    Organto Foods Inc. Announces Prepayment of Convertible Notes

    Optimizes Capital Structure and Financial Flexibility

    VANCOUVER, BC AND BREDA, NETHERLANDS / ACCESS Newswire / November 17, 2025 / Organto Foods Inc. (TSX-V:OGO)(OTCQX:OGOFF)(FSE:OGF0) (“Organto” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce that it has completed the previously announced prepayment of all outstanding 10% convertible notes totaling CDN $2,340,850, as part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to optimize its capital structure and position for anticipated growth.

    As previously announced on October 24, 2025, the Company provided 30 days’ notice to holders of the convertible notes of its intention to prepay the outstanding notes, including all interest accrued through November 24, 2025. During the notice period, debenture holders had the option to convert their notes at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share; however, 100% of holders elected to receive a cash payment in lieu of conversion. As a result, the Company has repaid principal of CDN $2,340,850 plus accrued interest of $206,829 to note holders.

    The prepaid convertible notes were originally scheduled to mature in tranches through March 2027, with $922,000 due in December 2025 and $148,000 due in February 2026, followed by additional maturities in December 2026, February 2027, and March 2027. These debentures were convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $0.60 per common share and could have been force-converted if the Company’s stock traded at or above $0.90 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days.

    “The proactive prepayment of these convertible notes is a key part of our broader financing strategy,” said Steve Bromley, Co-Chair and CEO of Organto Foods Inc. “By removing the potential dilution and debt service costs related to these convertible securities, we believe we are positioning our business for greater flexibility and improved cash flow as we execute on plans to continue to advance our global organic and fairtrade foods platform. This action reflects our confidence in our business, our commitment to sustainable growth, and our focus on the creation of long-term shareholder value.”

  • Thailand Privilege Releases Comprehensive Guide for Card Members to Navigate Points Redemption System

    Thailand Privilege Releases Comprehensive Guide for Card Members to Navigate Points Redemption System

    BANGKOK, Thailand – November 17, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Thailand Privilege has released a detailed step-by-step guide to help members navigate the program’s point-based benefit system, providing clarity on how to redeem rewards ranging from spa treatments to visa renewal services. The new resource addresses member requests for clearer instructions following the program’s 2025 restructuring.

    The comprehensive guide explains how Thailand Privilege members can effectively use their annual point allocations to access premium services, including golf rounds at exclusive courses, airport fast-track services, health checkups, and complimentary assistance with 90-day immigration reporting. Each membership tier receives different point allocations, with Gold members receiving 20 points annually, Platinum members 35 points, Diamond members 55 points, and Reserve members 120 points.

    “The release of this redemption guide represents our commitment to ensuring members can fully utilize their benefits without confusion,” said Rex Baay, a Thailand Privilege spokesperson. “We listened to member feedback requesting clearer instructions, and this guide delivers exactly that – a straightforward pathway to accessing the exclusive privileges that come with Thailand Privilege membership.”

    For those considering Thailand Privilege membership or current members seeking to understand their benefits better, detailed information about the points system is available at https://siamlegal.thailandprivilege.com/thailand-privilege-points-system/ where the complete redemption guide and tier comparisons can be accessed.

    The guide details the five reward categories available to members: Stay, Travel, Leisure, Health & Well-being, and Wealth. Members can redeem points for luxury hotel nights, domestic flight tickets, spa treatments, legal consultations, and various other premium services. The resource also clarifies that while points do not roll over annually, all rewards maintain uniform pricing across membership tiers, with higher-tier members receiving additional complimentary benefits.

    Thailand Privilege’s updated system replaces the former Elite Visa program structure, introducing more flexibility and customization options for long-term residents and frequent visitors to Thailand. The points system provides benefits not available through other visa programs, such as the Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa or Retirement Visa.

    The guide also addresses frequently asked questions about point transfers between members, adding family members to existing memberships, and the process for acquiring additional points beyond the annual allocation. This information helps members maximize their membership value and plan their benefit usage throughout the calendar year.

    Thailand Privilege, formerly known as Thailand Elite, operates as the country’s premier long-term visa program, offering multiple membership tiers designed to meet diverse residency and travel needs. The program provides not only visa privileges but also exclusive lifestyle benefits that enhance the Thailand experience for international residents and frequent visitors.

  • Strengthening America’s Infrastructure Starts With Verifying The Things We Depend On

    Strengthening America’s Infrastructure Starts With Verifying The Things We Depend On

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / There are moments in history when emerging threats move faster than the systems built to defend against them. Today, we are in one of those moments. As global supply chains grow more complex and interconnected, new forms of infiltration are quietly taking shape inside the very infrastructure that powers modern life. These risks are not theoretical. They are structural, and they are accelerating.

    Recent concerns about compromised devices and unverified components reflect a broader challenge facing every modern nation: critical infrastructure often depends on materials and technologies that pass through lengthy, opaque supply chains before reaching the people who rely on them. In an environment this interconnected, even a single blind spot can become an entry point. That is the issue the world must understand clearly and calmly.

    For years, SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) has worked at the molecular level to help provide that clarity. By embedding identity and traceability directly into materials at the point of origin, SMX enables end-to-end verification that follows a product throughout its entire lifecycle. This ability to authenticate materials is not a concept and not a future aspiration. It is an operational system currently used across industries such as natural rubber, precious metals, recycling, advanced manufacturing, and hardware supply chains.

    These capabilities exist. They are proven. And they are available to any sector that needs them.

    A Global Challenge Without a Villain

    Don’t underestimate the SMX touch points. Every sector can benefit. The vulnerabilities in supply chains and critical infrastructure are not tied to any one actor, nation, or group. In a globalized economy, infiltration can originate from anywhere and travel through any unverified device, material, or component. A system without transparency creates unintentional opportunities for misuse.

    The objective is not to blame or accuse. It is to strengthen resilience.

    Complex supply chains, from consumer products to industrial materials to advanced electronics, now sit at the heart of national stability. Safeguarding these systems requires traceability that starts at the source and verification that is foundational, not superficial.

    Why This Matters Now

    The consequences of a compromised infrastructure reach far beyond inconvenience. Modern society depends on electricity, water systems, transportation networks, logistics, communication platforms, and digital coordination. If any part of this network is disrupted at scale, the effects can cascade rapidly.

    If the grid goes down, essential systems become vulnerable. Gas distribution stops. Water treatment facilities stall. Grocery shelves can empty within days. Hospitals face critical shortages. Truckers struggle to move feedstock. Refrigeration fails. Electric vehicles cannot charge. Before long, millions confront conditions that strain every aspect of modern life.

    These scenarios are not predictions of doom. They are practical examples of why supply chain integrity is essential to national resilience.

    Awareness, Understanding, and the Role of New Tools

    This is why understanding emerging tools matters. SMX’s molecular identity system is already supporting partners across several industries, providing transparent material verification from the outset of the supply chain. It’s proving a vital resource for strengthening resilience wherever it is needed.

    That’s because molecular-level verification does more than improve transparency. It ensures that materials have memory, that supply chains have accountability, and that infrastructure has the foundational protection required for a connected world. These are not theoretical benefits. They are measurable, operational, and available today.

    The risks facing modern infrastructure are real, but so are the technologies capable of mitigating them. This moment calls for clarity, cooperation, and thoughtful engagement across both public and private sectors. Strengthening supply chains is no longer an abstract discussion. It is a practical, achievable step toward safeguarding essential systems.

    The Path Forward

    The path ahead requires more than awareness. It requires decisive steps to strengthen the systems on which modern life depends. Supply chain transparency is no longer a technical preference. It is an essential component of national resilience.

    Infiltration may be a quiet threat, but the solutions are tangible and ready for deployment. Technologies that provide material identity and verification at the source give industries and institutions the tools to reduce risk, reinforce infrastructure, and prepare for an increasingly complex global environment. These are practical measures that can be put to work today, not distant concepts waiting for future progress.

    SMX has built technology designed for this moment, technology that proves resilience is achievable when verification becomes foundational. As the world grows more interconnected, the need to secure what we depend on will only intensify. Strengthening supply chains is not a matter of caution. It is a matter of responsibility.

    The time to act is now.

    About SMX

    As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

  • MDaudit’s 2025 Benchmark Report Reveals Ongoing Acceleration of Payer Audits, Troubling Rise in Denials and Outpatient Coding Issues

    MDaudit’s 2025 Benchmark Report Reveals Ongoing Acceleration of Payer Audits, Troubling Rise in Denials and Outpatient Coding Issues

    Annual analysis points to an urgent need to redefine revenue integrity as proactive protection, while strengthening coding integrity and denial prevention measures.

    WELLESLEY, MA / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / The rate of payer audits accelerated in 2025, with hospital inpatient and outpatient average denial amounts that increased by 14% and 12%, respectively. Denial volumes were also up overall, led by a nearly fivefold increase in Request for Information (RFI) and medical necessity denials for Medicare Advantage plans. The total at-risk amounts, number of claims and average amount per claim increased by 30% in payer audits. Denials related to outpatient coding increased by 26%. These trends send a clear signal to providers that successfully navigating today’s complex financial and regulatory landscape requires prioritizing billing compliance, coding integrity, robust denial prevention strategies, and redefining revenue integrity to ensure sustainability.

    These were among the key findings of the 2025 MDaudit Annual Benchmark Report released today by MDaudit, an award-winning cloud-based continuous risk monitoring platform for RCM that enables the nation’s premier healthcare organizations to minimize billing risks and maximize revenues. The central theme of this year’s report is the evolution of revenue integrity from a defensive stance to a proactive discipline that unites charge capture, coding, billing compliance, and denials management within a connected, data-driven framework.

    “Reactively fixing denials after they occur or addressing compliance findings after the fact is costly and unsustainable,” said Ritesh Ramesh, CEO, MDaudit. “This year’s Benchmark Report clearly demonstrates the urgency behind adopting a unified approach to billing compliance, coding integrity, and denial prevention wherein data intelligence and automation are shared across revenue functions, allowing finance leaders to efficiently shift from managing crises to protecting revenue with foresight and confidence.”

    Key Takeaways

    The new Benchmark Report reveals several trends provider organizations should act on now, and identifies where to focus their attention, investments, and process improvements to safeguard income and manage risk as they enter 2026.

    1. Rising Denial Rates

    The upward trajectory of denial volumes and amounts signals the need for providers to sharpen denial prevention strategies. In 2025, the average denied amount for hospitals rose from $4,730 in 2024 to $5,390 (14%) in outpatient settings, and from $504 to $565 (12%) in inpatient settings. This includes a 70% increase in average denied amounts from RFI and medical necessity denials across all settings. Telehealth-related denials were up 84% in 2025, due primarily to missing information, errors in claim submission, non-covered charges, or duplicate claims

    To reverse these trends, provider organizations need to take steps to monitor denial trends by payer, setting, and claim type and reinforce root-cause analysis of denials, such as coding, documentation, and charge capture. Investing in early-warning tools and audit workflows that catch high-risk claims before submission is also recommended.

    2. Payer Audits Increase

    External payer audits surged again in 2025, with total at-risk amounts and audit cases per customer rising by 30%, and the average amount at risk per claim growing 18%. Of the top payer types, 45% of the at-risk amount was driven by commercial payers, while Medicare and Medicaid accounted for 28%. The average at-risk amount for a payer audit in a hospital setting was approximately $17,000, whereas the average at-risk amount at a professional setting was $1,172.

    Intensified payer scrutiny necessitates faster response times, stronger documentation, and proactive risk management. This can be accomplished by mapping current audit exposure by payer, audit type, and service line, and prioritizing the highest dollar-at-risk claims for review and remediation. Additionally, providers should build robust workflows to manage audit requests, capture documentation, and respond within deadlines to retain revenues.

    3. Outpatient Coding Worsens

    Outpatient coding-related denials increased in 2025, rising 26% after a 126% spike in 2024, signaling their critical vulnerability. To slow this escalation, providers must begin treating coding integrity as a foundational risk area rather than an afterthought. This includes conducting targeted risk-based coding audits in outpatient service lines, focusing on training, review, and oversight of outpatient coding workflows, and ensuring that coding tools, documentation support, and coder oversight align with the heightened scrutiny, governance, and human oversight requirements.

    4. Technology Unlocks Outcomes

    There was a silver lining in the 2025 Benchmark Report: technology- and data-driven approaches are gaining traction and delivering measurable improvements, and revenue integrity teams are increasingly adopting data- and AI-driven approaches to unlock revenue opportunities and mitigate risk. Risk-based audits within the MDaudit platform increased by 25%, and pre-bill audits increased by 30%.

    “Provider organizations that leverage data-driven platforms and deploy real-time, continuous risk monitoring can stay ahead of payers by better understanding real-time billing, coding, and payment trends,” said Ramesh. “This allows them to take proactive action to educate providers and coders while addressing other issues.”

    Looking Ahead

    Technology-including the responsible integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and real-time performance data shared across multiple functions-will continue to play an outsized role in driving competitive advantage and assuring financial resiliency in the year ahead. Integration of autonomous coding, predictive audit sampling, and workflow automation is expected to expand across the industry. Meanwhile:

    • Continuous risk monitoring tools will reduce payer audit response times by half and maintain tighter oversight of at-risk revenue through automation and centralized audit tracking.

    • Pairing automation with intelligent human oversight will drive measurable gains in accuracy, compliance, and speed.

    • AI-powered revenue integrity platforms will result in exponential lifts in operational efficiency and denial overturn success rates.

    The 2025 benchmark data makes clear that the margin for error in billing, coding, and audits has shrunk, and technology is becoming a differentiator,” said Ramesh. “Organizations that adopt analytics, proactive audit/pre-bill workflows, and coding integrity will have a distinct advantage.”

    About the Report

    The MDaudit 2025 Annual Benchmark Report is a comprehensive examination of real-world data representing the first three quarters of 2025, from a network of more than 1.2 million providers and over 4,500 facilities across 40+ states.

  • Dominion Group Properties Expands Access to Experienced Real Estate Services

    Dominion Group Properties Expands Access to Experienced Real Estate Services

    PHOENIX, AZ – November 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Dominion Group Properties, a trusted brokerage based in Phoenix, today announced that its licensed real estate professionals will be available to residents and property investors across additional areas of Maricopa and surrounding counties. This development underscores the company’s ongoing mission to provide comprehensive support for home buyers, sellers, and investors navigating Arizona’s dynamic housing market.

    Dominion Group Properties has been recognized for its hands-on expertise in guiding clients through residential transactions, land sales, investment strategies, and property management for over a decade. Founded in 2010 by Jonathan Baer, the firm has completed over 1,000 successful transactions, representing over $240 million in closed volume. With offices strategically located in Desert Hills and Heber-Overgaard, the company is well-positioned to serve families and individuals across North Phoenix, Anthem, New River, Carefree, Cave Creek, and other fast-growing communities.

    The expansion of services comes as Arizona’s real estate landscape attracts new residents and long-term investors. Strong population growth, a diverse economy, and major infrastructure projects have contributed to steady housing demand in Phoenix and its neighboring areas. By broadening access to skilled agents, Dominion Group Properties aims to meet this demand with localized knowledge and professional guidance.

    “Arizona remains one of the most sought-after destinations for buyers and investors, and our goal has always been to make informed, relationship-driven service available where it’s needed most,” said Jonathan Baer, Broker and Co-Founder of Dominion Group Properties. “By extending our reach into more neighborhoods, we ensure that residents, whether first-time buyers or seasoned investors, have access to knowledgeable representation that reflects both market realities and community values.”

    Real estate agents at Dominion Group Properties are licensed professionals who represent clients in purchasing, selling, or leasing property. Their role includes preparing listings, marketing through multiple listing services (MLS), coordinating open house events, negotiating contracts, and overseeing transactions from offer to closing. In addition, agents often liaise between clients and other key professionals such as appraisers, inspectors, and mortgage lenders, ensuring that every stage of the process is transparent and efficient.

    By making these services available across an expanded service area, Dominion Group Properties is providing residents with greater accessibility to industry expertise. This includes tailored market analyses, neighborhood-level insights, and specialized strategies for different property types, from single-family homes and condominiums to horse properties, luxury estates, and raw land parcels.

    For buyers, having a dedicated agent can mean access to exclusive listings, accurate pricing guidance, and professional negotiation on terms and conditions. Sellers benefit from strategic marketing plans, exposure to qualified buyers, and oversight of complex documentation required in real estate transactions. Investors gain from the firm’s ability to identify opportunities aligned with long-term financial goals, including property management for rental income and portfolio growth.

    Dominion Group Properties also emphasizes personalized service. With more than 30 years of experience in the industry, Jonathan Baer brings a dual perspective as both a broker and a licensed loan officer. This unique combination enables the firm to streamline financing and sales into a cohesive strategy, reducing delays and ensuring smoother closings.

    Communities such as Anthem, Desert Hills, and Carefree have experienced significant development in recent years. Rising employment opportunities, such as those created by advanced manufacturing facilities in North Phoenix, contribute to an influx of residents. With new families arriving and longtime residents seeking to maximize property value, qualified representation is increasingly essential.

    “Every neighborhood has its own rhythm, history, and future potential,” Jonathan Baer noted. “Our job is to connect people with property and help them understand how that property fits into the broader community. That requires local knowledge, something our team has cultivated for decades in Arizona.”

    Dominion Group Properties has built its reputation on relationship-driven practices. Client testimonials consistently highlight qualities such as professionalism, transparent communication, and a commitment to acting in the client’s best interest. The firm’s emphasis on long-term relationships over one-time transactions reflects its guiding philosophy: real estate is not simply about closing deals but about opening doors for lasting opportunities.

    As the Arizona housing market continues evolving, Dominion Group Properties is committed to adapting. Introducing experienced agents to broader service areas ensures that residents have reliable support during what is often one of life’s most significant financial decisions.

    “Our mission has always been to provide thoughtful, informed guidance to clients at every stage of their real estate journey,” Jonathan Baer said. “Whether someone is purchasing their first home, investing in land, or planning for retirement, our role is to simplify the process and safeguard their goals.”

  • Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine Expands Telehealth Services for Urgent Care Access

    Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine Expands Telehealth Services for Urgent Care Access

    MUSCATINE, Iowa – November 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine has expanded its telehealth platform to provide remote medical consultations for patients throughout Muscatine and surrounding Iowa communities. The enhanced service addresses growing demand for accessible healthcare alternatives while reducing unnecessary visits to traditional healthcare facilities.

    The expanded telehealth platform enables patients to receive medical consultations from certified healthcare professionals without leaving their homes. This service complements the facility’s established walk in clinic services, providing patients with multiple options for receiving timely medical attention. The platform operates independently from the facility’s online reservation system and integrates seamlessly with existing medical records to ensure comprehensive care delivery.

    Amana Care Clinic - Muscatine

    Patients can now access virtual consultations for various non-emergency conditions including cold symptoms, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, rashes, and minor injuries. The service provides an initial assessment avenue for patients uncertain about the severity of their symptoms, helping them determine whether in-person care is necessary.

    “The expansion of our telehealth capabilities reflects our commitment to providing accessible healthcare options for the Muscatine community,” said Moutaz Kotob, PhD, Medical Director at Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine. “This service helps reduce unnecessary emergency room visits while ensuring patients receive timely medical attention for their conditions. Many patients with minor illnesses can receive effective treatment through virtual consultations, saving them time and reducing their exposure to other illnesses.”

    The urgent care clinic continues to provide comprehensive in-person services for conditions requiring physical examinations or diagnostic testing. The facility maintains full laboratory services, X-ray capabilities, and treatment options for injuries, infections, childhood illnesses, and sports physicals. Patients requiring immediate attention can still utilize the walk-in services without appointments, experiencing shorter wait times compared to hospital emergency departments.

    The telehealth expansion comes as healthcare facilities nationwide adapt to changing patient preferences and technological advancements. Studies indicate that virtual consultations can effectively address approximately 70 percent of urgent care needs, particularly for routine infections, medication refills, and follow-up appointments.

    The platform’s integration with existing medical records ensures continuity of care between virtual and in-person visits. Healthcare providers can access patient histories, previous diagnoses, and treatment plans during telehealth consultations, maintaining the same standard of care available during physical visits.

    Amana Care Clinic – Muscatine serves as a healthcare resource for residents and businesses throughout the region, offering treatment for abrasions, back discomfort, burns, childhood illnesses, cold symptoms, cuts, ear infections, fractured bones, joint pain, muscle injuries, rashes, sinus infections, and urinary tract infections. The urgent care clinic employs certified professionals skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of urgent care needs, utilizing state-of-the-art procedure rooms, examination facilities, and diagnostic equipment. The clinic provides affordable, convenient medical care as an alternative to emergency room visits for non-life-threatening conditions.
