			<description>span style font size 14pt The Chinese biotechnology company submitted regulatory paperwork seeking approval for trastuzumab pamirtecan treating HER2 positive tumors span</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>SHANGHAI, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- DualityBio ("DualityBio" or the "Company", Stock Code: 9606.HK) today announced that the Biologics License Application (BLA) for the investigational antibody-drug conjugate ("ADC") trastuzumab pamirtecan ("T-Pam", also known as DB-1303 or BNT323), has been accepted for review by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). With the BLA filing, DualityBio is seeking approval for trastuzumab pamirtecan as second-line treatment for patients with unresectable or metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. The application is based on positive interim results from the pivotal Phase III clinical trial (Study DB-1303-O-3001).</p>    <p>The DB-1303-O-3001 trial is a randomized, controlled, open-label, multicenter Phase III clinical trial conducted in China. It aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of trastuzumab pamirtecan compared to trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) in patients with HER2-positive unresectable or metastatic breast cancer who have previously received trastuzumab and taxane chemotherapy. As assessed by the Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC), the trial has met its primary endpoint of statistically significant improvement of progression-free survival (PFS, assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review, BICR) for trastuzumab pamirtecan compared to T-DM1 at a pre-specified interim analysis.</p>    <p>Dr. Hua Mu, Global Chief Medical Officer of DualityBio, stated: "China has over 350,000 new breast cancer cases annually [1], representing a high incidence rate and ranking as the second most common cancer among Chinese women. We are delighted to see that DB-1303/T-Pam has achieved a milestone in its commercialization progress, demonstrating its potential to provide an effective new treatment option for breast cancer patients. In the China market, we have entered into a collaboration with 3SBio to jointly advance the commercialization of multiple indications of DB-1303/T-Pam in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Macao. Globally, we will continue to deepen our global strategic partnership with BioNTech to further drive the global development of this product. DB-1303/T-Pam is a globally co-developed new drug with strong strategic partners in both China and global markets. We will work closely together to accelerate the product's marketing approval process, maximize its global clinical value, present more treatment options to patients worldwide."</p>    <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" class="prnbcc">  	<tbody>  		<tr>  			<td class="prnpr2 prnpl2 prnsbtb1 prnrbrb1 prnsbbb1 prnsblb1" colspan="1" rowspan="1">  			<p class="prnml4"><span class="prnews_span">[1]Global Cancer，2022</span></p>  			</td>  		</tr>  	</tbody>  </table>    <p>For more information, please visit www.dualitybiologics.com</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="legendSpanClass">MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS</span>, <span class="legendSpanClass">April 10, 2026</span> /PRNewswire/ -- Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, "Telix") today announces that the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the Company's resubmitted New Drug Application (NDA) for TLX101-Px<sup>[1]</sup>, (Pixclara®<sup>[2]</sup>, Floretyrosine F 18 or <sup>18</sup>F-FET), an investigational PET<sup>[3]</sup> agent for the imaging of glioma (brain cancer), and has assigned a PDUFA<sup>[4]</sup> goal date of September 11, 2026.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">The approval of TLX101-Px will fulfil a significant unmet medical need for the characterization of recurrent or progressive glioma from treatment related changes in both adult and pediatric patients<sup>[5]</sup>. Neuroimaging of glioma with <sup>18</sup>F-FET is already broadly recommended in international clinical practice guidelines – including NCCN Guidelines®<sup>[6]</sup> – and TLX101-Px has been granted Orphan Drug<sup>[7]</sup> and Fast Track<sup>[8]</sup> designations by the FDA.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">"There remains a critical unmet need in improving our ability to image residual glioma after treatment," said Thomas Hope, MD, Vice Chair, Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). "We have worked with Telix for the last three years to help leverage our clinical data to help make FET-PET<sup>[9]</sup> available to patients in the United States."</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Patrick Wen, MD, E. Antonio Chiocca, MD, PhD, Family Endowed Chair in Neuro-Oncology at Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, added, "Distinguishing tumor progression from treatment-related change remains one of the most challenging aspects of glioma care. PET imaging with <sup>18</sup>F-FET is an important tool in clinical practice worldwide, and the FDA's acceptance of this application is a meaningful step toward broader access for patients and clinicians in the United States."</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Kevin Richardson, CEO, Telix Precision Medicine, added, "The FDA's acceptance of our NDA resubmission is an important milestone for Telix. We appreciate the FDA's constructive engagement and look forward to working closely with the Agency to urgently obtain approval and then bring this product to market for the benefit of patients."</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Telix's FY 2026 financial guidance does not include any revenue contribution from TLX101-Px.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>Global insolvencies to rise 3 in 2026 Atradius forecasts</title>
			<description>span style font size 14pt The credit insurance provider predicted continued elevation in corporate bankruptcies worldwide as economic pressures persist through the year span</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>AMSTERDAM, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Atradius forecasts a further rise in insolvencies in 2026, as adverse conditions continue to weigh on companies, affecting operating margins across multiple sectors. The latest Atradius Insolvency Outlook shows that worldwide insolvencies are expected to increase by 3% in 2026.</p>    <p>According to Atradius Senior Economist Theo Smid, "Our insolvency forecast has deteriorated due to the persistence of adverse economic conditions, including Covid‑related tax debts, rising input costs and ongoing trade tensions. The crisis in the Middle East, together with the associated increase in energy prices, adds to existing pressures. The impact on businesses will depend largely on the length of the conflict."</p>    <p>Atradius' baseline scenario assumes that the current closure of the Strait of Hormuz will begin to normalise from May, with only limited damage to Gulf infrastructure. If the disruption lasts longer, the insolvency projections would need to be revised.</p>    <p>Looking further ahead, the outlook improves in 2027, when insolvencies are projected to decline by 6% as inflation recedes, energy markets normalise and central banks regain room to reduce rates.</p>    <p>Regional outlook</p>    <p>In Europe, Atradius expects the highest rise in Switzerland, Italy and Portugal, while Ireland, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands are set for decreases. Across the eurozone, companies continue to operate under substantial pressure in 2026. Higher energy prices, driven by disruptions in gas markets linked to the conflict in the Middle East, are feeding through to broader inflation and weighing on margins.</p>    <p>North America remains divided. In the United States, insolvencies are forecast to rise by 8% in 2026. The economic climate remains challenging for companies, with high trade tariffs and increased policy uncertainty continuing to weigh on the operating environment.

			<title>Gan Lee licenses diabetes drug to JW Pharmaceutical</title>
			<description>span style font size 14pt The Chinese pharmaceutical company granted the South Korean partner exclusive rights to commercialize its GLP 1 receptor agonist Bofanglutide internationally span</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">BEIJING and BRIDGEWATER, N.J., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gan &amp; Lee Pharmaceuticals (hereinafter referred to as "Gan &amp; Lee", SSE: 603087) announced the signing of an exclusive licensing agreement with JW Pharmaceutical, a leading pharmaceutical company in South Korea. Under the agreement, the two parties will collaborate on the clinical development, regulatory filing, and commercialization in South Korea of Bofanglutide Injection, a bi-weekly (once every two weeks) Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1RA) independently discovered and developed by Gan &amp; Lee.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Strategic Alliance: By Leveraging JW's Strengths in R&amp;D and Commercialization in South Korea, Gan &amp; Lee Will Establish a Strong Commercial Footprint in South Korea's High-Potential Metabolic Disease Market</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Under the terms of the agreement, JW Pharmaceutical will be granted the exclusive rights to develop and commercialize Bofanglutide Injection in South Korea. Gan &amp; Lee Pharmaceuticals will receive a one-time, non-refundable upfront payment of USD 5 million. Additionally, Gan &amp; Lee is eligible to receive milestone payments totaling USD 76.1 million, contingent upon research and development progress, regulatory approvals, and commercialization achievements. Following the product's commercial launch, Gan &amp; Lee will also receive tiered royalties based on net sales. The total potential transaction value reaches up to USD 81.1 million (excluding royalties).</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">This collaboration marks the third overseas out-licensing deal for Gan &amp; Lee's Bofanglutide Injection, following previous partnerships in Latin America and India. According to data from Grand View Research, the GLP-1RA market in the Asia-Pacific region reached USD 5.47 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to USD 16.95 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% [1], making it one of the fastest-growing regions globally. Currently, the treatment penetration rate of GLP-1 drugs remains extremely low, indicating massive growth potential. As a mature market in the Asia-Pacific region, South Korea's GLP-1RA market size reached USD 526 million in 2025 and is expected to increase to USD 1.6 billion by 2033 [2]. With its high acceptance of innovative drugs and strong patient purchasing power, the South Korean market has become a strategic foothold for multinational pharmaceutical companies entering East Asia. This collaboration marks another key step in the rapid global expansion of Gan &amp; Lee's differentiated bi–weekly GLP–1RA, Bofanglutide.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Steady Progress in Global Phase III Clinical Trials; Bi-weekly Dosing Regimen Significantly Enhances Patient Compliance</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Currently, as the world's first bi-weekly GLP-1RA to enter Phase III clinical research, Bofanglutide has advanced into the critical Phase III stage of its global development for three proposed indications: obesity/overweight, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Existing clinical data demonstrate that Bofanglutide can effectively reduce body weight and blood glucose levels while comprehensively improving other metabolic parameters, yielding overall metabolic benefits. Its safety and tolerability profiles are consistent with other GLP-1RA class therapies. The bi-weekly dosing regimen further reduces the annual number of injections by 50% compared to mainstream once-weekly GLP-1RAs. This is anticipated to substantially boost patient adherence, offering a more convenient treatment option for the long-term, effective management of metabolic diseases.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">As the global burden of metabolic diseases continues to rise, GLP-1 therapies are encountering tremendous market opportunities. South Korea, as one of the world's key pharmaceutical markets, exhibits a robust demand for innovative diabetes and weight-loss therapies. This collaboration will effectively address the clinical and commercial needs of the South Korean market for highly efficacious and convenient treatment regimens.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">"This partnership with JW Pharmaceutical marks another pivotal step in the globalization strategy for Bofanglutide," stated Dr. Zhi Li, Chief Business Officer of Gan &amp; Lee Pharmaceuticals. "GLP-1 therapies are reshaping the global treatment landscape for metabolic diseases. The convenience of Bofanglutide's bi-weekly dosing and its compelling clinical benefits will help address the unmet medical needs of South Korean patients. With over 80 years of experience, JW brings deep development and commercial expertise in metabolic diseases—a key factor in our decision to partner with JW."</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">Young-sub Shin, CEO of JW Pharmaceutical, commented: "This agreement represents a significant milestone in expanding our product portfolio within the rapidly growing therapeutic area of metabolic diseases, particularly diabetes and obesity. JW Pharmaceutical will leverage its established expertise in clinical development and regulatory execution, remaining committed to advancing the development and commercialization of Gan &amp; Lee's Bofanglutide in South Korea, thereby bringing innovative treatment options to South Korean patients."</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>GEVA boosts Vietnam s green export push</title>
			<description>Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent international market requirements regarding quality traceability and sustainability standards strengthening the capacity of Vietnamese enterprises and supporting their access to green export markets has become a critical priority</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<table class="MASTERCMS_TPL_TABLE" style="width: 100%;">  	<tbody>  		<tr>  			<td><img  src="https://vir.com.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2026/042026/09/10/120260409103542.jpg?rt=20260409103621" class="__img_mastercms" alt="" style="max-width:100%; padding:0px; margin:0px;" title=""></td>  		</tr>  		<tr>  			<td>GEVA-supported enterprises at the Taiwan Lunar New Year Fair.</td>  		</tr>  	</tbody>  </table>    <p>The project Green Export Incubation and Acceleration through Voluntary Sustainability Standards (<a href="https://vir.com.vn/search_enginer.html?p=search&amp;q=VSS">VSS</a>) – GEVA has played and continues to play an important bridging role, enabling enterprises to progressively integrate more deeply into global value chains.</p>    <p>Through one-on-one advisory support with experts, enterprises participating in GEVA have not only been assisted in reviewing and refining their business models and strengthening their green export orientation, but have also been progressively equipped with the knowledge, tools, and capabilities required to adapt to the increasingly demanding conditions of international markets.</p>    <p>This support has been designed practically, focusing on key areas such as business models, export operations, sustainability standards, packaging development, intellectual property, and branding. Such a process not only enhances enterprises’ internal capacities, but also contributes to fostering market-oriented thinking, strengthening personnel, and laying the groundwork for structured, long-term export strategies.</p>    <p>Building upon this foundation, GEVA’s international market connection activities have been implemented as a subsequent step and, at the same time, as a critical stage through which enterprises begin engaging directly with export markets. In this context, market connection is not regarded as an opportunistic starting point, but rather as a follow-on phase after enterprises have attained a certain degree of preparedness in terms of capacity, products, messaging, and development.</p>    <p>This approach enables enterprises to enter international markets in a more proactive manner, assess the suitability of their products, better understand the needs and expectations of international partners, and continue refining their products and strategies in pursuit of a sustainable and well-directed green export pathway.</p>    <p><strong>Presence at international trade fairs</strong></p>    <p>One of GEVA’s key interventions has been to support enterprises in participating in international trade fairs and exhibitions to create opportunities for direct engagement with buyers, product validation, and the expansion of partnership networks.</p>    <p>In September 2025, the project collaborated with the Vietnam Pepper and Spice Association (VPSA) to organise two booths at Vietnam Sourcing Expo 2025, a large-scale trade promotion event that brought together a significant number of international buyers and exporting enterprises. Through this activity, GEVA supported 17 enterprises within the venture network in rotating product displays and facilitated seven one-on-one B2B matching sessions with international partners. Nearly 70 prospective buyers were reached, generating encouraging indications of market demand and interest in Vietnamese agricultural and food products.</p>    <p>In January 2026 GEVA participated in the Taiwan Lunar New Year Fair 2026, establishing three booths and sponsoring five enterprises from the Incubation and Acceleration Programme in the coffee and spice sectors to showcase their products and connect with the market. Direct participation in a consumer fair enabled these enterprises to engage with local consumers and gain a clearer understanding of purchasing behaviour, consumer preferences, and market expectations.</p>    <p>In March 2026, GEVA continued this support by sponsoring three booths for selected spice enterprises to participate in the International Pepper and Spice Conference 2026 organised by VPSA. Through this event, participating enterprises were able not only to strengthen connections within the industry network, but also to engage directly with potential domestic and international buyers, stay informed of market trends, and gain insights into the strategic direction of the sector.</p>    <p><strong>Online conferences</strong></p>    <p>In parallel with in-person activities, GEVA organised four online green export market connection conferences focusing on key markets, namely Taiwan, Canada, the EU, and Japan. At each conference, speakers and participating partners– organisations with experience in market advisory and market connection and with networks of prospective buyers–shared information on import regulations, technical standards, consumer trends, and practical considerations for market entry. These exchanges contributed to supporting enterprises in accessing international markets in a more systematic manner.</p>    <table class="MASTERCMS_TPL_TABLE" style="width: 100%;">  	<tbody>  		<tr>  			<td><img  src="https://vir.com.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2026/042026/09/10/320260409103555.jpg?rt=20260409103959" class="__img_mastercms" alt="" style="max-width:100%; padding:0px; margin:0px;" title=""></td>  		</tr>  		<tr>  			<td>Connect to the Japanese market – GEVA Project</td>  		</tr>  	</tbody>  </table>    <p>Following the conferences, the list and product profiles of 23 enterprises participating in the Green Export Incubation and Acceleration Programme were consolidated and shared with market partners, buyers, and potential retail chains, thereby helping to encourage opportunities for commercial connection and cooperation.</p>    <p>Beyond the timeframe and scope of the funded project, GEVA and its partners remain committed to their role as a bridge for Vietnamese enterprises–from providing market intelligence and facilitating partner connections to offering strategic guidance on appropriate market entry approaches–thereby progressively reducing risks and enhancing the prospects for successful export activities.</p>    <p><strong>Providing market intelligence</strong></p>    <p>In parallel with the conferences, GEVA has directed its efforts towards developing market reports as a foundational knowledge resource for enterprises.

			<title>ESR secures US 850 mln for long term growth</title>
			<description>span style font size 14pt The real estate asset manager raised US 850 million in new funding which it will use to expand its logistics and data centre portfolio across Asia Pacific span</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 April 2026 – ESR, an Asia-Pacific ("APAC") focused real asset owner and manager, today announced that it has secured US$850 million in additional equity capital, further strengthening its balance sheet and accelerating execution of its long-term growth strategy across logistics real estate and data centres.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">The new investment was committed by existing shareholders, backed by leading global investors, reinforcing conviction in ESR's strategy, platform, and growth momentum.<br />  <br />  The capital will be deployed to fund growth initiatives across ESR's logistics real estate and data centres platforms. This builds on the significant progress achieved following ESR's privatisation in July 2025, as the Group advances its strategic transformation into a more focused business positioned for long-term growth.<br />  <br />  In line with this strategy, since January 2025, ESR has realised more than US$2 billion in net proceeds through the divestment of non-core holdings and recapitalisation of balance sheet assets, simplifying the portfolio and recycling capital into core growth sectors.<br />  <br />  Together, these developments have strengthened ESR's ability to scale its fund management and development platforms, while capitalising on long‑term structural tailwinds including e-commerce growth, supply chain reconfiguration, and accelerating digitalisation.<br />  <br />  Phil Pearce, President of ESR, said, "ESR has entered its next phase of growth with a stronger capital base and a more focused platform. As global capital continues to shift toward APAC, investors are increasingly seeking managers with local depth, strategic clarity, and a proven ability to execute in an evolving market environment.<br />  <br />  We are pleased to be deepening our partnership with leading global investors, who are not only shareholders, but also long-term capital partners across our platform. With a sharpened focus on logistics real estate and data centres, we are accelerating development and fundraising while driving sustained growth in leasing and capital deployment. Looking ahead, we remain focused on scaling our core business with discipline and delivering long-term value for our capital partners and customers."<br />  <br />  ESR's growth strategy is centred on priority markets in Australia, Japan, and South Korea, while expanding opportunities across Greater China, India, and Southeast Asia. Reflecting the strength of its institutional relationships, ESR partners with 12 of the world's top 20 real estate Limited Partners and has raised an average of US$3.8 billion annually across its key sector mandates over the past five years.<br />  <br />  In logistics real estate, demand continues to concentrate on modern, large‑scale, and well‑located logistics assets near consumption hubs and major population centres. Serving over 1,500 customers, ESR is advancing an approximately US$9 billion development pipeline to meet evolving customer needs while creating investment opportunities for capital partners.<br />  <br />  Leveraging the scale and depth of its APAC platform, ESR's data centres business is differentiated by its ability to secure land and power early in the development cycle, supporting a pipeline of over 3 GW of capacity for phased development in key growth markets.<br />  <br />  https://www.esr.com/</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/458816/9995" /></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<description>span style font size 14pt The Toyota group supplier signed a 20 year power purchase agreement with Peak Energy for the project which will generate renewable electricity for its plant span</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="normalPara">TOKYO, JAPAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 April 2026 - JTEKT Corporation, global manufacturer of automotive and industrial components and core member of the Toyota Group, today announced the commissioning of a 2 megawatt-peak (MWp) solar carport at a facility in Kagawa Prefecture, Japan, delivered under a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Peak Energy. JTEKT expects to save nearly 40% on electricity costs through power generated by the solar systems, compared with grid power.</p>    <figure align="center" data-image-height="0" data-image-width="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center"><img alt="The 2MW solar carport was installed in Kagawa - JTEKT key producing site" src="https://vir.com.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2026/042026/09/11/kagawatoyotagroupjtekt20260409112950.jpg" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="100%" />  <figcaption style="text-align: left;font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px;display: block;margin: 0px;width: 100%"><i>The 2MW solar carport was installed in Kagawa - JTEKT key producing site</i></figcaption>  </figure>  <br />  Under the long-term PPA, Peak Energy designed, financed and installed the system and will provide full operations and maintenance (O&amp;M) over the contract term. Electricity generated by the solar carport will be consumed on-site, supporting JTEKT's objectives on energy cost visibility and decarbonisation.<br />  <br />  The carport installation, which covers 640 parking spaces was completed in just 5 months. It is expected to generate approximately 2,500 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity annually, helping to avoid around 1,090 tons of CO₂ emissions each year, equivalent to removing 230 cars from the road annually.<br />  <br />  The commissioning comes as Japan's export-facing manufacturers increasingly look for renewable energy solutions that can be deployed within tight operational and land constraints.<br />  <br />  Carport projects built over existing parking areas allow companies to add on-site generation without additional land take, while also improving day-to-day site usability through shading and weather protection.<br />  <br />  Unlike conventional solar installations, carport projects represent a leap in complexity, similar to major infrastructure upgrades than solar add-ons. These projects demand meticulous structural engineering, safety management, and tightly managed installation sequencing around an active industrial site. This project reflects experience built across industrial deployments in the region, build with delivery discipline.<br />  <br />  "<i>JTEKT set a company-wide target to reduce CO₂ emissions by 60% by fiscal year 2030 compared to fiscal year 2013. As part of this effort, the Kagawa Plant has been promoting a 'CO₂ Zero Challenge!' initiative.

During the year, geopolitical risks and trade tensions caused sudden swings in sentiment, which affected small- and mid-cap stocks. We steered clear of headlines and focused on sustainable earnings. This allowed us to selectively position ourselves for when valuations turned compelling while reducing exposure when risks escalated which proved effective and underscores our expertise in Malaysian equities".<br />  <br />  Since the launch of KGF in 2000 and KGFS2 in 2018, both funds have demonstrated consistent performance. As of December 2025, each has surpassed RM1 billion in assets under management<sup>1</sup>, underscoring Kenanga Investors' disciplined investment approach and commitment to long term value creation. This year's Awards also mark KGF's sixth Lipper title while KGFS2 celebrates its inaugural win.<br />  <br />  Lee Sook Yee, Chief Investment Officer, elaborated on the firm's approach, "We maintained a disciplined bottom‑up stock‑picking strategy anchored in company fundamentals, giving us the conviction to stay invested in high quality businesses with strong balance sheets and structural growth drivers. This was supported by a strict risk management framework focused on sector diversification, prudent buffers, and incremental rebalancing. In 2026, we will emphasise themes such as artificial intelligence and data centre expansion, infrastructure, utilities, and selective REITs, while remaining true to our investment philosophy".<br />  <br />  Over the five‑year period ended 31 December 2025, KGF delivered a total return of 48.82%, significantly outperforming its benchmark<sup>2</sup> of 3.25%. Similarly, KGFS2 achieved a robust 49.92% return compared to its benchmark's<sup>3</sup> 46.93%. KMIF also recorded solid results with a 32.67% return against a benchmark<sup>4 </sup>of 5.26%, while KMGF posted a commendable 25.88% return, exceeding its benchmark's<sup>5</sup> 11.32%.<br />  <br />  The firm also recently introduced the Kenanga Growth Fund Series 3 ("KGFS3"), the third fund within its flagship conventional fund series. The KGFS3 utilises the firm's proven investment philosophy and is managed with an active investment strategy depending on the market conditions and outlook, combining a top-down asset and sector allocation process with a bottom-up stock selection methodology.<br />  <br />  The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards, granted annually, highlight funds and fund companies that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers. The Awards are based on the Lipper Leader for Consistent Return rating, which is a risk-adjusted performance measure calculated over 36, 60 and 120 months. This year's achievements will serve to strengthen Kenanga Investors' market leadership and drive its focus on creating enduring value for its investors.<br />  <br />  For more information about Kenanga Investors, please visit kenangainvestors.com.my.<br />  <br />  <i><sup>1</sup></i><i> Source: Lipper, 31 December 2025</i><br />  <br />  <i><sup>2</sup></i><i> Benchmark: FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI CR</i><br />  <br />  <i><sup>3</sup></i><i> Benchmark: 8% p.a.</i><br />  <br />  <i><sup>4</sup></i><i> Benchmark: FTSE Bursa Malaysia Top 100 CR</i><br />  <br />  <i><sup>5</sup></i><i> Benchmark: FTSE Bursa Malaysia Top 100 Index (50%) &amp; All MGS Index by RAM Quant Shop (50%)</i>    <p>The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p>  <img alt="" height="1" src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/458963/9995" style="width:1px;height:1px;" width="1" />]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 April 2026 - A new documentary Building Icons: The Global One explores the complexities of architecture and engineering, with the team behind The Global One – showcasing how one of Taiwan's most earthquake-resistant residential complexes came to life. The documentary is set to premiere in Southeast Asia on the Discovery Channel on Friday, April 10 2026 at 7:10 PM SGT and on Discovery Asia on Sunday, April 12 at 9:00 PM SGT.<br />  <br />  Set in the Nangang district in Taipei, the new documentary features a residential development designed to withstand major earthquakes, typhoons and extreme weather conditions. The project faced extraordinary engineering challenges due to its location on soft ground and vulnerability to earthquakes, conditions rarely encountered in urban environments.<br />  <br />  The Global One is the realization of the vision of Nankang Rubber Tire Corporation's late Chairman, Lin Hsueh‑Pu, and redefines the standards of safety in residential developments, with a goal to last a century and provide peace of mind to its residents. The documentary follows teams on the ground as they combine advanced engineering and rigorous testing, to enhance the building's safety specifications, beyond other critical buildings in Taiwan.<br />  <br />  Audiences will get insight into engineering practices and hear how The Global One is built for extreme disaster resilience and long‑term durability, with a structure that incorporates special shock absorbers into the walls to dampen the violent tremors, as well as specific electrical wiring and pipes, which were carefully selected to reduce fire risk and function during emergencies.<br />  <br />  Catch Building Icons: The Global One in Southeast Asia on Discovery Channel, Friday, April 10 2026 at 7:10 PM SGT and on Discovery Asia on Sunday, April 12 at 9:00 PM SGT.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">For more information, please visit www.discovery.com.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />  <img alt="" src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/458782/9995" /></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>AXA finds family support key to expat assignment success</title>
			<description>span style font size 14pt The health insurer s research identified cultural adaptation assistance for dependents as critical factors in international employee retention span</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - Media OutReach Newswire - 8 April 2026 - New research from AXA Global Healthcare across ten international markets highlights family wellbeing, cultural adaptation and social integration as three of the strongest predictors of successful global assignments.<br />  <br />  Building on eight years of research, AXA's latest study draws on insights from 689 HR decision-makers and 641 non-native assignees, offering a detailed view of the factors shaping international assignment outcomes.<br />  <br />  The research found that family concerns (49%) cultural adjustment (47%) and social isolation (47%) are the three most common drivers for employees ending assignments early.<br />  <br />  With the average cost of an international assignment rising by over 50% since 2017 to $79,636 per year above base salary, the case for preparing against these common drivers is made clear to HR leaders.<br />  <br />  The importance of family, health and home<br />  <br />  The research findings suggest a greater demand for early support beyond the logistics and legalities of moving abroad than that which is currently provided.<br />  <br />  When asked, just 1 in 5 (20%) said their family received help with relocation services for their current assignment, yet one in three (33%) say they would expect this type of support from their employer for future placements.<br />  <br />  Expectations outweigh provision on health-related assurances too. Whilst current support matches expectation for local health insurance, there is a seven-point gap between the global health insurance currently provided (32%) and the expectation for future assignments (39%). This demand falls in line with broader mobility trends – 73% of HR decision-makers expect more digital nomadism in their workforce over the next five years – global health cover caters to just that.<br />  <br />  For organisations, this means reassessing what preparation involves.<br />  <br />  "When we think about mobility strategies, the focus should not only be on business outcomes but on how well we prepare people, and their loved ones, for change." says Ellen Hughes, Chief People Officer, AXA Health Business.<br />  <br />  Assignment success requires adaptive support<br />  <br />  Of assignments that end early, one in three do so because of difficulty adapting to local culture – and this has been a top three reason for early returns for the last eight years.<br />  <br />  Demand for cultural preparation has also increased by 24% since AXA Global Healthcare's last report in 2020, suggesting that assignees are becoming more aware of the importance of forward planning – and the latest research findings suggest wellbeing provision needs to meet expectations.<br />  <br />  Language training support was found to be 12.5% short of expectation, while cultural adaptation support fell further behind, at nearly 20%. The nature of this support – whether it be learning a language or getting to grips with an entirely new culture – suggests that the key is in preparation well in advance of placement to give assignees a better shot at success.<br />  <br />  Social isolation: creating the conditions for connection<br />  <br />  Over half (54%) of assignees feel their mental health being challenged within the first three months of their assignment. At this point, the environment feels most unfamiliar and assignees that are not adequately equipped are most likely to struggle.<br />  <br />  Isolation can be prevented in a variety of ways. The findings suggest expat forums (27%) and support groups (23%) are two valued support mechanisms for assignees. Opening up conversations about psychological preparation for the lifestyle change and providing connections through the workplace with buddy and mentoring systems can also be effective for establishing a social baseline for employees on placement.<br />  <br />  Assignees themselves must also take responsibility. Excitement about a new posting can distract from thorough preparation for potential social challenges.<br />  <br />  Sean Dubberke, intercultural specialist and Chief Learning Officer at professional training firm RW3 highlights: "Employees can often misunderstand relocation because of simple excitement. This adventurous enthusiasm can delay preparation for the practical and psychological realities of living in a new cultural environment."<br />  <br />  Personal preparation means thinking ahead – maintaining home connections, identifying how to build new ones, and understanding how daily social life will change.<br />  <br />  Closing the awareness gap<br />  <br />  Across all three areas, employers are providing more support than assignees recognise. Just 19% of assignees cited access to language preparation, against 36% of HR leaders who say they provide it. Similarly, 17% of assignees cited cultural preparation support, compared with 34% of HR leaders. Gaps are consistent for mentoring and buddy systems (28% vs 46%) and expatriate support groups (24% vs 45%).<br />  <br />  This is not a problem with resourcing, but communication. Support covering exactly the family, cultural, and social challenges that can drive early returns exists, but isn't reaching the people who need it. Closing this gap requires clearer communication from employers and active engagement from assignees.<br />  <br />  The evolution of global mobility<br />  <br />  Short-term placements are predicted to increase by 69% in the next five years and are predicted to shorten further with the rise of digital nomadism. As assignment models evolve, the risks of cultural disconnection, family strain, and social isolation won't disappear – they'll become more acute as the window for preparation gets shorter.<br />  <br />  For HR decision-makers, two preparation priorities stand out: keep family, cultural, and social support central as these factors become more strongly linked to successful outcomes; and close the awareness gap through consistent communication and shared accountability.<br />  <br />  "AXA Global Healthcare's research demonstrates that in order for preparation to deliver the best outcomes, businesses should design mobility strategies which recognise the full experience of relocation, and individuals must actively engage with the support available to them. Only then can the value and investment at this stage of an assignment be realised.<br />  <br />  By strengthening preparation at every level, we can create the conditions for mobility to deliver on its promise: growth for our organisations and meaningful opportunities and experiences for our people." says Hughes.<br />  <br />  https://www.axaglobalhealthcare.com/en/</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/458683/9995" /></p>]]></content:encoded>

These include Engine 1 Residential Property, Engine 2 Recurring Income Property, and Engine 3 New Businesses for a Better Future.<br />  <br />  SC is also targeting to increase the profit contribution from Engine 2 and Engine 3 to more than 30 percent in order to drive the company's overall profit to reach a new high again by 2030, while ensuring that all businesses continue to create value for people and the planet.<br />  <br />  In 2026, the company will implement a comprehensive rebrand, including a new logo and refreshed corporate identity, marking its first such transformation in 20 years.

They survive through evolution, and brands that fail to adapt will eventually become extinct. SC therefore continues to evolve. Rebranding and organizational reform are part of that evolution. A more flexible and diversified business portfolio will enable SC not only to survive but to grow sustainably in the highly volatile and challenging real estate industry, while creating greater value for people more broadly," Nuttaphong said.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.<br />  <img alt="" height="1" src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/458690/9995" style="width:1px;height:1px;" width="1" /></p>]]></content:encoded>

			<title>Jardine Matheson releases 2025 sustainability report</title>
			<description>The Hong Kong conglomerate published annual environmental social and governance performance documentation linking sustainability to shareholder returns</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 9 April 2026 - Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (Jardines) has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, which outlines the Group's approach to sustainability, progress towards its objectives and 2025 performance.

Zhang Feng, Secretary of the CPC Chinese Institute of Electronics Committee, and Guo Hao, President of the China Association of Communications Enterprises, attended the event, among others. Li Huidi, Executive Vice President of China Mobile attended the conference and delivered a speech.</p>    <figure align="center" data-image-height="0" data-image-width="0" style="display: block;width: 100%;margin: 0px;padding: 0px;text-align: center"><img alt="1" src="https://vir.com.vn/stores/news_dataimages/2026/042026/09/10/120260409105041.jpg" style="width: 100%;margin: 0px" width="100%" /></figure>    <p style="text-align: justify;"><br />  Li Huidi pointed out that artificial intelligence is currently reshaping the ways of production and life with unprecedented speed and breadth, deeply restructuring the competitive landscape of global industries. AI is already the core engine driving the leap in social productivity and leading the transformation of the global industrial system. The overseas development of Chinese enterprises is undergoing a comprehensive upgrade from the traditional export of products and production capacity to the synergistic development of digital capabilities and industrial chains driven by AI.<br />  <br />  Li Huidi stated that, in the face of a new round of technological revolution and industrial transformation, China Mobile is accelerating the transition from a "telecommunications operator" to a "technology services enterprise." With the vision of building a world-class technology services enterprise, it comprehensively promotes the integrated innovation of communication technologies, information technologies, and AI technologies, in order to strengthen, optimize, and expand the three major businesses of "communications services, computing services, and AI services." China Mobile will deeply integrate its AI capabilities into the entire chain of its three core businesses, paving a digital and intelligent highway for globalization, featuring the integration of networks and intelligence, safety and reliability, and universal access across all domains for Chinese enterprises going global:<br />  <br />  First, China Mobile will strengthen communications services and empower "AI connectivity", weaving a dense network of global intelligent interconnection. The scale of China Mobile's international information infrastructure continues to grow. China Mobile have expanded the capacity of submarine and terrestrial cables, bringing total international transmission bandwidth to 406T and Points of Presence (PoPs) to 446. Notably, the eastern section of 2Africa, the largest submarine cable system in the world circling Africa, has been activated. The sections are expected to be completed and put into operation in the first half of this year. Spanning a total length of approximately 45,000 kilometers, this submarine cable is laid along the coastline of the African continent. It connects 33 countries and regions across the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, providing high-quality, low-latency international communication services for a population of roughly 3 billion along its route. This major information artery, which connects six continents and four oceans, provides safe and reliable guarantees for end-to-end connections. It supports the scheduling of transnational AI applications and the integration of global business for enterprises going global. Global roaming is now available in 268 destinations, and the total number of users for the JegoTrip app has exceeded 90 million. China Mobile's international ecological cooperation continues to expand, and the "Hand-in-Hand Program" covers over 3 billion users worldwide. China Mobile have consecutively hosted events such as the Southeast Asia Cooperation Conference and the China Mobile Digital Empowerment Cooperation Conferences for Chinese Enterprises Going Global. These events have been widely praised and have strengthened China Mobile's influence within the global ecosystem. In recent years, China Mobile's revenue from international business has consistently maintained a trend of high-speed, double-digit growth.<br />  <br />  Second, China Mobile will optimize computing services and drive "AI Computing", building a globally integrated computing network across the world.As a builder of computing infrastructure, China Mobile will comprehensively increase its investment in Artificial Intelligence Data Centers (AIDC), accelerate the supply of computing, and enhance its operational capabilities for Tokens. China Mobile's 100-megawatt-level Global Intelligent Center (GIC) in Hong Kong has officially opened, and China Mobile will deploy more nodes for AI computing along the "Belt and Road" initiative in the future. China Mobile have already established a cluster for AI computing with a capacity of 92.5 EFLOPS in China. By linking this with over 1,300 resources from self-owned and cooperative data centers overseas, China Mobile are constructing a global network for computing. China Mobile will promote Mobile Cloud to integrate high-quality global models and streamline the service chain where "Agents use Tokens, Tokens drive Computing, and Computing consumes Electricity." This will forge a solid foundation of computing for Chinese enterprises going global.<br />  <br />  Third, China Mobile will expand AI services and reshape digital services, stimulating new momentum across all domains for enterprises going global.As a promoter of applications for artificial intelligence, China Mobile continuously iterates the capabilities of its "Jiutian" large model. China Mobile have accumulated industrial data exceeding 20 trillion Tokens and independently developed more than 50 industrial large models. This promotes the deep integration of AI agents into the entire process of production and operations for enterprises. Overseas, China Mobile translate its leading domestic AI capabilities into a "smart engine" for Chinese enterprises expanding abroad. Targeting the pain points of enterprises going global, China Mobile have tailored a "1+8" system of products and solutions for all scenarios, which has already served tens of thousands of Chinese enterprises in their global layout. By combining the advantages of Chinese manufacturing and 5G solutions, China Mobile achieve deep integration with local ecosystems overseas. In regions including Europe, Latin America, and the Asia-Pacific, and have successfully established over a thousand benchmark cases of "AI+" digital and intelligent transformation, such as smart factories, smart ports, and smart IoV. This makes the fruits of China's innovation in AI benefit the global market.<br />  <br />  Looking toward the vast blue ocean of the AI era, Li Huidi proposed four initiatives: First, China Mobile will jointly build AI infrastructure to forge a solid "new foundation" for AI+ global development. China Mobile will join hands with global industry partners to accelerate the construction of global communication networks, computing networks, and intelligent networks. China Mobile will jointly optimize the layout of global submarine and terrestrial cables as well as hubs for computing, achieving mutually beneficial cooperation along the "Belt and Road" initiative and around the world. By building more high-standard Artificial Intelligence Data Centers, China Mobile will provide low-latency, highly reliable, high-performance, and widely covered infrastructure of computing networks for Chinese enterprises marching into the world. Second, China Mobile will jointly establish AI standards to build a "new consensus" on intelligence within the industry. China Mobile will continue to promote China's full-stack AI technologies and standards to the world, covering the entire chain of computing foundations, large models, and industrial applications. This will contribute Chinese wisdom, Chinese solutions, and Chinese standards to the construction of an open, inclusive, and interoperable system of global rules for AI technology. Third, China Mobile will jointly expand AI scenarios to release "new quality productive forces" across thousands of industries. China Mobile will continuously open up China Mobile's technological foundation and experience in various scenarios, collaborating with enterprises going global to unearth high-value industrial scenarios. By providing exclusive resources for AI computing and support for Tokens, China Mobile will empower the accelerated release of new quality productive forces through AI innovation. In key regions along the "Belt and Road" initiative, China Mobile will create more replicable and promotable benchmark projects of "AI+" digital and intelligent transformation for overseas development. Fourth, China Mobile will jointly cultivate a win-win AI ecosystem to expand the "new circle of friends" for global cooperation. China Mobile will continuously upgrade the cooperative ecological system of the "iSTAR Program. Relying on the three core pillars of "AI+ applications, cloud and AI computing, and connectivity," China Mobile will unite the strengths of global industries, academia, research, and application. This will help build a more open, inclusive, and mutually beneficial globalized digital and intelligent ecosystem. China Mobile will jointly incubate "AI+" solutions for overseas development across more than 150 scenarios, providing intelligent escorts across the entire chain and full life cycle for Chinese enterprises going global.<br />  <br />  At the conference, using full-stack digital and intelligent capabilities to escort Chinese enterprises going global, China Mobile released a series of "AI+" full-stack digital and intelligent infrastructure, products, and services. Together with its ecological partners, China Mobile jointly released the "White Paper on the Digital and Intelligent Ecosystem of the China Mobile International 'iSTAR Program' for Chinese Enterprises Going-Global," collaboratively building a new ecosystem for AI services.</p>    <p style="text-align: justify;">The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.</p>  <img alt="" height="1" src="//track.media-outreach.com/index.php/WebView/458795/9995" style="width:1px;height:1px;" width="1" />]]></content:encoded>
