mCOMBRIAX is the world’s first flu plus COVID combination vaccine to receive a positive CHMP opinion recommending marketing authorization and represents Moderna’s fourth vaccine to receive a positive CHMP opinion

mCOMBRIAX will be made available in the European Union, subject to final European Commission authorization and national regulatory and access procedures

CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2026 / Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today announced that the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) has adopted a positive opinion recommending marketing authorization in the European Union for mCOMBRIAX^® (mRNA-1083), Moderna’s combination vaccine indicated for active immunization for the prevention of influenza and COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 in individuals 50 years of age and older.

“The CHMP’s positive opinion represents an important milestone for respiratory virus vaccination and for Moderna, with the introduction of the world’s first flu plus COVID combination vaccine. If approved, this would be Moderna’s fourth marketed product in Europe,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “Combination vaccines have the potential to simplify vaccination and support improved health outcomes. We appreciate the EMA’s rigorous scientific review.”

mCOMBRIAX builds on the advances of mNEXSPIKE^®, Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine, and mRNA-1010, Moderna’s investigational seasonal influenza vaccine, which has been accepted for review in the United States, the European Union, Canada and Australia.

The CHMP opinion is supported by results from the pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT06097273), a randomized, observer-blind, active-controlled study evaluating the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of mRNA-1083 in two independent age cohorts of approximately 4,000 adults each. One cohort included adults 65 years of age and older and compared mRNA-1083 to co-administered Fluzone HD^® (licensed in the European Union as Efluelda^®), a high-dose influenza vaccine, and Spikevax^®, Moderna’s licensed COVID-19 vaccine. The second cohort included adults 50 to 64 years of age and compared mRNA-1083 to co-administered Fluarix^®, a standard-dose influenza vaccine, and Spikevax.

All primary endpoints demonstrating the non-inferiority of immune responses were met. Following a single dose, mRNA-1083 elicited statistically significantly higher immune responses against three influenza virus strains (A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B/Victoria) and against SARS-CoV-2 in both age cohorts. The B/Yamagata strain, which is no longer recommended for inclusion in seasonal influenza vaccines, was the only strain for which a statistically significantly higher immune response was not observed for adults 65 years of age and older compared to the co-administered licensed comparator vaccines.^[1]

mRNA-1083 demonstrated an acceptable safety and tolerability profile. The majority of solicited adverse reactions were grade 1 or 2 in severity and consistent with the licensed vaccines used in the trial.

Following the CHMP’s positive opinion, the European Commission will consider the recommendation and is expected to adopt a final decision on marketing authorization. Once the European Commission approves a product, the marketing authorization is valid in all EU Member States as well as in the European Economic Area (EEA) countries of Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. Upon European Commission approval, Moderna will work with national regulatory and health authorities to support local access and implementation.

SAN BERNARDINO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2026 / Dateline Resources Limited (ASX:DTR)(OTCQB:DTREF)(FSE:YE1) (Dateline or the Company) is pleased to announce it has strategically acquired a new project, the Music Valley HREE Project (Music Valley), located in Riverside County, California, USA. Music Valley consists of 57 claims totaling 1,140 acres.

Highlights

• Music Valley heavy rare earths (HREE) acquisition: Dateline has secured the Music Valley HREE Project, comprising 57 claims over 1,140 acres in the Music Valley area of California.

• HREE prospectivity: Historical United States Geological Survey (USGS) work describes HREE mineralization hosted in xenotime within the biotite-rich Pinto Gneiss, with a fractionated HREE signature.

• Historical grades reported: USGS rock chip results reported 6.69%-15.04% TREO in the region, including high Yttrium and Dysprosium grades.

• Rock Chip Sampling and Geophysics: The Company intends to undertake mapping, geochemistry and geophysics to define drill targets at Music Valley.

• Strategic investment: As part of the acquisition terms, Dateline has completed a US$1.0 million investment in Fermi Critical Minerals Inc. (Fermi) intended to accelerate exploration across Fermi’s uranium and rare earth portfolio.

• Scale and pipeline leverage: Fermi has eight projects at different stages of exploration and development, with a pipeline of catalysts across uranium and REE projects in the United States.

Dateline’s Managing Director, Stephen Baghdadi, commented:

“Music Valley gives Dateline direct exposure to heavy rare earth mineralization in California with historically reported high-grade TREO results and strong heavy rare earth enrichment.

“Our US$1 million investment in Fermi provides additional leverage to a substantial U.S. uranium and rare earth portfolio, including drill-permitted projects in Wyoming and Colorado.

“This transaction enhances Dateline’s exposure to gold, uranium, light and heavy rare earths within the United States at a time when domestic supply chains are increasingly strategic.”

Music Valley Heavy Rare Earths Project

The project is located approximately eight miles southeast of Twentynine Palms in Riverside County, California and covers the main geological units and drainages highlighted in historical USGS sampling programs.

Strategic Significance

Rare Light rare earth elements (LREEs) such as neodymium and praseodymium are essential to high-performance permanent magnets used in electric vehicles, wind turbines and advanced motors. Heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) such as dysprosium and terbium enhance magnet strength and heat resistance and are critical to defence systems, advanced electronics and next-generation energy technologies, yet global production and processing remain heavily concentrated outside the United States.

With supply chain security now a national priority, HREEs represent a strategic gap in the U.S. critical minerals landscape. Through its California rare earth portfolio, including the Music Valley Heavy Rare Earth Project and the Colosseum, located near the Mountain Pass rare earths mine, Dateline is positioning itself to contribute to both LREE and HREE demand growth while supporting a more secure and diversified domestic supply chain.

Geological Setting

Rare earth mineralization in the broader Music Valley area was first identified in 1954 by USGS geologists. USGS mapping shows the Music Valley area is underlain by Proterozoic to Palaeozoic metasedimentary rocks intruded by granitic and alkaline igneous bodies. These units are overlain locally by Tertiary volcanic and sedimentary sequences. Faulting and fracturing are widespread and control fluid movement and mineral deposition.

USGS studies describe rare earth mineralisation associated with alkaline intrusive rocks, altered volcanic units, and reworked sedimentary materials. Heavy rare earth elements occur within accessory minerals such as xenotime, monazite, and other REE phosphates.

USGS Rock Chip and Sample Results

USGS rock chip and sediment sampling across Music Valley returned anomalous total rare earth element values with elevated proportions of heavy rare earths¹. Several samples reported enrichment in dysprosium, terbium, yttrium, and ytterbium relative to light rare earth elements. The geochemical signature reflects fractionated rare earth systems consistent with heavy rare earth dominant mineralisation.

Table 1: USGS rock chip sampling results from Pinto Gneiss in the region¹

Element	Concentration (wt percent)	Stoichiometric Equivalent (%)1
Yttrium	3.50 – 8.80% Y	4.44 – 11.18% Y2O3
Lanthanum	0.26 – 0.34% La	0.30 – 0.40% La2O3
Cerium	0.47 – 0.94% Ce	0.55 – 1.10% CeO2

Exploration Rationale

Dateline’s exploration model for the Music Valley HREE Project focuses on:

• Documented heavy rare earth enrichment from USGS sampling,

• Favourable alkaline and altered host rocks,

• Structural controls which concentrate mineralised fluids and sediments, and

• Potential for near surface mineralisation.

Planned Work

In order to build up a ‘stacked evidence’ model prior to drilling, the initial work programs will include:

• Detailed geological mapping,

• Confirmatory rock chip and soil sampling,

• Review and integration of historical USGS datasets, and

• Geophysical surveys to define subsurface targets.

Dateline considers the Music Valley area to be highly prospective and is working to expand the project area through further acquisitions and/or claim staking.

The planned work program at the Music Valley Project will be funded from the existing cash balance of over $53M.

Strategic investment in Fermi Critical Minerals Inc.

As part of the acquisition terms of the Music Valley HREE Project, Dateline has completed a US$1.0 million strategic equity investment in Fermi. Fermi is raising a total of US$4 million from investors. On completion of the capital raise by Fermi, Dateline will own four million shares out of a total of approximately 45 million shares on issue. Fermi intends to use the funds to accelerate exploration across its U.S. mining portfolio, including drilling on priority uranium targets, additional geophysical surveys, systematic sampling on rare earth properties, technical/modelling work and working capital/regulatory advancement.

Further details on the Fermi project portfolio can be found at https://fermiuranium.com/

Transaction Summary – Total outlay of US$1.05M

Component	What Dateline secured	Key attributes
Music Valley HREE Project (California)	100% of the Music Valley claim package	57 claims; 1,140 acres; HREE prospectivity; xenotime-hosted mineralization within Pinto Gneiss; historical USGS results reported up to 15.04% TREO
Strategic equity investment in Fermi Critical Minerals Inc. (U.S. uranium & REE portfolio)	4 million Fully Paid Ordinary shares in Fermi, exposure to a multi-asset project portfolio	Eight projects 785 federal claims; 11 Wyoming State leases; drill-permitted/near-permitted assets including New Fork Valley & Pitchfork

Additional Gold Upside Potential

The Music Valley area was also historically mined for gold, with dozens of small-scale adits and shafts developed in the area. Most of this activity occurred prior to 1920 so there is only limited information available with regards to tonnes and grade. Whilst rare earths will be the primary target at Music Valley, mapping, rock chip sampling and geochemistry will also assess the gold potential of the region.

Figure 3 shows the historic gold prospects in the Mindat database.

Toronto’s skyline continues to evolve as office-to-residential conversions gain momentum.

TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESS Newswire / February 27, 2026 / As Canada’s major cities grapple with a dual crisis – a deepening housing shortage and a glut of vacant downtown office towers – a growing number of developers and policymakers are turning to a powerful, underutilized solution: adaptive reuse. The conversion of commercial office buildings into residential units is emerging as one of the most promising strategies to accelerate housing supply while revitalizing urban cores that have struggled since the pandemic reshuffled workplace habits.

Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi, President & CEO of Sky Property Group Inc., has been watching this trend closely – and believes it represents one of the defining real estate opportunities of the decade.

“Canada is sitting on a tremendous untapped asset,” said Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi. “We have millions of square feet of underperforming office inventory in cities like Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, and Vancouver, and at the same time, we have hundreds of thousands of families who cannot find an affordable place to live. Adaptive reuse isn’t just creative development – it’s common sense urban planning.”

The Scale of the Problem – and the Opportunity

According to data from CBRE Canada, national office vacancy rates in 2025 reached their highest levels in over three decades, hovering near 18% nationally and exceeding 25% in some downtown submarkets. Calgary, long battered by the oil and gas sector’s volatility, has led the country in office-to-residential conversions, with more than 20 projects already completed or underway through its Downtown Development Incentive Program.

Toronto, Canada’s largest city and a global financial hub, is beginning to follow suit. With downtown office vacancy climbing above 17% and the city facing a projected shortfall of more than 285,000 housing units over the next decade, the case for conversion has never been stronger.

“The fundamentals are aligning,” said Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi of Sky Property Group. “You have distressed asset owners who need an exit, municipalities desperate for housing supply, and a federal government finally willing to remove GST on new purpose-built residential conversions. This is the moment developers need to move strategically.”

Federal Policy Is Opening the Door

The federal government’s decision to eliminate the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the conversion of commercial properties to residential use – first announced in late 2023 and refined through subsequent budgets – has been a catalyst for renewed developer interest. The policy applies to projects where buildings are substantially renovated and converted, making previously marginal projects financially viable.

Several provinces have followed with their own complementary incentives. Ontario has streamlined certain permitting pathways for adaptive reuse applications, while British Columbia has introduced density bonusing programs to encourage mixed-use conversions in transit-adjacent corridors.

“Government incentives matter enormously, but they only work if the private sector is ready to execute,” noted Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi. “At Sky Property Group, we’ve spent years developing the land assembly and zoning expertise that positions us to move quickly on opportunities like this. Speed and precision are competitive advantages in adaptive reuse.”

The Development Challenges Are Real – and Solvable

Office-to-residential conversion is not without its complexities. Structural differences between commercial and residential buildings – including floor plate depths, core placement, plumbing infrastructure, and natural light access – can make conversions technically challenging and expensive. Deep-floorplate buildings, common in 1970s and 1980s office towers, can be particularly difficult to adapt into livable residential suites.

Yet innovative developers are finding solutions. Some projects are carving interior courtyards into existing buildings to bring natural light to central units. Others are using creative floor plan configurations – such as micro-suites, co-living models, and hybrid commercial-residential uses at grade – to maximize the viability of otherwise awkward floor plans.

“The engineering challenges are real, but they’re not insurmountable,” said Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi. “Every building has its own fingerprint. The key is doing rigorous due diligence on the front end – structural assessments, mechanical feasibility, zoning analysis – so you’re not discovering problems after you’ve committed capital. We’ve built our process around that discipline.”

She added that working closely with municipal planning departments early in the process is essential. “Adaptive reuse projects that succeed are the ones where the developer and the city are genuinely aligned on outcomes. We’re not just building units – we’re helping cities reimagine what their downtowns can be.”

A Path to Diverse Housing Typologies

One of the underappreciated benefits of office-to-residential conversion is the potential to deliver housing typologies that the market sorely needs. Rather than adding more luxury condominiums to already saturated towers, adaptive reuse projects can be designed to deliver rental units at a range of price points, including affordable and below-market units, particularly when paired with public subsidies or non-profit partners.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has increasingly recognized this, expanding access to its low-cost financing programs – including the Apartment Construction Loan Program and the Affordable Housing Fund – to include qualifying adaptive reuse projects. This access to patient capital at concessional rates can dramatically improve project economics.

“What excites me most about adaptive reuse is the chance to add genuine diversity to Canada’s housing stock,” said Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi. “We’ve been stuck in a condo-heavy development cycle for too long. Converting office towers gives us the chance to deliver rental apartments, affordable units, and family-sized suites that Canadian cities desperately need. That’s a legacy worth building.”

Looking Ahead: A New Chapter for Canadian Urban Cores

As remote and hybrid work continue to reshape demand for commercial space, the wave of office-to-residential conversion is expected to accelerate through the late 2020s. Cities from Halifax to Victoria are exploring how to update zoning bylaws, streamline approvals, and design incentive programs that make conversions attractive to private capital.

For developers like Sky Property Group Inc., the opportunity is clear – but so is the responsibility.

“Canada’s housing crisis didn’t happen overnight, and it won’t be solved overnight,” said Ladan Hosseinzadeh Sadeghi. “But adaptive reuse is one of the fastest, most impactful tools we have. It takes existing buildings, existing infrastructure, and existing urban fabric – and it transforms them into homes. That’s what this industry should be doing right now.”
