Profound Medical Inks Exclusive Distribution Agreement for TULSA-PRO® and Sonalleve® with Al Faisaliah Medical Systems in Saudi Arabia

Agreement creates runway for Profound’s incision-free and radiation-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, to penetrate the largest healthcare market in the Middle East

All required regulatory approvals to import and sell Profound’s two advanced ablative technologies in Saudi Arabia are already in place

TORONTO and RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered, MRI-guided, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an exclusive distribution and supply agreement for its TULSA-PRO® and Sonalleve® technologies in Saudi Arabia with Al Faisaliah Medical Systems Co. (“FMS”), a subsidiary of one of the Kingdom’s most prominent business conglomerates, Al Faisaliah Group (“AFG”).

Profound is the only company that combines the real-time imaging and thermography capabilities of magnetic resonance (“MR”) with AI-driven treatment designs to allow physicians to precisely and gently address diseased tissue without any incision, associated tissue boiling or charring, blood loss, severe/prolonged pain, or need for overnight hospital stay.

U.S. commercialization of TULSA-PRO, designed specifically for the treatment of prostate disease (prostate cancer and/or benign prostatic hyperplasia, “BPH”), remains the top priority for the Company’s direct sales team. The TULSA Procedure, performed using Profound’s TULSA-PRO system, is a significant advancement in prostate care. Instead of surgery or radiation, the TULSA procedure is performed inside an MRI suite to precisely and gently heat prostate tissue to ‘kill temperature’ (55-57°C) with directional ultrasound, while protecting surrounding nerves and anatomy. By intention-to-treat, while TULSA-PRO has the flexibility to be used for all ablations, including focal and hemi-gland, the majority of TULSA Procedures are either whole-gland or near-whole-gland ablations. In late 2024, the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued its outpatient prospective payment system (OPPS) final rule (“Final Rule”) for the three new CPT® Category 1 codes and their descriptors covering the TULSA procedure, which became effective on January 1, 2025. With the Final Rule, TULSA reimbursement was established at Urology Level 7 Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC). To-date, more than 4,000 men have undergone the TULSA Procedure, and as of last report (October 2025), Profound’s TULSA-PRO installed base stood at 67 systems.

Profound’s second product, Sonalleve, which is offered primarily as a one-time capital sale, is also gaining increasing commercial interest, particularly outside of the United States. Sonalleve uses the same MR imaging and thermographic technology as TULSA-PRO, and combines that with focused ultrasound from outside the body to treat disease. There are currently ten Sonalleve devices operational in parts of Europe, China and Southeast Asia – where over 4,000 women have already been treated with the technology for adenomyosis and uterine fibroids, diseases of the uterus that can cause chronic pain and heavy and/or prolonged menstruations. Treatment with Sonalleve has demonstrated pain and symptom relief without affecting the ovarian reserve, and with reports of women preserving their fertility. Sonalleve is also now being used in research and clinical trials in Europe for the ablation of pancreatic cancer tissue and other oncological disease. Over the last five years, approximately $10 million has been granted by research organizations in Europe and Canada to further conduct clinical research using Sonalleve for multiple, often life-threatening, diseases.

As user interest in Profound’s technologies continues to build, the Company is deploying its own direct sales team in North America, while partnering with select strategic distribution partners to support the business potential and the customer base in other parts of the world.

“We’re honored to partner for the distribution of both TULSA-PRO and Sonalleve with FMS, one of the leading medical device distributors in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,” commented Profound’s CEO and Chairman, Arun Menawat. “Successfully marketing and distributing our incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue requires a deep understanding of regional market dynamics and the specific needs of local clinicians and patients. With its proven track record in introducing advanced oncological procedures and other medical technologies in the Kingdom, we’re confident that FMS is the ideal partner for us.”

FMS’ GM, Mr. Abdullah Al Melik, said, “As Saudi Arabia moves toward economic diversification under Vision 2030, both FMS and our parent company, AFG, are committed to playing a crucial role in shaping the country’s future. The group is a major provider of equipment and services to existing hospitals, and also actively owns and operates its own specialized medical facilities. With our partnership with Profound, we’re extremely excited to bring its unique, incision- and radiation-free ablative technologies to Saudi hospitals and treatment centers that aim to be worldwide leaders in patient outcomes. We look forward to working closely with the Profound team.”

About with Al Faisaliah Medical Systems Co.

Founded in 1973, FMS was initially the healthcare division of AFG, until its establishment as an independent company in 1993. Its broad portfolio of partners and products enables it to deliver complex, integrated, single-source healthcare equipment solutions to the largest healthcare providers in the region.

About Profound Medical Corp.

Profound is a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets AI-powered, MRI-guided, incision-free therapies for the ablation of diseased tissue.

Profound is commercializing TULSA-PRO®, a technology that combines real-time MRI, AI-enhanced planning, robotically-driven transurethral ultrasound and closed-loop temperature feedback control. The TULSA Procedure, performed using the TULSA-PRO system, has the potential of becoming a mainstream treatment modality across the entire prostate disease spectrum; ranging from low-, intermediate-, or high-risk prostate cancer; to hybrid patients suffering from both prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”); to men with BPH only; and also, to patients requiring salvage therapy for radio-recurrent localized prostate cancer. The TULSA Procedure employs real-time MR guidance for precision to preserve patients’ urinary continence and sexual function, while killing the targeted prostate tissue via precise sound absorption technology that gently heats it to 55-57°C. The TULSA Procedure is an incision- and radiation-free “one-and-done” procedure performed in a single session that takes a few hours. Virtually all prostate shapes and sizes can be safely, effectively, and efficiently treated with the TULSA Procedure. There is no bleeding associated with the procedure; no hospital stay is required; and most TULSA patients report quick recovery to their normal routine. TULSA-PRO is CE marked, Health Canada approved, and 510(k) cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).

Profound is also commercializing Sonalleve®, an innovative therapeutic platform that is CE marked for the treatment of uterine fibroids, adenomyosis, pain palliation of bone metastases, desmoid tumors and osteoid osteoma. Sonalleve has also been approved by the China National Medical Products Administration for the non-invasive treatment of uterine fibroids and has FDA approval under a Humanitarian Device Exemption for the treatment of osteoid osteoma. Profound is in the early stages of exploring additional potential treatment markets for Sonalleve where the technology has been shown to have clinical application, such as non-invasive ablation of abdominal cancers and hyperthermia for cancer therapy.

Industry leaders convene at Morocco’s second Showcase Summit to address 2030 hospitality supply opportunities

Ahead of the 2025 Morocco Showcase Summit, industry leaders assess the kingdom’s readiness for 2030, analyzing investment and strategies to match demand

CASABLANCA, MOROCCO – EQS Newswire – 11 November 2025 – As hospitality and investment leaders prepare to gather at the Marriott Hotel in Casablanca for the Morocco Showcase Summit on November 19-20, 2025, a critical question takes center stage: Is Morocco’s hospitality supply growth keeping pace with its rapid infrastructure development and ambitious 2030 tourism targets?

With the nation poised to co-host the 2030 FIFA World Cup, the spotlight is on identifying investment strategies to fill the impending hospitality gap.

Morocco’s significant infrastructure advancements are creating new destinations and enhancing existing ones, demanding a parallel expansion in quality hospitality supply to accommodate the influx of visitors.

International hotel groups are answering the call.

Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is leveraging its diverse brand portfolio to bridge the supply gap. “We are committed to supporting Morocco’s Vision 2030 by expanding access to quality and affordable branded accommodation across both established and emerging destinations,” says Govind Mundra, head of development for Middle East & Africa at Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “With our diverse portfolio of 25 brands and our Owner First franchising approach, we work closely with local developers to deliver trusted international standards that enhance Morocco’s hospitality offering.”

Wyndham’s strategy includes expanding its current presence in Moroccan cities, such as Fes and Tangier, into key cities like Casablanca, Marrakesh, and Rabat, with advanced discussions underway for new projects.

Similarly, Radisson Hotel Group has significantly elevated its ambitions. “We’ve lifted our Morocco ambition to 30 hotels by 2030, building on an already robust development pipeline and tightening our city-plus-coast focus,” says Erwan Garnier, Senior Director of Development, Africa at Radisson Hotel Group. The strategy involves “strengthening Casablanca and Marrakech while building out Rabat, Tangier, Agadir, and Fez with a mix of business hotels, serviced apartments, mixed-use projects, and resorts that track the country’s airport, rail, and stadium upgrades to 2030.”

For Radisson, the opportunity is clear. “Record tourism and the 2030 World Cup are concentrating demand along key corridors as airports expand and a new 115,000-seat stadium comes online,” Garnier notes.

For management companies like Aleph Hospitality, scaling operations is key to supporting this growth. A deeper, more responsive local presence is central to Aleph’s plan. “To better serve all hotels under our management in Morocco, we will be opening a regional office in the first quarter of 2026,” reveals Bani Haddad, Founder & MD of Aleph Hospitality. “This office will be led by a regional Vice President based in Morocco, who will drive development efforts, enhance operational performance, and ensure faster responsiveness to owners.”

This expansion is fuelled by strong investor relationships. Aleph Hospitality notes that more than 60% of its existing owners entrust multiple properties to its management, a testament to a trust-based approach focused on long-term value creation.

Beyond accommodation, the entire hospitality ecosystem requires investment. TGP International, known for its expertise in food and beverage (F&B) strategy for mega-events, is exploring opportunities to support Morocco’s tourism and hospitality value chain through strategic F&B planning and concept development.

“From F&B master planning for mega events to developing world-class restaurant concepts within hotels, our work explores emerging areas such as food halls, wellness F&B and gastrotourism to build ecosystems that strengthen the wider hospitality network,” says Simon Wright, Founder and Chairman of TGP International. He emphasizes that strategic F&B can “not only enhance the guest experience but also express national identity and cultural pride on the global stage.”

The consensus is clear: Morocco’s infrastructure growth presents an unparalleled opportunity. The path to 2030 will be paved by a collaborative effort from global brands, dedicated management companies, strategic consultants, and a diverse network of investors.

Saudi Arabia Joins Global Framework for Close-Out Netting

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Nov. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) has published its legal opinions that recognize the enforceability of close-out netting in Saudi Arabia, a move that provides global financial institutions with greater legal certainty when transacting in the Kingdom’s Derivatives Market. The decision follows the Capital Market Authority’s (CMA) issuance of the (Close-out Netting and related Collateral Arrangements Regulation) this year.

Close-out netting allows counterparties in a qualified financial contract to offset their obligations if one party defaults, leaving only a single net payment due. Thus, reducing systemic risk and ensures the orderly settlement of contracts. Additionally, its enforceability determines whether international investors can manage their exposures efficiently.

The CMA regulation that was published establishes a legal recognition of netting and related Financial collateral arrangements where one party is a capital market institution. It also aims to enhance the stability of the financial system and protect investors by ensuring the enforceability of a qualified financial contracts thereby safeguarding the rights of all parties involved.

Mr. Raed Alhumaid, CMA Deputy for Market Institutions, said that the development reflects Saudi Arabia’s ongoing effort to strengthen the foundations of its financial system. He added, “We welcome ISDA’s legal opinions that recognize the enforceability of close-out netting in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, following the issuance of our (Close-out Netting and Related Collateral Arrangements Regulation) this year.”

For international institutions, the recognition of enforceable netting in Saudi Arabia reduces counterparty uncertainty and supports broader participation in the local derivatives markets, creating the legal foundation necessary for market depth and liquidity growth.

It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia’s derivatives market was launched in 2020 with the MT30 Index Futures, followed by single stock futures (SSF) in 2022 and single stock options (SSO) in 2023. These instruments expanded investors’ ability to hedge and manage risk. The enforceable netting framework strengthens this market by ensuring greater legal certainty in derivatives transactions and supporting its continued growth and stability.

The CMA noted in its press release that the regulation includes a set of provisions governing close-out netting and associated collateral arrangements, defines its scope of application and the entities subject to it, and defines qualified financial contracts and transactions that would be exempt from the provisions of the Bankruptcy Law. This step is expected to contribute to enhancing the stability and sustainability of the Kingdom’s financial sector and the overall capital market framework.

On October 6, 2025, North Atlantic announced that the price per Esso S.A.F. share of €149.19 would be reduced to €85.18 reflecting (i) a €11.01 downward adjustment for the change in the euro value of Esso S.A.F.’s inventory relative to its value as of December 31, 2024 and (ii) a €53.00 downward adjustment corresponding to the ordinary dividend and the extraordinary dividend paid by Esso S.A.F. on July 10, 2025.

In addition, taking into account the €60.21 per share extraordinary distribution to be paid on November 14, 2025 by Esso S.A.F., following shareholder approval obtained on November 4, 2025 at Esso S.A.F.’s Combined General Meeting, the €85.18 price per share will be further reduced to €24.97.

     Assuming a closing on November 28, 2025, North Atlantic and ExxonMobil have agreed to definitively settle between themselves, on a lump-sum basis, the amount of the price adjustments provided for in the Share Purchase Agreement and to set the price per share to be paid to ExxonMobil at €26.19.1

     On this basis, the price to be paid to Esso S.A.F.’s minority shareholders in the mandatory tender offer for the remaining Esso S.A.F. shares that North Atlantic intends to file before the end of the year is set at €28.932 per share, corresponding to a difference of approximately 10.46% over the price per share paid to ExxonMobil.

Change of corporate name of Esso S.A.F

As resolved at Esso S.A.F.’s Combined General Meeting on November 4, 2025 and subject to completion of the Transaction, Esso S.A.F. will be renamed “North Atlantic Energies.”

North Atlantic reiterates its commitment to delivering a comprehensive and well-managed transition, with the intention to maintain employment and existing compensation and benefits.

1 For the avoidance of doubt, if closing does not occur on November 28, 2025, the price per share to be paid to ExxonMobil will have to be recalculated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Purchase Agreement entered into between ExxonMobil and North Atlantic on September 24, 2025. These adjustments are described in the press release issued by North Atlantic on 6 October 2025. As a reminder (excluding the adjustment referred to in note 2 below, which does not affect the price paid as part of the tender offer), these adjustments relate to:

  • an upward adjustment by a ticking fee mechanism corresponding to accrued interest on (i) a first base amount of €362,000,000 at an interest rate based on the euro short-term rate (ESTR) plus 2% per annum between March 2, 2025 (included) and the closing date (excluded), and (ii) a second base amount of €950,000,000 at a rate of 2.4% per annum between March 2, 2025 (included) and the closing date (excluded);
  • an upward adjustment reflecting an after tax impact amount of (i) the sale to the ExxonMobil group of Esso S.A.F.’s lubricants and specialties marketing business for an estimated price of €8 million (including €3 million for inventories, to be further adjusted at the closing date) and (ii) the sale to the ExxonMobil group of certain trademarks and other intellectual property rights of Esso S.A.F. for an amount of €20 million.

2 This price difference results from the exclusion, with regard to the price paid to the minority shareholders, of the impact of the downward adjustment on the price payable to ExxonMobil with respect to losses relating to post-closing social liabilities as previously announced on September 24, 2025.

2025 JETOUR Media Alliance Tech Tour Concludes Successfully

Media workshop on future hybrid off-road mobility

Media workshop on future hybrid off-road mobility

WAHU, China, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The 2025 JETOUR Media Alliance (JMA) Tech Tour successfully concluded in Wuhu, Anhui Province. The event brought together representatives from leading automotive media worldwide at JETOUR’s headquarters. Through a series of technology immersions, workshops, and test drives, participants gained a systematic understanding of JETOUR’s latest advancements in new energy and hybrid off-road technologies, as well as its global strategy.

Demonstrating Technical Strength: The GAIA Architecture Defines Next-Generation Hybrid Off-Road

A core component of the Tech Tour was a comprehensive presentation of GAIA architecture. This architecture integrates four core modules — the GAIA Platform, GAIA Cockpit, GAIA Pilot, and GAIA Travel+ — and was engineered to meet the all-terrain mobility demands of the new energy era.

The G700, an all-terrain premium hybrid off-road SUV built on the GAIA Architecture, became the centerpiece of the event.

During the first global media test-drive, the G700 won broad recognition for its robust power delivery and intelligent control systems, fully demonstrating JETOUR’s technical credibility and brand confidence in the premium hybrid off-road segment.

Amplifying Global Voices: JMA Deepens Collaboration

The Tech Tour also marked a significant milestone in the collaboration within the JETOUR Media Alliance (JMA). During the event, JETOUR organized multiple workshops for in-depth exchanges with global media.

This combination of seminars and hands-on experiences provided guests with a more intuitive grasp of JETOUR’s technical roadmap and strategic direction in the hybrid off-road field. Many noted that the G700 achieves an exceptional balance of performance, intelligence, and efficiency, highlighting its strong competitive edge in markets like the Middle East and Africa, where long range and superior off-road capability are paramount. Media representatives from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Chile also shared valuable local user feedback on off-road performance, range, and intelligent features, providing crucial insights for JETOUR’s ongoing product refinement and globalization.

With the G700 poised for its global debut, JETOUR is accelerating toward its vision of becoming the world’s leading hybrid off-road brand. Backed by a “6+N” global R&D system and a team of 4,000 innovators, the brand now operates in 91 countries and regions with 8 overseas subsidiaries — strengthening its global network and redefining hybrid off-road standards worldwide.
