MONTRÉAL, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ - Hydro-Québec reported net income of $2,056 million for the first quarter of 2025, up $480 million compared to the same period in 2024. This is mainly due to favourable weather conditions in all of its markets. In addition, Hydro-Québec continues to invest in the rollout of the Action Plan 2035. An amount of $1.4 billion was invested in the first three months of 2025, an increase of more than 25% compared to last year. These investments are aimed specifically at improving the quality of service offered to customers. "The solid financial performance in the first quarter of 2025 is mainly due to a colder winter than last year," said Maxime Aucoin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "In Québec, winter temperatures greatly contributed to an increase in sales, while on external markets, they allowed us to benefit from high export prices. To ensure the best possible use of our water resources, we continue to take a cautious approach to managing our energy reserves." Financial highlights for the first three months Hydro-Québec's plan: Milestones for early 2025 Positive progress in negotiations on an agreement with Newfoundland and Labrador Launch of the most ambitious energy efficiency pathway in Hydro-Québec's history Investments of $10 billion by 2035 Smart thermostats at $0 for residential customers Signing of several new agreements Partnership announced for wind power development in the Nutinamu-Chauvin area (Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean) for a project of up to 1,000 MW of capacity by 2035 Collaborative agreement signed with Makivvik Corporation to promote economic development in Nunavik First electricity supply contracts signed for two wind power projects in Quaqtaq and Puvirnituq (with Tarquti Energy) Unveiling of a scalable approach to solar development Goal of developing 3,000 MW of solar power by 2035 First call for tenders for solar farms (300 MW) announced in Hydro-Québec's history For more information on Hydro-Québec's results for the first quarter of 2025, visit .

GETTY COPPER INC. ANNOUNCES EXPLORATION OF STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES TO MAXIMIZE SHAREHOLDER VALUE
Trading SymbolTSXV: GTC VANCOUVER, BC, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ - Getty Copper Inc. (the " Company") (TSXV: GTC) announces that it has initiated a strategic review process to evaluate a range of alternatives to advance its mineral properties and enhance shareholder value. Alternatives that may be considered include transactions that would result in a change of control of the Company, or the creation of a new control person or persons. Concurrently with this process, the Company will continue to advance existing discussions with a third party regarding a potential transaction. Tom MacNeill, the Company's CEO, said "The objective of this strategic review process is to explore options that will unlock the potential of the Company's properties, leverage increases in commodity prices and provide a platform for continued growth and success. Adverse market sentiment in the sector generally, has seen junior resource companies with excellent economic assets become extremely undervalued. This process creates an opportunity for larger resource players with access to capital and other resources to seek transactions that unlock value to the benefit of all shareholders". It is the Company's current intention not to disclose developments with respect to the strategic review, including existing discussions, until the Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determines that disclosure is necessary or appropriate. The Company cautions that there are no assurances or guarantees that the strategic review will result in a transaction or, if a transaction is undertaken, the terms or timing of such a transaction. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements: The foregoing announcement contains forward looking statements. These kind of statements are, by their nature, subject to risks and uncertainties. There is no assurance they will occur. In particular, no agreement has been reached with any party regarding a transaction. Even if such an agreement were reached, its completion would be subject to significant risks including the possibility that any necessary regulatory or shareholder approvals would not be obtained, or that any required financing would not be available. Readers are cautioned to consider these risks when evaluating this information. ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS Tom MacNeill, CEO SOURCE Getty Copper Inc.

Finfluencers under surveillance: AMF joins forces with regulators across the globe
MONTRÉAL, June 6, 2025 /CNW/ - From June 2 to 6, 2025, the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) participated in the Global Week of Action Against Unlawful Finfluencers by joining forces with several other regulators to prevent and counter unlawful activities engaged in by financial influencers (also known as "finfluencers"). The AMF wanted to achieve two objectives with the actions it carried out as part of this initiative: raise public awareness of the risks associated with the products and advice offered by some finfluencers, and draw finfluencers' attention to the potentially illegal aspects of their activities while contemplating targeted actions against specific finfluencers. Consumers: Using critical thinking and acting with caution The AMF released short videos featuring two of its investigators and published a new webpage urging consumers to exercise critical thinking and caution when considering financial products and advice offered on the Internet and social media. Their content focuses on how to identify potentially misleading or fraudulent information. Finfluencers: Understanding and following the rules The AMF's investigations team contacted a long list of Québec influencers representing a combined audience of over one million followers in order to raise their awareness, caution them or ask them to remove content from their posts. The AMF also published a webpage explaining what rules finfluencers needed to follow to comply with the law. In certain, more problematic cases, the AMF also opened investigations into illegal activities. "Most finfluencers are acting within the framework of the law. Some, however, are touting products or services without being registered with the regulators. Others are making false promises of a lavish lifestyle or easy profits," said Éric Jacob, Executive Director, AMF Enforcement. "By joining forces with other regulators in Canada and globally, we clearly affirm our commitment to raising public awareness and combatting illegal conduct that puts consumers' finances at risk." National and international cooperation International relationships are vital to countering this problem. The AMF has worked closely with the following regulators on this initiative, which was led by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA, United Kingdom): Alberta Securities Commission (ASC, Canada) Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC, Australia); British Columbia Securities Commission (BCSC, Canada); Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV, Spain); Ontario Securities Commission (OSC, Canada); Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA, United Arab Emirates); Securities & Futures Commission (SFC, Hong Kong). About the Autorité des marchés financiers In its role as regulator, the Autorité des marchés financiers acts to maintain a financial sector that is dynamic, operates with integrity and warrants public confidence. It regulates, in whole or in part, activities in the following sectors: insurance, deposit institutions, securities and derivatives, distribution of financial products and services, mortgage brokerage and credit assessment.
