The company has spent years building trusted data and relationships, and I am excited to work with the team to build on that foundation to accelerate growth and drive results for all our stakeholders,” said Warren.

Viswanathan continued, “On behalf of our entire team, I want to thank Helen for her partnership and significant contributions to FactSet. Over the past several months, Helen has played an important role in ensuring continuity and supporting a smooth transition following my joining the company. She has been an integral member of our executive team, helping position FactSet as an industry leader. As CFO, she advanced the company’s financial processes and infrastructure, including disciplined value-based pricing and the transformation of financial systems, and we are well placed to build on that progress as we move forward.”

Barrick Welcomes Ontario Court of Appeal’s Dismissal of Appeal Concerning North Mara Gold Mine

TORONTO, April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Barrick Mining Corporation (NYSE:B)(TSX:ABX) (“Barrick” or the “Company”) today welcomed the decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal dismissing an appeal by certain Tanzanian residents alleging human rights abuses by members of the Tanzanian Police Force in the vicinity of the Company’s North Mara gold mine. This decision upheld an earlier ruling of the Superior Court of Ontario which found that Ontario is not the appropriate forum to consider these claims and that they must be adjudicated in Tanzania.

Evidence filed during this case established that the Tanzanian Police Force acts independently of Barrick, which maintains a zero tolerance policy for human rights violations by employees, contractors or any third parties acting on its behalf.

Barrick’s President and Chief Executive Officer Mark Hill said: “Barrick is proud of our work in Tanzania, which we do in close partnership with all levels of government and our host communities. Our work together creates jobs, drives economic development and improves the lives of many Tanzanians.”

OR Royalties Announces Preliminary Q1 2026 GEO Deliveries and C$17.7 Million of Share Repurchases Under the Normal Course Issuer Bid 

MONTRÉAL, April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OR Royalties Inc. (“OR Royalties” or the “Company”) (OR: TSX & NYSE) is pleased to announce its first quarter 2026 preliminary deliveries, revenues and cash margin, as well as to provide an update on its cash and debt positions as at March 31st, 2026. All monetary amounts included in this report are expressed in United States dollars, unless otherwise noted.

PRELIMINARY Q1 2026 RESULTS

OR Royalties earned 22,740 attributable gold equivalent ounces1 (“GEOs”) in the first quarter of 2026.

OR Royalties recorded preliminary revenues from royalties and streams of $102.8 million during the first quarter, a quarterly record, and preliminary cost of sales (excluding depletion) of $3.3 million, resulting in a quarterly cash margin2 of approximately $99.5 million (96.8%).

As at March 31st, 2026, OR Royalties’ cash position was approximately $94.9 million, after repurchases of common shares made under the normal course issuer bid of $12.9 million (C$17.7 million) during the first quarter, and also following the end-of-March closing of the additional Namdini 1.0% net smelter return royalty transaction, originally announced in January 2026, which was funded using available cash on the balance sheet.

Furthermore, in February 2026, OR Royalties International Ltd. (“ORI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was notified that SolGold plc and Jiangxi Copper Company Limited were exercising their option to buy back 50% of the Cascabel gold stream. As a result, ORI received 4,290 ounces of gold (subject to a transfer price of 20%) as a one-time payment for the 50% buyback of the Cascabel stream, representing a net value of approximately $17.5 million on the delivery date.

OR Royalties’ revolving credit facility of $650.0 million (plus the uncommitted accordion of $200.0 million) was undrawn as at the end of the first quarter. The recently announced transactions to acquire a portfolio of royalty assets from Gold Fields Limited, as well as a basket of royalties covering Spring Valley from Sailfish Royalty Corp., are both expected to close early in the second quarter of 2026.

Notes

The figures presented in this press release, including the cash and debt balances, and the revenues and costs of sales, have not been audited and are subject to change. As the Company has not yet finished its quarter end procedures, the anticipated financial information presented in this press release is preliminary, subject to quarter end adjustments, and may change materially.

(1) Gold Equivalent Ounces
  GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. Silver and copper earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes earned by the average silver price or copper price for the period and dividing by the average gold price for the period. Cash royalties and other metals and commodities are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue earned by the average gold price for the period.

Gold (i) $4,873 $2,860
Silver (ii) $84.33 $31.88

(ii)    The London Bullion Market Association’s price in U.S. dollars per ounce.
(iii)   The London Metal Exchange’s price in U.S. dollars per tonne.

(2) Non-IFRS Measures

  Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by OR Royalties as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained by dividing the cash margin (in dollars) by the revenues.

Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate OR Royalties’ ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as gross margin and operating cash flows, to evaluate OR Royalties’ performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

  A reconciliation of the cash margin (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues) is presented below:

iBio Received Regulatory Clearance to Initiate Its Phase 1 Clinical Trial of IBIO-600 in Australia

IBIO-600 is a potentially best-in-class, long-acting anti-myostatin monoclonal antibody designed to preserve muscle and improve body composition

First participants expected to be dosed in 2Q 2026

SAN DIEGO, April 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — iBio, Inc. (NASDAQ: IBIO) (“iBio” or “the Company”), an AI-driven innovator developing therapies for cardiometabolic, obesity and cardiopulmonary diseases, today announced IBIO-600 has received Clinical Trial Notification (CTN) acknowledgement from Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and ethics approval from a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC), enabling the initiation of a first-in-human clinical trial of IBIO-600 in Australia.

The Phase 1 study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of IBIO-600 in overweight and obese adult participants. iBio expects to dose the first participant in the second quarter of 2026.

“This is a defining milestone for iBio as we transition to a clinical-stage company,” said Martin Brenner, D.V.M., Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of iBio. “While GLP-1 therapies have transformed the treatment landscape, significant gaps remain, particularly around the loss of muscle mass. We believe IBIO-600 has the potential to address this unmet need. Advancing IBIO-600 into the clinic only two years after program initiation also reflects the capabilities of our AI-integrated discovery platform and our team’s execution.”

IBIO-600 is a long-acting monoclonal antibody targeting myostatin and GDF11, negative regulators of skeletal muscle growth, and is designed to preserve lean mass and improve body composition in obesity. The therapy has the potential to be used alongside GLP-1 therapies to address muscle loss associated with weight reduction. IBIO-600 has been engineered for infrequent dosing, with the potential for administration two to four times per year.

Previously announced preclinical studies in non-human primates demonstrated sustained pharmacologic activity and an extended half-life of 40–52 days following a single administration, as well as dose-dependent increases in lean mass of up to 5.1%. These findings, observed alongside reductions in fat mass and durable effects over time, support the advancement of IBIO-600 into clinical development.

About iBio, Inc.

iBio (Nasdaq: IBIO) is a cutting-edge biotech company leveraging AI and advanced computational biology to develop next-generation biopharmaceuticals for cardiometabolic and cardiopulmonary diseases, obesity, cancer and other hard-to-treat diseases. By combining proprietary 3D modeling with innovative drug discovery platforms, iBio is creating a pipeline of breakthrough antibody treatments to address significant unmet medical needs. iBio’s mission is to transform drug discovery, accelerate development timelines, and unlock new possibilities in precision medicine.

Fred Lowery is the right person to lead Henry Schein into the next chapter, bringing vision, strong values, and a commitment to excellence,” said Mr. Bergman. “It has been an honor to serve as CEO and Chairman, and I look forward to remaining actively engaged in supporting the Board and management team in this new capacity.”

“On behalf of the entire organization, we would like to extend our gratitude to Stanley for his extraordinary leadership over many years, and we look forward to continuing to benefit from his insights and deep knowledge of Henry Schein and our industry in his role as Chairman Emeritus,” said Philip Laskawy, Lead Director of Henry Schein’s Board of Directors.

Bausch + Lomb Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for Bi-Blade+™ Dual-Port Vitrectomy Cutter and Adaptive Fluidics™ Advanced Update

Bausch + Lomb Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance for Bi-Blade+™ Dual-Port Vitrectomy Cutter and Adaptive Fluidics™ Advanced Update

  • Increased cutting speed of 25,000 cuts per minute1 is designed to minimize retinal traction,2 increase vitreous flow,1 and reduce infusion pressure fluctuations when used with Adaptive Fluidics.3*
  • Bi-Blade+ provides an average flow rate increase of 25%, enabling more efficient vitreous removal compared to Bi-Blade®.1*†
  • The resulting stability, efficiency and control help boost confidence for retina surgeons to deliver exceptional patient outcomes.

VAUGHAN, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Bausch + Lomb Corporation (NYSE/TSX: BLCO), a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted 510(k) clearance for the Bi-Blade+ advanced dual-port vitrectomy cutter and the Adaptive Fluidics advanced update on the Stellaris Elite® Vision Enhancement System.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260408564994/en/

“Retinal surgeons who are familiar with our Bi-Blade technology understand the benefits of its dual-port design, 100% open duty cycle and cutting speed of 15,000 cuts per minute,” said Wayne Caulder, vice president and general manager, North America Surgical, Bausch + Lomb. “Bi-Blade+ offers these features along with an increased cutting speed of 25,000 cuts per minute. When combined with Adaptive Fluidics, surgeons will experience stability, efficiency and control that will help streamline procedures and deliver exceptional patient outcomes.”

Bi-Blade+ provides an increased flow rate of 25%, enabling more efficient vitreous removal compared to Bi-Blade.1* At maximum speed, Bi-Blade+ also demonstrates a 62% reduction in cutter vibration compared to Bi-Blade, offering the surgeon optimized feel and comfort toward a stable surgical experience.4

The Adaptive Fluidics update automates fluid infusion to the eye in response to real-time vacuum commands from the surgeon, delivering precise and responsive fluidics infusion at every step of a vitrectomy procedure.

These two technologies combine to support and maintain IOP stability and control. When combined with Adaptive Fluidics, Bi-Blade+ demonstrated a 62% reduction in average infusion pressure compared to surgeries in which Adaptive Fluidics was not used.3 Continuous aspiration also provides consistent intraocular pressure (IOP) stability.3** In one study, use of Bi-Blade+ with Adaptive Fluidics resulted in a significant improvement in chamber IOP at a range closer to physiologic IOP (10 – 20 mmHg) even during high vacuum levels.3***

“Bi-Blade has been an essential tool for me in a variety of surgeries, including core vitrectomies, vitreous shaving near mobile retina, removal of intraocular tissues and dissections,” said Professor Marco Mura, MD, University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy. “The increased cut speed that Bi-Blade+ offers paired with the additional control of Adaptive Fluidics promises to further promote stability and efficiency during surgery.”

*Based on bench and animal testing.

** Based on bench testing.

***Based on bench testing comparing original Bi-Blade to single-port cutter.
