HONG KONG, Aug 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX: 1952.HK) today announced a strategic equity investment in I-Mab (NASDAQ: IMAB), under which Everest will invest US$30.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$242.6 million) in cash. Upon completion of the subscription and inclusive of shares already held, Everest will own approximately 16.1% of I-Mab’s total outstanding shares.Under the terms of the agreement of this offering, Everest will subscribe for 15,846,154 newly issued American depositary shares (ADSs) of I-Mab at a price of US$1.95 per ADS, for a total consideration of US$30.9 million. Upon completion, Everest will hold a total of 15,846,154 ADSs and 6,078,571 ordinary shares, representing approximately 16.1% of I-Mab’s total issued share capital, inclusive of 6,078,571 ordinary shares it already owns. In addition to Everest, several leading global institutional investors are participating in this offering, including Janus Henderson Investors, Adage Capital Partners LP, Woodline Partners, and Exome Asset Management.This strategic investment marks a significant step in Everest’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its position in next-generation cancer immunotherapy. It also reflects the strong clinical and business development complementarity and synergy between the two companies. I-Mab’s Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody, givastomig, demonstrated an impressive overall response rate (ORR) of 83% in combination with immunotherapy in a Phase 1b trial for first-line gastric cancer. I-Mab’s differentiated 4-1BB receptor-targeting platform and bispecific antibody pipeline are highly complementary with Everest’s existing mRNA cancer vaccine and in vivo CAR-T platforms.In addition, I-Mab’s unique clinical translational capabilities, particularly in the U.S., combined with Everest’s clinical capabilities in Asia, could help accelerate the development and global expansion of pipeline products for both companies.“This strategic equity investment furthers our plan to be an active player in next-generation oncology programs across global markets. Everest and its Board of Directors believe this investment recognizes I-Mab’s unique clinical translational capabilities in the U.S., which are complementary and synergistic with the Company’s strong Asia presence,” said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “As a biotech pioneer in China, Everest has built internally developed pipeline assets including mRNA therapeutic cancer vaccines and in vivo CAR-T therapies targeting cancer and autoimmune diseases. Our areas of focus meaningfully intersect with I-Mab’s differentiated 4-1BB platform and bispecific antibody pipeline, including oncology candidates Givastomig (Claudin 18.2 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody) and Ragistomig (PD-L1 x 4-1BB bispecific antibody), both promising programs that we are closely watching. Furthermore, both companies may be able to leverage their combined expertise to run clinical programs in both China and the U.S. Everest is proud to develop innovative and valuable therapies that can benefit cancer patients globally.”The strategic equity investment not only strengthens Everest Medicines’ position in next-generation immuno-oncology, but also extends the global development path of its proprietary AI-powered mRNA platform. As a key pillar of Everest’s “dual-engine” strategy of in-licensing and internal innovation, the company has made solid progress in building and internationalizing its AI+mRNA platform. Multiple pipeline programs are advancing in preclinical research, with a strong focus on oncology and autoimmune diseases. Looking ahead, Everest will accelerate global clinical development and regulatory efforts, while actively exploring collaborations with leading international biopharmaceutical companies to maximize the value of its platform and bring breakthrough therapies to patients worldwide.

MERAUKE, Indonesia, Aug 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Berkat Cipta Abadi (BCA), a subsidiary of oil palm plantation and processing giant Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group, launched a biogas and compressed biomethane gas plant in Papua. The plant will help TSE Group manage their production waste better and create a practical energy solution, while marking an important milestone in the company’s journey toward its vision and net-zero emissions.The South Papuan Governor (fourth from right), Merauke Regent, and Tunas Sawa Erma (TSE) Group CEO with state officials and company executives after a plaque signing marking the launch of TSE's renewable energy plant in Merauke Regency, South Papua (Aug 1, 2025)"What we're launching today is the product of our vision at TSE Group. We're aiming to build an efficient, advanced industry that's also sustainable, environmentally safe, and community-orientated,” said TSE Group's CEO Robert Seung in his opening speech.The biogas and compressed biomethane gas (CBG) plant will convert 1,000 m³ of palm oil mill effluent (POME) into methane on a daily basis, with most of the output providing environmentally friendly electricity for BCA's factories and administrative buildings.The remaining gas will be compressed and used to fuel electricity generators in some parts of the operational site. This way, diesel consumption can be further reduced by 1 million litres per year, ensuring greater energy efficiency across TSE Group offices.TSE Group CEO Robert Seung leads Merauke Regent Yoseph B. Gebze (R) and South Papuan Governor Apolo Safanpo (L) on a demonstration tour of the new biogas and compressed biomethane gas (CBG) plants on Friday (Aug 1, 2025).BCA expects to benefit from annual cuts in emissions reaching 60,708 tonnes, a power supply of 2 megawatts for its 150-tonnes-per-day palm kernel crushing plant, and an annual diesel reduction of 4 million litres.Friday's launch also opened a new chapter in POME-based energy adoption and public-private collaboration supporting Indonesia's carbon-slashing NDC commitment. This commitment also aligns with the Paris Agreement's target to limit global warming to 2°C.The first of its kind in the region, the facility was inaugurated in a ceremony entitled "Green Power, Born from Waste: Papua's First Biogas Power Launch," attended by South Papuan Governor Apolo Safanpo, Merauke Regent Yoseph B. Gebze, South Papuan People's Assembly Chairman Damianus Katayu, Merauke Regional People’s Representative Council members, Merauke Departmental Police Force leader Leonardo Yoga, and other local state officials.TSE Group CEO Robert Seung explains Papua's first POME-to-energy plant to visitors on hand for the plant's inauguration on Friday (Aug 1, 2025)South Papua Governor Apolo Safanpo showed his support, saying the biogas plant aligns with state plans to achieve food and energy independence. "It's a good start to food and energy independence. Thank you, TSE Group, for initiating biogas development in Papua. I hope this site sets an example for regions outside Merauke Regency."Similar praises were echoed by Merauke Regent Yoseph B. Gebze. "On behalf of the Merauke government and people, we want to congratulate TSE Group for the launch. We hope this renewable energy facility propels a region-wide shift towards eco-friendly developments."Biogas facilities will be built in five other locations belonging to TSE Group subsidiaries. In the meantime, the corporation will expand its green initiatives, e.g., EV, solar energy, and eco-friendly fertiliser use in its operations. TSE Group believes its efforts would encourage more palm oil players to achieve end-to-end sustainability and bring a better future for all.For more information, please visit https://www.tsegroup.co.id or contact the TSE Group at pr@tsegroup.co.id.         Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Concord New Energy Group (“CNE” or "the Group", Stock Code: 0182.HK), announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June, 2025 (the "Period"). In the first half of 2025, the Group's newly built power plants were successively commissioned, and financing costs were further reduced. However, facing the dual challenges of worsening curtailment in certain regions of China and a decline in comprehensive electricity prices, the Group's core business came under pressure, resulting in a decrease in both revenue and profit. In response, the Group promptly adjusted its development strategy in light of the changing environment. With the goal of enhancing profit certainty, we adjusted our business strategies to prioritize quality. Guided by the principles of improving efficiency and creating value, the Group focused on enhancing the profitability of its power plants, strengthening its power trading capabilities.During the period, the Group achieved the continuing operations revenue of RMB1.4 billion, representing a year-on-year drop of 6.6%. Profit attributable to equity holders of the Group amounted to RMB282 million, with a net profit margin of 20%. Basic earnings per share was RMB3.58 cents. As of 30 June 2025, the Group had net assets of RMB8.9 billion and net assets attributable to equity shareholders of the Group per share was RMB1.11.In the first half of 2025, the Group continued to expand the presence in key international markets and strengthened project development capabilities. The Group secured 600 MW of new wind investment projects (listed in annual construction plans) in China, and 152.5 MW of solar projects and 300 MW of energy storage projects outside China. Additionally, during the development of power plant projects, the Group created multi-dimensional synergies with its professional service businesses, including power plant O&M, design, consulting and power trading. The contract value of newly signed external agreements for power plant O&M, design and consulting grew significantly.During the period, the Group successfully achieved the on-schedule grid connection of multiple projects through meticulous planning and organization. In the first half of 2025, the Group's newly commissioned projects added an attributable capacity of 191 MW, including 140 MW of wind and 51 MW of solar power. As of 30 June 2025, the Group owned operational wind and solar power plants with an attributable installed capacity of 4,778 MW, representing a year-on-year increase of 18.0%. This includes 3,844 MW from wind farms, an improvement of 10.9% year-on-year, and 934 MW from solar PV power plants with a year-on-year growth of 60.0%. The attributable installed capacity of the Group’s subsidy-free power plants has reached 3,380 MW, accounting for 70.7% of the Group’s total attributable installed capacity.In the first half of 2025, affected by adverse factors such as unfavorable wind resources, increased curtailment at some power plants and a decrease in the comprehensive electricity price, the Group's power generation revenue declined by 2.1%, accompanied by a decrease in net profit from power generation. During the period, the Group's attributable power generation remained stable compared to the same period last year, reaching 4,759GWh. The Group's weighted average utilization hours for wind farms were 1,142 hours, and for solar PV power plants, they were 531 hours. Additionally, the Group strengthened green electricity trading and green certificate sales, with green electricity transaction volume increasing by 26% year-on-year, effectively offsetting the adverse impact of the overall decline in electricity prices.Meanwhile, the Group concentrated on refined and professional management, reduced financing costs continuously and improved the efficiency of power plants. During the period, the average financing cost for newly drawn loans decreased to 3.15%, and the Group's overall financing cost fell to 3.63%, both remaining at low levels. The Group reduced power generation losses caused by equipment failure by 40%.Mr. Liu Shun Xing, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Concord New Energy Company Limited indicates, “In response to the rapidly evolving landscape of the new energy sector, the Group has implement a series of operational adjustments. Guided by the principles of enhancing efficiency and creating value, we have optimized our business strategies. At the same time, we strengthened management through a focus on ‘refinement and specialization.’ These efforts have yielded meaningful cost reductions and efficiency gains. We have also made concerted efforts to strengthen our power trading capabilities, with a strong focus on electricity marketing, expanding green power transactions and green certificate sales, and actively developing our global business. These initiatives have begun to show promising results. Looking ahead, the Group has formulated and is executing a new development strategy, underpinned by the objective of ‘strengthening the enterprise and enhancing the certainty of profitability.’ We will place greater emphasis on the quality of growth, with the aim of delivering greater returns to our shareholders.” Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The year 2025 marks the resurgence of industrial capital focused on long-term value creation. Recently, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) stands out with a multidimensional breakthrough—racking up investment successes, winning multiple institutional and individual awards, executing steady share buybacks, and receiving bullish analyst ratings. The company's long-term roadmap anchored in hard-tech and industrial depth is beginning to pay off rapidly.I. From Awards Powerhouse to Hard-Tech Benchmark: Zhao Tianyang’s Investment Strategy Gains Mainstream RecognitionIn July 2025, Zhao Tianyang, Chairman of the Board and Executive Committee of Shoucheng Holdings, was named on multiple prestigious lists by Caijing, Securities Times, and 36Kr, including “CVC & Industrial Capital Top 50 Investors,” “Investor of the Year,” and “Top 100 Most Popular Investors Among Founders.” His personal style and Shoucheng’s synergistic strategy are earning high recognition from both the industry and capital markets.Simultaneously, Shoucheng Holdings was awarded “Outstanding Frontier Technology Investment Institution,” “Top 100 Private Equity Institutions,” and “Best Emerging Healthcare Investor,” marking strong market validation for its heavy investments in robotics, frontier tech, healthcare, and new energy.Zhao’s success is no accident. In recent years, he has led strategic early bets on companies like Unitree, Galbot, Noetix Robotics—many of which are leaders in humanoid robotics, surgical AI, or quantum health. His ability to connect investment with real-world deployment has made him a standout figure in industrial capital.II. From Betting on Underdogs to Ecosystem Realization: Robotics Strategy Goes Deep2025 is a pivotal year for robotics, transitioning from tech validation to scaled delivery. As early as 2024, Shoucheng partnered with Beijing’s state asset authority to launch a multi-billion yuan “Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund.” The fund has backed humanoid, medical, and industrial robots, creating a full-cycle loop from procurement to deployment to reinvestment.The strategy is now paying off. In July, Tsinghua’s Fire God team—powered by Shoucheng-backed Booster Robotics—won China’s first championship in the RoboCup humanoid division. Unitree has entered the IPO fast track. Several portfolio companies—Galbot, Noetix—made headlines at WAIC and the Humanoid Robot Games, marking their transition from R&D to market presence.Meanwhile, Shoucheng is offering real deployment scenarios for robotics—like REIT-backed industrial parks and transport hubs—creating a feedback loop of demand validation and product iteration. This accelerates its shift from investor to ecosystem co-builder.III. Capital Actions Speak Louder: Buybacks and AAA Ratings Support FundamentalsOn the financial front, Shoucheng has been assertive. Since July, the company has repurchased over 36 million shares, investing more than HK$66 million, with stable prices between HK$1.80 and HK$1.87—effectively supporting its share price and liquidity.At the same time, Shoucheng once again received dual AAA long-term issuer ratings from CCXI and United Ratings—China’s top two rating agencies—for the third consecutive year. This affirms its capital structure, financial robustness, and credibility, making it a rare AAA-rated tech-infrastructure hybrid in the Hong Kong market.Reports cite Shoucheng’s strong shareholder support and steady cash flow from parking and industrial space management as key enablers for its long-term tech investments.IV. Analysts Align: “Smart Infrastructure Platform” Logic Gains VisibilityOn July 30, Dongbei Securities initiated coverage on Shoucheng with a buy rating, forecasting a 15% outperformance over the next six months. The report praises Shoucheng’s transition from “traditional asset operator” to “smart infrastructure platform” and its dual-track approach of capital + scenarios in robotics.Previously, leading brokerages including CICC, CSC Financial, and GF Securities had also issued positive ratings, commending the company’s systematic playbook in robotics, new energy, and medtech.Analysts agree: Shoucheng’s integrated model—investment + operation + application—has built a robust, defensible platform that could define smart infrastructure in the Hong Kong market.V. Execution Defines Moat: A Capital Force That Transcends CyclesIn a volatile macro and industry environment, Shoucheng shows strong stability from opportunity identification to value realization. Zhao Tianyang and his team are answering the call of our times: industrial capital isn’t just about foresight—it’s about delivery.As commercial robotics, healthcare recovery, and hard-tech globalization gather steam, Shoucheng stands at the dawn of a harvest cycle. This time, it’s not just telling stories. It’s collecting the rewards.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, July 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Hong Kong’s equity market continues to face valuation pressure and investor sentiment remains cautious, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has taken decisive action to respond with confidence.According to disclosures filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the company repurchased 20.65 million shares over two consecutive days on July 29 and 30, 2025, for a total consideration of HKD 37.93 million, with prices ranging between HKD 1.80 and HKD 1.87 per share. This is not the company’s first sizable repurchase this year. In fact, Shoucheng Holdings has repurchased over 36 million shares since July, with total capital deployed exceeding HKD 66 million.At a time when many peers remain on the sidelines, Shoucheng’s sustained repurchases highlight the strength of its conviction and capital position.1. Beyond Price Support: A Declaration of Long-Term Confidence by ManagementShare repurchases are among the most direct signals a listed company can send to the capital markets. Unlike short-term technical interventions, Shoucheng’s proactive repurchase strategy clearly reflects management’s firm belief in the company’s long-term intrinsic value.Management commented:“Our current share price does not fully reflect the company’s fundamentals and industrial potential. At a time of significant undervaluation, we believe it is our responsibility to act decisively and demonstrate long-term confidence. This reflects our accountability to shareholders and our responsibility as an industry-driven enterprise.”Public filings show that Shoucheng has been executing a dual-engine strategy focused on asset operation and asset integration, while expanding into core areas such as REITs investment, smart parking, and industrial real estate. At the same time, it is actively investing in emerging sectors such as robotics and medical technology, creating stronger synergy between capital and industry.2. IPO Pipeline in Motion: Capital Realisation Within ReachRecent developments among Shoucheng’s portfolio companies have further reinforced its long-term outlook.Leading robotics company Unitree Robotics has officially launched its STAR Market IPO process. As a global leader in quadruped and humanoid robotics, Unitree’s upcoming listing is widely viewed as a milestone in the sector’s capital market trajectory. Shoucheng led Unitree’s Series C round in 2024 and continued to participate in subsequent rounds. Based on publicly available data, Shoucheng’s managed Beijing Robotics Industry Development Fund is Unitree’s eighth largest shareholder, positioning the company to be a key beneficiary of its IPO.Meanwhile, cell therapy and immuno-engineering biotech firm IMUNOPHARM has also entered IPO preparation, strengthening Shoucheng’s pipeline of high-potential medical technology exits.With multiple portfolio companies nearing their capitalisation windows, Shoucheng’s continued repurchases not only bolster market confidence but also reflect management’s acute understanding of the disconnect between primary market valuations and secondary market pricing.3. Three Key Conferences Accelerate Robotic Ecosystem MomentumBeyond capital developments, Shoucheng’s industrial strategy is approaching a critical point.In late July, the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) successfully concluded. Several of Shoucheng’s portfolio companies, including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, DEEP Robotics, Galbot and Matrix showcased their latest advances in intelligent manufacturing and embodied AI.Looking ahead to August, two major robotics events are set to follow: the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) and the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games. As premier global platforms, these events are expected to accelerate industry recognition and application for Shoucheng’s growing robotics ecosystem.Companies under Shoucheng’s portfolio—Unitree, Galbot, Booster Robotics, Noetix, and DEEP Robotics—will participate across key domains, from full-system R&D, control software, and bio-inspired actuators to real-world deployment and developer ecosystems. This reflects Shoucheng’s full-chain capabilities from early-stage investment to platform-level industrial enablement.While many companies remain cautious, waiting for a full market rebound, Shoucheng has already taken proactive steps to communicate its confidence. Its recent repurchases are not merely a price management tool—they are an expression of its strategic direction, execution discipline, and commitment to long-term value creation.As the August industry window opens and IPO progress accelerates, Shoucheng’s repurchase strategy may prove not only timely but also visionary, marking an early confirmation of the company’s future growth trajectory.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
