on

The first phase of construction at the Innovation District in Kragujevac, Šumadija, Serbia—the largest IT and innovation project in central Serbia—is scheduled for completion in July 2026. To support long-term durability, project specifications called for the Penetron System, a suite of crystalline waterproofing solutions for concrete structures.

ORLANDO, Fla., July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — “The Innovation District will bring together academia, industry, and government to create an optimal environment for startups, research teams, and innovative companies in Serbia,” said Theodor Mentzikofakis, Managing Director and Partner of Penetron Hellas. “The Kragujevac facility ranks among the top eight globally in protection standards and is one of only ten data centers with a cooperation agreement with CERN.”

The development comprises three buildings across approximately 4.5 hectares (11.1 acres), with a total built area of 35,000 m2 (approximately 385,000 ft2). The completed first phase includes a 4,700 m2 (approximately 50,600 ft2) building and a 10,000 m2 (approximately 107,600 ft2) underground garage. The second building is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026, while the central building—described as “the heart of the district”—is expected to be finished in 2027. The project contractor is GAT of Novi Sad.

“Given the mission-critical nature of data center operations, project specifications required a concrete waterproofing system capable of withstanding groundwater exposure while preserving long-term structural integrity,” Mentzikofakis added. “The Penetron System will help ensure durability and protect critical infrastructure over the long term.”

The waterproofing package includes PENETRON ADMIX for integral concrete waterproofing, along with PENETRON, PENECRETE MORTAR, and PENETRON GROUT for sealing joints, cracks, and key construction details. PENEBAR SW, a hydrophilic waterstop, was used to secure construction joints, while MULTI PATCH provided fast, reliable surface repairs.

The Penetron System provides permanent protection by penetrating deep into the concrete matrix and forming insoluble crystals that block water and chemicals, helping safeguard concrete against deterioration.

The project’s strategic importance positions Kragujevac as a regional innovation hub and reinforces its standing as one of Serbia’s leading centers for technology and innovation. The district is expected to attract both domestic and foreign investment while deepening academic collaboration through the involvement of the University of Kragujevac and Serbia’s Science Fund. More broadly, the project is expected to support economic growth by creating a dedicated environment for research and development, as well as for the commercialization of new technologies.

The Penetron Group is a leading manufacturer of specialty construction products for concrete waterproofing, concrete repairs, and floor preparation systems. The Group operates through a global network, offering support to the design and construction community through its regional offices, representatives, and distribution channels.

Lunai Bioworks Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Determination and Intention to Voluntarily Delist and Deregister

Published

By

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lunai Bioworks Inc. (Nasdaq: LNAI) (the “Company”) announced that on October 21, 2026, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000. The Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $(9,024,946) in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, and does not meet the alternative market value of listed securities or net income standards. Because the Company is subject to a mandatory Hearings Panel Monitor under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), Nasdaq staff determined to delist the Company’s securities. Trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the opening of business on October 30, 2026.

The Company will not request a hearing. Rather than contest the staff determination, the Company’s Board of Directors approved on October 22, 2026 the voluntary withdrawal of the Company’s common stock from listing on Nasdaq under Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Board took this action because of the staff determination and the Company’s financial condition, and concluded that the cost of continued listing and SEC reporting is not justified.

The Company notified Nasdaq of its intention on October 22, 2026. The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about November 2, 2026, and expects the delisting to become effective on or about November 12, 2026. The Company then intends to file a Form 15 to suspend its SEC reporting obligations, to the extent it is eligible to do so. The Company’s SEC reporting obligations will continue unless and until they are terminated or suspended in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

The Company does not intend to arrange for quotation of its common stock on any over-the-counter market and cannot assure that any trading market for its common stock will exist after trading on Nasdaq is suspended.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the expected suspension of trading, the expected timing of the Form 25 and Form 15 filings, and the expected timing of delisting and deregistration. Actual results may differ materially due to risks and uncertainties, including Nasdaq and SEC procedures and the Company’s financial condition. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements, except as required by law.
