News Release

American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI; OTC Pink:AAIRF) Proprietary Solution Against EMF Radiation Could Unlock Significant Shareholder Value

AAIRF, EDR, TKO

As the world gets more technologically advanced, there has been a dramatic rise in the number of electronic devices emitting electromagnetic fields (EMFs). EMFs are invisible energy areas associated with electrical power use, and while these EMFs have helped make our lives more convenient and connected, they have also had some unintended consequences. A number of scientific studies have shown that exposure to EMF radiation can trigger inflammation in the brain, which can lead to tissue damage and contribute to the development of various diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases. The results further demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between brain electrical activity and cognitive function, particularly in the areas of attention and working memory. Basically, using devices like your cell phone for just 30 minutes a day can increase brain tumor risks by 40%, while 24 hours of EMF exposure can induce more DNA damage than 1,600 chest x-rays. That is exactly why the Canadian-based nanotechnology company American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF), which is focused on enhancing well-being and environmental safety, has come up with what is possibly the perfect solution to this problem. American Aires has developed a proprietary silicon-based resonator that protects against the harmful effects of electromagnetic radiation. According to the company, its main goal was to find a way to minimize harm to the body without impacting the capability of electronic devices, which meant that the obvious solution was to modulate, rather than block or absorb radiation, to create a surrounding area free from the harm of EMF. So far, the company has dedicated over 20 years and poured at least $20 million into developing its proprietary nanotechnology, which has resulted in sleek and stylish, convenient devices that can be used for both personal and area protection without any need for a power source. Aires' Lifetune products target EMR emitted by consumer electronic devices such as cellphones, computers, baby monitors, and Wi-Fi, including the more powerful and rapidly expanding high-speed 5G networks. More importantly, the effectiveness of the American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) microchip in reducing the harmful effects of EMF radiation has been reaffirmed by the scientific community. A recently published study in the Link Journal confirmed the chip’s stabilizing capabilities, while at least eight peer-reviewed studies and 25 clinical and scientific reports also validated the technology. Backed by such an impressive body of scientific research that supports the company’s technology, it’s no surprise that the company has been growing its topline at a healthy clip. Revenue growth has been robust, and over the past two years alone, the company has doubled its revenue consistently. According to the company’s most recent earnings results, Aires brought in $5.5 million in revenue for the first 9 months of 2022, representing a 63% YoY increase. Extrapolating this growth rate over the whole of 2023, Airestech could be sitting on $10 million in 2023 sales. What's even more appealing about American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) is that it boasts superior profit margins. At the moment, its gross margins average about 60%, illustrating just how lucrative the opportunity in this space is. This level of profitability essentially puts Aires right up there with the top technology companies like Nvidia and Apple, which had 75% and 45% gross margins, respectively. The company also reached a key milestone after achieving positive EBITDA (adjusted) in its most recent quarter. A multi-billion-dollar market As you have probably realized by now, it is practically impossible to avoid EMF radiation in our technology-reliant world. That is why investors are taking a close look at American Aires Inc., which seems well positioned to capitalize on this huge opportunity. The market for Aires products is applicable to diverse customer segments, including biohackers, tech-savvy athletes, individuals focused on fertility, those seeking better sleep, and most recently, gamers. The U.S. market alone could be potentially worth $5 billion, which is just a tiny fraction of the global opportunity. Currently, American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) operates an online direct-to-consumer sales model with fulfillment centers in the USA, Canada, Australia, and the EU and a customer base of 54,000 clients spread out across 65 countries. However, the company believes that it has the opportunity to further expand its reach now that its products have been especially popular among high-performing athletes and celebrities who value health and wellness. That explains why earlier this month Aires announced the launch of its new campaign, #airesathletes, to broaden its impact within the elite performance sphere, with UFC star Maycee Barber as the first athlete partner. Maycee "The Future" Barber is a formidable presence in the women's flyweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Last year, the UFC and WWE merged to form TKO Group (NYSE:TKO), and Aires’ initiative aims to connect with professional athletes who have turned to the company for the significant benefits its technology offers, particularly in terms of physiological optimization through EMF modulation as well as the proven protection from external EMF sources. And just earlier this week, American Aires Inc. (CSE:WIFI) (OTC Pink:AAIRF) announced that it had signed another strategic partnership with William Morris Endeavor Entertainment (WME), a titan in entertainment, sports, and fashion. WME is a leader in the global entertainment arena, bringing to the table a vast network of world-class artists, athletes, and content creators and a proven track record in talent management and strategic marketing. That means WME is perfectly positioned to elevate Aires' footprint, increasing brand reach and engagement and underscoring the extensive benefits of Aires' solutions for wellness and performance optimization. WME is part of Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:EDR), a global sports and entertainment behemoth that has a 51% stake in TKO. This collaboration will harness the growing interest from elite athletes and performers in Aires' innovative solutions and capitalize on the momentum Aires has built among top-tier athletes, expanding on the recently launched #airesathlete campaign. Additionally, this partnership between American Aires and WME underscores a transformative vision: Aires Technology, already trusted by elite athletes and performers for its unmatched performance and recovery benefits, is poised to become a global standard for EMF protection and physiological optimization.

Blind Review and PathPresenter Partner to Eliminate Expert Witness Bias in Pathology Malpractice Cases

PathPresenter

Blind Review, LLC, the secure digital platform for eliminating expert witness bias, and PathPresenter, the global image sharing platform for pathology, today announced a strategic partnership ushering digital pathology into the medical malpractice space. This alliance will revolutionize how pathology expert reviews are conducted in malpractice cases, transforming it from the old-school, glass-slide model to a cutting-edge, digital model that increases efficiency, streamlines access, and simplifies the traditional pathology review. Blind Review specializes in removing hindsight, financial, and party-identity bias from expert witnesses through a proprietary digital platform and customized process. Once onboarded to the platform, experts are digitally placed into the shoes of the treating physician. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Importantly, the process prevents the expert from knowing what comes next without first committing to an opinion based only on the records available at that point in the care – eliminating hindsight bias. PathPresenter is a secure and scalable multi-tenant enterprise pathology workflow platform that has been developed by pathologists with deep domain knowledge and experience. Trusted by over 45 tier-one medical institutions, PathPresenter is the most comprehensive image management/viewing suite available for clinical care, remote consultations, education, and research. Pathologists play a critical role in reviewing medical malpractice cases for disease diagnosis or when timing of an injury or cause of death is in question. PathPresenter has taken the desktop microscope and transformed it into a state-of-the-art digital viewer that pathologists can access anytime, anywhere to review microscopic evidence in a legal case. Utilizing PathPresenter’s cloud-based, clinical consultation platform, Blind Review’s proprietary process is far more efficient and eliminates the risks and limitations that come with glass slides. “Juror’s trust in experts has fallen to levels below where they were before the pandemic, and we continue to see very large, unexpected verdicts,” says Blind Review’s CEO and attorney-founder, Stephanie Franckewitz. “Independent research supports that a blinded expert doubles the chances of a favorable verdict because jurors perceive them as significantly more credible. We are proud to partner with PathPresenter, and we are in good company, as many of the world’s elite medical institutions use PathPresenter on a day-to-day basis in their pathology departments.” “PathPresenter’s partnership with Blind Review brings the practice of expert pathology review within the medical malpractice space into the 21st century,” adds Patrick Myles CEO of PathPresenter. “Whether in the courtroom or in the pathology lab, expert opinion is all about trust. By partnering with Blind Review, we’re enabling a never-before-seen way to restore jurors’ trust in experts.” About Blind Review, LLC Blind Review is the digital platform that provides the infrastructure to eliminate expert witness bias in medical malpractice cases. We deliver a strong competitive advantage to the trial teams who share our vision: Unbiased, reliable, and trustworthy expert opinions. Blind Review digitally places the expert into the shoes of the treating healthcare provider. As the care-story unfolds, the expert’s opinion is captured at each critical point of care, all while shielding the identity of the attorney, client, and care outcome. Simple and intuitive, our cloud-based interface allows robust customization, with the ability to deliver our unique Blind Review process across multiple specialties within a single case. Blind Review’s platform includes seamless integration with a secure cloud-based Radiology PACS system and Digital Pathology system, with state-of-the-art viewers. About PathPresenter PathPresenter is the global image sharing platform for pathology. We are on a mission to help democratize access to the world’s pathology knowledge by connecting pathologists to the vast expertise of their colleagues globally and providing a practical platform to access and use best-in-class AI models.

Centre for Neuro Skills Promotes Dr. Stefanie Howell to Director of Research Integration

Centre for Neuro Skills

Centre for Neuro Skills (CNS), a leader in traumatic brain injury and stroke rehabilitation services, today announced the promotion of Stefanie N. Howell, Ph.D., CBIS, to director of research integration. “Stefanie has been integral to Centre for Neuro Skills’ research program, looking closely at how we can not only improve the lives of our patients but people with brain injuries everywhere,” said David Harrington, president and CEO of Centre for Neuro Skills. “I’m excited to see the outcomes of our research efforts and how this can give us new insight into improving patient care. Since joining CNS in 2016, Howell has coordinated and designed clinical research studies, written manuscripts and provided education focused on methods for facilitating recovery and maximizing patient outcomes. Howell was promoted to Senior Neuroscientist in 2022 and now oversees the integration of CNS’ original research to expand understanding of brain injury, its causes and best treatment practices in the clinical setting. CNS’ ongoing research includes: Effects of Rehabilitation Following Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Stroke CNS researchers evaluate the durability of outcomes obtained during post-acute rehabilitation following stroke and TBI. This will also determine if rehabilitation outcome is associated with future occupational status, life quality, cognitive function, and overall health, including rehospitalization. Traumatic Brain Injury and the Gut Microbiome Years after a brain injury, some individuals develop a complex set of conditions that prevent them from absorbing essential amino acids. The purpose of this study is to determine if altering the diet in these individuals can change their amino acid absorption and reduce symptoms and markers of neuroinflammation. Effects Of Aerobic Exercise and Rehabilitation After Traumatic Brain Injury Exercise contributes to overall health and protects and heals the brain, but the response to exercise may change after a brain injury. Through examining exercise and how it facilitates recovery, CNS hopes to determine the individual response to exercise (and how it has changed), in order to better tailor therapy to each person. Outcome Biomarkers After Brain Injury Patients consent to providing biological samples to help identify biomarkers in blood, saliva, and other tissues that will help CNS increase diagnostic and prognostic capabilities, tailor patient care and determine how much treatment is necessary. This study will allow clinicians to foresee potential risks that may inhibit recovery and aid intervention effectiveness, allowing CNS to better evaluate current and novel therapeutic interventions. Sleep Alterations After Traumatic Brain Injury and Stroke Sleep-wake disturbances have been identified in up to 80% of those with brain injuries. Sleep problems are linked to impaired attention, decreased cognitive functioning (including memory and attention) and overall diminished response to rehabilitation. This study will determine the nature of sleep-wake disturbances post injury. Researchers may then identify whether disturbances are related to the type, location, or time since the injury, as well as the impact sleep has on outcome and responsiveness to rehabilitation. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) Following Traumatic Brain Injury This is a noninvasive technique of neurostimulation, which uses low amplitude direct current to alter brain cell firing. Studies suggest that tDCS is a painless technique for electrically stimulating the brain with almost no risk of harm. This form of therapy has been studied as a treatment modality for stroke patients but there is less evidence in literature for effectiveness in treating traumatic brain injury. This project will analyze the effects of a three-week program of tDCS on motor recovery and attention/concentration in individuals following a traumatic brain injury. To learn more about CNS and its research, visit www.neuroskills.com. *** About Centre for Neuro Skills Centre for Neuro Skills is an experienced and respected world leader in providing intensive rehabilitation and medical programs for those recovering from all types of brain injury. CNS covers a full spectrum of advanced care from residential and assisted living to outpatient/day treatment. Founded by Dr. Mark Ashley in 1980, CNS has seven locations in California and Texas.

BenevolentAI

BenevolentAI CEO Dr Joerg Moeller tells Proactive's Stephen Gunnion how the company is positioning itself as a pioneer in AI-augmented drug discovery, aiming to enhance the success rates of drug development by identifying optimal targets early in the process. The company operates on three strategic pillars: advancing its proprietary pipeline of molecules for high medical need indications with limited treatment options, offering comprehensive drug discovery services through collaborations with notable industry partners such as AstraZeneca and Merck KGaA, and providing a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for knowledge exploration. This multi-faceted approach not only drives BenevolentAI's scientific endeavours but also underpins its business model, which generates revenue through pipeline progression, collaboration milestones, and the innovative SaaS offering. A key example of the platform's validation is the repurposing of baricitinib, an Eli Lilly drug, for COVID-19 treatment based on BenevolentAI's insights. Dr Moeller's belief in AI's transformative potential in R&D is reinforced by the company's capabilities and the dedication of its team. Near-term milestones include anticipated results from a Phase 1a study of their lead program in ulcerative colitis, with strategic goals focusing on pipeline advancement, forging more partnerships, and exploring the viability of their SaaS model for sustainable growth.
