Insights

Corporate Governance Analyst

Oracle promoted two internal leaders to joint CEOs and moved its long‑time CEO to Executive Vice Chair.

Oracle elevated Clay Magouyrk and Mike Sicilia to co‑Chief Executive Officers, keeping senior leaders in place and assigning Safra Catz the role of Executive Vice Chair. The move preserves continuity across Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and industry application lines while keeping Larry Ellison in a guiding technical role.

The principal dependency for this change is leadership execution against the company’s existing strategy; the company also reaffirmed the financial guidance provided on Sept. 9, 2025. Key risks include any disruption during the leadership transition and the need for the new co‑CEOs to coordinate responsibilities cleanly to avoid mixed signals to customers and partners.

Watch the company conference call and live webcast at 8:00 a.m. Central Time on the announced Sept. 22, 2025 timing for management commentary and any clarifying operational details. Short‑term attention should focus on messaging about role division between the co‑CEOs and any near‑term changes to reporting or strategic priorities disclosed on the call.

WESTBROOK, Maine, Nov. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synergy CHC Corp. (NASDAQ: SNYR) (“Synergy” or the “Company”), a leading consumer health and wellness company, today announced the addition of five new Direct Store Delivery (DSD) partners, expanding retail distribution of its FOCUSfactor Focus + Energy Ready-to-Drink (RTD) functional beverages across Alaska, New York, Wisconsin, Virginia and Pennsylvania.

With these new partnerships, Synergy has now established DSD coverage in ten of 50 U.S. states, representing one-fifth of the country within the first six weeks of launch. This milestone reflects the Company’s strategy of rapidly building a coast-to-coast DSD network to support long-term national expansion.

“Consistent with Synergy’s approach to building a comprehensive DSD network across all 50 states, we are thrilled to add five more partners and bring our total to ten states covered,” said Jack Ross, CEO of Synergy CHC Corp. “Each of these distributors brings operational excellence, strong retail relationships and proven routes to market, accelerating FOCUSfactor’s momentum in the rapidly growing functional beverage category.”

New DSD Partners Expanding FOCUSfactor RTD Beverage Distribution Nationwide

All five distributors are authorized to sell the full FOCUSfactor RTD portfolio – including both the Focus + Energy drinks and the Focus + Energy brain-health shots – across their respective states (excluding the Club channel).

Three New Partners from The Sheehan Family Companies

Synergy has secured three new statewide distribution agreements with divisions of The Sheehan Family Companies, a fifth-generation distribution network operating since 1898 and recognized as one of the most established beverage wholesalers in the country. These partnerships significantly expand FOCUSfactor’s reach across New York, Wisconsin and Virginia.

Combining The Sheehan Family Companies’ resources with deep local expertise, Craft Beer Guild will distribute the full FOCUSfactor RTD portfolio throughout New York.
