Saskatoon, Saskatchewan--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - April 27, 2026) - Buffalo Potash Corporation (TSXV: BUFF) (OTCQB: BLPTF) (the "Company" or "Buffalo") is pleased to announce the completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") and concurrent release of its maiden 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate for its 100%-owned Disley Potash Project (the "Disley Project"), located in Saskatchewan, Canada.The PEA has been filed and can be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ (www.sedarplus.ca) and on the Company's website (www.buffalopotash.ca).PEA & Mineral Resource Estimate Highlights Total production of 1,000,000 tonnes per annum (TPA) of K62 granular-grade Muriate of Potash (MOP) and 125,000 TPA of K62 soluble grade MOPAfter-tax NPV(1)(8) of US$1.1B and IRR(1) of 30%US$639M initial CAPEX estimate, including US$128M in contingencyEstimated US$55/t MOP OPEX (Table 4)Measured and indicated tonnage of 1,671.5 million metric tonnes at an average grade of 34.8% KCl, yielding 582 million tonnes of KClOver 50 years of mine life at 1,125,000 TPA based on current resource estimate (Table 2)(2)The advancement of a Feasibility Study ("FS") for Disley East and Disley West (the "HLD Mines") will run concurrent with Initial Production Module ("IPM") construction, with FS completion representing the key decision gate for proceeding to construction of Disley East and Disley West(3)(2) Based on Measured and Indicated resource estimate of 582Mt at 34.8% KCl.(3) The PEA does not constitute a feasibility study and does not demonstrate economic viabilityMr. Steve Halabura P.Geo., Buffalo Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Since founding Buffalo Potash in 2018, the team and I have invested years of disciplined work — geological, technical, and strategic — to systematically unlock the potential of modular selective solution potash mining in Saskatchewan, the key being Buffalo's Disley Project. Having spent my career working in Saskatchewan potash, I had a strong conviction from the beginning that Disley had a substantial resource endowment, and this Mineral Resource Estimate confirms exactly that. The PEA illustrates both low capex per tonne and operating cost per tonne, as well as setting a new environmental standard for how potash production should look in the 21st century — no tailings stored on surface and minimal freshwater usage." Mr. Halabura continued: "The team and I believe the Disley Project represents the next generation of Saskatchewan potash solution mining and are excited to begin development of the Initial Production Module, which will be the first leg of this buildout and is expected to bring soluble-grade potash production online within the next 12 months. During the development of the Initial Production Module, we will also test our patent-pending Vortex Crystallizer, alongside an industry standard crystallizer, which has the potential to significantly reduce the capex of the Initial Production Module and further potential build-outs. With global attention turning to the security of critical supply chains, the urgency to bring reliable, jurisdiction-stable potash production online has never been greater. This is a proud moment for our team, our shareholders, and the stakeholders that have supported us along the way — and we are just getting started."Table 1: PEA SummaryLine ItemUnitsTotal Project Production Rate MOPTPA1,000,000Production Rate Soluble GradeTPA125,000Total Initial CAPEXUS$ million639CAPEX per Tonne CapacityUS$/tonne568Average Unit OPEXUS$/tonne55MOP Price (25-year avg.)US$/tonne393.6(4)Soluble Grade Price (25-year avg.)US$/tonne373.6(5)Pre-Tax NPV(1) (8%)US$ million1,534.67Pre-Tax IRR(1)%35Post-Tax NPV(1) (8%)US$ million1,085.47Post-Tax IRR(1)%30Steady-State Annual RevenueUS$ million442.5Steady-State Annual EBITDAUS$ million251.0 (4) LoM average price of Granular MOP, produced by Disley East and Disley West(5) LoM average price of Soluble Grade MOP, produced by IPMThe PEA is preliminary in nature and includes inferred mineral resources, which are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.PEA & Mineral Resource Estimate OverviewThe PEA was prepared by Micon International Co Limited ("Micon") in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and evaluates the development of the Disley Project as a phased potash solution mining operation. The PEA has an effective date of April 15, 2026 and is based on a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") developed concurrently by Micon with an effective date of April 15, 2026, incorporating historical assay data from legacy drilling programs as well as results from Buffalo Potash's 2026 confirmation drill program. The PEA contemplates a phased development approach across three production facilities on the Disley property:The Initial Production Module ("IPM") - is a low-capital entry point designed to bring 125,000 tonnes per year of soluble grade MOP to market;Disley East - a full-scale HLD Mine on the east segment of the Disley Project, with a production capacity of 500,000 tonnes per year of granular MOP; andDisley West - a full-scale HLD Mine on the west segment of the Disley Project, with a production capacity of 500,000 tonnes per year of granular MOP.Successful construction of the IPM is anticipated to provide technical data used in the completion of the concurrent FS and would, subject to the results from the FS and a positive construction decision, be followed by the potential concurrent development of the Disley East and Disley West HLD solution mines. If fully developed, the Disley Project is designed to have the capacity to produce 1,000,000 TPA of granular MOP and 125,000 TPA of soluble grade MOP ("Full Production Capacity").The MRE indicates a resource base that substantially exceeds the project's current design requirements, which, if successfully developed, would position the Disley Project as a long-life asset. This is consistent with the generational mine lifecycles typically associated with Saskatchewan potash operations, though there is no certainty that resources will be converted to reserves or that any particular mine life will be achieved.Table 2: Mineral Resource EstimateCategoryTonnage (Mt) Avg KCl GradeAvg K2O GradeKCl (Mt)K2O (Mt)Measured399.734.82%22.00%139.287.9Indicated1,267.434.84%22.01%441.5278.9Inferred2,663.234.96%22.08%930.9588.1 Table 2 Notes:The effective date of this MRE is April 15, 2026.Dr. Ryan Langdon, Ph.D, CGeol, of Micon is the QP responsible for this MRE.The MRE has been classified in the Measured, Indicated and Inferred categories.An average specific gravity (SG) value of 2.08 g/cm3 was used.Conversion between KCl and K2O was made using the formula KCl = K2O * 1.583The MRE used economic assumptions for HLD mining. A deduction was made to account for the presence of mining anomalies not detected by existing drill holes and seismic lines. The values used are 5% for Measured, 9% for Indicated and 25% for Inferred.The block model supporting the resource is orthogonal and has a block size of 50 m x 50 m x 0.9 m.The mineral resources described above have been prepared in accordance with the current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards and Practices.Numbers have been rounded to the nearest million tonnes. Differences may occur in totals due to rounding.Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration; however, it is reasonably expected that a significant portion of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded into Indicated Mineral Resources with further exploration.Micon's QP has not identified any legal, political, environmental, or other factors that could materially affect the potential development of the mineral resource estimate.Figure 1: Core Samples from the 7-10 Hole on the Disley ProjectTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12107/294332_592822e3642ebbb0_001full.jpgMining MethodBuffalo intends to develop the Project using solution mining, a well-established approach that has been successfully deployed across Saskatchewan for more than 50 years. Solution mining is widely recognized as a reliable and efficient technique for extracting potash from laterally continuous deposits, notably used at both neighboring properties of the Disley Project — the K+S Bethune mine and the Mosaic Belle Plaine mine.Building on this proven foundation, Buffalo holds a patent on an enhanced solution mining approach known as Horizontal-Line-Drive Selective Solution Mining ("HLD Mining"), which is the installation of commercially proven oil and gas injection systems within horizontal wells. This method is designed to optimize efficiency, reduce overall capital intensity, and significantly limit freshwater requirements, while remaining grounded in the principles of traditional solution mining.Following underground dissolution, potash-rich brine is recovered to surface and processed through crystallization, drying, and compaction to produce a finished potash product ready for local delivery or export via existing road and rail infrastructure that currently runs adjacent to the Disley Property.Initial Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) The initial capital cost estimate has been prepared in line with the Class 4 definition outlined by AACE International standards, with a contingency of 25% applied to the IPM, Disley East, and Disley West components.Mechanical equipment represents the largest component of initial capital expenditure at approximately 38% of Total Project initial CAPEX. For Disley East and Disley West, the mechanical scope encompasses the full processing train required to produce export-grade granular MOP, including crystallization, debrining and drying, compaction and glazing, soluble product screening, and product storage and loading. For the IPM, the mechanical scope includes a crystallizer, pumps, tanks, pipework, centrifuge, dryer, and baghouse. Total initial capital expenditure across all three facilities is US$639 million, as summarized in the table below.Table 3: Initial CAPEX SummaryDescription IPMDisley EastDisley WestTotal Project(US$ million)(US$ million)(US$ million)(US$ million)Site Works0.711.311.323.3Concrete-5.65.611.2Structural Steel1.29.39.319.9Mechanical15.1113.3113.3241.7Piping0.214.914.930.0Electrical-15.015.029.9Instrumentation0.12.92.95.9Architecture0.019.619.639.2Minor Mechanical4.72.42.49.4General Construction1.413.313.328.0Indirects-36.136.172.3Contingency5.860.960.9127.7Total Capital Expenditure(6)29.2304.7304.7638.6  (6) For modelling purposes, the total capital expenditure estimate for the PEA assumes use of an industry standard crystallizer instead of Buffalo's patent-pending Vortex Crystallizer.Sustaining capital of US$483 million (US$17/t MOP) over the life of mine comprises an annual provision of 2% of original fixed plant and surface infrastructure costs, plus US$10/t MOP for the drilling, completion and tie-in of replacement wells — the dominant component of sustaining capital — based on each set of three wells yielding 500,000 tonnes over an approximate 5-year useful life.Operating Expenses (OPEX)Buffalo Potash's estimated operating cost of US$55/t MOP reflects the structural advantages of operating in Saskatchewan, a mature potash jurisdiction with competitive industrial energy rates, an established skilled workforce, and existing road and rail infrastructure adjacent to the Disley Property enabling low-cost delivery to both domestic and export markets. Buffalo management anticipates these fundamentals position the Disley Project to be among the lowest-cost potash producers upon reaching full production.Table 4: OPEX SummaryItemDescription1,125,000 TPA(US$ million)IPM Contingency$14.49/t applied to IPM production only1.8Wellfield Power500 Hp at $0.063/kWh1.8Processing Power19,356 Hp at $0.063/kWh18.0Drilling$25,000/day; 45 days/yr0.1Pipes, Pumps, ValvesSteaming & general maintenance0.8InstrumentationMonitoring & controls0.4Labour32 staff7.8Natural Gas$386/1000m³ incl. carbon tax19.6Maintenance5% of major equipment capital5.4ReagentsDedust oil & anticake amines2.0Water$2.20/m³; 45 m³/hr1.3General & Admin SupervisionManagement & safety1.9Admin SuppliesOffice & admin supplies0.8Total Annual OPEX61.7OPEX US$/t MOP55 / tonne Economic AssumptionsThe economic analysis evaluates the Disley Project as a phased development consisting of the IPM to establish early cash flow, followed by the full-scale HLD Mine comprising Disley West and Disley East. The IPM was evaluated as a standalone project, with the HLD Mine (Disley East and Disley West) assessed on an incremental basis and in combination with the IPM as an overall project. A Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") model was constructed with the following assumptions:All costs and revenues are expressed in constant, first quarter 2026 money terms, with no provision for escalation or inflation;Capital and operating cost estimates denominated in Canadian dollars have been converted to US dollars at an exchange rate of CAD 1.38 per USD;A discount rate of 8% has been applied on an all-equity basis;The pre-tax results presented include the Saskatchewan Potash Production Tax (PPT) and royalties but exclude federal and provincial corporate income tax. The after-tax results include corporate income tax (Saskatchewan 12%, Federal 15%);The IPM ramps up over 3 months at 50% of nominal capacity; Disley West and Disley East have a 6-month ramp-up period at 50% of capacity, with the Disley East being deferred by a 3-month offset from the West Section;It is assumed the IPM is scheduled to begin construction July 2026 with commercial operations starting January 2027;It is assumed that a positive construction decision will be reached on Disley West and Disley East. Disley West is scheduled to begin construction July 2027, with operations beginning July 2029. Construction at Disley East is scheduled to be the final facility developed, with construction beginning October 2027 and operations beginning October 2029;Soluble grade MOP produced by the IPM is sold locally, incurring a transport cost of US$10/t compared to US$43/t for export grade granular MOP railed FOB Vancouver; soluble grade MOP is priced at a US$20/t discount to granular, reflecting a life-of-mine average of US$373.6/t versus US$393.6/t FOB Vancouver;In addition to MOP, the IPM will produce 50,000 m³ per year of KCl brine that may be attractive to regional oilfield services customers at an average transport cost of US$10/m³;Payback period is measured from the start of construction to the point at which cumulative cash flow turns positive; andAlthough the project's mine life is anticipated to extend beyond a 25-year time frame, the NPV(1) and IRR(1) calculations reflect a 25-year "LoM" period.The primary input parameters for the DCF model are outlined in the table below.Table 5: Summary of Inputs for Economic AnalysisInput ParametersUnitValueEvaluation Base Date - IPMDate2026-07-01Evaluation Base Date - Disley East & Disley WestDate2027-07-01Sales: HLD Mine MOP Sales (granular)TPA1,000,000Sales: IPM MOP (soluble)TPA125,000Sales: KCl Brinem3/yr50,000Price: Granular MOP (FOB Vancouver) 25-year averageUS$/t394Price: Soluble MOP 25-year averageUS$/t374Price: KCl BrineUS$/m343Transport Costs: Granular MOPUS$/t43Transport Costs: Soluble MOPUS$/t10Transport Costs: KCl BrineUS$/m310Corporate Tax (Sask. + Canada)%27%Contingency for CAPEX%25%Discount Rate%8%NPV calculationYears25 The Disley East and Disley West mines have a start date of construction later than that of the Initial Production Module, and their IRR(1), NPV(1) and Payback periods are all calculated from that later date, while the overall Project results reflect the start date of the IPM. The individual IPM phase has a payback period of 1.1 years, while Disley East and Disley West each respectively have payback periods of 2.9 years. The total Project payback of 4.7 years reflects an earlier calculated start date at the time of first production at the IPM, prior to first production from Disley East and Disley West.Table 6: Summary of OutputsMetricUnitTotal ProjectInitial CAPEXUS$ million639OPEXUS$55 / tonnePre-Tax NPV(1) (8)US$ million1,534Pre-Tax IRR(1)%35%Post-Tax NPV(1) (8)US$ million1,085Post-Tax IRR(1)%30% The Disley ProjectThe Disley Project is located approximately 50km northwest of Regina and covers 10,610 hectares (Crown and Freehold mineral rights). The property is situated immediately adjacent to the east of the K+S Bethune potash solution mine and north of the Mosaic Belle Plaine potash solution mine — both of which are amongst the largest producing potash solution mines in the world. In the opinion of management, the Disley Project is in one of the most favorable areas of Saskatchewan for potash solution mining (see Figure 2) as evidenced by the success of these neighboring projects(6).Figure 2: The Disley Property Situated Amongst Major Potash Solution Mines(7)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/12107/294332_592822e3642ebbb0_002full.jpgAbout Buffalo PotashBuffalo Potash is an emerging Saskatchewan-based potash developer pursuing a modular approach to selective solution mining through its patented Horizontal Line-Drive (HLD) technology.

HONG KONG, Apr 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released the latest Standard Chartered Greater Bay Area Business Confidence Index (GBAI), revealing that business sentiment among companies in the Greater Bay Area (GBA) remained stable in the first quarter of 2026 despite ongoing geopolitical and trade headwinds, notably oil price shocks and continued repercussions from the Middle East conflict.Maintaining Momentum Amid HeadwindsThe Q1 findings largely captured activity and business sentiment since the Middle East conflict began in late February, which has remained highly uncertain and weighed on overall business and market sentiment.Despite a reduced appetite for expansion amid persistent geopolitical uncertainties, business sentiment remained steady across the GBA. The “current performance” index for business activity in Q1 edged down marginally to 49.9 from 50.3 in the previous quarter, while the “expectation” index moderated to 50.4 from 51. Both indices hovered around the 50-neutral mark, indicating GBA corporates’ resilience, supported by favourable policies announced by the Chinese Government aimed at boosting the domestic economy, which in turn would partially offset the fallout of the Middle East conflict.The “current performance” index came down mainly driven by “raw material inventory”, “fixed asset investment” and “financing scale”. The latter two readings were believed to reflect more cautious sentiment among businesses in light of the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, “production/ sales”, “prices of finished goods/ services” and “profits” all experienced quarter-on-quarter expansion.The “expectations” index remained modestly positive, despite heightened external uncertainties. “New orders” held steady at 51.5, while “prices of finished good/ services” rose to 58.5. However, “profits” fell below the 50-watershed level, implying surveyed companies did not view price increases as sufficient to offset a likely rise in energy and material costs.Hong Kong to Sustain a Still-solid Growth PaceBy city, Hong Kong is expected to maintain a solid performance going forward. Although both the “current” and “expectation” sub-indices edged down to 52.7, these readings still comfortably stayed in expansionary territory, supported by improvements in “financial services” and “innovation and technology” sectors.Tommy Wu, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, said: “In addition to the initial impact of surging global energy and freight costs, there are concerns about second-round impacts, such as higher input costs and weaker global demand. This is aligned with the latest reading, which shows a 2.3-point decline in “new export orders” to 47.5 for “current performance”, indicating a more cautious outlook for export demand. With the prolonged Middle East conflict, we anticipate global energy prices to be higher for longer and the second-round effects to become more visible in the coming months. These will likely weigh on business sentiment and appetite on making fixed investment. Nevertheless, Hong Kong has once again demonstrated its resilience amid market turbulence, and such resilience is expected to attract more global capital into HKD and Renminbi assets as safe-haven allocation.”Demand-boosting Measures Favour GBA BusinessesThe survey also investigated the impacts of a series of supportive policies from the Chinese government aimed at stimulating domestic demand in its thematic section. Among the new policy measures introduced by the Ministry of Finance in January, most respondents cited “loan interest subsidies for small, medium and micro-sized enterprises” (38.4%), “large-scale equipment upgrade subsidies” (36.9%) and “consumer goods trade-in subsidies” (31.7%) as the top domestic demand-boosting policies likely to have the most positive impact on their business.Wing Chu, Deputy Director of Research, HKTDC, said: “Demand-boosting stimulus is generating tangible benefits for GBA companies, helping to cushion external challenges amid the Middle East conflict. Targeted support, including loan interest subsidies, alongside measures aimed at stimulating consumer spending, is underpinning demand and supporting business activity across the GBA. Overall, policy-led demand support continues to serve as a meaningful tailwind for GBA businesses. While cost pressures and market competition remain key concerns, respondents are considering stepping up investment in talent and market promotion to sustain further business growth.”While many respondents believe stimulative policies could benefit their businesses by boosting online sales (36.6%) and reducing operating costs (33.8%), challenges faced by GBA corporates remain. Specifically, 54.9% of respondents identified labour costs as the biggest pressure point for their businesses, followed by rental costs (41.7%) and market competition (33.3%). Zooming into Hong Kong respondents, market competition was viewed as a more pressing challenge than rental costs, likely due to the increase in cross-border travel and change in consumption behaviours in recent years. In these circumstances, 38.7% would prioritise their investment in talent recruitment, followed by market promotion (38.1%) and personnel training (36.7%).About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsStandard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Index Report: https://www.sc.com/hk/gba/gba-index-report/HKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjMwNjM2MTgxMQReport and photos download: https://bit.ly/4u3izEMWing Chu, Deputy Director of Research, HKTDC (right), and Tommy Wu, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered (left), announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) on 27 April 2026.Media enquiriesCorporate Affairs DepartmentStandard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited Flora Chiu Tel: (852) 3843 2285 Email: flora.chiu@sc.com   Communications & Public Affairs DepartmentHKTDC Christy LeeClayton Lauw Tel: (852) 2584 4369Tel: (852) 2584 4472Email: christy.wn.lee@hktdc.orgEmail: clayton.y.lauw@hktdc.orgAbout Standard CharteredWe are a leading international banking group, with a presence in 54 of the world’s most dynamic markets.

深圳, 2026年4月27日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 康哲藥業控股有限公司（867.HK/8A8.SG）（"康哲藥業"）欣然宣佈，近期，康哲藥業通過其全資附屬公司與Pharmacosmos A/S就異麥芽糖酐鐵注射液（"莫諾菲(R)"）和右旋糖酐鐵注射液（"科莫非(R)"）簽訂獨家商業化與供應協議（"協議"）。根據協議，康哲藥業獲得了在中華人民共和國（就本協議而言，不含香港特別行政區、澳門特別行政區、臺灣地區）獨家商業化產品的權利，Pharmacosmos A/S繼續負責生產、供應產品。合作期限為協議約定的生效之日起十五年，到期前雙方可友好協商延長。本次合作的兩款靜脈鐵劑均為原研藥，已在中國獲批上市並納入國家醫保目錄。其中，莫諾菲(R)為獨家藥，是中國首款獲批上市的第三代靜脈鐵劑，具有更穩定的創新矩陣式納米結構，安全性更優[1]，可一次足量補鐵，顯著減少輸注次數、更快提升血紅蛋白水平，提高臨床便捷性。另一款產品科莫非(R)為目前中國唯一被納入國家醫保目錄甲類，也是唯一被納入國家基本藥物目錄的靜脈鐵劑，臨床應用多年，其有效性與安全性已得到累積的臨床經驗和已發表數據的支持。上述兩款產品將形成覆蓋全渠道、全場景的靜脈補鐵產品矩陣，可滿足不同層級醫療機構、不同類型缺鐵性貧血患者的臨床需求，為患者提供更多元化、安全、高效的治療選擇。鐵缺乏症/缺鐵性貧血患者廣泛分佈於消化、心內、腎內、婦產、骨科等多個科室，均為康哲藥業的優勢專科領域，兩款產品的加入將與其現有在售產品的專家資源、學術推廣網絡高效協同，進一步強化康哲藥業在貧血治療領域的整體競爭力，並預期對其業績產生積極正面影響。關於莫諾菲(R)的更多信息莫諾菲(R)已於2021年1月30日獲批，用於治療口服鐵劑無效、無法口服補鐵或臨床需快速補鐵時的缺鐵狀況。2023年被納入《國家基本醫療保險、工傷保險和生育保險藥品目錄》（醫保目錄）乙類醫保。莫諾菲(R)由納米顆粒組成，其結構穩定、呈基質樣，由鐵原子層與短鏈線性异麥芽糖碳水化合物層交替構成。該結構可實現可控的鐵釋放，游離鐵含量更低，從而有助於形成良好的安全性特徵，包括較低的超敏反應和低磷血症風險。莫諾菲(R)可實現單次高劑量靜脈輸注給藥1000mg或更高劑量，而較早的療法（如蔗糖鐵）通常需要多次給藥，每次僅100至200 mg。因此莫諾菲(R)一次治療即可實現足量補鐵，减少輸注次數，減輕醫患負擔，並提升輸注能力。同時，其低磷血症風險較低，有助於避免骨折等併發症，並支持改善疲勞症狀（缺鐵性貧血關鍵症狀之一）。關於科莫非(R)的更多信息科莫非(R)為第二代低分子量右旋糖酐鐵注射液，於2003年在中國大陸獲批上市，用於無法口服鐵劑的缺鐵病人（如不耐受或口服鐵劑治療不滿意），同樣可實現單次大劑量足量補鐵。科莫非(R)憑藉多年臨床應用積累，其有效性與安全性已得到累積的臨床經驗和已發表數據的支持，其甲類醫保與基藥的雙重資質，支持其基層臨床補鐵的核心地位。關於鐵缺乏症和缺鐵性貧血鐵缺乏症（iron deficiency，ID）和缺鐵性貧血（iron deficiency anemia，IDA）是普遍影響兒童、停經前女性（尤其是孕婦）及老年人的全球性健康問題，可對多系統器官功能造成損害，引發生長發育遲緩、行為障礙、認知功能損傷、體能受損、圍產期及圍手術期併發症等一系列健康問題，亦會嚴重影響消化系統疾病、慢性腎臟疾病、心力衰竭及腫瘤等慢性疾病的預後[2]。超過10億人患有缺鐵性貧血[3]，使其成為全球疾病負擔的主要因素之一[4]。中國第4次營養調查數據顯示，居民IDA患病率為20.1%[5]，但醫患雙方重視程度不足，輕度貧血獲診治者不足20%，極重度貧血者亦僅50%獲診治，ID/IDA存在明顯診斷不及時及治療率偏低的情況[2]。補鐵為ID/IDA的常規治療方式，分為口服補鐵與靜脈補鐵，其中靜脈鐵劑是口服鐵劑不耐受、口服鐵劑療效不佳、臨床需快速補鐵、患者希望1-2次補足鐵量等情境下的重要手段[1,2,6]。但因對IDA重視不足、服藥依從性、住院時間、輸液便利性等條件限制，加上對靜脈鐵劑安全性的顧慮導致靜脈鐵劑使用較為保守。中國真實世界研究顯示，IDA患者蔗糖鐵使用總劑量均值為511mg，遠未達目標劑量1000mg[2]。臨床亟需安全性高、補鐵療效佳、可一次足量補鐵的靜脈鐵劑產品。莫諾菲(R)與科莫非(R)構建覆蓋全場景的靜脈補鐵產品矩陣，為缺鐵性貧血患者提供分層診療選擇。關於Pharmacosmos A/SPharmacosmos A/S為碳水化合物化學及缺鐵與缺鐵性貧血創新治療領域的全球領先企業。公司憑藉在碳水化合物化學與細胞週期生物學的深厚專業積累，致力於針對未被滿足的患者需求開發創新療法，重點關注鐵代謝及血液相關疾病。公司成立於1965年，總部位於丹麥，團隊由來自英國、愛爾蘭、北歐、德國、美國、加拿大及中國的700多名專家組成。憑藉優異的產品質量與臨床價值，核心鐵劑產品已於全球多個國家及地區獲批上市並廣泛應用，積累深厚技術實力與優質市場口碑。關於康哲藥業康哲藥業是一家鏈接醫藥創新與商業化，把控產品全生命週期管理的開放式平臺型企業，致力於提供有競爭力的產品和服務，滿足尚未滿足的醫療需求。康哲藥業專注於全球首創（FIC）及同類最優（BIC）的創新產品，並高效推進創新產品臨床研究開發和商業化進程，賦能科研成果向診療實踐的持續轉化，造福患者。康哲藥業聚焦專科領域，擁有被驗證的商業化能力，廣泛的渠道覆蓋和多疾病領域專家資源，核心在售產品已獲領先的學術與市場地位。康哲藥業圍繞優勢專科領域不斷縱深發展，以鞏固心腎代謝/消化/眼科/皮膚健康業務競爭力，帶來專科規模效率，其中皮膚健康業務（德鎂醫藥）已成為其細分領域的龍頭企業，並擬於聯交所獨立上市。同時，康哲藥業持續推動研產銷全產業鏈在東南亞及中東區域運營發展，以獲取新興市場的增量，助力集團實現高質量可持續發展。參考文獻/資料1. 中國藥理學會藥源性疾病學專業委員會. 廣東省藥學會. 靜脈鐵劑的臨床應用和藥學監護專家共識（2024）[J]. 藥物不良反應雜誌, 2025, 27(3): 129-141.

SHENZHEN, Apr 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (“CMS” or the “Group”) is pleased to announce that, the Group through its wholly-owned subsidiary entered into an exclusive commercialization and supply agreement (the “Agreement”) with Pharmacosmos A/S for Iron Isomaltoside Injection (“Monofer®”) and Iron Dextran Injection (“Cosmofer®”) recently. In accordance with the Agreement, the Group has obtained an exclusive right to commercialize the products in the People’s Republic of China (for the purpose of this Agreement, excluding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the Macau Special Administrative Region and Taiwan region). Pharmacosmos A/S will continue to manufacture and supply the products. The cooperation term shall be fifteen years from the effective date stipulated in the Agreement, which may be extended upon mutual agreement between the parties prior to expiry.The two intravenous iron therapies under this cooperation are both originator products that have been approved for marketing in China and included in the China’s National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL). Among them, Monofer® is an exclusive drug and the first third-generation intravenous iron therapy approved for marketing in China. It features an innovative and more stable matrix-like nanostructure and provides a superior safety profile[1]. Its single-dose full iron replenishment significantly reduces the number of infusions, enables faster improvement in hemoglobin levels and enhances clinical convenience. Another product, Cosmofer®, is currently the only intravenous iron therapy included in Category A of the NRDL and also the only one included in the National Essential Medicines List (NEML). With many years of accumulated clinical use, its efficacy and safety have been supported by accumulated clinical experience and published data.The above two products will form a comprehensive intravenous iron product portfolio covering all channels and treatment scenarios, which can support meeting the clinical needs of different levels of healthcare institutions and different types of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) patients, providing more diversified, safe and effective treatment options for patients. Patients with iron deficiency (ID) and IDA are widely distributed across multiple clinical departments, including gastroenterology, cardiology, nephrology, obstetrics and gynecology, and orthopedics, which are all key specialty areas of the Group. The addition of the two products will generate efficient synergies with the Group’s existing marketed products in expert resources and academic promotion network, further strengthening the Group’s overall competitiveness in the field of anemia treatment, and is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s performance.More information about Monofer®Monofer® was approved on 30 January 2021 for the treatment of iron deficiency in patients where oral iron preparations are ineffective, cannot be used, or where there is a clinical need for rapid iron supplementation. In 2023, Monofer® was included in the NRDL as a Category B reimbursable drug. Monofer® consists of nanoparticles with a stable, matrix-like structure composed of interchanging layers of iron atoms and short, linear isomaltose carbohydrates. This structure enables controlled iron release with low levels of labile iron, contributing to a favourable safety profile, including a low risk of hypersensitivity reactions and hypophosphatemia. Monofer® can be administered as a high-dose infusion of 1,000 mg or more in a single visit, whereas older therapies such as iron sucrose typically require repeated administrations of 100 to 200 mg. This enables full iron repletion in one treatment, reducing the need for multiple infusions, lowering the burden on patients and healthcare systems, and increasing infusion capacity. At the same time, the low risk of hypophosphatemia helps avoid complications such as fractures and supports recovery from fatigue, a key symptom of iron deficiency anaemia.More information about Cosmofer®Cosmofer® is a second-generation low-molecular-weight iron dextran injection. It was approved for marketing in Mainland China in 2003 and is indicated for patients with iron deficiency who cannot take oral iron preparations (such as those who are intolerant to oral iron or have unsatisfactory therapeutic outcomes). Cosmofer® also allows single-dose high-dose iron repletion. With many years of accumulated clinical use, its efficacy and safety have been supported by accumulated clinical experience and published data. Its dual status as a Category A NRDL-listed product and NEML supports its core role in iron supplementation in primary healthcare settings.About Iron Deficiency and Iron Deficiency AnemiaID and IDA are global health issues that commonly affect children, premenopausal women (particularly pregnant women) and the elderly. These conditions may impair the function of multiple organ systems, leading to a series of health problems such as growth retardation, behavioral disorders, cognitive impairment, reduced physical capacity, and peri-natal and peri-operative complications. They also significantly affect the prognosis of chronic diseases such as gastrointestinal diseases, chronic kidney disease, heart failure and tumors[2]. More than 1 billion people live with iron deficiency anaemia[3], making it one of the leading contributors to the global burden of disease[4]. Data from the Fourth National Nutrition Survey in China indicate that the prevalence of IDA among Chinese residents is 20.1%[5]. However, both patients and healthcare professionals have insufficient awareness of the disease. Less than 20% of patients with mild anemia receive diagnosis and treatment, while only about 50% of patients with severe anemia receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment[2]. This indicates significant underdiagnosis and undertreatment of ID/IDA. Iron supplementation is the standard treatment for ID/IDA and includes oral iron therapy and intravenous iron therapy. Intravenous iron therapy is an important option for patients who cannot tolerate oral iron, have inadequate response to oral therapy, require rapid iron repletion, or prefer full iron supplementation within one to two administrations[1,2,6]. However, due to insufficient awareness of IDA, patient adherence issues, hospitalization constraints, infusion convenience, and safety concerns regarding intravenous iron therapies, the clinical use of intravenous iron in China remains relatively conservative. A Chinese real-world study shows that the average total dose of iron sucrose used in IDA patients was approximately 511 mg, which was significantly lower than the target dose of 1,000 mg[2]. There is therefore a significant clinical need for intravenous iron therapies that offer high safety, strong demonstrated efficacy and single-dose full iron repletion. Monofer® and Cosmofer® together establish a comprehensive intravenous iron product portfolio covering multiple treatment scenarios, providing tiered treatment options for patients with iron deficiency anemia.About Pharmacosmos A/SPharmacosmos A/S is a global leader in carbohydrate chemistry and innovative treatments for iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia.

SINGAPORE, Apr 27, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Travelling overseas often feels exciting until unexpected charges appear on your card statement after returning home. Many travellers from Singapore rely on overseas credit cards for convenience, rewards, and security, but international transactions can sometimes include hidden costs that are easy to overlook. From currency conversion markups to foreign transaction fees, these charges can quietly increase overall travel expenses. Understanding how these charges work can help travellers manage spending better and make more informed payment choices while abroad.Below are practical ways that can help minimise hidden fees when using credit cards overseas while keeping travel spending smooth and predictable.Understand foreign transaction fees before travellingForeign transaction fees are among the commonly overlooked charges linked to overseas spending. Many cards issued in Singapore charge a fee of around 3.25% per foreign currency transaction, which may not seem significant at first glance. However, on a holiday budget of SGD 4,000, this fee alone can add SGD 130 to total expenses without obvious visibility during purchases.Reviewing the fee structure of an overseas card before travelling can help travellers estimate actual costs more accurately. Some cards offer reduced or promotional foreign transaction charges, which can help manage overall travel budgets more effectively. Knowing these details in advance may also help travellers decide when card payments make financial sense compared to alternative payment methods.Consider paying in local currency instead of SGDWhen paying overseas, merchants sometimes offer the option to charge the amount directly in Singapore dollars. This feature, known as Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), may appear convenient because it shows the final amount immediately. However, exchange rates used in DCC transactions often include markups, which can exceed standard bank conversion fees.Choosing to pay in the local currency allows the overseas card network to process the exchange instead. Card networks typically apply more competitive rates compared to merchant-set conversions. Over multiple transactions, such as dining, shopping, and transport, this can help reduce unnecessary markups.Check card currency conversion ratesExchange rates used by card issuers fluctuate daily and may differ slightly from rates seen on currency apps or news platforms. While the difference per transaction might appear minor, frequent purchases abroad can still affect total spending. For example, a 1% difference on SGD 2,500 worth of spending can translate into roughly SGD 25 in additional costs.Reviewing how an overseas card calculates exchange rates can provide better transparency. Some banks publish their rate calculation methods, allowing travellers to estimate expected charges more accurately.Avoid overseas ATM withdrawals when possibleWithdrawing cash abroad using a credit card can trigger multiple layers of fees simultaneously. These may include cash advance fees, overseas ATM operator charges, and immediate interest accrual starting from the withdrawal date. In Singapore, cash advance fees commonly range between 6% and 8% of the withdrawn amount, with minimum charges around SGD 15.Using an overseas card mainly for purchases rather than cash withdrawals can help reduce these compounded costs. Carrying a modest amount of exchanged currency from Singapore or using debit-based solutions for cash needs may help travellers avoid high-interest situations linked to credit card withdrawals overseas.Watch for hotel and car rental pre-authorisation chargesHotels and car rental companies frequently place temporary holds on credit cards as security deposits. These pre-authorisation amounts can be significant depending on location and booking type. Although not permanent charges, they temporarily reduce available credit limits and sometimes involve conversion adjustments once released.Understanding how pre-authorisation works can help travellers avoid confusion when reviewing statements. Using an overseas card with sufficient credit limits may reduce the likelihood of declined transactions during travel. Checking release timelines with merchants can also help travellers track when funds become available again after checkout.Choose a Travel Credit Card designed for overseas spendingNot all credit cards function the same way internationally. Some overseas card options available in Singapore include travel-focused features, such as lower foreign currency fees, travel rewards, or complimentary insurance coverage. These features can help offset certain costs associated with overseas spending when used strategically.Comparing card benefits based on travel frequency, spending habits, and destinations can help travellers identify options aligned with their lifestyle. A well-matched overseas card may also offer added value through rewards or travel-related privileges, making international spending more predictable overall.Final thoughtsFor Singapore travellers, using an overseas card thoughtfully, alongside awareness of currency conversion practices and transaction structures, can help make international payments more transparent. With a few informed habits, overseas spending can remain convenient while reducing the likelihood of unexpected costs appearing after the journey ends.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

NEW YORK, Apr 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - FastX today announces the official launch of its platform, a next-generation exchange built for professional and active traders who require institutional‑grade tools without surrendering custody or control of their assets. FastX goes live globally on 5 May, with traders able to access the platform directly at fastx.co.FastX combines deep on‑chain liquidity, multi‑asset perpetual futures markets, and an advanced copy-trading engine designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the decentralized digital asset ecosystem. By leveraging blockchain technology, the platform delivers low‑latency mirroring of trades across major decentralized networks worldwide—while keeping users in full control of their own wallets and risk."FastX was created by traders for traders," said Adelene, Chief Executive Officer of FastX. "We've spent our careers on Wall Street desks and in crypto markets, and we've seen the same problems repeat: opaque execution, misaligned incentives, and copytrading systems that ask users to blindly outsource decisions. FastX is our answer—a decentralised, transparent infrastructure layer where traders keep custody, and technology works to augment, not replace, their edge."Backed by a team of veteran traders with more than 50 years of combined experience across top Wall Street institutions and leading crypto trading firms, FastX is built from the ground up as a decentralised protocol. Users connect their own wallets, maintain self‑custody at all times, and interact with smart contracts that execute trades on‑chain, rather than relying on a centralised broker or custodial exchange.At launch, FastX will offer:Deep, on‑chain liquidity across a wide range of perpetual markets, designed to support serious position sizes with tight spreads and minimal slippage.A fast, intuitive trading interface accessible directly via fastx.co, allowing traders to plug in with their preferred wallet and start trading in minutes.A transparent affiliate and points system that shares a meaningful portion of platform fees with the community and rewards traders and partners who help grow liquidity and volume.The flagship feature of FastX is its next‑generation copytrading system. Unlike traditional social trading products that mirror orders on a single venue with unpredictable delays, FastX's engine is designed to route and synchronise copy trades across major decentralised exchanges, layering those capabilities on top of FastX's own liquidity.The result is a copytrading experience that aims to:Minimise latency between lead and follower execution.Mitigate structural risks such as slippage, desync, and obvious forms of manipulation.Exploit decentralised advantages, such as transparent on‑chain track records and programmable risk controls, without turning the platform into a centralised black box."Copytrading has always been typecast as a blind, autonomous disaster waiting to happen," Adelene added. "FastX takes the opposite stance. We use technology to bring more transparency, not less—on‑chain track records, built‑in risk parameters, and infrastructure that reduces front‑running and execution games wherever possible. Over time, our goal is to layer AI‑driven intelligence on top of this foundation so that users can benefit from advanced analytics and risk management, rather than just 'follow and hope'."FastX is currently seed‑funded by a network of angels deeply embedded in the global crypto trading ecosystem. These backers share a common view that the next generation of markets will be built on open, verifiable rails and that traders deserve better, more transparent instrumentation for expressing and managing risk. FastX is assembling a strong advisory board of experienced traders, market makers, and technologists to guide the exchange through its next phase of growth.As a decentralised protocol, FastX does not take custody of user funds and does not operate as a traditional broker. All positions, liquidations, and fee flows are visible on‑chain, giving traders clear, verifiable insight into how the system behaves under all market conditions."Our vision is simple," said Adelene. "We want professional‑grade perpetuals and intelligent copytrading to live where they belong: on transparent, decentralised infrastructure, not in a black box. Launching FastX on 5 May is the first step. From here, we'll continue to ship faster execution, smarter tooling, and AI‑enhanced copytrading that helps traders survive and thrive in 24/7 markets."Traders can learn more and access the exchange at https://fastx.co.About FastXFastX focuses on building decentralised financial infrastructure and tools for professional traders and sophisticated market participants.

SHENZHEN, Apr 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - China Medical System Holdings Limited (the “Group” or “CMS”) is pleased to announce that the New Drug Application (NDA) in China for the Seasonal Allergic Rhinitis (SAR) indication of MG-K10 (generic name: Comekibart Injection, “MG-K10” or the “Product”), a Class 1 innovative drug anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody injection, for which the Group holds co-development rights (excluding the indication of atopic dermatitis (AD)) and exclusive commercialization rights, was accepted by the National Medical Products Administration of China (NMPA) on 23 April 2026. The Product is proposed for the treatment of adult patients with moderate-to-severe seasonal allergic rhinitis whose symptoms remain inadequately controlled after treatment with intranasal corticosteroids.The acceptance of the NDA represents an important milestone for the Group’s ophthalmology business, CMS Vision, as it expands its therapeutic focus from ophthalmology into the field of otolaryngology (ENT). It also marks another significant milestone in the Group’s research and development progress in the field of type 2 inflammatory diseases. If the Product is successfully approved for marketing, the Group will leverage its strong academic promotion capabilities and extensive commercialization network to accelerate the commercialization of the Product. It is also expected to further enhance the academic brand influence of CMS Vision in the relevant specialty areas and provide new momentum for the Group’s business growth.BIC Potential: Dosing once every 4 weeks; Phase III study met the primary endpoint with a favorable safety profileMG-K10 is an innovative long-acting anti-IL-4Rα humanized monoclonal antibody that simultaneously blocks the signaling pathways of the key type 2 inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, thereby exerting immunomodulatory effects. It is being developed for the treatment of type 2 inflammatory diseases, including seasonal allergic rhinitis, asthma, atopic dermatitis (AD), prurigo nodularis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and eosinophilic esophagitis. Currently marketed anti-IL-4Rα therapies require administration once every two weeks. MG-K10, with its longer half-life, enabling a once-every-four-weeks dosing regimen. It therefore has the potential to become the first long-acting anti-IL-4Rα monoclonal antibody to be marketed globally, with the potential to be best-in-class. MG-K10 has met the primary endpoint in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III clinical trial in adult patients with moderate-to-severe seasonal allergic rhinitis. The results of the Phase III study demonstrated that the primary endpoint achieved statistical significance, with significantly superior efficacy compared with the placebo group, and a favorable safety profile.Focusing on Unmet Needs: ~250 million patients; 62% of moderate-to-severe patients remain inadequately controlled; long-acting breakthrough brings new treatment opportunitiesAllergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa mediated by IgE, with type 2 inflammation as the core pathogenic mechanism. It occurs in susceptible individuals upon exposure to environmental allergens such as pollen and dust mites. In recent years, the prevalence of the disease in China has increased from 11.1% to 17.6%, affecting approximately 250 million people[1], among whom 52.2% are patients with persistent moderate-to-severe disease[2]. The disease burden is significant and has become an important public health issue. Current standard treatments, including intranasal corticosteroids and antihistamines, have notable limitations. 62% of patients with moderate-to-severe disease remain inadequately controlled[3]. Long-term use of intranasal corticosteroids may lead to adverse reactions such as epistaxis[4], while antihistamines are often associated with side effects such as drowsiness[5], indicating significant unmet clinical needs. As a biologic therapy targeting IL-4Rα, MG-K10 can block the type 2 inflammatory pathway at its source. Compared with currently approved biologics targeting the same pathway (which require dosing once every two weeks), MG-K10 achieves a differentiated breakthrough in dosing frequency with its long-acting property allowing administration once every four weeks, thereby significantly extending dosing intervals. This may help improve patient treatment adherence and reduce the time and economic burden associated with frequent hospital visits. The Product has the potential to provide a new treatment option for patients with moderate-to-severe disease who respond poorly to conventional therapies, thereby reducing the individual and socio-economic burden associated with the disease.On 24 January 2025, the Group through subsidiaries of the Company entered into a Collaboration Agreement (“Agreement”) with Hunan Mabgeek Biotech Co., LTD and its subsidiary for MG-K10. In accordance with the Agreement and supplementary agreements, the Group has obtained the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in Mainland China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, Taiwan Region and Singapore; its subsidiary Dermavon Holdings Limited has obtained, through its subsidiary, the co-development rights (excluding AD) and exclusive commercialization rights for the Product in the field of dermatological indications in Mainland China.About CMSCMS is a platform company linking pharmaceutical innovation and commercialization with strong product lifecycle management capability, dedicated to providing competitive products and services to meet unmet medical needs.CMS focuses on the global first-in-class (FIC) and best-in-class (BIC) innovative products, and efficiently promotes the clinical research, development and commercialization of innovative products, enabling the continuous transformation of scientific research into clinical practices to benefit patients.CMS deeply engages in several specialty therapeutic fields, and has developed proven commercialization capabilities, extensive networks and expert resources, resulting in leading academic and market positions for its major marketed products.

The events also attracted quality buyers from global markets. This helps companies diversify supply chains, explore new markets, and underscores Hong Kong’s strength as an ‘International Exhibition Capital’ which boosts efficient business platforms. The fairs are the preferred platform for the industry to showcase innovation, connect with global buyer networks and accelerate business development.”Survey findings: Respondents were most optimistic about the India and Australia marketsTo keep abreast of the latest industry developments, the HKTDC conducted an on-site survey during the fairs, interviewing 450 exhibitors and buyers. The findings show that overall confidence among exhibitors and buyers in future business development has shown a general increase.Key market outlook and product trend findings:49.1% of respondents expect overall sales to increase in the next 12 to 24 months, while 47.6% expect sales to remain stable.Respondents consider India (73.4%), Australia (71%), ASEAN countries (70.4%), and Japan (68.1%) to be promising or very promising target sales markets for lighting products over the next two years in terms of growth.In terms of new market development, exhibitor respondents are actively exploring Middle East (31.8%), Europe (29.5%), ASEAN countries (23.9%), Latin America (17.6%) and North America (14.8%).In the smart lighting segment, respondents identified home automation and intelligent lighting control systems (48.2%), energy saving lighting control solutions (38.2%), and outdoor smart security lighting systems (31.1%) as having the greatest growth potential over the next two years.Compared with conventional lighting products, respondents indicated that consumers are willing to pay an average premium of 29% for lighting products equipped with smart functions.Scenario-based displays and new zones enhance sourcing effectiveness, with positive trade outcomesThe newly launched “Light Lab” features various scenario-based and immersive designs, integrating lighting products into landscape, sports, cultural and artistic application settings.

This has successfully attracted buyers from Argentina, Canada, Germany, India, Japan and the US to visit our booth for in-depth discussions. We expect this to result in orders worth over US$1 million.”The Smart Lighting Expo also debuted the “Smart Display and Stage Lighting & Sound Zone” which displayed a wide range of intelligent display solutions.

These inquiries came from new clients across key sectors such as cultural tourism and stage engineering. We have also successfully engaged in several promising collaboration discussions with potential clients from the Dominican Republic, Hong Kong and Thailand, further strengthening the company’s market expansion plan.

Sambath HK, Manager of RS Decoration from Cambodia, stated, “I travelled here specifically to source lighting products for 14 new commercial building and luxury residential projects. I have already met with over 20 new suppliers and identified two potential partners offering smart street lights, solar lights, and decorative lighting products. I will initially purchase US$100,000 worth of smart street lights.”Driven by the Belt and Road Initiative, urban development in participating countries and regions are in full swing, fuelling a continuous surge in demand for high-efficiency and smart lighting products. Aigerim Beisekina, Supply Manager of Karelz.kz from Kazakhstan, said: “This is our first time visiting the twin lighting fairs, to find reliable suppliers for a solar-powered stadium and sports lighting for three international schools currently under construction in Kazakhstan. Through the Click2Match business matching platform, we have identified three potential suppliers from the Chinese Mainland and plan to purchase lighting equipment valued between US$600,000 and US$900,000.”During the fairs, multiple professional events were held, including the Asian Lighting Conference and the Smart Lighting Solutions Forum.

Users connect their own wallets, maintain self‑custody at all times, and interact with smart contracts that execute trades on‑chain, rather than relying on a centralised broker or custodial exchange.At launch, FastX will offer:Deep, on‑chain liquidity across a wide range of perpetual markets, designed to support serious position sizes with tight spreads and minimal slippage.A fast, intuitive trading interface accessible directly via fastx.co, allowing traders to plug in with their preferred wallet and start trading in minutes.A transparent affiliate and points system that shares a meaningful portion of platform fees with the community and rewards traders and partners who help grow liquidity and volume.The flagship feature of FastX is its next‑generation copytrading system. Unlike traditional social trading products that mirror orders on a single venue with unpredictable delays, FastX's engine is designed to route and synchronise copy trades across major decentralised exchanges, layering those capabilities on top of FastX's own liquidity.The result is a copytrading experience that aims to:Minimise latency between lead and follower execution.Mitigate structural risks such as slippage, desync, and obvious forms of manipulation.Exploit decentralised advantages, such as transparent on‑chain track records and programmable risk controls, without turning the platform into a centralised black box."Copytrading has always been typecast as a blind, autonomous disaster waiting to happen," Adelene added. "FastX takes the opposite stance. We use technology to bring more transparency, not less—on‑chain track records, built‑in risk parameters, and infrastructure that reduces front‑running and execution games wherever possible. Over time, our goal is to layer AI‑driven intelligence on top of this foundation so that users can benefit from advanced analytics and risk management, rather than just 'follow and hope'."FastX is currently seed‑funded by a network of angels deeply embedded in the global crypto trading ecosystem. These backers share a common view that the next generation of markets will be built on open, verifiable rails and that traders deserve better, more transparent instrumentation for expressing and managing risk. FastX is assembling a strong advisory board of experienced traders, market makers, and technologists to guide the exchange through its next phase of growth.As a decentralised protocol, FastX does not take custody of user funds and does not operate as a traditional broker. All positions, liquidations, and fee flows are visible on‑chain, giving traders clear, verifiable insight into how the system behaves under all market conditions."Our vision is simple," said Adelene. "We want professional‑grade perpetuals and intelligent copytrading to live where they belong: on transparent, decentralised infrastructure, not in a black box. Launching FastX on 5 May is the first step. From here, we'll continue to ship faster execution, smarter tooling, and AI‑enhanced copytrading that helps traders survive and thrive in 24/7 markets."Traders can learn more and access the exchange at https://fastx.co.About FastXFastX focuses on building decentralised financial infrastructure and tools for professional traders and sophisticated market participants.

香港, 2026年4月23日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 全球ADC藥物市場正經歷爆發式增長，2024年市場規模突破250億美元，其中前五大商業化產品的年度銷售額均突破10億美元，Padcev更是以近26億美元的成績證明了靶向Nectin-4 ADC的廣闊前景。與此同時，中國創新藥企不再滿足於本土市場，紛紛將目光投向海外。在這一輪出海浪潮中，邁威生物憑藉差異化的管線設計、積極的對外授權策略以及新興市場的商業化落地，逐步展現出清晰的全球化路徑。邁威生物成立於2017年，是一家具備從藥物發現到商業化銷售全產業鏈能力的中國創新製藥公司。公司已於2022年1月在上海證券交易所科創板上市（股票代碼：688062），此次赴港上市旨在構建「A+H」雙融資平臺，進一步打開國際資本通道，為海外商業化創造更便利的條件。核心產品獲FDA多項認定，國內外臨床試驗啟動截至目前，邁威生物擁有4款已上市產品及10款候選藥物，覆蓋腫瘤、免疫、骨科、眼科等領域。其中，核心產品9MW2821（靶向Nectin-4 ADC）在多個適應症上展現出全球領先的臨床開發進度。在尿路上皮癌領域，該產品是在中國開發的同類靶點ADC中進展最快的，全球範圍內僅次於已上市的Padcev；其聯合特瑞普利單抗的一線療法III期試驗正在推進中，有望於2027年提交新藥上市申請（NDA）。在宮頸癌領域，9MW2821更是全球首款進入關鍵III期試驗階段的靶向Nectin-4 ADC，該III期臨床試驗已於2024年9月啟動，預計2027年完成。針對三陰性乳腺癌，9MW2821精准聚焦拓撲異構酶抑制劑ADC經治後的耐藥患者這一差異化賽道，已在中國開展II期試驗，並於2025年8月在美國啟動I期研究，計畫後續開展全球多中心II期或III期臨床試驗。目前，9MW2821已累計獲得美國FDA授予的多項快速通道認定及孤兒藥資格認定，並獲中國國家藥監局授予兩項突破性療法認定，充分驗證了其全球同類最佳的潛力。除核心產品9MW2821外，邁威生物的ADC管線儲備同樣頗具看點。靶向B7-H3的7MW3711已在國內獲批聯合特瑞普利單抗及JS207等療法的Ib/II期研究，並獲FDA授予小細胞肺癌孤兒藥資格，初步臨床資料在肺癌、食管癌等實體瘤中顯示出良好安全性與抗腫瘤活性。另一款靶向CDH17的7MW4911則在中美雙軌並行，國內I期與美國I/II期臨床同步推進，精准聚焦高發消化道腫瘤。兩款產品的快速推進不僅豐富了公司ADC產品矩陣，更凸顯了其在差異化靶點佈局與全球臨床開發上的創新執行力。超20億美元對外授權，驗證管線全球價值通過對外授權將早期管線的價值變現，同時加速已上市產品的商業化放量，邁威生物已形成清晰的商業閉環。2025年，公司總收入達到6.59億元人民幣，同比增長230.0%。其中對外授權收入4.09億元，收入占比62%。主要授權合作包括：授予齊魯製藥在大中華區獨家開發及商業化邁粒生®（長效G-CSF）的權利，獲得首付款及里程碑付款；授予Disc在除大中華區及東南亞以外的全球範圍內獨家許可9MW3011（抗TMPRSS6單抗）的權利，潛在里程碑金額最高達4.125億美元，並已達成II期試驗里程碑；授予Calico在除大中華區以外的全球獨家開發及商業化9MW3811（靶向IL-11單抗）的權利，潛在里程碑金額最高近6億美元；授予Kalexo Bio在全球範圍獨家開發、生產和商業化雙靶點siRNA候選藥物的權利，潛在里程碑金額最高可達10億美元，此外公司還有權獲得其雙位數A輪優先股股權。上述合作總潛在里程碑金額超過20億美元，不僅為公司帶來了即期現金流入，也證明了其創新管線的國際競爭力。通過精准選擇深耕細分領域的合作夥伴並實施對外授權，公司已將創新管線的價值推向全球舞臺；與此同時，依託自主研發夯實長期創新根基，邁威生物在早期價值變現與持續研發投入之間建立起良性迴圈，實現了全球化佈局與內生增長的雙重驅動，構建起可持續的創新發展範式。生物類似藥持續落地，商業化網路持續擴張在產品出海方面，邁威生物以生物類似藥作為切入新興市場的突破口。2025年8月，邁利舒®及邁衛健®在巴基斯坦獲批上市，成為巴基斯坦首個獲批的Prolia®及Xgeva®生物類似藥。此外，公司已與巴西、秘魯、沙特阿拉伯、菲律賓等多個國家的領先製藥公司簽訂合作協定，推動產品在當地的註冊與商業化。2025年12月，君邁康®（阿達木單抗生物類似藥）也在印尼獲批上市，並已與16個國家訂立海外合作協定。同時，公司自主研發的長效G-CSF邁粒生®於2025年5月獲批上市，是首個全球上市的採用白蛋白長效融合技術開發的G-CSF藥物，公司已將其在大中華區的獨家開發及商業化權利授予齊魯製藥。依託齊魯製藥在腫瘤領域成熟的銷售網路和強大的商業化能力，邁粒生®有望快速切入龐大的G-CSF市場，有效解決該領域大量未得到滿足的醫療需求，在競爭激烈的市場中佔據一席之地。這些海外上市進展表明，邁威生物不僅具備研發能力，更擁有將產品推向國際市場的註冊與商業化執行力。對於新興市場而言，高品質且具成本優勢的生物類似藥存在巨大未滿足需求，邁威生物的提前佈局有望在未來數年持續貢獻收入增量。為支撐海外商業化佈局，邁威生物始終堅持以國際標準構建品質體系。公司位於江蘇泰州的生產基地嚴格符合中國GMP標準及歐盟EMA GMP標準，而正在建設的上海金山大規模商業化生產基地同樣遵循歐盟EMA GMP標準設計。此外，公司的地舒單抗生產線已零缺陷通過哥倫比亞INVIMA的現場審計。基於此，邁衛健®（地舒單抗，120mg）和邁利舒®（地舒單抗，60mg）已成功實現海外商業化發貨。接軌國際的品質管制體系不僅為產品在新興市場的註冊與商業化奠定了堅實基礎，也確保了公司在全球供應鏈中的合規性與競爭力。結語邁威生物已構建起涵蓋差異化ADC管線、對外授權落地、生物類似藥海外上市及國際品質體系認證的全球化佈局，實現了自主研發、對外授權與海外商業化的協同驅動。此次赴港上市不僅是其資本戰略的關鍵一步，更將為其打開國際資本通道，加速海外臨床研究、全球註冊申報以及商業化網路拓展。在港股生物醫藥板塊估值處於歷史低位的當下，公司用扎實的管線與商業化成果，向國際投資者展示了中國創新藥的務實路徑。具備真正全球化能力的ADC新貴，值得長期關注。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Apr 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sinch Mailgun, part of Sinch, has released its Email Impact Report 2026, introducing new industry benchmarks across 10 high-volume sending sectors and revealing a gap between email performance and execution.Based on insights from more than 400 billion emails sent in 2025 and a global survey of over 1,200 email senders, the report shows that while email remains a critical, high-performing channel, poor deliverability is leaving significant revenue on the table. Nearly 18% of emails fail to reach the inbox, putting up to a fifth of potential return on investment at risk for many organisations.78% of respondents say email is critical to business success. At the same time, the research highlights a growing disconnect between performance and execution, driven by gaps in measurement, deliverability practices and AI application.“APAC businesses rely heavily on email to drive sales, loyalty and customer experience but many are not set up to capture its full value,” said Ginger Kidd, Vice President Marketing & Communications APAC at Sinch. “What we see in this data reflects what’s happening locally: brands are investing in email and seeing strong returns, yet there is still a high number of messages that never reach inboxes. For instance, in a market as competitive and cost-conscious as Australia, marketers simply can’t afford for emails to get lost in inboxes. When budgets are under pressure, fixing deliverability is one of the fastest ways to unlock more value from the spend they already have.”AI adoption is widespread, but its impact remains uneven. Many teams focus on basic use cases such as content generation, while higher-impact applications such as optimisation, segmentation and deliverability remain underutilised. Organisations that use AI more effectively are significantly more likely to report improved email performance.Ginger Kidd said: "Across the diverse markets of APAC, we’re seeing a common theme: marketers are enthusiastically adopting AI, but the initial focus has primarily been on content creation. The true opportunity now lies in leveraging AI for smarter decision-making. For instance, who to send to, how often, and with what level of risk. This strategic shift is the key to ensuring every campaign improves performance, not just adds volume.“The most sophisticated teams are already using AI to predict which subscribers are at risk of disengaging, to fine-tune send times and to protect sender reputation. That’s where we’re seeing a real uplift in performance, not just faster content production.”Key findings of the report include:60% of companies measuring email ROI report returns above $10 for every $1 spentMore than 1 in 10 achieve returns as high as 40:146% say AI improves speed and efficiency41% of teams use AI to generate email content23% say AI has not improved their email programs49% report improved email performance year-over-year79% plan to maintain or increase investment in emailFewer than half of organisations can confidently measure email ROIAbout the reportThe Email Impact Report 2026 combines:Data from 400+ billion emails sent in 2025Insights from 1,200+ email senders globallyBenchmarks across 10 high-volume industriesRead more about the report here.About SinchSinch’s vision is to connect every business with every customer, everywhere in the world.

賓夕法尼亞州費城, 2026年4月22日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.（「Datavault AI」或「本公司」） （納斯達克代碼：DVLT），作為人工智慧驅動的數據變現、憑證認證、數位互動及實物資產（「RWA」）代幣化技術的領導者，今日宣布獲得美國專利第12,596,819號，並收到另外兩項美國專利申請的准予通知。此里程碑直接延續了本公司於2025年12月獲頒兩項關於區塊鏈驅動內容授權及代幣化變現的基礎專利，進一步擴展了其強大的智慧財產權組合，其中以定義業界標準的碳信用額度代幣化專利為首。投資者重點摘要一項新頒發的專利及兩份准予通知，將保護範圍延伸至三大高價值平台：AI驗證的數據估值與變現、代幣化虛擬地點融資，以及數位資產與去中心化金融（DeFi）的自動化報稅準備——直接解決1099-DA合規挑戰。透過量子抗性加密與區塊鏈不可篡改性，強化了公司的 Sumerian® 加密錨點、DataValue®、DataScore® 及 Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) 技術，為日益增長的代幣化合約與授權交易管道奠定基礎。此舉正值首個完整的 IRS 1099-DA 報稅季結束之際，期間據報出現諸多營運障礙——包括 Coinbase、Kraken 及 Gemini 的資料遲交問題——這充分顯示市場對 Datavault AI 自動化、代幣化稅務解決方案的明確需求。已實現的應用場景包括代幣化大宗商品（銅、黃金、貴金屬）、農業/基因組/醫療保健數據資產、NIL 數位孿生、資金支持的虛擬生物科技市場，以及智慧稅務自動化——這些功能皆能原生整合至該公司的邊緣 GPU 機隊與 HPC 基礎設施。此技術直接支持 Datavault AI 2026 年至少 2 億美元的營收目標，加速金融科技、醫療保健、生物科技、能源、農業、體育娛樂及 Web3 領域的商業化進程，並開拓新的授權與合作機會。最新專利保護範圍美國專利第 12,596,819 號 - 「數據估值與安全商業化變現平台的方法與系統」（已核准）：涵蓋端到端的許可制平台，包含自願參與的數據貢獻、AI驅動的自動化估值、在Datavault®中的區塊鏈代幣化儲存，以及透過開放式交易所進行交易並具備靈活的補償途徑（銷售、授權、獎勵、慈善捐贈）。美國專利申請號 17/842,220 - 「虛擬地點資金籌措系統與方法」（准予通知）：保護特定組織虛擬地點的資金籌措、驗證及代幣化運作，包括多幣種捐款、整合式活動與資產代幣化、與投資組合對應的廣告，以及針對資料貢獻者的補償機制。美國專利申請號 17/507,459 - 「報稅表製作平台與方法」（准予通知）：涵蓋針對客戶與員工的自動化報稅表製作，包含針對數位資產及 DeFi 活動的專用代幣化報稅處理、後端表單處理，以及對不斷演變稅法條文的動態調整——精準解決困擾首個 1099-DA 報稅季的對帳負擔與透明度缺口。市場背景與利多因素這些專利申請使 Datavault AI 處於三個快速擴張市場的交匯點。代幣化實體資產的鏈上價值已突破 300 億美元（RWA.xyz 2025 年數據），波士頓諮詢集團（BCG）與 ADDX 預測全球市場規模將於 2030 年前超過 16 兆美元。全球數據貨幣化市場預計將從 2024 年的 75.3 億美元成長至 2033 年的 188 億美元（年複合成長率 10.7%，SkyQuest Technology）。這項新的報稅專利問世之際，正值美國納稅人面臨國稅局（IRS）1099-DA表數位資產經紀商申報制度實施後的首個完整報稅季——其中總收入申報自2025年1月1日開始，特定交易的成本基礎申報則於2026年1月1日生效——而業界針對經紀商遲報以及跨錢包/鏈/DeFi對帳等問題的摩擦，早已廣為人知。對投資者的影響與戰略展望總體而言，已獲頒的專利及獲准的申請案，擴大了智慧財產權的涵蓋範圍，涵蓋將原始資料轉化為代幣化、可交易資產的創新技術，並能實現虛擬環境與數位資產組合的透明化資金籌措、變現及自動化稅務處理。預期這些技術將與 Datavault AI 計劃中的邊緣 GPU 機群及高效能運算基礎設施無縫整合，從而加速 AI 估值處理與代幣化合約的執行。「取得這項已核發專利，並收到另外兩項申請的准予通知，證實了我們在將無形數據轉化為可驗證、可變現資本方面的領導地位，以及在協助組織以完全透明且包含用戶補償的方式為虛擬世界提供資金與營運方面的優勢，」Datavault AI 創辦人暨執行長納撒尼爾·T·布拉德利（Nathaniel T. Bradley）表示。「這些專利申請深化了我們的競爭護城河，並加速了我們在數據資產、實體資產及數位資產稅務申報市場中搶佔重要市佔率的進程——這將直接推動我們達成 2026 年 2 億美元的營收目標，並擴展代幣化合約的業務管道。」若欲進一步了解 Datavault AI 的成長策略、商業化路線圖，以及透過代幣化與授權釋放數據及智慧財產權價值的長期願景，建議投資人觀看近期由 Tech Edge 主持、納斯達克（Nasdaq）對執行長納撒尼爾·布拉德利（Nathaniel Bradley）的專訪，該影片現已上線：https://vimeo.com/1176174810  關於 Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™（納斯達克代碼：DVLT）是 Web 3.0 環境中以人工智慧驅動的數據體驗、資產估值及變現領域的先驅。該公司基於雲端的平台透過其聲學科學與數據科學兩個部門，提供全面的解決方案。Datavault AI 的聲學科學部門擁有 WiSA®、ADIO® 及 Sumerian® 等專利技術，專注於空間與多聲道無線高解析度聲音傳輸。數據科學部門則運用 Web 3.0 及高效能運算技術，為體育娛樂、生物科技、教育、金融科技、房地產、醫療保健、能源等各產業提供體驗式數據感知、估值及安全變現服務。Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) 是一項由納斯達克金融基礎設施（Nasdaq Financial Infrastructure）驅動的代幣交易技術。本公司擁有並營運多項交易所，包括國際元素交易所（IEE）、運動畫刊交易所（SIx）、紐約互動廣告交易所（NYIAX）及美國政治交易所（APE）。本公司總部位於賓夕法尼亞州費城。更多資訊請瀏覽 https://www.dvlt.ai 。前瞻性陳述：本新聞稿包含《1933年證券法》（經修訂）第27A條、《1934年證券交易法》（經修訂）第21E條，以及《1995年私人證券訴訟改革法》所定義之「前瞻性陳述」。本新聞稿中除歷史事實陳述以外的所有陳述，包括關於本公司未來營運、財務狀況、前景、計畫、目標、預期及意圖之陳述，均屬前瞻性陳述。諸如「預期」、「相信」、 「可能」、「估計」、「預期」、「意圖」、「或」、「計劃」、「潛在」、「預測」、「預估」、「應」、「目標」、「將」、「會」等詞彙及類似表述，旨在識別前瞻性陳述，儘管並非所有前瞻性陳述均包含此類識別詞彙。本新聞稿中的前瞻性陳述包括但不限於以下內容：(i) 美國專利申請號 17/842,220、美國專利申請號 17/507,459 及任何相關外國或延續申請的最終核發、範圍、有效性及可執行性； (ii) 本公司已獲專利及專利申請中技術的商業價值、市場採用情況及營收貢獻，包括 DataValue®、DataScore®、Information Data Exchange® (IDE®)、Sumerian® Crypto Anchors 以及 Datavault® 平台； (iii) 本公司能否達成 2026 年至少 2 億美元的營收目標；(iv) 本公司代幣化合約、授權協議及戰略合作夥伴關係的進展； (v) 實體資產代幣化、數據變現及數位資產稅務申報市場的規模、成長與時機；(vi) 本公司預期部署的邊緣 GPU 機隊與高效能運算基礎設施之整合與表現；以及 (vii) 因應美國國稅局 1099-DA 表格申報要求所衍生的自動化稅務申報解決方案需求。這些前瞻性陳述係基於管理層當前的預期與假設，並受重大風險、不確定性及其他因素影響，可能導致實際結果與所表達或暗示者存在重大差異。此類風險包括但不限於：美國專利商標局在重新審查時頒發的專利範圍較原核准範圍更窄，或駁回已核准的專利主張；本公司專利及專利申請中技術的商業化進程延遲或失敗；本公司吸引及留住客戶、被授權人及交易所合作夥伴的能力；來自現有及新興技術的競爭； 網路安全、區塊鏈協議及量子運算風險；影響數位資產申報的美國聯邦及州稅法變更，包括對 1099-DA 表格制度的修改；影響數位資產、證券、資料隱私及代幣化實體資產的監管發展； 本公司能否以可接受的條款籌集額外資金；宏觀經濟及資本市場狀況；以及本公司截至 2025 年 12 月 31 日止財政年度之 10-K 表年度報告、後續 10-Q 表季度報告、 以及向美國證券交易委員會（「SEC」）提交的其他文件中討論之「風險因素」章節所載之其他風險因素，該等文件的副本可於 SEC 網站 www.sec.gov 免費取得。除適用法律要求外，本公司無義務且明確聲明不承擔任何責任，無論基於新資訊、未來事件、情況變更或其他原因，均不對任何前瞻性陳述進行更新或修訂。投資者及證券持有人應注意，切勿過度依賴此等前瞻性陳述，該等陳述僅反映本新聞稿發布當日的狀況。本公司不保證將實現其預期目標。本新聞稿不構成出售任何證券之要約，亦不構成購買任何證券之要約邀請。任何關於潛在收購、處分、合資企業、戰略聯盟、授權交易或類似安排之前瞻性陳述，均須待最終協議之協商、簽署及完成，並須滿足慣常之交割條件；且無法保證任何此類交易將按預期條款、預期時間完成，或能否完成。產業與市場數據：本新聞稿包含產業、市場及競爭地位數據，包括統計數據、預測及推算，該等數據係基於或源自獨立產業出版物、第三方研究、調查及報告，其中包含歸因於 RWA.xyz、波士頓諮詢集團（Boston Consulting Group）、ADDX、SkyQuest Technology 及美國國稅局（U.S. Internal Revenue Service）之數據。本公司並未獨立核實任何此類第三方資訊的準確性或完整性，且不就其可靠性作出任何明示或暗示的陳述或保證。此類行業出版物及預測本質上受制於假設、方法論限制及不確定性，基於該等數據所作的推算、估計及判斷可能無法被證實為準確。實際市場規模、增長率以及本公司在這些市場中的地位，可能與本文所述數據存在重大差異。商標、商號、服務標誌及著作權：Datavault AI™、DataValue®、DataScore®、Information Data Exchange®、IDE®、Datavault®、WiSA®、ADIO® 及 Sumerian® 均為 Datavault AI Inc. 於美國及／或其他司法管轄區的商標、服務標誌或註冊商標。本新聞稿亦提及其他公司所擁有的商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權，包括 Coinbase、Kraken、Gemini 及 Nasdaq 所擁有的相關標識。僅為方便起見，本新聞稿中提及的某些商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權可能未標示 ™、®、© 或 SM 符號，但本公司將在適用法律允許的最大範圍內，主張其對自身商標、服務標誌、商號及著作權的權利。使用或展示其他方的商標、服務標誌、商號或著作權，並非意在亦不暗示本公司與任何該等第三方存在關係，或獲得其背書或贊助。媒體聯絡人：marketing@dvlt.ai 投資人聯絡：Edward Barger投資人關係副總裁ebarger@dvlt.ai | ir@dvlt.ai 消息來源：Datavault AI Inc Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a leader in AI-driven data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, today announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 and Notices of Allowance on two additional U.S. patent applications. This milestone builds directly on the Company's December 2025 issuance of two foundational patents for blockchain-driven content licensing and tokenized monetization - further expanding its robust intellectual property portfolio headlined by the industry-defining Carbon Credit Tokenization Patent.Key Highlights for InvestorsOne newly issued patent and two Notices of Allowance extend protection across three high-value platforms: AI-validated data valuation & monetization, tokenized virtual location funding, and automated tax return preparation for digital assets and DeFi-directly addressing 1099-DA compliance challenges.Reinforces the Company's Sumerian® Crypto Anchors, DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) technologies with quantum-resistant encryption and blockchain immutability, underpinning a growing pipeline of tokenization contracts and licensing deals.Arrives as the first full IRS Form 1099-DA filing season closes amid reported operational hurdles-including late deliveries by Coinbase, Kraken, and Gemini-demonstrating clear demand for Datavault AI's automated, tokenized tax solutions.Enabled use cases include tokenized commodities (copper, gold, precious metals), agricultural/genomic/healthcare data assets, NIL digital twins, funded virtual biotech marketplaces, and intelligent tax automation-integrating natively with the Company's edge GPU fleet and HPC infrastructure.Directly supports Datavault AI's 2026 revenue target of at least $200 million, accelerates commercialization across fintech, healthcare, biotech, energy, agriculture, sports & entertainment, and Web3, and opens new licensing and partnership opportunities.Scope of the Latest ProtectionsU.S. Patent No. 12,596,819 - "Method and System for Data Valuation and Secure Commercial Monetization Platform" (issued): Covers an end-to-end permissioned platform spanning opt-in data contribution, AI-driven automated valuation, blockchain-tokenized storage in the Datavault®, and trading on open exchanges with flexible compensation pathways (sales, licenses, rewards, charitable contributions).U.S. Patent Application No. 17/842,220 - "System and Method for Funding a Virtual Location" (Notice of Allowance): Protects the funding, authentication, and tokenized operation of organization-specific virtual locations, including multi-currency donations, integrated event and asset tokenization, portfolio-aligned advertising, and compensation mechanisms for data contributors.U.S. Patent Application No. 17/507,459 - "Platform and Method for Preparing a Tax Return" (Notice of Allowance): Covers automated tax return preparation for clients and employees, with specialized tokenized return handling for digital asset and DeFi activity, back-end form processing, and dynamic adjustment to evolving tax codes-precisely targeting the reconciliation burdens and visibility gaps plaguing the inaugural 1099-DA season.Market Context & TailwindsThe filings position Datavault AI at the convergence of three rapidly expanding markets. Tokenized real-world assets have already surpassed $30 billion in on-chain value (RWA.xyz 2025 data), with Boston Consulting Group and ADDX projecting the global market to exceed $16 trillion by 2030. The global data monetization market is forecast to grow from $7.53 billion in 2024 to $18.8 billion by 2033 (10.7% CAGR, SkyQuest Technology). The new tax-preparation patent arrives precisely as U.S. taxpayers navigate the first full season under the IRS Form 1099-DA digital asset broker reporting regime-where gross proceeds reporting began January 1, 2025, and basis reporting for certain transactions took effect January 1, 2026-amid well-documented industry friction around late broker filings and cross-wallet/chain/DeFi reconciliation.Investor Implications & Strategic OutlookCollectively, the issued patents and allowed applications extend IP coverage around innovations that transform raw data into tokenized, tradable assets and enable transparent funding, monetization, and automated tax handling of virtual environments and digital asset portfolios. These technologies are expected to integrate seamlessly with Datavault AI's anticipated edge GPU fleet and high-performance computing infrastructure, accelerating AI valuation processing and tokenization contract execution."Securing this issued patent and receiving Notices of Allowance on two additional applications validates our leadership in turning intangible data into verifiable, monetizable capital, and in enabling organizations to fund and operate virtual worlds with full transparency and user compensation," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Datavault AI. "These filings deepen our competitive moat and accelerate our path to capturing meaningful share in the data asset, real-world asset, and digital asset tax-preparation markets-directly fueling our $200 million 2026 revenue target and expanding pipeline of tokenization contracts."For additional insight into Datavault AI's growth strategy, commercialization roadmap, and long-term vision for unlocking value from data and intellectual property through tokenization and licensing, investors are encouraged to view the recent Nasdaq interview with CEO Nathaniel Bradley, hosted by Tech Edge and now available at https://vimeo.com/1176174810About Datavault AI Inc.Datavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.
