The Transaction expands DISA Uranium's abandoned uranium mine and conventional uranium portfolio in the western United States and represents the next step in the Company's strategy to consolidate domestic uranium assets around its differentiated recycling, recovery and processing platform.

CASPER, Wyo., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DISA Uranium™ Corporation ("DISA Uranium" or the "Company"), an American company built to recover and produce domestic uranium and remediate the nation's legacy uranium sites, today announced that it has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with Premier American Uranium Inc. ("PUR") (TSXV: PUR) (OTCQB: PAUIF) to acquire a portfolio of uranium projects in Colorado (the "Colorado Portfolio").

DISA Uranium will also make a US$5,000,000 strategic equity investment ("Equity Investment") in subscription receipts of PUR ("Subscription Receipts") at a price of C$0.75 per Subscription Receipt (the "Offering Price") and will have the right to nominate one director to PUR's board of directors ("Board") upon closing (collectively, the "Transaction").

PUR is a U.S.-focused uranium exploration and development company with a diversified portfolio spanning five established uranium districts across the western United States. The Transaction establishes a strategic relationship between the companies and supports potential future collaboration across PUR's broader portfolio.

The Transaction represents the next step in DISA Uranium's strategy to consolidate complementary U.S. uranium assets and abandoned uranium mine ("AUM") waste using its proprietary High-Pressure Slurry Ablation technology ("HPSA™").

DISA Uranium holds the only U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission license authorizing the remediation and recovery of abandoned uranium mine waste across multiple sites. The Colorado Portfolio complements the Company's conventional uranium assets in Utah, acquired from IsoEnergy Ltd. (see news release dated August 4, 2026), further expanding its potential uranium feedstock base and supporting its plans to develop new domestic uranium recovery and processing capacity.

Greyson Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer of DISA Uranium, commented, "We are excited to add another portfolio of AUM and exploration uranium assets to DISA Uranium's growing U.S. resource base. The Colorado Portfolio builds on the foundation established through our recent transaction with IsoEnergy and represents another step in our strategy to consolidate domestic uranium resources around our differentiated technology and future processing capabilities. Together, our AUM and conventional resource base provide multiple potential sources of uranium feedstock as we work to build a more secure domestic uranium supply chain. Our strategic equity investment and Board representation also establish a strong foundation for an ongoing partnership with PUR as we explore opportunities to collaborate across its broader U.S. portfolio."

Colin Healey, Chief Executive Officer of Premier American Uranium, commented, "We are excited to welcome DISA Uranium as a major strategic shareholder of PUR and look forward to welcoming Greyson Buckingham to our Board upon closing of the Transaction. This relationship extends beyond the sale of our non-core Colorado assets. We see meaningful opportunities to collaborate across our broader U.S. portfolio, including evaluating the potential application of DISA Uranium's HPSA™ technology and future regional processing infrastructure. DISA Uranium's investment strengthens our alignment while providing additional capital to advance PUR's core projects."

The Transaction: Expanding DISA Uranium's Resource Base

DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire PUR's Colorado portfolio of exploration and past-producing uranium assets in the historic Uravan Mineral Belt, comprising the Outlaw Mesa, Atkinson Mesa, Monogram Mesa and Slick Rock projects. The Colorado Portfolio encompasses approximately 20,000 acres across one of the most prolific uranium-vanadium producing districts in the United States and includes eight U.S. Department of Energy uranium and vanadium leases and 545 patented and unpatented lode mining claims, together with associated geological data, historical mine workings and infrastructure.

The portfolio also contains significant abandoned uranium mine waste, with an estimate of approximately 2 million tons of AUM material identified across the properties, providing a potential opportunity for DISA Uranium to apply its differentiated remediation and recovery capabilities alongside the conventional exploration and development potential of the assets. The DOE leases contain approximately 2.7 million pounds of historical uranium resources reported by the DOE and its predecessor agencies.1

The properties are located in the heart of Colorado's Uravan Mineral Belt, a district that has produced nearly 80 million pounds of U₃O₈ and more than 400 million pounds of V2O5 since 1945.

The Transaction expands DISA Uranium's AUM and conventional uranium footprint in the western United States and complements the Company's Utah portfolio acquired from IsoEnergy, which includes the Tony M, Daneros and Rim mines and the Sage Plain and Flatiron projects. Together, the Utah and Colorado assets establish a growing portfolio of conventional uranium assets and potential remediation feedstock across established U.S. uranium districts.

Beyond the Colorado Portfolio acquisition, DISA Uranium's strategic Equity Investment in PUR creates long-term alignment between the companies and provides a platform to pursue additional opportunities across PUR's U.S. uranium portfolio, including the potential application of HPSA™ to support future regional processing capacity.

Transaction Terms

Under the Agreement, DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire the Colorado Portfolio from PUR in consideration for:

- the issuance to PUR of US$2,000,000 worth of equity consisting of 25,413 common shares of DISA Uranium ("DISA Uranium Shares") on closing of the Transaction; and

- the issuance to PUR of warrants exercisable to acquire 25,413 DISA Uranium Shares at a price of US$118.05 per share, subject to the satisfaction of certain vesting conditions.

Completion of the Transaction is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions as set forth in the Agreement, including, among other things, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals including the approval of the Department of Energy and completion of the Equity Investment, including the conversion of the Subscription Receipts in accordance with the terms thereof.

In connection with the Transaction, DISA Uranium will make a strategic equity investment in PUR, resulting in an approximately 8.7% ownership interest and providing additional capital to advance PUR's core portfolio. Subject to maintaining a specified ownership threshold, DISA Uranium will receive customary participation rights. Upon completion of the Transaction, Greyson Buckingham, Chief Executive Officer of DISA Uranium, will join PUR's Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Equity Investment, DISA Uranium has agreed to acquire Subscription Receipts for aggregate proceeds of US$5,000,000. Each Subscription Receipt will entitle the holder thereof to automatically receive, upon satisfaction or waiver, as applicable, of certain escrow release conditions (the "Escrow Release Conditions"), one common share of PUR (a "PUR Share").

The Escrow Release Conditions include the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to the completion of the Transaction. The proceeds of the Equity Investment will be held in escrow and not released to PUR until the Escrow Release Conditions are satisfied or waived, as applicable. If the Escrow Release Conditions have not been satisfied or waived, as applicable, on or prior June 13, 2027, the aggregate Offering Price of the Subscription Receipts (plus any interest earned thereon) will be returned to DISA Uranium, and such Subscription Receipts will be automatically cancelled and be of no further force and effect.

Smarter grids can save Europe €10 billion in grid investment

ATHENS, Greece, Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Europe could save €10 billion in electricity grid investment by making smarter use of existing grid capacity as electric vehicle uptake grows. A new study commissioned by EIT Urban Mobility, ChargeUp Europe and ACEA, and carried out by Siemens, finds that around €24.7 billion in electricity distribution grid investment would be required by 2030 to accommodate projected electric vehicle (EV) growth. Deploying intelligent EV Load Management could reduce this investment need to around €14 billion.

The study, Electricity Grids in Europe, assesses how the electrification of passenger cars and light duty vehicles will affect electricity distribution grids across the EU27 and three EEA countries, based on detailed modelling of 64 representative European cities.

The study highlights the role of EV Load Management, the intelligent coordination of when and how quickly electric vehicles charge to avoid overloading the grid during periods of peak electricity demand. Combined with grid digitalisation, smart charging enables electricity networks to make better use of existing capacity, reducing reinforcement needs while supporting the reliable integration of millions of electric vehicles.

Electric vehicle adoption is expected to accelerate rapidly over the coming years.

Charging behaviour is as important as vehicle uptake. By modelling residential, workplace, public, en route and depot charging separately, the study shows that where and when vehicles charge fundamentally shapes local grid demand and future investment needs. Around 55–62% of EV owners in the representative cities are expected to have access to residential charging by 2030, underscoring the growing importance of low voltage distribution grids in Europe's electrification.

Among its key findings, the study also concludes that:

- EV growth will put every European city under grid pressure, BEV numbers are projected to grow 3.8× by 2030, and all 64 cities analysed require grid reinforcement to accommodate this growth

- The biggest pressure is on the low voltage grid: 77.7% of physical grid reinforcement investment is needed at low voltage, driven largely by residential EV charging

- Without load management, the study estimates €24.7B in grid investment. With load management, this falls to €14.1B, avoiding €10.6B in investment.

FloLogic Introduces Remote I/O Module, Expanding Wireless Integration Across the Connected Water Ecosystem

New wireless module enables flexible integration with plumbing and smart home devices

MORRISTOWN, N.C., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FloLogic®, a pioneering brand of plumbing leak detection technology and a subsidiary of Bradford White Corporation, has introduced the FloLogic Remote I/O (Input/Output) Module, a new wireless integration solution that expands the capabilities of the FloLogic leak detection and automatic water shutoff platform. The Remote I/O module enables wireless communication between FloLogic systems and third-party water-using devices, plumbing controls, alarm systems and home automation platforms through configurable input and output connections.

The introduction of Remote I/O advances the adaptability of FloLogic's connected smart plumbing ecosystem. Previously, integration with external devices required the use of a FloLogic Legacy Control Panel and a wired connection to the FloLogic System. With Remote I/O, users can now place the module near the connected device anywhere on the premises.

As property owners and managers increasingly adopt smart home and building technologies, there is growing demand for water management systems that can communicate with other critical infrastructure to optimize leak monitoring. The FloLogic Remote I/O module addresses this need by making it easier to connect water-consuming equipment and property monitoring systems to the FloLogic platform, creating a more intelligent and responsive water management environment.

"Remote I/O demonstrates FloLogic's commitment to creating the industry's most comprehensive ecosystem for water protection and water management," said Douglass Phillips, general manager of FloLogic. "By removing hardwired limitations, Remote I/O gives installers and property owners unprecedented flexibility to connect FloLogic with the devices and systems associated with water use throughout a property."

The Remote I/O module enables a wide range of applications, including irrigation systems, water softeners, pool and fountain autofill systems, well pumps, hot water recirculation pumps, security systems, home automation platforms, and third-party water sensors. Configurable inputs can be used to authorize extended water use for designated devices, helping prevent nuisance shutoffs during normal operation, while outputs can communicate FloLogic system status to external equipment and controllers, such as to disable hot water recirculation during a shutoff or when a property is unoccupied, protecting the pump and creating greater water heating energy efficiency.

The wireless design allows installers to mount the Remote I/O module wherever it is most practical, rather than where control wiring is available. This simplifies installation in larger homes, commercial buildings, multifamily properties and campuses where controlled equipment may be located far from the FloLogic valve and local control module.

"As plumbing becomes increasingly connected with broader property management systems, Remote I/O allows FloLogic to serve as the conduit to various aspects of water damage prevention and system controls," Phillips said. "The result is a smarter, more capable system that provides greater value to property owners while making integration easier for installers."

About FloLogic

Based in Morrisville, N.C., FloLogic has been a pioneering brand of plumbing leak detection and automatic water shutoff solutions since 1999 and has become a trusted name in the marketplace for innovative solutions. Today's sixth-generation FloLogic system is recommended by leading property insurers and is available in multiple sizes and configurations to optimize protection for a range of property types. FloLogic is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bradford White Corporation, based in Ambler, Pennsylvania. Bradford White Corp. is a full-line manufacturer of residential, commercial, and industrial water heating, space heating, combination heating, and storage products.

DANVILLE, Ill., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Parkway Dispensary, the locally owned and operated adult-use cannabis dispensary in Tilton, has been named Best Cannabis Dispensary in Central Illinois at the 2026 People's Choice Awards, presented by The News-Gazette. The win marks the third consecutive year Central Illinois voters have chosen Parkway as their favorite dispensary.

The People's Choice Awards are decided entirely by public vote, making the honor a direct reflection of the customers who walk through Parkway's doors every day.

Since opening in September 2023, Parkway has built its reputation on two commitments: offering some of the most competitive prices in the region, and stocking the largest selection of quality, craft-grown cannabis in Central Illinois. Parkway works directly with independent Illinois cultivators, processors, and brands to carry lab-tested flower, concentrates, edibles, and more that customers simply cannot find anywhere else in the area. New customers are also welcomed with 50% off their first three visits, giving first-timers a low-risk way to explore the menu and find what works for them.

"Winning this award three years in a row tells us the people of Central Illinois are paying attention to the little things, and that's exactly where our staff shines," said Ambrose Jackson, CEO of Parkway Dispensary. "Every budtender, every manager, and every person behind the scenes shows up with one goal: to create the best possible experience for the customer in front of them. This award belongs to them, and I can't thank them enough for their dedication."

Parkway isn't slowing down. The team is preparing to roll out new services designed to make shopping easier and more convenient, including curbside pickup and the ability to serve Illinois medical cannabis cardholders. Additional details on both programs will be announced in the coming weeks.

"From day one, our goal has been to build lifelong relationships with our customers and with this community," Jackson added. "Three years of People's Choice wins says we're on the right track. Central Illinois has given us their trust, and we intend to keep earning it every single day."

Parkway Dispensary is located in Tilton, Illinois, and is open seven days a week. Customers can browse the menu and order ahead at shop.parkwaydispensary.com/tilton.
