Key Investment Highlights

- Approximately 30,554-square-foot industrial distribution facility

- Purpose-built facility leased to a leading global logistics and distribution company

- Strategically located within approximately five minutes of Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport

Chay Lapin, Managing Member and Founding Partner of Cove Capital Investments, noted that the firm's principals invested alongside investors in the offering, reinforcing Cove Capital's confidence in the investment.

"We believe investing our own capital alongside our investors demonstrates our confidence in this opportunity," said Lapin. "

Lapin added that Cove Capital's debt-free investment philosophy continues to differentiate the firm within the Delaware Statutory Trust industry by eliminating long-term mortgage financing, refinancing risk, lender foreclosure risk, and interest-rate sensitivity that may accompany leveraged real estate investments.

Potential 721 Exchange Exit Strategy

Unlike many other DST offerings, the Cove Essential Net Lease Industrial 108 DST offers investors the possibility of a fully optional 721 Exchange as a future exit strategy.

"One of the distinguishing features of this offering is the potential for a fully optional 721 Exchange. Should a future UPREIT opportunity become available, investors would have the opportunity to evaluate the destination REIT—including its leverage, dividend coverage, floating-rate debt exposure, Tax Protection Agreements, and other important considerations—before determining whether participation aligns with their individual investment objectives. Participation in any future 721 Exchange would remain entirely optional," said Kay.

iPhone users reported significant gains in eye comfort - and preferred Eyesafe® CPF70 Technology nearly 6-to-1 over the baseline solution

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For the millions of consumers who will upgrade to the iPhone lineup Apple announced today, a new patient study with iPhone users points to a simple, always-on step for more comfortable screen time: Eyesafe CPF70 Technology. Eyesafe®, the global leader in screen health, today released a white paper detailing results of a patient survey study conducted with Southwest Eye Care, a leading eye clinic. Full results: eyesafe.com/iphone-eye-comfort-study.

In the two-period study, 29 adult iPhone users - each using their phone at least two hours daily — used a standard clear screen protector for two weeks, then a protector with Eyesafe CPF70 Technology for two weeks, completing identical surveys after each period. Key findings:

- Participants preferred CPF70 nearly 6-to-1 (62% vs. 10%; 28% expressed no preference).

- Reported eye strain declined 31% (p = 0.001); the share experiencing frequent eye strain fell from 45% to 10%.

- Overall symptom frequency across eight categories declined 17% (p = 0.002).

- Self-reported sleep quality improved 10% (p = 0.013); "good" or "very good" ratings rose from 48% to 72%.

Participants disabled True Tone and Night Shift throughout — meaning improvements were reported from the physical filter alone, without software color adjustment and without the amber shift of built-in night modes.

"Every new iPhone means more hours of screen time. This study shows people can feel the difference when protection is built into the screen itself — reported comfort improved, sleep ratings improved, and participants preferred it nearly six to one, all without compromising the color experience the iPhone is known for," said Justin Barrett, Founder and CEO, Eyesafe.

Eyesafe CPF70 Technology is available in screen protection products, including from ZAGG, a global leader in mobile accessories.

The study was self-reported, unblinded, and fixed-sequence; findings are perception and preference outcomes, not results of a controlled clinical trial. Full methods, results, and limitations are in the white paper.

Marquis Who's Who Honors Monib A. Zirvi, MD, PhD, for Excellence in Dermatology

UNIONDALE, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Marquis Who's Who announces the inclusion of Monib A. Zirvi, MD, PhD, in its biographical volumes in recognition of his more than two decades of contributions to dermatology, medical research and patient care.

Since joining Summit Health in 2004, Dr. Zirvi has built extensive experience in general dermatology, skin cancer detection and the treatment of conditions affecting the skin, hair and nails. He has also served as an attending dermatologist with Atlantic Health System's Overlook Medical Center since 2004. Summit Health named him among its 2026 Castle Connolly Top Doctors.

Dr. Zirvi graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University with a Bachelor of Science in engineering and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. He went on to earn both his medical degree and doctorate from Weill Cornell Medicine, completing an internship in internal medicine at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital before finishing his dermatology residency at the University of Pennsylvania. He is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology.

During his graduate research, Dr. Zirvi helped design the original ZipCode DNA sequences and contributed to the development of the Universal DNA Array, work that supported advances in genetic diagnostics and microarray technology. He holds multiple patents related to DNA diagnostics and continues his association with Weill Cornell Medicine through a courtesy appointment as an instructor in microbiology and immunology.

A related legal matter, Zirvi v. Illumina Inc., has concluded following appellate review. The underlying District of New Jersey case involved allegations concerning intellectual property attribution and an asserted attorney-client relationship arising from Dr. Zirvi's role as a fact witness in earlier patent litigation involving Cornell University and Illumina Inc. The defendants contested the allegations.

In October 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit affirmed the district court's dismissal on claim-preclusion grounds. The U.S. Supreme Court subsequently denied review.

In a separate public-access proceeding, a magistrate judge in June 2026 ordered the unsealing of a 1,679-page email exhibit containing correspondence among Dr. Zirvi, Cornell representatives, attorneys and others connected to the earlier patent litigation. The ruling addressed only the availability of the court record and did not affect the underlying dismissal.

"Making this record public allows interested readers to review the contemporaneous communications for themselves," Dr. Zirvi said. "Although the litigation has concluded, my commitment to scientific integrity, appropriate recognition of inventors and transparency in professional relationships continues."

Dr. Zirvi maintains professional affiliations with the American Academy of Dermatology, Phi Beta Kappa and Tau Beta Pi and has chaired Princeton University's Alumni Schools Committee for Northern Middlesex County since 2004. He completed a certificate in strategic leadership in healthcare through New York University and received the Beerman-Johnson Resident Research Award from Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

Dr. Zirvi credits his parents with instilling in him the importance of education, service and perseverance. Outside of medicine, he enjoys playing basketball. Looking ahead, he intends to continue caring for patients while supporting research aimed at advancing cancer detection and personalized medicine.

Twelve new episodes of the award-winning documentary series air and stream free on BYUtv and the BYUtv app throughout 2026 football season

PROVO, Utah, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BYUtv, the home of inspiring family entertainment available over cable, satellite and free streaming, announced the return of award-winning documentary series "Big Stories" from BYUtv Sports Nation with 12 new episodes highlighting the people, journeys and communities from the Big 12 and beyond that make college athletics meaningful far beyond the scoreboard. "Big Stories" airs before every home and away game on BYU's national TV network which reaches a combined 70 million U.S. households. Each 7- to 10-minute episode will be available to stream for free alongside each game on the BYUtv app and at BYUtv.org.

Rather than breaking down depth charts and debating playoff scenarios in their pre-game show, BYU "Big Stories" celebrate the good in each of its opponents. Subjects this season include:

- Seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs, whose journey from a challenging upbringing in Sacramento to the University of Arizona and on to the Chicago Bears is a testament to perseverance and giving back through his Briggs4Kidz Foundation;

- Notre Dame legend and Outland Trophy winner Chris Zorich, who grew up scavenging for food in grocery store dumpsters and now runs a foundation fighting food scarcity; and

- UCF's Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin, the twin brothers who conquered the NFL together as Shaquem played both college and professional football despite having his arm partially amputated.

"Our motto at BYUtv is to see the good in the world, and for us that starts with our opponents," said Dave Phillips Jr., BYUtv Head of Sports Broadcasting. "With each episode of 'Big Stories,' we strive to give back by shining the spotlight on the inspiring people within the communities that host us each season. The result is a viewing experience for all ages that serves as a powerful reminder of the strength that comes from pressing forward, no matter the odds."

This season ventures into six additional sports outside of football, including collegiate pickleball, equestrian, wrestling, baseball, basketball and soccer to reflect the full breadth of the college athletic experience across the Big 12 and beyond. Viewers will meet subjects whose stories span continents, from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Chicago and small-town Texas. Stories of physical hardship and rehabilitation will air alongside quieter stories of fatherhood, community building and the decision to trade personal ambition for a life of service:

- Utah Tech (Sept. 5): A 16-year-old concurrent enrollment student anchors the nation's No. 1 collegiate pickleball team at Utah Tech, where a familial culture has turned a fast-growing sport into a powerhouse program.

- Arizona (Sept. 12): Seven-time Pro Bowler Lance Briggs traces his path from a challenging upbringing in Sacramento to stardom at Arizona and the Chicago Bears as well as the foundation he built to make sure the next generation doesn't have to make it alone.

- Colorado State (Sept. 19): CSU offensive lineman Zack Golditch survived the Aurora Theater Shooting and channeled his second chance into a life of service, becoming a fireman dedicated to protecting his community.

- TCU (Oct. 3): TCU equestrian athlete Sydney Feager spent weeks hospitalized after a horrific car accident, then fought her way back to competition and team leadership to prove resilience looks different in every arena.

- Iowa State (Oct. 9): Two-time World Championship silver medalist Alli St. John became the first head coach of Iowa State's women's wrestling program, pioneering a new chapter for one of the fastest-growing sports in college athletics.

- Notre Dame (Oct. 17): Chris Zorich grew up scavenging for food on Chicago's south side, became a Notre Dame legend under Lou Holtz, played for the Bears, and now runs a foundation ensuring no family has to know the hunger he did.

- UCF (Oct. 24): Twin brothers Shaquill and Shaquem Griffin went from UCF to the Seattle Seahawks together, with Shaquem playing every snap with one hand, and now share a message about family, faith and redefining what's possible.

- Arizona State (Oct. 31): Fifth-year senior Jalen Klemm suffered a stroke that stole his entire 2024 season, then leaned on his faith to fight back for one final ride at ASU.

- Utah (Nov. 7): Garett Bolles was kicked out of his home as a teenager, taken in by a new family and rebuilt his life through a mission, junior college and the University of Utah before eventually becoming a first-round NFL Draft pick who now pays it forward.

- Baylor (Nov. 14): After a torn ACL, MCL, LCL and nerve damage left him unable to lift his foot, Baylor basketball's Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua refused to let the injury define him, instead returning to the court and now coaching the next generation with the faith that carried him back.

- Kansas (Nov. 21): Head baseball coach Dan Fitzgerald has guided the Jayhawks to historic heights on the diamond, but calls learning about his son Max's autism the hardest and most rewarding journey of his life, one that turned an annual Autism Awareness Night into a community movement.

- Cincinnati (Nov. 28): John Manga fled the atrocities of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo, found an "American Mom" in Paula Hollis and built a new life through soccer at Cincinnati. He now pays it forward as a college coach at Northeastern.

"Every institution in the Big 12 carries a history shaped by people, communities, defining moments and traditions," said Kauri Black, Vice President of Broadcast and Emerging Platforms in the Big 12. "BYUtv's 'Big Stories' series authentically captures and amplifies those stories while spotlighting the people and programs shaping each institution today. BYUtv is helping define how the Big 12 is seen, understood and remembered."

'Big Stories' is produced in-house by BYUtv. The series' West Virginia episode chronicling the story of Kevin Pittsnogle won an SVG College Sports Media Award this year in the "Outstanding Special Feature" category.

BYUtv streams for free with no subscriptions, in-app purchases or ads. The network is always streaming live, and past and current seasons are all available to binge. BYUtv is available across the country via cable, satellite and multiple digital media platforms.

For Bryant, the decision to enter the senior living space grew from experiences within her own family and a desire to become the resource she wishes they had during some of their most difficult moments.

In November 2017, Bryant's special needs brother sustained a spinal cord injury. Her family suddenly found themselves navigating rehabilitation, care options and living arrangements with little guidance or support. Then, in January 2021, her father suffered a similar injury. Once again, the family was faced with important decisions and the challenge of piecing together resources on their own.

"Those experiences opened my eyes to just how overwhelming and isolating this process can be for a family," Bryant said. "When someone you love needs care, you're trying to make major decisions at an incredibly emotional time. My mission is to be the resource my family didn't have, someone who can bring clarity, compassion and practical guidance when families need it most."

That mission led Bryant to leave a successful career in supply chain and establish MidSouth Senior Solutions, LLC in May 2026. After being introduced to Trua Senior Living Locators, she saw an opportunity to bring her personal mission together with a service model focused on helping families find senior living options based on the specific needs of the person they love.

Trua provides personalized guidance to seniors and their families as they explore senior living opportunities. The organization uses a combination of technology, vetting protocols and personal guidance to help identify options that align with each client's individual preferences and physical, emotional, financial and spiritual needs.

Bryant brings years of experience solving complex problems, improving processes, removing barriers and developing people throughout her corporate career. She now plans to put those same skills to work for families across the MidSouth area, pairing them with the perspective she gained while navigating care decisions within her own family.

The name Trua reflects compassion, a value Bryant says is at the center of how she intends to serve the community.

A native Memphian, Bryant is deeply connected to the community she now serves. She is a member of the Professional Network on Aging in the MidSouth, the Rotary Club of Memphis, 901 Networking, the Alzheimer's Association, and several other local volunteer organizations.

"This is my home, and I want to make a meaningful difference here," Heather said. "Families shouldn't have to figure everything out by themselves. We want to listen, understand what matters to them and help them move forward with greater confidence. Trua MidSouth is here to be their guide through every next step."

Trua MidSouth's locator services are provided at no cost to seniors and their families.

Families and professionals seeking senior living or senior care services for a loved one or patient can learn more by visiting truacares.com/trua-midsouth or calling 901-233-2398.

ROKFORM Launches Rugged and Crystal Cases for Apple iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ROKFORM today introduced Rugged and Crystal Cases for Apple's new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, built with powerful MAGMAX™ magnets that deliver 2–3x the magnetic holding power versus standard cases and compatibility with ROKFORM's robust twist-lock and magnetic mounting ecosystem.

"ROKFORM has been building durable cases for more than 14 years for people who ride, adventure, drive, and want everyday protection for their devices," said Jeff Whitten, ROKFORM CEO. "Our iPhone 18 case lineup offers our most advanced protection yet with improved shielding around the camera lenses, and aligns well with our no-unnecessary-bulk design policy."

Designed for maximum durability, the Rugged Case uses a black dual-compound construction with reinforced corners and a raised bezel around the iPhone 18 screen and camera system. Textured side grips offer superior handling, and the Rugged Case exceeds military drop-test standards for 360-degree defense against drops of up to six feet all while staying slim enough to pocket.

Intended to showcase iPhone 18's colorways, the Crystal Case offers the same drop rating as the Rugged Case, but in a clear build that leaves the phone visible. It pairs a flexible TPU body with integrated polycarbonate components for rigidity and impact resistance.

Both cases include ROKFORM's patented RokLock® twist-lock mount, which secures the phone to the company's mounts for cars, motorcycles, bikes and golf carts. The MAGMAX™ magnets provide a more secure magnetic hold than standard MagSafe®, for compatible surfaces, mounts, chargers, and accessories.

ROKFORM's Rugged and Crystal Cases for iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, along with screen and camera lens protectors, are available now at rokform.com.
