PHOENIX, Sept. 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Board of Directors (“the Board”) for WillScot Mobile Mini Holdings Corp. (“WillScot Mobile Mini” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: WSC), a North American leader in modular space and portable storage solutions, today announced that its Board of Directors has extended employment arrangements with Chief Executive Officer, Brad Soultz, and Chief Financial Officer, Tim Boswell, through March 1, 2026 and July 1, 2026, respectively. Both contracts include a performance grant for each officer. Additionally, Mr. Boswell has been promoted to President and Chief Financial Officer.

Erik Olsson, Chairman of the Board, commented, “Reflecting on the tremendous shareholder value created during the first year of the transformational merger between WillScot and Mobile Mini, the Board is even more excited about the Company’s value creation runway over the next five years. To that end, the Board is thrilled to secure Brad and Tim at the helm of WillScot Mobile Mini into 2026. We are confident in their ability to continue to execute the Company’s strategy for years to come, driving value for shareholders and delivering best-in-class service and an ever-expanding value proposition to our customers.”

Brad Soultz, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am grateful and humbled to have the opportunity to continue to lead this great Company. Since returning WillScot to the public markets just four years ago, we have increased revenues by four times, Adjusted EBITDA by nearly six times, and market capitalization and total enterprise value by almost nine times¹. We have achieved the number one market position in both modular and storage solutions, transformed our turnkey ‘Ready to Work’ value proposition through our value added products and services offerings and other initiatives, and assembled the best team in the industry, all of which are creating significant value for our shareholders. While I have thoroughly enjoyed this journey, I am even more excited about the Company’s growth and potential value creation over the next five years as we position to eclipse the $500 million free cash flow milestone we envisioned 18 months ago. As we embark on the next phase of growth, I am delighted to promote Tim Boswell to President and CFO. In addition to earning my utmost trust and respect over our last seven years of collaboration, Tim achieved the same level of admiration from both our shareholders and the broader management team. We have the right team in place to create value for our shareholders, and I am honored to work with everyone at WillScot Mobile Mini as we continue our journey together. I look forward to discussing the next steps in our growth trajectory at our Investor Day on November 8.”

Concurrent with the five-year extensions, the Board authorized special performance-based stock grants to both officers to align with shareholder value creation. The performance-based grants have no intrinsic value at grant and would not become eligible to vest unless the Company’s share price reaches at least $42.50 during the performance period. The performance-based grants begin to qualify for vesting at $42.50 per share, with maximum earning potential if the share price exceeds $60.00 per share during their respective contract extension periods. The $42.50 per share minimum performance threshold and $60.00 per share maximum performance level would represent share price increases of 50% and 112%, respectively, relative to the prior 30-day average close price of $28.37. The grants qualify for vesting once the minimum $42.50 share price threshold is achieved over their respective employment contract periods. Any grants earned during the performance period remain restricted, and vest at the end of the restricted period or upon other qualifying events. At the maximum vesting level, the total value of the grants would represent approximately 100 basis points of the incremental shareholder value created, with 750,000 shares granted to Mr. Soultz and 583,334 shares granted to Mr. Boswell. For further details for both contracts, please refer to Company filings with the SEC.

Largest crypto exchange bridges traditional and crypto assets, unlocking new opportunities for both crypto and TradFi participants

ABU DHABI, UAE, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Binance, the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume and users, today announced the launch of TradFi Perpetual Contracts, an innovative product category enabling users to access traditional assets through USDT-settled perpetual contracts. This expansion of Binance's derivatives offerings unlocks 24/7 access to diversified TradFi market exposure and offers new trading opportunities.

Jeff Li, VP of Product at Binance commented, "The launch of TradFi Perpetual Contracts marks a key step in bridging traditional finance and crypto innovation. By providing round-the-clock access to conventional assets with a seamless trading experience, we empower users to diversify and manage their portfolios more effectively. Backed by strong regulatory compliance and trust, this product creates new opportunities for crypto and TradFi traders on Binance."

Binance is the first global digital assets trading platform to obtain a comprehensive suite of licenses under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) framework, setting a new standard for digital asset regulation. TradFi Perpetual Contracts are offered by Nest Exchange Limited, a Binance entity regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM as a Recognized Investment Exchange.

The inaugural TradFi Perpetual Contracts, XAUUSDT and XAGUSDT, correspond to the respective precious metals gold and silver. Binance is actively working to expand the offering with more trading pairs to further bridge traditional and crypto markets.

This launch opens TradFi instruments to existing crypto users while also welcoming traditional market participants to explore digital assets on the regulated Binance platform. It reinforces Binance's industry-leading commitment to increasing user choices and connecting traditional finance to crypto, all while adhering to high regulatory standards.

TradFi perpetual contracts are designed for a simple and seamless trading experience, with no expiry dates and eliminating the need for contract rollovers. Traders can use them to hedge, diversify, and amplify their portfolio strategies across traditional and digital assets.

Key Benefits and Features of TradFi Perpetual Contracts

• 24/7 Traditional Market Exposure: Unlike traditional markets limited to specific trading hours, Binance's TradFi perpetual contracts allow continuous trading, covering pre-market, post-market, and night sessions for global accessibility and flexibility.
• Simple and Straightforward: Settled in USDT, these TradFi perpetual contracts feature a familiar settlement currency and a fee structure consistent with Binance's current range of perpetual contracts. This offers users a straightforward, cost-effective way to diversify across asset classes on a trusted platform.
• Leverage to Amplify Trading: Users can amplify their exposure using available leverage, supporting diverse risk profiles and strategies.
• Robust and Reliable Pricing with Advanced Risk Management:
  Binance maintains continuous trading even when the underlying assets have limited market hours. To ensure fair and manage off-hour risk, Binance employs sophisticated pricing and risk management mechanisms:
  • Price Index: Aggregates data from multiple vendors, updating every second during market hours. Outside these hours, it remains fixed at the last value to maintain stability.
  • Mark Price: Updates every second during trading hours, applying a smoothed futures price calculated with an Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) during off-hours to prevent sudden price swings.
  • Deviation Constraints: Limits divergence between Mark Price and Price Index (for example, ±3% for commodity contracts like XAUUSDT) to effectively manage risk in continuous trading.

TradFi Perpetual Contracts are available on Binance's web platform, mobile app, and via API. Users can log into their Binance account, go to Binance Futures, and find the [TradFi] tab located under the symbol search bar to explore the available TradFi Perpetual contracts.

Disclaimer: Digital asset prices can be volatile. The value of your investment may go down or up and you may not get back the amount invested. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions and Binance is not liable for any losses you may incur. TradFi Perps are subject to high market risk and price volatility (particularly outside traditional market hours). You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payments. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. All of your margin balance may be liquidated in the event of adverse price movement. Past performance is not a reliable predictor of future performance. TradFi Perps do not represent ownership of the relevant underlying asset. Before trading, you should make an independent assessment of the appropriateness of the transaction in light of your own objectives and circumstances, including the risks and potential benefits. Consult your own advisers, where appropriate. This information should not be construed as financial or investment advice.

DUBAI, UAE, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is thrilled to announce the expansion of its derivatives portfolio with the launch of USDT-margined futures and options contracts for XRP, Mantle (MNT), and Dogecoin (DOGE). This milestone enhances Bybit's lineup of advanced trading products and offers users more flexibility in executing sophisticated strategies across some of the most widely traded digital assets.

The rollout began on October 20, 2025, with the listing of XRP futures, followed by XRP options on October 21. The phased launch continues with Mantle (MNT) and Dogecoin (DOGE) derivatives on October 27, with options contracts for these assets becoming available starting October 28. Following the initial rollout, contracts will be generated on a regular recurring basis, ensuring consistent market access and liquidity.

Bybit's options are designed as European-style and cash-settled instruments, which means they can only be exercised at expiration and settled in USDT. This structure eliminates the need for traders to hold the underlying token, making the products more efficient for risk management and speculative strategies. In addition, the platform supports multiple expiration cycles — including daily, weekly, and monthly contracts — providing market participants with the flexibility to manage short-term positions or longer-term exposures depending on their trading objectives.

As part of its long-term strategy to simplify trading and strengthen liquidity, Bybit has also aligned these new products with its unified settlement conventions. In February 2025, the exchange discontinued the issuance of USDC-settled options and linear-expiry futures, consolidating settlement under USDT to deliver a smoother and more standardized derivatives experience. This approach ensures traders benefit from a consistent framework across all contract types while accessing deeper markets for popular assets such as XRP, MNT, and DOGE.

The inclusion of these tokens also reflects Bybit's commitment to expanding access to high-demand assets. XRP remains one of the most established cryptocurrencies with significant institutional and retail adoption, MNT is a rising ecosystem token gaining momentum in DeFi, and DOGE continues to capture mass-market attention as one of the most traded meme-coins. By bringing these assets into its derivatives suite, Bybit enables traders to diversify portfolios, hedge exposures, and take advantage of emerging opportunities in dynamic market conditions.

Bybit continues to enhance its platform with advanced risk controls, institutional-grade infrastructure, and 24/7 customer support. With these new listings, Bybit strengthens its position as a trusted global derivatives hub for traders at every level.

Actian's "data contract first" principle enables full visibility and control over distributed data assets, from creation to consumption 

ROUND ROCK, Texas, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Actian, the data division of HCLSoftware, today announced Actian Data Intelligence Platform enhancements that enable enterprises to transform how they make distributed data trustworthy and reliable at the source before consumption, creating a solid foundation for AI implementations. The new capabilities automate data products and integrate data contracts to foster greater trust in data, ensuring accuracy and reliability to accelerate AI and data-driven initiatives.

Actian's "data contract first" approach embeds governance by design early in the data lifecycle using shift-left principles via data contracts and automated processes. This ensures data products, which are created by individual domains, are well-documented and easy to use with quality guarantees from the start.

As enterprises embrace distributed data architectures, the need for data product approaches becomes critical. ISG Software Research predicts that "by 2027, more than 6 in 10 enterprises will adopt technologies to facilitate the delivery of data as a product."¹

"As enterprises embrace data products to enable self-service analytics, they require robust data quality and governance," said Matt Aslett, Director of Research, Analytics and Data at ISG Software Research. "By incorporating these controls directly into data pipelines, the Actian Data Intelligence Platform is designed to enable enterprises to scale to data democratization safely."

To address this need, the Actian Data Intelligence Platform embeds data contracts directly into development workflows to define clear expectations, enforce compliance automatically, and catch quality issues at the source before they propagate downstream. The result is more reliable AI outcomes, faster time-to-insight, reduced compliance risk, and lower operational costs.

To facilitate data discovery, individual domains publish their tailored data products into the enterprise data marketplace in the Actian Data Intelligence Platform. Dedicated APIs automatically register and update data products within existing continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, reducing manual efforts and ensuring data catalogs stay current.

"The challenge of decentralized environments isn't just managing data across domains – it's ensuring quality and governance at scale," said Emma McGrattan, CTO at Actian. "Making high-quality, well-documented data products easily accessible with the Actian Data Intelligence Platform improves data democratization and enables a data-sharing culture, while our data contract first approach ensures reliable data from source to consumption."

The platform supports decentralized data ownership, breaking down silos to improve collaboration and democratize data across business and IT users. With streamlined data discovery and consumption, business users can quickly find, understand, and use the exact data they need. The platform's federated knowledge graph-powered search engine delivers context-aware results while maintaining enterprise-wide compliance. Access request workflows provide centralized, transparent approval processes with clear audit trails.

To further enhance data accessibility, Ask AI, Actian's new AI-powered natural language query capability allows users to search using everyday language to ask questions, with relevant results ranked by the organization's glossary. This capability eliminates technical barriers and accelerates self-service analytics across the organization.

The new capabilities work across federated metamodels while delivering complete data lineage visibility. When combined with Actian Data Observability, organizations can ensure data products conform to established data contracts. By enriching well-defined data assets with context, quality metrics, lineage, and usage insights, organizations can better leverage data for AI and other use cases.

The new data contract and data product features are available immediately in the Actian Data Intelligence Platform. The Ask AI capability is in private preview. For more information about the new features and others now available, review the "Data Contracts, AI Search, and More: Actian's Spring '25 Product Launch" blog.

About Actian
Actian empowers enterprises to confidently manage and govern data at scale. Actian data management and data intelligence solutions help streamline complex data environments and accelerate the delivery of AI-ready data. Designed to be flexible, Actian solutions integrate seamlessly and perform reliably across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- At the seventh annual Future Investment Initiative (FII) in Riyadh, the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) shared the progress of its ambitious AlUla Experiential Tramway project. With 20 state-of-the-art trains running on a 22.4 km line featuring 17 strategic stations and stops, the initiative encapsulates luxury, history, and green mobility like no other.

RCU contracts Alstom for AlUla’s Experiential Tram on the sidelines of FII

The low-carbon AlUla Tramway, set to be powered by trains and systems from Alstom, a global leader in sustainable transportation, has a 3D model on display at FII, inviting visitors to the RCU booth to get a firsthand glimpse of this ambitious project.

The tramway draws inspiration from the historic Hijaz railway; passengers will be immersed in a journey encapsulating AlUla's profound connection to its history. The tram will connect AlUla's five core historical districts, promising an authentic, visual experience from oasis to desert while capturing the essence of pilgrimages from centuries past. 

AlUla's Experiential Tramway stands as a testament to RCU's innovation and commitment to sustainable transportation, championing green mobility by also encouraging bicycle, equestrian, and pedestrian modes of transport. This emphasis on multi-mobility options underscores Saudi Arabia's drive towards environmental sustainability and heritage conservation. 

Envisioned as the catalyst of RCU's expansive Journey Through Time (JTT) masterplan, the tramway is set for activation in the second half of 2027, with developers slated to join the infrastructure work in 2024. It will offer visitors and residents a luxurious passage through the world's largest living museum, AlUla, and will seamlessly connect all quintessential landmarks, urban areas, and transport infrastructures.

Commenting on RCU's progress, Mohammed Altheeb, RCU Chief Development and Construction officer, stated, "The AlUla Experiential Tramway is not just a mode of transport; it is a celebration of our history and a bridge to our future. This endeavour highlights our commitment to sustainable mobility, ensuring AlUla's treasures remain accessible and preserved for generations."

Mohammed Khalil, Managing Director of Alstom Saudi Arabia, further added, "This collaboration with RCU underscores Alstom's dedication to Saudi Arabia's bright and sustainable future. Through our state-of-the-art transportation solutions, we aim to amplify AlUla's tourism potential by ensuring seamless accessibility to its unique districts. Our mission goes beyond mobility; we are championing the creation of a connected, socially engaged, and economically inclusive society, in perfect alignment with Saudi Vision 2030."

Notes for editors:

It is always AlUla / not Al-Ula

About the Royal Commission for AlUla

The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) was established by royal decree in July 2017 to preserve and develop AlUla, a region of outstanding natural and cultural significance in north-west Saudi Arabia. RCU's long-term plan outlines a responsible, sustainable, and sensitive approach to urban and economic development that preserves the area's natural and historic heritage while establishing AlUla as a desirable location to live, work, and visit. This encompasses a broad range of initiatives across archaeology, tourism, culture, education, and the arts, reflecting a commitment to meeting the economic diversification, local community empowerment, and heritage preservation priorities of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 programme.

Company’s BEDP Offering Propels Growth of Electrolyzer Business

LATHAM, N.Y., June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plug Power Inc. (NASDAQ: PLUG), a global leader in comprehensive hydrogen solutions for the green hydrogen economy, has achieved a significant milestone reaching 7.5 gigawatts (GW) in global Basic Engineering and Design Package (BEDP) contracts since introducing the offer two years ago.

“The introduction of our BEDP has significantly propelled the growth of our electrolyzer business,” said Plug CEO Andy Marsh. “This milestone not only highlights the increasing demand for green hydrogen but also underscores Plug’s industry leading position in PEM electrolyzer technology and driving the green hydrogen revolution.”

A BEDP provides the engineering and plant integration details to allow a full plant front-end engineering design (FEED) study to proceed purposefully and efficiently and to understand, in detail, the capital and operating expenditures associated with running a potential plant.  

Following the project development work and completion of BEDP and FEED activities, customers select suppliers and look to secure a Final Investment Decision (FID). The maturity and track record of the technologies and suppliers involved contributes to any green hydrogen project reaching FID. 

The general timeline for these projects to move from BEDP and FEED to FID is approximately 6-18 months. At that point, the BEDP funnel could translate into electrolyzer sales, with each GW representing up to $0.5B to $0.75B in potential revenue. 

Most recently, Plug closed a 3 GW BEDP contract with Allied Green Ammonia for an electrolyzer project in Australia. The company has an additional 4.5 GW of BEDP contracts spanning the U.S. and Europe.

Plug's ability to scale its electrolyzer business demonstrates its expertise in Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) technology and liquid hydrogen plants, being the sole electrolyzer OEM supplier constructing green hydrogen plants. 

For more information about Plug’s BEDP contracts, please see our detailed blog post on this subject: https://www.plugpower.com/plugs-7-5-gw-basic-engineering-and-design-package-contracts-bedp/

About Plug

Plug is building an end-to-end green hydrogen ecosystem, from production, storage, and delivery to energy generation, to help its customers meet their business goals and decarbonize the economy. In creating the first commercially viable market for hydrogen fuel cell technology, the company has deployed more than 69,000 fuel cell systems and over 250 fueling stations, more than anyone else in the world, and is the largest buyer of liquid hydrogen.

With plans to operate a green hydrogen highway across North America and Europe, Plug built a state-of-the-art Gigafactory to produce electrolyzers and fuel cells and is developing multiple green hydrogen production plants targeting commercial operation by year-end 2028. Plug delivers its green hydrogen solutions directly to its customers and through joint venture partners into multiple environments, including material handling, e-mobility, power generation, and industrial applications.
