Together, these elements created a seamless dialogue between the past, present, and future, reflecting how time brings cultures and generations of people together.

Amendment extends TEM relationship beyond Panama into additional Latin American markets, adds VIVI Med(TM) to the distribution framework, and supports broader regional availability following product registrations

Highlights

• TempraMed and TEM Consulting International S.A. execute amendment expanding the distribution relationship beyond Panama to additional Latin American markets.
• The amended framework adds VIVI Med™ to the covered product portfolio, alongside VIVI Cap™ and VIVI Epi™.
• TempraMed received an additional commercial order from TEM, expected to be fulfilled by the end of September 2026.
• Initial extended-territory framework contemplates minimum units across the added countries, with additional annual commitments tied to exclusivity.
• Once required registrations are completed, TempraMed products are expected to be available through distribution relationships covering seven Latin American countries representing a substantial majority of the region’s population.
• TempraMed expects to raise up toC$1,000,000 through non-brokered private placement of Units

Toronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – September 24, 2026) – TempraMed Technologies Ltd. (CSE: VIVI) (OTCQB: TMPTF) (FSE: 9DY) (“TempraMed” or the “Company“), a medical-technology innovator transforming how temperature-sensitive medications are stored and managed, is pleased to announce that it has entered into an amendment dated September 23, 2026 (the “Amended Agreement“) to its definitive exclusive distribution agreement with TEM Consulting International S.A. (“TEM“), expanding the relationship beyond Panama into additional Latin American markets and adding VIVI Med™ to the distribution framework.

In connection with the amendment, TempraMed has received an additional commercial order from TEM, which the Company expects to fulfill by the end of September 2026. The additional order follows the previously announced transition of the parties’ relationship from a non-binding LOI into a definitive exclusive distribution agreement for Panama and reflects TEM’s continued market-development activity for TempraMed products across the region.

The amendment extends the distribution territory to include Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia and Costa Rica, in addition to TEM’s existing Panama relationship. Separately, TempraMed has previously announced distribution initiatives in Brazil and Mexico. Once required registrations and launch activities are completed in the applicable markets, TempraMed products are expected to be available through distribution relationships covering seven Latin American countries: Panama, Argentina, Venezuela, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Brazil.

Expanded Commercial Framework

The Amended Agreement includes an initial commercial extended-territory order across the added countries. Units under the initial extended-territory order may consist of any combination of VIVI Cap™, VIVI Epi™ and VIVI Med™, at TEM’s election.

The amendment also adds VIVI Med™ to the products covered under the agreement. VIVI Med™ is designed to expand TempraMed’s temperature-protection platform beyond standard insulin pens to include vials, biologics, and other temperature-sensitive medications and supplies, supporting the Company’s broader portfolio strategy in Latin America.

TEM will be responsible, at its sole cost, for obtaining required governmental licenses, registrations, approvals, importation authorizations, customs clearance, labeling compliance and other regulatory or commercial requirements necessary to commercialize the products in each applicable country.

Seven-Country Latin American Coverage Opportunity

With the existing Panama agreement, the expanded territory under the Amended Agreement, and TempraMed’s separate Brazil and Mexico initiatives, the Company is building a distribution footprint that is expected to cover seven countries in South and Central America once products are registered in each applicable market.

Management believes this represents an important regional scale opportunity. Based on World Bank population data, Latin America and the Caribbean had approximately 666.6 million people in 2025. The seven countries covered by TempraMed’s current and contemplated distribution initiatives collectively represent more than 70% of that regional population.

Latin America is an important growth region for TempraMed because many patients use temperature-sensitive medications in hot climates and in settings where daily travel, pharmacy-to-home transport, outdoor work, power interruptions and fragmented healthcare access can increase the risk of medication temperature exposure. TempraMed’s product portfolio is designed to provide practical, passive, reusable protection for insulin, GLP-1 therapies, biologics, epinephrine auto-injectors, vials and other temperature-sensitive medications without batteries, charging or external power.

The expanded relationship with TEM supports TempraMed’s strategy to build a scalable international distribution network through established healthcare distributors, clinics, pharmacies and medical channels. Management believes the addition of VIVI Med™ further broadens the commercial opportunity by extending the Company’s product offering to additional medication formats and higher-value therapeutic categories.

“The expansion of our relationship with TEM marks another important step in converting our international distribution strategy into commercial execution,” said Ron Nagar, Chief Executive Officer of TempraMed. “We began with Panama, moved into a definitive agreement, fulfilled an initial commercial order, and are now expanding the relationship into additional Latin American markets while receiving another commercial order expected to be fulfilled by the end of September. This is exactly the type of execution progress we want to demonstrate to investors.”

“Once required registrations are completed, this relationship and our broader Latin American initiatives are expected to provide access to seven countries representing a substantial majority of the region’s population,” added Nagar. “The addition of VIVI Med is also significant because it expands our addressable opportunity beyond insulin pens to vials, biologics and other temperature-sensitive medications. We believe this creates a stronger, more diversified platform for long-term growth in Latin America.”

Private Placement

TempraMed also announces a non-brokered private placement (the “Offering“) of up to 2,000,000 units of the Company (each, a “Unit”) at a price of C$0.50 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to C$1,000,000. Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (each, a “Share“) and one Share purchase warrant of the Company (each, a “Warrant“). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one additional Share at a price of C$1.00 at any time on or before the date which is 18 months after the closing date of the Offering.

The proposed use of proceeds from the Offering is to fund new inventory, product development, and to scale the sales and marketing division globally, as well as general working capital.

In accordance with applicable securities laws, the Shares, Warrants and any additional Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period in Canada from the date of closing of the Offering. The Warrants issued to certain of the investors will be subject to a restriction preventing their exercise if such exercise would result in the holder holding over 9.99% of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company. Accordingly, it is anticipated that there will be no new insiders as a result of the Offering.

Closing of the Offering is anticipated to occur on or before September 30, 2026 or such other date or dates as may be determined by the Company, subject to the receipt of investor documentation, funds and compliance with the requirements of the Canadian Securities Exchange (“CSE“).

In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay a finder’s fee to certain qualified arm’s length parties a cash finder’s fee equal to 7% of the gross proceeds raised and a number of common shares (“Finder’s Shares“) equal to 7% of the number of Units placed by such finder.

The securities of the Company referred to in this press release have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), or any state securities laws. Accordingly, the securities of the Company may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy any securities of the Company in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 September 2026 – KASIKORN Business-Technology Group (KBTG) hosted the fourth edition of KBTG Techtopia under the theme, “Human of Tomorrow,” providing a platform for knowledge exchange on technology and the future of humanity in the AI era. The event brought together the insights of more than 80 experts from the public sector, business community, and technology industry across three main stages covering diverse aspects of work and life in the new digital age. The event also featured a wide range of activities designed to empower individuals and organizations.

Ms. Voranuch Dejakaisaya, KBTG Executive Chairman, said that KBTG recently hosted the fourth edition of KBTG Techtopia under the theme, “Human of Tomorrow,” bringing together more than 80 experts from diverse sectors to exchange perspectives on AI and the role of humans in the future. The event featured three main discussion stages and a range of activities designed to empower individuals and organizations, and prepare them to navigate the changes of the modern world. Today, AI has evolved from being merely a tool into an integral part of work and everyday life, particularly agentic AI, which can make decisions and perform certain tasks autonomously. Nevertheless, KBTG believes that amid rapid technological advancement, human value and potential remain the driving force in shaping the future, reflecting the “Human-First x AI-First” philosophy that the organization has consistently embraced.

One of the topics that KBTG Techtopia: Human of Tomorrow explored was how humans adapt in the AI era, comprising six key pillars: 1) The New Reality – Competing not with others, but with your past self by embracing new knowledge and emerging tools; 2) The AI-Driven Must-Do – Driving AI adoption through high-quality data and responsible governance; 3) Risk Management – Never treating AI-generated outputs as the final answer, but validating information and applying human judgment in every decision; 4) From Global Shift to Local Impact – Accelerating new skill development and advancing Thailand’s 10 strategic sectors to strengthen global competitiveness; 5) Reclaiming Your Life – Using AI to automate repetitive work, giving people more time to create meaningful and creative value; and 6) Become the One Who Masters the Machine – Ensuring that humans remain in control of how technology is designed and applied.

The morning sessions focused on the economy, emerging technologies, and practical applications of AI for business performance, while the afternoon program expanded to organizational transformation, education, financial innovation, cybersecurity, and human relationships in the digital age. The event featured renowned speakers from Thailand and abroad, including Ms. Suphajee Suthumpun, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, sharing perspectives on new opportunities for the Thai economy; Ms. Jessica Rosenworcel, Executive Director of the MIT Media Lab, discussing technology and trust in the modern world; and Dr. Pat Pataranutaporn, exploring the future relationship between humans and AI.

In addition, the event featured a range of experiential learning activities, including the Innovation Showcase, an exhibition space featuring innovations from KBTG, KBank, and leading technology partners; the Playground Workshop, which offered hands-on skill-building sessions; and the Community Circle, a platform for exchanging ideas among participants and the technology community through 10 thoughtfully curated discussions designed to inspire and help translate knowledge into practical applications.

Ms. Voranuch added that KBTG remains committed to the “Human-First x AI-First” approach in developing technology and innovation. This strategy aims to equip individuals and organizations with the skills needed to navigate future global shifts, grounded in the belief that while human roles will continue to evolve, innate human value remains essential and can be amplified through technology. Furthermore, KBTG intends for participants to gain actionable knowledge and practical insights, while continuing to support KBank’s mission to deliver value to customers, businesses, and society through sustainable, high-impact innovation.

Performances, culinary traditions, and a new partnership mark 35 years of diplomatic relations

BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, BRUNEI – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 September 2026 – The year 2026 marks the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Brunei Darussalam. To celebrate this milestone, the China Intercontinental Communication Center (CICC), under China’s State Council Information Office, organized a series of cultural exchange events in Brunei, including “My Dream” performances, the Brunei China Food Festival 2026, and the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement. Through the arts and cuisine, these events deepened cultural understanding and strengthened the longstanding friendship between the two countries.

On September 18 and 19, artists with disabilities from China and Brunei shared the stage in two performances of “My Dream” at the Jerudong International School theater. The event was jointly organized by the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Brunei Darussalam, CICC, Brunei’s Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, and the Brunei-China Friendship Association, with support from the Chinese People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and Brunei’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. More than 1,100 people attended the two performances. Guests included members of Prince Mohamed Bolkiah’s family; Pengiran Shamhary, minister of Culture, Youth and Sports; Mohd Riza bin Haji Mohd Yunos, minister of Transport and Infocommunications; and other dignitaries and foreign envoys. The audiences also included members of Brunei’s business, arts, and education communities, people with disabilities, and young people.

In his remarks, Chinese Ambassador to Brunei Chen Shaochun highlighted the progress in bilateral relations over the past 35 years and reaffirmed China’s commitment to friendly relations with its neighbors. He said China was ready to work with Brunei, under the strategic guidance of the two heads of state, to strengthen strategic mutual trust, expand practical cooperation across a range of fields, and advance the building of a China-Brunei community with a shared future. In a written message for the event, Pengiran Shamhary, minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, said performances and cultural exchanges helped the two countries better understand and appreciate each other’s values and aspirations—an essential foundation for lasting friendship. Arts and culture, he noted, bring people together, create opportunities for cooperation, and empower individuals.

Forty-five members of the China Disabled People’s Performing Art Troupe presented more than 10 works, including “Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva” and “Scholars with Paper Fans.” They shared the stage with 20 local performers with disabilities from Pusat Ehsan Al-Ameerah Al-Hajjah Maryam and Pusat Bahagia. The program included favorites such as “The Moon Represents My Heart” and “Aku yang Dulu Bukan yang Sekarang.” The heartfelt performances drew prolonged applause and moved many audience members to tears. The troupe also visited schools and communities for performances and exchanges, giving more people a chance to experience the artists’ talent and resilience firsthand. Dr. Muhammad Firdaus bin Abdul Rahman, president of the Brunei-China Friendship Association, said the troupe’s return after more than two decades, this time sharing the stage with local artists with disabilities, demonstrated the enduring friendship and close personal ties between the two countries. These cultural connections, he said, strengthened efforts to build a China-Brunei community with a shared future.

The celebration continued on the evening of September 20 with the opening ceremony and reception for the Brunei China Food Festival 2026 at Emperor’s Court Restaurant. Master chefs from Donglaishun and Quanjude, recognized for preserving culinary traditions designated as intangible cultural heritage, demonstrated traditional techniques, including hand-slicing lamb and roasting ducks suspended in an oven, showcasing Beijing’s halal cuisine and China’s broader halal food traditions. Guests included Legislative Council members Suyoi Osman and Lau How Teck, other dignitaries, and friends from across Bruneian society. Ambassador Chen described food as a language that transcends borders. He invited guests to discover China’s diverse flavors and, through its cuisine, experience a country rich in heritage, open to the world, and full of vitality. Following the opening, the festival will run for a week and welcome the public to explore Chinese food and culture.

During the visit, CICC and the Brunei-China Friendship Association signed a framework agreement establishing a long-term strategic partnership. The agreement covers arts and culture, youth exchanges, cultural tourism and food, charitable and cultural initiatives, and people-to-people exchanges across ASEAN. At the signing ceremony, Huang Jing, Director of CICC’s Cultural Exchange Center, said the center would work with its Bruneian partners on more cultural exchange programs rooted in local communities and built around personal connections, bringing the people of China and Brunei closer together.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 September 2026 – Harmony Funeral Care has introduced a 24-hour emergency funeral response service designed to provide families with initial assistance and guidance within one hour of receiving a call, subject to circumstances and location.

The Singapore-based funeral service provider supports families with funeral planning, care and collection of the deceased, wake arrangements, religious coordination, cremation and other arrangements required following a death. Its services cover Buddhist, Taoist, Christian, Roman Catholic, Soka and non-religious funeral arrangements.

24-Hour Support for Families

Funeral arrangements may need to be initiated at short notice, particularly when a death occurs at home, in a hospital or under other circumstances. Harmony Funeral Care provides 24-hour assistance to help families understand the immediate steps involved and determine the arrangements required.

Following the initial contact, the funeral team discusses the family’s preferences, religious or cultural requirements, wake arrangements and proposed funeral schedule before arrangements are confirmed.

“Funeral arrangements are personal to every family. We take time to understand their traditions and requirements before arranging the funeral,” said a representative of Harmony Funeral Care.

Supporting Different Religious and Cultural Requirements
Funeral practices can vary according to an individual’s religious beliefs, cultural traditions and family preferences. Harmony Funeral Care works with families to coordinate the relevant religious and practical arrangements based on their requirements.

For Buddhist funeral services, the 1-hour response focuses on immediate guidance, explaining the next steps, required documentation, and collection of the deceased where applicable. Detailed arrangements such as monk chanting, incense and offerings, religious rites, wake setup, casket arrangements and cremation coordination are then discussed with the family in a follow-up planning session to reflect the Buddhist traditions they wish to observe.

More Than Six Decades of Family Heritage

Harmony Funeral Care’s involvement in the funeral profession dates back to 1963, when Hock Hin Undertaker was established by Mr Tee Hock Chwee. The family’s involvement in funeral services has continued across three generations.

The company draws on this longstanding experience while adapting its funeral planning and support services to the requirements of families today.

Supporting Families Through the Funeral Process
From the initial call through to the completion of the funeral, Harmony Funeral Care provides support across the various stages of funeral planning. These may include the collection and care of the deceased, funeral arrangements, wake setup, religious coordination, funeral-day arrangements and cremation.

The company said its approach is to discuss arrangements with each family before they are confirmed, recognising that funeral requirements can differ according to religious practices, cultural traditions and individual preferences.Hashtag: #HamonyFuneralCare

Following the Desert diamonds Asian launch, natural diamonds open a further contemporary chapter

BEIJING, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 September 2026 – Carrying forward the afterglow of the dazzling Desert diamonds Asian launch, the short-form drama ‘You Shine So Bright’ lands with cinematic images and a finely worked story, setting the lasting allure of natural diamonds within the landscape of contemporary city life. Both a continuation and a renewal of De Beers Group’s storytelling for the natural diamond category, the series connects the stones to modern living through narrative, presenting their core qualities across a range of settings—fashion appeal, emotional value, and origins that can be scientifically identified and verified. The drama goes live on 21 September on Hongguo, Douyin, Kuaishou and other platforms, showing natural diamonds as they are worn from one day to the next while deepening consumers’ understanding of, and trust in, the qualities that set these stones apart.

Desert diamonds are natural diamonds raised into a contemporary image. Drawing on what the desert stands for—age, rarity and the refining work of time—the category answers both the preciousness of a stone formed over billions of years and a younger generation’s regard for authenticity, individuality and inner radiance. Since the Desert diamonds Asian launch in Shanghai in July, De Beers Group has used the drama form to bring natural diamonds more widely into daily life as a vehicle for shared stories, emotional connection and inheritance. The drama also carries the truth of Desert diamonds to a wider group of young consumers, turning what began as a single content experiment into an elevated telling of the Desert diamonds story for the present day.

A new narrative form: widening the conversation through short-form drama

As Gen Z and younger audiences become a significant force in the market, the way content is consumed has shifted. De Beers Group answers that shift with a premium short-form drama, its plot carefully constructed and its storytelling close to lived experience. The ideas, values and meaning a natural diamond carries are folded into the turns of the story without visible seams, surfacing between the movement of the plot and the feelings of its characters, and moving the viewer before they have noticed. With a tight narrative rhythm, sharply drawn characters and a range of everyday settings, the short-form drama has become a new kind of content that finds an echo with younger audiences. ‘You Shine So Bright’ sets natural diamonds inside its characters’ relationships and daily lives, showing their fashion appeal, emotional value and traceable origin where story and feeling meet, so that younger viewers rediscover the charm and meaning of natural diamonds from a vantage point closer to their own lives, and find in the stones a value that has lasted and still feels current.

The drama brings together well-known actors from mainland China and Hong Kong with an experienced creative team for a production made to premium standards, in which visual style, costume and jewellery pairing have each been worked through in detail. Rather than conventional brand placement, the series leads with story, folding the identification and traceability of natural diamonds—and the technology behind the Tracr platform—into the plot itself. Costume and natural diamond jewellery are matched to each character’s temperament and setting, so that the pieces are not only part of a look but echo who the characters are and how their feelings develop, giving the series a visual aesthetic that pairs fashionable taste with a refined finish.

Ten looks, ten ways of wearing diamonds

Natural diamonds move with the leads through work, social life, leisure and love, versatile enough to sit at ease in everyday moments and grand occasions alike. The series builds ten jewellery looks, spanning banquets and parties, romantic evenings, the working day, sport and leisure, and time at home. In full dress or in something plain, the stones reflect a different side of the wearer’s character and style each time, offering women today a range of ideas for how diamonds might be worn—jewellery not only lighting a look but becoming a language of personal style.

Through its characters and the turns of its plot, ‘You Shine So Bright’ gives natural diamonds a fuller narrative weight across different settings. A diamond shapes a character’s style, and it enters the story alongside emotional developments and the milestones of a life, so that jewellery, character and feeling are woven together, showing the many ways a natural diamond finds its place in daily life.

An heirloom carries love forward

‘You Shine So Bright’ is a premium short-form drama that draws together family inheritance, romance, professional rivalry and mystery. The story turns on a jewellery group and two young creative companies, and amid rivalry at work, clashes of feeling and the growth of its characters, the disappearance of an heirloom natural diamond draws out a series of puzzles and becomes the thread that carries the plot forward. As the truth emerges, so do the love, the inheritance and the real value that the diamond holds.

As the story develops, the meaning of a natural diamond extends from outward style to inward feeling. It witnesses love and commitment, it accompanies personal growth and it marks the valuable moments of a life—a lasting choice, whether to reward oneself or to keep a good memory close. With family inheritance and sincere feeling beneath it, the drama makes the natural diamond a token that links past, present and future, holding love and commitment through the passage of the years.

Formed over billions of years, every natural diamond holds the preciousness and the rarity that only time confers, and no two are exactly alike—as no two attachments, and no two family stories, carry the same mark. When a stone passes from one moment of a life to the next, and from one generation’s keeping into the next generation’s company, what is handed on is not only a lasting brilliance but the memories, the feelings and the stories that come with it.

Scientifically identifiable, traceable to source: trust built on truth

When the disappearance of the heirloom drives the story to its height, the identification and traceability of a natural diamond enter the mystery as evidence. As the investigator works step by step towards the truth, the science by which a diamond can be identified and its origin traced is written into the unfolding plot, and a gripping story shows what makes a natural diamond authentic, transparent and worthy of trust.

The Tracr natural diamond traceability platform uses blockchain technology to give each stone its own digital identity, recording the information attached to it from source through to retail so that its origin and passage can be checked. Through a form close to the audiences it reaches, ‘You Shine So Bright’ carries the fashion appeal, emotional value and specialist technology of natural diamonds into the telling. The core values of identification and traceability emerge naturally through the characters and the plot, so that a viewer caught up in the story also comes to understand where a natural diamond truly comes from and how openly that origin can be shown, building deeper knowledge and firmer trust.

A natural diamond arrives across an immense span of time, and holds a lasting feeling as it passes between generations. From the first appearance of the Desert diamonds idea, to the jewellery that carried it into daily life, to this story told in light and shadow, natural diamonds continue to find new creative forms in which to speak to one generation after another. The truth, the preciousness and the singularity that come from nature do not fade with time, and they take on fuller meaning in the life of the present. However the years turn, every true and singular light is worth treasuring, remembering and passing on.

‘You Shine So Bright’ can be watched on Hongguo, Douyin, Weixin Channels, CCTV Video, Weibo, Baijiahao, iQIYI, Tencent Video, YouTube and TikTok, by searching “You Shine So Bright”.

HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 September 2026 – Six months have passed since the Hainan Free Trade Port officially launched island-wide special customs operations on December 18, 2025. On June 18, Malaysia’s Nanyang Siang Pau, in collaboration with Hainan Daily Press Group, launched the financial video series Nanyang Interview: Exploring Opportunities in China’s Largest Free Trade Port, examining the development potential of the Hainan Free Trade Port and investment opportunities for ASEAN businesses.

Economists interviewed for the series said that, as a key gateway to the world’s second-largest single market, ASEAN businesses cannot afford to overlook the historic opportunity to enter the Chinese market through Hainan. Chen Bo, Senior Research Fellow at the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore, said that with multiple policy incentives taking effect, the next decade represents a golden opportunity for Hainan. Xiao Saizi, a professor at the University of Nottingham Malaysia, noted that in the six months since the launch of special customs operations, the number of foreign trade companies registered in Hainan has grown rapidly. High-end manufacturing and processing industries—including chip packaging and testing, premium food processing, aviation maintenance, green energy, medical devices, and biopharmaceuticals—are among the sectors most likely to benefit.

Located at the southernmost tip of China, Hainan is within a four-hour flight of 21 Asia-Pacific countries. This natural geographic advantage makes it an important springboard for ASEAN businesses seeking to enter the Chinese market. Xiao said that Hainan received 106 million domestic and international tourist visits in 2025, making it an ideal testing ground where foreign investors can test the market at relatively low cost.

Previous surveys have shown that foreign exchange settlement is one of the key concerns for foreign investors. By the end of 2025, 11 banks in Hainan had launched EF accounts, enabling cross-border fund flows with 91 countries and regions, with total transaction volume equivalent to CNY 350.9 billion.

Several economists advised ASEAN businesses to conduct thorough internal assessments before making investment decisions. If they determine that the Chinese market will form part of their future growth strategy, they should consider entering Hainan early while the benefits of the Free Trade Port’s policies continue to unfold.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 September 2026 – Malaysia’s leading digital asset exchange, Luno Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (“Luno”) today announced a strategic collaboration with Halogen Capital Sdn. Bhd. (“Halogen Capital”) and Kenanga Investors Berhad (“Kenanga Investors”) at LIDAC 2026 in Kuala Lumpur, to explore the use of a fully reserved, Ringgit-pegged stablecoin (UMYR) as an on-chain settlement instrument for tokenised money market funds.

The collaboration brings together three entities licensed by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC): Luno, a registered Recognised Market Operator (Digital Asset Exchange), as well as Halogen Capital and Kenanga Investors, both Capital Markets Services Licence (CMSL) holders operating tokenised funds and mandates.

The initiative aims to demonstrate real-time Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP) settlement for fund subscriptions and redemptions, reducing the settlement windows that currently apply on conventional rails.

About the Initiative

UMYR is proposed to be issued by a dedicated, ring-fenced issuance entity within the Luno group, and backed one-for-one by Ringgit held onshore in a segregated account with a regulated banking partner.

Under the proposed initiative:

• Luno (Issuer) will mint and burn UMYR on a strict 1:1 basis against Ringgit received or disbursed, manage institutional onboarding and wallet whitelisting, and provide daily reserve reconciliations supported by independent third-party reserve attestations.
• Halogen Capital and Kenanga Investors (Fund Partners) will participate as use-case fund managers, accepting UMYR for subscription and redemption settlements into their tokenised money market funds, while retaining sole responsibility for fund management, unit registry and investor obligations under their CMSL licences.

The initiative is designed as a closed-loop, business-to-business arrangement among whitelisted institutional participants. No retail clients will be onboarded, involved or served during the stablecoin initiative.

Scarlett Chai, Country Manager (Malaysia), Luno said, “With Malaysia’s digital asset ecosystem moving from foundational setup to institutional capability, infrastructure like UMYR is essential. By providing a 1:1 Ringgit-backed, fully segregated settlement instrument, we are showing how on-chain liquidity and real-time DvP settlement can operate seamlessly and responsibly within Malaysia’s existing regulatory framework alongside licensed industry leaders.”

Hann Liew, Founder and CEO, Halogen Capital, said, “As an early adopter of tokenised funds in Malaysia, testing UMYR as a dedicated settlement instrument aligns perfectly with our vision for modern asset management. Working within a regulated framework alongside SC-licensed partners ensures we can deliver faster, safer fund operations for institutional participants.”

Datuk Wira Ismitz Matthew De Alwis, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Kenanga Investors, said, “This will further complement our asset tokenisation efforts. Paired with next-generation settlement infrastructure, we believe that the initiative will bring the industry much closer to unlocking the full benefits of tokenisation, building on the foundations we established with the launch of Myrra and Malaysia’s first tokenised funds. As we explore this opportunity, our fiduciary obligations remain unchanged, and we will continue to engage closely with regulators.”

What this means for Malaysia’s Capital Markets

The collaboration marks a step towards testing regulated digital asset infrastructure alongside Malaysia’s existing fund management ecosystem. Key features of the proposed initiative include:

• Faster settlement: Real-time DvP settlement for fund subscriptions and redemptions, compared with conventional settlement windows.
• Full reserve backing: UMYR is designed to be backed 1:1 by Ringgit held onshore in segregated accounts, with daily reconciliation and independent attestation.
• Responsible innovation: By testing UMYR with regulated Parties, it ensures future development of on-chain settlement in Malaysia rests on tested controls rather than untested assumptions.

Building Regulated Digital Asset Infrastructure for Malaysia

The initiative builds on Luno’s track record as the first digital asset exchange regulated by the SC, trusted by over 1 million Malaysians and offering the country’s largest SC-approved list of digital assets. By bringing a fully reserved, Ringgit-backed settlement instrument together with tokenised funds managed by licensed capital market institutions, the Parties aim to show how blockchain settlement can operate within, rather than around, Malaysia’s regulatory framework.

It records the Parties’ commercial intent to collaborate and does not itself constitute a commitment to launch UMYR or the initiative. Participation remains subject to regulatory engagement and the execution of definitive agreements.

The partnership was announced at the Luno Institutional Digital Asset Conference (LIDAC), Malaysia’s flagship digital asset conference for institutions. Held at M Resort & Hotel, Kuala Lumpur, the conference examined the next phase of Malaysia’s digital asset industry, spanning stablecoins, tokenisation, real-world assets, custody and compliance.

Over 500 institutional fund managers, financial advisors, regulators, compliance leaders and Web3 pioneers from across the region gathered to discuss best practices in custody, compliance and risk management. Building on the inaugural edition in 2025, this year’s programme reflected a market moving from establishing foundations to building the infrastructure, governance and institutional capabilities needed for responsible adoption at scale.

A New Benchmark for Renewable Energy in China’s Commercial Real Estate

HONG KONG SAR / SHANGHAI, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 September 2026 – Hang Lung Properties Limited (SEHK stock code: 00101) (the “Company” or “Hang Lung”) today announced that it will achieve 100% renewable electricity coverage across all 11 of its operating properties in nine cities in the Chinese Mainland, with Riverside 66 in Tianjin the last property to complete this milestone on October 1, 2026.

The portfolio spans 2.65 million sqm of gross floor area. Under China’s green power policy framework and electricity market, Hang Lung procures renewable electricity from wind and solar generation sources, obtaining both the power and their green attributes. Hang Lung’s whole-building procurement approach covers electricity used by both landlord operations and tenants. This approach supports China’s dual carbon goals and helps tenants, including luxury brands, banks and multinational companies, advance their own sustainability commitments. Hang Lung expects to procure approximately 440,655 MWh of renewable electricity across its Mainland portfolio by year-end 2026, avoiding an estimated 227,513 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.

The five-year journey to full renewable electricity coverage began at Spring City 66 in Kunming in 2021, with Riverside 66 in Tianjin the latest to make the transition. Along the way, Hang Lung’s properties were the first commercial developments to be 100% powered by renewable electricity in Yunnan, Shandong, Liaoning, and Hubei, setting a market-leading example and helping advance renewable electricity adoption across multiple markets in the Chinese Mainland. Achieving this outcome required navigating a complex and rapidly evolving renewable electricity market under tight timeframes. The milestone marks significant progress toward Hang Lung’s net zero commitment and its goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity across all operations by 2050.

Mr. Adriel Chan, Chair of Hang Lung Properties and Chair of the Sustainability Steering Committee, commented: “Leadership is defined by delivery, not just ambition. By achieving full renewable electricity coverage across our entire Chinese Mainland portfolio, we’re creating value for our business and our tenants, strengthening energy resilience, and doing our part to support China’s dual carbon goals.”

Ms. Hélène Valade, LVMH Group Environment Development Director, said: “Renewable electricity is a priority for our Group and our Maisons, notably through our LIFE 360 environmental program. Thanks to Hang Lung’s commitment, our boutiques and offices now run on 100% green electricity. This milestone highlights the strength of our partnership: when a landlord and a tenant share the same climate ambition, real progress becomes possible. We are very pleased to celebrate this major achievement with Hang Lung.”

Mr. Ma Jun, Director of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE), said: “China’s electricity markets and policies are evolving quickly. To achieve full renewable electricity coverage for 11 properties in nine cities, Hang Lung has had to overcome a steep learning curve, and its example can now serve as an inspiration to others. We hope more property developers and operators will expand their procurement of renewable energy—an essential step for sector-wide decarbonization—creating sustained market demand and enabling a cleaner and more secure future.”

Appendix:

• December 2021: Spring City 66 in Kunming became Hang Lung’s first property – and the first commercial complex in Yunnan Province – to be powered by renewable electricity.
