• Claude Zdanow began his entrepreneurial journey as a teenager, founding RockIT Studios in his parents’ basement
• Launched The Chainsmokers’ career and led Stadiumred Studios to associations to 30 Grammy nominations and 22 wins
• As CEO of Stadiumred Group, Claude Zdanow led multiple agency acquisitions, landed top clients like 7-Eleven, Brown-Forman, Disney’s FX Networks, and Steven Soderbergh’s Singani 63, and earned industry recognition including Adweek’s #3 Fastest Growing Agency and a spot on the Inc. 5000 list
• As CEO of ONAR Holdings, Zdanow is revolutionizing marketing for middle-market companies through AI-driven strategies and strategic acquisitions

Claude Zdanow’s entrepreneurial spirit ignited early. At just 15, he launched RockIT Studios in his parents’ basement, producing for major clients like Warner Brothers and Maybelline. This foundation in music production and brand collaboration laid the groundwork for Zdanow’s future successes across multiple industries.

In a recent interview on The TechMediaWire Podcast, Zdanow reflected on this journey and shared insights into the mission of his latest endeavor, ONAR Holdings (OTCQB: ONAR). “I have a bit of a non-traditional background,” he explained. “I started as a musician signed to a band on an imprint of Warner Bros. I parlayed that into starting a music company, then pivoted into advertising and marketing.”

Zdanow’s transition was marked by the founding of Stadiumred Studios in 2007, transforming Ornette Coleman’s storied Harmolodic studio in Harlem into a Grammy-winning recording facility. Stadiumred helped launch the careers of artists like The Chainsmokers, ultimately leading to the company being associated with 30 Grammy nominations and 22 wins, including with the likes of Eminem, Drake, and many more.

As CEO of Stadiumred Group, Zdanow transformed the company from a Grammy-winning recording studio into a unified marketing collective offering creative, digital, experiential, and influencer services. He led the strategic integration of multiple agencies, building a platform that served global brands and attracted top clients including 7-Eleven, Brown-Forman, Disney’s FX Networks, Steven Soderbergh’s Singani 63, Peter Thomas Roth, Pernod Ricard, and Rolls-Royce. Under his leadership, Stadiumred was recognized as one of Adweek’s Fastest Growing Agencies and earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 list.

Leading ONAR Holdings and Supporting the Middle Market

After exiting his prior advertising firm in 2021, Zdanow was recruited to lead ONAR Holdings (OTCQB: ONAR), a marketing technology company and agency network. ONAR focuses on delivering AI-driven strategies that help middle-market companies grow revenue, often companies too small to attract Fortune 500-level attention, but large enough to need advanced solutions. ONAR specializes in companies generating revenue in the range of $50 million to $1 billion. 

“We help people sell stuff,” Zdanow told TechMediaWire. “We own and operate businesses that help middle-market companies generate revenue online.” In that vein, ONAR’s businesses include:

• Storia – Specializes in digital performance marketing and e-commerce growth.
• Of Kos – Focuses on B2B healthcare marketing and revenue acceleration.
• ONAR Labs – A tech incubator driving innovation in ad tech and AI.

Together, these units serve clients across America, with a global team projected to expand through 2025.

Strategic Acquisitions and AI at the Core

Zdanow outlined ONAR’s aggressive acquisition strategy, with several deals expected by the end of 2025. In February, ONAR announced a letter of intent to acquire a marketing technology firm that will merge into Storia, doubling that unit’s revenue and boosting EBITDA through scale and automation.

Artificial intelligence is central to ONAR’s operations. “There are some interesting things we do with tech and AI to really enable what we’re offering,” said Zdanow. ONAR’s AI systems have cut creative production time substantially and improved campaign performance, giving middle-market clients enterprise-grade results.

Vision for the Future

Zdanow’s goal is to build a category-defining holding company focused on marketing outcomes rather than just branding. “We’re not chasing the Fortune 100s,” he said. “There’s real opportunity among innovative mid-sized businesses, and our solutions tie directly to revenue.”

ONAR plans to uplist to Nasdaq and expand both geographically and technologically. As Zdanow told TechMediaWire, ONAR is doing it “better, faster, and smarter”—and the market is noticing.

• The company has filed to open an account with Coinbase Prime to manage custody and transactions securely.
• This move follows similar strategies from MicroStrategy and SharpLink Gaming, blending clean energy with digital asset exposure.
• Bitcoin holdings are intended to hedge against inflation and diversify SolarBank’s treasury operations.
• The company maintains a core focus on solar and battery energy storage.
• Management has not yet purchased Bitcoin; allocations will depend on market conditions and corporate liquidity needs.

Disseminated on behalf of SolarBank Corporation

SolarBank (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2), a premier developer and owner of renewable and clean energy projects, specializing in distributed and community solar initiatives throughout Canada and the U.S., announced that it was integrating Bitcoin into its treasury strategy, a move that reflects a growing trend among public companies diversifying cash reserves with digital assets as a hedge against inflation and currency volatility (https://ibn.fm/h5oMU).

The company announced that it has applied to open an account with Coinbase Prime (NASDAQ: COIN), a digital asset platform offering secure custody and self-custodial wallet services. While no purchases have been made yet, the allocation is part of a broader effort to enhance financial resilience and appeal to a new category of investors. SolarBank’s decision to integrate Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset was inspired by MicroStrategy’s multibillion-dollar Bitcoin strategy and SharpLink Gaming’s Ethereum-driven strategy, the company said.

SolarBank CEO and President Dr. Richard Lu said the decision stems from a belief in Bitcoin’s growing adoption and utility in treasury management. “As the adoption of Bitcoin continues to grow, SolarBank believes that establishing a Bitcoin treasury strategy taps into a growing sector that is seeing increasing adoption,” Lu said. “In a world of ever-increasing energy demand and treasury complexity, SolarBank delivers renewable energy solutions and recurring revenues, now combined with all of the benefits of holding Bitcoin.”

The actual timing and value of any Bitcoin purchases will be at management’s discretion, subject to liquidity, market conditions, and the price of Bitcoin. The company retains the option to pause or amend its strategy as needed.

The company cited multiple strategic motivations for the decision, such as hedging against inflation, enhancing liquidity options, and accessing institutional financing tied to digital assets. In addition, SolarBank believes the Bitcoin strategy will help distinguish it from peers in the clean energy sector, while appealing to investors focused on blockchain, decentralized finance (“DeFi”), and Web3-related themes.

SolarBank also emphasized the environmental aspect of its decision. According to the company, its clean energy generation assets, primarily solar farms and battery energy storage systems (“BESS”), help offset the emissions tied to the energy-intensive process of Bitcoin mining. While SolarBank itself is not directly involved in mining, the company presents its strategy as a responsible integration of renewable energy and digital finance.

The Bitcoin move comes at a time when the company is scaling rapidly across Canada and the United States. SolarBank recently announced several major deals, including a US$100 million U.S. community solar financing agreement with CIM Group and a US$49.5 million partnership with Qcells for Made-in-USA solar installations. It is also in the final stages of completing a US$41 million project with Honeywell to repurpose closed landfills into community solar farms.

The firm also secured a $25 million credit facility from the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”), which will be used to accelerate the development of BESS projects. These installations aim to stabilize the electricity grid and generate recurring revenue through long-term agreements with municipalities and utilities.

Even with the Bitcoin integration, SolarBank stated that renewable energy remains its core business. The company is targeting over 1 GW in its development pipeline and continues to partner with Tier-1 manufacturers and Fortune 500 clients in the infrastructure and utility sectors.

There are several risks associated with the development of the projects detailed in this report. The development of any project is subject to the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the project owners and the risks associated with the construction of a solar power project. There is no certainty the projects disclosed in this report will be completed on schedule or that they will operate in accordance with their design capacity.

This report contains forward looking information. Please refer to the press release entitled “SolarBank Announces Bitcoin Treasury Strategy” for additional details on the statements, risks and assumptions.

• $36.93M LOI signed to acquire Hilton Garden Inn in Rancho Mirage, California, next to Disney’s Cotino development
• Follows $41M deal for Victorville Holiday Inn, set to become a model for robotics-enabled hotel operations
• Recently acquired Future Hospitality Ventures (which holds an exclusive U.S. partnership with Bear Robotics) and the addition of Skytech Automated Solutions – both aimed at expanding its AI-powered robotics initiatives in the hospitality industry
• The combined value of these acquisitions is expected to strengthen the positioning of the company for a successful uplisting, unlocking the full range of benefits associated with national exchange

As automation reshapes hospitality, hotel operators are under pressure to find cost-effective, scalable solutions that combat labor shortages, streamline operations, and elevate guest experiences. Nightfood Holdings (OTCQB: NGTF) is embracing this shift head-on with an ambitious plan to lead the industry through artificial intelligence (“AI”)-powered hotel automation and strategic acquisitions.

Strategic Moves in Key California Markets

On May 12, 2025, Nightfood announced a $36.93 million LOI to acquire the Hilton Garden Inn in Rancho Mirage, California, a 120-room hotel adjacent to Disney’s forthcoming Cotino residential resort community. The agreement includes a room expansion plan, aiming to increase capacity to 125 rooms, and a $3 million earnout payable upon completion of the expansion. Situated in a high-traffic tourist corridor, the Rancho Mirage hotel is set to become a site for showcasing Nightfood’s RaaS technology – including its currently deployed Skytech Laundry helper – and will serve as a future model for retrofitting other full-service hotels.

This move follows Nightfood’s April announcement of a $41 million acquisition of a Holiday Inn in Victorville, California. That 155-room property, now undergoing brand conversion to a Courtyard by Marriott, already is in use of the Skytech-driven laundry robotic solution. Once renovations are complete, the Victorville location will become Nightfood’s first RaaS model hotel, demonstrating how automation can improve profitability, reduce staffing burdens, and optimize service delivery.

AI-Powered RaaS Platform Driving Hospitality Innovation

Nightfood’s AI-enabled robotics are built to automate labor-intensive hotel functions, including simple housekeeping, starting with laundry transportation. By embedding these capabilities into the hotel infrastructure, the company is positioned to reduce operating costs, fill labor gaps, and create more reliable, standardized guest experiences. With staff shortages still plaguing the hospitality sector post-pandemic, Nightfood’s solution is both timely and scalable.

These advances align with the company’s broader shift into the Robotics-as-a-Service (“RaaS”) space, which combines real estate value with subscription-style recurring revenue models. This unique integration offers hotels a clear ROI path while providing Nightfood with high-margin, software-like growth dynamics.

In fact, the Victorville hotel is projected to generate 25–40% more revenue once renovations and robotic integrations are complete, validating the potential of Nightfood’s platform to transform hotel economics. Both properties will also help Nightfood test and refine robotic workflows in real-world environments before scaling to additional acquisitions.

Financial Structure and Uplisting Requirement

Nightfood will fund both deals through Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, offering sellers equity upside while preserving cash. The Rancho Mirage deal includes $26.43 million in preferred stock and a $3 million earnout, while the Victorville transaction involves a net purchase price of $31 million after factoring in the assumed mortgage, plus a $5 million performance-based earnout.

A Vision Beyond Hospitality

These strategic moves also position Nightfood within a larger trend: digitizing traditional service sectors. Much like how Amazon Go reinvented retail and Toast transformed restaurant POS, Nightfood is applying a similar logic to the hospitality industry by blending hardware, software, and data to deliver smarter, leaner operations.

As NGTF’s recent acquisitions strengthen the positioning of the company for a successful uplisting, it may emerge as a new kind of hospitality operator, part landlord, part tech innovator, and part robotics integrator.

With two high-profile hotel deals already signed, as well as its recently acquired Future Hospitality Ventures (which holds an exclusive U.S. partnership with Bear Robotics) and the acquisition of Skytech Automated Solutions, Nightfood is becoming a platform company at the intersection of real estate, robotics, and AI. Investors will be watching closely to see how this transition plays out.

• Brera Holdings and Toronto Blizzard are launching a grassroots soccer initiative focused on player development across North America and three continents.
• The partnership draws on Blizzard’s past collaboration with Bundesliga champions FC Bayern Munich to develop a training model for young players.
• The program targets children as young as three, with development pathways extending into Brera’s professional clubs in Italy, North Macedonia, Mongolia, and Mozambique.
• Toronto Blizzard’s longtime owner-coach Giuseppe “Joe” Parolini has been appointed Brera’s Academy Sports Director for North America.
• Talent identification camps in Canada and training stints at European academies are expected to begin by summer 2026.

Brera Holdings (NASDAQ: BREA), a global sports investment group, is expanding its multi-club strategy into grassroots development through a new partnership with Canada’s Toronto Blizzard Corp. The two organizations will work together to create a player development pipeline for boys and girls aged 3 to 18, linking local Canadian talent with professional football (soccer) clubs in Europe, Asia, and Africa (https://ibn.fm/heS2l).

Brera, which owns and manages clubs in Italy’s Serie B, North Macedonia’s first division, and teams in Mongolian Premier League and Mozambique, will integrate its coaching methodologies into Blizzard’s youth programs. The goal is to provide early-stage training that can ultimately lead to professional opportunities across the Brera network.

The program follows a structure modeled in part on Blizzard’s 2022 initiative with FC Bayern Munich, one of Europe’s most successful football clubs. That earlier collaboration emphasized technical development and international exposure for promising youth players.

Giuseppe “Joe” Parolini, a Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame inductee and long-time owner of the Toronto Blizzard, has been named Academy Sports Director for North America under the new partnership. Parolini will also act as an advisor to Brera on its grassroots strategy.

“When I took over the ownership of the Blizzard in 1999, ensuring equal opportunities for women and girls to play and receive the same quality of training and development was very important to me,” Parolini said, emphasizing that Brera is the perfect partner to help bring new coaching philosophies to talented youth in Ontario. “Through this partnership, I believe we can identify talent, develop and create pathways to other opportunities such as Juve Stabia in Naples where I was born, Brera Strumica and Tiverija in North Macedonia, the World Squad, and more.”

Training camps are expected to begin in the Toronto metro area as early as 2026. Selected players may then have the chance to travel to Europe for further development. Camps will be coordinated by Toronto Blizzard, while delivery will involve both Brera and Blizzard technical staff. Regular communication between the coaching teams, including trans-continental video calls, is expected to form part of the ongoing collaboration.

The initiative includes plans for friendly matches between Brera’s clubs and Canadian professional teams, although these events remain contingent on financial planning and logistical viability.

Brera’s multi-club approach has drawn attention for its focus on lower-division football markets in emerging economies and its aim to build both men’s and women’s teams under a unified management model. The company’s acquisition of SS Juve Stabia in Italy and Brera Strumica (formerly Akademija Pandev) and Brera Tiverija in North Macedonia are part of a portfolio strategy aimed at both player development and financial sustainability.

Daniel J. McClory, Executive Chairman of Brera Holdings, said the partnership with Toronto Blizzard reflects the company’s interest in Canadian talent and its potential. “We’ve seen the incredible soccer talent coming from Canada, as well as at the NCAA programs of U.S. universities where Blizzard alumni have distinguished themselves,” McClory said. “Our partnership with Toronto Blizzard will allow us to share our clubs’ coaching philosophies as well as identify and help develop young talent in Toronto. We look forward to introducing this partnership to the Province of Ontario with the Blizzard, and bringing players to train at the academies of our clubs in Italy and North Macedonia, as these countries enjoy longstanding and particularly strong cross-cultural ties with the Toronto metro area.”

• The gold market’s current dynamics underscore the metal’s enduring appeal
• Lahontan Gold boasts a portfolio of four gold and silver projects located in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane
• LGCXF’s management team comprises seasoned professionals with extensive experience in mineral exploration, project development and corporate finance
• LGCXF recently named as “one of the best gold developers in Nevada”

In an era marked by economic volatility and geopolitical tensions, gold has reasserted itself as a premier safe-haven asset. Gold prices have soared to unprecedented levels, surpassing $3,400 per ounce, driven by factors such as trade disputes, inflationary pressures and global uncertainty (https://ibn.fm/1Z7sV). This bullish trend has reignited interest in gold mining ventures, with companies such as Lahontan Gold (TSX.V: LG) (OTCQB: LGCXF) emerging as compelling opportunities for investors seeking exposure to the precious metals sector.

The gold market’s current dynamics underscore the metal’s enduring appeal. In 2025 alone, gold has experienced a remarkable 25% year-to-date increase, reflecting a convergence of market forces, including aggressive central bank accumulation and evolving monetary policies. This surge has not only elevated gold’s status among institutional investors but has also spotlighted the potential of mining companies poised to capitalize on the heightened demand (https://ibn.fm/W2vPX).

Investors are increasingly turning to gold mining stocks as a strategic avenue to benefit from rising gold prices (https://ibn.fm/oLUmF). The sector has witnessed a notable uptick in activity, and this trend is further bolstered by the sector’s historically low valuations and its low correlation with traditional equities, offering diversification benefits to investment portfolios. In a recent post, mining analyst Don Durrett described Lahontan Gold Corp as “one of the best gold developers in Nevada,” calling it “cheap and a sleeper” with “10 bagger” potential if gold prices surpass $2500 and the company hits its feasibility study timeline by 2026.

Amid this favorable backdrop, Lahontan Gold Corp. has positioned itself as a noteworthy player in the gold exploration and development landscape. The company boasts a portfolio of four gold and silver projects located in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane, a region renowned for its rich mineral endowment and mining-friendly jurisdiction. Lahontan’s flagship asset, the Santa Fe Mine, is a past-producing open-pit operation that yielded 345,000 ounces of gold and 710,000 ounces of silver, underscoring its significant resource potential (https://ibn.fm/QTBnL).

Recent developments have further enhanced the Santa Fe project’s appeal. A Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) released earlier this year highlighted the project’s robust economics, with an updated mineral resource estimate indicating nearly 2 million ounces of gold equivalent (https://ibn.fm/OhmXb). Notably, metallurgical testing revealed cyanide-soluble gold recoveries of up to 91.5%, suggesting favorable processing characteristics and potential for cost-effective extraction.

Lahontan’s strategic focus extends beyond Santa Fe. The company’s additional projects—Moho, West Santa Fe, and Redlich—are all situated within Nevada, providing logistical advantages and operational synergies. These properties are at various stages of exploration, with ongoing drilling and assessment activities aimed at delineating resources and advancing them toward development.

Leadership plays a pivotal role in Lahontan’s trajectory. The management team comprises seasoned professionals with extensive experience in mineral exploration, project development and corporate finance. Their collective expertise is instrumental in navigating the complexities of the mining industry and executing the company’s growth strategy.

As gold continues to shine amid global economic uncertainties, companies such as Lahontan Gold offer investors a unique opportunity to participate in the sector’s upside potential. With a robust project portfolio, promising resource base and experienced leadership, Lahontan is well-positioned to capitalize on the prevailing market conditions and contribute to the resurgence of gold mining in the United States.

• The company’s non-invasive fingerprint drug screening system uses fingerprint sweat to screen for drugs such as cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, and opiates.
• Results are available in under ten minutes, supporting faster, on-site decision-making in treatment and justice settings.
• INBS is pursuing FDA approval and further entry into the U.S. market, where it currently operates in a Forensic Use Only capacity.
• The company has over 450 active accounts in 24 countries, targeting sectors such as healthcare, justice, and workplace safety.
• INBS partnered with SMARTOX, a U.S. distributor, to connect with stakeholders in criminal justice and addiction recovery.

Intelligent Bio Solutions (NASDAQ: INBS), a medical technology company specializing in rapid, non-invasive testing solutions, recently attended the RISE25 conference to demonstrate its portable Intelligent Fingerprint Drug Screening System, continuing its push into the U.S. market for rapid, non-invasive screening technologies (https://ibn.fm/1JSTS).

The event, held May 28–31 in Florida, attracted over 7,000 professionals from the fields of addiction treatment, mental health, and criminal justice. The conference has become a national gathering point for those working on evidence-based approaches to substance use and behavioral health issues.

At the conference, INBS presented its system alongside its U.S. distribution partner SMARTOX. SMARTOX, founded in 2012, provides drug and alcohol testing services across a wide range of institutional settings in the United States. The firm offers a full-service model, including distribution, customer support, and program design.

INBS’s drug screening system, designed for forensic use in the United States, detects recent drug use by analyzing fingerprint sweat. It screens for cannabis, cocaine, methamphetamine, and opiates, producing results in under ten minutes.

INBS President and CEO Harry Simeonidis and Vice President of Global Sales Doug Heath were present at the event, joining SMARTOX’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Duffy Nabors, in demonstrating the system’s potential applications.

The system’s portability and ease of use are well-suited to environments where rapid screening and privacy are important, such as treatment courts, probation programs, and correctional settings. The fingerprint sweat-based system offers an alternative to traditional urine or saliva tests, with less need for invasive procedures or secure facilities.

Heath emphasized the importance of delivering “effective screening methods for justice-involved individuals,” particularly in programs focused on recovery and rehabilitation rather than incarceration. “The RISE conference represents a national effort to transform justice responses to substance use and mental health,” said Heath. “We’re proud to support SMARTOX in showcasing our solution and to contribute to the conversation around dignity, access, and effective screening methods for justice-involved individuals.”

The company’s attendance at RISE25 reflects its broader strategy to position the technology in the U.S. justice and public health sectors. Currently, the system is approved only for forensic use in the U.S., but INBS is seeking broader FDA clearance.

Outside the U.S., the company’s drug testing system is already deployed in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, transport, and drug treatment. In total, INBS reports more than 450 active accounts across 24 countries, reflecting growing global interest in rapid, on-site testing tools.

For INBS, the U.S. forensic market offers a testbed for its system, while regulatory progress may open up opportunities in other high-demand areas such as workplace safety and healthcare. The company’s participation in RISE25 provided a direct channel to policymakers, researchers, and court officials interested in more efficient screening methods.

• ESGold is a gold and silver company preparing for production later this year at a tailings reclamation site in Quebec abandoned by the previous operator
• The gold and silver resource developer expects to concentrate on reprocessing the tailings for the near-term to extract mica and any remaining gold and silver, anticipating that the resulting mica concentrate will be useful in a wide variety of building and roadwork materials
• ESGold plans to build revenue through the reuse project, which can then help fund planned exploration at its Quebec property covering 13,116 hectares (about 32,410 acres)
• The company is currently conducting testing to see if it can effectively streamline production by processing gold and silver in one of the tailings sites at the property into a concentrate that would allow the company to bypass traditional circuit steps and pour bullion directly on site

Gold and silver company ESGold (CSE: ESAU) (OTCQB: ESAUF) is testing a potential refining process that may reduce the company’s costs and environmental impact as it ramps up preparations for starting a tailings production operation.

ESGold holds 265 mining claims on the historic Montauban mine site in Quebec, covering 13,116 hectares (about 32,410 acres) 80 kilometers (49.7 miles) west of the province’s capital city.

The company is readying a rehabilitation project that will reprocess tailings abandoned by a former operator starting this fall, which will in turn help to fund anticipated new gold and silver exploration at the property.

The refining process being tested uses a Humphrey spiral concentrator similar to others installed in a plant on the site for the fall operation, which will use the concentrators in a gravity separation circuit designed to process up to 1,000 metric tons per day (“TPD”) of the site’s tailings (https://ibn.fm/JRTYC).

But the testing under way at the site is assessing the potential for generating a high-grade concentrate of gold and silver, drawing feedstock material from a historic stockpile known to contain significantly higher concentrations of gold and silver than the Anacon Lead 1 tailings site identified by the company as its primary focus for reclamation.

ESGold’s goal is to produce a concentrate representing less than 3 percent of the feed mass while capturing more than 50 percent of the gold and silver content, which could allow the company to bypass traditional circuit steps and pour bullion directly on site, according to a news release published May 30 (https://ibn.fm/1L1Hc).

Success in achieving the goal would permit the company to reduce processing time, optimizing throughput efficiency, and reduce cyanide consumption in the process to sustain ESGold’s low-environmental-footprint aims.

The testing is expected to take a week, with lab results expected within a month of completing the test.

ESGold is working with private consultancy DMCMS Inc. to deliver environmentally friendly, sustainable materials using a clean technology that fuses mine waste with an organic polymer to create a concentrate stronger than concrete that will be useful in building materials such as bricks, cinder blocks, paving stones, patio tiles, parking columns, and highway Jersey barriers.

“Most companies do a ton of exploration, then have to get their permits and have to go into production. We’re not. We’re going to be cash-flow positive by this time (in 2025),” ESGold President and Director Brad Kitchen said in a November 2024 interview (https://ibn.fm/4tvX2).
