Quantum BioPharma (QNTM) Featured in Men's Fitness Article Examining Unbuzzd Clinical Trial Results

LOS ANGELES, CA - October 20, 2026 - Quantum BioPharma (NASDAQ: QNTM) was featured in a Men’s Fitness article by Lakshan Weeraratne examining clinical trial results for Unbuzzd, an alcohol recovery formulation developed by Quantum and licensed to Unbuzzd Wellness. The article highlights findings from a company-sponsored, placebo-controlled study involving 26 healthy adults, with 24 completing both treatment sessions. Researchers reported significantly lower estimated blood alcohol concentrations at several time points, improved self-rated alertness and reduced headache severity on certain assessments. Among 17 participants identified as rapid responders, the average percentage decline in estimated blood alcohol during the first 30 minutes was 40.7% greater with Unbuzzd than with placebo. The Men’s Fitness article also emphasized the study’s limitations, including its small sample size, company sponsorship and mixed results across broader measures of hangover severity and cognitive impairment. While the findings suggest potential benefits for certain alcohol recovery measures, the article noted that larger, independent clinical trials are needed to confirm the results. It also cautioned that increased alertness does not indicate sobriety or fitness to drive. About Quantum BioPharma Ltd.

  3. FinanceFootball Legend Jackie Sherrill to Receive Paul Bear Bryant Lifetime Achievement AwardHOUSTON - October 20, 2026 - Jackie Sherrill, one of the most influential and accomplished coaches in college football history, has been selected as the recipient of the American Heart Association’s 2027 Paul “Bear” Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by HFG Wealth Management. The American Heart Association, a relentless force changing the future of health for everyone everywhere, presents the Bear Bryant Awards annually to celebrate excellence in coaching, to honor coach Bryant’s legacy and to raise awareness and critical funds for its mission. The coaching legend died from a heart attack in 1983, just 28 days after his final victory and retirement. Since its inception, the awards have united the football community in support of the Association's lifesaving work. “Coach Sherrill’s impact on college football spans generations and extends far beyond wins and championships,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer of the American Heart Association. “Through his leadership, commitment to excellence and dedication to developing young people, he exemplifies the values that defined coach Bryant’s remarkable legacy and continue to inspire others today. We are honored to recognize coach Sherrill's lasting impact on the game and the people he helped shape throughout his career.” The Lifetime Achievement Award honors a coach for outstanding career accomplishments both on and off the football field. Now in its 28th year, the Paul “Bear” Bryant Lifetime Achievement Award is voted on by the National Sports Media Association and based on criteria established by the Bryant family, which includes integrity, leadership, dedication to the development of young people and excellence in teaching the game of football. Sherrill’s connection to coach Bryant runs deep. A native of Duncan, Oklahoma, Sherrill played for Bryant at the University of Alabama from 1962-65, helping the Crimson Tide win two national championships. He later served as a graduate assistant under Bryant before embarking on a coaching career that would help shape college football for more than three decades. Over 27 seasons as a head coach at Washington State, Pittsburgh, Texas A&M and Mississippi State, Sherrill compiled a career record of 180-120-4, becoming one of the most successful coaches of his era. Sherrill rose to national prominence at the University of Pittsburgh, where he succeeded Johnny Majors and guided the Panthers to a remarkable 50-9-1 record from 1977-81. Under his leadership, Pittsburgh produced five consecutive top 10 finishes and helped develop future Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. His coaching staff during that period also included future national championship-winning coach Jimmy Johnson and future NFL head coach Dave Wannstedt. In 1982, Sherrill moved to Texas A&M, where he transformed the Aggies into a Southwest Conference (SWC) powerhouse. Texas A&M captured three consecutive SWC championships from 1985-87, while Sherrill established the famed “12th Man Kickoff Team” tradition that remains part of Aggie football culture today. He earned three consecutive SWC Coach of the Year honors during that championship run. After arriving at Mississippi State in 1991, Sherrill undertook one of the most impressive rebuilding projects in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). He inherited a program that had not enjoyed a winning season since 1986 and proceeded to guide the Bulldogs to six bowl appearances, an SEC Western Division title in 1998 and a top-15 national finish in 1999. His 75 victories remain the most by any head coach in Mississippi State history. “Receiving an award that bears Coach Bryant’s name is truly special,” said Sherrill. “Coach Bryant shaped my life as a player, a coach and a person. I’ve always believed that success is measured by the people you help develop and the relationships you build along the way. I’m deeply honored and humbled by this recognition.” The Lifetime Achievement Award is one of five honors presented annually during the Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards ceremony, presented by Memorial Hermann Health System in Houston Texas. This year’s ceremony, in its 41st year, will be held on Wednesday, January 27 in Houston and will air on the CBS Sports Network. Bruce Arians was previously announced as the recipient of this year’s Heart of a Champion Award. In addition, the Fan Favorite, Newcomer Coach of the Year, and 2026 Paul “Bear” Bryant National Coach of the Year will be awarded that evening. The Paul “Bear” Bryant Awards support the American Heart Association by raising funds and awareness to advance lifesaving research and improve cardiovascular health.

  4. AIEdgewater Wireless Brings Growing Semiconductor Momentum and Dual-Use Innovation to Canada's Semiconductor Symposium 2026Silicon Valley Investment, Global Semiconductor Engagement and Expanding Customer-Driven Engagement Position Edgewater for Its Next Phase of Commercialization OTTAWA, ON - October 20, 2026 - Edgewater Wireless Systems Inc. (TSXV: YFI) (OTC: KPIFF) (“Edgewater” or the “Company”), the industry pioneer of AI-powered Wi-Fi Spectrum Slicing™ silicon solutions and IP, today announced its participation in Canada’s Semiconductor Symposium 2026, taking place on October 20-21 in Ottawa, Ontario, as the Company advances its next-generation wireless silicon toward customer demonstrations and commercial adoption. Edgewater enters the Symposium with growing momentum, supported by strategic investment, global industry engagement and customer-driven development across next-generation Wi-Fi and high-performance dual-use wireless applications.

The Company also participated in the RDK Global Summit, connecting with leading global broadband operators, OEMs and technology partners. Together, these developments are strengthening Edgewater's industry visibility and access to the expertise, relationships and resources needed to accelerate commercialization. “Industry and financial validation are providing the resources and access to advance our silicon toward customer demonstrations and commercial adoption,” said Andrew Skafel, President and CEO of Edgewater Wireless. “The Silicon Catalyst Angels investment, our growing engagement with global semiconductor leaders and increasing customer interest are coming together at an important point in our development.

Customer-driven engineering activities are helping shape upcoming prototype capabilities and demonstration priorities, with the Company focused on progressing qualified opportunities toward potential design-ins and commercial adoption. “What's particularly exciting is how our technology is opening doors beyond conventional Wi-Fi,” added Skafel. “We're seeing opportunities where reliable, high-performance wireless connectivity is a critical requirement, not simply a convenience. Our focus now is on converting these opportunities into tangible technical and commercial milestones, particularly in the emerging dual-use market.” Global Industry Support Strengthens Execution Edgewater's development program benefits from its relationships with Arm, Synopsys and Silicon Catalyst, alongside engagement with GlobalFoundries and Canada's semiconductor innovation ecosystem.

  5. FinancetZERO Opens New Derivatives Market Infrastructure Vertical With DCO Approval by CFTCDerivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) Registration Expands tZERO’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service Platform Across Securities and Derivatives, Creating New Opportunities for Institutional Clients to Build Multi-Asset Offerings NEW YORK, NY - October 20, 2026 - tZERO Group, Inc., the Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) company powering the tokenized economy, today announced that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has approved the registration of its wholly owned subsidiary, tZERO DCO, LLC, as a derivatives clearing organization (DCO). tZERO’s registration as a derivatives contract market (DCM) is expected to follow shortly. The approval, together with the forthcoming approval of its DCM, opens a new derivatives vertical for tZERO’s IaaS business. Alongside its existing securities and tokenized asset capabilities, tZERO can now develop a regulated exchange and clearinghouse for derivative products such as event contracts and, subject to the regulatory product approvals, tokenized and conventional derivatives, perpetual futures and other crypto products. This will expand the markets it can support and the services it can provide to institutional clients and deliver full-stack turnkey capabilities as well as horizontal interoperability across securities and derivatives workflows. For institutional clients, the new capabilities create a path to develop derivative offerings using tZERO’s trading and clearing infrastructure, subject to product approvals, applicable regulatory requirements and operational readiness. They also advance tZERO’s broader multi-asset model, which is designed to help institutions offer their customers access to a range of financial products through modular integrations and white label solutions. “This is a major expansion of what tZERO can build with institutions,” said Alan Konevsky, Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “We have spent years assembling regulated infrastructure for tokenized securities and other financial assets. With a clearinghouse registration, and forthcoming exchange registration for derivatives, we can address an additional market and support a much broader set of client ambitions. Institutions increasingly want the flexibility to bring multiple asset classes to their customers, and our Infrastructure-as-a-Service model is built to help them do that.” The combination distinguishes tZERO within the tokenization market. While many providers focus on issuing or servicing tokenized assets, tZERO’s regulated capabilities span multiple stages of the market lifecycle. The DCO, together with the forthcoming DCM, extends that infrastructure from securities into derivatives, positioning tZERO to support institutions developing offerings across traditional and tokenized securities, derivatives and other eligible products. “This is a pinnacle moment in our licensing journey,” said Vanessa Savino, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer of tZERO. “We’ll grow this new capability the same way we have in securities: iteratively, responsibly and in step with our clients’ needs. Together with our pending DCM application, we are positioned to be one of the most comprehensive providers of regulated infrastructure for tokenized markets.” “We saw an opportunity to make trading and clearing capabilities part of the infrastructure we offer institutional partners,” said Al Swimmer, Chief Strategic Relationships Officer of tZERO. “For a firm considering a derivatives offering, the challenge extends well beyond choosing a product – it includes the infrastructure and relationships needed to bring that product to market. These registrations position us to work with partners earlier in that process and help shape offerings around their customers’ needs.” The new entities will enable tZERO to support its institutional clients that wish to develop derivatives products for trading through tZERO’s newly approved clearinghouse and pending exchange, subject to applicable regulatory and operational requirements. Separately, tZERO’s multi-asset strategy includes enabling access to products offered on third-party markets through tZERO’s introducing broker. Together, these capabilities will help institutional partners offer their customers a broader range of products across tZERO’s multi-asset platform, with full horizontal interoperability across the securities and derivatives IaaS verticals. A DCO is a CFTC-regulated clearinghouse that provides clearing and settlement services for derivatives transactions and manages the associated counterparty credit risk. tZERO announced its applications for both registrations in September 2025. tZERO MEDIA CONTACT: Julie Ros, Head of Marketing & Communications [email protected] About tZERO Group, Inc. tZERO Group, Inc.

  6. SaaSTreVita Reports 127% Rise in Plastic Surgery Program as More Americans Explore Medical TravelCompany Reports 19% Increase in Male Clients as Growing Demand, GLP-1 Weight Loss and Changing Attitudes Toward Cosmetic Surgery Reshape the Market Key Highlights: TreVita has recorded a 127% year-over-year increase in interest in plastic surgery, as more Americans explore traveling abroad for procedures. The company has also seen a 19% increase in male plastic surgery clients, reflecting the expanding demographics of patients considering cosmetic procedures. TreVita continues to expand its network of TreVita Verified medical practitioners across its specialties as demand for its medical travel programs grows. SAN DIEGO, CA - October 20, 2026 - TreVita, a U.S.-based medical travel company, today announced a 127% year-over-year increase in its plastic surgery program, alongside a 19% increase in male clients as cosmetic procedures attract a broader range of patients and more Americans consider traveling for care. The increase comes amid renewed growth across plastic surgery overall. Cosmetic surgical procedures in the U.S. increased 7% in 2025, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), with liposuction, breast augmentation and tummy tucks among the most in-demand procedures. Globally, more than 35 million surgical and nonsurgical aesthetic procedures were performed in 2025, according to newly released data from the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ISAPS). Men accounted for more than 14% of surgical procedures worldwide, with eyelid surgery, gynecomastia surgery and rhinoplasty ranking as their three most common surgical procedures. TreVita is also seeing demand evolve alongside the widespread adoption of GLP-1 weight-loss medications. Significant weight loss can leave patients with excess or loose skin, increasing interest in procedures designed to remove skin and reshape areas of the body. In 2025, 82% of ASPS member surgeons reported receiving consultation requests related to GLP-1 use. During the same year, upper body lifts increased 22%, arm lifts 21%, thigh lifts 20% and breast lifts 8%. ASPS cautions that its data does not establish GLP-1 use as the cause of growth in any specific procedure category, but the medications have clearly become a significant part of patient conversations around plastic surgery. “Plastic surgery is becoming relevant to a much broader group of people than it was even a few years ago,” said Blake Schroeder, CEO of TreVita. “We’re seeing that firsthand, from more men exploring procedures to patients looking to address changes after significant weight loss. As more people look beyond the U.S. for care, our purpose of removing barriers and helping people achieve outcomes far greater than imagined, while putting safety, integrity and genuine care at the center of the experience, becomes more important than ever.” TreVita currently works with five TreVita Verified medical facilities in Zona Río as part of its plastic surgery medical travel program and continues to vet additional medical practitioners and facilities as demand grows. Every facility, clinician and surgeon TreVita works with undergoes a rigorous five-step vetting process in order to become TreVita Verified, which includes independent verification of medical credentials, licensure and specialty certifications; review of professional history, patient feedback and public records; and in-person evaluation of physicians and facilities. TreVita also works with a partner plastic surgery clinic in Cartagena, Colombia, extending its medical travel offering to the Caribbean coast while maintaining the same commitment to physician vetting, safety and individualized care. In Cartagena, clients have access to private recovery accommodations in the Bocagrande neighborhood, with 24/7 nursing support, post-operative therapies, chef-prepared meals and dedicated care coordination throughout their recovery. “We know that one of the biggest questions people have when considering care outside the United States is, ‘How do I know who I can trust?’” Schroeder said. “TreVita Verified is our answer to that question. Our process goes much deeper than looking at a website or accepting a credential at face value. We independently verify, research and meet the people we work with because patients should have as much information as possible before making an important decision about their care.” Beyond plastic surgery, TreVita supports patients seeking bariatric surgery, hair restoration, regenerative medicine and other specialty care, providing end-to-end support throughout the medical travel journey. Across its partner locations in Mexico and Colombia, TreVita helps coordinate physician consultations, travel, treatment and recovery, remaining involved from the first consultation through post-procedure follow-up to give clients a trusted partner before, during and after their care.
