MUMBAI, INDIA, June 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - PT Wibmo Services Indonesia, the Indonesian entity of Wibmo, a leading provider of payment security solutions today shared details of Wibmo Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant (ARIA), an AI-powered platform unveiled by Wibmo at its flagship industry event, 'Securing Digital Payments: Innovation, Intelligence & Trust,' held in Mumbai, India.Unveiling ARIA in Mumbai: Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant brings the power of AI to fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operationsUnveiling ARIA in Mumbai: Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant brings the power of AI to fraud, AML, KYC, and dispute operationsARIA is designed to support risk teams at banks and PSPs, combining AI-driven analysis with human decision-making and accountability. This is highly relevant now, as digital payment fraud challenges becoming increasingly complex. With the sustained growth in the payments ecosystem, financial institutions are focused on improving operational risk efficiency while maintaining strong governance and oversight.Early modelling shows ARIA achieving over 70% reduction in investigation time through agents acting in real-time, enabling teams to process significantly more cases per FTE per day. ARIA targets delivering recommendation accuracy close to 90%, designed to improve quality metrics across risk operations teams.ARIA represents a fundamental shift in how financial institutions approach risk operations by introducing specialized AI agents that support data aggregation, analysis, and draft recommendations, while preserving human decision-making authority and governance controls at every critical juncture.ARIA combines capabilities across investigation, decision support, and operational actioning. The platform gathers signals from transactions, risk models, customer and merchant history, linked transactions, and historical fraud patterns to automate data aggregation that typically consumes significant analyst bandwidth. Using frontier AI models, ARIA generates evidence-referenced verdicts, identifies emerging patterns through multi-signal reasoning, and provides transparent, auditable recommendations. The platform also enables SOP-driven resolutions, customer and merchant communications, reduction of false alerts, and proactive defence mechanisms against emerging anomalies.Shailesh Paul, CEO, Wibmo, said, “As fraud becomes more sophisticated and regulatory expectations continue to evolve, risk operations teams must manage growing complexity with limited resources. ARIA is designed to help institutions scale intelligently by combining the speed and analytical capabilities of AI with the judgment, oversight, and accountability of human expertise. While AI agents assist with data analysis and recommendations, every critical decision continues to remain firmly under human control."Unlike fully autonomous AI systems, Wibmo's Agentic Risk Intelligence Assistant is built with a governance-first architecture designed for enterprise financial institutions. Every recommendation continues to flow through existing approval mechanisms without autonomous production actions, while all analyses are supported by transparent reasoning chains and comprehensive audit trails. The platform brings together specialized agents across fraud, AML, KYC, and disputes within a unified framework, alongside replayable audits and complete operational provenance for every agent action.The launch event brought together more than 50 senior leaders from banks, fintechs, payment networks, and technology organizations to discuss evolving challenges in digital payment security and the future of AI-led fraud prevention. Speakers from PayU, NPCI Bharat Billpay, Visa, Mastercard, Flipkart, CSB Bank, Jio Payment Solutions, and Network International participated in discussions around acquiring fraud risk management, authentication technologies, and risk-based decisioning.About WibmoWibmo, a fully owned subsidiary of PayU, headquartered in Cupertino, USA, is a global full-stack PayTech leader with over two decades of expertise in Payment Security and Digital Payments. Operating across India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East & Africa, Wibmo powers critical payment infrastructure for 200+ banks, financial institutions, merchants, and fintechs worldwide.Reinforcing its commitment to Indonesia, Wibmo has established a local entity - PT Wibmo Services Indonesia - along with a local AWS cloud instance to meet the nation’s data sovereignty and on-soil requirements.Wibmo’s comprehensive suite of solutions spans Fraud and Risk Management, Tokenization, Payment Security, Multi-factor Authentication, Merchant Processing, Card Issuance, and Digital Banking Front-End solutions.

GA-ASI designed, developed and flight-tested FQ-42A on an accelerated schedule unlike any fighter in recent history."This is an exciting day for our company and the nation," said company President David R. Alexander. "Moving to production on FQ-42A is the result of an extraordinary partnership and many years of investments between General Atomics and the U.S. Air Force. We've been preparing for this order, and manufacturing is already well underway."The FQ-42A is a purpose-built, uncrewed fighter developed as part of ongoing investment in next-generation semi-autonomous combat aircraft. The aircraft's modular design enables rapid integration of mission systems and mission autonomy software. GA-ASI's software architecture, demonstrated through live flight tests on multiple airframes, provides the foundation for human-machine teaming in complex combat scenarios.The development effort by GA-ASI fast-tracked, with the aircraft moving from contract award to first flight in just 15 months, one of the fastest rollouts of a new fighter in history.GA-ASI was selected by the U.S. Air Force in 2024 to build production-representative flight test articles for the CCA program. The YFQ-42A successfully conducted its maiden flight in August 2025, validating a "genus/species" concept for rapid, modular, and low-cost uncrewed fighter aircraft development previously demonstrated in partnership with U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).GA-ASI's approach enables a common core aircraft design that can be rapidly adapted for different mission sets and service requirements. GA-ASI's Gambit Series concept for CCA envisions multiple variants that serve specific needs, including long-endurance surveillance; air-to-air superiority; air-to-ground strike and more.GA-ASI has been building and flying uncrewed jets for nearly two decades, beginning with the company-funded, weaponized MQ-20 Avenger® in 2008. The company's XQ-67A Off-Board Sensing Station jet, developed in collaboration with AFRL, is a cutting-edge model for autonomous collaborative platforms with advanced airborne sensing and served as a flying prototype for the FQ-42A concept.Pre-production versions of the new fighter were designated "YFQ-42;" with "Y" designating a prototype phase. The award of an Air Force production contract means the forthcoming aircraft will be among the first in history to carry the novel FQ designation: "F" for fighter and "Q" designating the platform is uncrewed.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 9 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle®, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

SINGAPORE, June 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Accrelist Ltd. (“Accrelist” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, collectively the “Group”), listed on the Catalist Board of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”), today announced the appointment of Mr Derek Cheong Sheng Ze (“Mr Cheong”) as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, with effect from 16 June 2026.The announcement pursuant to Rule 704(6) of the Catalist Rules, in relation to the appointment of Mr Cheong has been separately announced on the SGXNET.About Mr CheongMr Cheong joins Accrelist after a career spent building consumer-facing businesses in Malaysia. Most recently, in his role as Chief Strategy Officer of Thong World Sdn. Bhd, he is advising the organization on growth and expansion plans.Before that, he served as Managing Director of Collab Working Lifestyle Sdn. Bhd., the master franchisee of Xing Fu Tang in Malaysia, where he managed business strategy and financial operations, and oversaw the build-out of the franchise network. He previously sat on the board of Supreme Falcon Sdn. Bhd., which operates in the healthcare sector, and held the role of Project Director at My Vacation Travel Sdn. Bhd., an event management business, giving him exposure to healthcare-adjacent services and experiential consumer brands.Mr Cheong holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and Finance from Lancaster University in the United Kingdom.First Initiative: Entry into the Xiamen Aesthetic Clinic MarketThe Company has entered into a strategic collaboration through a non-binding term sheet with Mr Zhou, Zan (the “Vendor”) under which Accrelist proposes to acquire a 51% interest in a target company (“Target Company”) to be incorporated by the Vendor in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), and the Target Company shall be establishing and/or acquiring aesthetic business in the PRC (including aesthetics businesses in which the Vendor currently has a controlling interest). The Group will license its A.M Aesthetics brand to the Target Company on a royalty-free basis, allowing the Xiamen clinics to operate under the Group’s flagship aesthetics brand.As his first initiative, Mr Cheong will be driving this collaboration further, giving the Group a stronger positioning in the Greater China aesthetics market.The rationale is twofold. First, the proposed acquisition enhances Accrelist’s foothold in the PRC, one of the largest aesthetics markets in the world, at a valuation anchored to performance, with multi-year visibility on the underlying business before the Group is committed to completion. Second, the licensing arrangement allows the A.M Aesthetics brand to be built in the PRC market in advance of completion, at no cost to the Group.A separate announcement on the entry into a non-binding term sheet in relation to the proposed acquisition has been released on SGXNet and shareholders are advised to refer to that announcement for further details.Sharpening Focus on Aesthetics RetailUnder Mr Cheong's leadership, the Group will continue growing its A.M Aesthetics business, deepening its presence in existing markets and expanding into new ones. The aesthetics sector continues to be one of the fastest-growing consumer segments in the region, and the Group sees significant headroom to scale a differentiated, premium brand across Southeast Asia and Greater China.Consistent with this direction, the Group will keep its broader portfolio under review to ensure that capital and management resources are channelled where they generate most value for shareholders. This includes its 52.5% controlling stake in Catalist-listed Jubilee Industries Holdings Ltd. (SGX: NHD) and its 27.34% strategic stake in Bursa Malaysia-listed MClean Technologies Berhad (KL: MCLEAN), each of which the Group will continue to manage and evaluate as part of its overall capital allocation. Any material developments will be communicated through the appropriate market announcements in due course, in accordance with the Catalist Rules and the rules of any other relevant exchange.Mr Cheong, Chief Executive Officer of Accrelist, said: “It is a privilege to take on this role at a moment when Accrelist is strengthening its position in aesthetics retail. The opportunity in this sector across the region is enormous, and our A.M Aesthetics brand is a competitive platform for scale. The Xiamen collaboration is a deliberate first step: a derisked, strategic venture in a high-growth market, with a clear runway to scale. I look forward to working with Dato’ Terence, the Board and the wider team to deliver value for our shareholders.”About Accrelist Ltd.Accrelist Ltd. (SGX: QZG) is a Singapore-based investment holding company listed on the Catalist Board of the SGX-ST.The Group’s wholly-owned aesthetics business operates under two brands. A.M Aesthetics runs a chain of registered medical aesthetics clinics in Singapore and Malaysia, offering a full range of facial treatments and aesthetic medicine. A.M Skincare Pte. Ltd. (“A.M Skincare”), a complementary subsidiary, develops and distributes its own original design manufacturer (“ODM”) clinical skincare products in collaboration with South Korean dermatologists. Beyond aesthetics, the Group holds a 52.5% controlling stake in Catalist-listed Jubilee Industries Holdings Ltd. (SGX: NHD), a one-stop solutions provider in precision plastic injection moulding and mould design and fabrication services. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Accrelist Crowdfunding Pte.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, June 17, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Air T, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRT) today announced that its majority owned business Crestone Air Partners, a global aviation asset management platform, has completed its acquisition of Arena Aviation Capital - a well-established aviation asset manager with a diversified portfolio and deep airline relationships. The transaction, first disclosed on March 8, 2026, has now closed following the satisfaction of all customary closing conditions and required approvals.The acquisition materially expands Crestone. Assets under management (AUM) as of December 31, 2025, were $800 million; as of March 31, 2026, AUM had grown to $1.2 billion; and post-transaction, the combined platform now comprises $3.6 billion of AUM. Crestone receives standard aviation industry management fees, including origination fees, administrative fees, disposition fees, and an incentive fee above a certain hurdle rate (which varies by investment transaction). Our aviation asset management platforms seek to generate 10%+ returns after fees.Immediately prior to the closing, Air T owned 90% of the common interests in Crestone Asset Management, LLC ("CAM"). At this same time, entities controlled by the Mill Road Investors collectively owned the remaining 10% of the common interests in CAM. In connection with the transactions, Air T and Aviation Growth Initiatives, LLC ("AGI"), a management-affiliated entity formed by executives of Crestone Air Partners, Inc., acquired the MRC Parties' 10% common interest position in CAM at a pre-money valuation of $62 million for aggregate cash consideration of $6.2 million. In connection with the reorganization, the parties also amended CAM's limited liability company agreement to reflect the exit of the MRC parties from the common interest holder group.On the closing date, Blue Owl Capital bought in to Crestone Air Partners at an $80 million valuation post-merger for up to 12.5% of Crestone Air Partners, dependent upon Crestone performance. Air T now owns approximately 83.9% of the equity of this business.This transaction is a clear expression of how Air T invests. We are a permanent capital vehicle - buying to build, not to trade - and we give the leaders of our businesses the runway and resources to grow on their own terms."We buy to build and empower dynamos and dynamic teams. Our investments don't come with expiration dates," said Nick Swenson, Chief Executive Officer of Air T, Inc. "Crestone has grown from zero to over $3.5 billion dollars in assets under management in five years. Our job was to provide permanent capital and the runway, then let Crestone build. Crestone's leasing capabilities are supported by the AirT network: airframe and engine material sales, landing gear leasing, disassembly, storage, and MRO facilities all sit inside the Air T family. Crestone can draw on every one of them across an aircraft's life. Aviation has a lot of niche, high-value businesses within it, and we seek to know them well. That's the momentum a networked portfolio creates - and we intend to keep at it."For additional information on the transaction, please refer to the Crestone Air Partners Press Release.NOTE REGARDING STAKEHOLDER QUESTIONSIf you have questions related to this release or other Air T matters, please use our interactive Q&A capability, through Slido.com, accessible from our website, to submit your questions.

HONG KONG, Jun 16, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK)announced that it has entered into an exclusive licensing agreement with Australia Dimerix Limited (“Dimerix”), for the development and commercialization of DMX-200 in Greater China (Chinese mainland, Hong Kong SAR, Macao SAR and Taiwan region), South Korea and certain Southeast Asian countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Philippines). This collaboration will further strengthen Everest’s nephrology product portfolio and pipeline synergy, reinforce the company’s strategic position in kidney and autoimmune diseases.Under the terms of the agreement, Everest will pay Dimerix a US$ 10 million upfront payment, and up to US$30 million potential success-based development and regulatory milestone payments, as well as up to US$300 million in commercial milestone payments. In addition, Everest will pay tiered royalties between 10-15% of DMX-200 net sales in Greater China, South Korea, and certain Southeast Asian countries.DMX-200 is a small molecule inhibitor of the chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) under development in a pivotal, Phase 3 study, ACTION3, for the treatment of Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). Public disclosures show that DMX-200 has received Orphan Drug Designations from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).“This collaboration with Dimerix marks an important step in advancing our strategic focus in kidney disease and further strengthening our innovative renal portfolio,” said Yifang Wu, Chairman of the Board of Everest Medicines. “Patients with FSGS in China have long faced significant unmet medical needs due to the lack of targeted treatment options. The positive interim results from the global pivotal Phase 3 study of DMX-200 underscore its potential to offer a meaningful new therapy for these patients. Leveraging our proven expertise in clinical development and commercialization, we are committed to accelerating access to DMX-200 in China and beyond and exploring other glomerulopathies. We look forward to working closely with Dimerix to bring this innovative therapy to more patients in need.”Dr Nina Webster, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Dimerix, said: “We are delighted to establish this partnership with Everest Medicines, a company with strong rare renal disease expertise and a proven track record in commercializing in Greater China, South Korea and certain Southeast Asian countries. Importantly, this collaboration significantly expands the potential reach of DMX-200 into a large and underserved patient population. Everest is well positioned to maximize the opportunity in the licensed regions, while allowing Dimerix to retain focus on progressing our global registrational program, delivering value for shareholders and providing real hope for patients with FSGS across the globe in need of treatment options.”FSGS is a rare, serious kidney disorder characterized by progressive scarring (sclerosis) in parts of the glomeruli—the kidney’s filtering units. This scarring leads to proteinuria, progressive loss of kidney function, and often end-stage renal disease. In China, 500,000 to 1 million people are estimated to be living with FSGS, including both adults and children1,2.The ACTION3 study, which is titled “Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor (AT1R) & Chemokine Receptor 2 (CCR2) Targets for Inflammatory Nephrosis”, is a pivotal (Phase 3), multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of DMX-200 in patients with FSGS who are receiving a stable dose of an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). Once the ARB dose is stable, patients will be randomized to receive either DMX-200 (120 mg capsule twice daily) or placebo. The single Phase 3 trial in FSGS patients has two interim analysis points built in that are designed to capture evidence of proteinuria and kidney function (eGFR slope) during the trial, aimed at generating sufficient evidence to support marketing approval.The ACTION3 study has completed enrollment of 333 patients. In early 2024, Dimerix reported positive interim results from the ACTION3 trial in FSGS, showing DMX-200 was performing better than placebo in reducing proteinuria at that time. There have been no safety concerns to date following 8 reviews by the independent data monitoring committee, the most recent in June 2026. In April 2026, an external statistical blinded review of ACTION3 data achieved its objective by confirming that the study remains appropriately statistically powered (>90%) to demonstrate a treatment effect for the primary study endpoint of proteinuria; meaning that if DMX-200 continues to reduce proteinuria in trial patients as anticipated, then there is a >90% chance that the study will successfully show a statistically significant proteinuria treatment effect at the trial’s conclusion.Rather than a single product licensing deal, this collaboration is viewed by the industry as a significant step forward for Everest Medicines in deepening its layout in the nephrology field. In recent years, the company has continuously built a nephrology product matrix including Nefecon®, civorebrutinib (EVER001), MT1013, and Bejescin® (MIL62), focusing on areas such as IgA nephropathy and chronic kidney disease (CKD). The introduction of DMX-200 is not only expected to fill the gap in innovative treatments for FSGS in China, but will also further enrich Everest Medicines’ nephrology pipeline, creating synergies with existing products and R&D projects to extend its footprint into the broader CKD sector.Meanwhile, this partnership covers multiple core markets, including Greater China, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, further reflecting Everest Medicines’ strategic direction to continuously refine its commercialization network across the Asia-Pacific region. With a massive population base in the Asia-Pacific region, the burden of chronic conditions like CKD continues to rise, driving significant unmet medical needs for patients. Everest Medicines is gradually expanding its accumulated commercialization experience into the broader Asia-Pacific market. Driven by its dual-engine strategy of business development partnerships and in-house R&D, the company is poised to further unlock the value of its innovative assets, opening up new horizons for its long-term growth.Reference:1.Du X, Xiao D, Ao C, Zhang Y, Xuan J.

Participants reviewed Hong Kong's economic transformation from a manufacturing base into an international financial and trading hub, and explored how Hong Kong can continue to play its role as a superconnector and super value-adder in an evolving global landscape.The 60th Anniversary Cocktail Reception held in the evening of the same day was attended by Secretary for Justice of the HKSAR Paul Lam, Deputy Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the HKSAR Li Yongsheng, Director-General of the Economic Affairs Department of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR Xu Weigang, President of the Legislative Council Starry Lee, and a number of HKSAR government officials, including Deputy Financial Secretary Michael Wong, Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism Rosanna Law, and Acting Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Joseph Chan. Also in attendance were former HKTDC Chairmen Victor Fung, Peter Woo, Jack So and Vincent Lo, former Executive Directors Fred Lam and Margaret Fong, current Executive Director Sophia Chong, as well as current and former Council Members.Prof Ma said: "Right before this reception, I had a lively dialogue with the HKTDC’s former Chairmen who shared their vision for the Council and Hong Kong in the coming decades. Let me tell you: the future looks bright. In spite of global challenges, I firmly believe that Hong Kong remains a beacon of hope. The HKTDC has always evolved alongside Hong Kong, our growth mirroring our city’s progress. And just like Hong Kong, the HKTDC has remained resilient, which I know will see us through the next 60 years."Secretary for Justice of the HKSAR Paul Lam said in his address at the Reception: "For 60 years, the Government’s policy priorities coupled the steadfast support combined with the TDC’s global network and on-the-ground expertise. Together, we have advanced Hong Kong’s trade and economic development. And together, we are building Hong Kong’s flourishing future. In Chinese culture, 60 years represents the completion of a full cycle – it does not mark an end, but a beginning of new cycle. It reminds us that after six decades of growth, wisdom and achievements, the time has come to welcome a new, and even more successful chapter."Looking ahead, the HKTDC will seize opportunities arising from the country's 15th Five-Year Plan, support the Government's initiatives, and assist mainland enterprises in expanding overseas. It will also provide more comprehensive support tailored to the evolving needs of five major industry clusters, namely: Finance and Professional Services; Global Network and Supply Chain; Technology and Digital Innovation; Wellness and Creative Industries; and Consumer Goods and Lifestyle.Photo download: https://bit.ly/4otc10KHKTDC Chairman Prof Frederick Ma delivers the opening address at the Next 60 Forum, reviewing the development of the HKTDC and Hong Kong over the past 60 years and looking ahead to future opportunitiesHKTDC Chairman Prof Frederick Ma exchanges views with several former Chairmen at the Next 60 Forum, sharing experience and insights, and exploring the outlook for Hong Kong and the HKTDC.
