CuriosityStream Declares Special One-Time Cash Dividend of $0.10 per share

SILVER SPRING, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CuriosityStream Inc. (NASDAQ: CURI, or the “Company”), a leading global factual entertainment media company, today announced that its Board of Directors has declared a special, one-time cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on June 27, 2025, to shareholders of record on June 13, 2025.

“Today’s dividend announcement reflects the strength of our financial position and rewards the enduring support of our shareholders,” said Clint Stinchcomb, CEO of CuriosityStream. “Our continued outperformance of key operational benchmarks reinforces our confidence in the strength and long-term resilience of our business model.”

Over the past two years, the Company has achieved sustainable improvements in cash flow and reported both positive net income and EBITDA for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, a significant milestone and important inflection point in the development of the Company’s business.

This special, one-time dividend is incremental to the Company’s regular quarterly dividends, which it began paying in April 2024. The Company’s dividend policy has increased from an initial annual dividend of $0.10 per share to the current annual rate of $0.32 per share.

“The increase in dividend payouts underscores our long-term commitment to returning value to our shareholders — many of whom have supported us since before our IPO in 2020 — and our belief that capital beyond our operational needs should be returned to those who have invested in our success,” Stinchcomb said. “As we continue building a strong, cash-generative enterprise, our dividend payouts serve as a celebration of our progress, a thank you to our shareholders and importantly, a statement of confidence in the future of our business.”

Nuvve Engages Crypto Venture Group to Accelerate Digital Asset Strategy

New portfolio committee will be led by experts in technology, crypto, and fintech

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Nuvve Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: NVVE), a global leader in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and grid modernization, today announced it has engaged multiple leading digital asset advisory consultants, to accelerate the growth of its newly formed subsidiary, Nuvve-DigitalAssets.

The consultants will advise Nuvve on the strategic development of its digital asset portfolio, providing expertise in token selection, decentralized infrastructure opportunities, risk management, and regulatory alignment. Their role will be central to building a sophisticated, high-growth digital treasury as part of Nuvve’s broader plan to create long-term shareholder value through blockchain innovation.

“This is a core strategic initiative requiring focus and expertise,” said Gregory Poilasne, CEO and co-founder of Nuvve. “The selection of these consultants ensures that Nuvve-DigitalAssets is built on insight, discipline, and conviction. This is how we win in the next era of finance.”

The engagement comes on the heels of Nuvve’s recent launch of Nuvve-DigitalAssets, a wholly owned subsidiary created to capitalize on opportunities across the cryptocurrency and blockchain economy. The subsidiary’s investment strategy will focus on the foundational assets of the next-generation financial system. While we acknowledge the importance of Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum, the subsidiary will target multiple picks-and-shovels tokens from high-growth sectors such as decentralized finance (DeFi), decentralized physical infrastructure (DePin), programming, and the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs).

To ensure strong oversight and execution, Nuvve is forming a Digital Asset Management Portfolio Committee to govern investment decisions. The committee will be chaired by James Altucher, a renowned crypto investor and early Bitcoin advocate; with the support of Tim Collins, veteran financial commentator, known for his deep insights into public markets and crypto asset dynamics, as well as Gregory Poilasne, Nuvve CEO.

“The companies that thrive in this new economy will be the ones who understand where finance is going and have the courage to move early,” said Altucher. “Nuvve is doing both with the right team and a clear strategy.”

“I’ve followed disruptive financial trends for decades,” added Collins. “The convergence of blockchain, decentralized markets, and traditional financial systems isn’t years away, it’s happening now. I look forward to guiding this strategy at a company with the courage to lead.”

Nuvve will maintain transparency with shareholders through regular updates on digital asset holdings and allocation strategy via the Nuvve-DigitalAssets platform. The company’s entry into the crypto economy is not just about diversification; it’s about long-term leadership at the intersection of clean energy and digital finance.

Premiering on June 28, 2025, at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT, Pretty Hurts features a storyline that aims to raise awareness among parents about meningococcal disease, known as meningitis, an uncommon but serious illness that teens and young adults aged 16-23 are at an increased risk for.^1,2,3 GSK provided financial and content support for the film, which alerts moms that while many teens have received vaccination against meningitis serogroups A, C, W, and Y, many may be missing meningitis B vaccination.⁴

The film follows Julie, played by actress Haylie Duff, a relatable mom juggling the demands of family life and a career, while navigating the challenges of parenting a teen in high school. After Julie’s daughter, Lauren, enters a beauty pageant to win scholarship money for college, meningitis suddenly strikes close to home, showcasing the impact of the disease on both their family and an entire community.

As the newest spokesperson for the larger Ask2BSure campaign, Alyson Hannigan, seasoned actress and mom to a 16-year-old, knows parenting teens is a job with no script.

Hannigan said: “As a mom, I know how hard it can be to stay on top of everything, especially when it comes to my teen’s health, and it is so important to ask the right questions about meningitis risk and vaccination. I’m proud to have joined the Ask2BSure campaign so that I can empower other parents to speak up and ask their teen’s doctor for more information.”⁴

Pretty Hurts builds off the 2023 GSK and Lifetime co-branded short film, “I Never Thought to Ask: A Mom’s Quest for Answers,” which also brought awareness to meningitis B and vaccination.

Cynthia Burman, US Medical Affairs Lead for Neisseria Vaccines for GSK, said: “Working with Lifetime on this longer-form creative and educational film allows us to deliver impactful content to help empower parents in the US to start the conversation with their teen’s doctor to find out if their teen is missing any meningococcal vaccinations.”^4,5
