SUNation Energy Signs Letters of Intent with Energy Systems Group to Construct 2.35 MWDC of Solar Projects at Two Prominent School Districts on Long Island, NY

Work On Ten (10) Buildings Will Generate Over 3 Megawatt Hours of Renewable Solar Power Annually

RONKONKOMA, N.Y., April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SUNation Energy, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNE), a leading provider of sustainable solar energy and backup power solutions for households, businesses, and municipalities, has signed separate Letters of Intent (LOI) with Energy Systems Group (ESG), an award-winning energy services company, for the deployment of over 2.35 MWs of solar power at two school districts on Long Island.

Collectively, these installations are designed to deliver 3 megawatt hours (MWHs) of clean solar energy across 10 buildings that would offset a substantial majority of each district’s energy needs.

The projects under LOI are:

  • A total of seven (7) schools and facility buildings within a prominent school district on Long Island for a total generation potential of 1.3 MW. The system will be comprised of rooftop solar arrays. Upon completion, this installation would generate approximately 1,687,723 kwh/year which would provide an estimated 75.85% energy offset for the district.
  • A total of three (3) buildings within another Long Island-based school district for a total generation potential of 1.057 MW. The system will be comprised of rooftop solar arrays. Upon completion, the installation would generate approximately 1,371,712 kwh/year which would provide an offset of an estimated 87.3% of the district’s energy needs.

“We are convinced that there is a strong institutional demand for commercial-scale solar projects that deliver value,” SUNation Energy CEO Scott Maskin said. “These districts deserve the benefits of solar energy, and we’re happy to deliver. We look forward to working with our partners at ESG and these school districts to advance the approval process and secure a cleaner, greener future for our neighbors in these communities.”

Mr. Maskin concluded, “We are proud to add both of these projects into our significant portfolio of Long Island school districts in the SUNation family.”

The projects contemplated by these Letters of Intent are subject to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, ongoing discussions between the parties and the signing of definitive agreements.

NUBURU Secures Funding to Eliminate Outstanding Payables and Paves the Way for Strategic Acquisitions in Defense and Security Market

CENTENNIAL, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NUBURU, Inc. (NYSE American: BURU), a pioneering leader in high-power blue laser technology, announces a transformative strategic update underscoring its commitment to advancing into high-growth markets and is pleased to announce the company has secured funding partners to address up to approx. $3.4 million in accounts payables left from previous management, enabling NUBURU to eliminate past debts and enhance its financial flexibility.

This pivotal announcement comes on the heels of NUBURU’s previous strategic investment in Supply@ME Capital Plc, a $5.15 million on-demand convertible funding commitment, which further positions the company to pivot towards a capital-light, sustainable growth approach through innovative fintech solutions. The integration of SYME’s financial platform will provide liquidity and empower NUBURU to maintain competitive inventory levels as it braces for exciting growth in the defense and security sectors.

“We are excited to share these strategic updates with our shareholders and underscore our focus on creating significant value through our dual business lines,” said Alessandro Zamboni, Executive Chairman of NUBURU. “This material progress on settling our past liabilities, combined with our strategic investments and acquisitions in cutting-edge defense and security technologies, cements NUBURU’s position as a leader in high-demand markets.

“The next final step will comprise the settlement of the last residual Company liabilities. In this regard, we are working on a solution, in the interests of our shareholders, in order to manage the redemption obligations of the Company with respect to the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.”

As part of the company’s aggressive growth strategy, NUBURU is on track to finalize the acquisition of a Defense & Security Hub. This hub will focus on delivering cutting-edge products tailored for defense applications, also by leveraging the Company’s blue laser know-how, while extending robust security solutions through a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, addressing critical regulatory requirements in sectors demanding operational resilience.

These anticipated acquisitions are projected to contribute over $50 million in revenue during 2025, contingent upon regulatory and shareholder approvals. NUBURU’s pioneering efforts in blue laser technology and its expansion into sophisticated applications demonstrate the company’s adaptive strategies and commitment to diversification within the manufacturing and high-tech sectors.

About NUBURU

NUBURU, Inc. was founded in 2015 as a developer and manufacturer of industrial blue laser technology that is transforming the speed and quality of laser-based manufacturing.

Elliott Releases Fourth Episode of “Streamline 66” Podcast Series Featuring 1:1 Conversation with Director Nominee Sigmund Cornelius

Discussion Focuses on His Significant Experience at ConocoPhillips and Importance of Evaluating Opportunities to Realize Full Value of Phillips 66’s Assets

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.
, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Elliott Investment Management L.P. (“Elliott”), which manages funds that together make it a top five shareholder in Phillips 66 (NYSE: PSX) (the “Company” or “Phillips”), today released the fourth episode of the Streamline 66 Podcast. The series features 1:1 conversations with Elliott’s highly qualified director nominees (“Nominees” or “Nominee”), as well as industry experts.  

The latest installment features Nominee Sigmund Cornelius, who served as CFO at the predecessor company of Phillips 66, ConocoPhillips, where he oversaw a substantial divestiture and simplification program that led to a material increase in shareholder value. Mr. Cornelius said:

  • “I think [Phillips 66] has great assets that right now are locked up in an organization, a business that frankly the Street doesn’t know how to evaluate. Is Phillips 66 a refining and marketing company? Or is it a midstream company? Or is it both? And by the way, we have this investment in CP Chem – what is the strategic rationale for that? So, great assets, they need to be liberated.”

  • “I was an advocate late in my career that we should look seriously at splitting [ConocoPhillips]. The market was telling us that the company valuation was such that these are really two different companies. You end up with a sub-allocation of capital. I think history has shown that it was the right decision.”

  • “[Phillips 66] is a company that has good people, has a rich history, and great assets that don’t necessarily belong together. So, I’m excited for the opportunity [to join the Board]. I’m excited to bring my experience one more time to the game. And I think the opportunity here could not be clearer.”

Episodes can be accessed on Streamline66.com/podcast, and are available on Apple, Spotify and everywhere podcasts are heard. You can also watch the full episodes on YouTube at youtube.com/@Streamline66.

Atossa Therapeutics Announces Issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,275,684, Further Strengthening (Z)-endoxifen Portfolio

SEATTLE, April 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATOS) (“Atossa” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative medicines for breast cancer, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted a new patent (U.S. Patent No. 12,275,684) directed to enteric oral formulations comprising (Z)-endoxifen as well as methods of treating subjects with those oral formulations.

This newly granted patent further fortifies Atossa’s intellectual property portfolio surrounding its proprietary (Z)-endoxifen formulations, encompassing novel compositions and methods related to (Z)-endoxifen, a potent Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM). Specifically, the patent covers enteric oral formulations of (Z)-endoxifen and salts thereof as well as their use in treating hormone-dependent breast and reproductive tract disorders.

“The issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,275,684 marks a significant milestone in our mission to advance innovative treatments for breast cancer. This patent not only reinforces our commitment to protecting our intellectual property but also underscores our dedication to delivering effective therapeutic options to patients,” said Steven Quay, M.D., Ph.D., Atossa’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “We remain steadfast in our pursuit of scientific excellence and patient-centered solutions to address the persisting unmet medical needs in breast cancer treatment and prevention.”

Atossa’s robust patent estate now includes multiple U.S. patents, collectively encompassing over 100 claims related to (Z)-endoxifen formulations and their clinical applications. This comprehensive and ongoing protection strategy bolsters the company’s continued leadership in developing targeted therapies for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer.​

About (Z)-Endoxifen

(Z)-endoxifen is one of the most potent Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM) for estrogen receptor inhibition and may cause estrogen receptor degradation. It has also been shown to have efficacy in the setting of patients with tumor resistance to other hormonal treatments. In addition to its potent anti-estrogen effects, (Z)-endoxifen has been shown to target PKCβ1, a known oncogenic protein, at clinically attainable blood concentrations. Finally, (Z)-endoxifen appears to deliver similar or even greater bone agonistic effects while resulting in little or no endometrial proliferative effects compared with standard treatments, like tamoxifen.

Atossa is developing a proprietary oral formulation of (Z)-endoxifen that is encapsulated to bypass the stomach, as acidic conditions in the stomach convert a significant proportion of (Z)-endoxifen to the inactive (E)-endoxifen. Atossa’s (Z)-endoxifen has been shown to be well tolerated in clinical studies of women with and without breast cancer. (Z)-endoxifen is currently being studied both for the treatment and prevention of breast cancer, including a program in metastatic breast cancer that was announced earlier this year.

About Atossa Therapeutics

Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATOS) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming breast cancer treatment through innovative science and patient-focused solutions. The company’s lead product candidate, (Z)-endoxifen, is a highly potent SERM designed for use across the breast cancer spectrum, including prevention, neoadjuvant, adjuvant, and metastatic settings. Atossa is committed to advancing its robust clinical research programs to improve patient outcomes while creating sustainable value for shareholders.
