D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS) filed an 8-K (Item 7.01) announcing a strategic development initiative to expand superconducting cryogenic packaging for both its annealing and fluxonium gate-model quantum processors.

The initiative includes new equipment, processes and multichip packaging capabilities intended to strengthen D-Wave’s manufacturing base and supply-chain resilience. No financial terms, cap-ex estimates or revenue guidance were provided. As information is furnished under Reg FD, it is not subject to Section 18 liability.

• Key partner: NASA-JPL (Caltech-managed, federally funded)

Ryanair Holdings plc (RYAAY) has filed a Form 6-K disclosing an Article 19 Market Abuse Regulation transaction by Director Michael O’Leary. On 23 July 2025 in Dublin, O’Leary sold 1,000,000 ordinary shares (ISIN IE00BYTBXV33) at â‚�24.50 each, generating gross proceeds of approximately â‚�24.5 million. The filing identifies the sale as a single transaction and provides the company’s LEI (635400BR2ROC1FVEBQ56).

No operational performance, earnings data or other material events are included; the document is limited to the mandatory insider dealing notice and signature block. While the transaction’s motive is not stated, the size of the disposal may attract investor attention given the involvement of a person discharging managerial responsibilities (PDMR). The timely submission demonstrates compliance with both EU MAR requirements and SEC Rule 13a-16 for foreign private issuers.

American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) filed an 8-K announcing a board leadership transition.

Sara Martinez Tucker will resign as Chair effective 31 Jul 2025 for personal reasons and expressly stated there is no disagreement with the company. She remains a director and has been elected independent Lead Director starting 1 Aug 2025.

The Board simultaneously elected CEO & President William J. Fehrman, a director since 1 Aug 2024, to assume the Chair role on 1 Aug 2025. The filing contains no financial or operational data; it is limited to governance matters. The move combines the CEO and Chair positions, shifting AEP from an independent Chair structure to a Lead-Director model.

On 21 Jul 2025 Retractable Technologies (RVP) President, CEO, Director and 10% owner Thomas J. Shaw filed a Form 4 disclosing an open-market purchase of 5,000 common shares at $0.66. The transaction adds a marginal 0.03% to his already substantial direct stake, bringing it to 15,464,130 shares. Shaw also maintains indirect control over 831,600 sharesâ€�500,000 held as trustee for a family member and the remainder through a voting agreement.

The buy occurred under a Rule 10b5-1 plan adopted 22 Aug 2024. No derivative securities were reported. While the dollar value is small, insider purchases—especially by a CEO with significant ownership—can be interpreted as a vote of confidence at current price levels. However, the pre-arranged nature of the plan and the modest size limit its market impact.

American Electric Power Company (AEP) filed a Form 4 reporting that Executive Vice President Robert B. Berntsen received a total of 17,657 restricted stock units (RSUs) on 14 July 2025 under the company’s equity incentive plan. The award was split into two tranchesâ€�3,774 RSUs and 13,883 RSUs—each valued at the reference price of $105.02 per underlying share. The first tranche vests in three equal installments on February 21, 2026 / 2027 / 2028; the second tranche vests on October 1, 2026 / 2027 / 2028. After the grant, Mr. Berntsen directly beneficially owns 17,657 RSUs; no shares were sold or disposed of, and no derivative securities were exercised. Because the transaction is a routine compensation grant rather than an open-market purchase or sale, it is not expected to have a material near-term impact on AEP’s valuation or trading dynamics, but it does further align the executive’s incentives with shareholder interests.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. is offering $6.3 million of unsecured, unsubordinated Callable Fixed-Rate Notes due 22 June 2035. The notes pay a fixed 5.60% annual coupon, calculated on a 30/360 basis and paid in arrears every 23 June from 2026 through 2034 and at maturity, subject to earlier redemption.

Issuer call option: Beginning 23 June 2027 and every 23 June/23 December thereafter until 23 December 2034, the issuer may redeem the notes in whole at par plus accrued interest, with at least five business daysâ€� notice to DTC. If called, investors face reinvestment risk and lose future coupons.

Structure & settlement: Minimum denomination is $1,000. Issue price is 100% of par; investors pay $1,000 and receive net proceeds of $997 after a $3.00 selling concession. Original Issue Date is 23 June 2025; Business Day Convention is Following; Interest Accrual Convention is Unadjusted; CUSIP 48130CU37.

Risk highlights:

• Credit risk â€� payments depend on JPMorgan’s ability to meet obligations; the notes constitute TLAC-eligible debt and may absorb losses in a resolution.
• Call risk â€� early redemption reduces total yield if rates decline or do not rise materially.
• Duration risk â€� 10-year tenor makes market value sensitive to rate changes.
• Liquidity risk â€� no exchange listing; secondary market, if any, is expected to be limited and dealer-driven.

Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. The SEC has neither approved nor disapproved the offering.

Form 4 filing for American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) details routine equity-based compensation for outside director Sara Martinez Tucker. On 30 June 2025, the director acquired 409.59 phantom stock units at a reference price of $103.76 per unit under the AEP Stock Unit Accumulation Plan for Non-Employee Directors. These units are cash-settled and therefore do not represent the purchase of AEP common shares. Following the transaction, Tucker’s total holdings in the plan amount to 30,264.66 phantom units. Units are payable in cash after board service ends, and may be reallocated to other investment options at any time.
