Bitmine Immersion Technologies Announces Proposed Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock Offering

NORWALK, Conn., June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bitmine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BMNR) (“BMNR,” “Bitmine” or the “Company”) today announced that, subject to market and other conditions, it intends to offer, in a public offering (the “offering”) registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), 3,000,000 shares of BMNR’s 9.50% Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

BMNR intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, which may include the acquisition of additional ETH and other digital assets; the expansion of the Company’s staking and validator infrastructure, including through MAVAN; working capital; strategic investments aligned with the Ethereum ecosystem and broader digital asset adoption; and/or repurchases of the Company’s common stock under its share repurchase program.

The Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a fixed rate of 9.50% per annum on the stated amount, which is $100 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, regardless of whether or not declared or funds are legally available for their payment (the “stated amount”). Regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable when, as and if declared by BMNR’s board of directors, out of funds legally available for their payment, weekly in arrears; provided that the Company may in the future elect, in its sole discretion, to pay regular dividends more frequently. Declared regular dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable solely in cash. In the event that any accumulated regular dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock is not paid on the applicable regular dividend payment date, then additional regular dividends (“compounded dividends”) will accumulate on the amount of such unpaid regular dividend, compounded weekly at the compounded dividend rate. The Company will have the flexibility to elect to increase the payment frequency of regular dividends to be more often than weekly and, in the event that the Company so elects, the additional dividend rate increase per regular dividend period will be proportionately reduced to reflect such shorter regular dividend period such that the maximum aggregate additional dividend rate increase per annum is 260 basis points.

The compounded dividend rate applicable to any unpaid regular dividend that was due on a regular dividend payment date will initially be a rate per annum equal to 9.50% plus 5 basis points (based on a weekly regular dividend period); provided, however, that, until such regular dividend, together with compounded dividends thereon, is paid in full, such compounded dividend rate will increase by 5 basis points per annum (based on a weekly regular dividend period) for each subsequent regular dividend period, up to a maximum dividend rate of 15% per annum.

The Company will have the right, at its election, to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, for cash as follows: (i) from the original issue date until eighteen (18) months after the original issue date, at a redemption price equal to 110% of the stated amount per share; (ii) from eighteen (18) months to three (3) years after the original issue date, at a redemption price equal to 105% of the stated amount per share; and (iii) after three (3) years following the original issue date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the stated amount per share; plus, in each case, accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In addition, the Company will have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series A Preferred Stock if the total number of shares of all Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding is less than 25% of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock originally issued in the offering and in any future offering taken together. The Company will also have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Series A Preferred Stock if certain tax events occur. The redemption price for any Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed in connection with a clean-up call or tax event will be a cash amount equal to the liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed as of the business day before the date on which the Company sends the related redemption notice, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If an event that constitutes a “fundamental change” under the certificate of designations governing the Series A Preferred Stock occurs, then holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have the right to require BMNR to repurchase some or all of their shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a cash repurchase price equal to the stated amount of the Series A Preferred Stock to be repurchased, plus accumulated and unpaid regular dividends, if any, to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The liquidation preference of the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be $100 per share. Effective immediately after the close of business on each business day after the initial issue date (and, if applicable, during the course of a business day on which any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock is executed, from the exact time of the first such sale transaction during such business day until the close of business of such business day), the liquidation preference per share of Series A Preferred Stock will be adjusted to be the greatest of (i) the stated amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock; (ii) in the case of any business day with respect to which the Company has, on such business day or any business day during the ten (10) trading day period preceding such business day, executed any sale transaction to be settled by the issuance of Series A Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the last reported sale price per share of Series A Preferred Stock on the trading day immediately before such business day; and (iii) the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of Series A Preferred Stock for each trading day of the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding such business day; provided, however, that, if applicable, the reference in (iii) to ten (10) will be replaced by such lesser number of trading days as have elapsed during the period from, and including, the initial issue date to, but excluding, such business day. However, the liquidation preference will not be adjusted to an amount that is less than $100 per share.

BMNR has applied to list the Series A Preferred Stock on The New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BMNP.” If the listing is approved, BMNR expects trading to commence within 30 days after the date the Series A Preferred Stock is first issued.

Moelis & Company and Cantor are acting as joint lead bookrunners for the offering.

ERA Congress: Semaglutide linked to better quality of life in diabetes and kidney disease, FLOW trial shows

GLASGOW, Scotland, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — New findings from the landmark FLOW trial, presented at the 63rd ERA Congress, show that once-weekly semaglutide significantly improved health-related quality of life in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), equivalent to around eight additional days in full health per year.

The trial previously demonstrated that semaglutide reduced the risk of major kidney disease events by 24% and all-cause mortality by 20% compared with placebo over a median treatment duration of 3.4 years. This new analysis provides complementary patient-centred evidence, showing that the benefits of semaglutide may extend beyond traditional clinical outcomes to how patients feel and function in everyday life.

For people living with both T2D and CKD, symptoms, treatment burden and reduced physical functioning can substantially affect day-to-day well-being, making quality of life an increasingly important treatment goal.

Among 3,533 randomised participants in the FLOW trial, 1,767 received semaglutide and 1,766 received placebo. Health-related quality of life was assessed using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, a patient-reported measure of health status and well-being covering mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, and overall health perception.

After two years of treatment, health utility scores – which range from 0 (death) to 1 (perfect health) – remained stable in the semaglutide group but declined in those receiving placebo. The estimated treatment difference of +0.021 (p=0.0001) corresponded to approximately eight additional days per year spent in full health.

Self-rated general health scores also improved with semaglutide but worsened with placebo, with a significant treatment difference of +2.15 (p<0.0001), again becoming worse over time with placebo while stable on semaglutide.

Four of the five areas assessed by the questionnaire (mobility, self-care, usual activities, and pain/discomfort) improved significantly with semaglutide compared with placebo. No significant difference was observed in anxiety/depression. Benefits were broadly consistent across patient subgroups.

“We were surprised by the extent of the quality-of-life benefits seen with semaglutide, because they were not only clinically meaningful but consistently experienced across multiple aspects of daily life, including physical functioning and overall well-being,” said Professor Johannes Mann, study lead author.

“We were uncertain about quality-of-life outcomes because gastrointestinal side effects are common with GLP-1 receptor agonists,” Prof. Mann furthered. “Our findings confirm that the benefits of semaglutide in chronic kidney disease extend beyond traditional clinical endpoints to subjective outcomes that matter directly to patients.”

YY Group (NASDAQ: YYGH) Advances AI Training Data Strategy with Launch of Training Lab and Pilot Robotics Deployments in Singapore

Singapore Humanoid Robot Training Lab Powered by NVIDIA Accelerated Computing Technology

Establishes a “Human-Robot Co-Working” framework, positioning the Company to offer AI-enhanced labor solutions across hospitality, retail and other service environments

SINGAPORE, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group” or the “Company”), an AI-native workforce management platform and integrated facility management (IFM) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced the next stage of the AI training data strategy it introduced on April 22, 2026: the launch of its Humanoid Robotics Training Lab in Singapore, complemented by pilot deployments of humanoid robots in two of Singapore’s leading commercial retail and hospitality facilities. Taken together, these initiatives form YY Group’s “Human-Robot Co-Working” framework, the foundation of the Company’s long-term plans for the commercialization of physical AI.

The Singapore lab will complement the Johor, Malaysia AI training and data collection facility YY Group announced in April. Both facilities will capture structured, real-world human activity data – drawing on the Company’s network of over 500,000 workers across hospitality, food and beverage, facility maintenance, security and other service roles – and use that data to train and refine service robots for deployment alongside human workers in live service environments. The Singapore lab, which will operate on NVIDIA accelerated computing technology, will also serve as an exhibition space for client demonstrations.

To augment its training data capture and transition these robotic capabilities from the lab to the market, the Company is partnering with a prominent shopping mall and luxury hotel in Singapore to pilot humanoid robot deployments in real-world service settings. They will work side-by-side with human professionals, allowing the Company to gather operational data and physical-interaction telemetry to further refine robots’ spatial awareness and task performance while also increasing human teams’ efficiency.

Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer of YY Group, commented: “Our Human-Robot Co-Working framework is built on a simple principle: robots handle repetitive and physically demanding tasks while human workers focus on higher-value service. With the Johor facility, Singapore lab and pilot deployments underway, we are not just training robots; we are building a collaborative ecosystem where human expertise and robotic precision benefit one another. We are turning a unique data advantage – a network of more than 500,000 workers across 12 countries – into a new generation of AI-enhanced workforce solutions that can be replicated at scale, tapping into higher-margin revenue opportunities while creating value for human workers and operators alike.”

The Company’s AI training data and automation initiatives advance the Agentic and Robotic Automation module of the four-module AI framework the Company outlined in its May 11, 2026 Strategic Update, positioning YY Group to serve clients with hybrid workforce models that combine human talent and automation to address chronic labor shortages, and to supply structured real-world datasets to technology companies developing robotics and AI systems. Consistent with the disciplined capital approach reaffirmed in the Strategic Update, these initiatives are supported by the Company’s existing resources and do not alter its FY2026 revenue guidance of US$103 million to US$110 million or its path to profitability.
