Vortex Companies Bolsters UK Services Business to Enhance Project Delivery with Acquisition of Torrent Drainage Services

Experienced trenchless rehabilitation team expands Vortex-owned McAllister Group's field capabilities as the UK water sector enters a major infrastructure investment and delivery cycle

HOUSTON, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vortex Companies (Vortex), a leading global provider of trenchless water and sewer infrastructure rehabilitation solutions, today announced the acquisition of the business and operating assets of Torrent Drainage Services Limited (Torrent), a UK-based trenchless rehabilitation contractor. The addition expands the field resources and technical capabilities of McAllister, a Vortex company, strengthening Vortex's ability to execute rehabilitation projects across the UK.

"AMP8 represents a significant commitment to improving the UK's water and wastewater infrastructure, but ultimately that investment has to translate into work delivered in the field," said Mike Vellano, Chief Executive Officer of Vortex Companies. "Torrent adds an experienced team that already knows McAllister, our customers and our expectations. Bringing that capability into Vortex gives us additional capacity and flexibility to execute projects efficiently as investment in the UK's infrastructure accelerates."

Torrent provides cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, patch installations and repairs, sewer cleaning and CCTV inspection, and robotic lateral reinstatement. Its team has worked alongside McAllister on rehabilitation projects in the UK, providing Vortex with an established base of operational experience on which to build.

"Torrent gives us a skilled team that understands both the work and the standards we expect in the field," said Dan Watson, SVP, Vortex International. "Integrating those resources with McAllister improves how we plan, mobilize and execute projects. It gives us greater control over scheduling and field resources and allows us to respond to customer requirements with more flexibility."

Torrent's operations will become part of McAllister, increasing its capacity to self-perform trenchless rehabilitation work and extending its field resources in the UK. The combination is designed to improve coordination from project planning through execution while giving customers access to a broader base of trenchless expertise, equipment and technical support.

HOUSTON, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Financial Software Solutions (FSS), the cloud-native technology innovator of enterprise-level case management software for bankruptcy trustees, fiduciaries, and professionals, has announced its latest AI-powered technology release, the FSS Intelligence Engine.

This new technology streamlines one of the most time-intensive steps in case preparation for fiduciaries and bankruptcy trustees: reviewing and analyzing multiple documents. With the FSS Intelligence Engine, information from ECF emails, bank statements, tax returns, and document checklists is automatically read, analyzed, extracted, matched, and prioritized the moment paperwork arrives. The process happens hands-free, giving trustees faster access to the information that matters and helping them move cases forward more efficiently.

The FSS Intelligence Engine includes four new features that are transforming casework:

- Daily Brief: Automatically reads and prioritizes ECF activity so what needs attention first rises to the top.

- Bank Statement Data Analysis: Examines bank statements the instant they're uploaded and automatically surfaces potential preference transfers, day-of-filing balances, and account balances.

- Tax Return Data Extraction: Immediately reads tax returns and feeds key data directly into pre-341 Review Reports so trustees are fully prepared before meetings of creditors.

- Document Request Matching: Automatically checks uploaded documents against the original document request list to ensure what was asked for is what was received.

"These four new powerful features have been well received by customers and are saving them a considerable amount of case preparation time. We see it as our job to provide the technology necessary for our customers to modernize and transform the way they work," said Kristi Singal, President of Financial Software Solutions. The FSS Intelligence Engine is now available to TrusteSolutions and CORE software users.

Seguritech to Attend the 19th NENA 9-1-1 International Congress for Emergency Call Centers

Company will engage Latin American emergency communications leaders on AI, robotics, and intelligent dispatch technologies

COSTA MUJERES, QUINTANA ROO, Mexico , Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Seguritech, a leading global provider of intelligent public safety and situational awareness technologies, today announced it will participate in the 19th NENA 9-1-1 International Congress for Emergency Call Centers taking place October 7-9 in Costa Mujeres, Quintana Roo, Mexico. Seguritech will be located in booth #21.

At the Congress, Seguritech will demonstrate how its technologies turn raw information into prioritized intelligence that emergency center staff can act on in real time. AI-powered analytics process incoming data and surface the most urgent events first, helping call-takers and supervisors direct the right resources when seconds count. Seguritech's computer-aided dispatch (CAD) platform connects dispatch, field personnel, video intelligence, sensor networks, and real-time data into a single operating picture of an unfolding incident.

The company will also highlight robotics, which extends a center's reach beyond its walls. Drones and other autonomous systems stream remote monitoring and on-scene assessment back to the control room, so dispatchers get eyes on an incident sooner and first responders arrive knowing what they face.

"The NENA 9-1-1 Congress is the most important gathering for emergency communications professionals across Latin America, and we are proud to be part of that conversation," said Edgar Ramírez, General Manager of Seguritech International LLC. "Emergency centers across the region are under increasing pressure to do more with limited resources. They need technology that works as one system, not a collection of separate tools. Our ecosystem of artificial intelligence, robotics, and next-generation CAD technologies is designed to give those teams greater visibility, which enables faster decisions and response."

The NENA 9-1-1 International Congress is Latin America's foremost forum for emergency communications professionals, bringing together 9-1-1 center directors, public safety officials, government agencies, and technology innovators to share best practices and explore the technologies transforming emergency response across the region.

About Seguritech

Seguritech deploys intelligent technologies designed to support public safety operations through advanced situational awareness, data integration, operational intelligence, and real-time decision support.

AI-powered HitRix platform streamlines large-group submissions, multi-market quoting, proposal comparison and placement in one secure environment, thereby reducing time to market.

STUART, Fla., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Health In Tech, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIT), an AI-enabled InsurTech platform company ("Health In Tech" or the "Company"), today announced the launch of HitRix, a new AI-powered platform designed to simplify one of the most complex and manual workflows in the large-group self-funded health insurance market, aiming to increase the efficiency of the process and speed to market, and representing another growth lever for the Company.

The Company also updated its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to approximately $33 million, roughly in line with 2025 revenue, primarily reflecting the timing of several strategic initiatives during 2026. Health In Tech expects HitRix, the Company's Three-Year Rate Stabilization Program, which is a differentiated solution designed to provide employers with greater predictability in stop-loss pricing over a multi-year period, and expanded carrier capacity, to become more meaningful growth contributors beginning in 2027 and beyond.

Solving a Complex Large-Group Workflow

For brokers serving larger employers, bringing a case to market can require collecting significant volumes of employee census information, claims data, plan documents and other sensitive information; organizing files received in multiple formats; preparing submissions for different carriers and managing general underwriters ("MGUs"); tracking responses; and manually comparing proposals. HitRix is designed to simplify that process.

Through HitRix, brokers can securely upload case information in the formats in which they receive it. HitRix uses AI-powered document intelligence to ingest, extract, organize and structure the information, reducing the need for manual data entry and reformatting.

The platform then enables brokers to manage submissions across multiple carriers and MGUs, track market activity in one environment, organize incoming proposals and compare alternatives more efficiently.

By reducing repetitive administrative work, HitRix is designed to allow brokers to spend more time advising clients and less time managing documents, spreadsheets, emails and multiple insurance portals.

Unlike traditional submission tools focused primarily on document routing or RFP management, HitRix is integrated with Health In Tech's broader underwriting and marketplace infrastructure, connecting submission, market access, analytics and transaction execution within one environment.

Established Distribution Foundation

HitRix launches across Health In Tech's existing distribution ecosystem, which included 933 partners across brokers, third party administrators and agencies as of June 30, 2026, representing 19.9% year-over-year growth.

The Company believes this established network provides a foundation for HitRix's adoption and continued expansion across participating carriers and MGUs. As more transactions move through the platform, Health In Tech also expects to build a growing base of structured market and placement data that can support additional analytics, workflow automation and AI-enabled capabilities.

"The challenge we are solving with HitRix goes far beyond putting an insurance submission online," said Tim Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of Health In Tech. "Large-group brokers often manage substantial amounts of census data, claims information and plan documents across different formats and systems. HitRix is designed to let AI handle much of that administrative work while giving brokers one environment to organize the case, access multiple markets and compare proposals."

"Our goal is to make it dramatically easier for brokers to shop the market while keeping them at the center of the client relationship," Johnson added. "We believe HitRix represents an important step toward building a more connected and intelligent marketplace for self-funded health insurance."

2026 Outlook and 2027 Growth Drivers

For full-year 2026, Health In Tech expects revenue of approximately $33 million, roughly in line with 2025 revenue. This revised outlook primarily reflects the timing of HitRix commercialization, the Three-Year Rate Stabilization Program and additional carrier capacity, which affect the timing of new policy effective dates and related revenue recognition.

The Company expects these initiatives to contribute more meaningfully in 2027 and beyond as adoption increases, carrier capacity expands and new business becomes effective.

(Nasdaq: HIT) is an AI-enabled InsurTech platform company, which offers a marketplace that aims to improve processes in the health insurance industry through vertical integration, process simplification, and automation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Happen Bank, a subsidiary of Happen, Inc. (Nasdaq: HAPN) and a digital bank built for the Motivated Middle, today announced that it has crossed $10 billion in personal loans sold through its proprietary structured loan certificates programs, HAPS and LENDR. Launched in April 2023 and June 2025, respectively, the programs expand investor access to Happen Bank loans while providing the company with a flexible, scalable source of marketplace funding.

This milestone reflects sustained demand for Happen Bank's personal loan assets, with existing marketplace investors increasing their purchases and new marketplace investors continuing to join the platform. Together, HAPS and LENDR enhance Happen Bank's ability to match assets with committed funding and balance marketplace loan sales with balance sheet growth, which provides more flexibility to generate attractive returns across a range of economic cycles.

HAPS, formerly known as SLCLC, is a two-tranche private securitization in which Happen Bank retains the senior note and sells the residual certificate on a pool of loans to a marketplace investor at a predetermined price, effectively providing built-in financing. Marketplace investors earn compelling levered returns with low friction and low-cost financing on a liquid security, and Happen Bank earns an attractive yield with remote credit risk.

Building on the success of the HAPS program, Happen Bank launched LENDR, which offers multiple note tranches, each with a credit rating from Fitch, to meet the needs of investors seeking an investment grade rating to invest in Happen Bank's attractive asset class. The program further diversifies Happen Bank's marketplace funding and expands the company's ability to place loans efficiently across market conditions.

"Structured certificates, which are uniquely enabled by our bank status, allow us to provide investors with attractive, streamlined financing and efficient access to the asset class across changing market conditions," said Clarke Roberts, Senior Vice President, General Manager, Marketplace at Happen Bank. "Crossing $10 billion through these programs in just over three years speaks to the value of these types of structures for investors. We're proud that Happen Bank was the first in the industry to offer both high-quality personal loans and streamlined financing at scale, cementing our status as a provider of choice in this asset class."

Throughout its 20-year history, Happen Bank has offered a range of industry-first, unique product structures to expand investor access to consumer credit, broaden distribution, and improve liquidity for all investors.

From reality TV intrigue to viral challenges and après-ski giving, new programs ensure every office personality finds its perfect match.

STOUGHTON, Mass., Sept. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TeamBonding, the industry leader in corporate team building and volunteering, announced its Q4 lineup of customized events for teams. Built around the idea that no two work environments look or act the same, TeamBonding is introducing fresh experiences that turn unique workplace dynamics into opportunities for collaboration and connection.

"Every team has its own personality, whether you're managing social butterflies, chronic scrollers, or people who just want to play games for a good cause," said David Goldstein, TeamBonding's founder. "Workplaces aren't one-size-fits-all, so team building shouldn't be either. Our new experiences give companies a practical, engaging way to embrace their team's specific style while getting everyone off Slack and into action."

Featured Q4 Programs

The new lineup addresses specific workplace styles with targeted, high-energy events designed to bring people together while having fun:

- Friend or Foe: For the office that loves reality TV and secret alliances

- Inspired by The Traitors, this live event splits participants into teams to complete dynamic missions. The twist? A few hidden "Foes" are secretly working to sabotage progress from within. Players must decode behavior, challenge assumptions, and decide who to trust before the Foes take over. The experience ends with a debrief connecting the in-game suspicion to real-world communication and trust.

- Teams Gone Viral: For the office that spends way too much time on TikTok

- Available in-person or virtually, this fast-paced event puts teams head-to-head in viral challenges, AI-inspired missions, and synchronized group performances. Highlights are uploaded to a private live feed where teams follow the action and see how they rank on the leaderboard. No social media skills are required to participate, making it a low-pressure way to build quick thinking and creative collaboration.

- Alpine Charity Challenge: For the office that loves PTOand cares about their community

- This après-ski-themed competition brings lodge energy directly to corporate teams. Participants race through physical, creative, and strategic tasks inspired by winter escapes. Every completed challenge earns items used to assemble winter care kits for individuals experiencing homelessness, blending friendly competition with meaningful community support.
