Built on the Nasdaq eVestment™ Market Lens, Capital Intelligence enriches the relationships IR teams have and surfaces the ones they don't, without leaving Juniper Square's CRM.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Juniper Square, the operations partner to more than 2,300 private markets GPs, today launched Capital Intelligence, a new product within its Investor CRM that embeds Nasdaq eVestment Market Lens institutional intelligence directly into the CRM General Partners (GPs) already use.

Fundraising has never been more competitive. As Limited Partners (LPs) concentrate capital with fewer managers, the gap between firms with institutional-grade market intelligence and those without it keeps widening. Maintaining a current, detailed view of investors and their consultants is a challenge for every IR team — the largest GPs solve it with costly integration projects, while the rest are left with stale, incomplete data.

Capital Intelligence is designed to help address that information gap. Built on Nasdaq eVestment Market Lens, a source of institutional investment intelligence spanning 30,000+ institutional firms, 70,000+ mandates, and 100,000+ key professionals, it automatically refreshes investor and consultant records as the market moves, pairing structured relationship data with qualitative context like pacing plans, consultant sentiment, and allocation trends.

"Fundraising is won by the firms that understand their investors best and move first," said Jay Farber, General Manager of GPX at Juniper Square. "Capital Intelligence puts that advantage in every GP's hands by turning the CRM into an always-current view of the institutional market, so teams can target the right LPs, act the moment something changes, and compete for capital that used to be out of reach."

Capital Intelligence delivers three new capabilities:

- Enrich: Starting with the contacts a firm already has, an AI matching engine proposes links to the Nasdaq dataset, allowing teams to confirm thousands of matches in a single session instead of tracking each one by hand. Every match is a suggestion until someone accepts it, so the system speeds up the work without taking the judgment call away from the team.

- Discover: Pipeline Builder, a new feature within the CRM, lets teams search more than 100,000 investor and consultant professionals across 30,000+ institutional firm profiles and 70,000+ mandate opportunities. Firm type, AUM, and geography filters allow teams to import the right ones in one click.

- Act: Capital Intelligence tracks contact changes across investor and consultant organizations and presents relevant updates for user review and acceptance. Teams can review relationship developments, validate them, and take action where appropriate.

"Capital Intelligence keeps our contacts updated automatically and shows us the investors beyond our network, all inside the CRM we already use every day," said Jedd Horn, Director of Capital Markets at ABR Investment Partners.

"Capital formation works best when investors looking to place capital can find the managers whose strategies fit their needs. That comes down to the quality and timeliness of the intelligence behind the match. By bringing Nasdaq eVestment into Juniper Square's CRM, we put that intelligence where fundraising actually happens — helping capital formation teams work more efficiently and connect the right capital with the right managers," said Daniel Brickhouse, VP, Head of Nasdaq eVestment.

Capital Intelligence is available now for GPs raising institutional capital. Following the launch of Headless GPX in June and the general availability of Fay, Juniper Square's first GPX Agent, in July, this latest release continues Juniper Square's strategy of embedding AI natively into the platform rather than bolting it on from the outside. Firms that already license Nasdaq eVestment Market Lens can connect their existing subscription. To learn more or schedule a demo, visit junipersquare.com/capital-intelligence.

EL MIRAGE, Ariz., Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- In partnership with the Northwest Valley Family YMCA, Compass Datacenters is funding a permanent shade structure over the outdoor basketball court, turning the branch's largest outdoor space into one that El Mirage families can use year-round. The El Mirage City Council approved the contract with Shade N' Net on June 16, and construction is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

At 98 feet by 60 feet, the structure covers a hard-surface court that the Arizona summer currently takes away for months at a time. By reducing heat buildup on the concrete, the shade unit keeps the space comfortable for school‑age programs and after‑school practices. Without it, those practices get pushed into the evening, and families who can't make a late session miss out.

The investment reflects Compass's 100-year neighbor philosophy, which commits the company to the long-term wellbeing of the communities where it operates. Compass is developing a campus in El Mirage, which is the start of a decades-long presence in the city.

"On behalf of the City of El Mirage, I want to thank Compass Datacenters for their generous support of the new shade structure at the Northwest Valley YMCA basketball court, which will enhance the comfort and safety of the families and young athletes who use this space every day," said El Mirage Mayor Alexis Hermosillo. "As a new business preparing to join our community, Compass Datacenters is already making a meaningful impact. This partnership reflects the positive synergy amongst our businesses, nonprofits and the City. We are grateful for Compass Datacenters' commitment to El Mirage and are excited to welcome them as a community partner."

The donation funds a shade structure that residents had requested. In the City's 2025 Parks and Recreation Master Plan Community Survey, El Mirage residents ranked shade areas as the highest-demand park amenity, ahead of every other request. The project also advances the Quality of Life goals in the City's FY2026–2028 Strategic Plan, which commit El Mirage to strengthening community bonds, promoting health and wellness and expanding recreational opportunities across all neighborhoods – in part by upgrading parks and recreational spaces so they are safe, accessible and engaging.

Shade N' Net, the City's shade structure vendor, has recently completed six other shade structures across the El Mirage park system. The City will maintain the new structure as part of its management of the YMCA facility.

The project began with a question. Compass' El Mirage campus shares a property line with the Northwest Valley Family YMCA, and upon breaking ground, Compass asked branch executive Mary Davis what her members needed most. Her answer was one word: shade. Davis had kept a shade structure on the branch's wish list for all five years she has led the location, and the City's Parks and Recreation Department and City Management team carried the project forward to Council.

"For months out of the year, we have a beautiful court that nobody can stand on," said Mary Davis, [District Executive], Northwest Valley Family YMCA. "Come July, the concrete makes the decision for us. Coaches move practice into the dark, our preschoolers stay inside and a space built for this community sits empty. Shade changes that math. It gives us back the biggest outdoor space we have — for our members and for every family in El Mirage who walks through those gates."

Covered, the court opens to programming the branch has never been able to hold there. Group fitness classes move outdoors. The full-day preschool, open from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and school-age programs get outdoor time for bikes, basketball and play. Community events gain a shaded gathering space for several hundred people, including the branch's Trunk or Treat each October. The structure sits beside the branch's already-covered pool deck, extending shade across the outdoor play space.

"Being a good neighbor starts when the first shovel hits the ground and continues long after ribbon cutting," said AJ Byers, President of Compass Datacenters. "Our campuses are built to last a century, and so are our relationships with the communities around them. When the Northwest Valley Family YMCA told us shade would make a meaningful difference for the community, supporting the project was an easy decision."

Initial Phase 3-focused funding to support advancement of AP-SA02 in complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia

New commitment is incremental to previously announced DoW funding and expands total non-dilutive support for the AP-SA02 program to $32.4 million

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Armata Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE American: ARMP) ("Armata" or the "Company"), a late clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of high-purity and potency, pathogen-specific bacteriophage therapeutics for the treatment of antibiotic-resistant and difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, today announced that it has received an additional $3.7 million in non-dilutive funds from the U.S. Department of War ("DoW") to support activities associated with the Phase 3 development program for AP-SA02.

Importantly, the $3.7 million represents the first funding received specifically for Phase 3 execution pursuant to a previously announced DoW award, received through the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium ("MTEC") and managed by the Naval Medical Research Command ("NMRC") – Naval Advanced Medical Development ("NAMD") with funding from the Defense Health Agency and Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program. This funding follows the $28.7 million previously provided, bringing cumulative non-dilutive DoW funding under the award to approximately $32.4 million and underscoring the U.S. government's continued interest in advancing the AP-SA02 program.

Armata's lead clinical candidate, AP-SA02, is being developed as an adjunctive treatment for complicated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia ("SAB") caused by methicillin-sensitive S. aureus ("MSSA") or methicillin-resistant S. aureus ("MRSA"). The additional funding will be used to support the Phase 3 clinical program for AP-SA02.

"The DoW has supported the AP-SA02 program through multiple stages of its development, and these new funds extend that support into Phase 3," said Dr. Deborah Birx, Chief Executive Officer of Armata.

"We believe the continued commitment of non-dilutive federal funding reflects the importance of developing new approaches to serious and difficult-to-treat bacterial infections, including antibiotic-resistant S. aureus. Complicated SAB remains associated with substantial morbidity and mortality in both military and civilian populations, underscoring the need for therapies that can complement existing antibiotics and improve outcomes for patients."

Dr. Birx continued, "We view this funding as the first commitment of DoW support for the Phase 3 program, and we intend to continue working closely with the DoW regarding potential additional support as the Phase 3 study advances. Our long-standing collaboration has helped us move the program from early clinical development toward a pivotal study, while providing meaningful non-dilutive capital to support its advancement."

About AP-SA02

Armata is developing AP-SA02, a fixed multi-phage cocktail, for the adjunct treatment of complicated SAB caused by MSSA or MRSA. AP-SA02 has received Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation, Fast Track designation, and Breakthrough Therapy designation from the FDA. The diSArm study (NCT05184764) was a Phase 1b/2a, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple ascending dose escalation study of the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of intravenous AP-SA02 in addition to best available antibiotic therapy ("BAT") compared to BAT alone (placebo) for the treatment of adults with complicated SAB. Positive results from the Phase 2a diSArm study were highlighted in a late-breaking oral presentation at IDWeek 2025™ in October 2025. The Company plans to advance AP-SA02 into a Phase 3 superiority study in complicated SAB, anticipated to initiate in the second half of 2026.
