Market Signal Briefing

, /PRNewswire/ -- Flex LNG Ltd. ("Flex LNG" or "Company") (NYSE: FLNG) is pleased to announce it has agreed a new Time Charter Agreement ("TC") with a minimum firm period of two (2) years for Flex Aurora. The charterer, a Supermajor, will have the option to extend the contract with additional 2+2+2 years i.e. total contract length is potentially up to eight (8) years. If all options are declared, the vessel will be committed until 2034. The vessel was redelivered from its previous 3.5-years charter in the first half of March 2026, and the vessel has been successful in finding new employment with prompt delivery. Flex Aurora, built 2020, is a modern 174,000 cbm LNG carrier with X-DF two-stroke propulsion.

Following this announcement, Flex LNG's total contract backlog is minimum 55 years, which may increase to 82 years if the charterers exercise their options.

Marius Foss, CEO of Flex LNG Management AS, commented:

"We are pleased to announce a new time charter contract for Flex Aurora, capitalizing on the firm momentum in the freight market. This new minimum two-year firm contract adds further contract backlog, and it may be extended by up to an additional six years at the charterer's option, reflecting continued recognition of our safe and reliable operations.

We believe there are currently favourable dynamics in the LNG shipping spot market, and with the commencement of this minimum two-year contract for Flex Aurora, we will have two vessels trading in what is presently a firm spot market. At the same time, we see that energy markets remain highly volatile, and conditions may change rapidly."

The new contract for Flex Aurora, combined with the Company's remaining spot exposure, is expected to contribute positively to earnings in the second quarter of 2026. Given the continued uncertainty and volatility in the LNG shipping and broader energy markets, the Company is closely monitoring market developments. As a result, the full-year guidance as presented in the Company's fourth quarter 2025 earnings release and related presentation may be subject to revision, and the Company will update the market as appropriate and/or legally required.

Forward-Looking Statements

Matters discussed in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides safe harbor protections for forward-looking statements in order to encourage companies to provide prospective information about their business. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance, and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. The Company desires to take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and is including this cautionary statement in connection with this safe harbor legislation. The words "believe," "expect," "forecast," "anticipate," "aim," "commit," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "possible," "potential," "pending," "target," "project," "likely," "may," "will," "would," "should," "could" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements.

The forward-looking statements in this press release are based upon various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management's examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company's records and other data available from third parties. Although management believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company's control, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve or accomplish these expectations, beliefs or projections. As such, these forward-looking statements are not guarantees of the Company's future performance, and actual results and future developments may vary materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation, and specifically declines any obligation, except as required by applicable law or regulation, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of these factors. Further, the Company cannot assess the effect of each such factor on its business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

In addition to these important factors, other important factors that, in the Company's view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include: unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, the strength of world economies and currencies, inflationary pressures and central bank policies intended to combat overall inflation and rising interest rates and foreign exchange rates, general market conditions, including fluctuations in charter rates and vessel values, changes in demand in the LNG tanker market, the Company's business strategy and expected and unexpected capital spending and operating expenses, including drydocking, surveys, repairs, upgrades, insurance costs and bunker costs, the fuel efficiency of the Company's vessels, the market for the Company's vessels, availability of financing and refinancing, ability to comply with covenants in such financing arrangements, failure of counterparties to fully perform their contracts with the Company, changes in governmental rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, including those that may limit the commercial useful lives of LNG tankers, customers' increasing emphasis on environmental and safety concerns, potential liability from pending or future litigation, global and regional economic and political conditions and developments, armed conflicts, including the war between Russia and Ukraine, and possible cessation of such war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas and related conflicts in the Middle East, the Houthi attack in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, threats by Iran to close the Strait of Hormuz, trade wars, tariffs, embargoes and strikes, the impact of restrictions on trade, including the imposition of new tariffs, port fees and other import restrictions by the United States on its trading partners and the imposition of retaliatory tariffs by China and the European Union on the United States, business disruptions, including supply chain disruption and congestion, due to natural or other disasters or otherwise, potential physical disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, climate-related incidents, public health threats or political events, potential cybersecurity or other privacy threats and data security breaches, vessel breakdowns and instances of offhire, and other factors, including those that may be described from time to time in the reports and other documents that the Company files with or furnishes to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("Other Reports"). For a more complete discussion of certain of these and other risks and uncertainties associated with the Company, please refer to the Other Reports.

Industrial stocks have been leaders so far in 2026. That's great, but has made valuation a new risk for the sector's investors.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 25, 2026) - Inverite Insights Inc. (CSE: INVR) (OTC Pink: INVRF) (FSE: 2V0) ("Inverite"), a Canadian risk infrastructure company specializing in real-time financial data and AI-driven decisioning signals, announces that it has entered into an infrastructure licensing agreement with Weritas Technologies Inc. ("Weritas") to bring its credit infrastructure platform into its first in-market deployment in Kenya.

The deployment represents the first operational activation of Inverite's previously announced Digital Credit Infrastructure (DCI) initiative (see News Release dated October 30, 2025), advancing the Company's strategy into a regulated credit environment. The initiative establishes persistent credit memory systems that convert real-time financial behavior into structured, portable risk intelligence within active lending ecosystems.

Weritas Technologies Inc. builds data-driven and reputation-based credit systems that bridge traditional and emerging digital financial environments. Under the agreement, Weritas plays a central role in activating the Kenya deployment. It aligns capital, data, and in-market relationships to enable Inverite's credit infrastructure to operate within real-world lending environments.

Kenya is the initial deployment market, reflecting its advanced digital financial ecosystem and Weritas' established relationships within the market. This combination enables disciplined entry and execution within a regulated credit environment.

Kenya is widely recognized as one of the most advanced digital financial ecosystems globally, with high levels of mobile money adoption and transaction activity, according to World Bank Global Findex1 data, GSMA industry research2, and Central Bank of Kenya3 reporting. GSMA research identifies Sub Saharan Africa as the global leader in mobile money, with East Africa, including Kenya, representing one of the most mature and widely used markets. These sources highlight the scale, frequency and everyday integration of mobile money across the population. The country also participates in emerging digital asset activity, as reflected in the Chainalysis Global Crypto Adoption Index4. Despite this, access to formal consumer credit remains limited, leaving large segments of the population underserved by traditional systems. This imbalance between widespread digital financial participation and limited access to structured credit highlights a clear opportunity for scalable credit infrastructure.

In this initial deployment, Inverite will implement its credit infrastructure platform within a regulated lending environment, processing financial and repayment data into structured risk intelligence. Weritas will align capital and market access to enable this infrastructure to operate within active lending systems, while licensed credit providers remain responsible for loan origination, servicing, and regulatory compliance.

"Digital financial participation has scaled faster than credit infrastructure in many markets," said Karim Nanji, Chief Executive Officer of Inverite Insights Inc. "Access to credit should reflect behavior, not geography or legacy systems. Our focus is to align real financial behavior with persistent credit intelligence so that responsible borrowers are no longer invisible to the system. By bringing credit memory into a regulated lending environment, we are advancing how disciplined capital and modern risk infrastructure can responsibly expand access to credit."

"Kenya's leadership in digital finance makes it an ideal environment for this initial deployment and a strong entry point into broader emerging market opportunities," said Reshmeen Hooda, Chair of Weritas. "Through this partnership, we are advancing the phased development of infrastructure to support more transparent, data-informed financial systems over time."

The deployment will progress through defined stages, with each phase informing subsequent implementation. Inverite and Weritas will advance the initiative in a disciplined manner, aligned with regulatory requirements, market conditions, and ongoing operational insights.

I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.

Seeking Alpha's Disclosure: Past performance is no guarantee of future results. No recommendation or advice is being given as to whether any investment is suitable for a particular investor. Any views or opinions expressed above may not reflect those of Seeking Alpha as a whole. Seeking Alpha is not a licensed securities dealer, broker or US investment adviser or investment bank.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - March 25, 2026) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Navan, Inc. (NASDAQ: NAVN) pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement and Prospectus (collectively, the "Offering Documents") issued in connection with Navan's October 2025 initial public offering (the "IPO"), of the important April 24, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Navan common stock 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 Navan class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=55059 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than April 24, 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 litigate 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 achieved, at that time, 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 hundreds of millions 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, the Offering Documents used to effectuate Navan's IPO were false and misleading and omitted to state that, at the time of the offering, Navan had increased its "sales and marketing" expenses. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Navan class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=55059 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information.

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.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, the Ethereum (ETH) treasury firm chaired by Fundstrat's Tom Lee, has reportedly added another $145 million worth of ether to its holdings on Tuesday, showing no signs of easing its accumulation.

Onchain analytics provider Lookonchain, citing Arkham data, reported that Bitmine purchased 67,111 ETH worth roughly $144.8 million from Kraken on Tuesday via two addresses. Another analytics platform, EmberCN, also flagged the transactions.

The reported purchase today adds to Bitmine's holdings of 4.66 million ETH ($10 billion) recorded as of March 22, representing around 3.86% of Ethereum's current circulating supply. The company said in a Monday disclosure that it had acquired 65,341 ETH since its previous update on March 16.

The Block has reached out to Bitmine for further information.

"Bitmine has maintained the increased pace of ETH buys in each of the past three weeks, as our base case is ETH is in the final stages of the 'mini-crypto winter,'" Tom Lee, chairman of Bitmine, said in the Monday statement.
