While TMX Group believes these measures provide investors with greater transparency and supplemental data relating to the transaction, readers are cautioned that these non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to measures determined in accordance with GAAP and should not, on their own, be construed as indicators of TMX Group's or Cboe Canada and Cboe Australia's future performance or profitability. Readers should not rely on any single financial measure when evaluating TMX Group's business or that of Cboe Canada and Cboe Australia. We use non-GAAP measures and non-GAAP ratios that do not have standardized meanings prescribed by GAAP and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management uses these measures, and excludes certain items, because it believes doing so provides investors a more effective analysis of underlying operating and financial performance, including, in some cases, our ability to generate cash and our ability to repay debt. Management also uses these measures to more effectively measure performance over time, and excluding these items increases comparability across periods. The exclusion of certain items does not imply that they are non-recurring or not useful to investors.Adjusted earnings per share provided above is a non-GAAP ratio and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. TMX Group presents Adjusted EPS and excludes, among other things, acquisition, integration, and related items; amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions; strategic re-alignment expenses; dispute, litigation and related items; and other items as disclosed in TMX Group's 2025 Annual Report.

HONG KONG, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Apr 20, Everest Medicines announced that the first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial data of EVM16, a proprietary personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, were presented at the 2026 American Association for Cancer Research  Annual Meeting (AACR 2026). The data include results from EVM16 as  a monotherapy and in combination with the PD-1 inhibitor tislelizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The results demonstrated that EVM16 has a favorable safety and tolerability profile, robust immunogenicity, and promising preliminary efficacy in patients with advanced solid tumors, supporting its further clinical development.The clinical trial (EVM16CX01, NCT06541639) was conducted jointly by Peking University Cancer Hospital and Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, with the first patient dosed in March 2025. EVM16CX01 is a first-in-human (FIH), dose-escalation, and expansion study evaluating the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of EVM16 injection as a monotherapy and in combination with tislelizumab in patients with advanced solid tumors. The study follows a 3+3 dose-escalation design across three dose levels (0.1 mg, 0.3 mg, and 1.0 mg). Eligible patients are those with advanced or recurrent solid tumors who have failed standard of care and have at least one measurable target lesion. Patients receive 2 doses of EVM16 monotherapy once every two weeks, followed by combination therapy of EVM16 and tislelizumab. As of December 7, 2025, a total of 9 patients had been enrolled.No dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) were observed. All patients experienced at least one investigational product (IP) related adverse event (AE), all of which were Grade ≤ 2 and resolved spontaneously. EVM16 elicited strong neoantigen-specific T cell responses in 8 of 9 patients, which showed a dose-dependent trend. A gastroesophageal junction cancer patient who failed 3 prior lines of systemic therapy achieved a confirmed partial response and a PFS of 126 days. Another 2 patients achieved stable disease. A non-small cell lung cancer patient who failed 3 prior lines of systemic therapy achieved a PFS of 88 days, and an esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patient who failed 3 prior lines of systemic therapy has been followed up for 112 days to date and has not experienced disease progression.“As a novel personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, EVM16 has demonstrated encouraging clinical development potential in its first-in-human clinical trial,” said Professor Shen Lin, Director of the Gastrointestinal Oncology Department at Beijing Cancer Hospital and Chair of the Gastric Cancer Expert Committee of the Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology. “The data show a favorable safety and tolerability profile in patients with advanced solid tumors, with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed. Importantly, EVM16 stimulated neoantigen-specific T cell responses with a dose-dependent trend, highlighting its consistent immune activation capability. Preliminary anti-tumor activity signals, including partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD), were observed in patients who had failed multiple lines of standard-of-care therapies, suggesting potential clinical activity. These findings provide early clinical validation of EVM16 and reinforce its differentiated mechanism as a personalized mRNA cancer vaccine. While immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors, have transformed the treatment landscape in selected tumor types, most patients, particularly those with heavily pretreated advanced solid tumors, still represent a significant unmet medical need. Personalized mRNA cancer vaccines represented by EVM16 may help expand the population benefiting from immunotherapy and provide additional treatment options.” “The favorable safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy results for EVM16 provide initial evidence of its therapeutic potential and support the clinical value of our in-house mRNA platform,” said Mr. Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines. “Patients with advanced solid tumors, particularly those who have failed multiple lines of therapy, continue to suffer from limited treatment options. As our first in-house developed personalized mRNA cancer vaccine, EVM16 demonstrates the ability to induce immune activation and generate neoantigen-specific T cell responses, which may help reduce the risk of tumor metastasis or recurrence. This further underscores its potential as a novel approach in cancer immunotherapy. This project is powered by EVER-NEO-1, Everest’s proprietary AI-based neoantigen prediction algorithm. It analyzes patient-specific tumor mutations to identify highly immunogenic neoantigens and support the design of personalized mRNA vaccine candidates. The algorithm incorporates iterative learning capabilities designed to continuously improve neoantigen prediction accuracy and selection efficiency. Leveraging our leading mRNA platform, we will continue to advance the clinical development of EVM16 and bring this innovative therapy to more patients.”Everest Medicines has localized its clinically validated proprietary AI+mRNA platform, establishing an end-to-end integrated platform spanning antigen design, mRNA sequence optimization, lipid nanoparticles (LNP) targeted delivery and scalable manufacturing, with the potential to address significant unmet medical needs globally.EVM16 is a novel personalized therapeutic mRNA cancer vaccine in-house developed by Everest. It contains neoantigens with high immunogenicity potential, predicted based on the unique tumor mutations of each patient using Everest’s proprietary AI-based neoantigen prediction algorithm, EVER-NEO-1. The vaccine is designed to encode dozens of tumor neoantigens. The vaccine uses a lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery system to efficiently deliver neoantigen-encoded mRNA in vivo, activating neoantigen-specific tumor-killing T cells and inhibiting tumor growth.From an investment and market perspective, personalized cancer vaccines are in an early stage of breakthrough. According to Grand View Research, the global personalized cancer vaccine market is projected to reach $1.45 billion by 2030, with a staggering compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44.86% from 2025 to 2030. Myguide Securities points out that mRNA cancer vaccines have the potential to achieve pan-cancer coverage while offering the advantages of high accessibility, “off-the-shelf” availability, and personalization. As a highly promising new form of immunotherapy, it can enter clinical use as adjuvant therapies through extensive combinations, gradually unlocking a market space worth tens of billions of dollars.Against this backdrop, Everest Medicines is accelerating its strategic positioning in this field, progressively building a research and development pipeline with global competitiveness. Leveraging its proprietary AI+mRNA platform and its leading clinical position in China, Everest Medicines is currently at a critical juncture for industrialization and valuation growth. The upcoming readout of first-in-human (FIH) clinical trial data for EVM16 is expected to further release clinical and commercial potential, continuing to attract focus from the market and investors, and helping the company achieve a significant leap in value within the immunotherapy sector.

SUNNYVALE, CA, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graid Technology, the pioneer in GPU-accelerated NVMe storage, today announced its Agentic AI Storage Portfolio: a purpose-built family of KV cache solutions designed to eliminate the storage bottleneck that stalls "always-on" production AI. The portfolio spans three deployment tiers: KV Cache Server, KV Cache Rack, and KV Cache Platform, all built on SupremeRAID™ technology. KV Cache Platform, the portfolio's highest tier, is purpose-aligned to NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution on the roadmap for H2 2026.As agentic AI moves from experimentation to production, the infrastructure assumptions that underpinned single-shot inference have broken down. Models running continuous multi-step tasks and maintaining context across hours of operation generate KV cache demands that overwhelm GPU HBM. The result: latency spikes up to 18x, GPU utilization as low as 50%, and model-level failures, including hallucinations and reasoning degradation, that are difficult to detect and costly to recover from.SupremeRAID™ addresses this directly, aggregating up to 32 NVMe drives into a single 280 GB/s virtual pool, bypassing the CPU via GPU Direct Storage, and delivering KV cache reads at 1.3ms- 77x faster than standard NVMe. The three portfolio tiers bring this capability to every deployment scale:KV Cache Server - single-node NVMe acceleration for individual inference servers and edge AI deployments. Available now.KV Cache Rack - rack-scale, partner-validated solutions co-engineered with leading server OEM partners for enterprise multi-GPU clusters. Available now.KV Cache Platform - Purpose-built for NVIDIA's STX reference architecture, with native BlueField-4 DPU execution and rack-scale storage expansion on the roadmap."A year ago, at GTC 2025, Jensen Huang predicted that storage would become GPU-accelerated for the first time. This year, NVIDIA turned that concept into an architecture with STX and CMX," said Leander Yu, CEO of Graid Technology. "Our KV Cache Portfolio is built for precisely this moment, delivering the storage performance that agentic AI demands, at storage-tier economics."For enterprises and infrastructure teams evaluating agentic AI deployments, the full deployment architecture, technical specifications, and NVIDIA STX compatibility details are available in the solution brief: Graid Technology Agentic AI Storage Portfolio: Purpose-built KV Cache Solutions for Inference at Scale.To learn more about Graid Technology's AI offerings, visit graidtech.com/ai.Media Inquiries:Andrea Eaken, Sr. Director of Marketing, Americas & EMEAandrea.eaken@graidtech.comAbout Graid TechnologyGraid Technology is building the storage backbone for the future of AI, enterprise, and high-performance computing.

TSUKUBA, Japan, Apr 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Discovering and characterizing new materials is important for unlocking advances in fields like clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and improved infrastructure. Researchers use machine learning and other computational tools to help them, but the trial-and-error nature of the process creates specific challenges. The research produces large amounts of experimental and computational data, and scientists need tools that can track and store not only the results but also the chain of reasoning behind them.A newly developed system tracks and stores not only the results but also the chain of reasoning behind them, allowing researchers to review the decision making process for a greater transparency and reproducibility in materials science research.A new system called pinax, published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods, provides precisely those features. Developed by engineers at Japan’s National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS), pinax captures the entire process of developing new materials, including machine learning workflows and decision-making processes. “By formalizing both successful and unsuccessful trial-and-error processes, pinax enhances reproducibility, accountability, and knowledge sharing while maintaining strict data governance,” says Satoshi Minamoto of NIMS, the study’s lead author.The new pinax system consists of three layers: the core machine learning infrastructure (bottom), the provenance recording and tracking that visualises the reasoning behind final results (middle), and the advanced feature layer for materials development (top). Credit: STAM-MMachine learning models are playing an ever-larger role in materials discovery and characterization. While the models are powerful tools, the reasoning processes they use are generally opaque. Researchers don’t know what considerations and trial-and-error processes went into their final predictions. “The system introduced in this study visualizes these invisible processes. This enables others to review, verify, and build upon the path to the conclusions,” says Minamoto.Minamoto highlights the importance of such access in applications where safety, reproducibility, and accountability are important, saying that this work “demonstrates how transparent AI systems can transform scientific discovery into a more reliable, efficient, and socially responsible endeavor.”The team tested pinax using two case studies: one on predicting steel properties and another using transfer learning to predict the thermal conductivity of polymers. The system made it possible to link the model’s performance predictions to the specific data or model aspects that influenced them, and to reproduce complex, multi-stage workflows. “In particular, the transfer-learning example highlights pinax’s ability to track how information flows between intertwined datasets and models, making every step in the reasoning process explicitly traceable,” says Minamoto.The engineers plan to expand pinax towards an autonomous, closed-loop materials discovery system. By integrating pinax’s tracking capabilities with automated experimental and simulation systems, they aim to create a loop that can use data generation, machine learning models, and decision-making systems to systematically and independently carry out the entire research cycle.Further information Satoshi MinamotoNational Institute for Materials Scienceminamoto.satoshi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/27660400.2026.2629051 About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials: Methods (STAM-M)STAM Methods is an open access sister journal of Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM), and focuses on emergent methods and tools for improving and/or accelerating materials developments, such as methodology, apparatus, instrumentation, modeling, high-through put data collection, materials/process informatics, databases, and programming. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM-MDr Kazuya SaitoSTAM Methods Publishing Director SAITO.Kazuya@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, Apr 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BlackBerry Secure Communications, a division of BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today released The State of Secure Communications 2026, a survey of 700 security decision-makers across government and critical infrastructure in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Singapore. The findings reveal a widening gap between confidence in communications security and the reality of risk exposure - with significant national security implications. Among the most striking findings: 83% of security leaders report that WhatsApp is being used for sensitive discussions inside their organizations.The Sovereignty ParadoxOwnership and control of the infrastructure behind sensitive communications is emerging as a critical blind spot, exposing gaps in data sovereignty. While 55% prioritize sovereign control, virtually all (98%) rely on foreign-hosted platforms not built for confidential communications or high-security environments. Meanwhile, 52% are concerned telecom networks could be monitored or disrupted - a tangible risk already demonstrated by espionage campaigns targeting network operators, such as Salt Typhoon and more recently, UNC3886 in Singapore."Consumer messaging apps were never designed to handle sensitive communications, protect confidentiality, or meet the demands of high-security environments," said Christine Gadsby, Chief Security Advisor, BlackBerry Secure Communications. "They rely on phone numbers, not verified identities - and encryption protects the channel, not who is on it. That gap is already being exploited, as recent intelligence warnings show, and governments and critical infrastructure organizations are responding by moving toward communications infrastructure they own and trust."Confidence Built on MisunderstandingThese findings come as intelligence agencies in the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe issue fresh advisories about state-backed espionage attacks targeting Signal and WhatsApp accounts of public officials and journalists. This highlights how the threat surface is shifting from networks to consumer messaging platforms now embedded in daily critical operations.Yet 88% of security leaders surveyed expressed confidence in their current messaging app security. That confidence is built on a fundamental misread of what these platforms actually protect, significantly increasing risk exposure. The report reveals critical gaps in encryption literacy among the very leaders responsible for safeguarding communications:52% mistakenly believe encryption protects metadata - including location data, IP addresses, and communication patterns47% believe it prevents impersonation, deepfake, or spoofing attacks41% assume communications remain secure, even after a device has been compromisedThis gap between perception and reality is now playing out in real-world incidents, with governments increasing restrictions and warnings about the use of consumer apps for sensitive communications, recognizing that encryption alone does not address the full risk.The Risks of Improvised Crisis ResponseThese gaps become most visible when organizations are under pressure. While 90% say they are confident in managing major incidents, fewer than half (49%) have a unified platform to coordinate response.In practice, the survey shows many rely on a patchwork of everyday tools - from group chats (54%) and email threads (51%) to shared spreadsheets (29%) and phone trees (19%). Familiar as they are, these tools were never designed for crisis coordination, and cannot deliver the real-time visibility, command and control or secure cross-agency communication that major incidents demand.Limits of "Good Enough" SecurityOverall, the findings point to a consistent pattern: security leaders across government and critical infrastructure are relying on communications platforms not designed for the security, sovereignty or crisis demands they now face. The issue is not encryption alone, but architecture. Many consumer platforms generate and retain metadata, operate under foreign data-access laws, and lack the controls required for high-value or classified communications.As threats evolve, from account compromise to large-scale surveillance, what may appear "secure enough" can quickly become a costly attack surface. The question is no longer whether these platforms are being exploited. It is whether the organizations relying on them recognize the risk.To learn how BlackBerry Secure Communications is protecting governments and critical infrastructure worldwide with interception-resistant, government-grade secure voice and messaging, visit BlackBerry.com/SecureCommunications.Survey MethodologyThe State of Secure Communications 2026 was conducted by OnePoll on behalf of BlackBerry.

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to advise that GMG's patent for GMG's Graphene Engine Oil Additive, G® LUBRICANT, has now been granted for 20 years in the USA and allowed in China. This is in addition to the previously announced G® LUBRICANT patent accepted for the European region. There are various other countries around the world where this patent application is progressing as well, which are shown in Figure 1.Figure 1: World Map of G® LUBRICANT Patent ProgressTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/293352_gmg_figure1.jpgAbout G® LUBRICANT: G® LUBRICANT is what management believes to be a transformative graphene liquid concentrate additive designed to enhance the performance of diesel and gasoline (petrol) engines. This product has the potential to reshape the future of the global liquid fuels industry and offers an innovative solution that optimizes efficiency and power for stationary or mobile engines. G® LUBRICANT, a graphene liquid concentrate that can be added to any mineral or synthetic oil used in an internal combustion engine in a 1:100 dosage, has been verified by the University of Queensland to increase fuel efficiency by up to 8.4% in a diesel engine as announced in February 2025. [1]The amount of graphene in the final engine oil once G® LUBRICANT is mixed in is only ~ 1:10,000. As a result, G® LUBRICANT can be used safely in any internal combustion engine. Over the past four years, GMG has conducted environmentally controlled testing of G® LUBRICANT in internal combustion engines monitored and verified by The University of Queensland. GMG's test results have been corroborated by similar savings realized by customers over a number of years of field testing.US$ 1.4 Trillion Global Diesel IndustryWhilst G® LUBRICANT can be used to reduce fuel consumption in both diesel and gasoline/petrol engines GMG intends to focus on the diesel market initially, which is largely B2B focused, and therefore, more targeted as far as fuel cost savings and performance. GMG calculates, prior to the recent increase in diesel prices, that global diesel fuel sales totaled US$1.4 Trillion per annum[2] including taxes and duties on approximately 28 million barrels of diesel per day as detailed by the US Energy Information Administration2. Figure 3 shows the top 34 countries in the world with diesel fuel sales greater than US$10 Billion per annum.Figure 2: Total Diesel Fuel Sales in 2025 US$ BillionTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/293352_gmg_figure2.jpgEstimated US$ 1.2 Billion Per Annum Global Diesel Market For G® LUBRICANT Assuming an average fuel savings of 8.4%, GMG believes that a conservative estimate of the potential market for G® LUBRICANT is 10% of the fuel savings realized by users annually. Assuming G® LUBRICANT pricing equal to 10% of the savings realized, GMG estimates that the potential global revenue for G® LUBRICANT is US$ 1.2 Billion sales per annum based on 2025 actual sales. Figure 3 shows GMG's estimates of potential annual sales of G® LUBRICANT by country.Figure 3: Total G® LUBRICANT Sales Opportunity based off 2025 Total Diesel Fuel SalesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/293352_gmg_figure3.jpgCraig Nicol, CEO & Managing Director of the Company, commented "This is great progress to secure the valuable graphene lubricant patent for engine oil use in the major markets of Europe, China and the USA."Jack Perkowski, Chairman and Non-Executive Director of the Company, commented: "Congratulations to the team on progressing further with building their competitive position in securing patents in the most valuable markets for G® LUBRICANT".About GMG:GMG is an Australian based clean-technology company which develops, makes and sells energy saving and energy storage solutions, enabled by graphene manufactured via in house production process. GMG uses its own proprietary production process to decompose natural gas (i.e. methane) into its natural elements, carbon (as graphene), hydrogen and some residual hydrocarbon gases. This process produces high quality, low cost, scalable, 'tuneable' and low/no contaminant graphene suitable for use in clean-technology and other applications.The Company's present focus is to de-risk and develop commercial scale-up capabilities, and secure market applications. In the energy savings segment, GMG has initially focused on graphene enhanced heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC-R") coating (or energy-saving coating) which is now being marketed into other applications including electronic heat sinks, industrial process plants and data centres.

香港, 2026年4月21日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 作為中國企業"走出去"的核心橋頭堡，東南亞市場長期憑借地緣優勢、產業配套潛力與靈活的稅收優惠政策，成為中國企業出海投資、產能布局、數字化拓展的首選目的地。但隨著全球稅收監管體系的全面升級，東南亞市場的稅收環境已發生根本性變化，稅務合規成為中企出海東南亞必須跨越的核心門檻。此次百望股份發布的2026版東南亞稅務合規白皮書，正是針對這一行業痛點，為出海企業提供了覆蓋政策解讀、風險防控、體系搭建的全鏈條解決方案，為中國跨國企業布局東南亞市場提供了權威、系統、可落地的全維度稅務合規指引，也為中企應對全球稅收規則重構、實現高質量全球化發展提供了核心參考。BEPS 2.0全區域落地 東南亞"稅收窪地"格局迎來根本性重構白皮書核心內容明確指出，隨著OECD主導的BEPS 2.0（稅基侵蝕與利潤轉移2.0方案）第二支柱規則在亞太地區的全面落地，15%的全球最低企業有效稅率（ETR）已成為跨國企業無法規避的硬性監管紅線，東南亞市場延續多年的"稅收窪地"紅利正在加速消退。 據白皮書援引Mayer Brown《2024/2025冬季亞洲稅務公報》權威數據顯示，東南亞及亞太區域BEPS 2.0規則落地已進入全面加速期：日本、韓國、越南已於2024年率先完成BEPS 2.0第二支柱規則的落地實施，新加坡、馬來西亞、印尼等東南亞核心投資目的地，也在2025年相繼完成規則落地與政策配套，2026年起該規則將在東南亞全區域持續擴展，實現監管體系的全覆蓋。百望股份在白皮書中強調，15%全球最低有效稅率的硬性約束，從根本上改變了東南亞各國的外資稅收政策邏輯，也徹底重構了跨國企業的全球稅務架構設計底層邏輯。過往中國出海企業普遍依賴的區域稅收減免、低稅率園區等稅負優化方式，將面臨全球最低稅率規則的直接約束——跨國企業無論在東南亞哪個國家開展經營，其全球合並計算的有效稅率均不得低於15%的底線，否則將面臨相關轄區的補充征稅。這一變化，對中國企業東南亞投資的稅務規劃、利潤分配、跨區域核算能力，都提出了前所未有的合規要求。數字化監管全面提速 東南亞稅務合規進入數智化管控新時代除了全球稅改規則帶來的底層格局變化，白皮書重點聚焦了東南亞各國稅務監管的數字化轉型浪潮，明確指出全流程、實時化的數字化監管，已成為中企出海東南亞必須應對的核心合規命題。白皮書系統整合了東南亞各國最新的數字化稅收監管政策，其中包括馬來西亞內陸稅收局（IRBM）2026年發布的4.6版電子發票（e-Invoice）指南及專項規範、越南政府與財政部2025年出臺的第70/2025/ND-CP號法令及32/2025/TT-BTC號通知等核心監管文件，全面拆解了東南亞區域電子發票強制落地、涉稅數據實時報送、全流程數字化稽查的最新合規要求。白皮書結合OECD《2026年稅務管理數字化轉型報告》、世界海關組織（WCO）2025年相關監管研究成果指出，東南亞各國稅務監管正快速從傳統的"事後審計"模式，向"事前校驗、事中管控、全程追溯"的數字化清關式監管轉型。對於中國出海企業而言，傳統的人工化、分散化的跨境稅務管理模式，已無法適配多司法管轄區的數字化監管要求，智能化、自動化的合規管理體系，已成為企業東南亞出海的核心必備能力。同時，白皮書還納入了全球前沿的財稅合規技術研究成果，包括ACL 2025收錄的《多轄區網絡中實時財務合規的自主數據代理》相關研究，為企業通過數智化技術破解跨區域合規難題、實現全流程稅務風險管控，提供了可落地的技術路徑與實踐參考。錨定出海合規痛點 百望Tax-Swift為中企提供全鏈條合規解決方案針對中國企業東南亞出海過程中高頻出現的轉讓定價估值錯配、跨境利潤分配合規性、涉稅信息法定報送、多轄區政策適配等核心風險點，百望股份此次發布的白皮書給出了全維度的風險防控指引與解決方案。白皮書全面整合了OECD、普華永道（PWC）、德勤（Deloitte）、麥肯錫等全球權威機構的最新研究成果，同時系統梳理了中國財政部、國家稅務總局、商務部2025年發布的《關於外國投資者境內取得利潤直接投資稅收免稅問題的公告》、國家稅務總局《關於優化企業所得稅預繳申報有關事項的公告》等國內配套支持政策，既全面覆蓋了東南亞東道國的最新監管要求，也為企業用好國內出海稅收支持政策提供了清晰指引，實現了跨境稅務合規的雙向覆蓋。百望研究院在白皮書中強調，在數字化出海的下半場，稅務合規早已不是企業經營的後端成本項，而是決定企業全球化發展上限的核心競爭力。中國跨國企業唯有將數據合規視為核心生產力的一部分，在擁抱全球規則中實現合規體系的底層重構，才能在充滿不確定性的全球市場中行穩致遠。在目前的出海財稅合規賽道中，百望Tax-Swift所展現出的全球化能力矩陣，已成為中國企業構建這一藍圖的標杆選型。其核心依托的Agent 智能體矩陣實現了多維度的業財賦能:百望股份長期深耕跨國企業跨境財稅合規領域，依托自主研發的智能財稅數字化平臺，為中國出海企業提供覆蓋多轄區合規管理、智能發票管理、全球稅務核算、風險實時管控的全鏈條解決方案。此次《中國企業東南亞市場稅務合規白皮書（2026）》的發布，是百望股份助力中企全球化發展的又一重要實踐，未來也將持續依托百望研究院的專業研究能力，為中國企業出海提供更前沿、更專業的合規指引與技術支持，助力中國企業在全球市場中實現高質量、可持續的發展。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 3rd Smart Lighting Expo and the 17th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition) open today and will run for four consecutive days from 20 to 23 April at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) in Wan Chai. Under the theme “Go Smart, Live Green”, the twin lighting fairs introduce a number of new zones this year, including the debut of “Light Lab”, which focuses on lighting solutions that combine innovation and sustainability, unveiling the latest lighting trends for 2026.Jenny Koo, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year’s twin lighting fairs bring together some 900 exhibitors, including new exhibitors from the Netherlands and Vietnam. A number of industry leaders are participating, including Absen, whose LED displays were in use at the World Cup and World Expos, and has been ranked first nationally in LED display exports for 16 consecutive years, and Shanghai Sansi, which supplies over 60% of the screens in Times Square, New York. Overall, our exhibitor lineup is strong. As one of the key events of Business of Innovation and Technology Week (BIT Week), the Smart Lighting Expo focuses on cutting edge lighting technologies and applications. This year, the newly launched Smart Commercial Display & Stage Audio-Visual Zone features lighting products and equipment related to cultural tourism and performing arts. As top-tier trade events for lighting products and technologies, the twin lighting fairs not only help promote Hong Kong as an international innovation and technology hub but also support the development of the megaevent economy by fostering cross industry exchange and collaboration.”According to Statista, the global smart lighting market is expected to reach US$44 billion by 2030. An analysis released by the International Energy Agency in March said that a second wave of LED transformation is imminent. In regions including Africa, Latin America and the Asia Pacific (excluding India and Chinese Mainland), LED penetration remains relatively low. In the residential sector alone, around 30% of lighting fixtures worldwide have yet to be upgraded, creating opportunities for high efficiency LED technologies. At the same time, early generation LED products, which account for nearly 15% of global residential lighting fixtures and have an average lifespan of 10 to 15 years, are gradually reaching the end of their service life, creating opportunities for high efficiency and more intelligent lighting systems.Against the backdrop of surging demand for high efficiency and intelligent lighting, this year’s fairs curate multiple highlights that bring advanced lighting technologies into real world application scenarios. The newly introduced “Light Lab” in Hall 3 features three scenario-based designs that present a range of products in an immersive manner, allowing visitors to experience their characteristics in different settings. The Lumin Garden displays garden lighting, smart lamp posts and solar luminaires. Shanghai Sansi LED Lighting presents plant lighting fixtures that use proprietary independent ceramic technology, delivering heat dissipation efficiency superior to metal structures. Combined with precise spectral control and professional optical systems, the solution meets the needs of plants at different growth stages.The Lumin Arena showcases professional grade lighting performance with stadium lights and high bay lights. Foshan Electrical and Lighting, which provides lighting for the China National Youth Football Training Centre, presents its new overseas sports lighting product, the F Series stadium lights, manufactured using full aluminium forging technology. Under the same illuminance level, the lights are 20% to 45% lighter than traditional fixtures and use high thermal conductivity 1060 pure aluminium, effectively reducing LED chip operating temperatures. With a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours, maintenance requirements are significantly reduced. The Lumin Gallery focuses on high-end museum lighting, displaying modular track lights and spotlights that highlight the integration of precise light control and aesthetics. Guangdong ThinkGis presents ultralow glare spotlights that emphasise glare control, reducing eye stimulation through specialised optical design and enhancing operational comfort and safety.As for the group pavilion, the twin lighting fairs receive strong support from Zhongshan City, as a Special Partner City this year, bringing the Zhongshan Guzhen Pavilion and Zhongshan Henglan Pavilion to form the Zhongshan Smart Home Zone, showcasing competitive lighting manufacturing capabilities and innovative solutions. The Shanghai Pudong Intelligent Lighting Association participates in the Smart Lighting Expo for the third consecutive year, setting up the Smart Ecosystem and IoT Supply Chain Area, together with brands including BWEETECH, AIDimming, Darkoo and TYF, presenting the latest developments in smart lighting and IoT solutions. In addition, pavilion from Shenzhen also participate, while the Spring Lighting Fair brings together pavilion from Xiamen, as well as new pavilions from Changzhou Zouqu and Zhejiang, further expanding industry exchange.Four major lighting trends move forward in parallel, showing new directions in smart, low carbon, immersive and human centric lightingAs artificial intelligence technologies continue to mature, lighting products are no longer limited to basic illumination functions. Instead, they integrate design, aesthetics, health, personalised experiences and sustainability, and even become an important part of urban and social infrastructure.

(GA-ASI) has conducted a series of flight tests aimed at certifying the MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA) for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI). The flight tests began last year, and all planned testing was successfully completed in early April from GA-ASI's Flight Test & Training Center (FTTC) near Grand Forks, North Dakota, using a company-owned MQ-9B.The FIKI flights build on earlier successful flight tests to evaluate flight characteristics with simulated ice shapes adhered to the aircraft as well as the aircraft's successful Cold Weather Validation and flights in the Arctic. FIKI certification will expand MQ-9B's abilities to provide all-weather surveillance capabilities for the many nations that have purchased the system for their military and civil support missions.The tests were flown using GA-ASI Internal Research and Development funding."We've approached these flight tests with great rigor," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "GA-ASI became the first RPA developer to receive a Military Type Certificate for MQ-9B (RAF Protector) last year, and now we're taking steps toward certifying the platform for FIKI. It's taking the resolve of GA-ASI to get this done for our user base."GA-ASI customers are looking for MQ-9B to operate in a full range of environmental conditions, from very hot to very cold, as well as icy conditions. One such customer is the Government of Canada, which has ordered 11 MQ-9B SkyGuardians®. The Canadian Directorate of Technical Airworthiness and Engineering Support, Canada's national military certification authority, was on site for portions of the flight test period and will use artifacts from the flights to certify MQ-9B to operate in FIKI conditions.The MQ-9B SkyGuardian and its maritime variant, SeaGuardian®, are multi-mission, multi-domain RPA that can operate in cold weather conditions. MQ-9B aircraft are being flown by the United Kingdom's Royal Air Force, Belgian Defence, and the Japan Coast Guard. In addition to Canada, MQ-9B has been selected by Denmark, Poland, Germany, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also been featured in various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Henry Tang said today at the inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium organised by The Legion d’Honneur Club that rising geopolitical tensions and protectionism reinforce the need to build a community with a shared future for mankind—a call made by the Chinese Mainland in which Hong Kong has an important role to play.The Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter). The Legion d’Honneur is the highest and most prestigious civilian and military honour of France, instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 and conferred by the President of France to recognise outstanding service or acts of bravery.The inaugural Asia-Pacific Symposium, titled Regional Exchange and Institutional Cohesion, was held today. Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government, Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur, and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, officiated at the event. In addition, Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, shared with participants, including representatives from Australia, France, the Philippines, and Thailand, the development of Hong Kong as an international financial centre. (Photo 1, 2 & 3)In the welcome remarks, Henry Tang said that Hong Kong’s strength lies in international exchange and cooperation. Hong Kong has long been a staunch advocate of multilateralism as well as open and free economy. The city’s legal and financial infrastructure aligns with international standards. Under the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”, Hong Kong stands as an international financial centre and a global hub for business and culture, championing diversity, openness, and inclusion.He added that Hong Kong’s future brings vast opportunities. The National 15th Five-Year Plan clearly mandates that Hong Kong maintains its status as an international financial centre while developing an East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchange and an international I&T hub. Strategically located at the southeastern tip of China and serving as a pivotal gateway between China and the rest of the world, Hong Kong will certainly benefit from the development of our motherland.The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to deepen cooperation with its French counterparts—especially the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong & Macau—to pursue joint efforts in education, science, and culture, said Henry Tang, to enrich public life.He concluded that the true legacy of the Legion d’Honneur is not the medals they wear, but the trust they build. The Hong Kong Chapter will continue to serve as a dynamic global stage where that trust is translated into tangible action and meaningful impact.20 April 2026Photo 1: (From left to right) Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter); Admiral Alain Coldefy, President of the Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur; Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government; Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter), and Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau.Photo 2: The Legion d’Honneur Club holds its first Asia-Pacific Symposium today, attended by Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (second right); Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government (fourth right); Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau (first right); Gerard Millet, Vice president of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter) (first left); Councillors of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter): David Li (third right); Michael Kadoorie (third left), and Christopher Cheng (second left).Photo 3: (From left to right) Christopher Hui, Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury of the HKSAR Government, and Henry Tang, President of the Legion d’Honneur Club (the Hong Kong Chapter).About The Legion d’Honneur ClubThe Legion d’Honneur Club is the Hong Kong chapter of The Society of Members of the Legion d’Honneur (the Hong Kong Chapter). It was established in 2002. The Club fosters connections and creates opportunities for cross-cultural exchange, promoting French culture, language, and the arts between the HKSAR of China and France.

HONG KONG, Apr 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At a private investment summit, Janet Yellen, former U.S. Treasury Secretary and former Chair of the Federal Reserve, noted that the outlook for U.S. interest rate policy remains uncertain. However, citing the current weakness in the labour market, she estimated that if a judgement were to be made today, there is a chance the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates once within this year. Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade, one of Asia’s leading family offices, added that the recent oil price shock has intensified global inflationary pressures. The ripple effects are spreading across the aviation, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture, and consumer sectors, leaving both businesses and households facing higher costs and greater volatility. Under these circumstances, while interest rate cuts are not impossible, the room for easing is limited.Against this backdrop, most Asian family offices remain pragmatic and cautious. At this stage, the focus is on increasing cash holdings and allocating to high quality fixed-income products to maintain ample liquidity, while closely monitoring policy and market signals and avoiding excessive leverage. Meanwhile, the U.S. fiscal deficit continues to surge, with the size of debt approaching US$40 trillion, or approximately 120% of the country’s GDP. Large fiscal deficits combined with political pressure to maintain low tax rates suggest that market structures and policy directions may undergo repeated adjustments.Over the next six to 12 months, investors may consider making reference to Berkshire Hathaway’s approach of increasing cash holdings to a higher level, as well as raising allocations to strategic and defensive assets with stable returns, notably the recent acquisitions of stakes in Chubb, United Healthcare Group and Tokio Marine. In the brief exchange with Dr. Yellen, Mr. Tam felt that diversifying risk was indeed an important point. Under the current global landscape, a viable strategy in the short term may be to remain vigilant and patiently await clearer signals from the Federal Reserve.Photo caption: Mr. Dennis Tam, President and CEO of Black Spade (right) and Dr. Janet Yellen, former US Treasury Secretary and former Chair of the Federal ReserveAbout Black Spade Capital Limited Black Spade Capital Limited is an established family office that manages the private investments of Mr. Lawrence Ho.

香港, 2026年4月20日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在一場私人投資峰會上，美國前財長及聯儲局前主席耶倫（Janet Yellen）指出，美國利率政策前景仍然存在變數，惟當前就業市場仍然疲弱，假如要在目前作出判斷，她估計今年內聯儲局有機會減息一次。作為為亞洲領先家族辦公室之一的黑桃資本總裁兼首席執行官譚志偉先生（Dennis Tam）補充，近期國際油價急升令全球通脹壓力加劇。連鎖影響延伸至航空、製造、物流、農業與消費等行業，企業與家庭面臨更高成本與波動；在此情況下，雖不排除減息，但空間有限。在這樣的背景下，多數亞洲家族辦公室一向務實審慎；現階段著重提高現金比重與配置高質素固定收益產品，以維持充足流動性，並繼續密切留意政策與市場訊號、避免過度槓桿。同時，美國財赤持續擴大、國債規模接近40萬億美元，佔GDP約120%；龐大的財政赤字與維持低稅率的政治壓力並存，意味著市場結構與政策取向或將反覆調整。在未來6至12個月，投資者可以考慮參考巴郡增加現金持倉至較高水平的策略，並提升配置具戰略性、防禦性強與收益穩定的資產，正如近期巴郡增持Chubb、United Healthcare Group 和 Tokio Marine等公司股份 。在與耶倫的短暫交流中，譚先生感覺到分散風險（diversify）確實是個重點。在目前的環球局勢下，短期穩守並耐心等待聯準局釋出更明確信號亦不失為一個可取的策略。圖片說明： 黑桃資本總裁兼首席執行官譚志偉先生（右）及前美國財政部部長及美國聯邦儲備局主席耶倫博士有關黑桃資本有限公司黑桃資本有限公司乃何猷龍先生的家族辦公室，負責管理何先生的私人資產及財富項目。總部設於香港，公司的全球投資組合包涵廣泛的跨境投資項目，而公司亦致力發掘新的投資機遇。黑桃資本的投資策略旨在廣泛覆蓋地理區域及行業，同時保持多元化資產類別，投資組合包括股票、債券、房地產、醫療科技、文化產業、綠色能源和上市前投資的項目。2023 年 8 月，黑桃資本發起的空白支票公司 (SPAC) Black Spade Acquisition Co 與VinFast Auto Ltd 完成了 230 億美元的業務合併。黑桃資本發起的第二家SPAC Black Spade Acquisition II Co在上市後約9 個月後的2025 年 6 月成功與全球領先媒體及娛樂巨頭The Generation Essentials Group 完成業務合併。黑桃資本的第三家SPAC Black Spade Acquisition III Co於在2026 年 1 月上市。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
