Cosmos Health Highlights Approximately $15 Million Fair Market Value of Real Estate Assets, Exceeding Current Market Capitalization; Evaluates Monetization Options to Address Significant Discount to Book Value

Cosmos Health Highlights Approximately $15 Million Fair Market Value of Real Estate Assets, Exceeding Current Market Capitalization; Evaluates Monetization Options to Address Significant Discount to Book Value

CHICAGO, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cosmos Health Inc. (“Cosmos Health” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group, today highlighted the intrinsic value of its wholly owned real estate portfolio and announced that it is evaluating strategic monetization options to unlock shareholder value.

Based on independent valuation reports, recent market data, and comparable transactions, management estimates the combined fair market value of the Company’s Cana Laboratories (“Cana”) manufacturing facility and CosmoFarm logistics center at approximately $15 million. This estimate reflects the value of the land and buildings only and excludes the value of machinery and equipment housed within the facilities.

The estimated value reflects favourable macro conditions in the Greek property market. According to Bank of Greece data, residential property prices in Greece have surpassed their 2008 pre-financial crisis peak and reached record highs. Commercial real estate, including office, retail, and logistics segments, has also experienced sustained pricing and rental growth in key urban centers, particularly in Athens.

The estimated fair market value of the Company’s real estate assets exceeds the Company’s current market capitalization, which stood at approximately $13.5 million as of the close of trading on February 17, 2026.

Cana Laboratories – Neo Iraklio, Athens

Cana Laboratories – Neo Iraklio, Athens

The Cana property comprises a land plot of approximately 54,000 square feet and a total constructed building area of approximately 35,700 square feet. Based on the applicable building coefficient, the site allows for additional buildable capacity, subject to zoning and regulatory approvals. The property is wholly owned by the Company and is free of any mortgage or other encumbrances.

It is strategically located in Neo Iraklio, a well-established northern suburb of Athens with strong residential density and developed commercial activity. The property offers direct access to Attiki Odos, one of the primary highway arteries serving the greater Athens metropolitan area, and is within a short drive of Athens International Airport, central Athens, and surrounding business districts. It is also located just minutes from The Mall Athens, one of the largest enclosed shopping malls in Greece. Beyond its current pharmaceutical manufacturing and research and development use, the property’s location supports meaningful alternative use potential.

CosmoFarm Logistics Center – Peristeri, Athens
CosmoFarm Logistics Center – Peristeri, Athens

The CosmoFarm facility is wholly owned by the Company, consists of approximately 29,100 square feet, and is located in Peristeri, a densely populated municipality in western Athens with strong infrastructure and transport connectivity. The property currently operates as a pharmaceutical wholesale and distribution hub for Cosmos Health’s logistics subsidiary, CosmoFarm, and incorporates advanced automation and robotic systems supporting inventory management and order execution.

Strategic Optionality
At the current trading levels, the Company’s market capitalization reflects a significant discount to its reported book value (stockholders’ equity) of $23.1 million as of Q3 2025. In this context, the estimated value of the Company’s real estate portfolio represents capital that is substantial relative to its public equity value. Monetization, if pursued at or near estimated fair market value, could generate proceeds comparable to, or exceeding, the Company’s current public float.

Potential alternatives under consideration may include an outright sale, joint venture structures, sale leaseback transactions, or other strategic arrangements, subject to market conditions. Proceeds, if realized, may be used for debt reduction, reinvestment into core growth initiatives, acquisitions, or shareholder value-enhancing actions.

Greg Siokas, CEO of Cosmos Health, stated: “We believe there is a meaningful disconnect between our current valuation and the intrinsic value of our assets, with our real estate assets alone worth more than our entire market capitalization. These strategically located properties provide meaningful financial optionality. As a diversified, vertically integrated pharmaceutical company, we have a clear mission in the healthcare space. If monetizing non-core real estate assets can unlock substantial value, we will evaluate such opportunities carefully and decisively, and act accordingly.”

Aaptiv Launches New MSK App in Partnership With movr

Movement Health Solution Provides Clinical-Grade Care for Musculoskeletal Pain and Recovery

CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Aaptiv, a leading fitness and wellness platform for employers, today announced the national launch of AaptivMSK, a new musculoskeletal (MSK) health app offered in partnership with movr, delivering personalized, mobility-focused movement programs for employees.

Available through an easy-to-use app, AaptivMSK provides targeted care plans for employees experiencing, or at risk of developing, MSK issues, the number one driver of employer medical claims. Common MSK problems, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain frequently limit mobility and significantly affect employee performance and well-being.

Shift Toward Better Movement Health

“MSK pain is a common and expensive problem for employers and health plans,” said Roy Simmons, President of Aaptiv. “Movement health is the answer. It’s not just about exercising more; it’s about improving mobility, stability, strength, and balance so individuals can move and function better in daily life, with less pain and lower risk of injury.”

Simmons added, “When people can’t move comfortably, or they’re in pain, everything suffers— productivity, absenteeism, and healthcare costs. By partnering with movr, we’re bringing clinical-grade MSK care into an accessible platform that helps employees move better, feel better, and stay more active for the long term.”

A Continuum of Support: From Prevention to Recovery

With the addition of AaptivMSK, the Aaptiv platform integrates physical fitness, wellness, and targeted MSK support into a single, user-friendly experience powered by PEAR Health Labs technology. With mobility-focused programs designed for busy schedules, employees can improve MSK function in as little as five minutes a day.

Highlights include:

  • Self-guided movement assessments to identify risk areas before pain escalates
  • Clinically validated programming that improves range of motion and functional stability
  • Personalized care plans that address specific areas like lower back, neck or shoulders, and adapt based on user feedback to ensure appropriate intensity and progression over time
  • Easy integration with existing wellness programs, with measurable ROI through reduced claims and improved engagement metrics

movr: Movement Science for Everyday Fitness

“Organizations are demanding preventive MSK care that actually prevents the need for reactive and costly treatment,” said Aaron de Jong, Co-Founder of movr. “We trained and refined our MSK prescription algorithm on over 100,000 people to identify the best corrective care path to improve the issues that affect nearly half the population, so problems can be addressed earlier, before they escalate.”

De Jong added, “When mobility is integrated into everyday fitness, employers can reduce preventable MSK issues, missed workdays, and the need for more expensive care down the road.”

About Aaptiv

Aaptiv is a leading provider of digital fitness and wellness solutions for employers, health plans, and organizations nationwide. The Aaptiv platform offers guided workouts, mobility and mindfulness programs, access to the industry’s largest gym network, and clinical-grade MSK care through AaptivMSK. These solutions help organizations improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and support a healthier, more resilient workforce. For more information, visit Aaptiv.com

About Herantis Pharma Plc

Herantis Pharma Plc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing disease-modifying therapies for Parkinson’s disease. The Company’s lead product, HER-096, is a first-in-class small peptide that combines the neuroprotective mechanism of cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF), with the convenience of subcutaneous administration. In a Phase 1b clinical trial, HER 096 was shown to be generally safe and well tolerated in Parkinson’s disease patients. Herantis plans to advance HER-096 into a Phase 2 clinical trial in 2026 to evaluate efficacy, safety and tolerability in early-stage Parkinson’s patients.

Herantis is listed on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Finland.

Company website: www.herantis.com

About HER-096

Herantis Pharma is developing HER-096, a first-in-class drug candidate with the potential to stop the progression of Parkinson’s disease, repair striatal damage and significantly improve both an individual’s symptoms and quality of life.

HER-096 is a small peptide molecule based on the active site of and designed to mimic the activity of cerebral dopamine neurotrophic factor (CDNF), an endogenous human protein known to promote neuronal cell survival and functional recovery.

HER-096’s multimodal mechanism of action targets key drivers of neurodegeneration in PD by modulation of the Unfolded Protein Response (UPR) pathway, reducing aggregation of the neurotoxic protein α-synuclein, and modulation of neuroinflammation. Combined with its demonstrated brain penetration, this enables HER-096 to protect dopamine neurons from further degeneration and supports their functional restoration.

Herantis has established a strong foundation of evidence in both preclinical and clinical settings. CDNF, has demonstrated robust neuroprotective and neurorestorative effects in preclinical models. In a Phase 1 clinical trial with intracranial CDNF conducted in 17 patients with moderately advanced Parkinson’s disease, encouraging signs of clinical improvements and biological responses were observed. To overcome the need for intracranial delivery required for CDNF, Herantis developed HER-096 that has shown compelling preclinical results, demonstrating the full neurorestorative potential of CDNF. Importantly, brain penetration of HER-096 has been confirmed in Parkinson’s patients at levels comparable to those associated with optimal efficacy in preclinical models, and the compound’s safety profile following subcutaneous administration has proven highly favorable. In January 2026, biomarker data from Herantis’ Phase 1b study showed clear evidence of biological response to HER-096 in people with Parkinson’s disease, with HER-096 exposure associated with changes across key disease-related pathways, aligned with the expected mechanism of action and indicating disease modifying potential.

“ICAR is widely regarded as the premier international conference for antiviral research, and it is a privilege to be selected to present our work to this antiviral research community,” said Dr. Lee. “We are excited to further advance CDI-988 into a Phase 1b norovirus challenge study at Emory University School of Medicine. CDI‑988 is our first pan-viral protease inhibitor developed for the treatment of acute norovirus gastroenteritis and also represents a significant step toward a potential treatment for patients suffering from chronic norovirus infection.”

About ICAR2026

The International Society for Antiviral Research (ISAR) is an internationally recognized organization of scientists working across the basic, applied, translational and clinical aspects of antiviral research. The annual International Conference on Antiviral Research (ICAR), the Society’s main event, brings together virologists, chemists, clinicians, pharmacologists, biologists and regulatory representatives focused on antiviral agents and therapies. Topics include novel and broad‑spectrum antivirals, host‑targeted approaches, vaccines, pandemic preparedness and emerging or re‑emerging viral threats, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration among academia, industry, government and non‑profit organizations.

About Norovirus

Norovirus is a common and highly contagious virus that afflicts people of all ages and causes symptoms of acute gastroenteritis including nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea, as well as fatigue, fever and dehydration. This infection spreads rapidly in semi-closed and crowded settings such as hospitals, nursing homes, cruise ships, schools, disaster-relief shelters and military facilities, where close contact makes outbreaks especially difficult to control. Norovirus causes an estimated 200,000 deaths worldwide each year at a societal cost of approximately $60 billion. In the U.S., norovirus is responsible for about 21 million cases of acute gastroenteritis annually, including 109,000 hospitalizations, 465,000 emergency department visits and nearly 900 deaths, with an estimated annual economic burden of $10.6 billion.
