Green SM brings modern and safe mobility, professionally operated services and goodfares to enhance the everyday travel experience for local residents.

Entering Los Angeles brings Green SM into one of the world’s most dynamic and demanding markets. It also marks another step in the international expansion of the Vietnamese mobility brand, following its rapid growth across markets in Asia and Europe.

Starting October 13, customers in Los Angeles can book Green SM rides through the Green SM app, by calling the company’s hotline or by hailing a vehicle on the street. With its growing service network, Green SM will cater to a wide range of mobility needs, from everyday trips and longer journeys to airport transfers.

Green SM is committed to delivering a high-quality customer experience through its 5 Good Promises: Good Cars, Good Drivers, Good Price, Good Experience and Good for the Environment. In Los Angeles, Green SM operates a 100% all-electric fleet of VinFast vehicles, featuring spacious, smooth and modern VinFast VF 8 models; a professional and courteous driver team carefully selected and thoroughly trained; transparent fare information and promotions; and attentive, reliable service designed to give customers rides that are not only greener, but also comfortable and dependable.

In addition, customers can enjoy a complimentary Green Pass membership, which includes 10 discount vouchers per month, each offering 30% off fares, up to USD 10 per ride.

Ms. Hoang Thanh Hang, CEO of Green SM in the U.S., said: “The United States represents an important milestone in Green SM’s growth journey. We are not simply expanding into a new market.We aim to build trust with customers, drivers and local communities, one journey at a time. Our experience across international markets has shown us that the future of electric mobility is not defined by an all-electric fleet alone. It also depends on service quality, well-trained and reliable drivers, and genuine care in every customer interaction.”

Following the launch, Green SM will gradually build its local team and strengthen its operational capabilities, while recruiting and training local drivers. Through these efforts, Green SM aims not only to create new employment opportunities, but also to make a direct contribution to the transition toward greener mobility in Los Angeles and across the region.

Founded in Vietnam in 2023, Green SM currently operates a green mobility ecosystem across Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, the Philippines, India, Kazakhstan, Denmark and the Netherlands. As part of its global expansion, Green SM has completed approximately 850 million rides, covering a total distance of nearly 6 billion kilometers, helping reduce more than 800,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to the amount of carbon absorbed by approximately 36 million trees.

Green SM’s presence in the United States combines VinFast’s strengths in all-electric vehicles with Green SM’s operational expertise, giving customers an additional option for smooth, comfortable and zero-emission mobility. This also marks an important milestone in the global growth journey of the Vietnamese all-electric ride-hailing company.

Represents approximately US$500,000 in potential minimum purchases over the initial term and targets growing demand for medication temperature protection across insulin, GLP-1 therapies, biologics and other injectable medications

Toronto, Ontario – Newsfile Corp. – October 15, 2026 – TempraMed Technologies Ltd. (CSE: VIVI) (FSE: 9DY) (OTCQB: TMPTF) (“TempraMed” or the “Company“), a medical-technology innovator transforming how temperature-sensitive medications are stored and managed, is pleased to announce that it has executed a definitive exclusive distribution agreement dated September 14, 2026 (the “Distribution Agreement“) with OGM For Import Medicine and Medical Supplies (the “Distributor” or “OGM”) for the commercialization of TempraMed products in the State of Kuwait.

Highlights

• Distribution Agreement covers TempraMed’s commercial product portfolio, including VIVI Cap®, VIVI Cap® Smart VIVI® Med and VIVI Epi®
• Distribution Agreement has an initial 36-month term and includes minimum annual purchase commitments representing approximately US$500,000 in potential minimum purchases over the initial three-year term, subject to regulatory clearance, continued compliance with the Distribution Agreement and fulfillment of applicable purchase commitments
• Kuwait represents a high-potential Gulf healthcare market due to high diabetes prevalence, high obesity rates, growing use of GLP-1 therapies and increasing utilization of biologics and specialty injectable medications
• The Distribution Agreement supports TempraMed’s strategy to expand through exclusive international distribution partners in high-temperature markets where medication temperature protection is a practical healthcare need

Executive Commentary

Under the Distribution Agreement, with a three-year commercial opportunity of approximately US$500,000, OGM will serve as TempraMed’s exclusive distributor in Kuwait for the Company’s products, including VIVI Cap™, VIVI Cap Smart™, VIVI Med™ and VIVI Epi™. The Distribution Agreement has an initial term of 36 months and is intended to support the registration, marketing, promotion, sale and distribution of TempraMed products in Kuwait.

“This definitive agreement represents another important step in building TempraMed’s international commercial infrastructure,” said Ron Nagar, CEO and Founder of TempraMed. “Kuwait is a strategically attractive Gulf market because patients using insulin, GLP-1 therapies, biologics and other injectable medications must protect these products in real-world conditions, including extreme heat, commuting, travel and pharmacy-to-home transport.”

“Converting our Kuwait opportunity into a definitive exclusive distribution agreement demonstrates continued execution of our strategy,” added Nagar. “While the approximately US$500,000 potential over the initial three-year term is important, the broader strategic value is establishing a local commercial partner in a high-temperature market where medication protection is both clinically relevant and commercially scalability.”

Kuwait Market Opportunity for Medication Temperature Protection

Kuwait represents a compelling market for TempraMed products due to several independent healthcare and environmental factors.

The International Diabetes Federation reports that Kuwait has one of the highest adult diabetes prevalence rates globally, with approximately 908,500 adults living with diabetes and an adult diabetes prevalence of approximately 25.6% in 2024. Diabetes management often involves insulin and other injectable therapies that require proper storage and protection from temperature exposure.

Obesity also represents a major healthcare challenge in Kuwait and is a key driver of demand for GLP-1 therapies used in diabetes and weight management. Independent market research identifies Kuwait as a relevant market for GLP-1 receptor agonists and semaglutide products, reflecting the broader growth of injectable therapies used for metabolic disease and weight management.

In addition, published research on diabetes drug utilization in Kuwait found that injectable therapies, including insulin glargine and GLP-1 receptor agonists, represent important components of diabetes treatment, and that diabetes-related drug costs account for a significant share of Kuwait’s total drug expenditures. Management believes these dynamics support the need for solutions that help preserve medication integrity, reduce waste and increase patient confidence.

Kuwait’s climate further reinforces the need for medication protection. Kuwait’s government describes the country’s climate as having a long, hot summer, with extremely high recorded temperatures. This creates practical daily challenges for patients carrying temperature-sensitive medications during travel, commuting, work, school, outdoor activity and pharmacy-to-home transport.

About OGM For Import Medicine and Medical Supplies

OGM Medical is a Kuwait-based company with its parent company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, specializing in the distribution and marketing of innovative medical devices, aesthetic technologies, and healthcare solutions. The company serves as the exclusive distributor and authorized representative of several international brands, offering high-quality products to the healthcare and aesthetic sectors.

OGM Medical has established an extensive commercial network and strong market presence in Kuwait, with direct access to leading hospitals, major medical centers, specialized clinics, and pharmacy chains. Furthermore, the company maintains strong professional relationships with key stakeholders and relevant regulatory authorities, including the Kuwait Ministry of Health, enabling it to effectively navigate the local healthcare market, support regulatory processes, and facilitate successful product launches and market expansion.

TempraMed Technologies Ltd. is a global medical-device company with a portfolio of innovative, temperature-controlled medication-storage solutions. Founded with the mission to safeguard the effectiveness of life-saving medications, TempraMed develops patented, FDA-registered thermal-insulation devices that operate continuously without batteries or external power.

New consumer-centric platform gives customers a single digital account for protection, services and lifestyle benefits, supported by a growing ecosystem of merchant partners

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 October 2026 – Tune Protect Group Berhad (“Tune Protect” or “the Group”) announced the launch of TPXtra, a new consumer-centric digital platform that gives customers a single account for insurance protection, value-added services and lifestyle experiences, while establishing a direct and ongoing relationship with Tune Protect beyond the point of purchase.

TPXtra brings these experiences together. Through a single Tune Protect account, customers can access their protection, services and entitlements in one place at any point in time. It is an open platform that extends beyond insurance, currently connecting customers with a range of travel, mobility, and lifestyle services.

At its core, TPXtra puts customers in control through customisation, allowing them to tailor their protection to their needs and budget, while offering complementary ancillary services, and deliver greater value when purchased together. This flexible approach gives customers more relevance and control over what they choose to protect, access and experience.

Powered by White Label Sdn. Bhd. (“White Label“), Tune Protect’s technology arm, TPXtra serves as the digital platform underpinning the Group’s Beyond Insurance strategy. While Tune Protect has traditionally engaged customers through partner booking platforms, TPXtra creates a direct-to-consumer relationship, enabling the Group to support customers throughout their journey rather than at a single transaction point.

Mr How Kim Lian (“How”), Group Chief Executive Officer of Tune Protect Group Berhad, said, “A digital ecosystem is only as valuable as the reasons it gives customers to come back. We are looking to work with merchant partners who can enrich the consumer journey by integrating relevant lifestyle solutions and experiences into the platform. Each partnership strengthens our direct relationship with customers, and it is this relationship, rather than any single product, that we are building for the long term.”

Tune Protect has been expanding its merchant network across connectivity, airport lounges, ground transfers and mobility, and soon venturing into telehealth, motor care and everyday lifestyle services, creating a broader ecosystem designed around customers’ needs throughout their travel and everyday experiences.

The first offering within TPXtra is Travel Beyond, a travel protection and services proposition designed around flexibility and choice. Customers can customise their coverage based on their travel needs and budget, selecting only the protection and benefits relevant to them. By bringing protection and value-added services together, TPXtra gives customers greater value through a broader range of benefits and experiences in one place. Beyond insurance, Travel Beyond integrates a range of travel services that support each stage of the journey, including eSIM connectivity, Delay Pass benefits, airport lounge access and airport transfers, allowing customers to select solutions that suit their individual needs and preferences, with these services bookable and redeemable through the same account.

How added, “For many, insurance is something they purchase quickly at checkout and rarely think about again. Meanwhile, other lifestyle essentials such as connectivity, lounge access or airport transfers are purchased and managed through separate platforms. They can choose the services that best suit their needs, add services as their plans evolve, and access them throughout their journey, whether they are planning from home, at the airport or already on the move. When they travel again, their account is ready with their existing information and services, making it easier to manage their travel needs from one place.”

For merchant partners, TPXtra provides them the access to customers at relevant touch points within the platform. Through TPXtra and Tune Protect’s wider regional distribution channels, partners can reach customers without having to build the same distribution infrastructure independently. Several partners are already live, with Tune Protect continuing to welcome merchants and service providers that can add value to customer experience while expanding the range of solutions available on the platform.

Looking ahead, Tune Protect plans to expand TPXtra beyond travel, with Motor Beyond and Home Beyond set to launch from the end of 2026 onwards. For customers, this means the same account will extend into mobility and home solutions, enabling them to manage multiple aspects of their lifestyle through a single profile and ongoing relationship with Tune Protect.

For more information, please visit https://tpxtra.tuneprotect.com/travel-beyond/ or download the Tune Protect mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
