximately 17,000 employees of which over 2,400 were pilots, and stranded passengers nationwide, marking one of the largest U.S. airline disruptions in recent decades. The disruption has reduced available capacity across key domestic routes, contributing to tighter availability and higher fares.

“This is a difficult moment for many in our industry, and our thoughts are with the thousands of aviation professionals whose careers have been disrupted,” said Marc Sellouk, CEO of Flyte. “Flyte’s product, pricing, and service model are fundamentally different from those of a major commercial carrier. Where we can contribute meaningfully is by creating opportunities for impacted pilots and crew, and by continuing to deliver reliable, premium short-haul regional service to the customers we already serve”
Flyte is continuing the planned expansion of its Vision Jet fleet and broadening its regional route coverage within the premium short-haul segment it already serves. These steps reflect Flyte’s existing growth plan rather than a substitute offering for displaced commercial passengers, whose travel needs differ from Flyte’s product and pricing model.”

Reduced capacity is expected to affect pricing, availability, and travel patterns across routes historically served by Spirit Airlines, including Northeast-to-Florida and regional corridors. Industry participants, including JetBlue Airways, Delta Air Lines, and American Airlines, are expected to absorb a portion of displaced demand as the market adjusts to reduced supply. Flyte believes these conditions may contribute to higher fares and increased interest in alternative travel options, particularly in short-haul markets where flexibility and reliability are a priority.

Flyte is accelerating the expansion of its Vision Jet fleet and optimizing route coverage across high-demand regional corridors. The company expects these adjustments to support increased utilization and improve service availability as commercial capacity remains constrained.

The most direct way Flyte can contribute to those affected by the shutdown is to hire them. The company is launching a hiring initiative focused on pilots and other aviation professionals impacted by Spirit’s exit, including a structured onboarding and training pipeline for pilots transitioning into Flyte’s operations as the fleet expands.
“We recognize the level of talent affected and see an opportunity to provide a path forward for experienced aviation professionals and pilots,” Sellouk said.

Flyte expects continued steady demand for its premium short-haul service as it executes its planned fleet expansion and hiring initiatives.

ABOUT FLYTE

Flyte is a technology-enabled regional air mobility company operating a growing fleet of Cirrus Vision Jets. Focused on short-haul markets, Flyte provides a faster and more efficient alternative to traditional private charter travel.

Flight operations are conducted through Flyte’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ponderosa Air, LLC, an FAA-certified Part 135 air carrier. With active operations and ongoing fleet expansion, Flyte is building a scalable aviation platform designed to serve underserved regional markets.

PHILADELPHIA, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —


LKQ CORPORATION (NASDAQ: LKQ):

WHAT IS HAPPENING? Grabar Law Office is investigating potential claims on behalf of investors of LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ: LKQ). The investigation concerns whether certain officers of the company have breached their fiduciary duties they owed to the company.

WHY? A recently filed federal securities class action alleges that LKQ Corporation (NASDAQ: LKQ), through certain of its senior executives, misled investors regarding the performance and risks associated with its $2.1 billion acquisition of Uni-Select, including the FinishMaster business.

According to the underlying securities fraud complaint, LKQ Corporation, through certain of its officers, made materially false and misleading statements and failed to disclose that: (1) FinishMaster was losing major customers even before the acquisition closed; (2) the business was unable to maintain market share amid increasing competition; (3) integration efforts were not producing the expected revenue or margin benefits; and (4) competitive pricing pressure was eroding profitability. As a result, it is alleged that LKQ’s reported financial strength and growth prospects were materially overstated. Investors only began to learn the truth through a series of disclosures between April 2024 and July 2025, when LKQ cut financial guidance multiple times; reported missed revenue and margin targets; admitted that FinishMaster had been losing customers since before the acquisition; and disclosed ongoing market share losses due to competitive pricing pressure.

WHAT CAN YOU DO NOW?

Defendants’ statements included, among other things, confidence in the Company’s ability to maintain ARR projections while converting both its federal and non-federal existing on-prem customers to the software-asa-service (“SaaS”) alternative offering. Such statements were made while failing to disclose material adverse facts concerning the true state of Varonis’ ability to convert its existing customer base; notably, that it was not truly equipped to convince existing users of the benefits of converting to the SaaS offering or otherwise maintain those customers on its platform, resulting in significantly reduced ARR growth potential in the near-term. When Varonis announced its financial results for the third quarter of fiscal 2025, disclosing a significant miss to ARR and reducing its projections for the full fiscal year 2025, the stock suffered a massive single-day decline of over 48%.

SKK Holdings Signs Definitive Asset Purchase Agreement with Rantizo, Inc. to Acquire Drone Assets in Approximately $258.8 Million Asset Acquisition, Establishing Publicly-Traded Operator of Drone-Based Platforms for Commercial Applications

SINGAPORE, May 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SKK Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: SKK) (“SKK Holdings” or the “Company”), today announced that it has entered into a definitive asset purchase agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Rantizo, Inc. (“Rantizo”), a Delaware corporation headquartered in Houston, Texas, under which SKK Holdings will acquire substantially all of Rantizo’s drone-assets used in agricultural spraying, seeding, and monitoring for agriculture, forestry emergency response, and commercial applications (the “Acquired Assets”). The Acquired Assets will be acquired in exchange for newly issued Class A ordinary shares of SKK Holdings.

Concurrently with the signing of the Asset Purchase Agreement, certain existing SKK Holdings shareholders have entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Rantizo (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which Rantizo will acquire Class B ordinary shares held by those shareholders (such shares, along with the shares issued in the Asset Purchase Agreement, the “Consideration Shares”) for aggregate cash consideration of $8 million, giving Rantizo an immediate equity position in the Company. The Company has also agreed to grant certain individuals in management a total number of Class A shares having an aggregate grant-date value of $12,000,000 based on the VWAP on each of the three trading days prior to closing. The Asset Purchase Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement are expected to close concurrently, subject to SKK Holdings shareholder approval, Nasdaq approval, the effectiveness of applicable regulatory clearances, and other customary closing conditions. The boards of directors of Rantizo and the Company each unanimously approved the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement and related transactions.

Upon closing, SKK Holdings will operate a platform combining drone technology and commercial infrastructure across precision agriculture, forestry emergency response, and broader commercial end markets. The Company intends to pair the Acquired Assets with access to the U.S. public capital markets to accelerate commercialization, deepen customer relationships, and pursue follow-on opportunities as the unmanned aerial systems sector continues to consolidate around scaled operators.

Sze Koon Kiat, Chief Executive Officer of SKK Holdings, stated: “The Rantizo asset base gives SKK Holdings a differentiated platform in one of the fastest-growing segments of the unmanned systems economy, with applications across agriculture and emergency response — each a market where the economics and regulatory environment increasingly favor scaled operators with integrated technology, data, and customer infrastructure. Combining a Nasdaq-listed capital structure with Rantizo’s technology and commercial relationships is designed to accelerate what would otherwise take years to build organically. This transaction materially expands the scope of what SKK Holdings can pursue on behalf of its shareholders.”

Marianne McInerney, incoming President of SKK Holdings in connection with the transactions, added: “Transferring Rantizo’s drone-based technology and commercial infrastructure into a Nasdaq-listed vehicle gives the business the capital access and governance profile this industry now demands. We view the next 24 months as a decisive window for commercial drone operators with the right assets, balance sheet, and governance to capture market share.”

Transaction Highlights

  • Consideration: Rantizo will receive newly issued Class A ordinary shares of SKK Holdings in a formula-based issuance referencing the volume weighted average price of SKK Holdings Class A ordinary shares over the three (3) trading days prior to the date of closing and the total fully-diluted shares outstanding. The Acquired Assets are being acquired at a $258.8 million valuation, The Company received an independent third-party valuation of Rantizo from Newbridge Securities Corporation, and such third-party valuation was part of the Company’s internal process to get to the valuation of the Acquired Assets. Following the closing of the transactions, Rantizo will own the substantial majority of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares of SKK Holdings.
  • Concurrent Share Purchase: Rantizo will acquire Class B ordinary shares from certain existing SKK Holdings shareholders for an aggregate cash consideration of $8 million, giving Rantizo an immediate equity position concurrently with the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement.
  • Board Representation: At closing, Rantizo will have the right to nominate two (2) directors to SKK Holdings’ board of directors, consisting of one (1) executive director and one (1) independent director, meeting all Nasdaq and SEC independence requirements.
  • Registration Rights: The Company has agreed to register the resale of the Consideration Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to a customary registration rights agreement to be entered into at closing.
  • Lock-Up: Each director and officer of SKK Holdings at closing will enter into a six-month lock-up agreement with respect to their SKK Holdings securities.
  • PIPE Transaction: At or prior to the closing, certain investors of Rantizo are expected to invest an aggregate of $10 million into Rantizo, the proceeds of which shall be deposited into an escrow account. Release of the proceeds of such capital raise to SKK Holdings is conditioned on the closing of the transactions. At closing, in consideration of payment to it of the $10 million from escrow, SKK has agreed to issue to Rantizo an additional number of its Class A ordinary shares based on the VWAP of the SKK Class A ordinary shares on each of the three trading days prior to closing.

Advisors

A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners is serving as the exclusive financial advisor to SKK Holdings. TroyGould PC is acting as legal counsel to SKK Holdings. Seward & Kissel LLP is acting as legal counsel to Rantizo.

Shareholder Meeting and Proxy Materials

SKK Holdings intends to convene an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “EGM”) to seek approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the issuance of the Consideration Shares, and an amendment to the Company’s memorandum and articles of association providing for the board nomination rights contemplated above. A Form 6-K containing the notice of meeting, proxy statement, and related materials will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and made available to shareholders. Shareholders are urged to read the proxy statement and other materials carefully when they become available because they will contain important information about the Company, the transactions, and related matters.

Northern Trust Pension Universe Data: Flat Returns for Canadian Pension Plans in Q1 as Geopolitical Tensions Intensified

Northern Trust Pension Universe Data: Flat Returns for Canadian Pension Plans in Q1 as Geopolitical Tensions Intensified

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Canadian pension plan returns were tempered by political frictions and a volatile backdrop in the first quarter of 2026, with the median pension plan rising modestly by 0.4% for the quarter, according to the Northern Trust Canada Universe.

Financial markets felt the brunt of global events during the quarter. War in the Middle East and the closure of a critical energy supply passage sparked fears of a global energy supply shock and rattled markets across the globe, while trade uncertainty continued to linger in the face of ongoing policy shifts surrounding tariffs. A partial U.S. government shutdown created additional disruption, while technology stocks in North America experienced a significant decline as investors assessed the implications of new artificial intelligence capabilities and increasing levels of capital investment in the AI space.

Most major central banks chose to maintain their respective benchmark rates at their current levels throughout the quarter, while monetary policymakers remained mindful of elevated energy prices and the potential impact on inflation. Major equity indices, with the exception of the U.S., managed to produce positive returns for the quarter in Canadian dollar terms, with Canadian stocks leading the way. The Canadian bond market rose modestly for the period.

“Economies have remained resilient while navigating through what has been undoubtedly a tumultuous landscape. Pension plans continue to harness this resiliency by remaining focused on key underlying data, their core principles and the sound investment strategies formulated by plan sponsors to secure long term sustainability,” said Katie Pries, Country Executive for Northern Trust Asset Servicing in Canada.

The Northern Trust Canada Universe tracks the performance of Canadian institutional defined benefit plans that subscribe to performance measurement services as part of Northern Trust’s asset service offerings.

Equity markets were shaken throughout the first quarter as geopolitical tensions escalated and soaring energy prices weighed on investors. Despite strong corporate fundamentals underpinned by a resilient consumer, these events triggered volatility and reignited macroeconomic uncertainty. Notwithstanding the ongoing turmoil, most major stock indices witnessed positive returns for the quarter, however U.S. stocks experienced a decline over the period. The bond market navigated through a cloud of unpredictability and inflationary concerns concluding the quarter with a muted outcome.

  • Canadian Equities, as measured by the S&P/TSX Composite Index, rose 3.9% for the quarter. The Energy sector outpaced all sectors, driven by the surge in oil prices. The Materials and Utilities sectors also witnessed attractive double-digit returns. Information Technology was the largest decliner, down over 22%, while the Health Care and Real Estate sectors were also weak performers within the index.

  • U.S. Equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index declined -2.6% in CAD for the quarter. The Energy sector was the best outperformer for the quarter followed by the Materials and Utilities sectors. The Financials, Consumer Discretionary and Information Technology sectors posted the weakest results over the period.

  • International developed markets, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, advanced 0.7% in CAD for the quarter. Similar to North American indices, the Energy sector led performance with attractive returns from the Utilities and Materials sectors as well. Meanwhile, the Consumer Discretionary sector closed the period with a double-digit decline.

  • The MSCI Emerging Markets Index gained 1.7% in CAD for the quarter. The Information Technology sector led performance across the index followed by the energy sector. The Communication Services and Consumer Discretionary sectors observed the weakest returns with double-digit losses over the period.

The Canadian economy felt the pressures of higher energy prices and U.S. tariff uncertainty throughout the quarter. The labour market exhibited signs of softening while the risk of inflationary pressures from the Middle East conflict remained top of mind. The unemployment rate finished the quarter at 6.7%, down from 6.8% in December, though over 100,000 net jobs were lost. The Bank of Canada (BoC) chose to maintain its key benchmark rate at 2.25% at both meetings held during the quarter. The BoC noted that risks to growth appear tilted to the downside, highlighting data pointing to weaker economic activity and elevated uncertainty and as a result would continue to assess impacts around trade uncertainty and U.S. tariffs.

The Canadian Fixed Income market, as measured by the FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index, posted 0.2% for the quarter. Federal bonds outperformed both provincial and corporate bonds while mid-term bonds outpaced both short and long-term bonds over the period.

The U.S. economy started the year on a firm footing, however higher inflation readings surfaced throughout the period challenging the economic backdrop. The Federal Reserve (Fed) held the fed funds interest rate steady throughout the quarter at 3.50 – 3.75%, as policymakers deal with a soft labour market, higher-than expected inflation readings, and the U.S.-Iran conflict in the Middle East. The Fed governor emphasized that it was “too soon to know” the economic impact from the war and noted that while the spike in energy would stoke inflation, the extent remains unknown.

International markets held up reasonably well during the first quarter in the face of elevated energy prices and inflationary challenges. The European Central Bank (ECB) held the deposit rate steady at 2.0%, emphasizing the impact soaring energy prices would have on inflation. The Bank of England (BoE) also elected to hold interest rates steady at 3.75% as it evaluates the U.S.-Iran conflict, as surging oil and gas prices add upward pressure on inflation. The Bank of Japan (BoJ) held rates steady at 0.75% as expected.

Emerging markets experienced positive returns for the first quarter despite global macroeconomic uncertainty and political tensions. The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) held its one-and five-year loan prime rates (LPR) steady at 3.0% and 3.5% respectively, amid surging oil prices and conflict tensions. The Central Bank of Brazil chose to lower its key Selic rate to 14.75% after previously holding the rate at 15% for a prolonged period. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) held interest rates steady at 5.25% as forecasted.

JetBlue will launch new nonstop service between Fort Lauderdale and destinations across the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean.

  • Six new JetBlue cities: Barranquilla, Colombia2; Baltimore; Cali, Colombia2; Charlotte, N.C.; Columbus, Ohio; and Indianapolis.

  • New nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale to existing JetBlue cities: Nashville, Tenn.; Detroit; Houston; Chicago; and Ponce, Puerto Rico.

  • On high-demand existing routes from Fort Lauderdale JetBlue is adding additional daily flights to Austin, Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Dallas/Fort Worth, Raleigh-Durham, Santo Domingo, and Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic.

  • From its focus city in San Juan, JetBlue will also launch service to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI).

“We’re stepping up for Fort Lauderdale to ensure the availability of air service in this market,” said Marty St. George, president, JetBlue. “Our focus is simple: make it easier for customers to stay connected with the people and places that matter, while delivering the service, comfort and value they expect from JetBlue.”

The new and expanded flying, now available for booking, builds on JetBlue’s position as Fort Lauderdale’s largest airline and reflects the carrier’s long-term commitment to South Florida, which has been a cornerstone of the JetBlue network since its first flight. With this growth, JetBlue expects to operate nearly 130 daily departures from Fort Lauderdale this summer, marking the largest operation in the airline’s history from the airport and more than 75% more daily flights than in 2025.

The new routes give South Florida customers continued nonstop options for leisure, business and visiting friends and family, while also ensuring convenient access to Fort Lauderdale’s beaches, cruise port and the broader South Florida region. The additional flying leverages JetBlue’s existing scale, crews and infrastructure in South Florida, where the airline continues to grow its focus city.

New Loyalty Status Match for Spirit Airlines Free Spirit Members

As JetBlue expands in Fort Lauderdale, the airline is also making it easier for eligible Spirit Airlines loyalty members to continue receiving recognition and perks. For a limited time, Spirit Airlines Free Spirit Silver and Gold members can request a status match to JetBlue’s TrueBlue Mosaic program, giving travelers access to many of the benefits that make the JetBlue experience stand out.

“We know many Spirit customers are feeling the loss of the loyalty they built over time,” said St. George. “Our status match is designed to recognize that commitment and give them a seamless path forward with JetBlue—particularly in Fort Lauderdale, where we’re expanding service and offering more ways to travel with us.”

Through the new offer, eligible Free Spirit Silver and Gold members can match to Mosaic 1 and Mosaic 2 status and begin enjoying benefits designed to make travel more rewarding, seamless and comfortable. JetBlue’s TrueBlue program gives members more value and flexibility, with opportunities to earn points, unlock perks, and access benefits across JetBlue’s growing network, including its expanded schedule from Fort Lauderdale.
