RA'ANANA, Israel, May 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspira Technologies Oxy B.H.N. Ltd. (Nasdaq: IINN, IINNW) ("Inspira" or the "Company") today announced that, at the opening of trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 20, 2026, the Company's ordinary shares will begin trading under the new ticker symbol "QTEX" in connection with the Company's corporate name change to QTREX Quantum Ltd.

The new name reflects the Company's strategic focus on its Additively Manufactured Electronics ("AME") technology platform as a foundation for advanced manufacturing, high-performance electronics and quantum connectivity infrastructure.
QTREX is focused on applying its AME platform to one of quantum computing's critical hardware bottlenecks: connectivity inside dilution cryostats. As quantum systems scale, traditional wiring architectures add heat, noise, RF loss and mechanical complexity. QTREX's approach is to build monolithic interconnect structures that integrate conductors, RF dielectrics, shielding, thermal management and routing into a single engineered system for next-generation quantum connectivity infrastructure.
No further action is required by existing shareholders in connection with the name and ticker symbol change. CUSIP information and related operational details will be reflected by the Company's transfer agent and The Depository Trust Company in the ordinary course.
