SONA NANOTECH TO ARRANGE PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCING

Published

July 31, 2026

HALIFAX, NS, July 31, 2026 /CNW/ — Sona Nanotech Inc. (CSE: SONA) (OTCQB: SNANF) (the “Company”, “Sona”) announces that it plans to raise up to $2,400,000 through a private placement financing (the “Financing”) of up to 8,000,000 common shares of Sona (each, a “Share”) at a price of $0.30 per Share (the “Offering Price”). Insiders and certain other existing shareholders of Sona may also subscribe for Shares under the Financing.

Sona intends to use the net proceeds of the Financing for advancing studies to support the clinical advancement and continuing research and development work on its Targeted Hyperthermia TherapyTM (“THT”) oncology treatment, as well as for general working capital purposes.

Completion of the Financing is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as well as the approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange. All securities issued pursuant to the Financing will be subject to a hold-period of four months and a day commencing from the closing date.

About Sona Nanotech Inc.
Sona Nanotech is developing Targeted Hyperthermia™, a photothermal cancer therapy, that uses therapeutic heat to treat solid cancer tumors. The heat is delivered to tumors by infrared light that is absorbed by Sona’s gold nanorods in the tumor and re-emitted as heat. Therapeutic heat (42-48°C) stimulates the immune system, shrinks tumors, inactivates cancer stem cells, and increases tumor perfusion, an approach aligned with the melanoma research community’s active focus on converting immunogenically ‘cold’ tumors, which resist immunotherapy, into ‘hot’ tumors that the immune system can recognize and attack, thus enabling drugs to reach all tumor compartments more effectively. Targeted Hyperthermia promises to be safe, effective, minimally invasive, competitive in cost, and a valuable adjunct to drug therapy and other cancer treatments.

Sona has developed multiple proprietary methods for the manufacture of gold nanoparticles which it uses for the development of both cancer therapies and diagnostic testing platforms. Sona Nanotech’s gold nanorod particles are cetyltrimethylammonium (“CTAB”) free, eliminating the toxicity risks associated with the use of other gold nanorod technologies in medical applications.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION:
This press release includes certain “forward-looking statements” under applicable Canadian securities legislation, including statements regarding the anticipated applications and potential opportunities of Targeted Hyperthermia Therapy; impact and effectiveness of Sona’s THT cancer treatment; the timing and receipt of expected positive histological results supporting first-in-man treatment results obtained to date, including the anticipated design, conduct, and outcomes of the IGNITE-THT and PRIME-THT clinical studies; potential future applications of Sona’s THT cancer treatment, including the estimated addressable patient population for early-stage melanoma; the timing and completion of Sona’s proposed Canadian pilot study and Sona’s preclinical and clinical study plans and the potential market impacts of such studies. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions or estimates that, while considered reasonable, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors which may cause the actual results and future events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including the risk that Sona may not be able to secure the remaining required regulatory approvals for its clinical trials, including the ITA; enroll study participants in a timely manner, successfully obtain sufficient clinical and other data to submit regulatory submissions, raise sufficient additional capital, secure patents or develop the envisioned therapy, the risk that THT may not prove to have the benefits currently reported and anticipated, and general economic, market, competitive and business conditions . There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release are made as of the date hereof, and Sona disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

“As communications ecosystems become more distributed and more critical to frontline operations, organizations need more than alarms and after-the-fact troubleshooting,” said John Jordan, CEO of Omnitronics.

“The Ecosystem Health Dashboard gives administrators a single view of system health across the dispatch environment, so they can identify emerging issues earlier, act faster, and protect operational continuity.”

Delivering real-time visibility across the entire dispatch ecosystem

The Ecosystem Health Dashboard is designed for system administrators responsible for maintaining high availability in mission-critical environments, including public safety, transport, utilities, and resources sectors.

Key capabilities include:

Centralized system health monitoring across distributed infrastructureReal-time visibility of performance metrics and network dataEarly detection of anomalies and degradationFaster diagnostics and streamlined troubleshootingImproved system resilience and reduced unplanned downtime

By providing a unified operational view across all layers of the dispatch environment, the dashboard enables organizations to optimize performance, minimize risk, and maintain uninterrupted communications.

Inspect2GO Introduces GovOwl, Its Brand for Cities and Counties

Published

August 1, 2026

The new brand arrives at NEHA in Kansas City, along with owl chocolates, owl toys, and games.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — GovOwl, the new government brand of Inspect2GO, Inc., debuts August 3 and 4 at the National Environmental Health Association’s Annual Educational Conference & Exhibition (NEHA AEC).

“The owl represents the agency leader who uses our software: watching over operations, seeing in the dark, gaining insight and wisdom.”

Why the New Brand

“We outgrew our name,” said Paul Smith, founder and CEO. “Inspect2GO described our first product. GovOwl describes our clients, the cities and counties we serve. The owl represents the agency leader who uses our software: watching over operations, seeing in the dark, gaining insight and wisdom. Plus…owls are cool.”

Local government is the backbone of every community, and the people who serve in it deserve technology that genuinely supports their work. So GovOwl builds it with people who have done the job. GovOwl account managers include former government officials. They’ve run government programs, sat through the budget meetings, and lived the paperwork. That experience shapes the software and the support behind it.

The GovOwl story began in California in 2011 as Inspect2GO. The company’s first government product shipped in 2013, one simple mobile app for food inspections. That app grew into a complete environmental health system, and from there into code enforcement, citizen portals, online payments, and community development. Agencies kept asking for more, and the company kept saying yes, expanding across departments and automating workflows agency-wide.

Learn more at www.GovOwl.com/about/.

Meet at NEHA

Look for the curious, eight-foot-tall barn owl at Inspect2GO/GovOwl booth #418. Grab some merch like a mini stuffed owl and caffeinated owl-shaped chocolates. Or, if you’ve got the skills, land a bean bag toss from across the aisle to trade up for our official mascot owl.

About GovOwl

GovOwl provides cloud software to city and county agencies for environmental health, code enforcement, community development, inspections, permitting, and online payments. GovOwl serves government clients in 11 states, grows steadily each year, and has a 98% annual client retention rate. GovOwl is a brand of Inspect2GO, Inc., a California corporation founded in 2011 and headquartered in San Clemente, Calif.
