BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, Sept 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Airwheel, an intelligent mobility technology brand, today announced that its flagship Airwheel SE3SX smart riding cabin suitcase has been recognized at the 2026 iLuxury Awards, receiving the "Best Luxury Tech and Gadgets – Best Luxury Tech for Travel " award.The award-winning rideable carry-on combines intelligent mobility, flagship engineering, and premium industrial design for the next generation of travel.When travel becomes about more than simply reaching a destination—when the journey itself becomes part of the experience—the definition of premium travel equipment begins to evolve.The recognition highlights the SE3SX’s combination of intelligent mobility, connected technology, premium materials, and futuristic industrial design, reflecting a broader shift in how technology is being integrated into the luxury travel experience.Rather than treating luggage as a passive container, Airwheel approaches the suitcase as an active part of the journey—one that can carry belongings, provide powered mobility, connect with digital devices, and adapt to different travel scenarios.iLuxury Awards: Where Luxury Meets TechnologyThe iLuxury Awards, founded by the International Awards Associate (IAA), recognizes innovation across luxury products, design, technology, and lifestyle.The program highlights products that bring together aesthetic refinement, technological innovation, craftsmanship, and practical value. For Airwheel, the SE3SX recognition reflects the growing convergence of luxury design and intelligent mobility.The award also arrives as the global luggage category moves beyond traditional considerations such as capacity, materials, and appearance. Connected functionality, electric mobility, human-machine interaction, and personalized experiences are becoming increasingly relevant to the next generation of premium travel products.Beyond the Suitcase: Intelligent Mobility for the JourneyFor generations, the suitcase has served one fundamental purpose: carrying belongings from one destination to another.Airwheel is exploring a different possibility.The SE3SX combines luggage storage with an integrated electric drive system, allowing travelers to switch between riding and conventional rolling modes according to the environment.This makes the product particularly relevant to travel scenarios that involve long distances on foot, including airport terminals, railway stations, exhibition complexes, and large commercial spaces.The concept is straightforward: instead of simply pulling luggage behind them, travelers can use the suitcase itself as part of their mobility experience.In this sense, the SE3SX represents a broader transition from traditional luggage toward Smart Luggage, Electric Suitcases, and Rideable Cabin Suitcases.Flagship Engineering, Designed Around the TravelerThe SE3SX combines a 20-inch cabin-oriented form factor with an integrated electric mobility system.The suitcase measures 530 × 360 × 236 mm, offers approximately 20 liters of storage, and weighs about 6.6 kg. It supports a maximum load of 95 kg and reaches a top riding speed of 9.9 km/h.Its propulsion system combines a 230W motorized front wheel with rear auxiliary wheels to support both riding stability and conventional rolling. The system is designed for controlled movement across suitable travel environments, while the suitcase can return to conventional pull-behind use when riding is not appropriate.The exterior combines a high-strength ABS+PC shell with an aluminum alloy frame, balancing structural strength with a premium, lightweight form. A TSA combination lock supports international travel, while a built-in USB output provides convenient charging for compatible personal devices.The SE3SX uses a 73.26Wh detachable lithium battery, designed around applicable air-travel battery requirements.Technology That Stays Out of the WayFor a premium smart product, technology is most effective when it feels natural.The SE3SX integrates physical controls with the Airwheel companion app, giving users different ways to interact with the suitcase depending on the situation.Its smart connectivity also includes native support for Apple Find My, allowing compatible Apple devices to help locate the suitcase.This combination of electric mobility and digital connectivity expands the role of luggage beyond physical storage. The suitcase becomes part of the traveler's connected device ecosystem, linking movement, location, and interaction within a single product.From long airport concourses to short-distance transfers, the objective is not simply to make luggage faster. It is to make movement with luggage more effortless.A Portfolio Built Around Intelligent TravelThe SE3SX represents Airwheel's flagship approach to premium intelligent travel, but it is part of a broader product portfolio developed for different users and travel scenarios.Airwheel SE3SX Cabin Suitcase — The flagship smart cabin suitcase and 2026 iLuxury Awards recipient, combining electric mobility, connected functions, Apple Find My, and premium industrial design.Airwheel SE3SXD Ai Luxury Suitcase — A next-generation intelligent model that explores automated mechanical deployment, smart interaction, and a more integrated AI-oriented travel experience.Airwheel SE3SL+ Airport Suitcase — Designed around frequent airport and railway travel, combining compact dimensions, powered mobility, and connected smart functions.Airwheel SE3MiniT Electric Hand Suitcase — A more compact and lightweight interpretation of rideable luggage, designed for short trips and everyday mobility.Airwheel SE3T Ai Wheel Suitcase — A larger-format smart electric suitcase developed for travelers who need greater capacity for longer journeys and family travel.Airwheel SQ3S Kids Suitcase — A smart rideable suitcase designed for younger travelers, bringing intelligent mobility and travel entertainment into the family journey.Across the portfolio, Airwheel continues to develop technologies spanning electric drive systems, motion control, intelligent sensing, structural engineering, and connected interaction.The result is not a single definition of smart luggage, but a product ecosystem designed around different forms of travel.From High-End Technology to a High-End LifestyleThe evolution of intelligent luggage is also reflected in where these products are being introduced.Airwheel has expanded its premium retail presence into high-end commercial destinations including SKP, IFC, and MixC, bringing intelligent travel products into environments traditionally associated with luxury fashion, premium consumer electronics, and sophisticated lifestyle products.The significance goes beyond retail.As smart luggage enters high-end commercial spaces, the category itself begins to move from conventional travel goods toward technology-enabled lifestyle products.The modern luxury suitcase is no longer defined solely by leather, metal, craftsmanship, or brand heritage. Increasingly, its value can also be expressed through intelligent interaction, mobility, connectivity, and the quality of the experience it creates.Technology Built for Long-Term InnovationBehind the evolution of Airwheel's smart mobility products is a technology foundation developed over more than a decade.Airwheel's intelligent riding products are distributed across 68 countries and more than 4,600 retail terminals, while the company has accumulated more than 600 patents worldwide covering areas including motion control, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing, and lightweight structural design.The company has also received recognition from a range of international design and innovation programs. In 2026, the SE3SX received the iLuxury Awards recognition alongside other international distinctions, including a TITAN Innovation Award Platinum and WGA Wonder Global Design Award Silver, while other Airwheel models have received additional international design honors.Together, these developments reflect a sustained effort to bring engineering, industrial design, and intelligent interaction into a category that has remained largely unchanged for decades.The Next Chapter of Intelligent TravelThe evolution of travel equipment is no longer simply about making luggage lighter, larger, or more durable.The next generation is increasingly about making it more intelligent, more connected, and more responsive to the way people actually travel.The Airwheel SE3SX represents one expression of that transition—from traditional luggage to smart mobility, and from passive storage to active participation in the journey.As Airwheel continues to develop products spanning AI Suitcases, Luxury Suitcases, Smart Suitcases, Cabin Suitcases, and Rideable Electric Luggage, the company is exploring a broader vision of intelligent travel in which technology becomes an almost invisible part of the experience.The destination may remain the same.But the journey is becoming something entirely different.About AirwheelAirwheel is an intelligent mobility technology brand focused on smart travel and personal mobility. Its product portfolio spans smart rideable suitcases, electric luggage, intelligent mobility products, and related connected travel technologies.By combining electric drive systems, intelligent controls, digital connectivity, and industrial design, Airwheel develops products designed to make everyday movement more intuitive, efficient, and engaging.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sept 22, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Direct Drive Tech Limited (the “Company”) launched its public offering on September 21 and is seeking a Main Board listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under Chapter 18C of the Listing Rules. Once the offering closes, the Company will become the “first direct-drive stock” in Hong Kong — and the first robotics technology company in global capital markets defined primarily by direct-drive technology. The market isn’t just watching a single listing; it may be watching an industry inflection point, as robot drive solutions shift from traditional reducers toward direct drive — a transition one young team is betting on to upend the established landscape.According to public records, founder Zhang Di earned a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Beijing Institute of Technology in 2016 before moving to the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he studied robotics systems and control engineering under Professor Li Zexiang — widely known as the “godfather of DJI.” His engineering instincts showed early: while at HKUST, he reportedly designed on his own a robot capable of standing both upright and upside down, and sold it to a research institution. Zhang has served as chairman and chief executive since March 2020, overseeing the Group’s overall management, strategic planning, and business decisions.Zhang founded the Company in 2020 at XbotPark, a robotics incubator in Songshan Lake, Dongguan. The Songshan Lake Robotics Research Institute, controlled by Professor Li, invested at the seed round, when the post-money valuation stood at just a few million renminbi; by the final round before the IPO, the valuation had climbed substantially. Now 32, Zhang has been named to both the Forbes China 30 Under 30 and the Hurun China Under 30 lists.Conventional robot drives pair a motor with a reducer: gears step down rotational speed and multiply torque, which suits high-load, high-impact duty. But every meshing gear introduces backlash and friction — heat, wear, and maintenance costs. Every multi-stage transmission adds response lag, energy loss, and precision drift. These are not process defects; they are structural limits baked into the gear-transmission path. And every reducer weakness maps to a direct-drive strength. As embodied intelligence begins demanding millisecond response, zero backlash, lower energy consumption, and longer service life, reducer-based solutions have hit a ceiling that iteration cannot break. This is not an upgrade; it is substitution.Since its founding, the Company has stayed on the direct-drive path, building its moat on three core technology pillars. By coupling the motor directly to the payload, its solution eliminates reducers and every intermediate transmission component. According to the prospectus, this cuts efficiency losses from mechanical transmission while improving precision, lowering noise, and reducing component wear — and it paves the way for smaller, lighter robots. This is no localized tweak to an existing design; it is a rebuild of the power-transmission path itself. The Company has built core capabilities around direct-drive motor design, thermal management, and drive-control integration — system-level know-how spanning electromagnetic design, control algorithms, and mass production. Zero backlash, zero friction, millisecond response: capabilities conventional solutions structurally cannot deliver are, in principle, within reach through direct drive. Iterating on the old technology cannot close that gap.The financials tell more than a revenue story — they trace how direct drive moved from technical validation to commercialization at scale. From 2023 to 2025, revenue rose from RMB17.5 million to RMB281.7 million, a 300.8% CAGR, as shipments of direct-drive actuator modules climbed from 0.2 million to 8.5 million units. Gross margin improved from 13.5% to 21.5%, reaching 20.7% in the first half of 2026, while the adjusted net loss margin narrowed from 349.1% to 15.4% — 13.7% in the first half of 2026. This is scale economics kicking in: a larger revenue base absorbing fixed costs, not R&D cuts, is what has narrowed the losses. It is not just one company’s growth curve; it is a substitution curve, a technology pathway moving from the margins toward the mainstream.Valuation is where Chapter 18C really matters. The Specialist Technology Company regime lets the market assess high-growth hard-tech companies on R&D capabilities, patent reserves, commercialization track record, commercialization revenue, and downstream customer validation — not net profit alone. That framework fits a company trying to change an industry’s underlying technology pathway. Traditional valuation systems revolve around net profit, and they struggle to price a technology like direct drive that is redrawing a century-old industry. Chapter 18C lets the market price “technology substitution” rather than short-term profitability.The technology pathway for global robot drives is still being written, but direct drive displacing reducers is getting harder to ignore. As the “first direct-drive stock,” the Company’s scarcity value lies in using direct drive to redraw the boundaries of the robot actuation market — giving investors a window into the rise of power hardware for physical AI. Direct-drive penetration in consumer robotics remains low, and the shift away from reducer-based solutions is still in its early days; the market has yet to fully price the trend. As direct drive finds its way into more applications, that revaluation has only just begun. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

Shanghai, Sept 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The first CHOUCHOU & FRIENDS global flagship store officially opened at No. 558 East Nanjing Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai. Occupying a total floor area of 570 square metres, it is China's first multi-celebrity-IP immersive fan experience flagship store, bringing music, trendy toys and culture together in one trendy experience space. A significant step in Star Plus Legend's offline retail matrix, the store is set to become a city-level trendy IP landmark in the heart of East Nanjing Road's core commercial district.Zhou Peimin, Chief Operating Officer of Star Plus Legend Group, said in her opening speech: “Shanghai is not only a trendsetter for China’s consumer market, but also a key gateway through which global brands and trend culture reach China and Chinese brands reach the world. East Nanjing Road sits at the very intersection of Shanghai-style commercial heritage and contemporary youth culture. Choosing this address for the first store is a deliberate first step in Star Plus Legend’s ‘One City, One Store’ strategy. Through this space, we hope to bring younger, more contemporary trendy content to East Nanjing Road, give consumers a cultural experience worth lingering in and returning to, and leave behind an IP memory for Shanghai that people can take away and share.”Music Woven into Architecture, An Immersive Space Unfolds Floor by FloorAs the centrepiece of the store experience, the interior design takes its cues from the aesthetics and storytelling of Jay Chou’s classic songs, linking fans’ shared musical memories with somewhere to meet offline, creating a fan space to wander through, play in and linger in.This experience is clearly perceptible from the facade. A signature giant clock installation pays tribute to “Counter-clockwise Clock”, giving the space a sense of time running backwards. Standing on East Nanjing Road, passers-by immediately register a musical symbol that belongs to CHOUCHOU. The building as a whole draws on the retro European Gothic aesthetic of “William’s Castle”. The period stone cladding, carved arched windows, stained glass and fireplace settings recreate the song’s fantastical castle atmosphere in physical form. Music is no longer something merely heard, it becomes a scene you can see and walk into.Inside, the narrative unfolds floor by floor. 1F, the “Star’s Living Room”, carries the retro European villa facade through to the interior, with a giant chiming clock installation, large art toy sculptures and lighting strips, complemented indoors by stained glass, a fireplace-and-sofa lounge, a central large art toy island and a blind box retail area. The floor balances shopping with photo-taking and rest, recreating the feel of a living room where fans gather. On 2F, the “CHOUCHOU Universe” stages blue nebula resin flooring, time-space photo-frame installations and happiness-making capsule pods to create a walk-through IP universe, with immersive photo spots and storytelling at its core. 3F, the “Secret Loft”, is expected to open to the public in November 2026 and is planned to house a hidden restaurant and an acoustics laboratory party space, extending the store beyond retail into community gathering.More Than 300 SKUs at Launch, with Global Debuts and City Exclusives in the SpotlightBeyond the spatial experience, the store’s product line-up is equally rich. During the opening period, the store is unveiling a first drop of more than 300 SKUs across seven categories: collectible figures and blind boxes, themed plush, trendy accessories, home and lifestyle, digital peripherals, city exclusives and cross-brand collaborations. The range covers both collectible large art toys and series blind boxes, and practical spin-offs for everyday use, delivering on the promise of “collect it, wear it, use it”.At the centre of the opening line-up are six plush series—Earphone CHOUCHOU, Poker Encounter, Football CHOUCHOU, Dim Sum Is Busy, Absolute Pitch and Milk Tea CHOUCHOU—unveiled as a surprise, each with its own distinctive theme concept and cute, playful styling, adding a younger, more comforting and more collectible note to the store’s trendy toy offer. The “Kung Fu Soccer × CHOUCHOU” collaboration series brings together the rousing spirit of sport and the CHOUCHOU character. Using trendy toys as a medium to connect with film and television culture, the series creates a new form of expression between the thrill of a sports storyline and the approachability of the IP character. Star Plus Legend's original IP MAJI DOGGIE goes on sale in a physical store for the first time, joined by IPs including WAKAEMO, further broadening the store’s IP matrix and giving consumers more characters to choose from and interact with.Also in the mix is the “Shanghai Flagship Store City Exclusive Series”, inspired by Shanghai’s urban culture and the architecture of the flagship store itself. It turns Shanghai-style motifs such as the East Nanjing Road store, the Oriental Pearl Tower and Magnolia into collectible souvenirs, so that customers can “Bring the flagship store and Shanghai memories home”. Several limited editions make their global debut during the opening period and are available only at the East Nanjing Road flagship store. From cross-brand collaborations to original IP incubation, and from city exclusives to collectible figures, the range strengthens the store’s content and gives the opening line-up greater depth and freshness, all assembled with genuine care.“One City, One Store” Strategy Kicks Off as the Offline Retail Matrix AcceleratesBeyond products, the store’s IP strategy and expansion roadmap are equally well defined. Anchored by CHOUCHOU, Jay Chou’s official anime-style IP character, the store will continue to introduce more global celebrity IPs over time, supporting multi-IP co-existence. Zhou Peimin said the flagship store operates a “One City, One Store; One City, One Custom Design” model, and will keep the space fresh with regularly updated products, themes, collaborations and cultural content, so that every visit offers new discoveries and experiences. Next, Central China's first flagship store, in Changsha, will open on September 24, followed by flagship stores in Chengdu and Guangzhou. The store network will also bring in overseas trendy IP content and work with Unitree Robotics to explore a new business track of “trendy IP + smart hardware”.For Star Plus Legend, opening its first global flagship store is both a key step in extending from IP operation into physical, on-the-ground experience and an important milestone in upgrading the offline retail matrix from robot shops and pop-up stores into flagship-store experience spaces. The opening is only the starting point. The store will keep refreshing its content around new IP releases, artist collaborations, city exclusives and offline community events, so that every visit feels new and the opening buzz turns into lasting content appeal and urban trend vitality.Zhou Peimin said the company aims to build IPs for the long term, approach business through a cultural lens and use physical space as a point of connection. Products are not simply merchandise, but part of the IP narrative; a store is not a one-off photo spot, but the beginning of an ongoing relationship between the brand and its customers. CHOUCHOU & FRIENDS’ vision is to become a world-class trendy celebrity IP platform deeply rooted in Chinese culture, connected to global creative resources and in step with the era's direction of high-quality development in the cultural sector. Using trendy IPs as a vehicle, it will tell compelling cultural stories for a new era and bring Chinese trend culture to the world.About CompanyStar Plus Legend Holdings Limited (6683.HK) was founded in 2017 and primarily focuses on IP creation and operation, leveraging IP-driven synergies to expand into AI + robotics and new consumption in the healthy lifestyle sector.

ANTWERPEN, BELGIUM, Sept 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - OMP and PwC have formed an alliance to bring unified, faster supply chain decisions to process manufacturers in life sciences, consumer goods, and chemicals. Planning in these industries runs on campaign production, long lead times, and regulatory requirements, all surfacing "too late to act on" when planning sits in separate systems. The alliance combines Unison Planning™, OMP's AI-enabled planning platform with built-in industry expertise, and PwC's implementation services.German specialty pharmaceutical company medac is already live under the alliance, with its planners working on a single demand plan in Unison Planning™. PwC and medac will present the project on October 15, 2026, at the OMP Conference in Singapore, detailing the approach behind the rollout and what it means for planning in pharma.Combining innovation, industry knowledge, and integrationOMP and PwC run each implementation as a single program. OMP brings Unison Planning™, its AI-enabled platform with built-in industry expertise, connecting to the systems that a manufacturer already runs. PwC's teams lead the implementation, acting as system integrator and working directly alongside the customer's own planners.Both organizations see the same shift across life sciences, consumer goods, and chemicals: manufacturers replacing fragmented planning with a unified end-to-end plan, and looking for a platform and an implementation team that already know their industry."Process manufacturers face the same planning constraints, whatever their size, and few have spare program capacity to absorb an implementation. That is where the combination of the platform, the industry knowledge, and an integrator who can run the program matters most," said Dieter Sleeuwaert, Senior Vice President Global Alliances at OMP.medac moves from spreadsheets to a single demand planmedac supplies specialty treatments in rheumatology, urology, hematology, and oncology to more than 90 countries, manufacturing at its own European sites. Its planning ran on a mix of spreadsheets, planning functions within its existing ERP system, and a separate tool with limited planning capability. Processes also differed by department and by geography.PwC, medac and OMP started with a focused demand planning release, resulting in an accelerated go-live for German planners ahead of the wider rollout. The remaining geographies, a supply planning layer, and a second release running in parallel with medac's SAP S/4 implementation will follow."Leading with the demand planning release and holding the solution close to standard is what made it work. That approach transfers to other companies in the sector," said Jörg Zietz, Director, Supply Chain Planning at PwC Germany.PwC and medac on stage in SingaporeDr. Karsten Gentner, Vice President Supply Chain Management and Procurement at medac, and Jörg Zietz of PwC Germany will explain how medac is building the digital backbone for a smarter, more resilient, and AI-ready pharmaceutical supply chain.

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, Sept 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Recently, Airwheel’s SE3SX Smart Rideable Cabin Suitcase has been recognized in the 2026 European Product Design Awards (EPDA), highlighting the company’s approach to integrating electric mobility, intelligent control, and luggage design into a single travel-oriented product. Listed in the Personal / Luggage: Carryon Suitcase category, the SE3SX reflects a design strategy that moves beyond conventional suitcase architecture to explore how luggage can become an active part of the travel experience.The official EPDA project description highlights the SE3SX’s integrated construction, which combines power, control, and storage systems within an aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy structure. The design also incorporates a low center of gravity, app-based remote control, and intuitive rotatable handles, connecting structural design with short-distance mobility. This recognition adds to Airwheel’s international design profile and its continued development of intelligent mobility products.Rather than treating a suitcase as a passive container, Airwheel approaches smart luggage as a combination of transportation interface, compact storage system, and connected consumer technology. The SE3SX represents this approach through a compact rideable platform designed for movement across airports, railway stations, exhibition venues, and other travel environments.From Conventional Luggage to Intelligent MobilityTraditional suitcases are designed primarily to store and transport belongings. Airwheel’s smart rideable suitcase concept extends that function by incorporating an electric drive system, rider controls, and an intelligent handle into the luggage platform.The underlying design challenge is not simply to add a motor to a suitcase. It is to coordinate propulsion, balance, structural layout, user controls, and everyday luggage functionality within a compact product. For travelers, the result is intended to offer an additional mobility option during short-distance movement, particularly when navigating large terminals, connecting between transport facilities, or crossing expansive indoor and outdoor spaces.The SE3SX was developed around this combination of mobility and travel utility. Its design brings together a rideable chassis, integrated storage, smart connectivity, and a compact form factor, allowing the product to function as both a cabin-oriented suitcase and a personal short-distance mobility device.Integrated Structural Design and Intelligent Ride ControlThe SE3SX combines its luggage body with an electric riding system, creating a unified product architecture rather than treating the mobility mechanism as a separate accessory. The official EPDA description emphasizes the integration of power, control, and storage, together with an aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy construction and a minimalist structural appearance.Under its riding configuration, the SE3SX uses a 230W brushless motor, a 5.2-inch motor-driven front wheel, and two 4-inch rear auxiliary wheels. Its electric telescopic front-wheel mechanism extends the wheelbase by 180 mm with a single touch, helping establish a more stable riding configuration. The product reaches a maximum riding speed of 9.9 km/h, supports a maximum load of 95 kg, and is designed to handle inclines of approximately 6° under specified operating conditions.The riding handle is designed to simplify the transition between riding and towing. Once extended, the handle locks into position automatically, reducing the need for repeated manual adjustments. This interaction is part of Airwheel’s broader design objective: making advanced mobility functions accessible through a familiar luggage form.A Connected Interface Through the Airwheel AppThe SE3SX extends its physical controls through a dedicated smart app, connecting the suitcase to a mobile device. The app provides access to selected riding and product-management functions, including riding speed information, battery status, cumulative mileage, speed-level adjustment, and lighting customization.Users can also access functions such as telescopic control, low-battery notifications, Bluetooth disconnection reminders, and remote-control features, depending on the applicable product configuration and software support.This digital layer positions the suitcase as more than a self-propelled luggage platform. It provides an interface through which users can interact with product settings and monitor selected operating information, bringing connected-device functionality into a travel product.For Airwheel, the objective is not to introduce technology for its own sake. The focus is on making controls more accessible, reducing unnecessary operational steps, and integrating digital functionality into a product people use during real journeys.Apple Find My Integration for Luggage Location AssistanceThe SE3SX supports integration with Apple Find My, offering users an additional way to locate and identify their suitcase through the Apple ecosystem.For travelers, luggage tracking can be particularly useful in busy terminals, transportation hubs, and other environments where multiple bags may look similar. Apple Find My integration provides a location-assistance feature within a familiar digital environment, while proximity-based sound alerts can help users identify the suitcase when it is nearby and supported by the relevant functionality.The feature complements, rather than replaces, responsible luggage handling and travel security practices. Its availability and specific capabilities depend on the Apple Find My ecosystem, device compatibility, and applicable operating conditions.Compact Cabin-Oriented Design and Removable BatteryDesigned as a 20-inch cabin-oriented smart rideable suitcase, the SE3SX measures approximately 530 × 360 × 236 mm and offers a 20-liter storage capacity. Its construction combines ABS+PC materials with an aviation-grade aluminum alloy frame, while the suitcase weighs approximately 6.6 kg excluding the portable power bank.The SE3SX is powered by a removable 73.26Wh lithium battery backed by multiple international certifications. Its detachable battery architecture is engineered to support applicable aviation transportation requirements, enabling the battery to be separated from the suitcase when necessary. By integrating certified battery technology with a removable design, Airwheel combines intelligent mobility with the practical demands of modern international travel.The SE3SX also includes a TSA-compatible lock, supporting inspection procedures where applicable. Its compact dimensions, integrated riding system, and removable battery architecture reflect the challenge of balancing mobility, storage, portability, and transport considerations within a single product.Extending the Travel Experience Through USB ConnectivityThe SE3SX incorporates a USB output interface designed to support charging for compatible everyday electronic devices. This adds a practical connectivity function to the luggage platform, allowing users to access power for devices such as smartphones and other USB-compatible electronics when supported by the product's power system.The USB interface forms part of Airwheel’s wider product philosophy: useful technology should be integrated into the travel experience without making the product unnecessarily complex. Alongside the riding system, app connectivity, and luggage functionality, the charging interface contributes to a more connected approach to personal travel equipment.Building a Broader Smart Rideable Suitcase PortfolioThe SE3SX is part of Airwheel’s broader smart rideable suitcase portfolio, which includes products designed for different travel requirements, user groups, and mobility scenarios.The SE3SX Smart Carry on Rideable Cabin Suitcase combines a 20-liter cabin-oriented format with electric riding, app connectivity, Apple Find My integration, and an integrated luggage design. It is positioned within Airwheel’s premium smart travel product range.The SE3SXD AI Luxury Suitcase introduces a next-generation automatic riding configuration, with one-touch deployment of its front wheel and riding handle. Its design explores more automated interaction between the user and the suitcase.The SE3SL+ Airport Boarding Suitcase combines electric riding with app connectivity, USB charging, and location-tracking functionality, supporting users who frequently move through airports and other short-distance travel environments.The SE3T AI Wheel Suitcase provides a larger-capacity format for users who require additional storage space during longer trips and family travel.The SE3MiniT Electric Hand Suitcase focuses on a compact, lightweight format for short-distance mobility and everyday travel scenarios.The SQ3S Kids Suitcase is designed for family travel, combining a rideable luggage format with speed-limiting features intended for children.Together, these products demonstrate Airwheel’s effort to apply electric drive, intelligent control, and product-specific design approaches across different luggage formats. The portfolio is not built around a single type of traveler; it explores how smart mobility can be adapted to varying travel distances, storage requirements, and user needs.Continued Investment in Intelligent Mobility TechnologiesAirwheel’s development of smart rideable luggage forms part of a wider focus on intelligent mobility and human-machine interaction. The company’s technology areas include motion control algorithms, electric drive systems, intelligent sensing, and structural design.With more than 600 global patents, Airwheel continues to develop products across smart mobility and connected travel categories. Its portfolio includes self-balancing vehicles, electric scooters, smart folding bikes, smart wheelchairs, and smart rideable suitcases.The SE3SX illustrates this product-development direction through the combination of an electric propulsion system, integrated structural design, connected controls, and a compact luggage platform. Its recognition in the 2026 European Product Design Awards reflects the relevance of bringing these design and engineering considerations together within a consumer travel product.As smart mobility technology continues to develop, Airwheel is exploring how intelligent functions can be incorporated into everyday products without losing sight of usability, portability, and practical travel requirements.The Airwheel’s broader objective is to make mobility technology more accessible in daily life, bringing together design, engineering, and intelligent interaction to create products that help people move through their journeys with greater flexibility.Media ContactCompany: AirwheelContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://www.airwheel.net Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Sept 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Cheche Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CCG) is looking beyond its core mobility business as it explores residential energy storage under a broader “Green Mobility + Green Energy” strategy.The company recently announced a proposed strategic investment in Long Way Fortune, a residential solar-and-storage business operating in Australia and Singapore. EnergyLIB is the residential energy brand associated with the business, according to company materials.For EnergyLIB, the focus is on a part of the storage market where hardware is only one piece of the equation. Its model combines residential battery systems with local distribution, installation support and after-sales service, with energy-management services planned as an additional layer.The business is focused on the household market. Its product portfolio includes modular battery systems and hybrid inverters designed for both retrofits to existing rooftop solar systems and new solar-plus-storage installations, with capacity that can be expanded over time.The product lineup emphasizes modular construction, simpler installation, quieter operation and clear user interfaces. Safety functions include cell-level monitoring, pack-level fault isolation and system-level protection, although specifications vary by product, installation conditions and applicable testing.The more important part of EnergyLIB’s strategy may be what happens after the equipment is sold. The business plans to expand into five countries during 2027, supported by local warehousing, sales and after-sales operations, as well as partnerships with distributors, installers and retailers.That local infrastructure matters in residential storage because installers and homeowners depend on more than product availability. Installation support, access to replacement parts and ongoing servicing can shape both the customer experience and installer confidence.EnergyLIB is also working on standardized commissioning procedures and equipment service records, while using feedback from installation and service teams to inform product improvements.The next phase is aimed at energy management.EnergyLIB is developing functions that would combine household electricity consumption, solar generation, weather, tariff information and battery operating data. The aim is to manage trade-offs between electricity costs, backup requirements and battery usage according to household preferences.For Cheche, the proposed investment points to a possible expansion from mobility into a broader household-energy ecosystem spanning storage hardware, local service and energy management.For now, the strategic link is broader: residential storage sits alongside mobility within Cheche’s “Green Mobility + Green Energy” strategy, while any specific integration remains to be developed.

The licences are included within two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AngloGold Ashanti).HIGHLIGHTS Upgrading of two Nevertire South porphyry complexes for continued step out, infill and down dip drilling: 2026 activities upgraded two large composite volcanic-intrusive complexes within the wider Nevertire Magmatic Complex with copper and gold grades suggestive of proximity to porphyry system centres. Both are priorities for follow up drilling.Four scout holes drilled, four potential new complexes at the southern strike of Nevertire South: New province-scale potential supported with four scout holes providing continuity of the volcanics and intrusions in a wider north-south belt. Prospective strike >40km.Scout drilling resumed at Nyngan: Five to eight planned holes across two targets with drilling ongoing (the Ace of Spades and Gerar targets).Strong partnership and commercial alignment: The Nyngan and Nevertire South licences form part of two earn-in and joint venture agreements with AngloGold Ashanti. AngloGold Ashanti has the right to invest up to A$100 million across a total of five adjacent licences within Kincora's NJNB portfolio, covering a continuous strike greater than 100km. Kincora currently manages the programs and receives a 10% management fee on expenditures.John Holliday, Technical Committee chair, and Peter Leaman, VP of Exploration, commented:"Drilling at Nevertire South this year has advanced our discovery of new Macquarie Arc porphyry copper-gold mineralisation. The results of highly anomalous copper associated with porphyry veining in hole NEDD011 confirm this. These could be the discovery indicators of a large porphyry system centred laterally or deeper.In parallel, initial scout drilling across the wider licence provides continuation of the volcanic and intrusive units interpreted to be similar to the Nevertire Magmatic Complex. This supports our thesis that the Macquarie Arc continues across a prospective strike of more than 40 kilometres and provides the potential for multiple large new porphyry system complexes.Large intrusive complexes within world-class porphyry belts can host multiple deposits. To have established this scale of opportunity within the first year of drilling at Nevertire South is a significant outcome and provides multiple high-priority opportunities for follow-up drilling."NEVERTIRE AND NEVERTIRE SOUTH PROJECTSKincora has two earn-in and joint ventures with AngloGold Ashanti covering a continuous strike of greater than 100km, including five licences (Nevertire, Nevertire South, Nyngan, Nyngan South and Mulla licences), within the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc.Figure 1: Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti have partnered to explore new district-scale undercover extensions of the world-class Macquarie Arc in the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt via two earn-in and joint venture agreements, currently aggressively drilling large greenfield targets Kincora has a portfolio of seven projects in NSW, including managing two earn-in programs with AngloGold Ashanti, receiving a 10% management fee on expenditures, and covering a continuous 100km strike across 5 adjacent licencesTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_fig%201.jpgTarget Specific Drilling at NevertireFollowing the April 2025 amended and second earn-in agreement with AngloGold Ashanti 1, a first phase drilling program commenced at both the Nevertire and Nevertire South licences in 2H'2025.The program benefited from unimpeded access across the consolidated ~8 x 12km wide Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC) and was designed to follow up two prior favourable drill results historically reported by Newcrest Mining and the most northern drilled holes at the NMC.Newcrest holes ACDNY005 and ACDNY006 were drilled ~2.7km apart, in the central portion of the NMC, and returned "lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla (Northparkes) porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 2. Kincora's relogging of these holes, led by technical director John Holliday, supported this interpretation.Figure 2: Positive results at Nevertire South support new province-scale potential intersecting multiple interpreted new intrusive system complexes to the south with scout recommenced at the Nyngan licence To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%202.jpgKincora drilling commenced in 3Q'2025 and has focused on: (i) following up the prior Newcrest holes; and, (ii) geophysics followed by scout drilling across the southern strike seeking to confirm Macquarie Arc rocks.To date, 24 holes for 10,379.7 metres have utilised cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the relatively soft post mineral cover sequence, followed by NQ3 diamond core drilling of the porphyry-prospective basement. All holes intersected basement and are interpreted to have returned Macquarie Arc rocks.Drill results have been very encouraging, providing strong vectors, upgrading the immediate target zone, supporting Newcrest's previous interpretation and reaffirming the Company's view that the NMC is the most geologically prospective porphyry project in the northern covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc.Favourable alteration and porphyry-style veining was observed in 2025 drilling, with copper, gold and pathfinder element geochemistry. Drilling in 2026 has returned often higher grades and broader intervals; upgrading two interpreted separate intrusive systems within the wider NMC for follow up drilling with vectors suggestive of increasing proximity to a porphyry system centres (see Figure 6). The results of highly anomalous copper associated with porphyry veining in hole NEDD011 are particularly noteworthy and could be the discovery indicators of a large porphyry system centred laterally or deeper.Further step out drilling is proposed, before infill and deeper drilling, see Figures 4-6. Figure 7 includes photos of select core and further description on the northern and southern interpreted complexes within the larger NMC, including NEDD011.Figure 3: 2025/26 drilling reaffirm Kincora's view that the NMC is the most advanced and geologically prospective porphyry project in the covered northern extensions of the Macquarie Arc offering multiple discovery potential To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%203.jpgAdvancing New Macquarie Arc Porphyry Complexes As previously announced, following encouraging initial visual observations, follow-up geophysical surveys commenced in 2H'2025, together with a review of prior explorer drilling results and ground gravity survey data 3.A gravity survey covering ~110km² was completed and integrated with legacy gravity data-sets, totaling ~148km², acquired by prior explorers. A further survey of ~32km² is scheduled for late September expanding the infill coverage to the north-west and into the Nevertire licence.Four scout holes were since completed by Kincora across a 15km strike, the closest being over 20km from the nearest drill hole of Newcrest's, testing the southern section of the Nevertire South licence along the wider north-south trending magnetic anomaly. All are interpreted to have intersected Macquarie Arc rocks (confirmationary lithogeochemistry and age dating pending).These activities have resulted in a material increase in the prospective search space across the Nevertire and Nevertire South licences, supporting a total prospective strike of greater than 40km, representing a greater than 5x increase relative to the drill strike extent across the wider NMC which in itself hosts two target systems - see Figure 4.Kincora is working with AngloGold Ashanti to plan a systematic exploration approach for the 2027 field season to advance this new potentially province-scale opportunity at Nevertire. This work includes, among other elements, acquisition of ground gravity data to assist in defining potential intrusions within the volcanic host rocks (Figure 3), and, defining and ranking distinct packages and domains with appropriate programs to advance this large-scale pipeline. In the meantime, scout drilling has recommenced and is ongoing at the Nyngan project.Figure 4: Drilling in the northern section of Nevertire South has returned highly encouraging results across two interpreted new intrusive system complexes Plan view of drilling since 2H'2025, with the corresponding cross and long sections provided in Figures 5 & 6. Results are consistent with Newcrest's prior interpretation that the project hosts lithologies, alteration and veining characteristic of a setting comparable to Macquarie Arc porphyry systems such as Cadia-Ridgeway and Northparkes 4To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%204.jpgFigure 5: Following significant encouragement from hole NEDD011 in the Northern Nevertire Magmatic Complex, initial step out drilling has targeted ~300-metre spacing.

Drilling by Kincora has returned encouraging copper and gold assay results, together with lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with this conceptual framework, supporting its relevance 4.Figure 7: Vectors for step-out, infill and down dipping drilling at the Northern and Southern Nevertire Magmatic ComplexesDetailed core photography of selected portions of 2026 drilling, showing a range of mineralisation and alteration types from mineralised intervals within the middle-northern section of the Nevertire South licenceTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/315359_figure%206.jpgSee Tables 1-4 for additional geological descriptions, peak and significant assay resultsNorthern Nevertire Magmatic Complex Follow up drilling is proposed at the intrusive complex interpreted to host holes NEDD007, NEDD011, NEDD013, NEDD014 and ACDNY006, amongst others. The confirmed Phase 4 age complex has returned broad and localised higher-grade copper, gold, molybdenum with strong pathfinders. Of particular note was hole NEDD011 which intersected increasing intrusive complexity (monzonite porphyry, diorite, breccias) and the appearance of B-type quartz veins with centreline magnetite ± chalcopyrite and locally elevated pyrite (observations of ~10-15%) mark the transition into a more prospective porphyry environment. The last hundred metres of the hole returned intensified veining, aplite dykes, brecciation, and patchy K-feldspar/hematite ± possible biotite alteration, with trace chalcopyrite and minor molybdenum/zinc indications, representing developing interpreted potassic vectors. The progressive increase in vein density, sulphide, magnetic response and intrusive intensity downhole suggests the hole may be vectoring toward a deeper porphyry (mineralised) core not yet intersected.Following the encouragement of NEDD011, and subtle finger intrusions towards the end of hole in NEDD011 and NEDD007, initial step out drilling targeting a 300-metre search space was undertaken. Given returned assay results coupled with encouraging geological observations, including (local) increase in trace molybdenite-bornite±covellite. Further step out drilling is proposed, before infill and deeper drilling at this complex.Image 1.

The confirmed Phase 4 age complex has returned broad and localised higher-grade copper and gold, with strong pathfinders. Secondary biotite-actinolite, disseminated magnetite, quartz-chalcopyrite veining (with localised stockwork) and sulphide-bearing epidote veins, together with a chalcopyrite over pyrite sulphide ratio, and trace bornite and molybdenum, is interpreted as being diagnostic of inner-propylitic to potassic transitional positions in zoned porphyry copper-gold systems.Mineralised B-veining, together with quartz monzonite porphyry fingers, pebble dykes, intense quartz-sericite-pyrite and K-feldspar alteration, crackle breccias, trace bornite provides further encouragement. Such features provide vectors to an interpreted proximal lateral or down dip causative intrusive centre and potential core.Image 15.

Higher-grade internal intervals (≥0.10 g/t Au and/or ≥0.10% Cu) are reported as discrete internal intervals. Grades are downhole length-weighted averages with no top-cuts applied. Pathfinder elements are reported where their length-weighted average over the reported interval meets or exceeds thresholds considered indicative of porphyry-style mineral systems (Ag ≥0.1 ppm; As ≥15 ppm; Bi ≥1 ppm; Te ≥1 ppm; Tl ≥1.5 ppm; Sb ≥4 ppm; W ≥7 ppm; Mo ≥20 ppm; Zn ≥0.1%; Pb ≥0.1%; S ≥1%). These intervals are not intended to represent economic cut-offs or resource grades but highlight zones of geological and hydrothermal significance within an evolving porphyry-style system. Reported basement-to-end-of-hole lengths are total assayed length and may be less than the cored interval reported in Tables 1 and 4 where core loss or unsampled ground occurs (NEDD016 0.05m, NEDD017 1.65m, NEDD018 2.56m).Table 4: Nevertire-Nevertire South: Summary of mud rotary-diamond drillingHoles completed 2026HoleTargetTotal Depth(m)MudRotary(m)DiamondCore(m)CoreRecovery(%)Dip(°)Azimuth(° true)Easting(MGA)Northing(MGA)Elevation(AHDm)NEDD010Nevertire399.4266.6132.8100-70675544916489453190NEDD011Nevertire588.4275.6312.899.8-70675552516489500190NEDD012Nevertire390.5260.6129.9100-70675543376489948190NEDD013Nevertire401.5251.6149.998.2-70675543006488792190NEDD014Nevertire480.5269.7210.898.3-753505552526489203190NEDD015Nevertire600.6257.7342.999.9-75655554316489744190NEDD016Nevertire477.9257.7220.2100-75655549706489595190NEDD017Nevertire401.7236.6165.195.4-70455539526488011190NEDD018Nevertire462.5288.6173.996.7-702705565926488121190NEDD019Nevertire516.2215.9300.399.8-70605567926486882190NEDD020Nevertire555.5263.6291.9100-70405575676485428195NEDD021Nevertire South324.6188.9135.798.5-702105566386483672195NEDD022Nevertire South346.4221.9124.596.0-653205549326475177195NEDD023Nevertire South324.6147.0177.698.3-652705491516462911195NEDD024Nevertire South336.6167.9168.7NA-702705505506467510195NEDD025Nevertire South318.4221.896.6NA-653205450986474618195Total 6925.33791.73133.6 ABOUT THE NJNB PROJECT PORTFOLIO The Macquarie Arc has seen significant recent corporate activity with over A$16 billion of M&A for producing porphyry assets and over A$385 million of exploration earn-in/joint ventures 5. The district has seen considerable exploration success, including two greater than 10Moz gold equivalent discoveries/resource expansions 6 and an emerging gold discovery by Waratah Resources at the Spur project 7 and LinQ Minerals at the southern zone of the Gilmore project 8.Despite regional magnetics effectively mapping the Macquarie Arc volcanic belts, due to the post mineral cover, there has been very limited prior drilling of the extensions of both the Junee-Narromine and Molong volcanic belts relative to the southern more outcropping sections which hosts a number of world-class deposits and mines (e.g. Cadia, Cowal and Northparkes).Kincora's portfolio and the wider NJNB offers new district-scale discovery potential with spatial and temporal settings, coupled with magnetics, gravity and new Ambient Noise Tomography surveys, supportive of large-scale targets analogous to porphyry deposits located in the southern section of the Arc. To date over A$30 million of exploration supports this geological interpretation.In 2Q'2025, AngloGold Ashanti signed a major amendment with Kincora to include a second joint venture supporting a continuous strike greater than 100km and five licences. To date Kincora has drilled a total of 43 holes for 17,620 metres in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti across three licences.About KincoraKincora Copper Limited (ASX: KCC) (TSXV: KCC) is an emerging Australia-focused gold-copper explorer with a hybrid project generator strategy.The Company is successfully proving up the prospectivity of its extensive project portfolio, which includes multiple district-scale landholdings and scalable drill ready targets. These assets are located in Australia's Lachlan Fold Belt, one of the globe's leading porphyry belts, and the historical Condobolin mining field within the Cobar basin in NSW.The Company has already unlocked over A$100 million of potential partner funding for multiple earlier stage and/or non-core porphyry projects. These initial deals have supported over 20,000 metres of drilling and over A$10m of partner funded exploration since late 2024, with management fees and exploration ramping up.Various partner discussions are ongoing for its remaining 100% owned flagship and advanced exploration stage porphyry projects.By having a significant portfolio of partner funded large porphyry projects, and a very focused capital efficient programs at the Condobolin and other sole funded projects, the Company is seeking to position Kincora as a leading institutional grade explorer in the public Australian and Canadian markets, and the leading project generator on the ASX.The Company's website is: www.kincoracopper.com Kincora is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information as disclosed to the originally sighted references:1 Kincora press release Apr 14, 2025, "Second Major Earn-in Secured with AngloGold Ashanti"2 Open file annual report for former EL6337 by Newcrest Mining 20083 Kincora press releases Aug 25, 2025, "Positive drilling results at two Northern Junee-Narromine Belt projects", and, February 10, 2026, "Exploration Expands And Upgrades Nevertire With Drilling Recommenced"4 Information disclosed for Cadia-Ridgeway is not necessarily indicative for the NMC or other deposits/systems in the Macquarie Arc but provided to illustrate the generally discrete alteration and mineralisation footprints of Macquarie Arc "pencil" or "finger" porphyry systems.

SAN DIEGO, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) congratulates the U.S. Air Force (USAF) on the pace of progress for its Collaborative Combat Aircraft program, which features the FQ-42 Vengeance designed and produced by GA-ASI. The latest milestone took place Sept. 18, when a new FQ-42 Vengeance was delivered to Creech AFB, Nev., to continue operations with test and evaluation units."The CCA program's rate of progress has been incredible," said Mike Atwood, GA-ASI Vice President of Advanced Programs. "Every week, the Air Force is pushing forward with new and more impressive accomplishments using Vengeance. It's amazing to think of how far this program has come in such a short amount of time."The FQ-42 that arrived at Creech will continue regular test and evaluation operations with the Air Force aimed at experimentation with the new aircraft. Previous efforts with Vengeance and other GA-ASI jets, including XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station and MQ-20 Avenger® - have found the trio of combat jets flying in various scenarios that push the boundaries of combat aviation. GA-ASI's jets have flown semi-autonomously and autonomously with various AI pilots and under collaborative control of human fighter pilots operating F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II jets.FQ-42 Vengeance, a 5th-generation uncrewed fighter with an internal weapons bay and other features designed for low observability and increased survivability, has flown formation flights alongside F-35 and F-15E Strike Eagle in preparation for collaborative control operations with manned aircraft. Those experiments will replicate company demonstrations previously flown by GA-ASI using MQ-20 as a CCA surrogate to advance CCA operations in parallel to the primary U.S. Air Force development program.GA-ASI was selected by USAF in April 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. FQ-42 Vengeance made its maiden flight in August 2025 and was selected in June 2026 for an initial production contract. GA-ASI has completed a new low-observable paint facility to support CCA production, and the company is currently positioned to deliver six aircraft per month to meet USAF goals, with more manufacturing space available to respond to additional orders.Production of FQ-42 Vengeance is underway on company investment as government funding plans mature, with GA-ASI continuing its longstanding tradition of working at-risk with its own funds to support U.S. procurement planning and prevent delays in delivery. GA-ASI plans to build multiple fighters for its own company aircraft fleet, to invest in inventing new technologies that reduce risk and increase capabilities for its global customers.XQ-67A and FQ-42 represent two customer-delivered examples of GA-ASI's Gambit Series of next-generation combat jets. The modular design of the Gambit Series enables rapid integration of new systems, weapons and autonomy software, allowing customers to quickly pivot the platform to new missions without significant redesign.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. Avenger has been used extensively by GA-ASI as a test bed aircraft for CCA development. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with the Air Force Research Laboratory, is a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for the FQ-42 Vengeance program.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of eight new drill holes recently completed at its 100%-owned O'Brien Gold Project ("O'Brien" or the "Project") located in the Abitibi region of Québec. The eight holes form part of two clusters of drill holes based on pilot holes and wedge branches that are serving to delineate an important system of high-grade mineralization in multiple quartz-sulphide-gold veins over a now 1,000-metre vertical interval beneath the former O'Brien Gold Mine. These results are the latest from the Company's ongoing 140,000-metre step-out drill program designed to test the full scope of gold mineralization at the Project.All eight drill holes reported today returned significant gold mineralization. Highlights (Figure 1 and Table 1) include:OB-26-385W5 intersected 68.24 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au") over 6.20 metres (core lengths) including 384.01 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and including 28.68 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (residual intercept grade of 2.48 g/t Au);OB-26-385W8 intersected 27.27 g/t Au over 3.3 metres including 72.40 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.49 g/t Au), and 3.90 g/t Au over 9.3 metres including 6.10 g/t Au over 2.0 metres and including 5.78 g/t Au over 1.2 metres (residual intercept grade of 2.81 g/t Au), and 8.35 g/t Au over 4.0 metres including 16.10 g/t Au over 1.5 metres (residual intercept grade of 3.7 g/t Au);OB-25-378W4 intersected 8.14 g/t Au over 5.50 metres including 11.52 g/t Au over 3.70 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.19 g/t Au);OB-26-385W7 intersected 18.13 g/t Au over 2.0 metres including 34.91 g/t Au over 1.0 metre (residual intercept grade of 1.35 g/t Au); andOB-25-378W5 intersected 3.90 g/t Au over 9.3 metres including 16.84 g/t Au over 1.4 metres (residual intercept grade of 1.60 g/t Au) and 4.00 g/t Au over 4.60 metres.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "Since the beginning of our deep step-out drilling program at O'Brien in late 2024, we have enjoyed consistent success in expanding the scope of mineralization beyond the former mine and the historical mineral resources. Of the 128 drill holes completed during this period,106 have returned drill intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with our mineral resources. This is an impressive 83% "hit" rate (Table 2), and we report every hole completed. We continue to see a consistent pattern of high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold veins within broader, mineralized alteration halos. These mineralized zones form parallel vein packages within the host Piché Group rocks, with good continuity across adjacent drill holes and over significant distances. The two clusters of new drill results reported today are delineating the important "O'Brien Mine East" trend at its top, immediately below the former mine workings, and extending it downwards at up to 2 kilometres vertical depth. In our reporting of drill results, as with today's news, we show the grade of the full interval across the mineralized zone (in core lengths at a 1 g/t Au bottom cut-off) and the "including" interval representing the high-grade quartz-sulphide-gold vein within the zone. The intercept's residual grade, which represents grade in the alteration halo, is typically between 1 g/t Au and 4 g/t Au. These patterns are all demonstrated reliably in today's results. O'Brien is clearly a large scale and increasingly predictable gold mineralizing system. Drilling is ongoing with eight rigs active at the Project."Figure 1: Longitudinal Vertical Section and Plan View of Gold Vein Mineralization and Mineral Resources at the O'Brien Gold Project, with Today's Drill Holes IllustratedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_f60ab4e7747e2ba4_001full.jpgGold Mineralization at O'BrienGold mineralizing quartz-sulphide veins at O'Brien occur within a thin band of interlayered mafic volcanic rocks, conglomerates, and porphyritic andesitic sills of the Piché Group occurring in contact with the east-west oriented Larder Lake-Cadillac Break ("LLCB"). Gold, along with pyrite and arsenopyrite, is typically associated with shearing and a pervasive biotite alteration, and developed within multiple Piché Group lithologies and, occasionally, the hanging-wall Pontiac and footwall Cadillac meta-sedimentary rocks.As mapped at the historic O'Brien mine, and now replicated in the modern drilling, individual veins are generally narrow, ranging from several centimetres up to several metres in thickness and are associated with broader, mineralized alteration envelopes. Multiple veins occur sub-parallel to each other, as well as sub-parallel to the Piché lithologies and the LLCB. Individual veins have well-established lateral continuity, with steeply plunging grade shoots developed over significant lengths. The historic O'Brien mine produced over half a million ounces of gold from such veins and shoots at an average grade exceeding 15 g/t Au and over a vertical extent of at least 1,000 metres. Modern exploration has focussed on delineating well-developed vein mineralization below and to the east of the historic mine. Based on the historic data available, it is clear that the former mine was "high-graded", with mining focused on a main central stope and parallel veins identified but left undeveloped.Figure 2: Visible gold in OB-26-385W5 yielding 384.01 g/t Au over 1.0 metre between 1,514.2 metres and 1,515.2 metres, within a broader intercept averaging 68.24 g/t Au over 6.2 Metres between 1,511 metres and 1,517.2 metresTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissonenfiguretwo.jpgTable 1: Assay Results Calculated at a 3 g/t Au Bottom Cut-Off from Drill Holes Published TodayTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontableone.jpgNotes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts:The O'Brien Gold Project Mineral Resource Estimate effective January 31, 2026 utilizes a 2.20 g/t Au bottom cut-off, a US$2,500 gold price, a minimum mining width of 1.2 metres, and a 60 g/t Au upper cap on individual assays. Intercepts presented in Table 1 are calculated with a 3.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off. Sample grades are uncapped. True widths, based on depth of intercept and drill hole inclination, are estimated to be 30-80% of core length. Table 3 presents additional drill intercepts calculated with a 1.00 g/t Au bottom cut-off over a minimum 1.0 metre core length so as to illustrate the frequency and continuity of mineralized intervals within which high-grade gold veins at O'Brien are developed. Lithology Codes: PON-S3: Pontiac Sediments; V3-S, V3-N, V3-CEN: Basalt-South, North, Central; S1P, S3P: Conglomerate and Greywackes; POR-S, POR-N: Porphyry South, North; TX: Crystal Tuff; ZFLLC: Larder Lake-Cadillac Fault Zone.Step-Out Drilling at O'BrienSince the end of 2024, Radisson has been pursuing a program of broad step-outs beneath the historic O'Brien Gold mine and the existing mineral resources designed to test the extent of gold mineralization at the Project. This drilling is accomplished with pilot holes followed by wedges and directional drilling to maximize drill efficiency and minimize costs. In October 2025, Radisson announced the expansion of the step-out drill program to 140,000 metres employing eight drill rigs (see Radisson news release dated October 16, 2025).The origin of the step-out drill program was the deep pilot hole OB-24-337, which was the first exploration drill hole located below the former mine workings since mining ended in 1957. This hole intersected 31.24 g/t Au over 8.0 metres, including 242.0 g/t Au over 1.0 m at approximately 1,500 metres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated December 16, 2024). Fifteen wedge branches were completed from OB-24-337 delineating up to eight gold-bearing veins over a 250-metre by 700-metre area in what is referred to as "O'Brien Mine East" (see Radisson news release dated February 12, 2026). In March 2026, Radisson published an interim update in the Project's mineral resources, showing meaningful growth based on the on-going drilling (see Radisson news release dated March 2, 2026).The focus of the step-out drill program has been the extension of mineralization at depth, with an exploration floor of 2 kilometres depth, and recently announced plans to extend this drilling to 2.5 kilometres depth (see Radisson news release dated May 28, 2026). Given the character of neighbouring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, Radisson believes that significant exploration potential exists to these depths, and such mineralization might reasonably be expected to be developed. Drilling has recently confirmed the extension of the "Trend 1" zone of mineralization to 1.9 kilometres vertical depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026).In addition to the progressively deeper drilling, the 140,000-metre program includes targeting of areas within the O'Brien geological model that have not previously been tested and offer the potential for additional mineral resources at shallower depths. Positive drill results have recently been reported from the "Trend 1-Trend 2 Gap" at approximately 500 and 1,000 metres vertical depth, demonstrating continuity of mineralization across what were previously thought to be discrete mineralization trends (see Radisson news release dated June 1, 2026 and September 2, 2026).The eight new drill holes at the Project reported today continue to demonstrate the very high incidence of intercepts with grades and thicknesses consistent with the Project's mineral resources ("hits", per Table 2). This now stands at 83% of all drill holes completed to date, an impressive result for a step-out drill program specifically targeting non-resource areas (Figure 4). Mineralization remains open in every direction, with clear opportunities to expand the quantity of new mineral resources, in particular by drilling at depth.Figure 3: Vertical Section Through "O'Brien Mine East" with Today's New Drill ResultsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissonfigurethree.jpgFigure 4: Deep Step-Out Drill Holes Completed and/or Published by the Company Since March 2026To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_f60ab4e7747e2ba4_008full.jpgTable 2: Drill Results Published for the O'Brien Gold Project Since December 2024Date of PublicationTotal Number ofDrill HolesDrill Holes withIntercepts >+3g/tSuccessRate (%)September 21, 202688100%September 2, 202666100%July 7, 202633100%June 22, 2026-O'Brien55100%June 22, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac2150%June 1, 20267686%April 30, 2026-O'Brien77100%April 30, 2026-Thompson-Cadillac9222%January 27, 202677100%January 6, 20266583%October 28, 2025151387%September 8, 2025151387%July 16, 2025141179%April 2, 202533100%February 26, 2025201575%December 16, 202411100%Total12810683% Table 3: Detailed Assay Results Calculated at a 1 g/t Au Bottom Cut-Off from Drill Holes Published Today (see "Notes on Calculation of Drill Intercepts")To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethree.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethreeb.jpgTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablethreec.jpgTable 4: Drill Hole Collar Information for Drill Holes Published TodayTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10977/315120_radissontablefour.jpgNotes: Hole lengths for wedges represent meterage from point of wedge. Collar position is reported for pilot hole.QA/QCAll drill core in this campaign is NQ in size. Assays were completed on sawn half-core, with the second half retained in the core box for future reference. Geologists mark cut lines on the core perpendicular to the foliation. The half on the right side of the saw blade is bagged for the laboratory and the left half is retained as reference. Sample bags are sealed, placed in rice sacks, plastic-wrapped on pallets, and held in a secure facility until pick-up by the laboratory's dedicated truck.Samples are delivered to MSALABS' analytical laboratory in Val-d'Or, Québec, for preparation and gold analysis. The entire sample is dried and crushed (70% passing a 2-millimetre sieve) and split to 500 g. Gold analysis is performed on an approximately 500 g aliquot (a single jar) using Chrysos PhotonAssay technology. Mineralized zones containing visible gold, plus additional intervals selected at the discretion of the logging geologist, are analyzed to extinction, whereby the entire sample is split into multiple ~500 g jars, each jar is analyzed by PhotonAssay, and the weighted average of the results is used for reporting. A one-metre sample typically requires five jars.Certified reference materials (CRMs), blank samples, and reject duplicates are inserted for quality assurance and quality control. Either a CRM, a blank, or a duplicate is inserted during regular sampling at a rate of 1 per 25 samples, with the insertion rate increased for intervals selected for assay to extinction. Four different CRMs are in use with an appropriate range of certified grades suited for O'Brien mineralization. Jars of CRM material are stored at the laboratory and inserted into the sample stream as directed by Radisson. The CRMs were selected by Radisson in accordance with Chrysos Corporation's best-practice guidelines for PhotonAssay. Blanks consist of commercially obtained crushed quartzite known to be barren of gold. Samples returning results greater than 1 g/t Au are also fire assayed.MSALABS operates under ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, utilizing industry-standard QA/QC frameworks for gold analysis. Through the integration of blanks, duplicates, and CRMs into its workflow, the laboratory adheres to established benchmarks that ensure precise, reliable, and verifiable results.QP DisclosureDisclosure of a scientific or technical nature in this news release was prepared under the supervision of Mr. Richard Nieminen, P.Geo, (QC), a geological consultant for Radisson and a Qualified Person for purposes of NI 43-101.

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CTF Life today launched Sky Leap 88 Savings Insurance Plan (the “Plan”), a comprehensive wealth management solution integrating wealth accumulation, flexible asset allocation and intergenerational legacy planning. Featuring dual 8% enhancement advantages^, the Plan offers customers greater potential for wealth accumulation and value enhancement. By attaching the “Value Enhance Option”1 and prepaying the basic plan premium in full, customers can enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of at least 8% and up to 10%*. The option also enhances the Total Policy Value and shortens both the Guaranteed Breakeven Period and Projected Breakeven Period by one year#, helping customers reach breakeven sooner. The Plan also incorporates a range of distinctive product features and policy services, including the special-in-market2 8% “Legacy Compassion Benefit”3, “Wealth Accumulation Switching Option”4, “Policy Split Option”5, “Flexible policy value withdrawal arrangements” and “Life Event Option”6. Together, these product features and services help customers accumulate wealth steadily, manage asset allocation and policy value withdrawals, and plan their legacy with greater flexibility, enabling both wealth and care to be passed on to the next generations.The Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau noted in the Secretary’s Blog that US$83 trillion in private wealth is expected to be transferred across generations globally over the next two to three decades7. As wealth succession today goes beyond asset allocation, CTF Life is launching Sky Leap 88 Savings Insurance Plan to help customers address both wealth accumulation and legacy-planning needs.Betty Lee, Chief Product Officer of CTF Life, said: “True legacy goes beyond preserving or passing on wealth. It is about entrusting the fruits of years of effort and our aspirations for future generations with confidence and care. That vision inspired the creation of Sky Leap 88. Backed by CTF Life’s prudent dividend philosophy and financial strength, the Plan helps customers balance wealth accumulation and preservation while laying a strong foundation for building a well-structured, long-term legacy roadmap for the generations to come.”She continued: “We firmly believe a policy proves its true value by consistently delivering on its promises. Even amid market volatility, we pursue long-term wealth growth potential for customers through prudent investment strategy, empowering them to pursue their life goals at every stage with greater confidence through our savings insurance plans. Reflecting this commitment, our three signature product series8 have achieved a 100% or more fulfilment ratio for ten consecutive years9. We also maintained a non-guaranteed accumulation interest rate of 4.25% p.a. on participating USD policies for 14 consecutive years10. These results demonstrate our consistency and reliability in delivering on return commitments to customers over the long term and embody our steadfast commitment to creating value beyond insurance.”Key features and policy services of the Plan include:1.“Value Enhance Option”1: By attaching the “Value Enhance Option”1 and prepaying the basic plan premium in full in advance, customers can enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of at least 8% and up to 10%*. The Guaranteed Cash Value and Total Policy Value will also be enhanced throughout the policy term. Compared with a policy under the regular premium payment mode without the “Value Enhance Option”1, it shortens both the Guaranteed Breakeven Period and Projected Breakeven Period by one year#, and can achieve a projected internal rate of return of 6.5% by the 20th Policy Year#, helping customers reach guaranteed breakeven sooner.2.“Wealth Accumulation Switching Option”4: Starting from the 10th policy anniversary, customers can flexibly choose the value ratio of “Stable Asset Account”11 through three special-in-market2 Switching Options with artisanal design (including “Advance”, “Balanced” and “Conservative”). Customers can match the option to their needs at different life stages, balancing wealth accumulation opportunities with prudent asset management.3.Multiple innovative legacy planning solutions: Customers can use the “Policy Split Option”5 to allocate a portion of the Units from a basic plan to a separate Split Policy. Combined with other policy services, including unlimited changes of Insured12 with protection period covering until the new Insured reaches age 128, and the “Policy Continuation Option”13 and Policy Custody Value-added Service13, the Plan gives customers flexibility to deploy and plan a comprehensive legacy roadmap.4.Special-in-market2 “Legacy Compassion Benefit”3: Following each successful exercise of the “Policy Continuation Option”13, a “Legacy Compassion Benefit”3 will be payable on the next Policy Anniversary falling three years after the relevant policy continuation effective date. The benefit equals 8% of the Guaranteed Cash Value as at the time the option is exercised, adding extra value to intergenerational legacy planning.5.Flexible policy value withdrawal arrangements: Customers can set up one-time or regular withdrawal instructions for direct payment to designated payee(s)14. Starting from the second policy anniversary, they can withdraw up to 6% of the Total Premiums Paid each year15 until policy maturity, giving them a flexible cash flow to meet diverse needs.6.Flexible settlement options for Death Benefit16 / Full Surrender17: Customers can choose to pay the Death Benefit to beneficiaries through a lump-sum payment, regular instalment payments, increasing instalment payments or customised payments. Once the policy has been in force for five years, customers who fully surrender the policy can receive the payment as a lumpsum, or at regular or increasing instalments, tailoring legacy and financial planning to individual and family needs.7.“Life Event Option”6: Customers can combine the option with applicable Death Benefit Settlement Options and predefine lump-sum payments for the Primary Beneficiary(ies) at meaningful life milestones, such as reaching designated ages, marriage, property purchase, diagnosis of a major critical illness, or other life events. CTF Life pays the corresponding amount in a lump sum based on the percentage the Policy Owner predesignates, making protection a thoughtful extension of the Policy Owner’s wishes.8.Premium Waiver18: If an accident occurs, CTF Life pays the future premiums of the basic plan for the customer, keeping the policy in force while easing the family’s financial burden and protecting the future of their loved ones.To support the launch, CTF Life will roll out an outdoor advertising campaign from late September at prominent locations, including Hong Kong International Airport, K11 MUSEA, K11 Art Mall and Tsim Sha Tsui East MTR Station. A branded “Sky Leap 88” promotional vehicle will also travel across key districts on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon for one month, showcasing how the Plan combines enhanced wealth accumulation with legacy-planning benefits.Notes:^“Dual 8% Enhancement Advantages” refers to: (i) by attaching the “Value Enhance Option”¹ and prepaying the basic plan premium in full in advance, you may enjoy a limited-time first-year premium discount of 8% or 10%, depending on the annual premium amount; and (ii) following each exercise of the “Policy Continuation Option”13, an amount equal to 8% of the Guaranteed Cash Value as at the Policy Continuation Effective Date will be paid on the next Policy Anniversary falling three years after the relevant Policy Continuation Effective Date. Please refer to the product brochure and the Policy Provisions for details.*Customers who apply for the Sky Leap 88 Savings Insurance Plan (with “Value Enhance Option”), choose the annual payment mode and prepay all premiums and premium levy of the basic plan in a lump sum upon application, and whose application is successfully approved on or before 26 February 2027 (“Eligible Policy”). The application submission period is from 21 September 2026 to 31 December 2026 (both dates inclusive). The offer is subject to terms and conditions. For details, please refer to the promotional leaflet:https://www.ctflife.com.hk/pdf/en/sky-leap-88-savings-insurance-plan-premium-offer-flyer.pdf# The comparison is based on the annual premium payment mode, assuming no policy withdrawal or surrender has been made, no other policy option has been exercised, and all premiums due have been paid in full on their respective due dates.

HONG KONG, Sept 21, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Duiba Group Limited (Stock Code: 01753.HK), the Hong Kong-listed operator that has become one of China's fastest-scaling AI short-drama platforms, announced that its controlling shareholder, Xiaoliang Holding Limited, has agreed to transfer 120,682,000 ordinary shares — approximately 11.21% of issued share capital — for nil consideration to Kewei Holding Limited, the Company's employee share award platform.The transfer, executed on 20 September 2026, is understood to be the largest founder-to-ESOP donation by percentage of share capital in the history of the Hong Kong stock market. It is not a disposal for cash. No shares are being sold into the market; all of them are being placed into a vehicle whose sole economic purpose is to reward and retain employees.Crucially, the arrangement is being funded entirely from the founder's personal shareholding. It involves no issuance of new shares and therefore no dilution to existing shareholders, and it consumes no company capital — no cash, no treasury reserves, no debt. The 120,682,000 shares are being transferred at nil consideration from the founder's own account to the employee incentive platform, meaning the cost of motivating and retaining the core team is borne by the founder, not by public investors or the Company's balance sheet.Six months of exponential growthThe transfer comes as Duiba's AI short-drama business enters a phase of compounding growth. On Douyin's native end, cumulative playback from June to August rose 178%. In July and August, Duiba ranked top three across the entire industry for two consecutive months, and was the only leading player to sustain month-on-month growth above 50% in both months.Seven years, zero founder sellingDuiba listed on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong on 7 May 2019. According to HKEX disclosure records, Mr. Chen Xiaoliang, the founder and controlling shareholder, voluntarily extended the post-IPO lock-up to three years at the time of listing and, from the IPO through the date of the transfer, has never reduced his personal beneficial shareholding.The 20 September arrangement is therefore the first change in the founder's ownership structure in the seven years since listing — and its direction is unambiguously inward."This is the clearest possible signal that the controlling shareholder is backing the next chapter of the business rather than exiting it," a Company spokesperson said. "The shares go to an ESOP vehicle, not to the market."After completion, Xiaoliang Holding will remain the controlling shareholder with approximately 31.01%, down from 42.21%. Kewei Holding, which currently holds only 0.17%, will hold approximately 11.38%.A war chest for AI talentKewei Holding has undertaken to introduce new incentive schemes with vesting and lock-up arrangements under the Company's equity incentive management measures. The stated focus is AI businesses, with AI short drama at the centre. Existing and future awards will be subject to service and performance conditions, aligning key employees with long-term shareholder value.The timing is deliberate. The AI short-drama sector is expanding rapidly, but hits remain scarce: fewer than 0.5% of new AI short dramas on Douyin surpass 100 million views. In that environment, the constraint on growth is not capital — it is the ability to retain writers, algorithm engineers, producers and commercialisation talent capable of turning AI tooling into repeatable hits.By moving roughly 11% of the Company into a locked-up, performance-vested incentive pool, Duiba is, in effect, converting founder ownership into collective engineering and creative capacity.The AI bet is already compoundingDuiba was founded in 2014, is headquartered in Hangzhou and listed on HKEX in May 2019. It built its early business on points-and-benefits SaaS and internet advertising, serving more than 16,000 enterprise clients. In late 2025 it moved strategically into AI short drama, building a full-stack pipeline spanning AI scriptwriting, AI production and AI distribution — what the Company describes as the industrialised, scaled monetisation of AI-generated content.Financials: revenue and gross profit rising in tandemThe Company's 2026 interim results show that the growth is reaching the income statement, not merely the traffic ledger.For the six months ended 30 June 2026:Metric1H2026ChangeTotal revenueRMB 434.7 million+24.3% YoYGross profitRMB 74.5 million+30.0% YoYGross margin17.1%16.4% (1H2025)Loss attributable to ownersRMB 25.3 millionnarrowedAI short-drama revenueRMB 222.6 million51.2% of group revenueThe Group's traditional SaaS and advertising operations contributed nearly RMB 70 million of gross profit in the first half and are expected to continue providing earnings support, while AI short drama has become the dominant revenue driver.Asset quality also appears intact. The Company reported net assets of RMB 1.175 billion, cash and short-term wealth management products of approximately RMB 400 million, and prepayments of RMB 345 million, largely related to the bank instant-discount business and recyclable into working capital.Why the transfer matters nowThree things make the move more than a symbolic gesture.First, it is structurally a gift, not a sale. The nil-consideration transfer means the founder receives no cash. For a controlling shareholder who has not sold a single share in seven years, the decision moves equity from a personal account to a collective one.Second, it arrives at a moment of operational inflection. Douyin rankings, view-count trajectories and the first-half revenue split all point in the same direction: AI short drama has become the core business, and locking talent into it via vesting and lock-ups addresses the binding constraint on its next phase.Third, it creates a credible incentive currency. An ESOP pool of roughly 11.38% is large enough to be material for hires and retention, yet structured with vesting and lock-ups that prevent it from becoming a short-term payout.The road ahead: overseas expansion and the short drama alliance business Duiba's second-half outlook rests on two tracks: AI short-drama expansion and a stable SaaS and advertising base.On the global front, the Company is accelerating its overseas push into a market it estimates at US$4 billion in 2026, up 390% year on year, with management expecting overseas operations to begin contributing revenue in the fourth quarter.Domestically, it is pursuing a strategy of the short drama alliance business,expanding to tens of thousands of app media clients via SDK access. Its distribution footprint extends beyond Toutiao and Hongguo to Tencent, Kuaishou, Baidu and more than 20 mid-tier platforms.This is not a founder exit. It is a founder-to-employee capital allocation: a seven-year holder converting personal ownership into collective incentive capacity at precisely the moment Duiba's AI short-drama business is compounding on both the view-count and income-statement lines.
