HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shell Energy North America (US), L.P. (SENA), a subsidiary of Shell plc (Shell), has signed two transactions as part of its ongoing management of its US power portfolio:

- The acquisition of 100% equity in Hunlock Creek Generating LLC (Hunlock), which owns 169 megawatts (MW) of natural gas-fired generation capacity in Pennsylvania.

- The sale of interests in RISEC Holdings, LLC (RISEC) to Constellation Energy Generation, LLC for $715 million. RISEC owns a 609-MW, two-unit combined cycle gas turbine power plant that serves the New England power market.

"These transactions reflect our dynamic approach to managing our trading portfolio," said Andrew Smith, Shell's President of Trading & Supply. "We selectively invest in assets that strengthen our market position and create value, while remaining ready to realize value when market conditions present attractive opportunities."

The acquisition of Hunlock strengthens Shell's position in the PJM power market

The acquisition secures supply and capacity offtake for SENA in the Mid-Atlantic power grid operated by PJM Interconnection, the largest wholesale electricity market and grid operator in the USA.

Hunlock and its subsidiary own 169 MW of natural gas-fired generation capacity in Pennsylvania. The asset further strengthens SENA's position in the PJM market through access to flexible gas-fired generation and reinforces Shell's continued focus on investing in assets that complement its trading capabilities.

The sale of RISEC enables Shell to realize significant value on an accelerated timeline

SENA's earlier acquisition of RISEC ensured continued access to the plant's capacity and associated trading opportunities in the market, enabling SENA to deliver substantial value as part of its asset-backed trading portfolio. With this transaction, SENA will bring forward the return it expected to generate from its longer-term ownership through a significant gain on the sale.

Both transactions are subject to regulatory approvals and are expected to close in the first quarter of 2027.

Notes to editors

- SENA's focus is on power markets where it can play to its strengths, including trading and optimization, backed by increased access to battery energy storage systems and flexible power plants.

- PJM Interconnection manages the movement of electricity across 13 US states and the District of Columbia, serving more than 65 million people.

- SENA has maintained an energy conversion agreement with RISEC for the plant's full electricity output since 2019, which will terminate upon completion of the transaction.

- Hunlock's portfolio includes a two-unit, 125-MW combined-cycle power plant and a 44-MW simple-cycle peaking plant. Hunlock is currently owned by Riverview Power Holdings LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Castleton Commodities International LLC.

- The Hunlock acquisition is projected to generate returns that exceed Shell's investment requirements for its power business as outlined at Shell's Capital Markets Day in 2025.

- SENA is a leading full-service energy company providing a comprehensive suite of solutions to commercial and industrial customers across wholesale and retail power, natural gas and environmental products markets. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, with regional hubs across North America, SENA has been active in energy markets for more than 25 years and owns gas-fired generation in some of the largest power markets in the United States.

Glenbrook Capital Management Issues Letter to San Juan Royalty Trust Officer Requesting Explanation and Transparency Around Expenses, Capital Expenditures and the Trust's Financial Position

MINDEN, Nev., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Glenbrook Capital Management, a unitholder of San Juan Royalty Trust (NYSE: TRC) ("SJT" or the "Trust") representing more than 724,000 units of SJT, today issued the following letter to SJT's Trust Officer, Argent Trust Company, calling on them to enhance unitholder communication and provide adequate transparency around the Trust's expenses, capital expenditures and financial position in regards to its liquidity and outstanding credit facility.

September 10, 2026

Argent Trust Company

Attn: San Juan Basin Royalty Trust Officer

3838 Oak Lawn Avenue, Suite 1720

Dallas, TX 75219

To the Trust Officer:

As the holder of 724,480 units of San Juan Basin Royalty Trust ("SJT" or the "Trust"), Glenbrook Capital Management, Inc. ("Glenbrook") writes to raise several matters that we believe require a substantive response from Argent Trust Company ("Argent") to unitholders.

The impetus for this letter was our recent telephone conversation with Glynnis Elo and Nancy Willis of Argent. That discussion reinforced our view that unitholders need considerably more information about the Trust's financial position, material operational developments and the measures being taken to protect their interests.

We recognize that Argent operates under the Trust Indenture, that Argent inherited a number of the issues discussed below, and that Hilcorp controls many operating decisions. Glenbrook is focused on how Argent is exercising the rights and responsibilities it does have under the Trust documents. Our purpose in writing is to identify those areas in which the Trustee can, and in our view should, act.

The suspension of distributions, the accumulated excess production cost balance, recent capital expenditures and the Trust's reliance on its credit facility are each serious matters. In these circumstances more communication and transparency are required, not less. We ask Argent to address the following matters directly, publicly and in detail.

Expense Disclosure

SJT unitholders need a clear understanding of the Trust's administrative expenditures. The Trust's current disclosures are considerably less detailed than what Argent reports for two other trusts it administers.

In recent reporting, Permian Basin Royalty Trust ("PBT") divided general and administrative expenses into four categories: trustee fees, professional fees, unitholder service fees and other expenses. Sabine Royalty Trust ("SBR") included a separately audited Special Purpose Statement of Fees and Expenses Paid by Sabine Royalty Trust to Argent identifying trustee fees, escrow-agent fees and a bonus fee. Elsewhere in its most recent annual filing, SBR also quantified year-over-year changes in additional expense categories, including legal and professional fees, check stub data exchange (CDEX) services, courier expenses and postage. We see no reason SJT unitholders should receive less.

We therefore request that Argent provide a breakdown of the Trust's general and administrative expenses, including:

- trustee fees;

- legal and professional fees;

- accounting and audit fees;

- unitholder servicing costs;

- investor communication costs;

- trustee-transition expenses; and

- other material general and administrative items,

in each case identifying amounts paid to Argent or its affiliates. We also request an explanation of the approximately $976,000 year-over-year decrease in general and administrative expenses, including the contribution of transition expenses, timing differences and other material components.

Trustee-related costs must remain proportionate to the Trust's circumstances. Greater disclosure will allow unitholders to understand those costs and to evaluate the steps being taken to control them.

2017–2020 Joint Interest Audit Adjustment

Unitholders need more information about the joint interest audit covering the 2017 through 2020 periods and the resulting prior-period adjustment of approximately $3.47 million, approximately $2.60 million of which was net negative to the Trust. We recognize that the audit period predates Argent's appointment. The adjustment, however, was recorded during Argent's tenure and has materially contributed to the Trust's present financial position. Argent's predecessor PNC was aggressive with Hilcorp and corrected mistakes made by them resulting in a positive outcome for SJT - in stark contrast to the approach of Argent. In September 2023 PNC, after extensive discussions with Hilcorp, got a payment of $1,037,093 from Hilcorp which included interest on the underpayment.

Please describe the review Argent undertook, including:

- when Argent first learned that a material adjustment might result from the audit;

- when Argent learned the amount of the adjustment;

- who independently reviewed the calculation and the underlying audit on the Trust's behalf;

- whether PNC Bank, as predecessor trustee, was consulted and what position it took;

- whether Argent considered challenging or disputing the adjustment, and the basis for its decision; and

- whether Argent investigated any reimbursement, indemnification or other recovery rights against PNC, Hilcorp or any other party.

If Argent concluded that no viable avenue of recovery existed, please explain why.

Hilcorp Capital Expenditures

The economics of Hilcorp's recent capital program are difficult to reconcile with the prevailing natural gas price environment and the Trust's existing excess production cost balance. We understand that five vertical wells have been removed from the 2026 plan and that completion reporting for the remaining six horizontal wells has been deferred to the first quarter of 2027.

Please identify exactly what information, audit, consultation, objection or other rights Argent has under the Trust documents and the governing agreements with respect to Hilcorp's capital expenditures, including under the Prudent Operator standard, and which of those rights Argent has actually exercised. Given current natural gas prices, the accumulated excess production cost balance and the suspension of distributions, has Argent independently evaluated the economic rationale for these expenditures and their expected benefit to the Trust? Has Argent raised concerns with Hilcorp and, if so, what response did it receive? If any such correspondence exists, is it available to unitholders?

Credit Facility and May 2027 Maturity

The Trust's liquidity position is an immediate concern. Argent has drawn on the Trust's $2.0 million Texas Bank credit facility, which is scheduled to mature on May 21, 2027, and the accumulated excess production cost balance creates a substantial hurdle before distributions can resume.

Please describe Argent's liquidity plan through and beyond the May 21, 2027 maturity, including:

- the current amount drawn and remaining availability under the facility;

- the status of any extension, renewal or replacement discussions with the lender;

- alternative financing sources under consideration, including any offering to unitholders; and

- Argent's contingency plan if the facility cannot be renewed on acceptable terms.

Glenbrook would consider participating, alongside other unitholders, in a financing if Argent presents a viable plan.

Where Argent believes any requested action is outside its authority under the Trust documents, please identify the applicable limitation and describe what rights or alternatives remain available to the Trustee.

Restoration of National Newswire Distribution of Monthly Press Releases

Argent should reinstate this distribution of monthly press releases. Before Argent's appointment, these monthly releases were the most effective means of reaching unitholders, prospective investors, analysts, financial media and other market participants, and they increased the Trust's visibility and accessibility. They are especially needed now, while distributions are suspended and unitholder interest is understandably elevated.

Glenbrook has obtained a quote from a reputable national newswire service for twelve U.S. national press releases annually, with unlimited word count, at a total annual cost of $7,200. We believe this is a modest expense for maintaining consistent, direct communication with unitholders and the market. If Argent will not restore the distribution of the monthly releases, please identify what alternative communication mechanism it proposes to provide comparable regular information to unitholders and the market.

We request a written response within ten business days of the date of this letter, and we would welcome a call with Argent thereafter to discuss these matters. Glenbrook remains prepared to engage constructively with Argent, Hilcorp and fellow unitholders on practical measures to strengthen the Trust's financial position, transparency and long-term prospects.

Sincerely,

Grover T. Wickersham

Recognition highlights USFCR's approach to contractor compliance, market preparation and long-term federal contracting strategy

CLEARWATER, Fla., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- US Federal Contractor Registration has been recognized by the Editorial Board of Gov Business Review as Federal Contracting Services of the Year 2026. The recognition, dated August 2026, highlights USFCR's work helping businesses prepare for, compete in and grow within the federal marketplace.

According to Gov Business Review, the recognition was determined through its Government Business Performance and Value Index and supported by independent editorial research, subscriber nominations and industry input. The publication considered government use-case alignment, execution in regulated contracting environments, measurable public sector impact and institutional confidence as part of its editorial process.

Recognition Reflects a Broader Federal Contracting Model

"Federal contracting success starts with getting the foundation right, but registration is only the beginning," said Eric Knellinger, president and founder of USFCR. "Businesses need to understand where they fit in the federal market, which agencies are buying what they offer and what needs to be in place before an opportunity appears. This recognition reflects the work our team puts into helping contractors prepare for the long term."

The recognition follows a Gov Business Review feature on USFCR titled "Where Federal Entry Becomes Federal Strategy." The article examines the company's development from registration-focused support into a broader federal contracting model built around compliance, market research, certification planning, capability development, proposal preparation and long-term strategy.

Preparation Starts Before an Opportunity Opens

A central part of the approach highlighted by Gov Business Review is preparation before a solicitation is released. Depending on the contractor, that preparation may include SAM.gov accuracy, certification eligibility, agency research, competitive positioning, relationships with prime contractors and bid preparation.

The feature also highlights USFCR's use of structured 24-month roadmaps designed to give businesses clearer expectations for their federal contracting development. Rather than waiting for an opportunity to appear, the model focuses on putting the necessary information, positioning and documentation in place earlier.

Compliance Provides the Foundation

Gov Business Review also identifies accurate registration and compliance as a starting point for broader contracting strategy. Christie Jackson, vice president of regulations and compliance at USFCR, explains in the feature that incorrect or incomplete registration information can affect eligibility or payment status.

From that foundation, USFCR works with businesses across areas including certification planning, market research, capability development and proposal readiness. The feature describes these activities as parts of a connected federal contracting strategy rather than isolated services.

From Federal Entry to Long-Term Strategy

USFCR works with businesses at different stages of federal contracting, from companies entering the market for the first time to established contractors seeking stronger agency targets, prime contractor relationships and larger federal opportunities.

The Federal Contracting Services of the Year 2026 recognition provides third-party acknowledgment of USFCR's approach to helping businesses move from federal market entry toward structured, long-term participation in government contracting.

California Law Sets Specific Requirements for Insurer Conduct, Helping Policyholders Identify What Qualifies as Bad Faith.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What does insurance bad faith in California look like, and how can policyholders recognize it when it occurs? A HelloNation article answers that question by outlining the legal standards that define what insurance companies are required to do when a claim is filed in the state.

California law places specific obligations on insurance companies whenever a policyholder submits a claim. The HelloNation article explains that insurers must acknowledge receipt of the claim, conduct a full investigation, and reach a coverage decision within a reasonable amount of time. When a company fails to meet those obligations without a legitimate reason, the conduct may rise to the level of insurance bad faith in California.

The article notes that bad faith is a legal concept, not simply a description of a bad outcome. Insurers are allowed to disagree with policyholders about the cause of a loss, the value of a claim, or how policy language applies to a specific set of facts. Those disagreements, by themselves, do not indicate improper conduct. Bad faith requires conduct that falls outside the boundaries of what California law considers reasonable.

California courts have identified several forms of insurer conduct that can reach that threshold. The article explains that an unreasonable denial of a claim supported by both the policy language and the facts of the loss is one of the clearest examples. Failing to investigate a claim properly before reaching a conclusion is another recognized form. Adjusters are expected to gather evidence, inspect damage, and review supporting documents before making a determination.

The article also identifies unreasonable delays in processing or paying a claim as a recognized concern under California law. Policyholders waiting for funds to begin repairs after a significant loss can face real financial harm when those delays extend without explanation. Bad Faith Attorney Experts are familiar with California's fair claims settlement practices regulations, which require insurers to acknowledge a claim within 15 days, reach a coverage determination within 40 days of receiving proof of loss, and provide a written explanation whenever a claim is denied.

Misrepresenting what a policy covers is another form of conduct the article describes. If a claims representative tells a policyholder that a loss is excluded when the policy language does not support that position, the misstatement may carry legal consequences. Offering a settlement that significantly undervalues a documented loss is also cited as a potential indicator of improper claims handling.

The article draws a careful line between a coverage dispute and insurance bad faith in California. A coverage dispute may involve a sincere disagreement about how policy language applies to a specific loss. Bad faith involves conduct that a reasonable insurer acting honestly and in accordance with the law would not engage in, regardless of how the coverage question is ultimately resolved.

The article advises policyholders who believe their claim was handled improperly to start by reviewing the denial letter and comparing the insurer's stated position to the actual policy language. Organizing documentation, including photographs, repair estimates, and all written communications with the insurer, creates a solid factual foundation for any future review. Bad Faith Attorney Experts note that California law provides civil remedies for policyholders who can demonstrate that an insurer acted in bad faith, which may include recovery of the original claim amount and, in some situations, damages beyond the policy limits.

How California Policyholders Can Recognize Unreasonable Claim Handling features insights from Demián I. Oksenendler, Bad Faith Attorney Expert of South San Francisco, California, in HelloNation.

Agilix Labs' BusyBee, the AI assistant built into the Buzz platform on Amazon Bedrock, now grades about a million K-12 submissions a month, each one approved by a teacher.

OREM, Utah, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Agilix Labs today announced that BusyBee, the AI assistant built into its Buzz platform on Amazon Bedrock from Amazon Web Services (AWS), has graded 6 million K-12 student submissions, returning roughly 150,000 hours of grading time to teachers.

Across more than 2.5 million submissions on the Buzz platform over the past two weeks, 29% of those graded without BusyBee received a written comment. Of those graded with BusyBee, 84% received one. The 29% says teachers already want to comment on student work. Doing it on every submission is what they lack the time for.

BusyBee lives inside Buzz, so it reads the teacher's rubric and the student's work where they already are and returns a draft comment and score. BusyBee never posts a grade. A teacher approves, edits or discards every draft before a student sees anything.

The pace keeps accelerating. BusyBee now grades about a million submissions a month, and Agilix expects the seventh million within weeks.

BusyBee runs on Amazon Bedrock, so student data stays inside AWS security and privacy controls, and Buzz can deploy in any AWS Region, including in-country where a ministry requires it. Agilix Labs holds the AWS AI Software Certification.

"The part that matters to me is a kid opening a returned assignment and finding a comment about their thinking, written by a teacher who had time to give it. BusyBee drafts, the teacher owns every word, and most kids now get that comment. The hours it gives back are for the students who need a teacher one-on-one."

— Brad Marshall, President and Chief Operating Officer, Agilix Labs

"Systems with hundreds of thousands of teachers are asking whether a teacher can still review every draft at their scale. We have delivered more than 55 million enrollments through our partners to students in more than 200 countries and territories, and being on AWS means we can deploy in-country, at national scale."

— Curt Allen, Chief Executive Officer, Agilix Labs

BusyBee is available to all Buzz platform customers and partners. Agilix Labs is an AWS ISV Accelerate member and is available on AWS Marketplace. Learn more at www.agilix.com/busybee.

Local real estate expertise in Mooresville goes beyond MLS data, covering school zones, traffic patterns, and neighborhood details no algorithm captures.

MOORESVILLE, N.C., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What can a local real estate agent in Mooresville tell buyers and sellers that an agent from outside the area cannot? A HelloNation article examines several areas where genuine local knowledge consistently outperforms what outside agents provide, and why that gap matters for buyers and sellers in the Lake Norman corridor.

School assignment boundaries are one of the most significant gaps, and the article explains that district lines near Mooresville do not always follow the patterns buyers expect based on zip codes or neighborhood names. A home that appears to sit within a desirable school zone may not actually fall within it, and discovering this after signing a contract creates real problems. A local realtor Mooresville NC buyers work with will flag this early and confirm school assignments before expectations are set.

Traffic patterns are another area where outside agents fall short. The article notes that growth along the Lake Norman corridor has changed commute times in ways that mapping applications during off-peak hours do not reflect. Real estate experts who live and work in the area have firsthand experience with which communities offer better access and which ones feel the congestion more.

Neighborhood character is also difficult to evaluate without on-the-ground familiarity. The article points out that shared amenities listed in a property description may be well-maintained or barely functional, and nearby commercial areas that appear quiet on a weekday can generate significant noise and activity on weekends. A local agent who works in the area regularly can give buyers an honest picture of what daily life looks like season to season, rather than what a listing description implies.

Pricing accuracy is another area where genuine local context makes a measurable difference, and the HelloNation article explains that Mooresville has a wide range of price points where the data driving accurate valuations in one neighborhood may not apply two miles away. Lake access, school assignment, HOA structure, builder reputation, and proximity to commercial areas all affect value in ways that require local knowledge to interpret correctly. Regional averages and countywide data miss the nuances that determine whether a specific property is priced fairly.

During due diligence, local expertise also reduces the likelihood of unwelcome surprises. Real estate experts with years of experience in the Mooresville market are more likely to know which areas have drainage concerns, which communities have faced reserve shortfalls, and which builders have track records worth researching before committing. That accumulated knowledge comes from closing deals in the same market over time, not from a database.

For buyers relocating from outside the region, the value of working with a local realtor Mooresville NC families and individuals can depend on becomes especially clear. Newcomers often rely on what they can see on a screen, including list price, square footage, and commute distance on a favorable traffic day. A local agent fills in the gaps with context about flood zones, road noise, seasonal dynamics, and community character that no listing description provides.

What Does a Local Mooresville Agent Know That Others Miss? features insights from Marcy Basrawala, Real Estate Expert of Mooresville, North Carolina, in HelloNation.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Optimum Nutrition, part of Glanbia Performance Nutrition, is a globally recognized brand with a longstanding history of product innovation. Now, the brand is breaking new ground with something that's never existed before: ChampionSips™, a non-alcoholic brew* with more brewed in. Created by Optimum Nutrition and brewed by Wisconsin Brewing Company, ChampionSips pairs the familiar experience of an American pils-style brew with an unexpected combination: 10g of protein from pea and rice, 90 calories, 11g of carbs and 0g of fat per 16 fl. oz. can. Crafted with malted barley and hops, it delivers notes of citrus and hops with a crisp, refreshingly familiar finish.

BREWING UP SOMETHING DIFFERENT

ChampionSips launches as lifestyle priorities increasingly influence how consumers eat, drink and socialize. Americans are spending more time on activities that fit active lifestyles, yet 62% say they've wished they had gone out after choosing to stay in.¹ Optimum Nutrition created ChampionSips to remove that trade-off, giving active consumers a new way to stay committed to the lifestyle they've built while still being fully part of the moment.

"For 40 years, our approach to innovation has been consumer-led," said Jeff Schoenfield, Director of Innovation at Glanbia. "We're constantly looking at how consumers' needs and routines are evolving and where we can create something new. ChampionSips reflects that mindset, opening up an entirely new occasion for Optimum Nutrition and challenging expectations of where the brand can show up."

WHERE INNOVATION MEETS CRAFT

Innovation has been central to Optimum Nutrition. With ChampionSips, the brand is bringing that same spirit of innovation to an entirely new occasion: the moments outside the gym, after the game and when the work is done. Bringing ChampionSips to life meant an unexpected collaboration, pairing Optimum Nutrition's approach to product innovation with Wisconsin Brewing Company's authentic brewing craftsmanship.

"When Optimum Nutrition came to us with ChampionSips, it challenged us to think differently about what a non-alcoholic brew could be," said Kevin Zerman, President of Wisconsin Brewing Company. "The partnership may seem unconventional, but that's what made the challenge so interesting to us. We were able to approach the brew differently while still delivering the crisp, refreshing taste and familiar drinking experience people expect from a cold one."

The limited-edition ChampionSips drop is now available in 4-packs of 16 fl. oz. cans for $14.99 at OptimumNutrition.com, exclusively in the United States while supplies last.** Consumers must be 21+ to purchase.

The award extends more than two decades of ongoing engineering and technical support for the Navy's mission-critical fuel infrastructure worldwide.

BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- APTIM, a leading environmental and infrastructure solutions firm with a long history of providing expertise and integrated solutions to federal defense agencies, has been selected for the US Department of the Navy's $145M Global Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (POL) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract for Architect-Engineer (A-E) Services.

Administered by the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC), the contract provides engineering and design services for POL systems and supporting facilities at Navy and Marine Corps installations worldwide. Work is scheduled through August 2031.

Since 2004, APTIM has supported NAVFAC EXWC across 128 POL task orders valued at more than $685M, including A-E services performed in support of construction and sustainment, restoration, and modernization projects. This experience gives APTIM a proven record of performance and institutional knowledge of NAVFAC's fuel systems, standards, and operational priorities.

"We are honored to continue our longstanding partnership with NAVFAC EXWC and support the critical infrastructure that enables military readiness," Brandon Haggard, Sr. Director of Engineering & Sciences, said. "This award reflects the trust NAVFAC EXWC and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Energy have placed in our team and the performance we have delivered over the past two decades. We are proud to deliver engineering solutions that strengthen fuel infrastructure, enhance operational resilience, and support mission success worldwide."

This award builds on the momentum of APTIM's recent selection as one of 10 prime contractors for NAVFAC EXWC's $997M Global POL IDIQ Multiple Award Construction Contract. Under that 5-year vehicle, APTIM will compete for task orders supporting construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, testing, design, and engineering for pipelines, fuel storage tanks, and associated POL facilities and equipment worldwide.

Together, the two NAVFAC EXWC contracts position APTIM to apply its engineering, design, construction, maintenance, and repair expertise across the lifecycle of mission-critical fuel systems and storage infrastructure while supporting Navy, Marine Corps, and DLA Energy requirements worldwide.
