(“SmartStop”) (NYSE:SMA) , in partnership with SmartCentres (TSX: SRU.UN), is pleased to announce the opening of a new Class A self-storage facility in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$KNR #esg–Kontrol Technologies Corp. (Cboe CA:KNR) (OTCQB:KNRLF) (FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or the “Company”) announces that it intends to implement a new Normal Course Issuer Bid (the “NCIB”) program to buy back common shares of Kontrol through the facilities of Cboe Canada Inc. (“Cboe Canada”) and/or alternative Canadian trading systems.

The NCIB has been approved by Kontrol’s board of directors and accepted by Cboe Canada and will be executed in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of Cboe Canada and any applicable Canadian securities laws. Pursuant to the NCIB, Kontrol may purchase, from time to time, over a period of 12 months starting April 14th, 2025, and ending April 14th, 2026, up to 2,757,858 common shares (representing 5 percent of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares).

On any given day, during the NCIB, Kontrol may only purchase up to 29,688 common shares, which is equivalent to 25% of the average daily trading volume of 118,753 calculated based on the trading volumes over the past 6 months, and may purchase once per calendar week, in a block trade, a greater number of common shares in accordance with the applicable policies of Cboe Canada.

Purchases under the NCIB may commence as of April 14th, 2025 and will end on the earlier of: (i) April 14th, 2026; or (ii) the date on which Kontrol has purchased the maximum number of common shares to be acquired under the NCIB. All purchases made will be through the selected purchasing member, Ventum Financial Corporation, acting on behalf of Kontrol. The purchases will be made in accordance with the rules of Cboe Canada, through the facilities of Cboe Canada, or through alternative Canadian trading systems. The actual number of common shares which will be purchased, the timing of such purchases, and the price at which the common shares will be purchased by Kontrol will be aligned with the rules and policies of the Cboe Canada Listing Manual. The common shares purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

Kontrol’s Board of Directors believes that the market price of Kontrol’s common shares may from time to time not reflect the underlying value of Kontrol, specifically its growth opportunities, and that the proposed purchasing of its common shares is in the best interests of Kontrol and represents an appropriate use of corporate funds. It is expected that any purchases made by Kontrol could also enhance value and liquidity for its shareholders.

Kontrol Technologies Corp.

Kontrol Technologies Corp., a Canadian public company, is a leader in smart buildings and cities through IoT, Cloud, and SaaS technology.

CARPINTERIA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$pcor–Procore Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: PCOR), a leading technology partner for every stage of construction, today released its first ever Future State of Construction Report, offering a data-driven look at the key trends and challenges shaping the construction industry across the next decade.

The inaugural report pairs extensive research and expert analysis from leading voices in the industry with survey data from over 1,200 construction decision-makers in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, and the United States. It offers a global, comprehensive view of emerging trends and challenges shaping the industry.

“The construction industry is at a turning point, and technology is the catalyst for its transformation,” said Procore Founder and CEO, Tooey Courtemanche. “AI, data and automation aren’t just driving efficiencies, they’re reshaping how we build, collaborate, and solve challenges. This is one of the most transformative periods in the history of construction, and at Procore, we’re committed to empowering the industry with the tools to navigate this future with confidence.”

Key Insights from the Future State of Construction Report:

• AI and Automation are Eliminating Inefficiencies and Maximizing Productivity
  • AI and automation are poised to significantly enhance productivity in construction. 18% of project time is currently lost searching for data, and 28% is wasted due to rework.
  • 55% of construction leaders believe automation will disrupt the industry within the next five years. By integrating AI-driven preconstruction tools and automation, companies can help reduce inefficiencies, improve project planning, and boost ROI.
• The Workforce is Changing – Upskilling and Well-Being are Critical
  • The construction workforce is undergoing a generational transformation. With 53% of workers expected to retire by 2036, companies are taking action to address this shift.
  • 47% of companies have upskilling programs in place, and 41% plan to implement them in the next year. These efforts are critical to attracting and retaining talent, especially as 60% of workers stay in construction for career growth and financial opportunities.

• AI-Driven Insights are Reshaping Decision-Making
  • Over 80% of construction executives agree that connected historical data is crucial to project success, though 76% of civil and infrastructure builders acknowledge they are not yet fully harnessing the potential of their data.
  • AI-driven insights will optimize tasks like scheduling and workforce allocation, while human expertise will remain essential in applying these insights effectively.
• Digital Tools are Empowering Builders to Lead the Design Process
  • 49% of construction professionals surveyed anticipate increased use of BIM for design collaboration and clash detection.
  • The design process is evolving as builders increasingly take the reins. Digital twins and AI-powered simulations will allow teams to optimize designs before construction even begins.
