Google and AAP strike AI deal for Gemini in Australia

SYDNEY: Google and Australian Associated Press have announced a partnership to integrate the national newswire's content into the Gemini artificial intelligence platform. The agreement aims to improve the quality and relevance of Gemini's responses to user queries. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed when announced on Tuesday. Google's head of news partnerships for Australia and New Zealand Nic Hopkins stated the collaboration would help deliver real-time information to enhance responses in the Gemini application. The partnership represents a significant development in the relationship between technology companies and news organizations. Australian Associated Press, established 90 years ago, emphasized its journalism would ensure timeliness and accuracy in Google's products. AAP chief executive Emma Cowdroy called the agreement a strong endorsement of their reputation as a leading and trusted news media organization. This deal reflects a growing trend of partnerships between news media and generative AI developers. Tech companies are increasingly seeking to make their natural-language responses more relevant to users' questions. The Australian agreement follows similar arrangements globally, including AFP news agency's January deal with Mistral allowing the startup's chatbot to use the news agency's articles. Meanwhile, other news organizations have chosen legal challenges over AI use of their copyrighted content rather than partnership agreements. - AFP

Evolent Health, Inc. Announces Pricing of Oversubscribed and Upsized $145.0 Million of Convertible Senior Notes Due 2031 to Repurchase Existing Notes and Class A Common Stock

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Evolent Health, Inc. (NYSE: EVH), a company focused on achieving better health outcomes for people with complex conditions ('Evolent'), today announced the pricing of $145.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% convertible senior notes due 2031. The notes are being offered only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the 'Securities Act'). Evolent has also granted the initial purchasers in the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $21.75 million aggregate principal amount of notes. Evolent has increased the size of the offering from $140.0 million to $145.0 million (or $166.75 million if the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional notes is exercised in full). Key terms of the transactions include: Interest on the notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2026, at a rate equal to 4.50% per annum. The notes will mature on August 15, 2031, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The notes are convertible into cash, shares of Evolent's Class A common stock, or a combination of cash and shares of Evolent's Class A common stock, at Evolent's election based on an initial conversion rate of 73.9098 shares of Class A common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.53 per share of Class A common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 50.0% over the closing price of the Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on August 18, 2025. Evolent has agreed to repurchase 4.43 million shares of its Class A common stock sold short by initial investors in the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of Evolent's Class A common stock on August 18, 2025, which was $9.02 per share. John Johnson, Evolent's Chief Financial Officer, stated, 'This transaction helps Evolent avoid over $9 million of annual interest expense when compared to retiring the 2025 notes with our committed incremental credit facilities, while minimizing shareholder dilution with an effective conversion premium over 130% as a result of the concurrent share repurchase, assuming the initial purchasers' option to purchase additional notes is exercised in full. After the retirement of our 2025 notes, Evolent has no maturities until 2029, and we remain committed to our stated capital allocation priority of deploying cash generation to paying down debt.' Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and subject to Evolent's ability to terminate the conversion rights on or after August 20, 2026 as described below, the notes will be convertible at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. On or after August 20, 2026, Evolent may terminate the conversion rights of the notes if (i) for any conversion rights termination date occurring on or after August 20, 2026 and prior to, but not including, August 21, 2028, the last reported sale price of Evolent's Class A common stock has been at least 150% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) prior to Evolent's delivery of notice of such termination of conversion rights or (ii) for any conversion rights termination date occurring on or after August 21, 2028, the last reported sale price of Evolent's Class A common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price for at least 20 days during the 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) prior to Evolent's delivery of notice of such termination of conversion rights. Holders of the notes may require Evolent to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a 'fundamental change' (as defined in the indenture that will govern the notes) at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Evolent may not redeem the notes unless and until holders' conversion rights have been terminated at its election. However, if holders' conversion rights have been terminated, Evolent may redeem for cash all or a portion of the notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. Evolent estimates that the net proceeds from the offering will be approximately $140.2 million (or approximately $161.2 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting fees and estimated expenses payable by Evolent. Evolent expects to use approximately $100.2 million of the net proceeds from the offering, plus available liquidity, to repurchase approximately $167.4 million aggregate principal of its 1.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the '2025 Notes') for approximately $167.6 million in cash in note repurchases entered into concurrently with the pricing of the notes. Evolent also expects to use approximately $40.0 million of the net proceeds from the offering to repurchase shares of Evolent's Class A common stock concurrently with the pricing of the offering in privately negotiated transactions. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Evolent expects to use the net proceeds from the sale of the additional notes to reduce the amount of available liquidity required to repurchase or repay the 2025 Notes. In connection with the concurrent share repurchase described above, Evolent has agreed to repurchase shares of its Class A common stock sold short by initial investors in the offering in privately negotiated transactions effected with or through one of the initial purchasers or its affiliate at a purchase price per share equal to the last reported sale price of Evolent's Class A common stock on August 18, 2025, which was $9.02 per share. These repurchases could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Evolent's Class A common stock or the notes. In the case of repurchases effected concurrently with the offering, this activity could affect the market price of Evolent's Class A common stock prior to, concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes, and could result in a higher effective conversion price for the notes. In connection with the repurchases of the 2025 Notes described above, Evolent expects that holders of the 2025 Notes who agree to have their 2025 Notes repurchased and who have hedged their equity price risk with respect to such 2025 Notes will unwind all or part of their hedge positions by buying Evolent's Class A common stock and/or entering into or unwinding various derivative transactions with respect to Evolent's Class A common stock. This activity could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Evolent's Class A common stock, including concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes, resulting in a higher effective conversion price of the notes. Evolent cannot predict the magnitude of such market activity or the overall effect it will have on the price of the notes or Evolent's Class A common stock and the corresponding effect on the initial conversion price of the notes. Consummation of the sale of the notes is subject to customary closing conditions, and there can be no assurance that the offering of the notes will be consummated. Settlement is expected to occur on August 21, 2025. The notes and any shares of Class A common stock of Evolent issuable upon conversion of the notes will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities law of any such jurisdiction.

Textile Recycling Market worth $11.88 billion by 2030

DELRAY BEACH, Fla., Aug. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The report 'Textile Recycling Market by Material (Cotton, Polyester & Polyester Fibers, Wool, Nylon & Nylon Fibers), Textile Waste, Process, Distribution Channel, End-Use (Apparel, Home Furnishing, Industrial & Institutional), and Region – Global Forecast to 2030', global textile recycling market size is expected to reach USD 11.88 billion in 2030 from USD 8.41 billion in 2025, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2026 to 2030. Browse in-depth TOC on 'Textile Recycling Market' 220 – Tables54 – Figures280 – Pages Download PDF Brochure: The demand for textile recycling is increasing due to environmental, economic, and regulatory factors. As global textile use and fast fashion expand quickly, large quantities of textile waste are produced, most of which end up in landfills or incinerators. This has led to serious concerns about pollution, resource depletion, and climate change. Consumers are becoming more eco-conscious, encouraging brands to adopt circular business models and include recycled materials. Meanwhile, governments worldwide are enacting stricter regulations, such as Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and landfill bans, prompting manufacturers to manage waste more responsibly. Mechanical and chemical recycling advances are also making it more practical and scalable to process complex fiber blends. Additionally, recycled textiles offer long-term cost savings and support ESG goals, making them popular for industries aiming to boost sustainability efforts. This growing awareness is fueling rapid growth in the sector. Textile recycling is primarily used in apparel, industrial, institutional, home furnishings, and other end-use industries. It is made from various materials, such as cotton, polyester, wool, nylon, and nylon fibers. Polyester & polyester fibers are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period. Polyester and polyester fibers are growing the fastest in the materials market due to their widespread global use, compatibility with chemical recycling technologies, and increasing demand for sustainable synthetic alternatives. Polyester accounts for over half of all fiber production globally, especially in fast fashion and activewear, generating a massive volume of recyclable waste. Chemical recycling advancements now allow polyester to be depolymerized and reconstituted into virgin-quality fibers, fueling the production of recycled polyester (rPET). Brands are increasingly integrating rPET into apparel and textile products to meet sustainability goals, reduce carbon emissions, and appeal to eco-conscious consumers. This strong combination of supply availability, technological feasibility, and market demand drives polyester's rapid growth in textile recycling. Request Sample Pages: Pre-consumer textile waste is expected to register the highest growth in the textile recycling market, followed by textile waste. Pre-consumer textile waste is projected to grow the fastest due to increased efforts to improve production efficiency, regulatory pressures, and the ease of recycling clean, uniform waste generated during manufacturing. This type of waste, including cutting scraps, production overruns, and defective items, is more consistent in fiber type and less contaminated than post-consumer waste, making it suitable for mechanical and chemical recycling. As fashion brands and manufacturers work toward zero-waste goals and meet sustainability standards, many are creating closed-loop systems to recycle textile waste internally. The rising focus on responsible production and reducing landfill use is boosting investment in pre-consumer recycling infrastructure, making it the quickest-growing category in the textile waste stream. The online channel segment is expected to register the highest CAGR in the market, by distribution channel. The online channel is growing the fastest in the textile recycling market's distribution segment because of its convenience, scalability, and ability to connect directly with environmentally conscious consumers. Digital platforms simplify scheduling textile pickups, donations, or resale, expanding participation in recycling efforts without requiring physical infrastructure. E-commerce and brand websites are increasingly offering recycled textile products, promoting transparency and traceability through digital labels and sustainability credentials. Social media campaigns and mobile apps boost consumer engagement, especially among younger audiences. Additionally, online platforms support reverse logistics and direct-to-recycler models, reducing costs and making collection more efficient. As digital adoption accelerates across regions, especially in emerging markets, the online channel reshapes how recycled textiles are collected, sold, and promoted. The Asia Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR in terms of value and volume. The Asia Pacific is growing at the highest CAGR due to its dominant textile manufacturing base, rapid urbanization, and increasing policy focus on sustainable waste management. Countries like China, India, Bangladesh, and Vietnam generate vast amounts of pre- and post-consumer textile waste, creating a strong supply base for recycling operations. Governments are introducing regulations to reduce landfill dependency and promote circular economy models, while international brands are investing in regional recycling infrastructure to meet global sustainability targets. Additionally, rising environmental awareness among consumers and businesses is accelerating demand for recycled textiles. With low-cost labor, expanding digital logistics, and emerging clean technologies, Asia Pacific is becoming a key hub for scalable, end-to-end textile recycling solutions.
