Eligible ‌European investors will now be able to trade perpetual futures tied to commodities, ETFs and foreign exchange markets, including gold, silver, crude oil ​and the euro-dollar pair, with leverage of up ​to 10 times and round-the-clock trading, the company said.

Perpetual ⁠futures, commonly known as "perps," are futures contracts with no ​expiration date and have drawn significant attention in the U.S. ​after the CFTC in May permitted their trading on domestic exchanges.

Separately, Robinhood said it plans to roll out crypto trading for the UK as ​it seeks to build an all-in-one investing platform for the ​region.

The company also launched Robinhood Earn, a lending product that allows eligible U.S. ‌users ⁠to lend their dollar-backed stablecoin, USDG, through a self-custody wallet at an estimated 7% annualized return.

Robinhood Earn includes insurance for certain losses stemming from cyberattacks or smart-contract exploits, with ​the coverage arranged ​through Lloyd's ⁠of London and RELM.

The company also announced its entry into Canada following its acquisition of WonderFi ​and said it had received a capital markets ​services ⁠licence in Singapore.

The trading platform, which serves more than 28 million customers across 38 countries, has expanded into more financial services ⁠in ​recent years to reduce its reliance ​on trading activity.

The company posted weaker-than-expected transaction revenue for the first quarter amid crypto-driven ​volatility.

Robinhood HOOD shares surged 8% on Wednesday after the online brokerage unveiled a series of new products and international expansion initiatives aimed at broadening its presence in cryptocurrency trading and global financial services.

The announcements, made during a live event in London, included new AI-powered cryptocurrency trading capabilities for US customers, expanded perpetual futures trading in Europe, and progress toward entering new markets including Canada, Singapore, and the United Kingdom.

Johann Kerbrat, general manager of crypto and international at Robinhood, said the initiatives are designed to bring more investment products to customers outside the United States.

"We want to extend this vision to the rest of the world," Kerbrat tells Barron's.

In the United States, Robinhood introduced agentic cryptocurrency trading at no additional cost.

The new feature allows customers to connect their own AI agents to Robinhood so those agents can execute cryptocurrency trades on their behalf.

The launch builds on the company's rollout of agentic trading for stocks and options introduced last month.

Robinhood also announced Robinhood Earn for eligible US customers, a lending service that enables users to lend the US dollar-pegged stablecoin USDG through a self-custody wallet.

The company said the lending infrastructure is powered by the decentralized lending network Morpho.

The brokerage also expanded its blockchain strategy by launching the main network for Robinhood Chain, which is designed to support real-world assets.

Additionally, Robinhood introduced tokenized stocks that eligible customers can trade around the clock on Robinhood Chain.

The company noted that stock tokens are not available in the United States or to US customers.

Robinhood continued its international expansion with several announcements focused on Europe and Asia.

In the European Union, the company expanded its range of perpetual futures contracts, allowing eligible customers to trade contracts linked to commodities, selected currencies, and exchange-traded funds, including gold, silver, and Invesco's Nasdaq-100 tracking QQQ ETF.

Unlike traditional futures contracts, perpetual futures do not expire, allowing investors to maintain positions for longer periods.

Robinhood also announced that it had received a capital markets services licence in Singapore, bringing it closer to launching brokerage services in the country.

In Canada, the company is expanding its cryptocurrency offering following its acquisition of digital asset platform WonderFi. Robinhood said Canadian customers will receive zero crypto trading fees through Sept. 30.

The company also revealed plans to launch cryptocurrency services in the United Kingdom.

"We're very excited about that because only brokerage products have been available up until today," Kerbrat said.

Analysts remain optimistic on growthRobinhood's latest product launches add to a broader strategy of expanding beyond its traditional brokerage business.

According to a Zacks report, the company was the top-performing finance stock during the second quarter of 2026, supported by stronger retail trading activity and continued growth across equities, options, cryptocurrencies, and prediction markets.

The report also highlighted Robinhood's efforts to diversify its business through AI-powered trading, wealth management, prediction markets, and payment products, creating additional opportunities for revenue growth.

Analyst sentiment remains positive.

According to Zacks, consensus earnings estimates for 2026 and 2027 have increased to $1.81 and $2.45 per share, respectively.

While earnings are expected to decline 11.7% this year, forecasts call for growth of 35.2% in 2027.

TipRanks data also reflects a favorable outlook, with 16 of 19 analysts rating Robinhood shares a Buy, while the remaining three recommend Hold, underscoring continued confidence in the company's long-term expansion strategy.

Most major EU crypto platforms have begun restricting access to users due to the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations. However, GMX, a decentralized perpetual exchange, announced that its smart contracts remain open to all users, including those in the EU. This divergence underscores the regulatory impact of MiCA, which mandates that centralized platforms comply with stringent authorization and operational requirements, while decentralized protocols like GMX are less affected due to their lack of a centralized operator. The new rules, effective July 1, 2026, conclude an 18-month transition period for EU-based Crypto-Asset Service Providers (CASPs) to comply or cease operations.

Key Takeaways Market activity suggests a possible decrease in Bitcoin’s future price expectations, with implications that regulatory pressures like MiCA could hinder market growth. GMX’s ability to operate outside MiCA’s scope could provide it an advantage over centralized platforms now facing stricter compliance requirements. The adjustment in Bitcoin market pricing appears consistent with participants viewing regulatory developments as a constraint on the cryptocurrency reaching higher price targets. What to Watch The EU’s MiCA regulations have introduced significant changes for crypto platforms, with centralized exchanges facing new compliance hurdles. Observers should monitor how these developments affect user behavior and market dynamics, particularly if decentralized platforms like GMX attract users from centralized exchanges. Additionally, the response from key market actors and potential regulatory adjustments will be crucial in determining the future landscape for crypto assets in the EU.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX) today announced the initiation of its Phase 2 clinical study to assess the safety and tolerability of crinecerfont in children aged 3 months to under 4 years with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Crinecerfont, marketed as CRENESSITY®, is approved in the United States as an adjunctive treatment to glucocorticoid replacement to control androgens in adult and pediatric patients 4 years of age and older with classic CAH.

"Infants and young children with classic CAH face significant health challenges and are often exposed to high doses of glucocorticoids during critical periods of growth and development," said Sanjay Keswani, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, Neurocrine Biosciences. "The initiation of this Phase 2 study reflects our commitment to evaluating crinecerfont as a potential treatment option that could reduce the need for long-term supraphysiologic glucocorticoid use and help mitigate the associated risks in this vulnerable, very young population."

CAH is typically identified at or shortly after birth and can lead to life-threatening adrenal crises due to the underlying adrenal insufficiency, as well as androgen excess and consistent dosing of supraphysiologic glucocorticoids – complications for which there are no approved therapies in children under 4 years of age. Neurocrine is conducting this pediatric study under an FDA Pediatric Written Request.

The Phase 2 open-label, single-arm study consists of a 24-week treatment period with a primary objective of assessing the safety and tolerability of crinecerfont in 20 participants aged 3 months to under 4 years with classic CAH. Secondary objectives include evaluation of the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic effects of crinecerfont on hormone biomarkers. This study is expected to support a planned supplemental New Drug Application to expand the approved U.S. indication to include patients less than 4 years of age. Additional information about the trial, including eligibility criteria, can be found at ClinicalTrials.gov.

Separately, Neurocrine achieved target enrollment for a Phase 2 study in the European Union to evaluate the safety and tolerability of crinecerfont in children from birth to under 2 years of age with classic CAH. For more information, visit ClinicalTrials.gov.

Crinecerfont was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2024, marking the first therapeutic advancement in more than 70 years for patients with classic CAH. It is a potent and selective oral corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1) antagonist that reduces elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) secretion at the source and the resulting downstream excess adrenal androgens through a non-GC mechanism.

About Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a rare genetic condition that results in an enzyme deficiency that alters the production of adrenal steroid hormones, such as cortisol, aldosterone and adrenal androgens. Severe enzyme deficiency leads to an inability of the adrenal glands to produce enough cortisol and, in approximately 75% of cases, aldosterone. Because individuals with CAH are typically still able to produce androgens, the unused precursors that would normally be used to make cortisol instead result in the production of excess amounts of androgens. If left untreated, CAH can result in adrenal crisis and even death.

Exogenous glucocorticoids (GCs) are necessary to correct the endogenous cortisol deficiency, but historically, doses higher than those needed for cortisol replacement (supraphysiologic) have been used to lower the elevated levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens. However, GC treatment at supraphysiologic doses has been associated with serious and significant complications of steroid excess, including metabolic issues such as weight gain and diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Additionally, long-term treatment with supraphysiologic GCs may have psychological and cognitive impacts, such as changes in mood and memory. Adrenal androgen excess has been associated with abnormal bone growth and development in pediatric patients, female health problems such as excess facial hair growth and menstrual irregularities, in addition to cardiometabolic and fertility issues in both sexes. The symptoms of high ACTH may include testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs).

About CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont)
CRENESSITY is a potent and selective oral corticotropin-releasing factor type 1 receptor (CRF1) antagonist that reduces and controls excess adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adrenal androgens through a non-glucocorticoid (GC) mechanism for the treatment of classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). Antagonism of CRF1 receptors in the pituitary has been shown to decrease ACTH levels, which in turn decreases the production of adrenal androgens and potentially the symptoms associated with CAH. The robust clinical study data demonstrate that lowering adrenal androgen levels with CRENESSITY enables lower, more physiologic dosing of GCs to replace missing cortisol.

CRENESSITY comes in capsules and an oral solution. For adults 18 years of age and older, the recommended dosage is 100 mg twice daily taken orally with a meal. For pediatric patients 4 to 17 years of age weighing less than 55 kg (121 lbs), the recommended dosage is based on body weight and is administered twice daily, taken orally with a meal. For pediatric patients weighing more than 55 kg (121 lbs), the recommended dosage is 100 mg twice daily taken orally with a meal. Healthcare providers can work with patients to determine the appropriate formulation for use depending on patient needs. Patients receiving CRENESSITY should continue GC therapy for cortisol replacement.

Important Information

Approved Uses
CRENESSITY® (crinecerfont) is a prescription medicine used together with glucocorticoids (steroids) to control androgen (testosterone-like hormone) levels in adults and children 4 years of age and older with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH).

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Do not take CRENESSITY if you:

Are allergic to crinecerfont, or any of the ingredients in CRENESSITY.

CRENESSITY may cause serious side effects, including:

Risk of Sudden Adrenal Insufficiency or Adrenal Crisis with Too Little Glucocorticoid (Steroid) Medicine. Sudden adrenal insufficiency or adrenal crisis can happen in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia who are not taking enough glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine. You should continue taking your glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine during treatment with CRENESSITY. Certain conditions such as infection, severe injury, or shock may increase your risk for sudden adrenal insufficiency or adrenal crisis. Tell your healthcare provider if you get a severe injury, infection, illness, or have planned surgery during treatment. Your healthcare provider may need to change your dose of glucocorticoid (steroid) medicine.

Before taking CRENESSITY, tell your healthcare provider about all of your medical conditions, including if you: are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.

Multi-Asset Trading Terminals The integration of traditional equities into crypto venues represents a fundamental paradigm shift in global trading infrastructure. Rather than managing fragmented positions across siloed traditional brokerages and crypto exchanges, modern cross-asset market participants increasingly demand a singular, frictionless point of access. 

This structural convergence between crypto and traditional capital markets is punctuated by the exponential growth of equity derivatives on CEXs. Weekly trading volumes surged to a record high of $11.6 billion during the second week of June 2026, a milestone driven by Binance’s sweeping expansion into stock trading against the backdrop of SpaceX’s Nasdaq listing, the largest IPO in history.

By merging multi-asset capabilities into a single interface, crypto platforms solve critical operational pain points for cross-asset traders:

Unified Interface: Consolidates crypto assets and traditional equities under a single application, eliminating the operational friction of managing multiple apps and accounts. Frictionless Diversification: Enables instant capital reallocation between crypto assets and equities without navigating slow, costly traditional fiat rails and banking bottlenecks. 24/7 Collateral Utilization: Overcomes the rigid constraints of traditional market hours by maintaining equity exposure within a crypto-native framework. This unlocks around-the-clock portfolio visibility and allows assets to be utilized as active, cross-margined collateral. Emerging metrics indicate that benchmark indices, AI- and crypto-related stocks, and oil derivatives command the highest demand among crypto-native user cohorts, directly reflecting the risk-seeking profiles and tolerance for volatility prevalent among crypto-native market participants.

Execution Methodologies To deliver equity access to crypto users, crypto platforms generally deploy three distinct approaches:

Traditional Offchain Routing: Existing brokerage infrastructure integrated directly into the crypto user interface via APIs. This model connects users straight to incumbent underlying liquidity pools while operating entirely within established clearing frameworks. Tokenized Onchain Equities: Real-world assets (RWAs) issued as asset-backed tokens on public blockchains. This framework enables native composability with DeFi ecosystems and instant, 24/7 blockchain-based settlement. Synthetic Equity Derivatives: Perpetual futures contracts that track underlying stock prices via crypto-native order books and dynamic funding payments. This approach provides capital-efficient, high-leverage synthetic exposure while bypassing traditional clearinghouse infrastructure. Top-tier crypto venues are aggressively capturing market share from existing brokerages by deploying these models through varying operational frameworks:

Binance: Leads the multi-asset charge via a comprehensive three-pronged execution architecture. It provides a) direct equity exposure through an API-routed traditional stock and ETF brokerage service, b) tokenized onchain securities via its native bStocks initiative on the BNB Chain, and c) synthetic exposure through stock perpetual futures contracts to users in eligible jurisdictions. Coinbase: Follows Binance’s footsteps by offering a) stock and ETF trading for US residents, b) immediate plans to launch onchain tokenized equities, and c) stock perpetual futures contracts for non-US traders. Hyperliquid: Leverages permissionless onchain order books to offer high-leverage equity perpetual futures contracts.  The business case for integrating equities into a crypto platform rests on expanding monetization vectors and optimizing capital efficiency. Crypto platforms can monetize equity trading through a blend of traditional and crypto-native models:

Transaction Fee: Applying maker/taker fee schedules directly to equity trades executed within the interface. Spread-based Revenue: Monetizing the delta between the buy and sell prices. Asset Management Fee: Charging a management or minting/burning fee for tokenized equity vehicles wrapped directly onchain. The true economic unlock of this convergence lies in cross-collateralization. By allowing users to lock in equities as collateral, platforms enable them to margin trade across a wide array of futures markets, from crypto to equities to commodity derivatives. This dramatically increases capital efficiency, as an investor's equity portfolio no longer sits idle at the traditional market close but actively backs capital strategies and meets margin requirements 24/7.

Binance’s Role in Multi-Asset Trading As the world’s largest crypto exchange by trading volume, Binance occupies a unique position to spearhead the institutionalization of multi-asset trading, a trajectory underscored by the platform’s equity offerings, which rapidly scaled to reach a historic $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) for equities within weeks of launch. 

For Binance, adding access to over 7,000 equities and ETFs goes beyond a basic product line addition; it operates instead as a core capital retention strategy. Crypto markets are cyclical, characterized by intense periods of volatility followed by prolonged consolidation. By offering traditional equities, Binance establishes a structural market-cycle hedge. During crypto bear markets or macro consolidation phases, user capital can remain securely within the Binance ecosystem, rotating seamlessly into traditional equities or commodities rather than exiting the platform entirely.

Binance possesses structural advantages that few traditional or fintech competitors can replicate:

Global Retail User Base: Millions of verified, active users can be sold equity products alongside existing crypto assets with minimal incremental customer acquisition costs. Early adoption has been driven largely by younger demographics in emerging markets, with more than 80% of Binance's stock trading volume coming from these regions. Deep Liquidity Pools: Unrivaled market depth and elevated trading volumes across multiple markets on the platform provide an immediate, frictionless foundation for multi-asset volume generation and competitive spreads. Multi-Rail Asset Funding: A robust global architecture that enables seamless multi-channel inflows, allowing users to instantly fund their multi-asset accounts using local fiat payment rails, stablecoins, or major crypto assets. The ultimate trajectory for leading crypto platforms is the realization of a borderless, comprehensive financial super-app. In this future state, the historical boundaries dividing traditional equities, commodities, fiat currencies, and digital assets are abstracted away behind hyper-optimized, user-friendly interfaces.

With the integration of traditional equities into crypto platforms, users can deploy capital instantly, frictionlessly, and globally into a wide array of asset types, solidifying crypto platforms as the foundational financial terminals of the modern digital economy.

NEW YORK, July 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds sellers of common stock of ChampionX Corporation (NASDAQ: CHX) between February 29, 2024 and April 1, 2024, inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 14, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you sold ChampionX common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the ChampionX class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/championx-corporation/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than July 14, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered billions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period failed to disclose material information, which artificially deflated the price of ChampionX common stock. On February 29, 2024, ChampionX received an unsolicited non-public offer from Schlumberger Limited to purchase all the outstanding shares of ChampionX for $36.70 per share. On March 7, 2024, Schlumberger raised its offer to $37.80 per share. The lawsuit alleges that while these offers were on the table and unknown to the investing public, ChampionX was repurchasing its common stock at market prices significantly below the prices offered by Schlumberger. ChampionX had an obligation to disclose that it had received a formal acquisition offer from Schlumberger or abstain from purchasing ChampionX stock from unsuspecting investors. During the Class Period, ChampionX’s average stock price was $33.32 per share. On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, during pre-market hours, ChampionX disclosed the merger with Schlumberger. The merger eventually closed on July 16, 2025, with Schlumberger acquiring ChampionX for $40.58 per share.

To join the ChampionX class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/cases/championx-corporation/join or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Request supports continued infrastructure investments in water and wastewater systems serving more than 1.7 million people in 30 counties

, /PRNewswire/ -- Missouri American Water today filed a request with the Missouri Public Service Commission (MoPSC) for new rates to support approximately $1.6 billion in water and wastewater system investments from June 2025 through May 2028. The request reinforces the company's commitment to implementing critical system upgrades and continuing to improve water quality and reliability for its more than 1.7 million people served statewide.

"We strategically plan and invest in our water and wastewater systems to help ensure they continue meeting the needs of our customers and communities," said Rich Svindland, President of Missouri American Water. "These investments strengthen service reliability and enhance water quality—from treatment to tap—while reflecting our employees' ongoing commitment to the health and safety of the communities we proudly serve."

The proposed rate change will support the company's continuing infrastructure investments from June 2025 to May 2028 to modernize and strengthen its water and wastewater systems in communities across Missouri. These investments will include the replacement of approximately 140 miles of aging water and wastewater pipeline, upgrading of storage tanks, wells, pumping stations, hydrants, meters and wastewater plants, as well as ongoing replacement of lead service lines and improvements to treatment facilities to address regulatory requirements, including PFAS and other contaminants of emerging concern.

Investments include:

St. Louis County: The relocation and replacement of the South Plant intake at a higher elevation mitigates flood risk, while raw water pump replacements, emergency power generation and replacement of aging pump components improve operating efficiency and reduce service disruptions during extreme weather. Jefferson City: Construction of a new filter and chemical feed building renews critical infrastructure past its useful life and enhances water quality and treatment efficiency. St. Joseph: Water treatment plant expansion including a new clarifier and filters, rehabilitation of treatment units and upgrades to chemical feed system improves service reliability, safety, and efficiency. Joplin: Construction of a new carbon feed system, well site treatment upgrades and filter backwash improvements will increase safety and help maintain consistent water quality and service reliability. Wastewater Treatment Investments: Treatment equipment upgrade, lift station construction and treatment enhancements will improve treatment reliability and efficiency, while helping to meet environmental compliance. If the company's proposed rates are approved as filed with the MoPSC today, the water bill for the average residential customer in St. Louis County using 5,900 gallons per month would increase by approximately $23 per month. The water bill for the average residential customer outside of St. Louis County using 4,500 gallons per month would increase by about $15 per month. The request updates residential wastewater rates to support continued investment with modest increases for lower usage customers and larger adjustments that help align higher-usage and unmetered customers with the cost of service.

Missouri American Water remains committed to affordability and offers programs to assist income-eligible customers, including its H2O Help to Others assistance program, budget billing options and flexible payment plans. More details can be found on the company's customer service webpage.

The rate request is the first step in an extensive MoPSC review process that can take up to 11 months. Customers will have multiple opportunities to provide input, including submitting written comments and attending public input hearings scheduled by the MoPSC. All rate changes require MoPSC approval. If approved, the company's new rates could take effect in June 2027.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Talos Energy Inc. ("Talos") (NYSE: TALO) today announced that Talos Production Inc. (the "Company"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Talos, has priced an offering (the "Offering") of $800 million in aggregate principal amount of new 8.000% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2034 (the "New Notes"). The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to (i) fund a portion of the cash consideration for the Company's recently announced pending Gulf of America acquisition (the "Acquisition"), (ii) fund the redemption (the "Redemption") of all of the outstanding 9.000% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2029 issued by the Company (the "2029 Notes"), and (iii) pay related fees and expenses. The Offering is expected to close on or about July 13, 2026, subject to customary closing conditions.

If the Acquisition is not consummated on or before December 31, 2026, if the Company notifies the trustee of the New Notes that it will not pursue the consummation of the Acquisition, or if the third-party preferential right to purchase certain assets subject to the Acquisition is exercised, then an aggregate of $175 million principal amount of the New Notes will be subject to a "special mandatory redemption" at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the New Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

It is expected that the New Notes will be guaranteed on a senior basis by Talos and certain of the Company's existing and future subsidiaries and will initially be secured on a second-priority basis by substantially the same collateral as the Company's existing first-priority obligations under its senior reserves-based revolving credit facility.

The New Notes are being offered in the United States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and to persons outside the United States only in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The New Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall there be any sale of the New Notes or any other security of the Company, in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute a notice of redemption under the optional redemption provisions of the indenture governing the 2029 Notes.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Peabody Energy's Centurion mine and the multitude of issues causing delays to the ramp-up and the return to full longwall production dates. On March 30, 2026, Peabody Energy issued a press release lowering guidance pertaining to Centurion mine's expected first quarter 2026 output ahead of Peabody Energy's full earnings release. In pertinent part, defendants announced that sales volume from the Centurion mine was expected to deliver approximately 250,000 tons in the first quarter due to mining commissioning challenges (compared to previous estimates of around 700,000 tons). When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition.

Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) AeroVironment understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the U.S. Space Force's Satellite Communication Augmentation Resources ("SCAR") program and the U.S. Space Force's ongoing efforts to modernize the Satellite Control Network ("SCN"); (2) accordingly, defendants overstated AeroVironment's business and financial prospects; and (3) as a result, defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
