Incremental Term Loan. CoreCivic obtained an incremental term loan in the amount of $100 million from existing lenders under its credit facility. The Company expects to use the $100 million to pay down a portion of the amounts outstanding under its revolver and for working capital and general corporate purposes. With the DHS funding issues, we suspect the federal government has been slow in payment, likely resulting in elevated A/R for CoreCivic.
Updated Debt Details. Following the transaction, CoreCivic’s Amended Credit Facility is in the aggregate principal amount of $800 million, consisting of a $125 million initial term loan, the incremental term loan, and a $575 million revolving credit facility, which has a $25 million sublimit for swingline loans and a $100 million sublimit for the issuance of standby letters of credit.

The industrial sector just had its biggest IPO moment since 1999, and artificial intelligence deserves much of the credit.
Madison Air Solutions Corp. (NYSE: MAIR) debuted on the New York Stock Exchange Thursday, raising $2.23 billion after pricing 82.7 million shares at $27 each — the top of its marketed range. By early afternoon, shares were trading around $31.26, a 16% pop that gave the Chicago-based ventilation and filtration systems provider a market capitalization of approximately $13.2 billion.
The last time a US industrial company pulled off an IPO of this magnitude was when UPS raised $5.5 billion in 1999 — a listing that rode the wave of early e-commerce enthusiasm. Madison Air is riding a different wave: the data center buildout fueling the AI boom.
While the company operates across more than 30 brand names — including Nortek Data Center Cooling, Airxchange and Zephyr — and generates revenue from sectors spanning semiconductor manufacturing and life sciences, it is the data center angle that captured investor attention. Data centers account for roughly 20% of Madison Air’s commercial business, and that segment drove about two-thirds of total revenue in 2025. The company’s liquid, hybrid and air cooling products are increasingly critical infrastructure as hyperscalers race to build out AI compute capacity.
The pitch landed. Madison Air is entering the public markets at a moment when HVAC and thermal management companies tied to the data center buildout have become some of the most sought-after names in industrials. Comfort Systems USA surged more than 360% in the 12 months through Wednesday, while Modine Manufacturing roughly tripled over the same period. Madison Air’s IPO is the latest — and largest — in a string of high-profile industrial debuts, following Legence Corp., which surged 148% from its September IPO through Wednesday, and Forgent Power Solutions, which is up 20% since its February debut.
The company posted revenue of $3.34 billion and net income of $124 million for 2025, compared with $2.62 billion in revenue and $236 million in net income the year prior. The margin compression is worth noting — net income fell despite revenue growth — as tariffs added $51.3 million to the company’s cost of goods sold last year. CEO Jill Wyant said Madison Air is offsetting those pressures through pricing adjustments and is still evaluating the impact of more recent tariff changes on metals.
Founder Larry Gies retains control of the company through super-voting shares following the IPO. Madison Industries, which Gies controls, also participated in a concurrent $100 million private placement at the IPO price. The deal was led by Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Jefferies and Wells Fargo, with anchor interest from Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Durable Capital Partners and HRTG GPE — institutions that collectively expressed interest in up to $525 million of shares ahead of the offering.
Madison Air is not a small-cap story — at $13.2 billion, it clears the threshold by a wide margin. But its market debut matters to small and microcap investors for a clear reason: it validates the investability of the broader AI infrastructure supply chain at scale. The companies supplying cooling systems, filtration and thermal management to data centers — many of them smaller, less-covered names — are operating in what Madison Air estimates is a $40 billion market for specialized air systems. When an IPO of this size trades up 16% on day one, it sends a signal about where institutional capital is flowing. The picks-and-shovels trade around AI infrastructure is far from over.
Struggling footwear brand Allbirds shocked investors Wednesday with a dramatic pivot away from its core business, announcing plans to transition into artificial intelligence infrastructure—a move that sent its stock soaring more than 700% in a single session.
Shares of Allbirds, which had been trading below $3, surged to over $17 following the announcement, as investors rushed into what is now being rebranded as NewBird AI. Just a day earlier, the company’s market capitalization stood at roughly $21 million, a far cry from its peak valuation of over $4 billion.
From Sustainable Sneakers to AI Compute
The pivot comes after Allbirds effectively exited the footwear business. The company recently sold its intellectual property and key assets for $39 million to American Exchange Group, which will continue to operate the Allbirds brand independently.
Now, management is betting on a completely different future: AI compute infrastructure.
According to the company, NewBird AI plans to acquire high-performance, low-latency computing hardware and lease capacity to customers underserved by existing providers. The firm also announced it is seeking to raise up to $50 million in funding to support the transition.
The move places Allbirds among a growing list of companies attempting to capitalize on surging demand for AI infrastructure—a market fueled by rapid adoption of generative AI and dominated by players like Nvidia.
A Familiar Playbook for Troubled Companies
While the market reaction has been dramatic, the strategy itself is not entirely new. Historically, struggling companies have attempted to revive investor interest by pivoting toward high-growth sectors.
During the cryptocurrency boom, numerous firms rebranded or shifted their business models to blockchain-related ventures, often triggering short-term spikes in share prices. Many of those moves, however, failed to deliver long-term value.
Allbirds’ pivot raises similar questions: Is this a credible transformation, or a speculative attempt to ride the AI wave?
Execution Risk Remains High
Entering the AI infrastructure space presents significant challenges. The business is capital-intensive, highly competitive, and technologically complex. Established players—including hyperscalers and semiconductor leaders—already dominate the market.
For a company that recently shuttered its retail footprint and saw revenues decline sharply—from $298 million in 2022 to $152 million in 2025—the transition represents a steep uphill climb.
Moreover, success in AI infrastructure depends not only on hardware acquisition but also on customer relationships, scale, and operational expertise, areas where Allbirds has limited experience.
Market Reaction vs. Fundamental Reality
The surge in Allbirds’ stock highlights the continued enthusiasm surrounding AI-related investments. Even small-cap companies with limited exposure to the sector are seeing outsized moves when they announce AI strategies.
However, investors should be cautious. The gap between announcement-driven momentum and long-term execution can be substantial.
Allbirds’ transformation into NewBird AI marks one of the more unusual pivots in recent market history. While the stock’s explosive move reflects strong demand for AI exposure, the company’s ability to successfully transition from footwear to high-performance computing remains highly uncertain.
For investors, the story underscores a broader theme: in today’s market, AI narratives can drive rapid gains—but fundamentals ultimately determine staying power.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Vince Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: VNCE) (“VNCE” or the “Company”), a global retail platform, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.
Brendan Hoffman, Chief Executive Officer of VNCE said, “I am incredibly proud of the strong operating results we delivered in the fourth quarter reflecting the powerful momentum we built throughout fiscal 2025. Our team executed across all areas of the business, delivering nearly 5% sales growth with profitability exceeding the high end of our guidance ranges.

In this press release, the Company is presenting its financial results in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as well as on an “adjusted” basis. Adjusted results presented in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for more information about the Company’s use of non-GAAP financial measures and Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this press release for reconciliations of GAAP measures to such non-GAAP measures.
For the fourth quarter ended January 31, 2026:
Total Company net sales increased 4.7% to $83.7 million compared to $80.0 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven by a 10.4% increase in the direct-to-consumer segment which offset a 1.2% decline in the wholesale segment.
Gross profit was $41.1 million, or 49.1% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $40.1 million, or 50.1% of net sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The decrease in gross margin rate was primarily driven by approximately 300 basis points due to the unfavorable impact of tariffs, 160 basis points due to higher promotional activity, and approximately 125 basis points due to increased freight costs, partially offset by a favorable impact of approximately 380 basis points primarily due to higher pricing.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $44.0 million, or 52.6% of sales, compared to $37.8 million, or 47.2% of sales, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily driven by a $6.0 million bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization.
Loss from operations was ($2.9) million compared to a loss from operations of ($29.7) million in the same period last year. The year over year decrease in loss from operations is primarily driven by $32.0 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge (the “Goodwill Impairment Charge”) recorded in the prior comparative quarter, offset by the bad debt expense of $6.0 million related to the Saks reorganization. For fiscal 2025, excluding the impact of the bad debt expense, adjusted income from operations* was $3.1 million. For the prior year, excluding the Goodwill Impairment Charge and the transaction expenses (“P180 Transaction Expenses”) related to the acquisition of the Company’s majority stake by a wholly owned subsidiary of P180, Inc., adjusted income from operations* was $2.5 million.
Income tax provision was $0.5 million compared to an income tax benefit of $2.0 million in the same period last year. The year over year change is primarily driven by a tax benefit taken in the prior comparative quarter due to the reversal of the non-cash deferred tax liability associated with the goodwill impairment, which previously could not be used as a source of income to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets related to the Company’s net operating losses.
Net loss was ($3.6) million or $(0.28) per share compared to a net loss of ($28.3) million or $(2.24) per share in the same period last year. Excluding the impact of bad debt expense in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, adjusted net income* for the period was $2.4 million or $0.18 per share. This compares to adjusted net income* in the prior year period of $0.8 million or $0.06 per share which excludes the Goodwill Impairment Charge and the transaction expenses previously defined.
Adjusted EBITDA* was $4.5 million compared to $5.4 million in the same period last year.
The Company ended the quarter with 55 company-operated Vince stores, a net decrease of 2 stores since the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026:
Total Company net sales increased 2.2% to $300.0 million compared to $293.5 million in fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase was driven by a 4.8% increase in the direct-to-consumer segment and a 0.2% increase in the wholesale segment.
Gross profit was $149.1 million, or 49.7% of net sales, compared to gross profit of $145.2 million, or 49.5% of net sales, in fiscal 2024. The increase in gross margin rate was driven by approximately 340 basis points related to higher pricing and 70 basis points due primarily to lower discounting. These increases were partially offset by approximately 250 basis points resulting from higher tariffs and 130 basis points due to the unfavorable impact of increased freight and distribution and handling costs.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $139.9 million, or 46.6% of sales, compared to $138.0 million, or 47.0% of sales, in fiscal 2024. The increase in SG&A dollars was primarily driven by $6.5 million of bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization, increased marketing and advertising costs of approximately $1.9 million, and increased legal fees of approximately $1.4 million. These increased SG&A costs were partially offset by a decrease primarily driven by the receipt of payroll tax credit payments from the U.S. Department of the Treasury under the Employee Retention Credit program (the “ERC benefit”). The ERC benefit was approximately $7.2 million, of which $5.6 million related to the original payroll tax credit claims and was recorded in SG&A as an offset to compensation expenses, with the remaining $1.6 million of interest payments recorded as Other income. In addition, there was a decrease in professional fees.
Income from operations was $9.2 million compared to loss from operations of $17.2 million in the same period last year. Adjusted income from operations* in fiscal 2025 was $10.1 million compared to adjusted income from operations* of $7.3 million in the same period last year.
Income tax provision was $2.6 million. Our effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 was 35.1% and 15.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate for fiscal 2025 differed from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily due to state taxes and changes in our valuation allowance, partially offset by nontaxable ERC benefits. The tax provision in fiscal 2025 compares to an income tax benefit of $3.6 million in the same period last year.
Net income was $6.4 million or $0.49 per share compared to net loss of $19.0 million or $(1.51) per share in the same period last year. Adjusted net income* for fiscal 2025 was $5.8 million or $0.44 per share compared to adjusted net income* of $2.4 million or $0.19 per share in the same period last year.
Adjusted EBITDA* was $15.1 million compared to $14.0 million last year.
Fourth Quarter Review
Net sales increased 4.7% to $83.7 million as compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Wholesale segment sales decreased 1.2% to $38.7 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Direct-to-consumer segment sales increased 10.4% to $45.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
Income from operations excluding unallocated corporate expenses was $10.8 million compared to income from operations of $16.7 million in the same period last year. The decline compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by a $6.0 million bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization.
Net Sales and Operating Results by Segment:
Balance Sheet
At the end of fiscal 2025, total borrowings under the Company’s debt agreements totaled $19.5 million and the Company had $40.8 million of excess availability under its revolving credit facility.
Net inventory at the end of fiscal 2025 was $66.2 million compared to $59.1 million at the end of fiscal 2024. The year-over-year increase in inventory includes approximately $4.8 million of higher inventory carrying value due to tariffs.
During the year ended January 31, 2026, the Company issued and sold 578,041 shares of common stock under the Virtu At-the-Market offering for aggregate net proceeds of $2,023 at an average price of $3.57 per share. At January 31, 2026, $861 was available under Virtu At-the-Market Offering.
Outlook
For the first quarter of fiscal 2026 the Company expects the following:
Net sales to increase approximately 8.5% to 10.5% compared to the prior year period.
Adjusted operating loss as a percentage of net sales to be approximately (3.5)% to (4.5)%.
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales to be approximately (1.5)% to (2.5)%.
For fiscal 2026 the Company expects the following:
Net sales to increase approximately 3% to 6% compared to the prior year.
Adjusted operating income as a percentage of net sales to be approximately 3.5% to 4%.
Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales to be approximately 5% to 5.5%.
Following the Supreme Court’s decision striking down certain tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, (“IEEPA”), the Company’s outlook assumes a 15 percent rate for applicable inventory receipts under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The Company’s outlook does not consider potential tariff refunds resulting from the Supreme Court’s decision on the IEEPA tariffs.
*Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, the Company has provided, with respect to the financial results relating to the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, capitalized cloud computing amortization, goodwill impairment, P180 transaction expenses, bad debt expense related to the Saks reorganization (“Bad debt expense”), ERC benefit, and gain on sale of Rebecca Taylor, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary (“Gain on Sale of Subsidiary”). For the three and twelve months ended January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the Company has provided adjusted income from operations, adjusted income before income taxes and equity in net income of equity method investment, adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes, adjusted income before equity in net income of equity method investment, adjusted net income, and adjusted earnings per share, which are non-GAAP measures, in order to eliminate the effect of the Bad Debt Expense, ERC benefit, Discrete Tax Effect associated with ERC benefit, Gain on sale of Subsidiary, Impairment of Goodwill, the P180 Transaction Expenses, and the associated income tax impacts.
The Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures facilitates an understanding of the Company’s continuing operations without the impact associated with the aforementioned items. While these types of events can and do recur periodically, they are excluded from the indicated financial information due to their impact on the comparability of earnings across periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in Exhibit 3 and Exhibit 4 to this press release.
Conference Call
A conference call to discuss the fourth quarter results will be held today, April 15, 2026, at 8:30 a.m. ET, hosted by Vince Holding Corp.

VIRGINIA CITY, NEVADA, APRIL 15, 2026 – Comstock Inc. (NYSE American: LODE) (“Comstock” and the “Company”) today announced that its chief executive officer issued the following letter to shareholders:
Dear Shareholders:
On behalf of our Board of Directors, Executive Officers, and the entire team, we thank all of you, our new and long-standing shareholders, for supporting a remarkable transformation that has positioned us for global growth and impact.
In 2021, we set out on an ambitious transformation – evolving from a traditional mining company into a global, standard-setting, certified, zero-landfill renewable metals solution. Your support, especially throughout 2025 and early 2026, has been integral, as we continue accelerating the commercial deployment of our differentiated metal recycling solution.
Comstock Metals has deployed and is now scaling a sustainable, proprietary, and highly efficient metal recycling solution that produces clean aluminum, silver, copper, and glass – critical to renewable energy supply chains – and we are now developing a domestic refining solution designed to maximize the recovery of these and other critical metals from abundant, rapidly expiring, photovoltaic waste resources – we can now envision a silver mine that never stops producing.
Comstock Metals has proven its process with all types of solar panels through multi-year, demonstration-scale production and has secured all prerequisite permits to now expand and scale its industrial operations. We have received substantially all of our industry-scale equipment, expanded our storage capacity, and secured world-class customers. We have designed a first-of-its-kind, industrial tailings refining solution that enables a fully closed-loop process for our mineral-rich tailings. Our team’s persistence has been unwavering, and we are now commercializing with full focus and speed.
Building on that momentum, our goal is nothing short of establishing the global standard in solar recycling and refining. Our core objectives for 2026-2030 include capturing leading market shares with larger, more strategic customer transactions, deploying at least five solar panel recycling facilities; beginning with the first two in Nevada, designing, testing and deploying a one-ton-per-day demonstration refinery in Nevada, and integrating storage facilities across the country, including our initial storage and transfer locations in California, Nevada, and Ohio. International expansion will follow as our domestic recycling and refining capacity comes online and our market share continues to grow and grow.
Monetizing our legacy
Our legacy starts with our namesake, the Comstock Lode. We are in advance discussions with a select group of credible, well capitalized mining companies for the sale of our mining assets. We believe that the expected financial returns from recycling solar panels (also known as “urban mining”) far exceed the returns from hard-rock mining in both speed, duration, and of course, absolute magnitude. Capital redeployed from our mining assets to our solar recycling platform is expected to result in highly positive and sustainable value accretion for our stakeholders. We expect approximately $50 million in value from this transaction with meaningful cash up front this year and more cash over the next few years.
Our legacy also includes prior investments in real estate, including the formation of Sierra Springs Opportunity Fund Inc. (“SSOF”) and the consolidation of thousands of acres of industrial, commercial, and residential real estate in Silver Springs, Nevada. This real estate includes the locations we are leasing for our metal recycling facilities. Our recent ability to secure natural gas-based power sources, in an area now leading in industrial manufacturing and data center development, positions us to capitalize on both our investment in SSOF and our adjacent, direct land holdings. While this requires additional capital allocation to perfect and control, the results should enable an extremely valuable, monetizable land portfolio that we have prioritized to sell. We expect to define these transactions and values in 2026.
We appreciate everyone’s support, including our new investors and directors, and look forward to executing in 2026.
Kindest regards,
Corrado De Gasperis Chief Executive Officer, Comstock Inc.

TONMYA (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) for long-term daily dosing at bedtime, is the first new FDA-approved treatment for fibromyalgia in adults in more than 15 years
TONMYA commercially launched in the U.S. in November 2025
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., April 15, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. (Nasdaq: TNXP) (“Tonix” or the “Company”), a fully-integrated, commercial stage biotechnology company, today announced the publication of a paper, “Steady-State Pharmacokinetic Properties of TNX-102 SL, a Sublingual Tablet Formulation of Cyclobenzaprine Hydrochloride (HCl), With Daily Dosing in Healthy Volunteers: A Randomized, Open-Label Trial,” in Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, the peer-reviewed journal of the American College of Clinical Pharmacology (ACCP). TONMYA® (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) was investigated under the designation TNX-102 SL. The manuscript can be accessed at https://accp1.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cpdd.70060.
“TONMYA’s sublingual tablet was developed for long-term daily dosing at bedtime to target the nonrestorative sleep associated with fibromyalgia,” said Seth Lederman, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals. “Therefore, the steady-state pharmacokinetic (PK) profile at Day 20 is more relevant to the product’s indicated dosing regimen than single dose PK. The dynamic changes in cyclobenzaprine concentrations from sublingual tablet dosing over 24 hours at Day 20 are believed to provide pharmacodynamic effects on the brain owing to rapid absorption and distribution. The sublingual tablet was designed with a basifying ingredient and cyclobenzaprine–mannitol eutectic to provide transmucosal absorption to speed uptake, deliver maximum plasma levels of cyclobenzaprine during the middle of the sleep phase, and bypass first-pass liver metabolism. This study supported TONMYA’s approval for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and elucidates how TONMYA’s pharmacokinetic profile is consistent with long-term daily dosing at bedtime.”
Dr. Gregory Sullivan, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Tonix Pharmaceuticals added, “The dynamic changes in cyclobenzaprine concentrations are magnified by the higher predicted percentage of receptors by cyclobenzaprine relative to norcyclobenzaprine occupied (i.e., 5-HT2A, α1-adrenergic, H1, and M1) during sleep hours after bedtime dosing. For example, 5-HT2A antagonism increases slow wave sleep (SWS) activity during non–rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, and α1-adrenergic antagonism increases the time and continuity in REM sleep and reduces noradrenergic sympathetic tone, which has the potential to impair the quality of SWS.”
The publication reports findings from a single-center, randomized, open-label, multiple-dose, parallel-group pharmacokinetic study conducted in 60 healthy adult volunteers. Participants were randomized 1:1 to receive either sublingual cyclobenzaprine HCl 5.6 mg (two 2.8 mg tablets, the FDA approved dose of TONMYA for adults) or oral cyclobenzaprine HCl extended-release (ER) 30 mg capsules (AMRIX®) once daily for 20 consecutive days.
At steady state, exposure to both plasma cyclobenzaprine and norcyclobenzaprine for sublingual tablets (TNX-102 SL) 5.6 mg was substantially lower than that to the comparator listed drug, oral cyclobenzaprine HCl ER 30 mg capsules. Importantly, when exposures were normalized by dose, cyclobenzaprine bioavailability is higher for sublingual tablets at 5.6 mg relative to oral ER 30 mg capsules. Both treatments had comparable metabolic profiles of Phase I and II metabolites in human plasma. These pharmacokinetic results are consistent with the use of sublingual cyclobenzaprine HCl tablets at 5.6 mg to target nonrestorative sleep in fibromyalgia, reduce pain, and potentially improve other symptoms of the condition.
On Day 1, sublingual cyclobenzaprine was detectable within one hour of administration, with median time to peak plasma concentration (tmax) approximately three hours earlier than the oral ER capsule formulation (five vs. eight hours). At steady state on Day 20, the sublingual tmax remained two hours earlier (five vs. seven hours). The sublingual formulation demonstrated markedly higher cyclobenzaprine bioavailability when exposures were normalized by dose.
Daily morning administration of sublingual cyclobenzaprine HCl 5.6 mg over 20 days was generally safe and well tolerated. There were no serious adverse events or treatment discontinuations due to adverse events. All treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. The most commonly reported adverse events with sublingual tablets occurring at rates higher than oral ER capsules were oral hypoesthesia, abnormal product taste, somnolence, back pain, and fatigue. Since TONMYA is intended for bedtime administration, the effects of somnolence are expected to be an attribute for bedtime dosing when sleepiness effects are beneficial. No metabolites unique to the sublingual route of administration were identified.
About Fibromyalgia Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder that is understood to result from amplified sensory and pain signaling within the central nervous system. Fibromyalgia afflicts an estimated 6-12 million adults in the U.S., approximately 90% of whom are women. Symptoms of fibromyalgia include chronic widespread pain, nonrestorative sleep, fatigue, and morning stiffness. Other associated symptoms include cognitive dysfunction and mood disturbances, including anxiety and depression. Individuals suffering from fibromyalgia struggle with their daily activities, have impaired quality of life, and frequently are disabled. Physicians and patients report common dissatisfaction with currently marketed products.
About TONMYA® (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) TONMYA (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablets) is a patented sublingual tablet formulation of cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride which, compared to the immediate-release oral cyclobenzaprine, provides rapid transmucosal absorption and reduced production of a long half-life active metabolite, norcyclobenzaprine, due to bypass of first-pass hepatic metabolism. The reduction in norcyclobenzaprine, a potent inhibitor of the norepinephrine transporter (NET), is thought to be key to the durability of treatment response as NET inhibition is activating and disruptive to slow wave sleep. As a multifunctional agent with potent binding and antagonist activities at the 5-HT2A serotonergic, α1-adrenergic, H1-histaminergic, and M1-muscarinic receptors, TONMYA was approved on August 15, 2025, by the FDA for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults. TONMYA is the first new prescription medicine approved for fibromyalgia in more than 15 years. TONMYA was investigated as TNX-102 SL. TNX-102 SL is also being developed to treat acute stress reaction (ASR)/acute stress disorder (ASD), and major depressive disorder (MDD). The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued United States Patent No. 9636408 in May 2017, Patent No. 9956188 in May 2018, Patent No. 10117936 in November 2018, Patent No. 10,357,465 in July 2019, and Patent No. 10736859 in August 2020. The Protectic™ protective eutectic and Angstro-Technology™ formulation claimed in the patent are important elements of Tonix’s proprietary TONMYA composition. These patents are expected to provide TONMYA with U.S. market exclusivity until 2034/2035.

All of Tonix’s forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by all such risk factors and other cautionary statements. The information set forth herein speaks only as of the date thereof.
INDICATION TONMYA is indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia in adults.
CONTRAINDICATIONS TONMYA is contraindicated: In patients with hypersensitivity to cyclobenzaprine or any inactive ingredient in TONMYA. Hypersensitivity reactions may manifest as an anaphylactic reaction, urticaria, facial and/or tongue swelling, or pruritus. Discontinue TONMYA if a hypersensitivity reaction is suspected. With concomitant use of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors or within 14 days after discontinuation of an MAO inhibitor. Hyperpyretic crisis seizures and deaths have occurred in patients who received cyclobenzaprine (or structurally similar tricyclic antidepressants) concomitantly with MAO inhibitors drugs. During the acute recovery phase of myocardial infarction, and in patients with arrhythmias, heart block or conduction disturbances, or congestive heart failure. In patients with hyperthyroidism.
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Embryofetal toxicity: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause neural tube defects when used two weeks prior to conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk and to use effective contraception during treatment and for two weeks after the final dose. Perform a pregnancy test prior to initiation of treatment with TONMYA to exclude use of TONMYA during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Serotonin syndrome: Concomitant use of TONMYA with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), tricyclic antidepressants, tramadol, bupropion, meperidine, verapamil, or MAO inhibitors increases the risk of serotonin syndrome, a potentially life-threatening condition. Serotonin syndrome symptoms may include mental status changes, autonomic instability, neuromuscular abnormalities, and/or gastrointestinal symptoms. Treatment with TONMYA and any concomitant serotonergic agent should be discontinued immediately if serotonin syndrome symptoms occur and supportive symptomatic treatment should be initiated. If concomitant treatment with TONMYA and other serotonergic drugs is clinically warranted, careful observation is advised, particularly during treatment initiation or dosage increases.
Tricyclic antidepressant-like adverse reactions: Cyclobenzaprine is structurally related to TCAs. TCAs have been reported to produce arrhythmias, sinus tachycardia, prolongation of the conduction time leading to myocardial infarction and stroke. If clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) symptoms develop, consider discontinuation of TONMYA. Caution should be used when TCAs are given to patients with a history of seizure disorder, because TCAs may lower the seizure threshold. Patients with a history of seizures should be monitored during TCA use to identify recurrence of seizures or an increase in the frequency of seizures.
Atropine-like effects: Use with caution in patients with a history of urinary retention, angle-closure glaucoma, increased intraocular pressure, and in patients taking anticholinergic drugs.
CNS depression and risk of operating a motor vehicle or hazardous machinery: TONMYA monotherapy may cause CNS depression. Concomitant use of TONMYA with alcohol, barbiturates, or other CNS depressants may increase the risk of CNS depression. Advise patients not to operate a motor vehicle or dangerous machinery until they are reasonably certain that TONMYA therapy will not adversely affect their ability to engage in such activities. Oral mucosal adverse reactions: In clinical studies with TONMYA, oral mucosal adverse reactions occurred more frequently in patients treated with TONMYA compared to placebo. Advise patients to moisten the mouth with sips of water before administration of TONMYA to reduce the risk of oral sensory changes (hypoesthesia). Consider discontinuation of TONMYA if severe reactions occur.
ADVERSE REACTIONS The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥2% and at a higher incidence in TONMYA-treated patients compared to placebo-treated patients) were oral hypoesthesia, oral discomfort, abnormal product taste, somnolence, oral paresthesia, oral pain, fatigue, dry mouth, and aphthous ulcer.
DRUG INTERACTIONS MAO inhibitors: Life-threatening interactions may occur. Other serotonergic drugs: Serotonin syndrome has been reported. CNS depressants: CNS depressant effects of alcohol, barbiturates, and other CNS depressants may be enhanced. Tramadol: Seizure risk may be enhanced. Guanethidine or other similar acting drugs: The antihypertensive action of these drugs may be blocked.
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS Pregnancy: Based on animal data, TONMYA may cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. The limited amount of available observational data on oral cyclobenzaprine use in pregnancy is of insufficient quality to inform a TONMYA-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Advise pregnant women about the potential risk to the fetus with maternal exposure to TONMYA and to avoid use of TONMYA two weeks prior to conception and through the first trimester of pregnancy. Report pregnancies to the Tonix Medicines, Inc., adverse-event reporting line at 1-888-869-7633 (1-888-TNXPMED). Lactation: A small number of published cases report the transfer of cyclobenzaprine into human milk in low amounts, but these data cannot be confirmed. There are no data on the effects of cyclobenzaprine on a breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s clinical need for TONMYA and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed child from TONMYA or from the underlying maternal condition. Pediatric use: The safety and effectiveness of TONMYA have not been established. Geriatric patients: Of the total number of TONMYA-treated patients in the clinical trials in adult patients with fibromyalgia, none were 65 years of age and older. Clinical trials of TONMYA did not include sufficient numbers of patients 65 years of age and older to determine whether they respond differently from younger adult patients. Hepatic impairment: The recommended dosage of TONMYA in patients with mild hepatic impairment (HI) (Child Pugh A) is 2.8 mg once daily at bedtime, lower than the recommended dosage in patients with normal hepatic function. The use of TONMYA is not recommended in patients with moderate HI (Child Pugh B) or severe HI (Child Pugh C). Cyclobenzaprine exposure (AUC) was increased in patients with mild HI and moderate HI compared to subjects with normal hepatic function, which may increase the risk of TONMYA-associated adverse reactions.
Please see additional safety information in the full Prescribing Information.

TORONTO, April 15, 2026 / PRNewswire / – Power Metallic Mines Inc. (the “Company” or “Power Metallic”) (TSXV: PNPN) (OTCBB: PNPNF) (Frankfurt: IVV1) is pleased to provide a release of assays from its Winter 2026 drill campaign.
Lion MRE In-fill program Drilling continued to define the high-grade Lion Zone in preparation for a 2026 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE). The majority of infill drill holes in this release are for holes that are mostly defining the eastern side of the Lion zone (Figure 1) for future mineral resource estimates to an Indicated Resource classification. The 2026 winter drill campaign continues to support the modelled interpretation of the Lion Zone based on earlier wider spaced drilling and includes PML-26-050 intersected the Lion Zone and confirmed the eastern edge of the high-grade copper shoot with 4.76m @ 10.43% CuEqRec1 (Table 1).
Hole PML-26-052 tested the eastern edge of the western high-grade shoot 4.35m @ 5.94% CuEqRec1) and confirmed the expected mineralization modeled from the wider spaced earlier drilling in this area.
Figure 1 – Lion Drill holes reported in this news release (CNW Group/Power Metallic Mines Inc.)
Note: Reported length is downhole distance; true width based on model projections is estimated as 85% of downhole length
1Copper Equivalent Rec Calculation (CuEqRec1) CuEqRec represents CuEq calculated based on the following metal prices (USD) : 2,360.15 $/oz Au, 27.98 $/oz Ag, 1,215.00 $/oz Pd, 1000.00 $/oz Pt, 4.00 $/lb Cu, 10.00 $/lb Ni and 22.50 $/lb Co., and recovered grades based on recent locked-cycle metallurgical recoveries by SGS Canada Inc (see press release Jan 21, 2006).
Current MRE drilling has concentrated on the Lion zone near surface that may be amenable to early open pit extraction in a possible future mining operation. This drilling continues to intersect strong copper sulphide mineralization (Figures 2 and 3).
Exploratory Drilling – East and West of Lion Drill holes PML-26-056, 058, 059 and 060 were designed to define the eastern edge of the Lion Zone, which is interpreted as possibly being fault controlled. All these holes (Figure 1) encountered low grade mineralization, Cu (up to 0.22%), Au (up to 0.20 g/t Au), Pd (up to 0.60 g/t Pd), and Pt (0.21 g/t Pt) and effectively define the eastern boundary of the Lion Zone.
Holes PML-26-060 and 064 were drilled 400-450 meters west of the Tiger Zone (Figure 1) and failed to intersect any sulphide mineralization or the ultramafic unit that occurs at Lion.
Hole PML-26-066 was designed to test above an interpreted arm of the Tiger Zone. The hole collared in mineralization (0.27% Cu, 0.17 g/t Pd) at the overburden bedrock contact before intersecting 2 wide ultramafic units of the type found at Lion. Between these two units 1.31m @ 32.9 g/t Ag was intersected. It is unknown how this may relate to the Tiger mineralization down dip of this intersection. When ground conditions permit, testing behind the initial Cu, Pb mineralization will be done.
Hole PML-26-062 was drilled 800m to the west of Lion. Although the favourable ultramafic unit was encountered over a wide intersection, no significant mineralization was encountered.
Exploratory Drilling – Elephant Target Hole PML-25-021 was extended (PML-25-021x) to test a large BHEM anomaly detected in PN-24-064. Hole PML-25-021x failed to explain the BHEM anomaly, and work is continuing to refine this target area for further drilling.
PML-25-021x entered the paragneiss formation that define the footwall of Power Metallic’s Nisk Ni-Cu-Pd deposit to the west of Lion. This formation was intersected more than a kilometer below surface and contained recognizable favourable geological units (Figure 4) that had hosted a high-grade gold intersection in PMX-25-016 (1.5m @ 34.6 g/t). Assay results from PML-25-021x returned 6m @ 0.78 g/t Au, including 1.5m @ 2.56 g/t Au. Although low grade, this intersection establishes a large sized area of gold structure. Associated with wide anomalous Au, As and W, summer surface mapping, prospecting and re-interpretation of geophysics will be done to localize this recognizable unit and determine whether this gold target requires more drill follow-up.

“Lion MRE drilling continues to deliver as or better than expected. The shallow hole success, which we expect assays to confirm what we are seeing in the cores, should be very supportive to the starter open pit. This all will support the upcoming MRE and PEA. On the exploration side the drill bit continues to give us clues and points us to more structures to test. We have 37 holes in for assay and we’re drilling our last few holes of the winter campaign. The team remains very bullish on our discovery process”, commented Terry Lynch, CEO & Director.

About Power Metallic Mines Inc.
Power Metallic is a Canadian exploration company focused on advancing the Nisk Project Area (Nisk–Lion–Tiger)—a high–grade Copper–PGE, Nickel, gold and silver system—toward Canada’s next polymetallic mine.
On 1 February 2021, Power Metallic (then Chilean Metals) secured an option to earn up to 80% of the Nisk project from Critical Elements Lithium Corp. (TSX–V: CRE). Following the June 2025 purchase of 313 adjoining claims (~167 km²) from Li–FT Power, the Company now controls ~330 km² and roughly 50 km of prospective basin margins.
Power Metallic is expanding mineralization at the Nisk and Lion discovery zones, evaluating the Tiger target, and exploring the enlarged land package through successive drill programs.
Beyond the Nisk Project Area, Power Metallic indirectly has an interest in significant land packages in British Columbia and Chile, by its 50% share ownership position in Chilean Metals Inc., which were spun out from Power Metallic via a plan of arrangement on February 3, 2025.
It also owns 100% of Power Metallic Arabia which owns 100% interest in the Jabul Baudan exploration license in The Kingdon of Saudi Arabia’s Jabal Said Belt. The property encompasses over 200 square kilometres in an area recognized for its high prospectivity for copper gold and zinc mineralization. The region is known for its massive volcanic sulfide (VMS) deposits, including the world-class Jabal Sayid mine and the promising Umm and Damad deposit.
