SinoMab (03681.HK) Achieves Approximately 43.3% Year-over-Year Decrease in Annual Losses for 2025, Marking Significant Progress in Pipeline Advancement ACN Newswire

SinoMab (03681.HK) Achieves Approximately 43.3% Year-over-Year Decrease in Annual Losses for 2025, Marking Significant Progress in Pipeline Advancement

HONG KONG, Mar 24, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SinoMab BioScience Limited (“SinoMab” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 03681.HK) is pleased to announce its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025 (the “Year”).During the year, loss for the year was approximately RMB105.0 million, decreased by RMB80.1 million from RMB185.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2024. The Company focused on SM17 Phase 1b clinical, transformation bridging study and preparation of Phase 2 clinical trial in 2025, of which the cost was less than large scale clinical studies in 2024. As at 31 December 2025, total funding available to use was approximately RMB351.5 million, representing a significant increase compared to RMB141.4 million as at 31 December 2024. During the year, the Group gained support from well-known institutional investors including Foresight, Fullgoal, and E Fund, completed two rounds of new share subscriptions under general mandate and successfully raised an aggregate amount of approximately HK$493.7 million in net proceeds. This drove net cash flows from financing activities for the Reporting Period to approximately RMB329.4 million, providing sufficient funding to support subsequent R&D and clinical advancement.SM17 Achieves Multiple BreakthroughsSM17 is a global first-in-class humanised monoclonal antibody (mAb) targeting the receptor for IL-25, which is capable of modulating Type II allergic reaction by targeting the receptor of a critical “alarmin” molecule interleukin-25 (IL-25). The compound has the potential for treating atopic dermatitis (AD), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).In the field of atopic dermatitis (AD), SM17 precisely targets upstream drivers of Type 2 immune responses by blocking IL-25, a key “alarmin” cytokine, thereby suppressing the inflammatory cascade at its source. While currently approved AD therapies, including biologics, can significantly improve Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI) scores and patients’ quality of life, current drugs under development or on the market cannot simultaneously meet the clinical needs for rapid itch relief, skin lesion recovery, and good safety profiles, indicating substantial unmet market demand. SM17’s key innovation lies in its upstream modulation of the Th2 inflammatory cytokine pathway via IL-25 receptor inhibition, thereby suppressing multiple downstream pathogenic signaling pathways. Preclinical studies have demonstrated its potential for rapid itch relief, significant skin lesion recovery, and a favorable safety profile, directly addressing the key limitations of current therapies.In April 2025, SM17 achieved encouraging positive results in a Phase 1b study in China for the treatment of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (AD): 12-week topline data after unblinding showed that in the high dose group, 91.7% of patients achieved pruritus relief (NRS-4), 75% achieved skin healing (EASI 75), and 41.7% achieved clear or almost clear signs of AD (IGA0/1). These results significantly outperform IL-4/IL-13 monoclonal antibodies and demonstrate a significantly better safety and tolerability profile than Janus Kinase inhibitors (JAK inhibitors), making SM17 potentially the first-in-class and best-in-class therapeutics which can simultaneously achieve rapid onset of action on pruritic relief, skin healing with a good safety profile. Study results of SM17 were published in various leading international journals. Phase 2 clinical trial for AD is expected to be entered into as early as mid-2026.On 11 December 2025, an Investigational New Drug application (“IND”) for SM17 in the indication of IBD was filed with and accepted by the Center for Drug Evaluation (the “CDE”) of the National Medical Products Administration of China (“NMPA”), and the IND was subsequently approved in February 2026. This IND submission represents an important step toward expanding SM17’s therapeutic scope beyond AD to IBD, including Crohn’s disease (“CD”) and ulcerative colitis (“UC”), which are chronic, debilitating conditions with significant unmet medical needs. In October 2025, the first cohort of healthy subjects was dosed in a Phase 1 bridging clinical trial for the route of administration conversion in China. As of 31 December 2025, a total of 30 healthy subjects had been enrolled and our follow-up visits for all healthy subjects were completed in February 2026. This bridging study is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2026. Data from this study will be leveraged to support the progression of the IBD indication directly to Phase 2 clinical development.Early-Stage Pipelines Drive Continuous Innovation GrowthIn terms of early-stage pipeline development, the Company continues to make steady progress. In June 2025, Its partner, Everest Medicines, has announced positive results from the Phase Ib/IIa clinical trial of EVER001 (SinoMab’s SN1011) for the treatment of primary membranous nephropathy (PMN), further enhancing the commercial value of the pipeline.At the same time, multiple early-stage R&D programs are progressing steadily. Anti-CGC antibody is an in-house developed, first-in-class humanised anti-γc antibody. Our in vitro assays suggested that our antibody could suppress inflammation and autoimmunity driven B, T and NK cell activation. Animal studies demonstrated that our antibody could be a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of vitiligo, alopecia areata and possibly other autoimmune diseases through the modulation of immune cell expansion, autoreactivity and tissue infiltration. We are currently in the process of CMC optimisation and toxicology studies for our antibody and plan to submit our IND application for the treatment of alopecia areata by the fourth quarter of 2026 at the earliest.Bispecific antibody candidate is a novel, bispecific antibody targeting Receptor activator of the nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL) and sclerostin for bone-related indications. bsAb processes differential mechanisms of action tailored for the treatment of osteoporosis. Our in-house in vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated our candidate to have enhanced efficacy over market-approved antibodies such as Denosumab and Romosozumab. We are currently in the process of optimising CMC and testing toxicity in non-human primates and plan to submit our IND application by the first half of 2027 at the earliest.Expanding Strategic Partnerships and Gaining Strong Industry RecognitionsIn August 2025, the Company entered into a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement with Sun Yat-sen University Institute of Advanced Studies Hong Kong Limited (“SYSU-IAS”). Under the cooperation agreement, the Company enjoys direct access to SYSU-IAS’s comprehensive laboratory facilities and valuable data resources, as well as access to primate and non-primate animal studies supply resources, to accelerate the development of innovative drugs and promote the translation of scientific research into clinical applications worldwide. Furthermore, the Company is actively exploring the feasibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) technology for new target identification.In January 2026, the Company was invited to participate in the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, where it shared its progress in the autoimmune field with multiple multinational pharmaceutical companies (MNCs) and investors.With the support of our strong R&D capabilities, extensive pipeline assets and refined operational management, we are thrilled to obtain renowned awards during the year, including the 2nd “New Quality Productive Forces Enterprise Award” jointly presented by the Greater Bay Area Family Office Association and the Hong Kong International Family Office Association, as well as the “Most Valuable Pharmaceutical Company Award” presented by Zhitong Finance.Dr. Shui On LEUNG, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SinoMab, comments: "In 2025, we demonstrated the global competitiveness of our innovative pipeline with solid clinical data. The outstanding performance of SM17 in AD and its indication expansion to IBD signify our continuous transition from single-product R&D to the realisation of platform value. Looking ahead to 2026, the biopharmaceutical industry has been accelerating into the “Biotech 3.0 Era”, which is characterised by innovation-driven development, multidisciplinary integration, and intelligent processes across the entire supply chain. We are well-positioned to capture the historic opportunity of the rapid growth of out-licensing deals in China’s biopharmaceutical industry, continue to advance the clinical development of our core pipelines, and deepen our international partnership footprint. Relying on our solid cash reserves, full-spectrum capabilities across the industry chain and the principle of differentiated innovation, we strive to maximize the returns of shareholders in the long run and provide life-changing breakthrough therapies for patients.”About SinoMab BioScience LimitedSinoMab BioScience Limited (Stock Code: 03681.HK) is a pioneer in the research and development of first-in-class and potential best-in-class therapeutic antibody drugs, focusing on autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and other debilitating diseases, committed to addressing unmet medical needs.

Gearing ratio was -29.8%.In 2025, China's economy demonstrated resilience with a 5% year-on-year GDP growth. However, the food and beverage market entered into the stage of stock competition and demand upgrading for functional and emotional values. Brand, quality, and flavors remained key drivers of purchasing decisions. Additionally, emerging formats such as instant retail, snack discount stores, and membership stores had brought about drastic changes in channels and consumer behaviors. Against the backdrop of intensifying market competition and evolving consumption patterns, a company's core competitiveness increasingly lies in building a strong moat for their core brands. Those that continuously drive product innovation and channel optimization around consumer needs will be more agile in capturing market opportunities, strengthening consumer trust, and ultimately achieving high-quality and sustainable long-term development.In 2025, the gross profit of the Instant Noodles business improved steadily. The Group’s revenue from the Instant Noodles Business was RMB28.421 billion, which grew slightly year-on-year, accounting for 35.9% of the Group’s total revenue. During the year, due to favorable raw material prices and selling prices, the gross profit margin of instant noodles expanded by 1.1 percentage points year-on-year to 29.7%, and the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company for the year of 2025 in the Instant Noodles Business increased significantly by 10.1% year-on-year to RMB 2.252 billion, driven by the year-on-year increase in gross profit margin. During the year, in the face of intensifying industry competition, the Instant Noodles Business steadily advanced its core strategy of “consolidating blockbuster products, seizing the popular flavors track, and cultivating innovative products.” By continuously improving the product portfolio and forging deep collaborations with popular IPs, it effectively amplified brand presence and steadily optimized gross margin structure. On the product front, the business relied on deep cultivation of core blockbuster products and iterative flavor upgrades, while closely aligning with evolving consumer trends to precisely target the health-focused and premium market segments, tapping into new growth opportunities. On the marketing front, it leveraged mainstream social platforms such as Bilibili and Xiaohongshu to conduct omnichannel communication, combined with cross-industry collaborations with well-known IPs to reinforce the brand perception of high-end and convenient consumption. As a result, brand influence and market recognition improved significantly. Meanwhile, guided by aerospace-grade quality standards, the business promoted the full application of aerospace patented temperature control technology in the production line, fully demonstrating the brand’s differentiated advantages in product quality and technological innovation.The Beverages Business firmly executed the strategy of “consolidating core products and developing innovative products”, the revenue from the Beverages Business was RMB50.123 billion, accounting for 63.4% of the Group’s total revenue. During the year, due to favorable raw material prices and optimized product mix, the gross profit margin of Beverages expanded by 2.2 percentage points year on-year to 37.5%. Driven by a year-on-year expansion of gross profit margin, the profit attributable to shareholders of the Company in the Beverages Business for the year of 2025 increased significantly by 18.5% year-on-year to RMB 2.274 billion. During the year, the Beverages Business strengthened its core category advantages and proactively positioned itself in emerging tracks, establishing a collaborative growth model across the full product portfolio. On the product front, while consolidating core products, it continuously expanded into incremental growth segments by launching high-quality sugar-free offerings and aligning with the wellness consumption trend to create herbal wellness scenarios, successfully opening up new growth spaces such as products made from homologous medicinal and food materials. On the marketing front, the Company deepened IP collaborations to broaden audience reach, enhanced its presence in cultural tourism channels and high-end hotel partnerships, and targeted premium consumption scenarios. These efforts consistently elevated brand value, providing strong support for the business to achieve steady operations and sustainable growth.Mr. Wei Hong-Chen, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, 2026 is expected to see expanding domestic demand become a key driver of economic growth under a more proactive and effective macroeconomic policy, while the consumer market will also usher in a critical window of profound transformation. The food and beverage industry will closely follow the theme of high-quality development, and consumption stratification will become more refined. Functional attributes, emotional resonance, and green concepts are shifting from trends to mainstream factors, becoming core elements driving brand growth. In the face of opportunities and challenges in the new cycle, the Group will be guided by the spirit of “Back to Day 1” as its strategic direction, embracing the efficiency, agility and entrepreneurial drive of our founding days, and building a platform that encourages honesty, bold experimentation and mutual growth, thus fully unleashing the vitality of all employees. While unleashing organizational vitality, we will continue to strengthen our foundational R&D capabilities and digital operation systems. Rooted in the health needs of the nation, we will drive product iteration and upgrades through technological innovation, continuously elevate product value, and align high-quality supply with the evolving consumption landscape. Adhering to the “economic-ESG” sustainable development philosophy, we will internalize social responsibility as the foundation of our development, solidify user trust through quality products, build a brand moat with long-term value, and create a sustainable and stable return system for shareholders, propelling the Group toward steady and sustained progress in the new stage of high-quality development.”About Tingyi (Cayman Islands) Holding Corp.

The scholarship announcement comes as more students look for practical ways to upskill, change careers or strengthen their professional credentials without putting work or family life on hold.New scholarships launched as International Career Institute celebrates two decades of career-focused educationTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10373/288837_60f2135b4402f876_001full.jpgOver the past two decades, the International Career Institute has built its reputation as an independent private provider of online education focused on practical, job-relevant learning. ICI offers 57 courses, has supported 58,453 students, and has learners in 191 countries, reflecting a substantial international footprint.The anniversary scholarship campaign is intended to do more than mark a birthday. It reflects a wider shift in the education market, where students are increasingly prioritising flexibility, affordability and direct career outcomes. ICI positions itself around exactly those needs: online delivery, self-paced study, personal tutor support, included course materials, flexible payment plans and career services aimed at helping graduates move into employment or advance in their chosen field.Applicants for the Leadership Scholarships are asked to demonstrate leadership potential or current leadership responsibilities and to complete an application process that outlines their background and motivation for study. Applicants facing financial disadvantage will be given priority. The scholarship forms part of a broader ICI scholarship offering and positions the initiative as a way to recognise leadership and help recipients take the next step in their development.For many adult learners, flexibility is not simply an added benefit; it is the condition that makes study possible. At the International Career Institute, students can study at their own pace, with no classes to attend and no additional textbooks or materials to purchase. Its online study model is structured around module-based written assessments rather than traditional exams, while students receive guidance and feedback from personal tutors throughout the course.Dr Michael Machica, Director of the International Career Institute, said the anniversary was both a celebration of the institution's history and a statement of intent for its future."Reaching 20 years is a proud milestone for the International Career Institute and a moment to reflect on how education has changed. From the beginning, our goal has been to make career-focused learning more flexible, more practical and more accessible for people whose lives do not fit the traditional study model. Over the next 20 years, we see ICI continuing to expand its reach, strengthen its industry relevance and help even more learners build meaningful careers through online education that works in the real world."That long-term focus on accessibility and employability remains central to the International Career Institute brand. Central to ICI's offering is tutor support, affordable pricing, interest-free payment plans, included materials and graduate career services. Those services include assistance with resumes, job searches, cover letters and interview preparation - features that help distinguish ICI in a competitive online learning market where students are increasingly outcome-focused.ICI's programmes are developed in consultation with industry experts and aligned with real-world job opportunities. That proposition - flexible study paired with career relevance - has become increasingly important as more learners seek education that fits around existing work, business, or family commitments while still contributing to employability and advancement.The release of 100 scholarships also gives the anniversary a broader public-interest dimension. In a cost-conscious environment, even motivated learners can hesitate when considering professional study. By offering scholarships focused on leadership and development, ICI is positioning its 20th anniversary not simply as a milestone but as an opportunity to invest in the next generation of professionals and career changers.Prospective students can explore scholarship eligibility, course options and the International Career Institute online study model through the institute's website, where they can also view course pages, student reviews and information about graduate support. For those considering a career change, promotion pathway or a more flexible way to formalise their skills, the anniversary scholarships create a timely reason to act.About International Career InstituteICI is an independent private provider of online education and training established in 2006.

Doubleview Gold Clarifies Preliminary Economic Assessment Results for the Hat Project; Updated Scenario B NPV Increased to C$7.27 Billion ACN Newswire

Doubleview Gold Clarifies Preliminary Economic Assessment Results for the Hat Project; Updated Scenario B NPV Increased to C$7.27 Billion

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 23, 2026) - Doubleview Gold Corp. (TSXV: DBG) (OTCQB: DBLVF) (FSE: 1D4) ("Doubleview" or the "Company") provides clarification to its news release dated March 2, 2026, announcing the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Company's 100% owned Hat Project in northwestern British Columbia.Following publication of the March 2, 2026 news release, Mineit Consulting Inc., the independent engineering firm responsible for the PEA, completed a further review of the application of certain processing cost assumptions relating to the scandium recovery circuit in Scenario B. As a result of this review, the after-tax NPV(5%) for Scenario B at consensus metal prices has been updated to C$7.27 billion from C$6.94 billion and IRR of 19%. The update also results in an increase in Scenario B after-tax NPV(5%) at spot metal prices to C$14.85 billion from C$14.52 billion and IRR of 32%.The updated Scenario B results further demonstrate the economic contribution of the scandium recovery circuit and increase the difference in after-tax NPV between the base case (Scenario A2) and Scenario B to C$547 million.The cobalt grade reported in Table 1 of the Company's March 2, 2026 news release was inadvertently shown as 0.78 g/t Co. The correct value is 78 g/t Co, consistent with Table 5 of the release. This discrepancy was limited to the summary table presentation and does not affect the PEA results or conclusions.These clarifications do not change the overall conclusions of the PEA and further highlight the strong economics of the Hat Project, including the potential value contribution from scandium recovery.Corrected highlights of the PEA reflecting the updated Scenario B economics are presented below.NPV:After-tax NPV(5%) of C$6.73 billion and IRR of 23% at Consensus Metal Prices After-tax NPV(5%) of C$13.53 billion and IRR of 39% at Spot Metal PricesNPV Including scandium and the associated processing circuit: After-tax NPV(5%) of C$7.27 billion and IRR of 19% at Consensus Metal PricesAfter-tax NPV(5%) of C$14.85 billion and IRR of 32% at Spot Metal PricesThree processing scenarios were evaluated-Scenario A1 (A1) a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation base case using current testwork recoveries1, Scenario A2 (A2), the same base case using expected recoveries1, and Scenario B (B), a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flowsheet with an added hydrometallurgical circuit and scandium recovery circuit, with results indicating the Project is financially attractive even without the scandium component.Highlights:Robust Project Economics: The PEA demonstrates a high-margin operation with an After-Tax NPV(5%) of C$4.96 billion (A1), C$6.73 billion (A2), or C$7.27 billion (B), and an IRR of 19% (A1), 23% (A2), or 19% (B) at analyst consensus metal prices2. Using a spot-price scenario3, the Project delivers a compelling after-tax NPV(5%) of C$11.05 billion (A1), 13.53 billion (A2), or C$14.85 billion (B) and an IRR of 34% (A1), 39% (A2), or 32% (B).Sensitivity Highlight: Project economics show the greatest leverage to overall metal prices, with NPV (5%) ranging from C$3.2 billion to C$10.2 billion (IRR: 14%-32%) at ±20% on all metals; even under additional +20% CAPEX and +20% OPEX sensitivities, applied on top of a 25% contingency already embedded in the base case, all scenarios deliver IRRs of 16% or better, and Scenario B provides additional scandium oxide upside with NPV(5%) of C$6.5 billion-C$8.1 billion (IRR: 18%-20%) at ±40% metal price.Scale and Longevity: The mine plan supports a multi-decade life of 25 years at a 120,000 tonnes-per-day processing rate, underpinned by a resource base of 609 Mt at 0.43% CuEq4 in the Measured and Indicated categories and 503 Mt at 0.41% CuEq4 in the Inferred category.High-Output Production Profile B: Envisioned as a conventional large-scale open-pit operation, the Project is expected to produce an average of over 74 kt of copper, 254 koz of gold, 376 koz of silver and 2.7 kt of cobalt annually during the first 10 years, with life-of-mine (LOM) average production of 67.6 kt Cu, 217 koz Au, 348 koz Ag, 2.5 kt Co, and 128 tonnes of scandium oxide per year. (NOTE: based on publicly reported 2024 North American cobalt mine production of approximately 3,800-4,000 tonnes (Natural Resources Canada; U.S. Geological Survey), the projected cobalt output is estimated to represent approximately 69% of current regional mined supply).Strategic Importance for Critical Minerals: The Project is positioned as a primary North American source of copper, scandium, and cobalt. With approximately 2.42 billion pounds of copper, 80 million pounds of cobalt and 2,415 tonnes of scandium oxide contained5 in the Measured and Indicated categories, the Project represents an important discovery of critical minerals.Stable, Supportive Jurisdiction: Located in a premier mining district in British Columbia, the Project benefits from a stable regulatory environment. The Company is committed to engaging with local First Nations in a respectful manner and to working toward positive and constructive relationships as the Project advances.Catalyst for Development: The PEA serves as the technical foundation for an immediate transition into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), providing a clear roadmap for early works and permitting activities in 2026 and 2027.Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO of Doubleview Gold Corp., commented, "The results of this PEA confirm the scale, strength and long-term potential of the Hat Project. Delivering a post-tax NPV(5%) of up to C$6.73 billion and IRR of up to 23% at consensus prices, and even stronger metrics at spot prices, validates years of disciplined exploration and technical work by our team. Hat is demonstrating Tier 1 characteristics with a 25-year mine life, strong annual production profile and meaningful free cash flow generation. Importantly, the Project stands on its own without reliance on scandium, while still preserving significant upside from critical minerals as markets mature. We are excited to advance Hat to Pre-Feasibility and continue building a major Canadian critical metals project."Doubleview acknowledges that the Project is located on the traditional territories of the Tahltan Nation and the Taku River Tlingit First Nation, and recognizes their enduring relationship to and stewardship of the land and waters. Doubleview is committed to respectful, transparent, and ongoing engagement with First Nations and local communities whose territories overlap the Project area and access routes, with a focus on protecting water and the environment and advancing responsible development.PEA OVERVIEWThe PEA contemplates a conventional open-pit mine and processing operation with a 25-year mine life at a 120,000 t/d (42 Mt/a) plant throughput. Two processing pathways were evaluated, A1 and its alternative, A2, and B: the first alternative, A, is a Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation concentrator with two recovery cases based on current metallurgical testwork, and A2, reflecting expected performance (Figure 1); and B, a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit (Figure 2).The tailings storage facility is a centreline-raised facility built with compacted cycloned sand from tailings underflow, and engineered drainage for stability, with site-contact waters (including seepage and pit dewatering) recycled to the process plant and final closure involving pond drainage and reclamation. The Project is expected to rely on grid power via an extended transmission line.Tables 1 to 3 summarize the key results of the PEA, including production, operating costs, capital expenditures, and the principal financial metrics; the sections that follow provide additional detail on the underlying assumptions, project design, and study outcomes.Table 1: PEA Study Summary-ProductionMetric UnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BMining SummaryStrip ratiot:t1.60Production Summary LOMAverage Annual ThroughputMt42CuEq Head Grade6, 7%0.42Cu Head Grade%0.19Au Head Gradeg/t0.19Ag Head Gradeg/t0.51Co Head Gradeg/t77.73Sc Head Grade6g/t28.35Cu Recovery%8089858Au Recovery%6675898Ag Recovery%5353688Co Recovery%3030788Sc Recovery%N/A728Overall Mass of Tailings to Process9%N/A12.5Year of Production Start of Sc2O38yearN/A4Average Annual Cu Productionkt63.670.867.6Total Cu Productionkt1,590.51,769.41,689.9Average Annual Payable Cukt61.768.765.7Total Payable Cukt1,542.81,716.31,642.2Average Annual Au Productionkoz161.1183.1217.3Total Au Productionkoz4,028.24,577.55,432.0Average Annual Payable Aukoz153.1173.9207.5Total Payable Aukoz3,826.84,348.75,188.6Average Annual Ag Productionkoz271.3271.3348.0Total Ag Productionkoz6781.66,781.68,700.9Average Annual Payable Agkoz244.1244.1318.6Total Payable Agkoz6,103.46,103.47,965.3Average Annual Co Productionkt1.01.02.5Total Co Productionkt23.923.962.2Average Annual Payable Cokt0.80.82.3Total Payable Cokt19.119.156.3Average Annual Sc2O3 ProductiontN/A128.4Total Sc2O3 ProductiontN/A3,209.5Total Sc2O3 PayabletN/A3,049.0 Table 2: PEA Study Summary-Operating CostMetricUnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BOperating Cost Average Mine Operating CostsC$/t-moved2.32Average Mine Operating CostsC$/t-milled6.03Processing Operating Cost10C$/t-milled7.937.9310.84Sc2O3 Processing Cost11C$/kg Sc2O3N/A939.55General & AdministrativeC$/t-milled2.562.562.56Total Operating CostsC$/t-milled16.2216.2221.92 Table 3: PEA Study Summary-Capital Expenditure and Financial MetricsMetricUnitScenario A1Scenario A2Scenario BCapital Expenditure Initial Capital CostsC$M3,5523,6013,828Sustaining Capital CostsC$M2,7552,7554,006Closure and Reclamation CostC$M503Financial Metrics Exchange RateCAD/USD1.37Long Term Copper PriceUS$/lb4.88Long Term Gold PriceUS$/oz3,272.60Long Term Silver PriceUS$/oz50.22Long Term Cobalt PriceUS$/lb19.57Long Term Scandium Oxide PriceUS$/kgN/A1,500Average Annual EBITDAC$M8861,0711,284Total EBITDAC$M22,16226,77032,101Average Annual Free Cash Flow (Pre-tax)C$M7569401,104Free Cash Flow (Pre-tax)12C$M18,90423,51127,592Total Provincial Tax (inc.

This estimate followed the Micon International Ltd. (Micon) Mineral Resource estimate with an effective date of July 17, 2024. This MRE incorporates significant new data from the 2024 and 2025 exploration campaigns, with an effective date of February 4, 2026, and superseded the 2024 Micon estimate.Table 5: Hat MRE at a 0.2% CuEq Cut-Off Effective February 4, 2026Mineral Resource ClassificationTonnage(Mt)Average GradeMetal ContentCuEq(%)Cu(%)Au(g/t)Co(g/t)Ag(g/t)CuEq(Blb)Cu(Blb)Au(Moz)Co(Mlb)Ag(Moz)Measured2720.440.220.1876.260.372.611.111.4135.62.17Indicated3370.430.210.1976.810.393.211.311.8144.52.88Total M+I6090.430.210.1876.570.385.822.423.2280.15.05Inferred5030.410.180.1976.620.384.571.722.7766.24.19 Table 6: Hat MRE at a 0.2% CuEq Cut-Off as of February 4, 2026, Scandium Oxide ResourcesMineral Resource ClassificationTonnage(Mt)Sc Tonnage1(Mt)Average GradeSc (g/t)Metal ContentSc2O3 2 (t)Measured2723428.791,081Indicated3374228.761,334Total M+I6097628.772,415Inferred5036328.691,996 Notes: 1 Scandium tonnages represent 12.5% of the mineralized material by category, reflecting the proportion of tailings expected to be processed through a dedicated scandium leach circuit under current metallurgical design constraints.2 Scandium oxide metal content have been calculated using the metallurgical recovery of 72% and conversion factor from Sc to Sc2O3 of 1.534. Mineit's Qualified Person, Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, completed the MRE, and has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure related to the MRE contained in this news release. Mr. Wawruch is a senior geology and mineral resource consultant independent of Doubleview. Mr. Gilles Arseneau, PhD., P.Geo., of ARSENEAU Consulting Services Inc., provided an independent review of this MRE.Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.The estimate of Mineral Resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-political, marketing, or other relevant issues.Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014), and CIM MRMR Best Practice Guidelines (2019).The effective date of the MRE is February 4, 2026.Metal contents have been calculated using the following metallurgical recovery factors: Cu = 85%, Au = 89%, Co = 78%, and Ag = 68%.Economic assumptions used include US4.80/lb Cu, US20.00/lb Co, US3,200/oz Au, US46/oz Ag, and a 2% NSR royalty.Mineral Resources are reported within optimized open pit constraints and 0.2% CuEq cut-off grade, based on a C7.93/t milled processing cost and C2.90/t milled general and administrative cost, with a mining cost of C3.01/t plus incremental mining cost increasing by C0.015/t for every bench below the reference level of 1,125 mRL.CuEq calculations do not include scandium. The formula used to calculate CuEq is: CuEq = [(((Ag × 46.0 × 0.68)/31.1035) + ((Au × 3200 × 0.89)/31.1035) + 0.0001 × (Co × 20.0 × 0.78 × 22.0462) + 0.0001 × (Cu × 4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85))/(4.8 × 22.0462 × 0.85)], where all input variables are expressed in (ppm) and CuEq is expressed in percent (%).Rounding may result in minor variations between individual values and totals; such differences are not considered material to the MRE.Mineral Resource classification reflects the level of geological confidence and satisfies the uncertainty criteria appropriate for exploration and resource development. Additional drilling will be required to reduce uncertainty to the level expected for production planning. The MRE reflects the geological interpretation, drill-hole spacing, and estimation parameters available at the time of modelling. Any additional drilling is expected to influence the current outcome by improving confidence in the estimates and refining the geometry of the mineralized domains.The Mineral Resource results are presented in situ within the optimized pit. Mineralized material outside the pit has not been considered as a part of the current MRE tabulation. Calculations used metric units (metres, tonnes, g/t).A total of 97 diamond drill holes, comprising 49,548 m of core, were incorporated into the Mineral Resource Estimate. All drilling data used in the MRE were subject to standard QA/QC validation prior to inclusion.PROCESSING SCENARIOSThe PEA evaluates two processing scenarios: (A) a conventional Cu-Au-Ag-Co flotation concentrator at 120,000 t/d (42 Mt/a) with two recovery cases-A1 based on metallurgical testwork completed by Sepro Laboratories (Langley, BC) and A2 reflecting target/expected performance-and (B) a full circuit that retains the base flowsheet and adds a downstream hydrometallurgical scandium recovery circuit.The concentrator consists of crushing, grinding, flotation, concentrate handling, and tailings management, producing both a saleable approximately 25% Cu concentrate with co-product gold and by-product silver-cobalt credits and a pyrite concentrate enriched in cobalt; in the full-circuit case, the pyrite concentrate is roasted to generate sulphuric acid and a calcine that is then processed to recover cobalt, gold, silver, and copper; after stripping it will be precipitated as a sulphide to be admixed to the copper concentrate to improve grade, with the acid used to leach flotation tailings for scandium recovery, noting that the scandium circuit is a newer chemical process compared with the otherwise industry-standard flowsheet.Under A1 or A2 (Figure 1), the flowsheet produces a single saleable product-a copper concentrate with payable gold credits; the pyrite concentrate is not treated or marketed in this case and is only processed in B where the hydrometallurgical circuit enables recovery of cobalt (and additional Au-Ag) and supports the scandium circuit (Figure 2), which is planned to be constructed in a phased approach commencing in Year 3 of operations.Figure 1: Grinding and Flotation Flowsheet; Scenarios A1/A2 Report Copper Concentrate Only, while the Cobalt-Pyrite Flotation Stream Shown Is Included Only in Scenario BTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/289584_doubleview1.jpgFigure 2: Scenario B Hydrometallurgical Plant Block Flow Diagram, Showing Downstream Treatment of the Cobalt-Pyrite Stream and Flotation of Tailings to Recover Cobalt (and Au-Ag) and Scandium, Including Sulphuric Acid Generation to Support the Scandium CircuitTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8003/289584_94c53b19649fcaba_003full.jpgTable 7 summarizes the head grades, concentrate grades, and overall metallurgical recoveries from early testwork for the full circuit; A1 assumes only the reported recoveries to the Cu-Au concentrate, while the cobalt-pyrite concentrate and downstream recoveries are considered only in B.Early metallurgical testwork comprised metallurgical characterization studies under standard laboratory conditions to demonstrate metals recoverability for inclusion in the estimate of CuEq. No attempt was made to optimize flotation conditions, and more advanced flotation testwork was not undertaken. Consequently, the reported metallurgical recoveries are considered conservative, and it is reasonable to expect improvement with further testwork.A2, assumes improved copper and gold recoveries of 89% and 75%, respectively, reflecting expected performance from comparable Cu-Au porphyry flotation circuits following further optimization and testwork.Table 8 summarizes the recoveries assumption on each scenario.CAPITAL COST SUMMARYTable 9 presents the estimated capital cost breakdown for the three evaluated scenarios, separating initial CAPEX from sustaining CAPEX and reporting costs in C$M by major cost area (processing plant, mining, pre-stripping, infrastructure, tailings and water management, Indirects/EPCM, and contingency).Total initial CAPEX is estimated at C$3,552 million (A1), C$3,601 million (A2), and C$3,828 million (B), reflecting the higher processing plant scope and associated indirects/contingency in Scenario B.Total sustaining CAPEX is estimated at C$2,755 million (A1/A2) and C$4,006 million (B), with the increase in B driven primarily by the inclusion of the hydrometallurgical plant and scandium recovery circuit within sustaining capital, while mining, infrastructure, and tailings sustaining components remain broadly consistent across scenarios.OPERATING COST SUMMARYTable 10 summarizes the key operating cost and selling terms used in the PEA, reporting unit costs in C$/t moved, C$/t milled, and (where applicable) C$/kg of scandium oxide, together with concentrate transport and selling costs, TC/RC, and payability assumptions.Average site operating costs are estimated at C$16.22/t milled for Scenario A (concentrate-only) and C$21.92/t milled for B, with the increase in B driven by the addition of hydrometallurgical processing and acid generation (C$3.09/t milled) and scandium oxide processing costs (C$939.55/kg Sc₂O₃).On a payable metal basis, the study reports C1 cash costs of C$2.4/lb CuEq (A1), C$2.39/lb CuEq (A2), and C$2.89/lb CuEq (B) and AISC of C$2.79/lb CuEq (A1), C$2.78/lb CuEq (A2), and C$3.39/lb CuEq (B), reflecting the combined effects of recoveries, co-product/by-product credits, and the additional operating requirements of the full circuit.ECONOMIC RESULTSTable 11 summarizes the key economic assumptions and resulting financial metrics for Scenarios A1, A2, B, including the long-term price deck, cash flow generation, taxation, and discounted valuation at a 5% discount rate. Using an exchange rate of 1.37 CAD: 1.00 USD and long-term prices of US$4.88/lb Cu, US$3,272.60/oz Au, US$50.22/oz Ag, and US$19.57/lb Co (and US$1,500/kg Sc₂O₃ for B), the Project generates average annual EBITDA of C$886 million (A1), C$1,071 million (A2), and C$1,284 million (B). On a post-tax basis, NPV(5%) is estimated at C$4,963 million (A1), C$6,727 million (A2), and C$7,274 million (B) with corresponding post-tax IRRs of 19%, 23%, and 19%, and post-tax payback in Year 6 (A1), Year 5 (A2), and Year 7 (B). Total post-tax free cash flow is estimated at C$10,050 million (A1), C$12,961 million (A2), and C$15,437 million (B), reflecting the higher cash generation under the improved recovery case (A2) and the additional revenue streams in Scenario B, partially offset by the added capital and operating requirements of the hydrometallurgical and scandium circuits.SENSITIVITY ANALYSISSensitivity cases were evaluated for the key value drivers using after-tax NPV (5%) and after-tax IRR, including ±20% copper and gold prices, +20% initial capital, +20% operating costs and, for B, a ±40% scandium price sensitivity.Overall, the sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the Project's after-tax economics remain positive across the tested ranges, with the greatest variability in after-tax NPV(5%) and IRR driven by simultaneous changes in the overall metal price deck. Changes to copper and gold prices individually have a meaningful but smaller effect, while +20% initial CAPEX and +20% OPEX reduce value but do not eliminate Project attractiveness in any of the evaluated scenarios. Scenario B shows additional exposure to scandium oxide price, with after-tax NPV(5%) varying within a narrower range relative to the broader multi-metal price cases, indicating that scandium provides incremental upside while the base-case Cu-Au Project remains financially robust on its own.PERMITTING, RISKS, AND NEXT STEPSPermitting and EnvironmentalPermitting StatusThe permitting process will be supported by the continuation of environmental baseline studies, progression of engineering designs, and the initiation of socio-economic and cultural baseline studies.Due to the anticipated rate of resource extraction, it is expected that the Hat Project will be subject to both federal and provincial impact assessment pathways, so submission to both the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) and British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office (B.C. EAO) for their review is currently anticipated. Agency determination will decide the appropriate level of agency collaboration under the existing cooperation agreement for the Hat Project to acquire a provincial Environmental Assessment Certificate (EAC) and/or federal Decision Statement.The company will also submit a Joint Mines Act and Environmental Management Act Application through the B.C. Major Mines Office. Additional federal authorizations, including Fisheries Act approvals and compliance with Metal and Diamond Mines Effluent Regulations (MDMER), and applicable provincial permits will be obtained concurrently with other assessment and permitting steps. This will not only support protection of the immediate environment through the life of the Project but also respect the rights of First Nations and promote social and economic wellbeing for local communities.Tailings and Water ManagementThe Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) includes a perimeter dyke primarily constructed from compacted cycloned sand. This material will be sourced from the coarse underflow of tailings processed through an on-site cyclone plant. Using the centreline raise method, the dam is designed to be free-draining, lowering the phreatic surface to facilitate geotechnical stability. During operations, seepage from the TSF will be directed to the process plant as reclaim water. Upon closure, the supernatant pond will be drained, and the tailings and dam surfaces will be reclaimed with a granular trafficability layer, followed by a growth medium and native revegetation.The water management strategy prioritizes the reuse of site-impacted water, directing TSF water, contact water from the waste rock storage facilities, and open-pit dewatering to the process plant for use as make-up water.Key Risks and OpportunitiesProject-wideTailings Storage Facility:The location and geometry of the TSF are subject to refinement following geotechnical investigations of the potential site areas. Similarly, the anticipated availability of cycloned sand and the storage requirements for the facility may be adjusted once laboratory testing of the tailings is conducted.The integration of this future site-specific data presents a significant opportunity to optimize the TSF design.Mineral Processing:Limited metallurgical and comminution data introduce uncertainty in equipment sizing and operating cost inputs; however, early results indicate the ore should be amenable to conventional Cu-Au flotation, with potential upside from improved recoveries and reduced reagent consumption through optimization.The scandium circuit is less mature and is sensitive to acid economics and hydrometallurgical performance, but offers meaningful value upside if recoveries, product quality, and operating stability are confirmed at larger scale.Mine Design:Pit slope design criteria and mine scheduling are subject to elevated uncertainty due to the limited geotechnical database, including incomplete definition of structural controls, rock mass variability, and groundwater conditions. This creates downside risk to slope angles, strip ratio, and operating conditions if adverse structures or hydrogeology are encountered; however, it also provides a clear opportunity to materially improve design confidence and potentially optimize slope geometry, mine sequencing, and dewatering requirements through focused data acquisition and updated analyses.Capital Cost estimates:As a PEA-level estimate, capital costs remain subject to the inherent uncertainty of a preliminary design basis and limited engineering definition; however, significant effort was undertaken to develop the estimate using a defined scope, preliminary equipment sizing, and factored/benchmark-based costing with appropriate indirects and contingency. This work provides a credible foundation for decision-making at this stage while also highlighting clear opportunities to optimize capital intensity through further engineering definition, value engineering, and targeted trade-off studies (e.g., comminution configuration, tailings strategy, infrastructure/power, and construction execution approach).Scandium specific:Scandium provides strategic upside given its small, concentrated global supply base and the growing premium placed on secure, qualified supply, but it carries higher execution and commercial risk due to limited scale-up testwork (variability, impurity control, reagent intensity), added residue-management and permitting complexity, and uncertainty around product specifications, pricing, and customer qualification.Next StepsResource:The Company is advancing the Project toward Pre-Feasibility by upgrading confidence in the current Mineral Resource estimate and improving definition of mineralization within the proposed mine plan area. The program will prioritize infill drilling to support conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated (and, where appropriate, Measured), together with step-out drilling to test extensions of known mineralization and provide improved geological continuity for next-stage mine design, scheduling, and economic evaluation.Waste facilities:Field investigations will be conducted at potential TSF and waste rock storage sites to characterize subsurface conditions and identify suitable borrow materials for construction. These efforts will be supported by site-specific geotechnical and geochemical characterization of the tailings and waste rock. These data sets will inform a TSF design update to a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) level of engineering, encompassing an optimized siting and technology trade-off study.Metallurgy:Complete a comprehensive metallurgical testwork program on representative samples including comminution testwork (Bond Work Index, abrasion index, and related grindability tests) and metallurgical variability + locked-cycle flotation testing to define an optimal process flowsheet, mass balance, and optimized reagent scheme, and to produce samples for concentrate dewatering and preliminary smelter marketing.Progress the scandium work through targeted hydrometallurgical optimization including pulp density, free acidity/acid consumption, SX staging and extractant concentration, followed by an integrated pilot trial on bulk samples to validate scandium recovery, product quality, and circuit operability.Mine Design:A phased geotechnical program is recommended that includes re-analysis of existing boreholes (re-logging and detailed structural mapping, including oriented-core interpretation where available), establishment of geotechnical domains, targeted drilling and field mapping to confirm discontinuity sets and persistence, and hydrogeological data collection to constrain pore pressures and inflows. These data will support updated kinematic assessments and slope design analyses, refinement of inter-ramp and overall slope angles, and improved inputs to mine planning, risk management measures, and capital/operating cost estimates.Capital Costs Estimation:As the Project advances to PFS, the estimate will be progressively refined by advancing engineering to a higher level of definition, updating quantities and vendor inputs for major equipment and packages, tightening indirects and construction productivity assumptions, and executing focused optimization and constructability reviews to reduce contingency and improve overall cost confidence.NI 43-101 DISCLOSURE, QUALIFIED PERSONS, AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTSQualified PersonsThe scientific and technical information in this news release has been reviewed and approved by the following Qualified Persons, each with respect to the matters within their area of expertise, (as defined under NI 43-101):Tomasz Wawruch, FAusIMM, Senior Geology and Mineral Resource Consultant of Mineit Consulting Inc.

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The PEA provides a conceptual mine plan and is based on low-level technical and economic assessments that are insufficient to support an evaluation of the economic viability of the Project or to establish Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. Further exploration and site-specific engineering studies are required before a higher level of confidence can be established for the Project's economics.The economic analysis in the PEA is based on several assumptions including, but not limited to, long-term metal prices, foreign exchange rates, metallurgical recoveries, and capital and operating cost estimates. These assumptions are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the PEA or the forward-looking information contained in this release.Forward-Looking InformationCertain of the statements made and information contained herein may constitute "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws.

Unitree Robotics IPO Ignites Embodied-Intelligence Rally, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Faces a Dual Catalyst of ‘Investment Realisation+Platform Re-Rating’ ACN Newswire

Unitree Robotics IPO Ignites Embodied-Intelligence Rally, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Faces a Dual Catalyst of ‘Investment Realisation+Platform Re-Rating’

HONG KONG, Mar 23, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) -The humanoid robotics sector has reached another milestone. On 20 March, the Shanghai Stock Exchange confirmed that Unitree Robotics Co., Ltd. (operating entity: Hangzhou Yushu Technology Co., Ltd.) has received formal acceptance of its STAR Market IPO application, targeting proceeds of RMB 4.202 billion, with review status recorded as "Accepted". This marks Unitree Robotics' official push to become China's first A-share listed humanoid robot company, and signals that the embodied-intelligence industry is transitioning from a theme-driven narrative phase into a new stage of genuine capital-markets realisation.From publicly disclosed information, this IPO is not purely a concept re-rating event — it rests on a foundation of strong earnings growth and capacity expansion. According to the company's prospectus, Unitree Robotics generated revenue of RMB 1.708 billion in 2025, up 335.36% year-on-year; non-GAAP net profit exceeded RMB 600 million, up 674.29% year-on-year. The public offering involves a minimum of 40,446,434 new shares, representing at least 10% of the total post-IPO share count.For the capital markets, the most important contribution of Unitree Robotics is that it begins to provide a clearer public-market valuation reference for the humanoid-robotics sector. Reports indicate that Unitree's valuation stood at approximately RMB 5 billion in early 2025, rising to approximately RMB 12 billion by June 2025. The prospectus implies an initial post-IPO market capitalisation of at least RMB 42 billion — a dramatic leap from the mid-2025 private-market benchmark. For the capital markets, Unitree's listing trajectory carries a clear signal: humanoid robotics is no longer purely a story of "technological imagination" — it is entering a new phase of revenue, profit, capacity, and capital advancing on all four fronts simultaneously. For the supply chain, this raises the clarity of the sector's valuation anchor; for capital platforms that have invested early in leading robotics companies, it means book values, exit expectations, and business synergies all have room to rise in tandem.Among the beneficiary candidates in this cycle, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (HKEX: 0697.HK) stands out for its rarity value. The company has publicly confirmed that, through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund and its affiliated sub-funds, it has invested in Unitree Robotics, Galbot (Beijing Galaxy General Robot Co., Ltd.; X Square Robot , Noetix Robotics, and other leading enterprises. By Q3 2025, the multiple funds it manages had further completed investments in Unitree Robotics, DEEP Robotics / Hangzhou DEEP Robotics Co., Ltd.), Booster Robotics, Differential Robotics / Differential Robotics Technology Inc.), Wuxi Quanzhibo Technology Co., Ltd., and other core robotics supply-chain companies — covering humanoid robots, aerial robots, and critical upstream components. In short, Shoucheng Holdings is not a single-bet position, but a portfolio-style deployment spanning "leading robot OEMs + upstream critical components + regional fund networks."Crucially, Shoucheng Holdings' edge lies not only in "investing" but also in "post-investment value creation." Both the company's 2025 interim report and Q3 report highlight that it is advancing an integrated "Invest + Operate + Ecosystem" pathway centred on "capital + scenarios + supply chain." It has established Shoucheng Robot Technology Industry Co., Ltd. and Shoucheng Robot Advanced Materials Industry Co., Ltd., expanding into sales agency, leasing, consultancy, supply-chain management, and upstream materials. Simultaneously, the company has deployed permanent robot experience stores and pop-up stores at Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminal 3, and Chengdu Chunxi Road, accelerating the transition of robot products from showcase to commercial deployment. For high-volume producers like Unitree Robotics, these venue resources translate into lower trial-and-error costs and faster commercial validation cycles.This is also the core reason why the market treats Shoucheng Holdings as a premier Unitree Robotics proxy: it is not a simple secondary-market "reflection" play, but an ecosystem-type platform that combines capital linkages, application venues, and industrial service capabilities. Once Unitree Robotics' IPO advances smoothly, the first beneficiary will be the market recognition of Shoucheng Holdings' existing robotics investment portfolio. With a marquee portfolio company achieving public listing, external investors will find it far easier to mark-to-market the unlisted robotics assets still held by Shoucheng Holdings.Market analysts observe that, from a valuation standpoint, the Unitree Robotics IPO represents at least three distinct positive catalysts for Shoucheng Holdings.First, the anticipated realisation of investment returns has been significantly enhanced. Shoucheng Holdings holds 3.8262% of Unitree Robotics through the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, placing it among the top ten pre-IPO shareholders. After accounting for dilution from the new share issuance, the post-IPO stake corresponds to approximately 3.44%. Based on an assumed post-IPO market capitalisation of RMB 42 billion, this stake implies a value of approximately RMB 1.446 billion; at market caps of RMB 50 billion and RMB 60 billion, the implied values are approximately RMB 1.722 billion and RMB 2.066 billion respectively. Against the scale of Shoucheng Holdings' net asset base, these figures represent a material incremental contribution and will provide meaningful support to the company's existing valuation framework.Second, the platform-level valuation midpoint has scope to re-rate upward. Shoucheng Holdings is not a traditional single-strategy financial investor. Its core business encompasses infrastructure asset operations on one side, and entry into robotics and intelligent manufacturing through funds and an industrial platform on the other. Once the robotics sector has an established public-market valuation anchor, Shoucheng Holdings' entire robotics investment portfolio stands to be re-valued in aggregate.Third, the acceleration of robotics ecosystem commercialisation opens a genuine second growth curve. In the past, the market valued robotics concept stocks largely at the level of "equity participation income." But Shoucheng Holdings is actively working to transform robotics into a real operating business. The company has disclosed that it is advancing robot deployment across multiple scenarios — offline experience stores, airport environments, cultural-tourism parks, and smart car parks — and is collaborating with industry partners to develop new business formats such as "robotics + automotive." Should Unitree Robotics' brand recognition and fundraising capacity strengthen further post-IPO, Shoucheng Holdings could expand beyond "investment gains" to capture diversified value streams including operating profit-sharing, channel services, scenario services, and supply-chain coordination. At that point, the market's analytical framework for Shoucheng Holdings would graduate from "Unitree Robotics proxy" to "robotics ecosystem infrastructure platform."In addition, Shoucheng Holdings' financial structure provides a robust margin of safety for any valuation recovery. The company reported profit attributable to shareholders of HKD 410 million in 2024. Equity attributable to owners of the company stood at HKD 9.421 billion at end-2024. The gearing ratio declined from 15.9% at end-2024 to 10.9% by Q3 2025. In respect of the 2024 financial year, the company declared final dividend and special dividend totalling HKD 888 million, and together with the interim dividend of HKD 208 million, full-year distributions reached HKD 1.096 billion — exceeding 200% of the year's attributable profit. This combination of strong dividend commitment, low financial leverage, and sustained earnings power positions the stock favourably for capital flows seeking both "growth" and "income" attributes simultaneously.Taken as a whole, the formal advancement of the Unitree Robotics IPO process represents one of the most consequential capital-markets events of 2026 for the embodied-intelligence industry. It not only raises the capital-markets certainty for leading robotics companies, but also opens a valuation re-rating window for ecosystem-type platforms like Shoucheng Holdings Limited. As the logic of "flagship project listing → investment return realisation → industrial scenario expansion → platform valuation uplift" progressively unfolds, Shoucheng Holdings is well-positioned to emerge as one of the core beneficiaries of this robotics market cycle — a company that simultaneously offers a meaningful margin of safety and meaningful upside optionality.

The initiative strengthens connections between Hong Kong and the international film and television community, creating more possibilities for jointly expanding into the global market. Speaking at the panel discussion titled “International Coproductions in an Evolving Film Industry Landscape,” Janet Yang, Golden Globe-winning producer, observed: “The world is getting flatter, language is mattering less and less to audiences everywhere.” Producer and director Peter Chan also mentioned: “It’s always difficult to convince the studio, the investor, or now the platform, of a vision you want to make. What you try to do is diversify your investors and partners into different regions.”48 featured forums and events examine emerging industry trendsTwo major forums held alongside FILMART — EntertainmentPulse and the Digital Entertainment Summit — focused on the latest developments in the global film, television and entertainment technology sectors, attracting strong participation from industry professionals. EntertainmentPulse addressed popular topics including artificial intelligence, streaming platform strategies, the rising popularity of short dramas, co-production and financing trends. Industry leaders shared insights on global market strategies and future directions, helping the sector capture emerging opportunities. The Financing & Investment panel, themed “Capital in Motion: Private Financing Promotes Development of Asia’s Film & TV Industry,” explored Asian private investment trends, project financing strategies and planning. Justin Deimen, Managing Partner of Goldfinch International, shared: “We need to allocate more resources and capability towards creative IP valuation. If you cannot value something, you cannot invest in it.”Meanwhile, FILMART Online IP Catalogue featured more than 2,200 creative IP projects, extending the four-day physical fair into a two-month networking platform helping industry stakeholders continue exploring business opportunities. This initiative further consolidated Hong Kong’s position as Asia’s film and entertainment trading hub.

MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse attract more than 1,700 industry professionals

HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse successfully concluded at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC). The premier annual e-commerce and brand marketing events drew a vibrant crowd of more than 1,700 industry professionals from 22 countries and regions, who gathered in Hong Kong to navigate the ever-evolving marketing landscape and redefine the blueprint for business growth.Driving brand evolution through innovationWelcoming delegates to the conferences, Sophia Chong, Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: "Rapid advances in digital technologies are allowing e-commerce to reshape the market landscape, transforming how businesses reach consumers, transact and scale. From AI-driven personalisation to social commerce, the pace of change is unprecedented, and with this change comes significant opportunity. The theme for this year’s events, "Generate New Growth", challenges us to seize these opportunities by exploring how fresh ideas, new technologies and bold strategies can power the next wave of momentum."E-commerce experts unpack the latest AI trendsThis year’s MarketingPulse and eTailingPulse staged 30 thematic sessions, with a comprehensive agenda exploring topics including "Growth leaders", "E-commerce new horizons", "Cutting edge marketing dynamics/new market potential", " Social media best practices", the "Meet the celebrity dialogue series”, and "PR disasters and opportunities", complemented by a series of digital marketing and e-commerce workshops. More than 85 esteemed e-commerce pioneers, brand leaders, marketing experts and innovative entrepreneurs from around the globe were invited to dissect the latest e-commerce innovations, global marketing trends and consumer opportunities, exploring how to cultivate new growth in a rapidly shifting marketing ecosystem.When discussing the development and outlook for e-commerce, multiple industry experts at the conferences highlighted the importance of artificial intelligence (AI) applications and its latest trends. Terry Li, Vertical General Manager of Smart Retail, Tencent, noted that “AI is redefining digital commerce, and integrating AI into enterprise architecture properly is key to success. It will not destroy creativity; instead, it can inspire creativity and enable personalised customer experiences.” Bruce Pan, Cross-border Industry Operations Manager of TikTok Shop US, added that the real competitive edge will lie not in generating more content faster, but in combining creative direction, understanding the competitive edges of products and emotional storytelling.Quick commerce charts a new course for e-commerceToday's consumers have an insatiable appetite for convenience and personalisation, compelling brands to accelerate the transformation of their e-marketing strategies. Precision data and AI are fundamentally rewiring consumer experiences. Patrick Zhang, Senior BD Manager of Amazon Global Selling, pointed out that the next phase of globalisation will be defined by how quickly and accurately brands can understand local consumer needs and translate data insights into high-quality growth. Yatong Qiu, Vice President of Taobao & Tmall Group, Alibaba, highlighted how brands and merchants can deploy agile merchandising strategies, real-time digital marketing and speed-oriented approaches to upgrade supply chains and streamline order fulfilment, catering to the modern consumer's desire for "everything, instantly". And the "Decoding the Gateway to ASEAN: Cross Border Growth and Market Entry Strategies" session explored tactics for entering the ASEAN market. Speakers including Luca Barni, SVP, Commercial at Lazada Group, shared battle-tested experiences, providing a practical compass for enterprises eyeing ASEAN e-tailing expansion.Visionary insights from distinguished brand leadersAs the consumer market pivots towards experience-driven models, "taste" and "perception" have become the ultimate battlegrounds for brand competitiveness. Brands are no longer merely delivering product value; they are curating a lifestyle. The "Growth leaders" series at MarketingPulse was inaugurated by Pauline Brown, former Chairman of LVMH North America, who delivered a presentation address on “Aesthetic Intelligence”, illustrating how sensory management and design thinking can elevate brand value and customer experience. “Economic inequality, environmental threats, and the rise of AI make the pursuit of aesthetic intelligence more important than ever,” Ms Brown said. “While AI enhances efficiency, consumers care about brands creating authentic sensory pleasure. Only people can truly convey a clear, well-articulated vision that resonates with customers.”Haijun Wang, Founder, Chief Executive Officer & Chief Experience Officer of Atour Lifestyle Holdings, shared his philosophy on weaving lifestyle experiences into hotel and lifestyle brand management. By extending the "accommodation experience" into new retail, he demonstrated how to forge brand identity through lifestyle sensibilities and customer resonance. Mr Wang believes that when both service and space strike an emotional chord, the resulting customer loyalty offers an enduring competitive edge. "In the experience economy, emotional value and authentic customer advocacy are becoming more important, making experience not only a point of differentiation, but also a source of sustainable brand growth and long-term development potential,” he said.As younger generations emerge as the dominant consumer force, the dynamic between brands and youth demographics is being entirely redefined. JinHee Lee, Chief Operating Officer of South Korea's Olive Young, shared the brand's triumphant journey from local flagship to a global powerhouse. He showcased how this Korean beauty titan leverages seamless omnichannel operations and data-driven marketing strategies, using technology as a compass to build international competitiveness. “In order for a beauty brand to go global, it’s essential to develop a marketing platform that combines digital promotion and offline data,” he explained. “By integrating physical stores with online apps, we have built a seamless omnichannel ecosystem that continuously adapts to our customers’ lifestyles and needs. providing real time updates on product stock and promotions.”Crafting an immersive and unforgettable shopping experience to amplify marketing efficacy and fortify long-term brand influence has always been the golden rule for major international brands. Krzysztof Andrzej Kowal, Global Retail Design Director at YSL Beauty, L'Oréal Luxe, took the stage in the session "The Poetics of Branding: Weaving Story, Design, and Emotion into Iconic Narratives". He shared how to transform physical retail spaces into the ultimate storytelling canvas through the alchemy of "Design × Story × Emotion". He said that to build emotional connections with customers, “physical stores should transcend showcase roles to become temples of experience and content factories that generate authentic and multi-sensory moments. By blending current trends like Y2K and nostalgia, we build up our persona based on new trends while maintaining our brand culture. At the same time, we maintain a cohesive global identity while adapting to local cultures.”Creative social content ignites brand resonanceIn an era saturated with content and dictated by algorithms, brands and creators must rebuild emotional bridges through authenticity and the power of storytelling. This year's conferences approached the subject through the lenses of film, television, social media and content creation, exploring how culturally resonant content can captivate audiences and amplify brand value.Actor and "Threads Admin" Ng Siu-hin joined forces with Kenie Kwok, Creative Strategy Lead at Meta, in the dialogue "Threads for Consumer and Audience Engagement", comprehensively decoding the "traffic matrix" for the platform. Continuing the creative thread, the "Meet the celebrity dialogue series” invited actor and singer-songwriter Louis Cheung to share his creative odyssey and breakthrough moments. Spanning music to on-screen performances, Louis underscored the importance of staying true to one's original aspirations and authentic expression, inspiring brands and creators to co-create content with genuine warmth. Meanwhile, content creator and MUSE TV founder Mayao shared his ingenious use of disruptive social media promotional tactics to market music and content, leaving an indelible mark on the public consciousness.As AI permeates every aspect of the marketing and design sectors, creative thinking faces an unprecedented paradigm shift. Award-winning creative minds, including Stephen Rogers, Group Creative Director at Droga5 from Ireland, explored this dynamic in the session "Creativity & AI: Human vs Artificial Mind". The speakers revealed that human imagination and intelligent technology are engaged in a symbiotic dance rather than a zero-sum game, with industry pioneers sharing how to masterfully navigate the shifting boundaries between human intuition and AI.Practical insights and business matchmaking foster cross-sector synergyBeyond the main forums and InnoTalks series, the events introduced a new feature, “e-Commerce Connect”, that brought together nearly 30 local and international exhibitors to showcase the latest one-stop e-commerce solutions. A series of digital marketing and e-tailing workshops was also held, at which industry experts imparted strategies for AI integration, cross-border market navigation, and brand influence elevation, arming participating brands with actionable intelligence. The organiser curated multiple networking events and arranged more than 170 one-on-one business matchmaking sessions for attendees and exhibitors.

Anticipation of Unitree Robotics’ IPO Heats Up, Value Revaluation for Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Expected ACN Newswire

Anticipation of Unitree Robotics’ IPO Heats Up, Value Revaluation for Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Expected

HONG KONG, Mar 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Recently, the robot sector has garnered increasing attention, with humanoid robots and embodied AI becoming a primary focus in the capital markets. As a leading enterprise in this field, Unitree Robotics has gradually become a key benchmark for the market’s pricing of the robotics industry due to its technological progress, product iterations, brand popularity, and capitalization process. In this context, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) is being increasingly viewed by the market as a "Unitree Robotics concept stock" supported by industrial logic, owing to its investment in Unitree and its continuous layout across the robotics industry chain.It is worth noting that Shoucheng Holdings participates as more than just a financial investor. In fact, as a platform-based enterprise, Shoucheng Holdings possesses multiple capabilities, including industrial investment, scenario resources, operational expertise, and ecological synergy. Its relationship with Unitree Robotics extends beyond the capital level and may expand into scenario implementation, business synergy, and industrial empowerment in the future. This is a key factor that distinguishes it from typical concept stocks.Shoucheng Holdings’ investment in Unitree Robotics is not only a capital participation but also an effort to drive the commercialization of leading robotics companies through its own platform resources, thereby amplifying its own value within the industry chain. Market analysts believe that this "Investment + Scenario + Service + Ecosystem" model offers greater scalability than single equity investments and helps provide sustained valuation support.From a capital market perspective, Shoucheng Holdings currently possesses multiple pricing logics:Thematic Investment Logic: Analysts believe that Unitree Robotics, as a high-profile company in the robotics track, may generate a "spillover effect" on related listed companies through its brand influence and capitalization progress. In an environment of high sector activity and rising market risk appetite, this factor is expected to draw market attention to Shoucheng Holdings.Platform-Based Revaluation Logic: Some analysts point out that if Shoucheng Holdings continues to disclose progress in scenario cooperation and commercial projects with Unitree and other robotics firms, its pricing logic may shift from "concept mapping" to a "robotics industry platform." This means its valuation anchor will no longer be limited to single-project investment returns but will rely on its ability to build a scarce robotics platform asset in the Hong Kong stock market.Performance Realization and Exit Return Logic: Capital market judgment ultimately returns to the ability to deliver results. With 2026 regarded as a critical year for the industrialization and capitalization of humanoid robots, Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment portfolio is expected to enter a "harvest period," driving its valuation system from being purely expectation-driven to being driven by both expectations and performance.According to information previously disclosed by management, approximately four portfolio companies, including Unitree Robotics, are expected to initiate the IPO process in 2026. If these projects successfully enter the IPO stage, Shoucheng Holdings will not only realize capital returns but also strengthen its influence and platform status in the robotics field. Its future value will stem from a complete value loop: IPOs of invested projects, valuation increases, the release of exit returns, and deepened industrial synergy.The market is widely watching how Shoucheng Holdings' financial performance may be further enhanced as star projects like Unitree Robotics see valuation increases and as investment portfolios enter potential realization periods. Analysts suggest that if the company releases positive signals in both financial reports and capital operations, its valuation logic may upgrade from concept mapping to "performance-driven platform revaluation."Overall, the definition of Shoucheng Holdings as a "Unitree Robotics concept stock" is based on actual industrial layout and ecological capabilities rather than simple thematic association. In the short term, the company serves as a vehicle for the spillover of Unitree’s popularity; in the medium term, it may benefit from the overall valuation rise of the robotics sector; and in the long term, its value anchor is expected to evolve into an asset with both industrial platform attributes and performance realization capabilities.Industry analysis suggests that as the capitalization expectations of portfolio companies like Unitree Robotics heat up, Shoucheng Holdings is poised to benefit from the dual feedback of asset revaluation and earnings growth. Driven by these factors, the company’s growth potential and valuation elasticity are well-positioned for release. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Global Capital Reset Takes Centre Stage at Hall Chadwick’s U.S. Capital Access Forum in Singapore ACN Newswire

Global Capital Reset Takes Centre Stage at Hall Chadwick’s U.S. Capital Access Forum in Singapore

HONG KONG, March 20, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Against a backdrop of rising geopolitical tension, shifting trade alliances and accelerating technological disruption, global corporate leaders and investors gathered in Singapore last week for Hall Chadwick’s U.S. Capital Access Forum: the Art of an IPO, exploring how companies are repositioning themselves for a new era of global capital formation.Held over two days at Capella Hotel, Sentosa Island, Singapore, the Forum convened senior executives, capital markets leaders and technology innovators to examine the evolving relationship between capital markets, supply chains, emerging technologies and national economic strategy.Participants also explored how geopolitical competition, industrial policy and supply-chain realignment are reshaping investment flows across sectors including critical minerals, artificial intelligence, digital assets and financial infrastructure.The Forum featured Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, as keynote speaker. In his address, he discussed how the world is increasingly recognising the risks of strategic dependence within global supply chains and the need for nations and corporations to strengthen domestic and allied production capacity in critical sectors. He also emphasised that capital markets are increasingly shaped by geopolitical and policy considerations, particularly in areas such as energy, technology and industrial capability.The programme also brought together senior industry figures including Robert Friedland, Founder and Executive Co-Chairman of Ivanhoe Mines; Bob McCooey, Chairman of Nasdaq APAC; Mick McMullen, Chairman of Metals Acquisition Corp II; Dulguun Erdenebaatar, CEO of Boroo Pte Ltd; Jared Shaw, CFO of Animoca Brands; Amar Bedi, CEO of Tashi Network; Gary Dugan, CEO of The Global CIO Office; and David Brudenell, Co-CEO of Decidr.ai, and many more.Across the programme, speakers examined the growing convergence of capital markets, technology and geopolitics, with particular attention to how global companies can access U.S. capital markets while navigating regulatory shifts, supply-chain volatility and emerging technological disruption.Opening the Forum, Hall Chadwick Managing Partner Richard Albarran said the global investment landscape is entering a new phase in which capital access, technological capability and geopolitical positioning are increasingly intertwined.Richard Albarran, Managing Partner of Hall Chadwick, said: “We are entering a period where capital markets, critical resources and technological capability are becoming deeply intertwined with national economic strategy.This Forum was created to bring together global leaders to explore how companies can access U.S. capital markets while navigating an increasingly complex geopolitical and investment landscape.”Albarran noted that Hall Chadwick is actively supporting companies pursuing international capital strategies, including transactions announced during the Forum involving major critical minerals and energy infrastructure projects.A major theme across the Forum was the restructuring of global supply chains and the increasing strategic importance of energy transition resources and critical minerals, which are becoming central to both economic development and national security.During the panel discussion “The Supply Chain Scramble”, Mick McMullen, Chairman of Metals Acquisition Corp II, and Dulguun Erdenebaatar, Chief Executive Officer of Boroo Pte Ltd, joined Rod Colwell, CEO of Controlled Thermal Resources, and Tony Sage, CEO of Critical Metals Corp, to share their perspectives on the growing urgency of securing strategic resources, strengthening downstream processing capabilities and building more resilient supply chains amid rising geopolitical competition.Capital markets leaders also examined how global exchanges are adapting to evolving cross-border listing trends, particularly as companies explore U.S. IPO and SPAC structures to access international capital.Sharing at the panel discussion “Future Vibrancy on Nasdaq: AI & Robotics”, Bob McCooey, Chairman of Nasdaq APAC, said: “Most companies belong in their local markets, but every year a number of companies with global ambitions choose to list internationally. When they make that decision, we believe Nasdaq offers the strongest platform for global capital and liquidity.”Sessions also explored topics ranging from the institutional integration of digital assets and stablecoins, to the growing role of artificial intelligence in enterprise systems and capital markets infrastructure.Speakers highlighted the increasing strategic importance of AI-driven enterprise capability, with companies seeking to develop sovereign technology infrastructure capable of supporting global scale and resilience.Throughout the Forum, participants discussed how investors and corporations are navigating a period of heightened volatility while positioning themselves for the next phase of global economic growth.Many noted that the interplay between capital markets, geopolitical competition, technological innovation and industrial policy will likely define global investment strategies for the coming decade.The Forum concluded with a forward-looking discussion on how corporations and investors are adapting to a rapidly evolving global landscape shaped by geopolitical competition, supply-chain realignment and accelerating technological change. Participants noted that access to deep and liquid capital markets, particularly in the United States, will remain a critical advantage for companies seeking to scale globally, while cross-border hubs such as Singapore will continue to play an important role in facilitating capital flows between East and West.Reflecting the growing convergence between energy infrastructure, critical minerals and global capital markets, the Forum also coincided with the announcement of a proposed business combination between Controlled Thermal Resources (CTR) and Plum Acquisition Corp. IV, which would enable CTR to advance development of its Hell’s Kitchen geothermal and critical minerals project in California. Hall Chadwick is serving as exclusive corporate, financial and lead capital markets advisor to CTR on the transaction.Richard Albarran, Managing Partner, Hall Chadwick, delivers opening remarks at the U.S. Capital Access Forum: The Art of an IPO, held at Capella Hotel, Sentosa Island, Singapore.Donald Trump Jr., Executive Vice President, The Trump Organization, delivers the keynote address “Trade, Sovereignty & the Capital Reset” at the U.S. Capital Access Forum in Singapore.Robert Friedland, Founder and Executive Co-Chairman, Ivanhoe Mines, speaks during his keynote address “The Dawn of the Copper Age” at the U.S. Capital Access Forum.Bob McCooey, Chairman, Nasdaq APAC, speaks at the panel discussion “Future Vibrancy on Nasdaq: AI & Robotics” and delivers closing remarks at the U.S. Capital Access Forum.Panel discussion “The Supply Chain Scramble” at the U.S. Capital Access Forum.From left to right:Lucy Greenleaf, Co-master of ceremoniesRod Colwell, Chief Executive Officer, ACR;Mick McMullen, Chairman, Metals Acquisition Corp II;Tony Sage, Chief Executive Officer, Critical Metals Corp;Dulguun Erdenebaatar, Chief Executive Officer, Boroo Pte Ltd.
