                                        <p><em><strong>Preliminary April through July 2026 analysis extends the Company&#039;s winter results into the warm season</strong></em></p><p><strong>NAPLES, FL / <a href="https://www.accessnewswire.com/">ACCESS Newswire</a> / October 22, 2026 / </strong>Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. (NASDAQ:RAIN) (&#34;RET&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;), a leading provider of ionization precipitation enhancement technology, today announced preliminary warm-season results from its deployment of the WETA (Weather Enhancement Technology Array) in Utah&#039;s La Sal Mountains. The Company&#039;s analysis of April through July 2026 precipitation at the La Sal Upper monitoring station estimates more than 20% enhancement compared with what the site would have been expected to receive without the WETA. Both statistical models used in the evaluation place the probability that the WETA had a positive effect above 80%.</p><p>The results follow RET&#039;s previously reported winter 2025-26 findings, in which the Company&#039;s analysis estimated more than 20% enhancement in snow water equivalent at the same site during a historically dry winter. Together, the two periods indicate that the WETA&#039;s effect extends beyond snow season into the spring and summer months, when water demand from agriculture, communities and ecosystems typically peaks.</p><p>&#34;Our winter results showed what the WETA can do for snowpack. These warm-season findings matter because they show the same installation continuing to deliver during the months when farmers, ranchers and water managers feel water stress most directly,&#34; said Randy Seidl, CEO of Rain Enhancement Technologies. &#34;We are reporting these as preliminary results, and we are deliberately conservative in how we present them. We would rather let the data build the case season by season than overstate what a single season can tell us.&#34;</p><p>The WETA array is installed on Flat Iron Mesa, several miles inside San Juan County, Utah, near the La Sal Mountains, and its area of influence extends across portions of both San Juan and Grand counties. During precipitation events, prevailing southwest winds carry the array&#039;s ions northeast toward the range. To isolate the WETA&#039;s effect from natural weather variability, RET&#039;s science team used a counterfactual approach: the team trained statistical models on the historical relationship between precipitation in the La Sal Mountains and two control stations in the Abajo Mountains, approximately 40 miles to the south. The Abajo sites experience the same storm systems as La Sal but lie outside the area influenced by the WETA. The models then used observed Abajo data from the operating period to estimate what La Sal would have received without the WETA and compared that estimate with what was actually measured. All four stations are part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture&#039;s Natural Resources Conservation Service SNOTEL (Snow Telemetry) network.</p><p>&#34;The question we set out to answer is simple: how much precipitation would La Sal have received without the WETA?&#34; said Dr. Jeffrey Chagnon, Senior Meteorologist at Rain Enhancement Technologies. &#34;By building that estimate from control sites that see the same storms, and testing it with two very different statistical approaches, we can separate the array&#039;s effect from the natural ups and downs of the weather. Both models point in the same direction for the April through July period, which gives us confidence in the seasonal result.&#34;</p><p>RET evaluated the data using two separate statistical methods, ridge regression and Bayesian Structural Time Series (BSTS). From April through July 2026, the La Sal Upper station recorded 9.90 inches of precipitation. Both models attribute more than 2 inches of that total to enhancement. The estimated probability that the effect was positive was 97% under the ridge regression model and 82% under the BSTS model. Both models estimated a positive effect in each month, although, as expected, month-by-month estimates carry more uncertainty than the seasonal total.</p><p>Consistent with the Company&#039;s operating protocols, RET suspended WETA operations during National Weather Service flood warnings in the region in August and September 2026. Because the array operated for only part of those months, RET has excluded them from this analysis.</p><p>Unlike conventional cloud seeding, which generally depends on sub-freezing conditions and aircraft or chemical dispersal, the WETA is a ground-based, solar-powered, chemical-free system that operates autonomously year-round. RET continues to monitor the La Sal deployment and will report additional results as further seasons of data become available.</p><p><strong>About Rain Enhancement Technologies, Inc.</strong></p><p>Rain Enhancement Technologies was founded to provide the world with reliable access to water, one of life&#039;s most important resources. To achieve this mission, RET develops, manufactures, and commercializes ionization precipitation generation technology that enhances rainfall and snowpack to address water scarcity challenges. The Company is also developing applications for fog mitigation to expand its weather modification capabilities. RET&#039;s chemical-free, solar-powered technology seeks to transform water resource management for businesses, society, and the planet.

                                        <p><strong>STURGIS, MI / <a href="https://www.accessnewswire.com/">ACCESS Newswire</a> / October 22, 2026 / </strong>Sturgis Bancorp, Inc. (OTCQX:STBI) today reported for the third quarter of 2026:</p><p><strong><u>Tier 1 Capital</u></strong></p><p>The Bank maintained strong capital ratios, exceeding well capitalized requirements, with Tier 1 leverage capital at 9.21%.</p><p><strong><u>Key Quarterly Highlights</u></strong></p><ul><li>Net income was $2.5 million.</li><li>Earnings per share of $1.17.</li><li>Paid dividend of $0.18 per share.</li><li>Total assets increased to $1.1 billion.</li></ul><p><strong><u>From Jason J. Hyska, Sturgis Bancorp, Inc. Chief Executive Officer</u></strong></p><p>&#34;The Bank had a solid third quarter. Earnings growth and tax equivalent net interest margin are up YTD 2026, compared to 2025, while credit quality remains on solid footing. Bancorp also completed a Subordinate Debt Raise that gave the Bank additional capital as we continue market expansion. The Bank recently purchased real estate for a new branch location in Paw Paw, Michigan that will help solidify our footprint in Van Buren County. We expect this full-service office to open late 2027. The Community Banking model is very much alive and well. The Bank will continue to strategically explore geographic areas where we believe a Community Bank can thrive and put the additional capital to work for our shareholders.&#34;</p><p><strong><u>Quarterly Income Statement Highlights</u></strong></p><ul><li>Net income for the quarter (3Q26) was $2.5 million, similar to last quarter&#039;s (2Q26) $2.5 million net income and up from $2.4 million net income for the same quarter of the prior year (3Q25).</li><li>Earnings per share were $1.17 for 3Q26, $1.16 for 2Q26, and $1.09 for 3Q25.</li><li>Tax equivalent net interest margin decreased to 3.72% for 3Q26 from 3.77% from 2Q26, while increasing from 3.54% for 3Q25.</li><li>Net interest income was $8.9 million during 3Q26, a 2.06% increase from 2Q26&#039;s $8.8 million and a 7.71% increase from 3Q25&#039;s $8.3 million. These increases were primarily due to interest and dividend income from taxable securities of $1.9 million in 3Q26, compared to income of $1.2 million in 3Q25, as debt securities have increased over the past year.</li><li>The provision for credit losses was $45,000 for 3Q26, while 2Q26 and 3Q25 reported reversals to the provision of ($688,000) and ($62,000), respectively. The 2Q26 reversal was substantially related to a $40.1 million sale of residential mortgages, which reduced the overall loan portfolio as a whole.</li><li>Noninterest income totaled $2.8 million during 3Q26, a 31.67% increase from 2Q26&#039;s $2.1 million, and a 13.75% increase from 3Q25&#039;s $2.4 million.</li><li>Noninterest expenses totaled $8.5 million during 3Q26, a 1.16% increase from 2Q26&#039;s $8.4 million, and an 8.16% increase from 3Q26&#039;s $7.9 million.</li></ul><p><strong><u>Year-to-Date Income Statement Highlights</u></strong></p><ul><li>Net income for the first nine months of 2026 (YTD 2026) was $7.0 million compared to $5.4 million for the first nine months of 2025 (YTD 2025).</li><li>Earnings per share were $3.21 for YTD 2026 and $2.52 for YTD 2025.</li><li>Tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.73% for YTD 2026 and 3.57% for YTD 2025.</li><li>Net interest income was $26.3 million during 3Q26, a 9.40% increase from 3Q25&#039;s $24.1 million. This increase was primarily due to interest and dividend income from taxable securities of $4.4 million for YTD 2026, compared to $2.8 million in 3Q25, as debt securities have increased over the past year.</li><li>Noninterest income totaled $7.2 million for YTD 2026, a 6.46% increase from YTD 2025&#039;s $6.8 million.</li><li>Noninterest expenses totaled $25.4 million for YTD 2026, a 4.78% increase from YTD 2025&#039;s $24.2 million. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits to $15.2 million for YTD 2026, compared to $14.6 million for YTD 2025. Most of this increase is attributable to typical wage increases.</li></ul><p><strong><u>Balance Sheet Highlights</u></strong></p><ul><li>Total assets increased to $1.1 billion at the end of 3Q26, a 4.0% increase from the end on 2Q26&#039;s $1.0 billion, and a 7.22% increase from the end of 3Q25&#039;s $999 million.</li><li>Cash and cash equivalents decreased to $35.1 million at the end of 3Q26, compared to $65.1 at the end of 2Q26 and $46.0 million at the end of 3Q25.</li><li>Debt securities - available-for-sale increased to $166 million at the end of 3Q26, compared to $113 million at the end of 2Q26 and $77.1 million at the end of 3Q25. This increase was primarily due to reinvesting the loan sale proceeds from the aforementioned $40.1 million sale of residential mortgages.</li><li>Loans held for sale decreased to $373,000 at the end of 3Q26, compared to $5.3 million at the end of 2Q26 and $5.8 million at the end of 3Q25. Loan sales were suspended in 3Q26, as the net yield on these loans was favorable compared to alternative investing opportunities.</li><li>Loans, net of allowance for credit losses increased to $772 million at the end of 3Q26, compared to $755 million at the end of 2Q26, while it decreased compared to $781 million at the end of 3Q25.<ul><li>Increase from prior quarter due to suspension of loan sales and overall loan growth.</li><li>Decrease from the same quarter for the prior year due to aforementioned $40.1 million sale of residential mortgages. This sale was a strategic decision to enhance the Bank&#039;s interest rate risk profile.</li></ul></li><li>Bank-owned life insurance increased to $21.2 million at the end of 3Q26, compared to $16.1 million at the end of 2Q26 and $15.7 million at the end of 3Q25. During the quarter, the Bank purchased additional life insurance on key employees as a long-term investment to help manage the increasing costs of providing employee benefit programs.</li><li>Total deposits as of the end of 3Q26 were $952 million, compared with $893 million at the end of 2Q26 and $894 million at the end of 3Q25.</li><li>Borrowed funds decreased to $15.7 million at the end of 3Q26, compared to $56.6 million at the end of 2Q26 and $15.7 million at the end of 3Q25. The Bank paid off short-term borrowings with cash reserves in part from the offering of new subordinated debt during 3Q26.</li><li>Subordinated debt was issued during 3Q26 and ended the quarter at $24.8 million. There was a balance of $15.0 million at the end of 3Q25. The prior year&#039;s debt was called in 4Q25, which is why there was no balance at the end of 2Q26. The Bank used the net proceeds from the 3Q26 issuance for general corporate purposes, including repayment of approximately $17.9 million of existing indebtedness and a downstream of capital to the Bank.</li></ul><ul><li>Total equity at the end of 3Q26 was $65.6 million, compared to $66.8 million at the end of 2Q26 and $61.3 million at the end of 3Q25. Although retained earnings increased $2.1 million during 3Q26, this was offset by a $3.4 million unrealized loss in other comprehensive income, due to market value decreases in available-for-sale debt securities during the quarter.</li><li>Book value per share was $30.13 ($25.81 tangible) at the end of 3Q26, compared to $30.73 ($26.41 tangible) at the end of 2Q26 and $28.29 ($24.15 tangible) at the end of 3Q25.</li></ul><p><strong><u>About Sturgis Bancorp, Inc.</u></strong></p><p>Sturgis Bancorp, Inc. is the holding company for Sturgis Bank &amp; Trust Company (the Bank), and its subsidiaries: Oakleaf Financial Services, Ayres/Oak Insurance, and Oak Title Services.

                                        <p><em><strong><u>COMMERCIAL NATIONAL REPORTS 55.2% THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS INCREASE</u></strong></em></p><p><strong>LATROBE, PA / <a href="https://www.accessnewswire.com/">ACCESS Newswire</a> / October 22, 2026 / </strong>Commercial National Financial Corporation (OTCQX:CNAF)(Company), parent Company of Commercial Bank &amp; Trust of PA, has reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026. The Company earned $692,000 (or $0.24 per average share outstanding) in the third quarter 2026 compared to $446,000 (or $0.16 per average share outstanding) in the third quarter of 2025. The Company earned $1,693,000 (or $0.60 per average share outstanding) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 and $1,328,000 (or $0.46 per average share outstanding) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.</p><p>The Company&#039;s third-quarter earnings increased 55.2% while nine-month earnings increased 27.5%. Third quarter-end 2026 tax equivalent net interest margin improved to 4.00%. Fully insured well diversified core deposits comprised 83.50% of total deposits which favorably compares to national banking industry metrics. Federal Home Loan Bank member advances were utilized during late September in facilitating the acquisition of amortizing GNMA mortgage backed pass-through securities to capitalize on the opportunity presented by a multi-decade spike in market yields. Asset quality remained attractive. Capital adequacy and strength greatly exceeded major banking industry benchmarks. Tier one risk-based, total risk-based, leverage and common equity tier one capital ratios at September 30, 2026 were 26.67%, 26.99%, 14.87% and 26.67% respectively. Tier one capital was $57,108,000 and total risk-based capital was $57,792,000 while book capital reflected a temporary after-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss stemming from net unrealized securities available-for-sale market value depreciation. As with many other insured depository institutions nationwide, the Company&#039;s securities portfolio remains impacted by generationally elevated trade, fiscal and monetary macro policy volatility.</p><p>On August 20, 2026 the Company announced a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 114,680 shares of its common stock, representing 4% of the Company&#039;s currently outstanding shares. The repurchase program reauthorizes the program adopted on August 19, 2025, which lapsed after its one-year effective period following the repurchase of 28,368 shares of common stock under the program. Since August 19, 2025, the Company has repurchased 52,550 shares of its common stock through September 30, 2026, at an average price of $8.42 per share. The Company intends to conduct the repurchases on the open market, including by means of a trading plan adopted under SEC Rule 10b5-1, subject to market conditions and other factors. There is no guarantee as to the number of shares that the Company may ultimately repurchase. The Company may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.</p><p>Direct and beneficial ownership by executive officers and directors of the Company&#039;s outstanding shares totaled 504,607 shares, or 17.97% on September 30, 2026.</p><p>As disclosed each year in the Annual Report to Shareholders, on September 30, 2026, the Company employed 76 people in full-time and part-time positions. Thirty-one (31) employees are represented by the United Auto Workers, Local 1799. Of that bargaining unit total, twenty-eight (28) employees are full-time and there are three (3) part-time employees. The Company has had unionized employees since 1972. In November 2023, the agreement between the Company and the bargaining unit was negotiated and subsequently ratified by the bargaining unit with an effective date of February 15, 2024. The labor agreement will expire in February 2029. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Labor Relations Board both afford protection to the organized status of pre-existing collective bargaining units. The Company has been advised that bargaining unit status limits the Company&#039;s strategic options relative to those of non-unionized insured depository institutions. The Company continues to consider this as a factor in its strategic and capital management decisions.</p><p>The Company operates seven community banking facilities in Hempfield Township, Latrobe, Ligonier, Unity Township and West Newton, Pennsylvania and also maintains a commercial business development sales force throughout its entire market area. The Company operates an asset management and trust division of Commercial Bank &amp; Trust of PA headquartered in Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Commercial Bank &amp; Trust of PA also serves its customer base from an Internet banking site (<a href="https://pr.report/skw3" rel="nofollow">www.cnbthebankonline.com</a>) and an automated TouchTone Teller banking system.</p><p><em>Safe Harbor Statement</em></p><p><em>Forward-looking statements (statements which are not historical facts) in this release are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Company&#039;s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol &#34;ARAI&#34; without interruption.</p><p>The transfer allows the Company to regain compliance with two continued listing requirements: the minimum market value of listed securities requirement; and the minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement. The Company continues to work toward regaining compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, for which it has until 11/30/2026 to demonstrate compliance and will provide updates as appropriate.</p><p>&#34;I am excited to report that we are well on our way to regaining compliance on the Nasdaq! Our move to the Nasdaq Capital Market is appropriate for Arrive AI&#039;s current status and, importantly, does not impact our shareholders,&#34; said Dan O&#039;Toole, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Arrive AI. &#34;Our focus is execution: getting Arrive Points into the field, growing our partnerships and delivering for customers.&#34;</p><p><strong>Recent momentum</strong></p><p>Since early October, Arrive AI has announced a series of steps across its product, its collaborations, and new markets:</p><p><strong>AP3 Plus (October 7)</strong>: Arrive AI introduced the AP3 Plus, the latest version of its Arrive Point<sup>™</sup> secure delivery endpoint.

Attendees joined in person and online to see robots hand off packages to Arrive Points<sup>™</sup>, visit interactive demonstration stations, and see Arrive OS and the simulation and design tools behind it.</p><p><strong>Drone delivery (October 9)</strong>: Arrive AI announced that it is working with Modovolo to develop automated package delivery, bringing together Modovolo&#039;s modular Lift drone platform and Arrive AI&#039;s intelligent delivery stations.</p><p><strong>Defense (October 12)</strong>: Arrive AI announced a new Defense Division, to be led by Chief Strategy Officer Neerav Shah, focused on military, defense and national security markets.</p><p><strong>Golf and hospitality (October 13)</strong>: Arrive AI and Rivo announced that they are integrating Arrive Points<sup>™</sup> into Rivo&#039;s autonomous solutions platform, beginning with a proof-of-concept program for secure autonomous delivery at golf properties.</p><p><strong>Research (October 20)</strong>: Arrive AI and Purdue University announced that they have begun discussions to explore testing Arrive Point<sup>™</sup> technology with a range of robot platforms on Purdue&#039;s campus.</p><p>Details on each announcement are available at <a href="https://pr.report/sklz" rel="nofollow">investors.arriveai.com</a>.</p><p><strong>About Arrive AI</strong></p><p>Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI) is building the infrastructure for autonomous logistics through a network of intelligent delivery endpoints that enable secure, asynchronous exchange of goods.

                                        <p><em><strong>Highlights Include New and Repeat Operator Installations, Independent Third-Party Product Selections, EGYM Integration, New Training Partner, and New Coaching and Member Content</strong></em></p><p><em><strong>Company Underscores Significant Opportunity to Grow Its Portfolio, Given Attractive M&amp;A pipeline</strong></em></p><p><strong>AUSTIN, TX / <a href="https://www.accessnewswire.com/">ACCESS Newswire</a> / October 22, 2026 / </strong>Interactive Strength Inc. (Nasdaq:TRNR) (&#34;TRNR&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;), owner of the Wattbike, Ergatta, CLMBR and FORME connected fitness brands and pending acquirer of STEPR, today shared Q3, plus October, highlights of commercial activity within its premium portfolio. This progress is often announced by partners and independent publications, or at the brand or customer level, and demonstrates how active and productive TRNR&#039;s portfolio companies have been in recent months.</p><p>Trent Ward, CEO of TRNR, stated: &#34;Earlier this week we said that we expect to report record quarterly revenue of $8.0 million for the third quarter on November 16. The highlights we are sharing today reflect the commercial work behind that expectation, much of which is announced in the markets and across the channels where our brands operate. When consolidated, this activity is significant in both its frequency and diversity - and we wanted to communicate this directly to our shareholders. We are pleased with this commercial progress, and look forward to reporting our results in a few weeks.&#34;</p><p>Mr. Ward continued that, &#34;Our M&amp;A pipeline continues to grow significantly and we are consistently identifying attractive opportunities to expand on what we&#039;ve built to date. We believe that the increased acquisition activity improves expected returns, as we are able to optimize for the most attractive deals, and given our larger portfolio, we are able to identify more significant synergies for any new potential acquisition.&#34;</p><p><strong>Ergatta highlights</strong></p><p><u>iFIT launched the iFIT &amp; Ergatta Fall Cup, a three-stage virtual racing competition for iFIT Pro members on connected NordicTrack and ProForm treadmills, bikes and rowers</u> (announced September 24, 2026; first stage began October 12, 2026). The Fall Cup runs in weekly stages from October 12 to November 2, 2026, with a make-up week to November 9, and results are segmented by gender, age group and modality. It follows the first iFIT &amp; Ergatta Spring Cup, which iFIT said brought thousands of members into a month of virtual racing across treadmill, bike and rower. Ergatta licenses its games to iFIT under a content partnership that TRNR announced in June 2026 had been extended to mid-2028. The competition was announced by iFIT.</p><p><u>Fortune named the Ergatta Luxe its best water-powered rowing machine in its 2026 rowing machine guide</u> (published July 8, 2026, updated September 8, 2026).</p><p><u>Ergatta released a rower software update standardizing in-game metrics across all experiences</u>, adding mid-workout sound control without loss of Rankings eligibility, and redesigning the pause screen (August 27, 2026).</p><p><u>Ergatta added six new scenic rows filmed in the Canadian Rockies and five new coached classes to its member library</u>(September 15, 2026).</p><p><u>Ergatta released two new Push Programs, Endeavor: Proving Grounds and Classes: Cadence Control</u> (October 14, 2026).

(&#34;XCF&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;) (Nasdaq:SAFX)</strong>, a growing U.S.-based producer of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (&#34;SAF&#34;), today highlighted an immediate commercial catalyst driven by the rapid nationwide expansion of state-level Low Carbon Fuel Standard (&#34;LCFS&#34;) programs.</p><p>As state clean fuel programs expand, XCF estimates a potential $21 million in annual market-based clean fuel credit value based on prevailing credit pricing and assuming production at the up to 38-million-gallon annual nameplate capacity of its flagship Reno production asset.</p><p><strong>Key Financial &amp; Operational Catalysts:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>$21 million Potential Annual Revenue Catalyst:</strong> XCF estimates $21 million in annual clean fuel credit value based on current market pricing and assuming production from its permitted 38-million-gallon/year flagship facility, New Rise Renewables Reno.</li><li><strong>Expanding Multi-State Market Tailwinds: </strong>Active programs in California, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, and Hawaii are driving demand for qualifying lower-carbon fuels, while 6 additional industrial states including Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont, are seeking to advance legislation to enforce clean fuel standard requirements.</li><li><strong>Directly Stackable Cash-Flow Multiplier:</strong> State-level LCFS credits stack directly on top of federal incentives for qualifying lower-carbon fuels, creating a compounded revenue stream on every gallon produced. Scalable Commercial Expansion Pipeline: Beyond Reno, XCF is advancing commercial expansion assets across Nevada, North Carolina, and Florida to scale production capacity and meet surging structural demand.</li><li><strong>A Meaningful Cash Flow Opportunity: </strong>Clean fuel standards establish a mandatory market framework where non-compliant fossil fuel suppliers must buy credits directly from low-carbon producers like XCF. Because state credits are earned in addition to federal renewable volume incentives, accelerating state adoption creates a compounding revenue engine that substantially increases net realized price per gallon.</li></ul><p>&#34;As we scale production at New Rise Renewables Reno, state clean fuel programs represent a meaningful potential cash flow opportunity from qualifying renewable fuel production,&#34; said Chris Cooper, Chief Executive Officer of XCF Global. &#34;Our focus remains on disciplined operational execution while positioning XCF to capture the commercial opportunities available across federal and state renewable fuel markets.&#34;</p><p>XCF&#039;s flagship asset, New Rise Renewables Reno, provides immediate industrial scale with an up to 38-million-gallon-per-year permitted nameplate capacity. Following its recent combinations with DevvStream Corp. and Southern Energy Renewables, XCF has expanded its platform across renewable fuels, carbon management and environmental assets. The Company is also seeking to advance a pipeline of potential expansion projects across Nevada, North Carolina and Florida that it believes could support increased renewable fuel production and serve the aviation and commercial transportation sectors.</p><p><strong>About XCF Global, Inc.</strong></p><p>XCF Global, Inc.
