VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA / ACCESS Newswire / November 19, 2025 / CoTec Holdings Corp. (TSXV:CTH)(OTCQB:CTHCF) (“CoTec” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has filed its unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The financial statements and MD&A can be accessed under the Company’s SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Julian Treger, CoTec CEO commented: “During the third quarter we delivered significant progress across our portfolio, accelerated our strategic initiatives, advanced our flagship projects toward key milestones and completed a very successful oversubscribed financing initiative. At our U.S.‐based rare earth magnet recycling joint venture, HyProMag USA LLC (“HyProMag USA”), the detailed design and engineering phase remains on schedule and within budget, site selection and lease negotiations are in final stages. ILS has been engaged as our first feedstock supplier and we are working on accelerating the expansion from one recycling and magnet manufacturing hub in Fort Worth, Texas to three hubs over the next three to five years.

Our Québec iron tailings project at Lac Jeannine is moving into feasibility study following the successful completion of our 2025 infill and expansion drilling program, with drilling results expected in Q1, 2026. The feasibility study will include the application of Salter gravity separation technology, which we believe could add significant value to the project.

The Company continues to explore other opportunities in iron ore, copper and other minerals that could benefit from our suite of technologies. We believe the Company’s market price remain materially undervalued compared to the intrinsic value of our asset base and technology portfolio and we have significantly stepped up our marketing efforts to reduce this gap.”

The Company reported a net loss of approximately $2.9 million for the quarter and $8.1 million year-to-date. However, administrative overheads, comprising Professional consulting fees and General and administrative expenses totaled only $1.13m and $2.97m for the quarter and the year to date respectively, with the remainder of the loss mainly derived from non-cash items, accounting adjustments and finance expense provisions.

Highlights for the quarter include:

Operational – HyProMag USA

• Detailed Design and Engineering (“DDE”) more than 25% complete, on time and within budget

• Expanded Texas hub scope from two to three HPMS vessels, increasing NdFeB co-product output

• Commissioned expansion studies evaluating additional hubs in South Carolina and Nevada, which would expand HyProMag USA from one integrated hub to a three-hub national platform – effectively tripling the scale of the original business contemplated in the Feasibility Study

• Commissioned Worley to contemplate a concept study on “Long Loop” recycling

• Executed a feedstock supply and pre-processing site-sharing agreement with Intelligent Lifecycle Solutions (“ILS”) covering South Carolina and Nevada; stockpiling of e-waste has commenced

• Purchased three Inserma/PCB pre-processing units for Texas, Nevada, and South Carolina, with delivery expected before year-end

• Continued engagement with U.S. federal and state agencies and commercial lenders regarding project financing and incentives

Operational – Lac Jeannine

• Completed the 2025 infill and expansion drill program on August 27, 2025; assays expected in Q1 2026

• Purchased a commercial-scale multi-gravity separation unit from Salter to evaluate ultra-fine iron recovery

• Ongoing engagement with the Government of Québec, local stakeholders, and First Nations

Corporate

• Completed the $13.5 million Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (“LIFE”) and concurrent private placement financing, 35% oversubscribed

• Secured $6.6 million in new convertible loan facilities from Kings Chapel and Epic Capital; no amounts drawn as at quarter-end

• Converted $6.851 million of prior Kings Chapel convertible loans into equity following the automatic conversion trigger

• Ended the quarter with $5.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, strengthened by the Q3 financing activities

• Reported a net loss of $2.9 million for the quarter, driven primarily by G&A expenses, non-cash foreign-exchange and valuation adjustments, and share-based compensation

Optimizes Capital Structure and Financial Flexibility

VANCOUVER, BC AND BREDA, NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V:OGO)(OTCQX:OGOFF)(FSE:OGF0) (“Organto” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced prepayment of all outstanding 10% convertible notes totaling CDN $2,340,850, as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its capital structure and position for anticipated growth.

As previously announced on October 24, 2025, the Company provided 30 days’ notice to holders of the convertible notes of its intention to prepay the outstanding notes, including all interest accrued through November 24, 2025. During the notice period, debenture holders had the option to convert their notes at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share; however, 100% of holders elected to receive a cash payment in lieu of conversion. As a result, the Company has repaid principal of CDN $2,340,850 plus accrued interest of $206,829 to note holders.

The prepaid convertible notes were originally scheduled to mature in tranches through March 2027, with $922,000 due in December 2025 and $148,000 due in February 2026, followed by additional maturities in December 2026, February 2027, and March 2027. These debentures were convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share and could have been force-converted if the Company’s stock traded at or above $0.90 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days.

“The proactive prepayment of these convertible notes is a key part of our broader financing strategy,” said Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and CEO of Organto Foods Inc. “By removing the potential dilution and debt service costs related to these convertible securities, we believe we are positioning our business for greater flexibility and improved cash flow as we execute on plans to continue to advance our global organic and fairtrade foods platform. This action reflects our confidence in our business, our commitment to sustainable growth, and our focus on the creation of long-term shareholder value.”

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / There are moments in history when emerging threats move faster than the systems built to defend against them. Today, we are in one of those moments. As global supply chains grow more complex and interconnected, new forms of infiltration are quietly taking shape inside the very infrastructure that powers modern life. These risks are not theoretical. They are structural, and they are accelerating.

Recent concerns about compromised devices and unverified components reflect a broader challenge facing every modern nation: critical infrastructure often depends on materials and technologies that pass through lengthy, opaque supply chains before reaching the people who rely on them. In an environment this interconnected, even a single blind spot can become an entry point. That is the issue the world must understand clearly and calmly.

For years, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has worked at the molecular level to help provide that clarity. By embedding identity and traceability directly into materials at the point of origin, SMX enables end-to-end verification that follows a product throughout its entire lifecycle. This ability to authenticate materials is not a concept and not a future aspiration. It is an operational system currently used across industries such as natural rubber, precious metals, recycling, advanced manufacturing, and hardware supply chains.

These capabilities exist. They are proven. And they are available to any sector that needs them.

A Global Challenge Without a Villain

Don’t underestimate the SMX touch points. Every sector can benefit. The vulnerabilities in supply chains and critical infrastructure are not tied to any one actor, nation, or group. In a globalized economy, infiltration can originate from anywhere and travel through any unverified device, material, or component. A system without transparency creates unintentional opportunities for misuse.

The objective is not to blame or accuse. It is to strengthen resilience.

Complex supply chains, from consumer products to industrial materials to advanced electronics, now sit at the heart of national stability. Safeguarding these systems requires traceability that starts at the source and verification that is foundational, not superficial.

Why This Matters Now

The consequences of a compromised infrastructure reach far beyond inconvenience. Modern society depends on electricity, water systems, transportation networks, logistics, communication platforms, and digital coordination. If any part of this network is disrupted at scale, the effects can cascade rapidly.

If the grid goes down, essential systems become vulnerable. Gas distribution stops. Water treatment facilities stall. Grocery shelves can empty within days. Hospitals face critical shortages. Truckers struggle to move feedstock. Refrigeration fails. Electric vehicles cannot charge. Before long, millions confront conditions that strain every aspect of modern life.

These scenarios are not predictions of doom. They are practical examples of why supply chain integrity is essential to national resilience.

Awareness, Understanding, and the Role of New Tools

This is why understanding emerging tools matters. SMX’s molecular identity system is already supporting partners across several industries, providing transparent material verification from the outset of the supply chain. It’s proving a vital resource for strengthening resilience wherever it is needed.

That’s because molecular-level verification does more than improve transparency. It ensures that materials have memory, that supply chains have accountability, and that infrastructure has the foundational protection required for a connected world. These are not theoretical benefits. They are measurable, operational, and available today.

The risks facing modern infrastructure are real, but so are the technologies capable of mitigating them. This moment calls for clarity, cooperation, and thoughtful engagement across both public and private sectors. Strengthening supply chains is no longer an abstract discussion. It is a practical, achievable step toward safeguarding essential systems.

The Path Forward

The path ahead requires more than awareness. It requires decisive steps to strengthen the systems on which modern life depends. Supply chain transparency is no longer a technical preference. It is an essential component of national resilience.

Infiltration may be a quiet threat, but the solutions are tangible and ready for deployment. Technologies that provide material identity and verification at the source give industries and institutions the tools to reduce risk, reinforce infrastructure, and prepare for an increasingly complex global environment. These are practical measures that can be put to work today, not distant concepts waiting for future progress.

SMX has built technology designed for this moment, technology that proves resilience is achievable when verification becomes foundational. As the world grows more interconnected, the need to secure what we depend on will only intensify. Strengthening supply chains is not a matter of caution. It is a matter of responsibility.

The time to act is now.

About SMX

As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

Forward-Looking Statements

This editorial contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws, including the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect discussions concerning global security conditions, supply chain vulnerabilities, international regulatory environments, and the potential capabilities and future adoption of SMX technologies. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts. They are based on current expectations, beliefs, estimates and projections about future events that remain uncertain and that may differ materially from actual outcomes.

Words such as “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “could,” “should,” “may,” “will,” “project,” “potential,” “future,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements include these identifying terms. Such statements include, but are not limited to, expectations regarding global threats to infrastructure, the evolution of international supply chain standards, regulatory adoption of material-level verification technologies, and the potential for SMX’s molecular identity platform to address national security, sustainability, traceability, and circular-economy challenges.

These statements involve risks, uncertainties, and factors outside SMX’s control, including geopolitical developments, legislative decisions, market adoption rates, technological advancements, enforcement practices, shifts in global trade policy, and third-party reliance on unverifiable data systems. Actual results and developments may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. Readers are encouraged to review the risk factors and disclosures contained in SMX’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
