SCHMID Group N.V. announces a USD 20 million convertible notes financing

FREUDENSTADT, Germany, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SCHMID Group N.V. (NASDAQ: SHMD) (the “Company”), a global leader in providing solutions to the high-tech industry mostly in electronics, announced today that it entered into an investment agreement on July 7, 2026 with an institutional investor (the “Investor“) pursuant to which the Company will issue and sell senior convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million convertible into ordinary shares of the Company (the “Notes”) in a private placement to the Investor (the “Investment Agreement”).

The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture issued at 99% of principal amount. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum, compounded quarterly and payable in kind, subject to the Company’s right to elect cash payment upon prior notice. The Notes have a two-and-a-half-year maturity, i.e. they will mature on January 14, 2029, unless previously converted into shares of the Company.

The Notes are convertible, at the option of the Investor, into shares of the Company at the lower of USD 10.50 or the 97% of the applicable volume-weighted average price of the shares of the Company, subject to a minimum conversion price of USD 1.93 per share and certain daily conversion limits as further specified in the Investment Agreement.

In connection with the execution of the Investment Agreement, the Company will also enter into a registration rights agreement with the Investor pursuant to which the Company agrees to file a registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

The Company’s obligations under the Notes are guaranteed by its German operating subsidiary, Gebr. Schmid GmbH, subject to applicable German law limitations. The Investment Agreement and the provisions of the Notes contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, change of control protections and events of default customary for transactions of this type.

The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes will be used to fund the working capital need resulting from the ongoing order intake acceleration and growth capital needed for the move from rented to owned manufacturing plant in China with nearly double capacity.

“Since the beginning of this year, we have replenished working capital, converted the majority of the shareholder-related debt to equity cleaning-up the balance sheet to an appropriate level. As order intake is accelerating, we want to be in a position of strength and have the flexibility to take growth opportunities as they come” said Arthur Schuetz, Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

William Blair acted as sole placement agent in connection with the financing.

The securities described above have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state’s securities laws, and are being issued and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration provided for under the Securities Act. Accordingly, these securities may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company has agreed to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of the Notes. Any offering of the securities under the resale registration statement will only be made by means of a prospectus.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund Announces Monthly Distribution for July 2026

PR Newswire

NEW YORK, July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund (ticker: BPRE) today announced it will pay a cash distribution of $0.1371 per share for July 2026. The distribution will be paid to shareholders of record as of July 17, 2026, reflecting a 7.1% distribution rate on NAV as well as an annualized market distribution rate of approximately 12.3% and an annualized tax-equivalent distribution rate of 19.2%1, based on the BPRE closing price of $13.41 on July 7, 2026.

Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund

The distribution will be made on the schedule below:

Record Date

7/17/26

Ex-Dividend Date

7/17/26

Pay Date

7/31/26

Distribution

$0.1371

BPRE has announced four distribution increases since listing, reflecting management’s commitment to raising distributions as it executes on its strategic roadmap to maximize shareholder value by rotating capital out of BPRE’s legacy core+ institutional fund holdings into the specialty direct real estate investments it believes offer stronger income and total return potential. The Fund has made significant progress in its execution against the strategic roadmap, including the identification of $700 million² in investments that have been closed, are under contract, or have been identified in our investment pipeline.

Net assets under management for BPRE are approximately $3.3 billion as of June 30, 2026. The Fund currently maintains positions in 27 private equity and 13 private debt real estate investments, with underlying assets valued at approximately $250 billion (holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered investment advice).

BPRE is pleased to offer its shareholders a Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) program, providing a structured and convenient way for investors to automatically reinvest monthly cash distributions into additional shares, allowing for the potential of enhanced compounding and, in certain scenarios, the ability to acquire shares at favorable pricing, including potential purchases at a discount to Net Asset Value (NAV).

Some or all of the Fund’s distributions may be deemed to be a return of capital. The Fund provides a notice of its best estimate of the sources of a distribution at the time of such distribution. Such notice and other detailed Fund information is available at bprefund.com.

Bluerock Private Real Estate Fund (ticker: BPRE) is the only New York Stock Exchange-listed closed-end fund offering investors dedicated access to private real estate. The Fund is the largest real estate-focused closed-end fund on the market and is designed to deliver strong, consistent tax-advantaged income while also pursuing attractive long-term capital appreciation. Following its December 2025 listing, BPRE has been executing on its strategic roadmap plan to maximize shareholder value by rotating capital into high-growth, specialty real estate sectors and consistently raising distributions, having announced four distribution increases since listing. Learn more about BPRE at bprefund.com.

1 The market distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the distribution for the relevant month and dividing by the Fund’s closing price on the NYSE for 7/7/2026. The tax-equivalent distribution rate is the rate a fully taxable investment needs in order to equal the after-tax rate on a comparable tax-advantaged investment. The example assumes 37% maximum federal income tax rate and includes the 3.8% Medicare surtax that is applied to the net investment income above certain thresholds. It also includes a 5% average state tax rate. Tax equivalent distribution rate is calculated based on a 67% ROC. 67% is the Fund average (2013-2025) return of capital (“ROC”) and non-dividend distribution portion of distributions. ROC, for tax purposes, should be distinguished from an economic return of capital, where an investor is repaid out of its own contributions rather than from the economic profits of the investment. As a tax law concept, an ROC is not tied to an investment’s financial performance. ROC distributions reduce the stockholder’s tax basis in the year the dividend is received. The stockholder’s tax basis may be reduced by ROC distributions in the year the distribution is received and generally defer taxes on that portion until the stockholder’s stock is sold. Upon sale, the investor will calculate their gain by reference to the lower cost basis attributable to the ROC distributions, which gain may be subject to tax at capital gain rates.

2 Represents investments include closed, under contract, LOI, under exclusive negotiations or in pipeline.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements included herein may constitute “forward-looking” statements as that term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements with regard to future events or the future performance or operations of the Fund, including but not limited to, liquidity events. Words such as “intends,” “will,” “believes,” “expects,” and “may” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include changes in the economy, geo-political risks, risks associated with possible disruption to the Fund’s operations or the economy generally due to hostilities, terrorism, natural disasters or pandemics such as COVID-19, future changes in laws or regulations and conditions in the Fund’s operating area, unexpected costs, the ability of the Fund to complete the listing of the common shares on a national securities exchange, the price at which the common shares may trade on a national securities exchange, and failure to list the common shares on a national securities exchange, and such other factors that are disclosed in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation that any plans, estimates or expectations will be achieved. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this communication. Except as required by federal securities laws, the Fund undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

On May 28, 2026, Photronics announced its financial results for the second quarter of fiscal 2026, allegedly revealing revenue and earnings well below internal projections and highlighting a critical collapse of integrated circuit revenue by 11% sequentially. On this news, the price of Photronics stock dropped more than 36%, according to the complaint.

Faraday Future Advances Middle East EAI Robotics Strategy Through Strategic Cooperation with Local UAE and GCC Ecosystem Partners

Faraday Future Advances Middle East EAI Robotics Strategy Through Strategic Cooperation with Local UAE and GCC Ecosystem Partners

  • FF Mobility Trading continues to strengthen its Middle East EAI robotics strategy through strategic cooperation frameworks and regional ecosystem collaboration across the UAE, GCC, and potentially the broader MENA region.
  • These cooperation frameworks represent an important step in building FF’s regional robotics commercialization architecture, connecting FF’s global EAI robotics portfolio with local market access, deployment channels, institutional resources, and long-term ecosystem partners.
  • The cooperation may cover robotics procurement and distribution, education resources, curriculum distribution, robot rental, joint project delivery, product showcases, technology demonstrations, localized deployment, technical support, and after-sales service.
  • Through cooperation with regional ecosystem partners including CGCC, Action To Action, and Ibtikar Robotics, FF aims to strengthen local business access, institutional engagement, technology integration, education channels, rental and distribution capabilities, localized deployment, and technical service support.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (NASDAQ: FFAI) (“Faraday Future,” “FF,” or the “Company”), a California-based global Embodied AI (EAI) ecosystem company, today announced continued progress in its Middle East EAI robotics commercialization strategy through strategic cooperation frameworks and regional ecosystem collaboration across the UAE, GCC, and potentially the broader MENA region.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260707311651/en/

Faraday Future Advances Middle East EAI Robotics Strategy Through Strategic Cooperation with Local UAE and GCC Ecosystem Partners

Faraday Future Advances Middle East EAI Robotics Strategy Through Strategic Cooperation with Local UAE and GCC Ecosystem Partners

Faraday Future Mobility Trading L.L.C., FF’s UAE-based regional business hub for intelligent mobility and robotics products across the Middle East and GCC markets, is working to build a stronger local foundation for FF’s EAI robotics business. The Company’s regional cooperation includes strategic cooperation memoranda with Chinese Entrepreneurs General Association Co. LLC (“CGCC”) and Action To Action Trading LLC (“Action To Action”), as well as regional ecosystem cooperation opportunities with Ibtikar Robotics.

The strategic significance of these cooperation frameworks goes beyond individual channel expansion. They are expected to help FF establish a more structured regional commercialization pathway covering market access, partner development, customer engagement, project opportunities, technical support, after-sales service, and ecosystem collaboration. This structure may support FF in moving from product introduction toward broader real-world deployment and long-term commercial scaling in the Middle East.

As a U.S.-based Physical AI and EAI robotics company, FF views the Middle East as an important strategic region for global robotics commercialization. The region’s strong focus on AI, smart cities, education innovation, automation, public sector modernization, and digital transformation provides meaningful opportunities for FF to explore how EAI robotics can be applied across both institutional and commercial scenarios.

The cooperation with CGCC may help FF access regional business resources, institutional networks, industry relationships, and broader ecosystem opportunities in the UAE and GCC. The cooperation is intended to support FF in expanding local market connectivity and identifying potential business opportunities across enterprise, public sector, and industry environments.

The cooperation with Action To Action may support robotics commercialization through technology ecosystem collaboration, procurement and distribution opportunities, system integration resources, government and enterprise project exploration, smart city and public sector opportunities, localized deployment, technical support, and industry-specific robotics solutions.

Ibtikar Robotics is a UAE-based robotics and AI solutions company specializing in intelligent automation, educational robotics, and service robotics across the Middle East. Cooperation opportunities with Ibtikar Robotics may focus on education resources, robotics curriculum distribution, hardware procurement and distribution, robot rental, technical support, and joint project delivery, with a stronger emphasis on education, STEM learning, and rental-based deployment scenarios.

Together, these regional cooperation opportunities are expected to help FF further build its Middle East robotics ecosystem. Potential areas of collaboration may include product showcases, technology demonstrations, roadshows, education programs, channel development, enterprise customer introductions, public sector engagement, and industry-specific robotics solutions across education, enterprise services, hospitality, retail, healthcare, smart cities, public infrastructure, and broader industry services.

This regional cooperation supports FF’s long-term EAI robotics ecosystem strategy. FF is building a Three-in-One ecosystem powered by Devices, Data, and the EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Platform. Through multi-form EAI robot devices, education and enterprise applications, and strategic ecosystem partners, FF aims to accelerate robotics adoption across both consumer and institutional scenarios while building a scalable foundation for real-world EAI robotics deployment in the Middle East.

ABOUT FARADAY FUTURE

Founded in 2014, Faraday Future (FF) is a U.S.-based Physical AI ecosystem company dedicated to reshaping the future of robotics and mobility solutions through AI innovation and technologies. FF focuses on two major product strategies within the Embodied AI (EAI) robotics business: EAI humanoid and bionic robots, and EAI automotive-focused robots. By building a Three-in-One ecosystem of “Device, Data, EAI Brain & Open-Source and Open Platform,” FF aims to create an evolutionary flywheel: scaled device delivery, data collection and training, continuous evolution of the EAI Brain, stronger product capability, and even larger-scale delivery and deployment.

Wolfspeed Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Navitas Semiconductor

Company takes decisive action to protect its foundational GaN and SiC intellectual property portfolio

DURHAM, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Wolfspeed (NYSE: WOLF), a U.S.-based pioneer in wide bandgap compound semiconductor technology, today announced that it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware against Navitas Semiconductor (“Navitas”).

The lawsuit asserts that a broad range of Navitas products infringes multiple Wolfspeed patents, including U.S. Patent Nos. 8,169,005, 10,998,418, 10,886,396, 10,749,443, and 11,888,392. Products accused of infringement encompass major product lines of Navitas, including its GaN-based FETs — such as the GaNFast®, GaNSlim™, and GaNSafe® product families — as well as Navitas’s GeneSiC™ MOSFETs and SiCPAK® modules.

Wolfspeed has established a decades-long heritage of technological leadership in silicon carbide (SiC) materials, gallium nitride (GaN)-based transistors, and SiC-based MOSFETs and modules. That legacy of innovation has culminated in a broad and fundamental patent portfolio that underpins the modern wide bandgap semiconductor industry.

“Wolfspeed’s foundational technology helped create this industry, and we are deeply committed to defending the intellectual property that represents decades of innovation and R&D investment. We respect the IP rights of others, and we expect the same respect in return,” said Robert Feurle, Wolfspeed’s chief executive officer. “Protecting our patent portfolio is a strategic priority for the company and our shareholders. This action reflects our commitment to enforcing our rights and protecting continued investment in next-generation SiC and GaN technologies.”
