ORLANDO, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American:UMAC), a provider of NDAA-compliant drone components, today announced that CEO Allan Evans has issued a letter to shareholders providing an update on the company’s investment strategy and recent developments.

Dear Shareholders, I hope this letter finds you well as we approach the end of summer. As Unusual Machines continues to make progress and grow as a company, I feel it’s important to keep you up to date on our corporate investment strategy. While we will maintain cash reserves to maintain smooth operations, we plan on making several strategic investments as we pursue a U.S. drone treasury strategy.

For background, we are a domestic manufacturer of drone components. We strive to supply as many different drone companies as we can. This provides broad reach and has allowed investors in Unusual Machines to invest in our stock as a way to effectively invest in the U.S. drone industry as a whole. While we can invest up to 40% of our assets, exclusive of cash and government securities, our goal is to limit our investments well below that legal limit. As a management team, we thought it would be most appropriate if we extended that individual Unusual Machines investment thesis to our corporate investments. This will align our strategy to that of our shareholders and broaden exposure to an even greater portion of the industry.

Investment Approach

We have to be discerning in how we approach these investments. We have three criteria we look at on a case-by-case basis to determine if any opportunity (public or private) fits in our potential portfolio.

1. Does it make for a good financial investment?

2. Does it accelerate the emergence of an American drone ecosystem?

3. Are there synergies with current Unusual Machines operations?

We are only interested in an investment if the answer is yes to all three of our criteria. We believe that we have a responsibility to our shareholders to work toward better financial returns from this drone treasury strategy than we could by investing in treasuries or bonds. Using these investments to accelerate the American drone ecosystem allows us to help build a bigger future market faster and has the secondary benefit of accelerating the expansion of our TAM (total addressable market). Finally, we view synergies with our current operations as another factor that allows us to amplify the gains we see from our investments.

Our First Investment

On August 22^nd, we closed the first of our drone treasury investments. We participated in an $8M PIPE along with another strategic investor (Ondas Holdings) in Safe Pro Group (SPAI). This investment can be used as an example to understand how we approach our three criteria.

1. We feel confident in our diligence and expect this investment to generate a positive financial outcome. We believe the company is at an inflection point where their technology is mature and about to be effectively productized. We feel like our investment was at a good valuation and reduced concerns about their capitalization to allow them to go execute effectively while removing the risk of dilution in the short term.

2. We believe that this investment will accelerate the development of their AI software and their edge computing capabilities. Their technology to detect landmines is crucial for the Department of Defense and will be vital after the current conflict in Ukraine ends, as major agricultural zones are currently unusable until they are demined.

3. Given the work Safe Pro has done in Ukraine, this creates opportunities for Unusual Machines to get wider exposure to customers and also ensure that the cameras we provide are part of the algorithms that can be used by other drones as part of the demining process.

The process for this first investment has given us the confidence to proceed with rolling out this strategy and exploring other opportunities on an ongoing basis. We believe we are at the start of a multi-year drone supercycle that will be driven by legislation and expanding defense budgets that could make this drone treasury strategy very successful.

We believe that it is important for us to use the resources we have to pursue this strategy so that our shareholders continue to get the investment exposure they seek from Unusual Machines while we maximize the operational and financial returns we achieve with our balance sheet.

I want to thank you all again for your support, and I will continue to provide transparency in how we operate as we continue to grow. As part of that transparency, we expect to provide updates on this strategy as part of our quarterly investor communications.

Regards,

Allan Evans
CEO, Unusual Machines, Inc.

Sustained acoustic medicine technology from ZetrOZ Systems will help Patrick Murphy manage soreness and accelerate muscle recovery during his 2,900-mile journey.

TRUMBULL, CT / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / A lifelong bicyclist, Patrick Murphy has always wanted to bike across the United States. Now, at age 55, he has decided to chase that dream while also raising money for charity. When Murphy begins his 2,900-mile quest on September 10, he will rely on ZetrOZ Systems‘ sam® wearable ultrasound device to help avoid injury during the 28-day trek.

“Biking across America has been a lifelong dream, and now the time is right to make it happen,” said Murphy. He is raising money for Marion Medical Mission, which provides clean water in rural Africa, and for Kids’ Chance of Michigan, which supports children who have lost a parent in a workplace accident.

Murphy plans to depart from San Diego on September 10, and finish at Tybee Island, Georgia on October 7 – an average of more than 100 miles a day for 28 straight days.

He’s no stranger to long rides, averaging 5,000 miles a year for the last 15 years and completing many races and distance events in his home state of Michigan. To prepare for the cross-country ride, he has been bicycling more than 300 miles per week for months, with the sam® device from ZetrOZ Systems providing invaluable support.

“I’ve been using sam® during training, specifically for my knees, hands, IT bands, and rhomboids,” he said. “It’s been a game-changer, helping me manage soreness, and has given me confidence I’ll be ready for this cross-country ride.”

“It’s inspiring to see Patrick to take on this incredible challenge and support these worthy causes,” said George K. Lewis, president and CEO of ZetrOZ Systems and he inventor of sustained acoustic medicine. “It is immensely gratifying to see know that our sam® device will be supporting him and keeping him strong as he makes his way across America.”

To complete the ride, Murphy not only has to cover an average of 105 miles a day, but also climb an average of 3,700 feet a day – including five days of about 7,000 feet or more. Cyclists know that climbing is the most punishing part of long-distance rides, and Murphy sees sam® as his ally on the journey.

“I hope to use sam® to stay strong, recover efficiently, and prevent injuries during the ride. With the high mileage and daily physical demands, it will help me manage soreness, monitor key areas, and ensure I finish safely and healthy,” he said.

The sam® unit provides continuous, long-duration ultrasound directly to the site of pain or injury in soft tissue, which decreases inflammation while increasing blood vessel diameters to improve blood flow. That augments oxygenated hemoglobin at the site and removes cytokine enzymes and cellular waste, accelerating healing and reducing pain.

The effectiveness of sustained acoustic medicine and the sam® device is validated by more than 30 clinical studies and more than 3.7 million treatments of patients to date.

Murphy looks forward to completing the ride safely and in good health, and offers this guidance to anyone dealing with pain or injury: “Listen to your body, be patient with your recovery, and don’t be afraid to ask for help or use tools that support healing. Pain and injury are part of the journey, but with persistence, proper care, and smart training, you can keep moving toward your goals.”

Murphy will post daily updates on his progress at patrickpedals.com. For more information about ZetrOZ Systems and the sam® wearable ultrasound device, please visit www.zetroz.com or samrecover.com.

About ZetrOZ Systems
ZetrOZ Systems is leading healing innovations in sports medicine, developing wearable bioelectronic devices to deliver sustained acoustic medicine (sam®). Researched and funded by the federal government, ZetrOZ is built on the proprietary medical technology of 48 patents and is the exclusive manufacturer and developer of the sam® product line, designed to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.

Already trusted in high-stakes felony trials, Matey AI is helping defense teams uncover critical facts once buried in data. By rapidly surfacing overlooked connections and previously unknown evidence, Matey empowers attorneys to build stronger cases – leading to fairer outcomes for defendants and a more just system. In minutes, it reveals what once took weeks, transforming massive digital discovery into meaningful insight no human could achieve alone.

AUSTIN, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Matey, the company bringing precision AI to criminal defense, announced today it has raised $7.5M in seed funding to accelerate its mission of delivering real-world legal AI, built for case strategy, not flashy demos.

The platform doesn’t generate hallucinated case law or guess at facts; it reads, indexes, and reasons through actual case materials, all with audit trails and full explainability.

“We’ve enabled legal professionals to spend their time taking action based on their experience and expertise, not drudgery.“
– Jason Whitson, COO of Matey

• $40,000+ in cost savings per case, by eliminating unnecessary data hosting fees and reducing case setup time.

• 3x faster trial prep, through instant timelines, transcript generation, and document summarization.

• 30-minute onboarding, with most users fully operational the same day they’re invited.

“Matey let us process nearly 1 million documents, generate a full timeline, and uncover new witnesses – all in under a day. No other tool could do that.”
– Senior Investigator, Corporate Legal Team

“This has saved us $40,000+ on just one case. It’s letting us increase our case volume without sacrificing quality. That’s a win for our clients and our mission.”
– Deputy Director, Public Defender Office

What the Funding Supports

The seed round will support the expansion of Matey’s product suite, hiring across engineering and go-to-market teams, and deepening relationships with criminal defense organizations, public defenders, and law firms nationwide. Matey also plans to scale partnerships with universities and bar associations to ensure equitable access to its platform for under-resourced defenders.

About Matey

Matey, based in Austin, TX, builds secure, AI-powered legal tools designed for criminal defense. Its flagship product, CrimD, ingests and organizes case discovery, transcribes digital media, analyzes facts, and generates trial-ready outputs, all while meeting the legal industry’s highest standards for confidentiality, traceability, and accuracy.

Industry experts warn that payroll mistakes are becoming a leading cause of tax penalties for small business owners in 2025.

IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / A growing number of small business owners are facing costly penalties from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) due to payroll errors, according to recent industry data. With changing regulations, new digital filing requirements, and heightened IRS enforcement, experts say payroll missteps are more than just bookkeeping blunders – they can become expensive liabilities.

“Payroll isn’t just about paying employees on time – it’s about paying the right taxes, to the right agencies, at the right time,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax, a national tax relief and resolution firm. “We’re seeing an uptick in IRS penalties for businesses that underreport, misclassify employees, or miss deposit deadlines, and the financial fallout can be devastating.”

Common mistakes include misclassifying workers as independent contractors instead of employees, failing to deposit withheld taxes promptly, and overlooking quarterly filing requirements. These errors can lead to penalties, interest charges, and in some cases, IRS liens or levies.

Clear Start Tax warns that the IRS has increased its use of automated systems to flag payroll inconsistencies.

“Business owners need to understand that payroll taxes are one of the IRS’s top collection priorities,” the spokesperson added. “Once a payroll issue is identified, the clock starts ticking, and penalties can snowball quickly.”

To help business owners stay compliant, Clear Start Tax recommends:

• Double-checking worker classification to ensure IRS guidelines are met.

• Scheduling automated tax deposits to avoid missed deadlines.

• Reconciling payroll reports with tax filings each quarter.

• Consulting a tax professional before making major payroll changes.

By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

“Proactive compliance is the best defense,” said the spokesperson. “A small oversight today can turn into a major problem six months from now. The businesses that survive and thrive are the ones that get ahead of these issues before the IRS gets involved.”

About Clear Start Tax
Clear Start Tax is a nationwide tax resolution and relief firm specializing in helping individuals and businesses address IRS and state tax issues. With a team of experienced tax professionals, the company provides tailored strategies for resolving back taxes, negotiating settlements, and achieving long-term compliance.

TAMPA, FL / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Wellgistics Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:WGRX) (“Wellgistics Health” or the “Company”), a leader in next-generation pharmaceutical distribution, digital prescription routing, and AI-powered hub fulfillment, today announced the introduction of HubRx AI – a fully customizable AI engine built to streamline prescription hub services, reduce costs, and improve patient outcomes.

The WGRX Full-Stack Ecosystem: Digital + Physical Rails

Wellgistics Health combines advanced AI with a nationwide supply chain and distribution fulfillment network – all built and run in-house, not outsourced.

Technology (Digital Script Flow with AI Intelligence):

• Einstein Rx AI – AI engine for clinical decision support and safety optimization.

• Wellgistics Hub (formerly DelivMeds) – Digital routing infrastructure ensuring prescriptions move seamlessly from any source to any patient.

• HubRx AI – AI-powered hub services engine automating benefit verification, authorizations, and patient adherence workflows.

Physical Infrastructure:

• Distribution Network – Provides the physical rails that move medications reliably from manufacturer to patient.

• Community Pharmacies – A trusted network of 6,500+ independent pharmacies across all 50 states, ensuring scale and local access for patients in need of insurance-covered medications.

• In-House Pharmacy – Cash-pay and telemedicine fulfillment for direct-to-consumer solutions.

Executive Commentary

“Unlike traditional PBMs or siloed tech platforms, Wellgistics Health owns the full stack,” said Dr. Shafaat Pirani, Chief Clinical Officer of Wellgistics Health. “Einstein Rx AI ensures the right clinical decision, HubRx AI optimizes the digital flow, and Wellgistics Hub intelligently routes prescriptions. Together, with our national distribution network and pharmacy infrastructure, we ensure medications reach patients faster, smarter, and more affordably.”

“Wellgistics continues to forge ahead as a forward thinker,” said Brian Norton, Chief Executive Officer of Wellgistics Health. “We ask the hard questions about why healthcare is so slow and expensive, and we’re determined to change that. By building a vertically integrated ecosystem, we eliminate costly third parties, reduce friction and delays, and ensure the patient drug journey is more secure and controlled. We see a healthcare system in transition – one where the old ways of doing business are fading, and end-to-end AI-driven solutions will define the future. That’s the future Wellgistics is building toward.”

Wellgistics Health plans to begin implementation and onboarding for HubRx AI in Q4 2025, with full rollout and scaled operations expected in early 2026.

Market Need & Opportunity

The U.S. prescription drug market now exceeds $800 billion annually¹, with employers spending more than $315 billion on pharmacy benefits². Yet inefficiencies, claim denials, and opaque PBM practices contribute to more than $30 billion in avoidable waste each year³.

At the same time, the global pharma hub services market – encompassing platforms that support patient onboarding, benefits verification, prior authorization, adherence, and case management – is projected to reach $5.7 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 9.9%⁴.

By embedding AI into every step of the prescription journey, Wellgistics Health is positioning HubRx AI to meet this demand, helping independent pharmacies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and payors deliver:

• Faster access for patients

• Lower costs for employers and payors

• Stronger margins for pharmacies

About Wellgistics Health

Wellgistics Health delivers medications from manufacturer to patient – faster, smarter, and more affordably. Its integrated platform connects more than 6,500 independent pharmacies and 200 U.S. manufacturers, offering wholesale distribution, digital prescription routing, and AI-driven hub services such as eligibility, adherence, onboarding, prior authorization, and cash-pay fulfillment. As a PBM-agnostic alternative, Wellgistics Health provides compliant, end-to-end solutions designed to restore access, transparency, and trust in U.S. healthcare.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / The ambition on display at the UN plastics negotiations deserves recognition. More than 150 nations, each with its own economic and cultural pressures, came together with one intent: to solve one of the world’s most urgent challenges. That in itself is a triumph. The passion, the urgency, and the willingness to engage across divides show just how seriously the global community takes plastics’ circularity. It was an all-in effort, and it must be praised.

Even the most ambitious talks can stall when unanimity is required. But that doesn’t diminish the intent-it only highlights the scale of the challenge. The drive, the energy, and the shared resolve are already in place. What the world needs now is not less ambition, but a bridge-something that can carry this extraordinary momentum into measurable action across every border, every sector, and every supply chain. And here’s the great news: that bridge already exists.

And check this out because it’s certainly inspiring: Of all nations, Singapore is rising most visibly to the challenge. Today, it incinerates nearly 94% of its plastic waste – a daunting statistic by any measure. But instead of creating more burn piles, Singapore has chosen to confront the issue head-on. Rather than running from the challenge, it is setting an example for the world by proving how ambition, technology, and collaboration can turn even the toughest starting point into a model for transformation.

SMX’s Technological Toolbox Is A Global Value Driver

That’s where SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) has become indispensable. By providing a technological molecular-level toolbox, SMX ensures that every piece of plastic can carry its own identity, proving origin, recycled content, and compliance with certainty. What once lived in the gray space between marketing claims and regulatory filings is now hard-coded into the supply chain itself.

This goes far beyond recycling rates. It’s about material efficiency – extracting maximum life, value, and performance from every raw input. That’s what SMX delivers, right when the world needs it most. With resources under strain and consumers demanding verifiable transparency, efficiency at the molecular level is not just smart economics – it’s a massive market opportunity.

And it’s exactly the kind of opportunity global agreements have struggled to capture. The setbacks at the UN show why nations and industries must look elsewhere for momentum. A treaty cannot police every container ship or recycling center. What policy can’t enforce, technology must. Supply chain integrity – the assurance that materials are what they claim to be, where they claim to be, and in the volumes they claim to be – has become the backbone of global trade. And SMX is the only company known to provide that de facto standard, embedding verification at the molecular level, inside the product itself.

Singapore and ASEAN Pride Is Driving Global Change

In this sense, ASEAN’s leadership is more than regional pride. It is setting the standard for a world desperate for proof. Partnerships like SMX’s collaboration with Singapore’s Bio-Packaging, Aegis, and Sky-Pac are case studies in how to turn abstract goals into measurable value. In its work with Bio-Packaging, by SMX fusing molecular markers with extrusion lines, every bag, film, or wrapper is not only sustainable – it is certified. That same level of proof and validation extends to Aegis and Sky-Pac as well. And the endpoint: Regulators get confidence, brands get protection, and consumers get trust.

It’s worth praising all players in this space: regulators who set ambitious targets, NGOs who keep pressure high, and private companies willing to invest in bold solutions. Each role is vital, and together they create a coalition of progress that transcends politics.

What makes this story even more compelling is that it is not a closed loop. The lessons being proven are portable and scalable. The addressable market across Singapore and ASEAN is measured in billions, with certified recycled plastics and platform fees creating entirely new revenue streams. More importantly, through SMX’s Plastic Cycle Token (PCT), these systems create a “compliance dividend” that can reach tens and even hundreds of millions, reduced incineration costs, enhanced recycling margins, and verifiable sustainability credits that can be traded across industries.

Investors and governments alike should take note. This is no longer about pledges or pilots – it is about performance. The rally is already underway, and the proof is measurable. And it’s time that the world pays absolute attention to how these countries and regions, with SMX, are changing the world of supply chain circularity.

SMS Provides The Enforcement Layer That Only Speaks The Truth

If the UN’s challenge is consensus, ASEAN’s contribution is clarity. By embracing technology as the enforcement layer, nations can bypass the stalemate of politics and move directly into results. SMX’s technological molecular-level toolbox has become the scaffolding on which circularity is being built: a platform where waste becomes value, compliance becomes tradeable, and sustainability becomes profitable.

The global economy cannot afford another decade of frustrating rhetoric. It needs results, and those results are happening right now and in real time. ASEAN is writing the playbook. Singapore is proving the model. And SMX is delivering the proof – measurable, verifiable, unshakable.

When history looks back at the turning point for plastics circularity, it may not point to speeches in Geneva. It may point instead to a rally that began in Singapore, where ambition met technology, and technology delivered proof. That proof now carries a name: SMX. And with it comes the possibility – not just to change supply chains, but to change the world.

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.

Unified ingest strategy spans live, camera card, and file-based workflows with hybrid-cloud scalability and system-aware metadata: See it in action at IBC2025

NEVADA CITY, CA / ACCESS Newswire / August 27, 2025 / Telestream, a global leader in media workflow technologies, will debut its new Global Ingest strategy at IBC2025, introducing a next-generation ingest architecture that seamlessly unifies live capture, camera card ingest, and file-based workflows. Built on the proven Vantage platform, the new workflow capabilities are designed for ultimate flexibility, scalability, and efficiency, supporting on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments. Central to the strategy is Telestream’s practical use of AI. Rather than generating unstructured “metadata dumps,” Telestream Global Ingest produces structured, system-aware, and standards-compliant metadata at the point of capture. This enables instant interoperability with a wide range of platforms, such as Avid, Iconik, and Mimir, accelerating editorial, archive discovery and distribution while eliminating workflow bottlenecks.

“With Global Ingest, we’re transforming a fragmented technical hurdle into a unified entry point for high-speed production and operational efficiency,” said Charlie Dunn, EVP of Product Management at Telestream. “By standardizing ingest on the Vantage platform, we eliminate the need for proprietary vendors and rigid integrations, enabling customers to move content from any source into any editorial or MAM system with speed and precision. We are making ingest a strategic advantage rather than a workflow gap.“

A Unified, Intelligent Ingest Platform

Telestream’s scalable ingest capabilities empower technical teams with precision, flexibility, and speed, no matter the format, source, or operational environment (on-prem, hybrid, or cloud). It supports a wide range of media operations, from high-performance, real-time ingest for live sports and news, to scalable file-based ingest for post-production and media supply chains.

Highlights include:

• Vantage Live Capture – A high-performance ingest engine with unmatched input/output flexibility. Supporting ST 2110, SDI, SRT, NDI, MPEG-TS, and RTMP, it enables centralized ingest from IP, SDI, and even tape-based sources. With support for up to 16 channels in a single RU and deep codec support, Live Capture seamlessly integrates into editorial and MAM systems such as Avid and Adobe.

• Live Schedule PRO 2.0 – A high-availability, enterprise-ready scheduling platform with clustered deployment, automation, and failover capabilities. Designed for continuous operation, it’s ideal for live newsrooms, sports broadcasters, and 24/7 ingest environments.

• Camera Card Ingest – Telestream’s camera card ingest solution delivers a streamlined user experience with enhanced metadata extraction, multi-destination workflows, and tight Vantage integration. It accelerates turnaround times for editors and supports modern content production at scale.

• Review: Proxyless Player for Distributed Teams – A professional-grade playback experience for live and captured media, with real-time 10-bit native playback, scopes, and audio monitoring. Review will support remote editorial collaboration without the need for proxy generation.
