Following this transaction, we believe we are even better positioned to drive future growth and shareholder value at CVG.”

FDA Fast Track designation supports accelerated development and expedites regulatory review
Norovirus is responsible for an estimated 685 million global cases each year and approximately $60 billion in worldwide economic impact
BOTHELL, Wash., April 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. (Nasdaq: COCP) (“Cocrystal” or the “Company”) announces that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to its oral, direct-acting protease inhibitor, CDI-988, the first oral antiviral candidate being developed for treatment and prophylaxis of norovirus infection.
FDA Fast Track designation aims to facilitate the development and accelerate the review process for drugs that treat serious conditions and address unmet medical needs. The designation enables early and frequent communication with the FDA throughout the development process, allows for rolling review of a New Drug Application (NDA), and may qualify a product for Priority Review at the time of NDA submission.
CDI-988 was designed and developed as an inhibitor of a highly conserved region of noroviruses, coronaviruses, and other 3CL viral proteases. A Phase 1b norovirus challenge study is underway at Emory University School of Medicine to evaluate CDI-988 to both prevent and treat norovirus infection.
“We are pleased that the FDA has granted Fast Track designation for CDI-988, marking a significant milestone for Cocrystal and a critical step toward helping patients with norovirus,” said Sam Lee, Ph.D., President and co‑CEO of Cocrystal Pharma. “Norovirus infections are highly contagious and can cause acute gastroenteritis, resulting in nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhea, fatigue, fever and dehydration. While most people recover within a few days, immunocompromised individuals can experience chronic, long-term norovirus infections that can persist for weeks to years. Based on compelling data generated to date, we believe that CDI-988 has the potential to both prevent and treat norovirus infection.
“This designation further validates using our unique structure-based drug discovery technology to design pan-viral antivirals that are effective new treatment options,” added Dr. Lee. “We look forward to more frequent interactions with the FDA with the goal of delivering the first therapeutic and preventive medicine to treat norovirus infections.”
Cocrystal’s ongoing Phase 1b randomized, double‑blind, placebo‑controlled challenge study (NCT07198139) at Emory University School of Medicine will evaluate CDI‑988 in up to 40 healthy adults. The primary endpoint is a reduction in the incidence of clinical symptoms, with secondary endpoints assessing viral shedding, disease severity, safety, and pharmacokinetics.
About Cocrystal Pharma’s Structure-Based Drug Discovery Platform
Cocrystal is leveraging its structure‑based drug discovery platform technology to design next‑generation antiviral candidates that precisely target viral replication mechanisms. By binding to highly conserved regions of viral enzymes, the Company’s compounds aim to maintain potency against mutating strains while minimizing off‑target effects, offering potentially safer, broad‑spectrum antiviral solutions. This approach streamlines candidate identification and optimization, enabling more rapid progression of promising therapies with robust resistance and safety profiles.
About Cocrystal Pharma, Inc.
Cocrystal Pharma, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology company discovering and developing novel antiviral therapeutics that target the replication process of noroviruses, influenza viruses, coronaviruses (including SARS-CoV-2), and rhinoviruses. Cocrystal employs unique structure-based technologies and Nobel Prize-winning expertise to create viable antiviral drugs.

In the third quarter of 2025, the Company announced the issuance of $25 million of a new series of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, at a premium conversion price of $2.50 per share of Class A Common Stock. The investment was made through the conversion of a portion of existing debt into the new class of perpetual convertible preferred stock.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company issued an additional $10 million of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. At the end of October 2025, the Company expanded its Equity Reserve Facility by 50 million shares, approved by stockholders, to a total facility amount of $100 million.

Subsequent to the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company implemented a 55-to-1 reverse stock split of all classes of its common stock. The reverse stock split was approved by Direct Digital Holdings’ Board of Directors and subsequently by its stockholders on December 30, 2025, allowing the Company to regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price and maintain its Nasdaq listing. This listing is a key asset and provides heightened visibility among institutional investors, which is foundational to the Company’s go forward strategy to build and maintain a strengthened investor base.
Diana Diaz, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We took several steps in the fourth quarter of 2025 and throughout the year to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance our access to capital, successfully returning Direct Digital Holdings to Nasdaq compliance. Revenue growth on the buy-side of our business in 2025 was encouraging, and with the support of our strategic pivot to a more efficient model, we believe that we are well positioned to deliver improved results in 2026.”

We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, the following: the ability to realize the benefits of our strategic shift to focusing on driving digital marketing spend among buy-side and new enterprise customers; the restrictions and covenants imposed upon us by our credit facilities; the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing; our ability to secure additional financing to meet our capital needs; our ability to maintain compliance with the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market; any significant fluctuations caused by our high customer concentration; risks related to non-payment by our clients; reputational and other harms caused by our failure to detect advertising fraud; operational and performance issues with our platform, whether real or perceived, including a failure to respond to technological changes or to upgrade our technology systems; restrictions on the use of third-party “cookies,” mobile device IDs or other tracking technologies, which could diminish our platform’s effectiveness; unfavorable publicity and negative public perception about our industry, particularly concerns regarding data privacy and security relating to our industry’s technology and practices, and any perceived failure to comply with laws and industry self-regulation; our failure to manage our growth effectively; the difficulty in identifying and integrating any future acquisitions or strategic investments; any changes or developments in legislative, judicial, regulatory or cultural environments related to information collection, use and processing; challenges related to our buy-side clients that are destination marketing organizations and that operate as public/private partnerships; any strain on our resources or diversion of our management’s attention as a result of being a public company; the intense competition of the digital advertising industry and our ability to effectively compete against current and future competitors; any significant inadvertent disclosure or breach of confidential and/or personal information we hold, or of the security of our or our customers’, suppliers’ or other partners’ computer systems; as a holding company, we depend on distributions from Direct Digital Holdings, LLC (“DDH LLC”) to pay our taxes, expenses (including payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement) and any amount of any dividends we may pay to the holders of our common stock; any failure by us to maintain or implement effective internal controls or to detect fraud; and other factors and assumptions discussed in our Form 10-K and subsequent periodic and current reports we may file with the SEC.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of these assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement contained in this press release to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which it is made or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances, and we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. New factors that could cause our business not to develop as we expect emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each currently known or new factor on our results of operations or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Early Settlement of Debt Tender Offer Scheduled for April 1
SEATTLE and HOUSTON, April 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Saltchuk Resources, Inc. (the “Offeror”) and Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (NASDAQ:GLDD) (the “Company”) today announced the results to date of the Offeror’s previously-announced cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of the Company’s outstanding 5.25% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”), and the related solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) of consents (each a “Consent” and, collectively, the “Consents”) from holders of the Notes (each, a “Holder” and, collectively, the “Holders”) to amend certain provisions (the “Proposed Amendments”) of the Company’s indenture, dated as of May 25, 2021 (as supplemented from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Indenture”), between Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as successor to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), the Company and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, under which the Notes were issued, both of which are subject to the limitations, restrictions, terms and conditions set forth in the Offeror’s Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated March 18, 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement”).
Contemporaneously with issuing this press release, the Offeror and the Company jointly issued a separate press release announcing that the Offeror had consummated its acquisition of the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 10, 2026 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Offeror and Huron MergeCo, Inc. (the “Acquisition Sub”), thereby satisfying the Acquisition Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement) to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation.
Early Results of Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation
According to information received from Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Offeror’s tender and information agent for the Tender Offer, the table below sets forth the aggregate principal amount of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and Consents that were validly delivered and not validly revoked, at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 31, 2026 (such date and time, the “Early Tender Deadline”).
On April 1, 2026, the Offeror confirmed its acceptance for purchase of all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Deadline (the “Early Settlement”), subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the remaining conditions to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement.
The requisite consents to effect the Proposed Amendments, as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, were received and accepted with respect to the Notes. Accordingly, the Company expects to implement the Proposed Amendments promptly following the Early Settlement by entering into the Supplemental Indenture (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement). The Supplemental Indenture will become effective upon execution, but will provide that the Proposed Amendments will not become operative unless the Offeror purchases all of the validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) Notes in the Tender Offer.
General Information Regarding the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation
The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 15, 2026, unless extended by the Offeror (such date and time, as it may be extended, the “Expiration Time”) or earlier terminated. No tenders of Notes or deliveries of related Consents submitted after the Expiration Time will be valid. The Early Tender Deadline was the deadline for holders to validly withdraw tenders of Notes and validly revoke Consents. Accordingly, Notes tendered and Consents delivered and not validly withdrawn or revoked may no longer be withdrawn or revoked, subject to applicable law.
The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made only pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, copies of which have been furnished by the Offeror to the Holders and additional copies of which can be obtained in the manner described below. Holders are encouraged to read the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and the information incorporated therein by reference, as they contain important information regarding the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation. The Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation are not being made to Holders in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction. In any jurisdiction in which the securities laws or blue sky laws require the Tender Offer or the Consent Solicitation to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation will be deemed to be made on behalf of the Offeror by BofA Securities, as the Dealer Manager with respect to the Tender Offer and Solicitation Agent with respect to the Consent Solicitation, or one or more registered brokers or dealers that are licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction.
To the extent any Notes remain outstanding following the consummation of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Offeror intends, but is not obligated, to redeem such remaining Notes at par on or after June 1, 2026 and satisfy and discharge the Company’s obligations under the Indenture pursuant to the terms thereof.
BofA Securities has been retained as the Dealer Manager in connection with the Tender Offer and as the Solicitation Agent in connection with the Consent Solicitation. In such capacities, they may contact Holders regarding the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation and may request brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and other nominees or intermediaries to forward the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement and related materials to beneficial owners of Notes. Questions and requests for assistance regarding the terms of the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation should be directed to the Dealer Manager at (888) 292-0070 (toll-free) or (980) 388-3646 (collect). Questions regarding the procedures for tendering Notes and delivering Consents relating to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation or requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement may be directed to Global Bondholder Services Corporation, the Tender and Information Agent for the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, at (212) 430-3774 (for banks and brokers only) or (855) 654-2014 (toll-free) (for all others) or [email protected].
None of the Offeror, the Company, the Trustee, the Dealer Manager, the Tender and Information Agent, or any of their respective affiliates makes any recommendation as to whether Holders should tender or refrain from tendering their Notes in response to the Tender Offer or delivering Consents pursuant to the Consent Solicitation, and no person or entity has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Holders must make their own independent decision as to whether to tender Notes and deliver accompanying Consents and, if so, the principal amount of the Notes as to which action is to be taken.
The Offeror reserves the right, subject to applicable law, with respect to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, as applicable, to (a) waive in whole or in part any or all conditions to the Tender Offer and Consent Solicitation, as applicable; (b) delay the acceptance for purchase of any Notes or delay the purchase of any Notes; or (c) otherwise modify or terminate the Tender Offer or the Consent Solicitation, as applicable.
This press release is for informational purposes only. This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase or the solicitation of an offer to sell any securities. Nothing contained herein shall constitute a notice of redemption of the Notes or an obligation to issue a notice of redemption or satisfy or discharge the Indenture.
