EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 23/09/2026 / 10:19 UTC+8 The anniversary event highlighted the brand's mother-centered, all-in-one approach to postpartum care. DANA POINT, Calif., Sept. 23, 2026 - SAINT BELLA, a global luxury brand offering all-in-one postpartum care services, celebrated its first anniversary at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club with a curated event for expectant mothers. Dr. Judy Wei, an OB-GYN with nearly 20 years of experience, joined the event and shared professional insights on postpartum recovery, encouraging women to explore effective care options for a smoother, healthier recovery. The event theme, HER JOURNEY BEGINS - Welcome Aboard SAINT BELLA, honors the profound transition into motherhood. It underscores the time women need to recover, adjust, and prioritize self-care as they embrace their new roles. Guests attended a prenatal yoga session and an open conversation about pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the support women need before and after birth. SAINT BELLA's philosophy is built around a simple idea: postpartum support should begin with the mother. All too often, after birth, much of the attention shifts to the baby, leaving mothers to manage physical recovery, sleep loss, nutrition, and the learning curve of caring for a newborn at the same time. SAINT BELLA seamlessly integrates these needs into one comprehensive program, from bespoke postpartum recovery care and overnight newborn support, to practical parenting education and chef-prepared postpartum meals designed to nourish recovery. By managing these services as one experience, SAINT BELLA reduces the burden on families to coordinate multiple providers and gives mothers more time to rest and recover. Rooted in the Eastern tradition of dedicated postpartum care and elevated through contemporary maternal wellness, professional care standards and luxury hospitality, SAINT BELLA has brought its approach to families across China, Singapore, Thailand and the United States, through both hospitality-based settings and private in-home care."At SAINT BELLA, we’ve always been on the side of women," said Minee Lin, the co-founder of SAINT BELLA. Entering its second year at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach, SAINT BELLA aims to expand its integrated postpartum care model to more families across the United States. The brand extends its deepest gratitude to the mothers, families, guests, and partners who have supported this location since its opening. Loving you is loving life. About SAINT BELLA SAINT BELLA is the world’s largest postpartum care center operator by revenue. As of June 2026, the Group operated 148 locations worldwide and had served more than 100,000 families. Its presence spans China, Singapore, Thailand and the United States. In the U.S., SAINT BELLA has opened three locations at Baccarat Hotel & Residences New York, Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort & Club, and The Resort at Pelican Hill.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 23/09/2026 / 09:00 UTC+8 AlphaClaw gives the Nasdaq‑listed technology company a clearer platform strategy, but customer adoption, recurring revenue and capital discipline will determine whether the transition creates lasting value. (Anthony Tsang, president and executive director of ATGL, featured on the August 2026 cover of CAPITAL magazine.) The enterprise artificial intelligence market is moving beyond the initial excitement surrounding general‑purpose large language models. For investors, the more important question is now whether AI companies can turn technical capabilities into secure, repeatable and economically viable business applications. That shift provides the broader context for Alpha Technology Group Limited’s latest strategic repositioning. The Nasdaq‑listed Hong Kong technology company announced on June 25, 2026 that its principal business activities would focus on Exclusive Large Language Model solutions, AlphaClaw AI Agents and the AlphaClaw AI Agent Marketplace. The announcement represents a move away from ATGL’s historical identity as a provider of project‑based IT development, cloud services and AI‑powered optical character recognition solutions. (sec.gov) The strategy is commercially relevant. However, its investment significance will depend less on the language of AI innovation and more on the company’s ability to establish measurable adoption, recurring revenue and a defensible market position. A more focused enterprise‑AI proposition AlphaClaw consists of two connected offerings. The first is a suite of AI agents designed to support enterprise functions including customer service, human resources, sales and document processing. According to ATGL, most of the underlying skills are built using the company’s own Exclusive LLM technology and can be adapted to specific customer requirements. The second is the AlphaClaw AI Agent Marketplace, through which ATGL intends to distribute its own agents and potentially host agents or specialised skills developed by third‑party providers under revenue‑sharing arrangements. (sec.gov) Together, these offerings give ATGL a more coherent commercial structure than a conventional project‑based IT services model. Custom software projects generally depend on individual contracts, engineering capacity and one‑time implementation revenue. An agent platform, by contrast, could potentially generate a combination of deployment fees, subscriptions, usage‑based revenue and marketplace commissions. That distinction is important—but it remains a strategic possibility rather than a demonstrated financial outcome. For the marketplace model to become meaningful, ATGL will need more than a catalogue of internally developed tools. It will need active enterprise customers, credible third‑party contributors, reliable quality controls and enough transaction volume to create a functioning commercial ecosystem. The opportunity lies in applied AI ATGL does not need to compete directly with the world’s largest foundation‑model developers to build a viable business. Its more realistic opportunity may lie in applied enterprise AI: adapting models to specific workflows, integrating them with existing systems and providing organisations with greater control over data, security and operational processes. This approach could be particularly relevant to companies and public‑sector organisations that want to deploy AI without relying entirely on generic consumer‑facing platforms. ATGL describes AlphaClaw as a secure and customisable environment intended for commercial applications, although investors will ultimately need customer deployments and performance data to evaluate those claims. (sec.gov) The company’s industry collaborations may offer early indications of how that strategy could be applied. On June 16, 2026, ATGL announced a partnership with Wai Yuen Tong Medicine to develop an AI‑ and blockchain‑based traceability system for traditional Chinese medicine. The project illustrates a potential vertical use case combining data management, product verification and industry‑specific technology. (sec.gov) ATGL has also previously established AlphaMind Lab with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology to conduct research into more efficient development of dedicated AI models. While research partnerships can support technical credibility, their commercial value will depend on whether the resulting intellectual property produces deployable products, customer contracts or licensing opportunities. (sec.gov) Commercial evidence is now the central question For institutional investors, product descriptions alone will not be sufficient. The next stage of the ATGL investment case will depend on measurable operating indicators, including:‑ the number of paying AlphaClaw customers;‑ the distinction between pilot projects and full commercial deployments;‑ contract values and revenue‑recognition schedules;‑ subscription or usage‑based revenue;‑ customer retention and expansion;‑ gross margins associated with AI deployments;‑ marketplace participation by third‑party developers; and‑ the cost of acquiring and supporting enterprise customers. These indicators would allow investors to distinguish between a promising technology concept and a scalable commercial platform. Until such data are disclosed, AlphaClaw should be viewed as an early‑stage strategic platform rather than an established growth engine. The financial starting point remains challenging ATGL’s historical financial results underline the scale of the transition. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, the company reported revenue of approximately US$950,541, a decline of 40.13% from the prior fiscal year. Gross profit fell to approximately US$467,577. ATGL also reported a net loss of approximately US$9.05 million, although that figure included approximately US$5.56 million in share-based compensation and approximately US$1.74 million in impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets. (sec.gov) These results mainly reflect the company’s historical operations and pre-date the formal positioning of AlphaClaw as a principal business activity. They therefore do not provide a complete measure of the new strategy’s potential. At the same time, they establish a demanding baseline. The AI transition will need to produce not only revenue growth, but also an improvement in revenue quality, operating efficiency and cash generation. As of September 30, 2025, ATGL held approximately US$3.97 million in cash and cash equivalents and reported approximately US$1.69 million of net cash used in operating activities during the fiscal year. The company stated that its available financial resources were expected to meet anticipated cash needs for at least 12 months from the date of its annual report. (sec.gov) Investors should consequently monitor development expenditure, hiring, customer-acquisition costs and any future debt or equity financing. A platform strategy can offer greater scalability, but building the platform, supporting enterprise customers and attracting external developers can also require sustained investment before meaningful recurring revenue emerges. A credible strategy that now requires validation ATGL’s strategic repositioning reflects a broader change in the AI industry. The initial competition to build increasingly powerful models is being followed by a commercial race to deploy AI inside real business processes. Companies that can combine specialised models, workflow integration, data protection and reliable enterprise support may be able to capture value without competing directly with the largest global technology platforms. AlphaClaw gives ATGL a clearer position within that market. The combination of proprietary agents, customisable enterprise applications and a curated marketplace offers a more scalable narrative than the company’s historical project‑based services. But a clearer narrative is not the same as a proven business model. For professional investors, the most important signals will be customer adoption, recurring revenue, gross‑margin development, cash discipline and evidence that ATGL’s partnerships and strategic initiatives contribute directly to commercial growth. The company has now defined the direction of its transformation. The next task is to demonstrate that the technology can produce repeatable business outcomes. Investor takeaway ATGL has established a more focused enterprise‑AI strategy through AlphaClaw, but the investment case will depend on whether the company can convert its technology, partnerships and platform ambitions into disclosed customer adoption, recurring revenue and sustainable cash generation. 23/09/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 22/09/2026 / 17:44 UTC+8 Vaccine manufacturers, global health organizations and regulators gathered in Beijing for talks aimed at strengthening cooperation across vaccine research, production and supply, as countries seek more resilient systems to respond to routine and emerging disease threats, on Tuesday, Sept. 22, 2026, Beijing time. Representatives of more than 40 vaccine manufacturers from 17 countries, including nine companies from China, are attending the 27th Annual General Meeting of the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN). The three-day meeting at the China World Hotel brings together vaccine producers, researchers, international organizations, development institutions and public health authorities. Participants include representatives from the World Health Organization, UNICEF, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations, the Gates Foundation and the World Bank Group. This year’s theme, “Transforming Innovation into immunisation,” centers on how scientific advances can be translated into vaccines that meet public health needs, can be produced at scale and can reach the populations that need them. The agenda covers cooperation in vaccine research, technology transfer, manufacturing, regulation and international procurement. Delegates are also discussing pathways to WHO prequalification, the use of artificial intelligence in vaccine development and production, public confidence in vaccination and the development of sustainable vaccine markets. DCVMN Chief Executive Officer Rajinder Kumar Suri said the meeting offered manufacturers an opportunity to build long-term relationships with global health institutions, development partners and other members of the vaccine industry. “In Beijing, we are moving beyond the familiar to explore genuinely new approaches to how vaccines are financed, developed, produced and delivered, and to ensure that the voices of manufacturers in developing countries help shape the future of immunisation,” Suri said. Manufacturers in developing countries are playing an increasingly important role in global vaccine supply, particularly in providing affordable vaccines for routine immunisation programs. Their further integration into international supply systems will depend on sustained cooperation in technology access, regulatory alignment, quality management and procurement. DCVMN seeks to support that process by representing manufacturers in international discussions and connecting them with global health organizations and industry partners. China’s experience in building vaccine research, manufacturing and disease-control capacity was among the examples discussed at the meeting. An official from China’s National Disease Control and Prevention Administration said producing a vaccine was only the first step toward reducing the burden of infectious diseases, and that innovation must ultimately be translated into broad, well-regulated immunisation programs that respond to public health needs. China has developed a broad-based vaccine research and production system capable of serving both domestic immunisation programs and overseas markets. According to the official, nine vaccine products from China have obtained WHO prequalification and entered international procurement and supply systems, while vaccines produced in the country are used in disease-prevention programs across Asia, Africa and Latin America. China has also remained polio-free, eliminated neonatal tetanus and been certified malaria-free by the WHO. Beijing officials said the city would continue to support international cooperation in vaccine research, manufacturing and professional training. The Chinese capital is home to numerous universities, research institutes, hospitals and biopharmaceutical companies, while industrial clusters such as the Daxing biomedical industry base help translate research into products and manufacturing capacity. A dedicated session at the meeting will examine how these resources can be linked more closely with public health priorities and international partnerships. The meeting comes as governments and global health organizations seek to diversify vaccine production and make supply chains more resilient to future health emergencies. Discussions in Beijing have also focused on forms of cooperation that go beyond the transfer of individual products or technologies, with longer-term partnerships aimed at strengthening local capabilities in research, regulation, manufacturing and workforce development. DCVMN describes its annual meeting as a forum where manufacturers can present their priorities directly to global health organizations, development partners and national institutions, while gaining a clearer understanding of international standards and procurement requirements. The meeting runs through Sept. 24. About DCVMN Founded in 2000, the Developing Countries Vaccine Manufacturers Network (DCVMN) is a voluntary, public health-oriented, non-profit international organisation of vaccine manufacturers from developing countries, with its international secretariat based in Switzerland. Spanning 17 countries, the network brings together more than 40 manufacturers who contribute more than 60% of global vaccine production and supply vaccines to over 170 countries. DCVMN members have met up to 70% of the vaccine demand of Africa, PAHO and Gavi 5.0. Guided by its motto "We connect to protect", DCVMN promotes the sustained supply of and equitable access to quality, affordable vaccines through capacity building, professional training and technical exchanges.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 22/09/2026 / 12:45 UTC+8 Facilitating Pollution Reduction, Carbon Emission Cuts, and Efficiency Gains for the Chemical Industry via "Zero Incineration, Zero Carbon Emission" Pure Physical Recovery Technology (Hong Kong, 22 September 2026) Beijing Sino-Hypro Petrochemical Tech. Co., Ltd. (北京信諾海博石化科技發展有限公司) ("Sino-Hypro"), a chemical gas separation and recovery enterprise under Yip's Chemical Holdings Limited (SEHK: 00408) ("Yip's Chemical" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries collectively referred to as the "Group"), was invited to attend the 23rd International Chemical Industry Fair (ICIF 2026) held last week at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Against the regulatory backdrop of the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan" and the implementation of the Ecological Environment Code, Sino-Hypro showcased its self-developed "milligram-level (mg-level) oil and gas recovery technology". Centered on pure physical recovery, the technology ensures mg-level compliance for tail gas emissions without creating additional carbon emissions, becoming a major highlight among domestic and international industry stakeholders at the exhibition. Self-Developed Customised Processes Break Free from Traditional Incineration Limits, Demonstrating Outstanding Environmental and Economic Synergies As a National High-Tech Enterprise, Sino-Hypro has focused on the R&D and application of industrial organic gas separation and recovery technologies since its founding in 2008. The company operates an equipment manufacturing plant and R&D center in Qingdao, Shandong, holding over 30 invention patents. Managing volatile organic compound (VOCs) emissions during the production, storage, and transportation of oil and chemical products has long been an industry pain point. Given the wide variety of VOCs, dispersed emission sources, and differing site conditions, there is no one-size-fits-all recovery process. Confronted with increasingly stringent domestic environmental standards, Sino-Hypro did not settle for the shortcut of simple technology introduction. Instead, grounded in fundamental chemical engineering theory and continuous iterations through self-developed engineering experiments, the company delivers customised solutions tailored to specific gas characteristics and site conditions. Breaking away from traditional simple incineration models, Sino-Hypro adheres to a self-developed "pure physical recovery" route, offering advantages that extend far beyond emission reduction: Safety and Compliance: The process operates entirely at ambient temperatures, eliminating deflagration risks and aligning with the petrochemical industry's strict anti-explosion and open-flame standards. Flexibility and Efficiency: The equipment footprint is compact and free from safety distance constraints, allowing for flexible site selection. Resource Recycling: Centered on adsorption separation, organic matter in the oil gas is efficiently adsorbed and liquefied into reusable resources, achieving "source-to-source recycling and in-situ recovery". While ensuring milligram-level tail gas emissions compliance, it generates substantial economic value for enterprises. Mr. Zhang Guorui (張國瑞on the right of the picture above), Founder and Chief Engineer of Sino-Hypro, graduated from East China Petroleum Institute (now China University of Petroleum) in 1982. As a Senior Engineer in Petrochemical Processes, he served as Chief Engineer at PetroChina Urumqi Petrochemical Engineering Institute for over two decades. He stated: "We have successfully deployed over 140 sets of equipment that have stably achieved milligram-level tail gas concentration standards. The essence of oil and gas recovery is to efficiently recover organic matter in liquid form, allowing compliant tail gas to be discharged directly into the atmosphere. Our technology generally achieves an organic substance recovery rate of over 99.95%. Taking a 10,000 m³/h crude oil recovery unit at a major domestic port as an example, while recovering 5 tonnes of crude oil per hour, it directly reduces carbon emissions by 15 tonnes per hour compared to traditional incineration methods. Our latest R&D technology reduces non-methane total hydrocarbon concentrations in tail gas below 60 mg/m³ and benzene series compounds below 2 mg/m³, demonstrating outstanding environmental and economic synergies. This provides the petrochemical industry with a Chinese solution that achieves 'zero incineration, zero carbon emission, and waste-gas-to-resource transformation'. Mr. Hu Xiaopeng (胡小鹏on the left of the picture above), General Manager of Sino-Hypro, pointed out: "With the deepened implementation of policies such as the VOC Environmental Protection Tax, procurement logic among major petrochemical clients is undergoing a profound shift. It is upgrading from merely pursuing 'tail gas emission compliance' to meticulously calculating the 'three accounts': direct financial returns from recovered oil and gas, VOC environmental tax reductions, and reduced carbon compliance pressure through resource recycling." To date, Sino-Hypro’s service footprint extensively covers domestic petrochemical giants such as PetroChina, Sinopec, and Wanhua Chemical, while successfully entering Shell’s supply chain system. Sino-Hypro guarantees a 10-year adsorbent lifespan directly in its contracts, and all deployed installations operate stably, earning high acclaim from clients. Mr. Hu emphasised: "When large clients purchase an oil and gas recovery system, they are not buying a simple machine, but a complete system solution capable of operating reliably and continuously for ten years. All economic returns are built on the foundation of long-term, stable, mg-level compliance." This capability for sustained compliance serves as Sino-Hypro’s core moat to maintain high gross margins amid low-price competition in the industry. Yip’s Chemical Strategic Restructuring Reshapes Business Portfolio and Profit Quality With a 55-year history since its founding in 1971, Yip’s Chemical has faced global market volatility and intensified domestic industry competition in recent years. The Group has adopted strategic portfolio optimisation as its core transformation strategy, proactively scaling down low-barrier businesses with intense market competition, concentrating resources on core strengths, and reallocating capital into high-tech emerging businesses to enhance overall risk resistance and profit quality. Last month, the Group announced its 2026 interim results, reporting a significant year-on-year increase of 113.5% in profit attributable to owners to HK$141 million, with overall gross margin increasing by 2.1 percentage points year-on-year to 26.9%. Mr. Ip Kwan, Francis (fourth from the left in the front row of the picture above), Chief Executive Officer of Yip’s Chemical, stated: "Deeply cultivated the chemical industry for over half a century, Yip’s Chemical holds deep passion and operational expertise in the sector. Therefore, our transformation remains steadfastly anchored in the chemical core, while setting two mandatory criteria for project selection: first, it must deliver environmental benefits; second, it must possess high technological content. At the end of 2025, the Group successfully acquired an approximately 60% equity in Sino-Hypro, officially entering the field of 'Chemical Gas Separation and Recovery'. This new business aligns seamlessly with national 'Dual Carbon' strategies and environmental policy directions, marking a pivotal milestone in the Group’s transition toward a high-tech, high-value-added specialty chemical enterprise. Since completing the acquisition, we have supported Sino-Hypro across multiple dimensions, including client resources, supply chain, talent, and management systems. The Group’s management will continue to collaborate closely with the founding shareholders to leverage Sino-Hypro’s strong technical foundation alongside Yip’s Chemical’s operational experience and resource network to deepen synergies. I firmly believe Sino-Hypro will continue to unlock strong commercial potential." Mr. Ip continued: "Looking ahead, the Group will adopt 'a leading development platform for chemical businesses' as its core strategic positioning. While consolidating its existing core businesses such as coatings and inks, the Group will leverage its financial strengths of low gearing and robust cash flow. Through a dual-driven strategy of 'in-house incubation' and 'active acquisitions', we will nurture emerging businesses and proactively seek high-quality M&A targets. Furthermore, the Group has established a dedicated team to actively capture market opportunities, targeting environmental protection and new energy industrial projects as key strategic priorities to drive high-quality and sustainable development." - End - About Yip’s Chemical Holdings Limited (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) Founded in 1971 and listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (SEHK: 00408) since 1991, Yip’s Chemical has been dedicated to the chemical industry for more than half a century.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 21/09/2026 / 16:29 UTC+8 Recently, Nebius announced a blanket price increase for its GPU cloud services effective October 1, with an average hike of roughly 20% covering multiple chip models including H100 and H200. This marks the second round of price rises from Nebius since May this year. It is understood that some clients have reserved computing capacity as far ahead as 2028, with demand visibility stretching beyond 24 months. Amid a widening supply-demand gap, data centre operators are gaining stronger pricing power, and the industry landscape is undergoing shifts. Domestically, Xunce Technology (03317.HK, the “Company”) launched TokenCloud, an all-in-one computing platform for AI model training and inference, in early September. The platform aims to deliver end-to-end workflows spanning data ingestion, computing resource orchestration, model inference optimisation, and refinement and deployment of enterprise small models. The Company recently issued a circular, outlining plans to invest up to RMB 12 billion in phased development of AI inference and computing centres, subject to approval by the extraordinary general meeting. Why is Xunce Technology proactively building computing infrastructure? First and foremost, the move is driven by client demand. Xunce has built up a large roster of high-quality clients and robust cloud orders. TokenCloud’s development is built around its highest-quality order pipeline, delivering near 100% cloud utilisation with no idle capacity awaiting tenants. TokenCloud represents a natural extension of Xunce’s upstream and downstream capabilities, similar to the “Taobao & Tmall + Ali Cloud” model. Beyond demand secured under customer orders, this platform is also backed by solid technical architecture. Computing‑acceleration features are embedded end-to-end – from request ingestion, computing execution through result delivery – to sustain high utilisation of every accelerator card. Second, high‑quality orders further reinforce TokenCloud’s operational resilience. Unlike standard pricing for generic cloud leasing, Xunce holds contracts with favourable commercial terms featuring higher contract values and longer tenors. The high quality of these orders stems from its FDE model, which is deeply embedded in clients’ operational scenarios. Its services are tightly integrated with clients’ day‑to‑day operations, creating substantial switching costs. Deep integration between the product suite and client businesses fosters long‑term trusted relationships validated by real‑world deployment. As of end‑June 2026, customer retention exceeded 90%. ARPU rose from RMB 1.64 million in the same period last year to RMB 5.56 million, representing a year‑on‑year increase of approximately 240%. Third, stable order books also translate into meaningful benefits in capital costs. Xunce recently issued a circular proposing to seek a syndicated loan facility of tens of billions of renminbi. This low‑cost financing is underpinned by the Company’s shareholder profile and lenders’ recognition of the quality of its order book. In addition, Xunce has formed deep strategic partnerships with domestic GPU vendors including MetaX, Biren and Iluvatar CoreX to jointly develop training‑and‑inference chips and platform ecosystems for vertical sectors and enterprise AI use cases. As full‑stack domestic AI development moves into systematic engineering optimisation, platforms that package heterogeneous computing resources and models into services are emerging as a critical enabler for enterprises deploying domestic AI solutions. Reliable upstream supply and solid downstream orders provide dual safeguards for TokenCloud. Meanwhile, the positive feedback loop between TokenCloud and TokenOS gives the model its self‑reinforcing properties. TokenOS focuses on refining data capabilities to unlock usable data; TokenCloud focuses on model training and inference plus data‑model integration to address hardware orchestration challenges. The two platforms deliver deep synergy for AI To B scenarios. Higher adoption of TokenCloud drives growth in TokenOS revenue and gross margins. In turn, ongoing improvements to TokenOS bring higher quality clients and orders to TokenCloud. Together, the two platforms reinforce one another, creating a flywheel effect. Fuelled by the non‑linear surge in inference‑computing demand driven by AI Agents, infrastructure providers with end‑to‑end delivery capabilities will be among the first to enter a period of accelerating earnings growth. By deepening its footprint in downstream business scenarios and engaging upstream with algorithm and computing ecosystems, Xunce Technology stands poised for strategic re‑rating as it evolves from a “digital infrastructure foundation” to an “AI productivity platform”. 21/09/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 21/09/2026 / 10:56 UTC+8 Stable leadership, a strengthened management team and a clearly defined enterprise AI strategy may give Alpha Technology Group the organizational foundation needed to turn AlphaClaw into a scalable commercial platform. Alpha Technology Group Limited (Nasdaq: ATGL) is entering a new stage of development. The company is moving beyond its traditional project‑based technology services and concentrating its business around Exclusive Large Language Model solutions, AlphaClaw AI Agents and the AlphaClaw AI Agent Marketplace. At the center of this transformation is Anthony Tsang, ATGL’s president and executive director. Tsang owns 397,500 Class A ordinary shares and all 1.2 million outstanding Class B ordinary shares. Each Class B share carries 20 votes, compared with one vote for each Class A share. According to ATGL’s annual report filed on January 30, 2026, Tsang controlled approximately 62.14% of the company’s voting power. (sec.gov) For a company undertaking a major strategic transition, this level of control can be a clear advantage. It gives ATGL stable leadership, a consistent decision‑making structure and the ability to pursue a long‑term plan without repeatedly changing direction in response to short‑term market pressures. Control Creates Strategic Continuity Technology transformations require more than a new product announcement. They demand coordinated decisions across research, product development, capital allocation, recruitment, partnerships and market expansion. Tsang’s voting position gives ATGL a clear center of strategic leadership. It allows the company to make decisions efficiently and align its resources behind a single AI‑focused direction. This is particularly relevant because ATGL is not simply adding another service to its existing portfolio. The company is restructuring its core business around enterprise AI products that are intended to be reusable, customizable and commercially scalable. Tsang’s position also provides clear accountability. Investors can identify the person responsible for setting the company’s direction and overseeing its execution. His controlling interest supports continuity between ATGL’s technology vision, management structure and long‑term commercial objectives. Management Restructuring Supports the Transformation ATGL has complemented this strategic control with a significant expansion of its leadership team. On April 24, 2026, the company appointed Terry Branstad, Mark Kirk and Zhang Fengyi as executive directors. It also added Eric Branstad as chief development officer, Abeer Shoukry‑Al Otaiba as chief strategy officer, Steve Kim as chief legal officer and Eugene Carpino as senior adviser. ATGL said the board reconstitution was intended to support the exploration of new markets, including expansion into the United States. (sec.gov) These appointments should be viewed as part of the same transformation being led by Tsang. The new team adds experience in international business development, government relations, legal and regulatory affairs, corporate strategy and cross‑border markets. These capabilities could help ATGL build commercial relationships, enter new markets and present its AI products to a broader range of enterprise and institutional customers. The structure is now more clearly defined: Tsang provides strategic continuity and decision‑making authority, while the expanded leadership team brings the specialized capabilities required for commercialization and international growth. For investors, this alignment is important. ATGL is pairing control with execution resources rather than relying on strategy alone. AlphaClaw Defines the New Business Model On June 25, 2026, ATGL announced that its principal business activities would focus on Exclusive LLM solutions and two integrated offerings: AlphaClaw AI Agents and the AlphaClaw AI Agent Marketplace. The company also said its earlier cloud‑based IT and AI OCR services had been integrated into or replaced by these offerings. (sec.gov) AlphaClaw AI Agents are designed for enterprise functions such as human resources, customer service, sales and document processing. The agents are largely powered by ATGL’s own Exclusive LLM technology and can be tailored to specific customer requirements. The AlphaClaw AI Agent Marketplace extends this model by offering agents and related capabilities from both ATGL and external providers. Third‑party developers and partners may participate through revenue‑sharing arrangements. Together, these products could move ATGL toward a more scalable business model. Instead of creating every customer solution from the beginning, the company can develop reusable AI capabilities and customize them for different industries. Enterprise licenses, subscriptions, usage‑based fees and marketplace revenue sharing could also broaden the company’s potential revenue sources. ATGL’s emphasis on exclusive LLMs, data isolation and cloud or on‑premises deployment may be especially relevant to enterprises that require customized AI systems and greater control over proprietary information. Research Provides a Technology Foundation ATGL’s commercial strategy is also supported by its research collaboration with the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. On March 27, 2025, ATGL and HKUST announced the establishment of AlphaMind Lab, which focuses on developing Alpha Engine. The proposed “training AI with AI” architecture is intended to reduce the time and resources required for data collection, manual annotation and customized AI‑model development. (sec.gov) This initiative fits naturally with AlphaClaw. If Alpha Engine can accelerate the development of specialized models, ATGL may be able to create and deploy customized AI agents more efficiently. The combination of university research, proprietary LLM capabilities, ready‑to‑use AI agents and a third‑party marketplace gives ATGL a connected technology strategy rather than a collection of unrelated products. The Financial Starting Point ATGL’s fiscal 2025 results largely reflect its earlier business model rather than the AlphaClaw strategy announced in June 2026. For the year ended September 30, 2025, revenue declined 40.13% to approximately 9.05 million, including about 1.74 million in combined goodwill and intangible‑asset impairment charges. (sec.gov) These historical figures provide a baseline, but future progress will increasingly be measured by the commercial performance of AlphaClaw. Investors should watch for several indicators: growth in paying enterprise customers; subscriptions, licenses and other recurring revenue; commercial deployment of AlphaClaw agents; activity within the AI Agent Marketplace; partnerships and customer expansion outside Hong Kong; and technology emerging from AlphaMind Lab. These indicators will show whether the company’s new strategy is developing into a repeatable commercial model. Investment Conclusion Anthony Tsang’s strategic control could be the key factor connecting ATGL’s technology, leadership and commercial ambitions. His voting position gives the company continuity and the ability to execute a consistent long‑term plan. The expanded board and management team add international, regulatory, legal and business‑development experience. AlphaClaw, meanwhile, gives the company a defined product and platform strategy built around enterprise AI. Taken together, these developments represent a coordinated transformation rather than a series of separate announcements. ATGL’s next stage will depend on converting this organizational alignment into customers, deployments and recurring revenue. The company now has a clearer strategic direction, a strengthened leadership structure and an AI platform designed for broader commercial use. Tsang’s control ensures that the transformation has a stable center of leadership. The management restructuring provides the team needed to execute it. AlphaClaw provides the commercial platform around which ATGL can build its future growth. 21/09/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 16/09/2026 / 07:00 UTC+8 (16 September 2026, Hong Kong) VX Logistics Development Group Co., Ltd. (“VX Logistics” or the “Company”), Asia’s leading cold chain logistics network operator, transforms the supply chain operation of fresh fruit and vegetables industry through applying AI technology and sophisticated automation and leveraging the world-first robot for metro delivery self-developed by the Company. The world-first robot designed for deliveries to metro-station retailers is self-developed by VX Logistics. The robot functions as an actual “on-duty” employee in VX Logistics’ day-to-day operations. It has been rolled out at 61 Shenzhen metro stations, handling replenishment and delivery tasks for on-site retailers. Within VX Logistics’ business operations, these intelligent devices are working in tandem with the Company’s proprietary OTWB end-to-end management system and digital platforms such as IoT-based cold-chain temperature control. VX Logistics’ smart operation offers an efficient solution to every link of the supply chain. “Each of these technologies is powerful on its own, but their true value emerges when they work together — data flows from the point of origin to end customer, and quality becomes predictable and controllable,” said Emma Wu (Wu Beiwen), chairperson of VX Logistics, adding that this is not merely an enhancement at any single stage of logistics services, but it represents a transformation in the very way the industry functions. The value of technology goes beyond efficiency. Emma Wu noticed that a large number of overseas fresh fruit brands are stepping up their presence in China, while many domestic brands are showing a strong desire to go global. Emma Wu remarked: “A growing number of international brands are now registering Chinese brand names, setting up dedicated consumer brand teams, and increasing their investment at the retail end. The essence of branding lies in brand owners extending their quality commitment to the end consumer. This, in turn, requires them to maintain effective control of product condition at every link of the domestic supply chain. The same applies to Chinese brands going global.” In the past, once imported fruit arrived at port, quality essentially entered a “black box” — brand owners had no visibility over key metrics like arrival temperature, handling status, or outbound records across the supply chain. Emma Wu added that AI is transforming the fresh fruit and vegetables industry from one that “runs on experience” to one that “makes decisions with data.” In sorting and quality inspection, AI vision technology can assess coloration, size, and defects within a second — with greater accuracy and consistency than the human eye. In warehousing, automated equipment is taking over repetitive tasks such as material handling and palletizing. In transportation, IoT sensors track the temperature and location of every load in real time, and could raise the alarm before any issue arises. Built around the unique characteristics of berry products, VX Logistics has customized a comprehensive end-to-end solution encompassing precision temperature and humidity management as well as rapid in-warehouse throughput — supporting the annual market launch of close to 200 million boxes of berries for Driscoll’s. Zespri has been a partner of VX Logistics for over a decade. VX Logistics has built a full end-to-end system for Zespri in China - covering warehousing, quality inspection, ripening, automated sorting, and packaging. “Cold-chain logistics is not a cost center — it is a value center.” She further pointed out that cold-chain logistics today is no longer merely a cost item for warehousing and transportation. It is a provider of supply chain solutions for brand clients. Both expanding overseas and deepening presence in China demand stable temperature and humidity control and quality assurance. The technological nature and professional reliability of cold-chain operations make cold-chain logistics an “added value” that safeguards product quality and reduces loss. After 13 years of dedicated development, VX Logistics’ cold-chain scale now ranks first in Asia and stands firmly among the global top tier. As the supply chain service provider behind renowned fruit brands such as Zespri, Driscoll’s, Envy Apples, and Rockit, VX Logistics’ core competitive edge lies in its technology-driven supply chain services. Emma Wu (Wu Beiwen) Chairperson, VX Logistics Emma Wu currently serves as the chairperson of VX Logistics. As an active practitioner of China's supply chain globalisation, she focuses on cold chain, fresh produce supply chain, logistics infrastructure, and industrial synergy. Under her leadership, VX Logistics has become an industry-leading integrated multi-temperature logistics service provider, with its cold chain capacity firmly leading in Asia and among the top tier globally. - End - Issued by: VX Logistics Development Co., Ltd.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 15/09/2026 / 10:09 UTC+8 Share price movements can at times outpace operating metrics and readily amplify market sentiment. In March 2025, DPC Dash Ltd – Domino’s Pizza China (Hereafter referred to as “DPC Dash” or the “Company”) saw its share price once hit an all-time high of HK$125.2. As of September 2026, the stock had pulled back to around HK$30.36, representing a drawdown of more than 70% from its peak. Yet a shift of focus away from share-price performance toward operational data paints a different picture. In the first half of 2026, core metrics including revenue, store network and operating cash flow maintained double-digit growth. Transaction volume rose 33.7% year-on-year, while same-store transaction volume stayed positive for the 22nd consecutive quarter, posting a 7.1% increase in the first half. In short, despite the sharp share-price correction, the Company’s core operating indicators have not deteriorated to a comparable degree. This divergence offers an important lens for understanding its current valuation. Over the recent period, subsidy-driven competition among food-delivery platforms has indeed created certain disruptions for the chain catering sector. DPC Dash’s average transaction value slipped from RMB 80.7 to RMB 72.9 in H1, and same-store sales fell 4.8% year-on-year. Short-term pressure is concentrated primarily on the pricing front. Nevertheless, metrics such as transaction volume, store-network expansion and cash flow point to the Company’s solid underlying growth base. As external disruptions gradually abate, the market faces a key reassessment: how much of the current share price reflects near-term headwinds, and how much reflects the Company’s intrinsic long-term value? Viewed from this perspective, what DPC Dash is experiencing may be more than a simple share-price pullback — it represents a noteworthy valuation dislocation. Major broker-dealers covering the stock have set target prices generally ranging from HK$41 to HK$51, implying roughly 30%-70% potential upside versus prevailing share levels. Two recent corporate developments may serve as a window into whether this valuation dislocation can be resolved. 01 Fundamental Resilience First, the data. In H1 2026, the Company recorded revenue of RMB 3.134 billion, up 20.8% year-on-year. Profit attributable to equity holders of the Company reached RMB 81.05 million, a 22.9% year-on-year increase. Its store network expanded across 75 cities with a total store count of 1,550, representing a net addition of 235 outlets during the first half of the year. By store number, Chinese Mainland has become Domino’s second-largest international market globally, excluding the U.S. domestic market. In H1, net cash generated from operating activities rose to RMB 505 million from RMB 361 million in the same period last year, marking a roughly 39.8% year-on-year increase. Expansion is largely funded by organic operating cash flow, and the gearing ratio has fallen to 7.9%. On the same-store front, volume dynamics remain healthy. Same-store transaction volume grew 7.1% in H1, staying positive for 22 consecutive quarters, while same-store transaction volume for new city markets turned positive for the first time, rebounding from -19.1% in the same period last year to +2.2%. Consumer demand for the brand has not weakened due to subsidy disturbances. Short-term pressure is concentrated on pricing. Third-party aggregator delivery revenue surged 81% year-on-year, dragging down overall average transaction price. By contrast, average transaction price for orders placed via the Company’s proprietary channels has long stayed above RMB 90. As platform subsidies taper off, some orders are expected to flow back to proprietary channels, laying out a relatively clear path for average-transaction-price recovery. In addition, per CFO Wu Ting’s remarks at the results briefing, same-store sales growth will turn positive in 2027, average transaction price will gradually recover, and profit margins will keep improving. Multiple broker-dealers have reached comparable conclusions. Huatai Securities maintains a “Buy” rating with a target price of HK$40.99 per share. It believes that structural improvements in average transaction value and same-store performance are foreseeable, driven by better channel mix and the fading high-base effect of new-city store openings. Guotai Haitong Securities maintains an “Accumulate” rating, forecasting a recovery in same-store sales and profit margins post-2027. GF Securities assigns a 0.9-times PEG for 2026, arriving at a fair value of HK$50.92 per share and maintaining a “Buy” rating. It highlights the brand’s strong momentum, solid expansion outlook, progressive profit release and status as a fast-growing business. Huachuang Securities retains a “Recommend” rating with a HK$46.41 target price. Its research note points out that the new-store economics remain robust, the brand’s replication capability in untapped markets continues to be validated, store expansion enjoys high certainty, and headquarters-level scale effects are still being unlocked. Broadly speaking, market disagreement centres mainly on how long near-term same-store-related pressures will persist, while consensus prevails regarding the Company’s long-term growth thesis. Notably, management reaffirmed its medium-term target of reaching 3,000 stores by 2030 during the results call. From the current base of 1,550 stores, nearly 100% further growth potential remains. This demonstrates management’s assessment of China’s pizza-market penetration upside as well as confidence in its own expansion capacity. 02 Stake-building: A Statement Through Time The financial metrics above paint a clear profile of DPC Dash as a chain catering enterprise in the midst of scale expansion: its store network is enlarging, cash flow is strengthening, and transaction-volume fundamentals remain firm. Pricing-side disturbances stem from external subsidy dynamics rather than erosion in the brand’s pricing power. Market consensus has largely converged on one view: near-term same-store pressures will require time to absorb, yet medium-to-long-term growth visibility remains intact. Against this fundamental backdrop, moves by core shareholders carry particular significance. According to the equity disclosure data of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the major shareholder Good Taste Limited increased its stake through multiple transactions in 2026, with its shareholding climbed from 32.80% at the start of the year to 34.01% as of 3September. Notably, these purchases spanned share-price levels from the HK$50 range down to the HK$30 range, rather than being concentrated at a single price point. Stake-building persisted even after the release of interim results. Amid persistent market volatility, staggered stake-building at varying price levels reflects conviction in long-term intrinsic value, rather than attempts to time the near-term market bottom. This stake-building aligns with the evolution of corporate fundamentals and signals core shareholders’ confidence in DPC Dash’s long-term value and development prospects. 03 Incentives: Cascading Down the Interest-Alignment Chain If shareholder stake-building represents confidence expressed at the investor level, the concurrent roll-out of share-based incentives extends that confidence downwards to management and front-line teams. On 31August, under its 2022 First Share Incentive Plan, the Company granted 3.4196million share options to 15 employees, among whom four senior executives received 1.9459million options. The exercise price stands at HK$35.64 per option, above the closing price of HK$33.3 on the grant date. On the same day, pursuant to its 2022 Second Share Incentive Plan, the Company awarded 1.0171million share awards to 58 employees. A trust will be established whereby the trustee will purchase existing shares in the market to satisfy future vesting obligations. Several design features embedded in these ongoing incentive arrangements merit attention. The exercise price of share options is set above the grant-date market price. For options to generate economic gains, the share price must rise above the exercise price in future periods. This directly ties the financial returns of incentive recipients to those of shareholders, placing both groups on the same side to withstand market scrutiny. For share awards, existing outstanding shares (rather than new issuance) will be deployed. The planned trust will acquire already-issued shares from the open market for subsequent vesting, with no new-share issuance involved. Existing shareholders will therefore face no dilution. Deploying stock from existing share pools, instead of newly-issued equity, enables long-term employee motivation while safeguarding existing‑shareholder interests. Both share options and share awards vest in equal annual installments across four years. For chain-catering operators, newly-opened stores typically take multiple fiscal years to ramp up to maturity, and new city markets require extended time for brand recognition to build. The four-year vesting timeline matches this real-world business cycle. Such multi-year incentives prioritize talent retention and long-term value alignment. Share-based incentives integrate management and staff interests into a unified framework, extending interest alignment from shareholders to operators and front-line staff, covering the full chain from strategic decision-making to on-the-ground implementation. 04 Three Developments, One Shared Direction When viewed collectively, the thread running through these three events is unambiguous. On 26August, interim results were published, showing sustained growth in core metrics including revenue, store count and cash flow. Following the results release, core shareholders continued increasing their holdings. On 31August, the Company announced its new share-incentive schemes. The interim results deliver fundamental underpinnings; shareholder stake-increasing sends confidence signals from the investor side; incentive programmes align interests at the operational level. Unfolding sequentially along the timeline, these three developments form a complete chain spanning operational data, market signals and institutional arrangements. As subsidies fade, industry competition will revert to fundamentals of operational efficiency and innovation. For DPC Dash, scale effects across its store network are accumulating, operating cash flow keeps improving, and interest-alignment mechanisms linking core shareholders and key teams are maturing. Combined, these factors demonstrate that the Company is building a more robust interest framework for its next growth cycle. Markets’ short-term “voting machine” fixates on same-store performance and profit margins, yet the long-term “weighing machine” rewards market share and competitive moats. Stake-building and employee incentives represent advance validation of that long-term assessment. 15/09/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 11/09/2026 / 14:26 UTC+8 Macao, September 11, 2026 — MPay, Macao’s leading e-wallet, will adopt Ant International’s Agentic Mobile Protocol (AMP) as one of the protocol’s first e-wallet partners. This follows Ant International’s recent announcements regarding the global rollout of AMP at the 2026 Inclusion Conference on the Bund. The AMP integration will enable MPay to further connect AI agents with its existing mobile payment capabilities. Once authorized by users, eligible AI agents will be able to invoke MPay to complete payments, making AI not just a recommendations provider but a transaction assistant. The partnership also makes MPay an early mover in bringing AI payment capabilities to Macao’s consumer sector and heralds MPay’s evolution into a one-stop digital lifestyle super app enabling a smarter, more open, and more global future. From “find it for me” to “buy it for me”: AI agents reshape the consumer payment journey The dawn of everyday AI tools has sparked a shift in consumer purchase behavior and habits. Whereas the previous user journey consisted of research, comparison, decision-making, and then purchase by switching to a payment tool to pay, the future AI-powered user journey weaves agents into every step as they assist with search, price comparison, recommendations, decision-making, and purchase based on user needs. Ant International designed AMP for mobile payment platforms worldwide, including e-wallets, super apps, and digital banks, to ensure that consumers around the world can shop and pay conveniently, securely, and with confidence using AI agents while addressing key challenges in global agentic commerce, including cross-market connectivity and interoperability for merchants. YOYO, an AI agent for cross-border travel and consumer services, serves as an illustrative example. A user may simply instruct the agent, “I'm attending the 2026 Inclusion Conference on the Bund in Shanghai. Please find me a nearby hotel for one night from Sep 9.” YOYO then automatically searches for hotels, compares options, and provides recommendations based on the user’s destination, dates, and requirements. Once the user confirms the type of room and provides authorization, YOYO invokes MPay on the user’s mobile device to make the payment, with the user completing the payment verification as prompted. Throughout the process, users never need to hop repeatedly between merchant pages and payment tools, nor do they need to change their existing payment habits. Once the payment completes, users can view their AI order list, real-time order status, and the progress of delegated tasks through MPay in a seamless, clear, and transparent experience. Secure and controllable: AI-driven payments built on explicit user authorization AMP provides a unified framework for agent identity, user authorization, and payment security. For each transaction, users can set the scope of the agent’s authorization, define spending limits, and specify the conditions that must be met. They can also review, update, or revoke their authorization at any time. In addition, the security mechanisms such as the Know-Your-Agent (KYA) framework and AgentSafePay provide AI agent identity verification and fund protection, ensuring that while AI completes tasks on behalf of users, the payment process remains secure, transparent, and controllable. Building an open and intelligent super app model for the global ecosystem In recent years, MPay has actively integrated advanced technologies, third-party applications, and global commerce into its growing one-stop digital lifestyle services app that spans retail, mobility, dining, cross-border services, finance, and local life. MPay currently supports cross-border payments in approximately 60 countries and regions, connecting local life in Macao with consumer services worldwide. In April this year, MPay launched AI Payment Assistant, an AI Skill that enables local merchants and developers to integrate MPay’s payment capabilities, lowering the technical barriers to payment integration and enhancing merchants’ digital efficiency. Through the partnership with Ant International’s AMP, MPay will be able to further extend its AI payment capabilities into the global agentic ecosystem by plugging local merchant services with the broader cross-border travel, global consumer, and intelligent lifestyle services ecosystem. Gavin Zhao, President and Chief Product & Technology Officer of Macau Pass Group, said, “MPay is honored to be among the first digital wallets around the world to support Ant International’s AMP. AI agents are changing how users access services and complete transactions, and payments are a key link in bringing AI into real-world business environments. As an international city of tourism, Macao has a unique advantage in its ability to unite local life, cross-border consumption, and global services. Macau Pass will continue to embrace pioneering technologies and steer the deep integration of AI, payments, and local businesses to bring more innovative services to Macao first, helping Macao’s digital lifestyle, smart city development, and commercial services connect with the broader international ecosystem.” As agentic technologies advance, MPay will continue to introduce more AI agents to tighten the relationship between merchant services and the global consumer industry in an open, intelligent, and secure way. This will allow users to be able to enjoy more convenient and smarter one-stop digital lifestyle services within familiar payments experience and create more opportunities for merchants and partners in Macao to develop their digital, intelligent, and cross-border capabilities. 11/09/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 11/09/2026 / 12:04 UTC+8 SHANGHAI, 11 September 2026 — On the evening of 10 September, Envision Greenwise Holdings Limited ("Envision Greenwise"; HKEX: 01783) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Shanghai Yovole Cloud Computing Co., Ltd. ("Yovole Cloud Computing"), will purchase more than 100 high-performance servers from Shanghai Shunquan Technology Co., Ltd. ("Shanghai Shunquan") for a total consideration of RMB 380 million. Just one month earlier, on 6 August, Envision Greenwise had disclosed that Yovole Cloud Computing would purchase more than 400 high-performance servers from Shanghai Shunquan for a total consideration of RMB 1.2884 billion. Placing another order after an interval of only one month not only underscores the strong customer demand flowing to Yovole Cloud Computing, but also validates the efficient execution of its "order-driven procurement" (sales-to-procurement) model — a clear signal that Yovole Cloud Computing's computing capacity is now scaling at an accelerated pace. This latest announcement disclosing the additional purchase of more than 100 high-performance servers also reveals two highly critical pieces of information. First, on the hardware side. The servers procured this time by Yovole Cloud Computing come with the following specifications: 8 processing units, approximately 17,000 CUDA cores, and 141 GB of memory. This configuration effectively pins down the GPU model — one of the most sought-after high-end chips in today's AI computing market. Thanks to the bulk order volume and the qualifications of the counterparty, the actual transaction price came in below the publicly quoted market level, broadly in line with the unit price paid in August when more than 400 units were purchased. In other words, within less than two months, Yovole Cloud Computing has locked in two batches totalling more than 500 high-performance server units of computing assets at below-market pricing. Second, on the capacity and revenue side. Envision Greenwise disclosed directly in the announcement that the company's AI computing business is currently providing 1.5 MW of computing power to customers, with an additional 7.0 MW already contracted. The company expects that, on the premise that it is able to procure the relevant computing hardware and to enter into contracts with suitable customers, the computing capacity it can provide in the short term will increase to 16.0 MW. This indicates that Envision Greenwise's AI computing business will continue to advance on a "lock in contracts first, then match hardware" basis: server procurement is initiated only after binding customer commitments have been obtained, with orders driving capacity expansion so as to minimise inventory risk and delivery mismatches. The 1.5 MW already in operation today is the clearest evidence that this model is working as intended. The fact that short-term available capacity can grow to 16.0 MW implies the company is about to sign new contracts covering at least 7.5 MW of incremental capacity — and the 16 MW figure has already sketched out a deterministic return profile for the capital markets. ________________________________________ Revenue Outlook Industry insiders forecast that, based on the GPU model of the high-performance servers purchased by Yovole Cloud Computing and the ultra-high rack-up rate generated by the company's "order-driven procurement" model, a 16 MW short-term computing capacity could generate nearly RMB 1 billion of AI computing revenue for Envision Greenwise in the second half of FY2027 (the six-month period from 30 September to 31 March). RMB 1 billion of revenue in a single half-year already equals roughly 40% of Envision Greenwise's total revenue of HKD 2.462 billion reported for FY2026 (the 12 months ending 31 March). And these short-term 16 MW alone are expected to deliver at least approximately RMB 2 billion of revenue in FY2028. If the company's available computing capacity continues to expand thereafter, AI computing is expected to vault into Envision Greenwise's largest business segment next year, becoming the core engine driving the company's high-speed growth. 11/09/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 10/09/2026 / 10:28 UTC+8 Hong Kong - How to keep distributed press releases from sinking without a trace is the ultimate challenge faced by every PR professional. Today, renowned media service provider SeaPRwire (https://seaprwire.com) announced that its smart "AI Newsroom" platform is officially online. By introducing an intelligent analysis engine for reader interest points, the platform has successfully overcome the pain point of information asymmetry between content and audience, helping enterprises achieve penetrating communication and precise delivery of PR content. The core logic of SeaPRwire's smart AI Newsroom lies in "understanding." It is no longer just a one-way content distribution channel but an intelligent hub with two-way perception capabilities. When an enterprise distributes news through the platform, the AI engine performs deep mining on reader interaction data from massive media websites and social platforms in real time. By analyzing click-through rates, dwell time, forwarding preferences, and comment sentiments, the AI can precisely outline "interest profiles" of audiences across different regions and circles. Based on these dynamically updated interest profiles, SeaPRwire can provide real-time strategic feedback for enterprises. For instance, if the system detects that readers in Southeast Asia respond enthusiastically to the "green environmental protection" element in a certain tech news story, the AI Newsroom will suggest that the enterprise increase exposure of content in that dimension in subsequent communications, and even automatically adjust the focus of the news summary pushed to journalists in that region. This dynamic adjustment ensures that every press release hits the reader's "sweet spot." "In the past, PR felt more like metaphysics; it was hard to know what readers genuinely wanted to see," pointed out the technical director of SeaPRwire. "Now, the AI Newsroom gives us data-driven X-ray vision. We not only help enterprises send their drafts out but also ensure these drafts are seen, understood, and resonated with by the right people. This is a solid step forward for SeaPRwire in the field of smart PR." About SeaPRwire SeaPRwire is Asia’s leading AI-driven earned media management platform, purpose-built to empower PR and communications professionals. Through its flagship Branding-Insight Program, the platform connects clients to over 80,000 journalists and an influencer matrix reaching 300 million followers. Leveraging advanced AI, SeaPRwire helps users identify media targets, personalize pitches, and measure PR impact across key APAC markets, including Japan, China, Korea, and Southeast Asia.

Solidcore Resources plc Proposed capital return of up to US$ 1,200 million to shareholders by way of on-market tender offer Solidcore Resources plc (“Solidcore” or the “Company”) announces the proposal to return up to US$ 1,200 million to shareholders by way of an on-market tender offer (the “Tender Offer”), pursuant to which Eligible Shareholders are invited to tender some or all of their Company’s shares at a price of US$ 11.66 per share from 9 September 2026 to 12 October 2026. “The progress we have made over the past year has fundamentally strengthened the Company. We have secured funding for our investment programme, reinforced our balance sheet, continued to progress the Company’s projects and resolved long-standing structural issues affecting our share capital. Against this backdrop, and after considering the Company's capital requirements, investment opportunities and financial position, the Board believes that one-off cash return to shareholders through share repurchase represents a strongly compelling risk-adjusted use of the capital available to the Company today. By providing liquidity to shareholders who wish to exit in an otherwise illiquid market, while repurchasing shares at an attractive valuation, the Company believes the transaction benefits all shareholders. Importantly, our largest shareholder, Maaden, and our CEO have each irrevocably committed not to tender their shares.”, – said Evgueni Konovalenko, Senior Independent Non-Executive Director, for and on behalf of the Board. KEY TERMS AND CONDITIONS Under the terms of the Tender Offer, the Company may purchase up to 102,915,952 shares or approximately 23.2% of the Company’s current issued share capital, at a price of US$ 11.66 per share, representing a 10% premium to the volume-weighted average price during the 30-day period ending on, and including, the Latest Practicable Date (being 7 September). The Tender Offer will be open from 11 a.m. (Astana time) on 9 September 2026 to 5 p.m. (Astana time) on 12 October 2026. The completion of the Tender Offer will be subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company to be held at 11 a.m. (Astana time) on 30 September 2026. BCC Invest JSC has been appointed as the Nominated Broker operating in conjunction with the Astana International Exchange and AIX CSD. Oman Investment Bank has been appointed as the Financial Adviser to the Company. Eligible Shareholders willing to make an offer to tender their shares (“Tender Submission” as defined in the Circular) must refer to a Trading Member on AIX or AIX Recognised Custodian through which their shares are held. Participation in the Tender Offer is entirely at the discretion of shareholders. Shareholders are not obliged to tender any shares. The Tender Offer is available to Eligible Shareholders being persons recorded in book-entry form as beneficially entitled to the Company’s shares as at the Closing Date and excluding residents in a Restricted Jurisdiction as defined in the Circular. An Eligible Shareholder holding a direct account with the Registrar or whose nominee holds a direct account with the Registrar and willing to participate in the Tender Offer must transfer, or procure the transfer of, the relevant number of shares to its brokerage/custody account with a Trading Member on AIX or AIX Recognised Custodian before fling a Tender Submission. Tender Submissions may be withdrawn prior to the Withdrawal Cut-Off Date which is 5:00 p.m. (Astana time) on 8 October 2026. At that time, Tender Submissions will become irrevocable and the relevant shares will be blocked and may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of pending settlement of the Tender Offer. If the number of shares validly tendered is less than or equal to 102,915,952 shares, the Company will purchase all shares tendered. If more than 102,915,952 shares are tendered, purchases will be scaled back on a pro rata basis. This means that the Company will purchase from each shareholder the same proportion of the shares tendered by that shareholder, such that the aggregate number of shares purchased does not exceed 102,915,952 shares. If any fractions arise from scaling back, the number of shares accepted will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The Company has received irrevocable undertakings from its major shareholder, Maaden International Investment SPC (“Maaden”), and the Group’s CEO, Vitaly Nesis, not to participate in the Tender Offer. The Company considers this to be a clear signal of their continued long-term strategic commitment and confidence in the Company’s future. The Tender Offer is a one-off return of cash in excess of the Company’s funding requirements and does not establish a capital return policy. Further details of the Tender Offer, including the full terms and conditions and related risks of which shareholders should be aware, are set out in the Circular to shareholders published today. A document with Q&As is also available at: https://www.solidcore-resources.com/en/investors-and-media/news/press-releases/ . BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE In determining to return capital to shareholders, the Board considered the Company's capital requirements, investment opportunities and financial position, together with the following factors: The Company completed the divestiture of its Russian assets in March 2024. The Company has sufficient financial capacity and operational stability allowing it to fund its strategic growth pipeline: Solidcore has demonstrated strong financial and operational results both in 2025 and the first six months of 2026. The cash position as of 1 September 2026 amounted to US$ 1.4 billion and net cash was US$ 747 million. The Company has also secured external financing of US$ 700 million for the Ertis POX project from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, a syndicate of international banks and KfW-IPEX Bank. The total amount of undrawn credit lines as of the date of the announcement stands at US$ 374 million. The Board has carefully considered various options for capital return to shareholders in excess of the Company’s foreseeable future investment needs. It has determined that the Tender Offer would be the most appropriate method of facilitating a shareholder payout in a timely and efficient manner because: The Tender Offer enables the Company to return capital to shareholders through a market-based mechanism at an attractive premium to the volume-weighted average price during the 30-day period ending on, and including, the Latest Practicable Date (being 7 September). The Tender Offer provides shareholders with flexibility and choice: Eligible Shareholders seeking liquidity may realise part or all of their investment at a premium to the volume-weighted average price during the 30-day period ending on, and including, the Latest Practicable Date (being 7 September), which is particularly relevant given the current relatively constrained trading liquidity in the Company's shares; and Shareholders who choose not to participate may retain their full investment and exposure to the Company’s future growth and development. The Tender Offer is available to all Eligible Shareholders. The Tender Offer will reduce the number of shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) thereby increasing the proportional ownership of non-participating shareholders and therefore concentrating earnings and value metrics on a per-share basis, all else being equal. Maaden’s and the CEO’s respective undertakings not to participate in the capital distribution are a clear signal of their continued long-term strategic commitment and confidence in the Company’s future, and an important factor in supporting stakeholder-related interests, which is relevant in the context of the Company’s operating environment. The Board considers the Tender Offer to be consistent with its established capital allocation framework. All organic investment opportunities and strategic initiatives identified by the Board that meet Solidcore’s return criteria continue to be fully funded. Therefore, the Board believes the Tender Offer represents a disciplined allocation of capital which does not affect the Company’s strategic priorities or its ability to invest in growth opportunities. The Board remains confident in the long-term prospects of the Company and in its ability to continue generating healthy cash flows.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 08/09/2026 / 15:47 MSK Solidcore Resources plc (“Solidcore” or the “Company”) announces financial results for the six months ended 31 June 2026. “In H1, sales were held back due to temporary metal shipment delays from Amursk POX on the back of new custom regulations. However, we achieved good results thanks to higher gold prices and third-party processing recovery which helped offset cost pressure from the higher mineral extraction tax, domestic inflation and a stronger tenge. Our current financial position underpinned the board’s decision on capital return to shareholders inthe form of a one-off on-market tender offer which represents an efficient and equitable method to return capital to our shareholders”, said Vitaly Nesis, CEO of Solidcore Resources plc, commenting on the results. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS In H1 2026, revenue totalled US$ 972 million (H1 2025: US$ 325 million) supported by third-party concentrate processing and respective sales recovery as well as higher gold prices. Performance in H1 2026 was weighted towards the first quarter: Q2 revenue was US$ 369 million (Q1 2026: US$ 603 million) and gold equivalent sales were 82 Koz (Q1 2026: 123 Koz), as doré shipments from Amursk POX were suspended from late May until early July following changes to Russian gold export regulations. Cash costs were within full-year guidance: US$ 1,435/GE oz for total cash costs (TCC)[1], mostly unchanged year-on-year (“y-o-y”), and US$ 1,912/GE oz for all-in sustaining cash costs (AISC)1, 13% lower y-o-y. As expected, in absolute terms cash operating costs increased by 38% y-o-y to US$ 353 million mostly on the back of the higher Mineral Extraction Tax rate, domestic inflation, KZT appreciation and headcount growth. Following the dynamics in revenue and costs, adjusted EBITDA1 totalled US$ 641 million (H1 2025: US$ 152 million), with the margin of 66% (H1 2025: 47%). The Company reiterates its full-year 2026 guidance: production of c. 540 GE Koz, TCC and AISC within the ranges of US$ 1,350-1,550/GE oz and US$ 1,850-2,050/GE oz, respectively. The management notes a further build-up of metal inventories at the Amursk POX in H1 resulting from changes to the Russian gold export regulation and consequent metal shipment delays. The shipments normalised starting from July. However, Kyzyl concentrate will continue to depend on third-party processing until Ertis POX is fully commissioned. The Company will keep the market informed in case of any further impact of the occurred inventory accumulation on its guidance. Underlying net earnings1 and net earnings[2] in H1 2026 were US$ 465 million and US$ 453 million respectively (H1 2025: US$ 101 million and US$ 85 million, respectively). Capital expenditure (CAPEX) increased by 51% y-o-y to US$ 193 million[3] mainly due to the Ertis POX construction where half-yearly CAPEX totalled US$ 153 million. The Company reiterates its full-year CAPEX guidance of US$ 510 million including US$ 315 million for Ertis POX as most of the expenditures are expected to be incurred in H2. The guidance does not include any construction expenditures on Syrymbet which is yet to be approved in Q4. Net operating cash flow was US$ 436 million (H1 2025: net outflow of US$ 86 million) reflecting higher adjusted EBITDA and better working capital dynamics. The Company generated positive free cash flow1 of US$ 243 million (H1 2025: negative US$ 220 million). Given the second-half weighting of capital expenditure, free cash flow in H2 2026 may be lower than in H1. As a result, cash position stood at US$ 878 million and net cash grew to US$ 653 million as at 30 June 2026 (US$ 464 million as at 2025 year-end). As at 31 August 2026, cash balance reached US$ 1.4 billion, while net cash totalled US$ 747 million. The Company’s growth project development update: Ertis POX construction is progressing in line with the schedule. In July 2026, the Company signed a US$ 600 million project financing package, comprising a US$ 300 million loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and a US$ 300 million syndicated facility arranged by ING, Société Générale and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank. In addition, in September 2026, the Company secured a US$ 100 million loan from KfW IPEX-Bank to finance Ertis POX construction. The Board’s investment decision on Syrymbet construction is now expected in Q4 2026 (previously September 2026), following finalisation of the feasibility study. Having considered the Company’s performance, financial and liquidity position, investment needs and capital allocation priorities, the Board has resolved to return US$ 1.2 billion of cash to shareholders in a form of the on-market tender offer at a price of US$ 11.66 per share. The Tender Offer will be open from 11 a.m. (Astana time) on 9 September 2026 to 5 p.m. (Astana time, GMT+5) on 12 October 2026. The completion of the Tender Offer will be subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting of the Company to be held at 11 a.m. (Astana Time) on 30 September 2026 at Sheraton Hotel, Baiterek room, 60/1 Syganak Street, Astana, Kazakhstan. The Tender Offer is a one-off return of cash in excess of the Company’s funding requirements and does not establish a capital return policy. For more details on the Tender Offer please see a separate announcement and the Circular which will be published on the Company’s website shortly: https://www.solidcore-resources.com/en/investors-and-media/shareholder-centre/general-meetings/. Following completion of the Tender Offer, the Company expects to remain in a sound financial position: leverage is projected to remain below 0.3x Net Debt/Adjusted EBITDA assuming the entire Tender Offer amount is repurchased, the Company will maintain sufficient liquidity, including US$ 374 million of undrawn credit lines, which, together with the operating cash flow, is expected to provide adequate capacity to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Tender Offer is not expected to impact 2026 guidance.

One lost-time injury was recorded in April, the employee received the necessary medical treatment, and there is no threat to their life or long-term health. H1 gold equivalent (GE) output increased by 71% y-o-y to 210 Koz, driven by third-party concentrate processing recovery. Mine level metal output was 3% lower y-o-y at 267 GE Koz, reflecting a planned decline in the Kyzyl head grade. In H1 2026, the Company continued to advance both the Ertis POX and Syrymbet projects. The Ertis POX project development is progressing in line with the schedule. The project design documentation has received a positive state construction expertise approval, and the construction-phase environmental permit has been issued. The Board’s investment decision on Syrymbet construction is now expected in Q4 2026 (previously September 2026).

TABLE OF CONTENTS Financial review Principal risks and uncertainties Going concern Directors’ responsibility statement Report on review of interim condensed consolidated financial statements Interim condensed consolidated financial statements Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements Alternative performance measures FINANCIAL REVIEW market summary Gold price and demand momentum In H1 2026, the gold price reached new records before entering a correction phase: sustained investment momentum and heightened geopolitical tensions drove the price to an all-time high of US$ 5,405/oz in late January 2026, after which softer Western investor flows and profit-taking brought the price down to US$ 4,026/oz as of 30 June 2026 – a 7% decline since the beginning of the year, but still 22% higher y-o-y. The average LBMA gold price for H1 2026 was US$ 4,693/oz – an increase of 53% y-o-y. Demand for gold (excluding OTC) for H1 2026 decreased by 19% y-o-y to 1,951 tonnes, though total demand including OTC edged up 2% to 2,522 tonnes, worth a record US$ 380 billion. The decline largely reflects the normalisation of ETF flows. Net inflows into gold-backed ETFs amounted to 18 tonnes (H1 2025: 402 tonnes), with Q2 2026 seeing net outflows on the weaker gold price, revised US inflation and interest rate expectations and a stronger US dollar. In contrast, bar and coin investment rose by 21% y-o-y to 784 tonnes as retail investors bought into the correction. Global jewellery consumption in H1 fell by 21% y-o-y to 572 tonnes, falling to post-pandemic lows, as record price levels continued to weigh on consumer confidence and affordability in the biggest markets such as China and India. The increase in India’s gold import duty from 6% to 15% put further pressure on local demand. Central bank purchases for H1 2026 slowed by 17% y-o-y to 345 tonnes. However, after a muted Q1, buying recovered sharply in Q2 to 289 tonnes (+62% y-o-y). The National Bank of Kazakhstan remained among the most notable buyers, adding 27 tonnes of gold in H1 2026 to reach total reserves of over 360 tonnes. Gold demand in the technology sector remained resilient at 162 tonnes, up 2% y-o-y, as AI-related demand offset weakness in consumer electronics. Total H1 2026 gold supply increased by 2% y-o-y to 2,522 tonnes, with mine production reaching a record first-half level of 1,867 tonnes. Foreign exchange The Company’s revenues are denominated in the US dollars, while the majority of the Company’s operating costs are denominated in the local currency, the Kazakhstani tenge (KZT). As a result, changes in exchange rates have an impact on the Company’s financial results and performance. In H1 2026, the Kazakhstani tenge appreciated against the US dollar, averaging 486 KZT/US$, 5% stronger y-o-y (H1 2025: 512 KZT/US$), and stood at 486 KZT/US$ at the end of the period (H1 2025: 520 KZT/US$). The tenge was supported by tight monetary policy and foreign currency sales by the National Bank and the quasi-public sector. Annualised inflation moderated to 10.3% by June 2026 (June 2025: 11.8%), allowing the National Bank to cut the base rate from 18.0% to 17.0% in June 2026.

Mining tax expenses increase by 122% y-o-y to US$ 142 million on the back of introduction of a progressive mining extraction tax (MET) in Kazakhstan effective January 2026 (rate in H1 2026 stood at 11% vs 7.5% in H1 2025) and higher gold prices. Elevated inflation in Kazakhstan at 10.3% and an average KZT appreciation of 5% y-o-y. The cost of services was up by 9% y-o-y driven by inflation and KZT appreciation negatively affecting KZT-denominated costs. Cost of consumables and spare parts was maintained relatively unchanged y-o-y. The cost of labour within cash operating costs increased by 38% y-o-y, driven by higher headcount and inflation-linked increases in tenge-denominated salaries, further amplified by the appreciation of the KZT. The 10% y-o-y increase in purchases of third-party ore was driven by higher gold prices.

TOTAL Cash costs[14] In H1 2026, total cash costs per GE ounce sold (TCC) were US$ 1,435/1GE oz, largely stable y-o-y and within the guidance range of US$ 1,350-1,550. Kyzyl sales recovery after disruptions in H1 2025 offset the negative effect from the MET expenses increase, a price-driven increase in the cost of purchased ore, inflation and currency appreciation. For the full year, TCC are expected to stay within the guidance range as well. The table below summarises major factors that have affected the Company’s TCC and AISC y-o-y dynamics: RECONCILIATION OF TCC AND AISC MOVEMENTS TCC, US$/GE oz Change AISC, US$/GE oz Change Cost per GE ounce H1 2025 1,458 2,201 Change in Kyzyl volume of sales (409) -28% (521) -24% Mining tax change 241 +17% 241 +11% Domestic inflation 104 +7% 121 +5% KZT rate change 42 +3% 73 +3% Change in price of purchased ore 25 +2% 25 +1% Sustaining CAPEX change - - (254) -12% Other (27) -2% 27 +1% Cost per GE ounce H1 2026 1,435 -2% 1,912 -13% Total cash cost by segment/operation Cash cost per GE oz, US$/GE oz Gold equivalent sold, Koz OPERATION H1 2026 H1 2025 Change H1 2026 H1 2025 Change Kyzyl 1,076 1,179 -9% 121 24 +404% Varvara 1,954 1,543 +27% 84 80 +5% Total TCC 1,435 1,458 -2% 205 104 +97% Kyzyl’s TCC were at US$ 1,076/GE oz, down 9% y-o-y due to the sales rebound after delays in 2025. Varvara’s TCC increased by 27% y-o-y to US$ 1,954/GE oz, on the back of higher cost of sales and SGA expenses. ALL-IN SUSTAINING AND all-in cash costs[15] All-in sustaining cash costs (AISС) were down by 13% y-o-y to US$ 1,912/GE oz on the back of the same factors affecting TCC dynamics while sustaining CAPEX per oz decreased as relatively stable absolute amount was spread over a larger number of ounces. For the full year, AISC are expected to stay within the guidance range of US$ 1,850-2,050/GE oz.

Corporate and other costs increased by 59% due to higher SGA and other operating expenses (see costs analysis above). Other income statement items In H1 2026, Solidcore recorded a net foreign exchange loss of US$ 15 million (H1 2025: US$ 8 million) attributable to the revaluation of non-USD denominated loans, current accounts and deposits. The Company does not use any hedging instruments for managing foreign exchange risk, other than a natural hedge arising from the fact that most of the Company’s revenue is denominated or calculated in the US dollars. Net interest income amounted to US$ 36 million (H1 2025: US$ 10 million) driven by higher cash balance and interest rate on invested cash. Income tax expense for H1 2026 grew to US$ 159 million (H1 2025: US$ 33 million) on the back of net earnings increase. Net earnings, earnings per share and dividends The Company recorded net profit of US$ 453 million in H1 2026 versus US$ 85 million in H1 2025. The underlying net earnings attributable to the shareholders of the parent were US$ 465 million, compared to US$ 101 million in H1 2025. The results were mostly driven by positive EBITDA dynamics.

The major capital expenditure items in H1 2026 were as follows: Development projects Capital expenditure of US$ 153 million was related to construction of the Ertis POX facility. Corporate and other expenditure mainly included investments in the gas pistol plant project at Varvara and geological fire-assay laboratory in Karaganda. Stay-in-business sustaining CAPEX at operating assets At Kyzyl, sustaining capital expenditure comprised US$ 9 million, mainly represented by scheduled technical and mining fleet upgrades. At Varvara, capital expenditure of US$ 13 million was mainly related to the mining fleet renewal at Varvara and Komar. Capital stripping was down to US$ 6 million (H1 2025: US$ 16 million) mainly due to the planned depletion of the Kyzyl open pit.

With US$ 193 million allocated to CAPEX, free cash flow (FCF)[22] for the reporting period totalled US$ 243 million and was distributed to the following activities: Loans advanced of US$ 41 million including a US$ 9 million loan to Syrymbet JV and US$ 30 million to Bai Tau Minerals (Besshoky project). Placement of US$ 34 million of cash into a short-term (6 months) deposit which was made to enhance returns amid declining deposit rates.

The Company also had US$ 124 million of available undrawn facilities. Following the end of the reporting period, the Company also secured US$ 700 million of loans for the Ertis POX construction. The weighted-average effective cost of debt in H1 2026 increased to 5.5% (H1 2025: 5.3%). 85% of available cash balance is denominated in hard currency. The Company is confident in its ability to repay its existing borrowings as they fall due. INVENTORY Inventory levels increased by US$ 108 million to US$ 447 million at the end of H1 2026.

Shipments to Kazakhstan successfully resumed in July. 2026 YEAR-END outlook The Company reiterates its full-year guidance: production of 540 GE Koz, TCC and AISC in the ranges of US$ 1,350-1,550/GE oz and US$ 1,850-2,050/GE oz respectively, and CAPEX of US$ 510 million. The estimate remains contingent on the KZT/US$ exchange rate, which has a significant effect on the Company’s local currency denominated operating costs, and the gold price. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES There are several potential risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the Company’s performance and could cause actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company are categorised as follows: Operational risks: Production risk Construction and development risk Supply chain risk Exploration risk Sustainability risks: Health and safety risk Environmental risk Human capital risk Political and social risks: Legal and compliance risk Political risk Taxation risk Financial risks: Market risk Currency risk Liquidity risk A detailed explanation of these risks and uncertainties can be found on pages 92 to 101 of the 2025 annual report which is available at https://www.solidcore-resources.com/en/. The Board has acknowledged the accumulation of metal inventories at Amursk POX in H1, resulting from changes to Russian gold export regulations and consequent metal shipment delays, and has evaluated its impact on the Group's financial and liquidity position. It was further noted that the Group assumes it has successfully mitigated shipment issues starting from July, ensuring that net cash flows generated remain accessible within the Group; however, there can be no assurance that similar disruptions will not occur in the future. The Board also noted that the Group remains focused on advancing the full-scale construction of the Ertis POX facility, which is expected to eliminate reliance on third-party concentrate offtake over the medium term. In addition, subject to market conditions and logistical stability, the Group expects a substantial portion of accumulated concentrate inventories to be released during 2026, supporting strong cash flow generation. The directors note that the principal risks, aside from this matter, and uncertainties are largely unchanged from those set out in the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025 and continue to apply to the Company for the remaining six months of the 2026 financial year. Further updates will be presented in the full annual financial report for 2026. GOING CONCERN In assessing its going concern status, the Group has taken account of its financial position, anticipated future trading performance, its borrowings and other available credit facilities, its forecast compliance with covenants on those borrowings and capital expenditure commitments and plans. The Directors have considered the impact of the proposed capital allocation on the Group's liquidity, financial position, forecast cash flows and covenant headroom as part of their going-concern assessment. Based on this assessment, including consideration of reasonably possible downside scenarios, the Directors the Board is satisfied that the Group’s forecasts and projections, having taken account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT Directors are responsible for the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Solidcore Resources plc (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2026, and the interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended 30 June 2026, in accordance with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. In preparing the interim condensed consolidated financial statements, directors are responsible for: properly selecting and applying accounting policies; presenting information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information; providing additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the Group’s consolidated financial position and financial performance; and making an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Directors also are responsible for: designing, implementing and maintaining an effective and sound system of internal controls throughout the Group; maintaining adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Group’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the consolidated financial position of the Group, and which enable them to ensure that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group comply with IAS 34; taking such steps as are reasonably available to them to safeguard the assets of the Group; and preventing and detecting fraud and other irregularities.

Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. Scope of review We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information of Solidcore Resources plc and its subsidiaries is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.

The registered office is 1306 Office, 13th Floor, 10 Dinmukhamed Qonayev Street, Esil District, Astana, 010000, Kazakhstan. The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”). The Group’s principal activities are gold mining and related processing in Kazakhstan. Solidcore Resources plc (the Company) is the ultimate parent entity of the Solidcore Resources Group. Significant subsidiaries As of 30 June 2026, the Company held the following significant mining and production subsidiaries: Effective interest held, % Name of subsidiary Deposits and production facilities Segment Country of incorporation 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 Varvarinskoye LLC Varvara Varvara Kazakhstan 100 100 Bakyrchik Mining Venture LLC Kyzyl Kyzyl Kazakhstan 100 100 Komarovskoye Mining Company LLC Komar Varvara Kazakhstan 100 100 Ertis Hydrometallurgical Plant LLC Ertis POX Corporate and other Kazakhstan 100 100 The Company also holds a 55% interest in the joint venture Tin One ("Syrymbet"). Although the Group holds a 55% ownership interest in Tin One, the relevant activities of Tin One require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control under the contractual arrangements. Accordingly, the Group has joint control over Tin One and accounts for the investment as a joint venture using the equity method.Basis of presentation The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. They should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the 2025 Annual Report of Solidcore Resources plc and its subsidiaries (“2025 Annual Report”) available at https://www.solidcore-resources.com. Accounting policies These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain financial instruments measured at fair value. The accounting policies and methods of computation applied are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, with the exception of new accounting pronouncements, which became effective on 1 January 2026 and have been adopted by the Group. The adoption of these new accounting pronouncements has not had a significant impact on the accounting policies, methods of computation or presentation applied by the Group. New accounting standards and amendments The following amendments became effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 and have been adopted by the Group: Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures); Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11; and Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). The adoption of these amendments has not had a significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies, methods of computation or the presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Going concern In assessing its going concern status, the Group has taken account of its financial position, anticipated future trading performance, its borrowings and other available credit facilities, its forecast compliance with covenants on those borrowings and capital expenditure commitments and plans. The Board is satisfied that the Group’s forecasts and projections, having taken account of reasonably possible changes in trading performance, show that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least the next 12 months from the date of this report and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Functional and presentation currency The functional currency for each entity in the Group is determined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates. The functional currency of the Group’s principal operating subsidiaries in Kazakhstan is the Kazakhstani tenge (KZT). The functional currency of the Company is Kazakhstani tenge, determined based on the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The Group has chosen to present its consolidated financial statements in millions of US Dollars (US$m), as management believes it is the most useful presentation currency for international users of the consolidated financial statements of the Group as being common presentation currency in the mining industry. Exchange rates Exchange rates used in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows (based on information provided by National Bank of Kazakhstan): Kazakh Tenge/US Dollar As at 30 June 2026 485.82 As at 31 December 2025 502.57 Average 1H 2026 486.34 Average 1H 2025 512.08 SEGMENT INFORMATION The Group’s operating segments are aligned to those production hubs that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (the CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Therefore, the Group has identified two reportable segments: Varvara (Varvarinskoye LLC, Komarovskoye Mining Company LLC); and Kyzyl (Bakyrchik Mining Venture LLP). Ertis POX, as well as minor companies and activities (management, exploration and other companies) which do not meet the reportable segment criteria are disclosed within the corporate and other segment. The measure which management and the CODM use to evaluate the performance of the Group is a segment Adjusted EBITDA, which is an Alternative Performance Measure (APM). For more information on the APMs used by the Group, including definitions, please refer to page 41. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are consistent with those of the Group’s accounting policies under IFRS. Revenue and cost of sales of the production entities are reported net of any intersegmental revenue and cost of sales, related to the intercompany sales of ore and concentrates. Business segment current assets and liabilities, other than current inventory, are not reviewed by the CODM and therefore are not disclosed in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The segment adjusted EBITDA reconciles to the profit before income tax from continuing operations as follows: Period ended 30 June 2026 Period ended 30 June 2025 Varvara Kyzyl Total reportable segments Corporate and other Total Varvara Kyzyl Total reportable segments Corporate and other Total Revenue from external customers 393 579 972 - 972 251 74 325 - 325 Doré 331 234 565 - 565 186 7 193 - 193 Concentrate 62 - 62 - 62 65 67 132 - 132 Bullions - 345 345 - 345 - - - - - Cost of sales, excluding depreciation, depletion and write-down of inventory to net realisable value 153 121 274 - 274 114 17 131 - 131 Cost of sales 171 146 317 - 317 134 21 155 - 155 On-mine costs 43 52 95 - 95 31 59 90 - 90 Smelting costs 28 35 63 - 63 25 29 54 - 54 Purchase of ore from third parties 53 - 53 - 53 48 48 - 48 Mining tax 40 102 142 - 142 13 51 64 - 64 Change in metal inventories less depreciation (11) (68) (79) - (79) (3) (122) (125) - (125) Depreciation included in cost of sales (18) (25) (43) - (43) (20) (4) (24) - (24) General, administrative and selling expenses, excluding depreciation, amortisation and share based compensation 10 7 17 31 48 8 9 17 16 33 General, administrative and selling expenses 10 8 18 32 50 8 10 18 16 34 Depreciation included in SGA - (1) (1) (1) (2) - (1) (1) - (1) Other operating expenses excluding additional tax charges 5 8 13 (4) 9 4 4 8 1 9 Adjusted EBITDA 225 443 668 (27) 641 125 44 169 (17) 152 Depreciation expense 18 26 44 1 45 20 5 25 - 25 Operating profit 207 417 624 (28) 596 105 39 144 (17) 127 Foreign exchange loss, net (15) (8) Impairment losses on financial assets (5) - Change in fair value of deferred consideration liability - (11) Finance expenses (8) (8) Finance income 44 18 Profit before tax 612 118 Income tax expense (159) (33) Profit for the financial period 453 85 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 Current metal inventories 54 300 354 - 354 35 214 249 - 249 Current non-metal inventories 15 33 48 4 52 13 28 41 5 46 Non-current segment assets: - - Property, plant and equipment, net 330 450 780 474 1,254 292 438 730 304 1,034 Non-current inventory 34 7 41 - 41 37 7 44 - 44 Investments in associates and joint ventures - - - 93 93 - - - 82 82 Total segment assets 433 790 1,223 571 1,794 377 687 1,064 391 1,455 Additions to non-current assets: Property, plant and equipment 51 11 62 164 226 46 11 57 75 132 REVENUE Six months ended 30 June 2026 30 June 2025 US$m US$m Gold 966 322 Other metals 6 7 Revenue before treatment charges 972 329 Less: treatment charges - (4) Total 972 325 Revenue growth was driven by third-party concentrate processing and respective sales recovery as well as higher gold prices.

The Group continues to monitor the impact of this legislation. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND EARNINGS PER SHARE There were no movements in the Company’s share capital and share premium during period ended 30 June 2026. As of 30 June 2026, total number of voting rights in the Company amounted to 443,146,134 ordinary shares of nominal value US$ 0.03 each (31 December 2025: 443,146,134 ordinary shares), each carrying one vote, and additionally the Company held 123,408,853 shares in treasury as indicated in AIX register and such shares did not enjoy any voting or economic rights (31 December 2025: 123,408,853 shares). The ordinary shares reflect 100% of the total issued share capital of the Company. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following data: Weighted average number of shares: Diluted earnings per share Both basic and diluted earnings per share were calculated by dividing profit for the period attributable to equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares before/after dilution respectively. The calculation of the weighted average number of outstanding common shares after dilution is as follows: Six months ended 30 June 2026 30 June 2025 Profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Parent (US$m) 453 85 Weighted average number of outstanding common shares 443,146,134 473,690,320 Weighted average number of outstanding common shares after dilution 443,146,134 473,690,320 Basic earnings per share (US$) 1.02 0.18 Diluted earnings per share (US$) 1.02 0.18 There were no adjustments required to earnings for the purposes of calculating the diluted earnings per share in the current period (period ended 30 June 2025: nil). There were no adjustments to weighted average number of shares for the purposes of calculating the diluted earnings per share in the current period (period ended 30 June 2025: none), as there are no outstanding Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) awards as of the reporting date (30 June 2025: no dilutive potential ordinary shares). The remaining LTIP tranche, granted in 2021 lapsed during first half 2025 and, accordingly, the related balance of US$ 4 million in the share-based payment reserve was transferred into retained earnings.

Receivables from provisional copper, gold and silver concentrate sales decreased to US$11 million as of 30 June 2026 (31 December 2025: US$ 61 million), primarily due to lower concentrate sales during the second quarter of 2026, for which revenue is expected to be received in the third quarter 2026.

Effective interest rate at 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 Type of rate 30 June 2026 31 Dec 2025 Current Non-current Total Current Non-current Total US$m US$m US$m US$m US$m US$m Secured loans from third parties U.S. Dollar denominated fixed 4.58% 4.58% 41 10 51 42 31 73 Total secured loans from third parties 41 10 51 42 31 73 Unsecured loans from third parties U.S. Dollar denominated floating 5.93% 6.31% 32 132 164 60 121 181 Euro denominated floating 2.60% 2.53% 2 8 10 3 10 13 Total unsecured loans from third parties 34 140 174 63 131 194 Total loans from third parties 75 150 225 105 162 267 The Group’s non-current borrowings include borrowings amounting to US$ 150 million that contain covenants, which, if not met, would result in the borrowings becoming repayable on demand. These borrowings are otherwise repayable more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. As at 30 June 2026, the Group has complied with all the covenants that were required to be met on or before 30 June 2026. The covenants that are required to be complied with after the end of the current reporting period do not affect the classification of the related borrowings as current or non-current at the end of the current reporting period. Therefore, all these borrowings remain classified as non-current liabilities. Movements in borrowings are presented in Note 22 below. The table below summarises maturities of borrowings: 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 US$m US$m Less than 1 year 75 105 1-5 years 116 148 More than 5 years 34 14 Total 225 267 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Capital commitments The Group’s budgeted capital expenditure commitments as at 30 June 2026 amounted to US$ 411 million net of VAT (31 December 2025: US$ 158 million). The increase in capital commitments is due to the acceleration of construction works at Ertis POX, in accordance with the schedule. Social commitments In accordance with various memoranda with regional Akimats (local Kazakhstan government bodies), the Group participates in financing of certain social and infrastructure development project of the region. The total social expense commitment as at 30 June 2026 amounts to US$ 6 million, payable in the future periods. Taxation Kazakhstan tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations, and changes, which can occur frequently. Management’s interpretation of such legislation as applied to the transactions and activities of the companies of the Group may be challenged by the relevant regional and federal authorities and as a result, significant additional taxes, penalties and interest may be assessed. Fiscal periods remain open to review by the authorities in respect of taxes for five calendar years preceding the year of review. Under certain circumstances reviews may cover longer periods. Management has not identified any tax exposures in respect of contingent liabilities as of 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value is observable as follows: Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). At 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025, the Group held the following financial instruments at fair value. During both reporting periods presented, there were no transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy. 30 June 2026 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total US$m US$m US$m US$m Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Receivables from provisional copper, gold and silver concentrate sales - 11 - 11 Cash balances held in money market funds 201 - - 201 Interest rate swap - 1 - 1 Receivables from conditional share exchange - - 11 11 Financial instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) Equity investments designated at FVTOCI - - 19 19 201 12 30 243 31 December 2025 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total US$m US$m US$m US$m Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) Receivables from provisional copper, gold and silver concentrate sales - 61 - 61 Cash balances held in money market funds 164 - - 164 Interest rate swap - 2 - 2 Financial instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) Equity investments designated at FVTOCI - - 26 26 164 63 26 253 Receivables from conditional share exchange In October 2025, as part of the Final Exchange Offer, the Company entered into a conditional exchange offer buyback agreement to repurchase and exchange 11.1 million shares for AIX-listed ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis where the completion is subject to completion of the restricted share disposal, the cessation (or licensing) of applicable sanctions, and Euroclear receiving the buyback price from the trustee and distributing it to the direct participants. The Group recognised a financial asset of USD 11 million, representing the reimbursement of the buyback price for such shares. The asset is classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The Group classified the receivable as non-current, as the conditions for completion are not expected to be fulfilled during the 12 months after the reporting date. The receivable is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow technique. Key unobservable inputs include the probability of sanctions relief, the expected timing of the Euroclear distribution, and estimated trustee deductions. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the six months ended 30 June 2026. Equity investments designated at FVTOCI In June 2025, the Group completed the acquisition of 10.68% interest in JSC “Ulmus Besshoky” (Besshoky) for total consideration of US$ 15 million. The acquisition was made through several consecutive deals with third parties. Besshoky is an exploration company, holding Besshoky project in Karaganda region, consisting of main exploration contracts and several exploration licenses for the adjacent areas. This investment in equity instruments is not held for trading. Instead, it was acquired for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the Group has elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as recognising short-term movements in the investment’s fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the group’s strategy of holding it for long-term purposes. During the six months ended 30 June 2026 the Group recognised a fair value decrease of US$ 7 million on this investment in other comprehensive income (with a corresponding decrease in the fair value reserve within equity). As at 30 June 2026 the carrying amount of the investment was US$ 19 million (31 December 2025: US$ 26 million). Borrowings The estimated fair value of the Group’s debt, calculated using the market interest rate available to the Group as at 30 June 2026 and 31 December 2025 did not differ from its carrying value. Receivables from provisional copper, gold and silver concentrate sales The fair value of receivables arising from copper, gold and silver concentrate sales contracts that contain provisional pricing mechanisms is determined using the appropriate quoted forward price from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular metal. As such, these receivables are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. RELATED PARTIES Related parties are considered to include shareholders, associates, joint ventures and entities under common ownership and control with the Group and members of key management personnel. The Group had the following outstanding balances with related parties: 30 June 2026 31 December 2025 US$m US$m Loans provided to related parties (Note 16) 12 6 During the six months ended 30 June 2026 the Group advanced additional loans to related parties of US$ 6 million (six months ended 30 June 2025: nil). The loans are unsecured, interest-bearing and repayable in accordance with the contractual terms. There were no other significant transactions with related parties during the six months ended 30 June 2026 or 30 June 2025.

The package comprises: a US$ 300 million 10-year loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD); and a US$ 300 million syndicated facility provided equally by ING (Coordinating Mandated Lead Arranger), Société Générale and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, with an initial tenor of five years (extendable to seven years) and an accordion option of up to an additional US$ 300 million. The facilities have a 36-month grace period, with repayments scheduled to commence in 2029 following the completion of construction. In September 2026, the Group signed a US$100 million seven-year facility with KfW IPEX-Bank to finance the Ertis POX project. In July 2026, subsequent to the reporting date, the Group, through Solidcore Middle East SPC, entered into an earn-in agreement and a shareholders’ agreement with Minerals Development Oman SAOC and Minerals Development Oman First LLC in relation to the Khabiyat copper-gold project in Oman. The project is held through Majan Base Metals LLC. Under the agreements, the Group will acquire an initial 20% interest in Majan Base Metals LLC. Following satisfaction or waiver of specified conditions, the Group will pay US$ 6.9 million to Minerals Development Oman as consideration for the initial 20% interest, of which US$ 6.4 million will be contributed by Minerals Development Oman to Majan Base Metals LLC as part of the US$ 8.0 million Stage 1 exploration funding. The Group will contribute the remaining US$ 1.6 million. As at the date of approval of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, those conditions had not been satisfied, and neither the share consideration nor the Stage 1 contribution had been paid. On completion of Stage 1, the Group is required to pay a further US$ 1.5 million to Minerals Development Oman. Subject to completion of the applicable exploration, funding, share-purchase and other contractual conditions, the Group may elect to increase its interest to 45% (Stage 2) and subsequently to 60% (Stage 3). If the Group exercises these rights, at Stage 2 it will pay a further US$ 11.0 million to Minerals Development Oman First LLC and contribute a further US$ 9.0 million to Majan Base Metals LLC. At Stage 3, the Group will pay an election payment of US$ 1.5 million to Minerals Development Oman First LLC, together with the purchase price for the additional shares, which is also payable to Minerals Development Oman First LLC. The Stage 3 purchase price is formula-based and could not be estimated reliably as at the date these condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved. Specified decisions concerning the activities that significantly affect the returns of Majan Base Metals LLC, including approval of the work programme and budget, material technical studies, licences and the development concept, require the agreement of both shareholders. Following completion of the initial acquisition and effectiveness of the relevant governance provisions, the Group is assessing the date from which it obtained, or will obtain, joint control. From that date, the investment will be classified as a joint venture under IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and accounted for using the equity method. The transaction is a non-adjusting event after the reporting period. Accordingly, no investment in Majan Base Metals LLC has been recognised in the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2026. ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES Introduction The financial performance reported by the Company contains certain Alternative Performance Measures (APMs), disclosed to complement measures that are defined or specified under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). APMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, measures of financial performance, financial position or cash flows reported in accordance with IFRS.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 07/09/2026 / 08:00 UTC+8 Hong Kong, 7 September 2026 - Suki Cheung, CEO of MG Ship, will join industry leaders on the WMX Asia stage for the panel discussion “AI Beyond the Hype: Measurable Results in Logistics Today,” examining how artificial intelligence is moving beyond experimentation to deliver measurable operational and financial results across freight, e-commerce logistics. The discussion, featuring executives from Pos Malaysia, Omniva and OnyX Space, will focus on real-world AI applications that are already generating tangible value for logistics providers and shippers. Industry deployments have demonstrated improvements such as more accurate estimated times of arrival (ETAs), fewer manual interventions, faster exception management, and stronger decision-making across transportation, inventory management and trade financing. Participants will also discuss customer expectations, industry readiness, workforce transformation, and the next wave of AI innovation in supply chains. “Too many AI conversations in logistics remain focused on future possibilities,” said Suki Cheung, CEO of MG Ship. “The reality is that AI is already delivering measurable business outcomes today. Leading organizations are reducing transportation costs, improving forecast accuracy, increasing warehouse productivity, and achieving payback within months rather than years.” Research and industry case studies show that some of the fastest returns on investment are generated in three key areas: - Dynamic route optimisation has helped companies reduce fuel consumption by 15% to 20%, improve delivery speed by 15% to 25%, lower transportation costs by 12% to 22%, and reduce operating costs by 12% to 20%, with many projects achieving payback within 3 to 6 months. - AI-driven demand forecasting has reduced forecast errors by 20% to 40%, improved forecasting accuracy by as much as 35%, and lowered inventory levels by 20% to 30%, typically delivering measurable benefits within 6 to12 months. - Freight documentation automation has reduced manual processing time by up to 85%, significantly improving productivity while achieving return on investment within 3 to 6 months. Across early adopters, AI-enabled supply chain programs are delivering average logistics and operational cost reductions of 10% to 25%, lowering forecast errors by 20% to 40%, and increasing warehouse productivity by 25% to 35% within the 5 year of deployment. Under Cheung’s leadership, MG Ship has developed an AI-powered visibility and intelligence platform used by logistics providers, manufacturers, retailers and global shippers across multiple regions. The platform combines real-time shipment visibility with predictive analytics, trade intelligence and risk monitoring capabilities, enabling organizations to anticipate disruptions, optimize transportation decisions, and strengthen working-capital and trade-finance planning. To further enhance customer ROI, MG Ship is introducing a new AI-powered module focused on route optimisation and carrier recommendations for global retailers and shippers. Key capabilities include: Dynamic route optimization Utilising live and historical lane performance, weather disruptions, port and airport congestion indicators, customs risk signals, and estimated transit reliability to recommend the fastest, most reliable, and most cost-effective routing options across global trade corridors. Carrier selection and performance scoring Ranking carriers by lane and service level using on-time performance, transit consistency, exception frequency, claims history, capacity availability, and total cost-to-serve, enabling shippers to select the most suitable carrier for each shipment rather than relying solely on freight rates. Scenario planning and predictive analysis Allowing logistics teams to model alternative routings, carrier allocations and sourcing strategies before peak seasons and promotional campaigns, quantifying the potential impact on lead times, costs, service levels and supply chain risk. Early deployments indicate that the solution can help shippers reduce lead-time variability, lower premium freight and expedite spending, improve on-time-in-full (OTIF) performance, and strengthen inventory planning accuracy. These improvements contribute directly to higher product availability, improved sell-through rates, and better working-capital efficiency. “With this new capability, shippers can transform logistics from a cost centre into a competitive advantage,” added Cheung. “Our AI does not simply tell businesses where their cargo is. It recommends the best route, the right carrier, and the lowest-risk option based on real-time conditions, helping organizations make faster and more profitable decisions.” Global shippers, retailers and e-commerce leaders attending WMX Asia are invited to experience live demonstrations of MG Ship’s AI route optimisation and carrier recommendation platform and explore pilot programs designed to quantify operational and financial ROI within their own logistics networks. WMX Asia is one of the region’s leading conferences for postal, parcel and express executives. The 2026 event, themed “Delivering the Future: eCommerce, Innovation & Opportunity in Asia’s Logistics Landscape,” will take place on 16-17 September 2026 at Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong.

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 04/09/2026 / 17:54 UTC+8 AI for Science (AI4S) is reshaping the paradigm of life science exploration. Spanning drug discovery, genetic analysis and clinical diagnosis and treatment, AI has emerged as a core engine driving breakthroughs in biological research. In medical imaging, a pivotal track for healthcare AI innovation, AI4S has evolved beyond image reading assistance to build generalized underlying intelligence infrastructure for clinical and scientific research. As a distinctive practitioner in this global trend, Diagens Technology Co., Ltd. (02526.HK, “Diagens Tech”) does not engage in pharmaceutical R&D, but builds fundamental AI research infrastructure to empower life science imaging analysis. The launch of the world’s first foundational medical imaging model iMedImage® and the end-to-end platform iMedLoop™ enables hospitals and research institutions to share AI production capabilities through projects and co-development. Most importantly, Diagens Tech has established a commercial closed-loop featuring “data – model development – product – clinical practice – data”, which underpins Diagens Tech’s one-of-a-kind medical imaging AI Model Factory, enabling in-depth scientific research and sustainable commercial resilience. Data Standardization: Building a Data‑Governance System amid Complex Clinical Conditions Medical imaging data is inherently heterogeneous, a challenge further amplified by China’s diversified clinical settings. Different levels of healthcare facilities nationwide deploy equipment from diverse domestic and international brands and models. Coupled with China’s vast territory and large population, the country has cultivated unique patient cohorts and disease spectrums that are hard to be replicated elsewhere. Direct model training on unprocessed raw data would substantially amplify noise and disruption. Standardization serves as the very first step to convert raw imaging data into high-quality data assets. Powered by intelligent annotation and expert quality control mechanisms, Diagens Tech’s iMedStudio™ delivers multi-layered data refinement through AI precise segmentation, intelligent arbitration and manual expert review, converting raw medical images into standardized training samples. As of end-June 2026, this high-precision data processing pipeline has accumulated approximately 28.95 million annotated samples, supported by a professional team of over 3,000 specialized annotators. Constrained by clinical data security protocols and on-site data collection requirements, standardized medical imaging infrastructure cannot be established overnight. Through nearly a decade of in-depth hospital collaboration, Diagens Tech has fully operationalized its optimized end-to-end data governance pipeline. Its standardized framework eliminates format and annotation inconsistencies while preserving cohort and device diversities. Such heterogeneous data features were deemed constraints in the traditional “one model per disease” approach, yet constitute core advantages for foundational large models. The high-diversity data assets refined from complex real-world clinical scenarios form the cornerstone of robust cross-scenario generalization capabilities. Model Scaling: Transforming Model‑Building from Craftsmanship to Industrialized Production This revolutionary shift in production methodology originated from Diagens Tech’s forward-looking strategic decision in 2017. While industry peers prioritized rapid iteration of disease-specific models, Diagens Tech embarked on a long-term, high-barrier path of independent R&D for medical imaging foundational large models. Built on self-accumulated clinical data assets, this proprietary foundational infrastructure cannot be purchased or rapidly replicated, granting Diagens Tech a multi-year technological lead in foundational model development. Today, the flagship iMedImage® foundational medical imaging model features 104 billion parameters, trained on over 80 million medical images covering 19 mainstream imaging modalities. With this mature foundation in place, new specialty-specific models no longer require full-cycle training from scratch, and can be rapidly deployed via targeted fine-tuning with specialty-specific data. Previously requiring years of data accumulation and iteration, the deployment of specialty-specific models is now compressed to two to three months. As of end-June 2026, Diagens Tech has delivered 158 specialty-specific model projects through cooperation with nearly 100 hospitals nationwide. The interim‑period results deliver quantifiable proof of operational returns. In the first half of 2026, Diagens Tech’s model service revenue reached RMB 94.541 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 101.1% and accounting for 86.9% of total revenue. R&D expenditure stood at approximately RMB 64.12 million, up 67.4% year-on-year. The substantial outperformance of revenue growth over R&D investment growth validates accelerating platform-based economies of scale. Sustained R&D investment underscores ongoing expansion, with industrialized productivity yet to reach full potential. The essence of scaling lies in optimized cost structures. The foundation requires only one-time massive investment, supporting iterative development of unlimited specialty-specific models without repeated high-cost input. Multi-project deployment in parallel enables all online models to benefit synchronously from each foundational model iteration. Rather than relying on individual models, value is accumulated across the entire pipeline, fundamentally transforming medical AI model development from craftsmanship to industrial manufacturing.

Combining PolyU’s research strengths and Diagens Tech’s industrial capabilities, the Joint Lab is expected to galvanize advances in medical AI and further improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare services in Hong Kong, across China and worldwide. Dr. Song commented that AI for Science (AI4S) is reshaping the global medical AI landscape. AI presents challenges and opportunities comparable to the Apollo Program in helping humans decode life and health, and advance diagnosis, prevention and prediction of complex diseases. Diagens Tech has long strived to realize industrial-scale production of medical AI. Faced with explosive demand, neither enterprises nor universities can sustain global leadership alone. The Joint Lab with PolyU will deliver win-win empowerment by integrating PolyU’s capacity for original innovation and Diagens Tech’s industrial-scale delivery capabilities. It bridges academia and industry to explore new productivity paradigms for medical AI and usher in the next era of medical AI for Science. Diagens Tech has long specialized in medical imaging AI foundational technologies and R&D-production systems, with a persistent focus on medical AI4S. It has achieved a major technological leap in medical AI, moving from one model per disease to industrialized mass production. Diagens Tech has developed the world’s first and only foundational medical imaging model iMedImage®, the intelligent image annotation platform iMedStudio™, and dedicated model training and delivery platform iMedMaaS®, creating an end-to-end value chain covering data generation, model development and deployment optimization. As of H1 2026, Diagens Tech has collaborated with 99 hospitals to train 158 vertical models spanning 43 human organs and 61 disease areas, validating the technical pathway for batch model training enabled by reuse of foundational capabilities. PolyU is one of the world’s leading academic institutions. According to Dr. Song, the partnership marks a key milestone in Diagens Tech’s long-term AI4S strategy. Building upon the Joint Lab, both parties will accelerate the development of the medical AI industry, advancing beyond large model development into the next phase of AI4S. This enables systematic research and scientific validation for more critical research topics sourced directly from clinical practice. The Joint Lab to Drive Medical AI into the Age of AI Agents Dr. Li, Project Lead of the Joint Lab, explained that traditional medical diagnosis and treatment relied entirely on clinicians’ expertise accumulated over decades, leading to extremely long talent incubation cycles. Following AI-healthcare integration, academia and industry are eager to accelerate AI adoption in drug discovery, clinical care and healthcare administration. This will drive the transformation of the healthcare industry while benefiting public health. Medical AI may well become the highest-value vertical industry for AI deployment in the future. He noted that AI-healthcare integration is now at a critical inflection point of technological paradigm shift, having gone through two developmental stages. The first stage is the small-model phase: teams collect targeted data and train dedicated small models for a specific disease or medical task, a process that often takes years. Dr. Li commented: “Small models remain necessary, yet they suffer from long development cycles and high costs. There are over 5,000 medical imaging detection tasks globally awaiting solutions, which calls for a new productivity paradigm.” The second stage is the large-model phase: a medical foundational model with general capabilities is pre-trained and then adapted for different diseases, datasets and medical tasks. This represents substantial progress compared with the first phase. For instance, general large models can cut the development cycle of specialty-specific models down to several months, while very few healthcare players possess such technology, capabilities and practical experience. After research on global medical AI players, Dr. Li found that most players are still building specialty-specific small models typical of Stage One. Diagens Tech’s foundational medical imaging model iMedImage® is globally leading, marking a breakthrough from Stage One to Stage Two. It transforms medical AI from “one model per disease” to “one foundation for thousands of models”, delivering large-model-based industrialized mass production. This motivated him to partner with Diagens Tech to establish the Joint Lab and build a collaborative team. What are the lab’s objectives? According to Dr. Li, the Joint Lab aims to advance AI-healthcare integration into Stage Three: the age of AI Agents. In the large-model stage, substantial manual work is still required for data curation, parameter configuration, model training, result analysis and iterative refinement when adapting medical foundational models into specialty-specific models. He intends to combine Diagens Tech’s expertise in medical large models and industrial deployment with PolyU’s research strengths in large models, multimodal technology and AI Agents. The goal is to move medical AI beyond the large-model stage into the age of AI Agents: shifting from humans directly building specialty-specific small models on general large models, to humans training AI Agents to develop specialty-specific small models based on foundational large models. What role will AI play in the AI Agent era? Dr. Li explained that for research and innovation, the lab will explore how AI agents can participate in the full lifecycle of medical AI R&D: interpreting research tasks, invoking specialist tools, running model experiments, analyzing outputs and iterating research plans based on feedback. This enables AI to evolve beyond single-task execution to support researchers conducting continuous, systematic medical studies. PolyU excels at frontier AI research, while Diagens Tech owns medical foundational models, R&D platforms and real-world deployment scenarios. The collaboration frames research around practical clinical challenges and validates new technologies within real-world settings. It shortens the path from academic inquiry to operational systems and products, allowing research outcomes to benefit clinical practice faster and more effectively. Medical AI stands as one of the most critical and representative fields of AI for Science. Its development is essentially a story of advancing AI technologies unlocking greater productivity in medical R&D. Dr. Li noted that the lab’s ambition is not merely improving individual models, but building a generative, replicable and scalable paradigm for medical AI R&D. This unlocks solutions for medical challenges once understudied due to high costs and long timelines, ushering in a new productivity era for the medical AI sector. Linking Research Outcomes to Innovation Networks in Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland and Rest of the World Leveraging Hong Kong’s international innovation ecosystem and PolyU’s research networks, both parties will further connect with healthcare institutions, research teams and industry partners across the Chinese mainland and worldwide. They will facilitate international academic exchange and validation of research findings, bringing clinical challenges, datasets and research methodologies originating from Chinese healthcare practice into broader global scientific collaboration. Moving ahead, the Joint Lab will be grounded in real-world clinical needs to drive its research agenda. The two partners aim to tackle long-standing medical challenges, enable previously unfeasible research, and generate internationally influential original innovations. The collaboration will deliver cutting-edge technological and research support for the Healthy China initiative and global healthcare development. 04/09/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com
