## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**AlphaTON Capital Executes Binding Call Option to Sell Legacy Biotech Asset iOx Therapeutics to Immunova**

**Structure Preserves Shareholder Upside Through Equity, Milestones, Royalties, and Sublicensing Participation**

Dover, DE, Feb. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AlphaTON Capital Corp. (Nasdaq: ATON) ("AlphaTON" or the "Company"), the world's leading public technology company scaling the Telegram super app for an addressable market of over 1 billion monthly active users, today announced the execution of a binding call option agreement with Immunova, LLC ("Immunova"), granting Immunova, or an affiliate, the option to acquire iOx Therapeutics Limited ("iOx"), a wholly owned subsidiary of AlphaTON focused on developing liposomal iNKT agonists.

Upon exercise of the option and completion of the acquisition, AlphaTON would be entitled to an upfront cash payment at closing, equity consideration representing 10% of the fully diluted equity of the acquiring entity at the time of exercise, milestone payments potentially exceeding $100 million (payable upon achievement of specified milestones), and single-digit royalties on future net sales, subject to the terms of the definitive documentation.

iOx's lead candidate, PORT-2 (IMM60), a liposomal iNKT cell agonist, has been evaluated in advanced melanoma and metastatic NSCLC patients in the Phase 1/2 IMP-MEL study, conducted in the U.S. and U.K. (reported as the IMPORT-201 study).The program originated at the University of Oxford, and Merck provided pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA) under a clinical trial collaboration. Data presented at ASCO and SITC indicated PORT-2 was well tolerated as a monotherapy at all doses tested, with biomarker evidence of immune activation and preliminary signs of anti-tumor activity, including shrinkage in several lesions in heavily pre-treated PD-1 refractory patients.

The transaction enables AlphaTON to unlock value from iOx while maintaining significant participation in the future success of the pipeline through its equity stake, milestone payments, and royalty structure.

"Executing this agreement is an important step to unlock value from iOx while preserving meaningful long-term economic participation for AlphaTON," said Brittany Kaiser, Chief Executive Officer of AlphaTON Capital. "iOx is a differentiated, clinically supported lipid-based immune program, and placing it with Immunova enables dedicated execution under a focused development platform. We will continue to advance our mesothelioma program, where we remain on track to dose the first patient with TT-4, and we are progressing our new Telegram-oriented, AI-driven biotech initiative aimed at rare cancers. This is about maximizing value across the portfolio with clear priorities and disciplined execution."

Brian Horsburgh, PhD, CEO of Immunova, said: "We are pleased to partner with AlphaTON on this transaction. The iOx portfolio represents a differentiated lipid-based immune platform supported by human clinical data and compelling biomarker evidence, well aligned with our deep expertise in lipid science and development. With formalized rights to the assets, we intend to pursue a disciplined, capital-efficient, biomarker-driven development strategy to advance meaningful clinical milestones and build a focused clinical-stage biotechnology company to deliver new medicines for patients."

The call option is exercisable subject to certain conditions, including Immunova securing financing commitments. There can be no assurance that the call option will be exercised, that the contemplated transaction will be completed or that, if the transaction is completed, it will prove to be beneficial to AlphaTON. The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions.
