AGTech Holdings Limited(8279.HK) Proposes Transfer of Listing from GEM to the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 18/06/2026 / 17:14 UTC+8 (Hong Kong, June 18, 2026) – AGTech Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 8279 on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, hereinafter referred to as “AGTech” or the “Company”) announced today that it has formally submitted an application to the Stock Exchange in relation to the proposed transfer of listing of the Company's Shares from GEM to the Main Board pursuant to Chapter 9B of the Main Board Listing Rules[1]. The Board believes that, as the Company continues to expand its business scale and deepen its strategic diversification, the Proposed Transfer of Listing would provide a more appropriate listing platform for the Company’s next phase of growth. In particular, taking into account the Company’s diverse business operations in areas such as digital payments, banking, wealth management, cross-border settlement and regional financial collaboration, the Board believes that a listing on the Main Board would enhance brand recognition of the Company as a comprehensive financial technology group, strengthen its engagement with users, merchants, financial institutions, business partners and investors, and support the Company’s ability to pursue commercial opportunities in its current market positioning. Meanwhile, the Main Board offers a broader investor base and higher market recognition, which will help enhance investor awareness of and confidence in the Company, expand the Company’s coverage among institutional investors and in international capital markets, further optimize its shareholder base and investor structure, improve the liquidity of its shares, and provide greater flexibility for the Company’s long-term development. On the basis of the foregoing, the Proposed Transfer of Listing is beneficial to the future growth and development of the Company and is in the overall interests of the Company and the Shareholders. As a member of Alibaba Group, AGTech Holdings is committed to becoming a leading global comprehensive financial technology group. It focuses on diversified services including full-scale financial services, commerce enablement and local consumer services, while actively expanding into emerging business areas such as innovative technology services for the gold and precious metals trading, thereby developing the capability to provide “end-to-end, all-round financial services” across diverse scenarios. In 2022, the company completed the acquisition of Macau Pass Holding Ltd. and its subsidiaries, significantly expanding its footprint into the payment sector. In 2024, it completed the attainment of the controlling stake in Ant Bank (Macau) Limited, further solidifying its “payment + finance” platform foundation. Currently, AGTech is actively broadening its innovative financial business. In early 2026, the company reached a collaboration with the Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX) to design, develop and maintain a secure and stable electronic trading, clearing, and settlement platform. This initiative aims to support Hong Kong's development as an international gold trading center and drive the digital transformation of the gold and precious metals market. For the year ended March 31, 2026, AGTech recorded a total revenue of approximately HK$760 million, representing a year-on-year growth of about 23.7%, reflecting a continuous expansion in its operational scale. Notably, the full-scale banking services delivered outstanding performance, generating about HK$225 million in revenue during the year, a substantial year-on-year surge of approximately 232.7%. The rising proportion of high-growth businesses and the further optimization of the revenue structure demonstrate that the company's overall strategic transformation over the past few years has begun to materialize. Looking ahead, AGTech will continue to deepen the development of its fintech ecosystem, and capitalize on development opportunities within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and international markets to steadily advance its global business footprint. -End- ABOUT THE GROUP AGTech, as a member of the Alibaba Group, was incorporated in Bermuda and its Shares are listed on GEM (Stock Code: 8279).

From Nagasaki Pachinko to Casino Contender, Okura Holdings Leverages Regulatory Optionality for Valuation Re-rating

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 17/06/2026 / 09:49 UTC+8 In the Hong Kong equity market, micro-cap stocks are routinely sidelined by institutional investors due to liquidity constraints and perceived single-business risks. However, Okura Holdings Limited (1655.HK)—a traditional operator of Japanese pachinko parlors in Nagasaki Prefecture—is quietly positioning itself at the confluence of global regulatory tailwinds. The company is orchestrating a textbook valuation re-rating, driven by the regulatory optionality within Japan's emerging casino sector. From a fundamental perspective, consensus opinion remains tethered to Okura’s mature core pachinko operations. Yet, value investors will recognize that this legacy portfolio anchors the enterprise with a resilient valuation floor. Following extensive consolidation within the Japanese gaming landscape, Okura has preserved a dominant regional footprint and robust cash generation in its home market. The stock currently trades at severely depressed multiples, with a trailing price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio around 2x and a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of approximately 0.3x. Amid macroeconomic volatility, this extreme valuation discount provides a formidable margin of safety, yielding a classic asymmetric risk-reward profile. The true catalyst, however, resides in the embedded option value of Japan’s secondary casino licenses (Integrated Resort, or IR concessions). Following the central government's approval of the MGM Resorts and Orix consortium in Osaka, Japan’s gaming ecosystem has entered a secular expansionary phase. Under current statutory frameworks, two additional casino licenses remain unallocated, and Tokyo is slated to reopen the competitive bidding window in 2027. Given that Nagasaki was a prime contender in the initial licensing tranche, local authorities are widely anticipated to mount a renewed bid. As the premier homegrown entertainment operator in Nagasaki, Okura commands deep-seated political networks and coveted commercial real estate assets, rendering it an indispensable local partner for multinational gaming concessionaires. Should the 2027 licensing momentum accelerate, Okura stands as a pure-play, micro-cap proxy primed for upward multiple expansion. While the upcoming casino bidding represents a compelling medium-term regulatory call option, management’s recent capital allocation strategy has delivered an immediate alpha generator. According to regulatory filings, Okura deployed its idle cash reserves into a pre-IPO vehicle targeting SpaceX(SPCX), securing Class A common stock at $126 per share just ahead of its Nasdaq debut. With SpaceX stock now surging past the $200 mark post-listing, Okura has locked in a staggering gain of over 58% on paper, capturing substantial balance sheet upside in a matter of days. While the absolute dollar amount is nominal relative to SpaceX's market capitalization, it represents a highly accretive asset appreciation for a company of Okura's scale. The transaction successfully breaks the valuation ceiling of a legacy entertainment stock, overlaying a premium global aerospace narrative onto its corporate profile without overshadowing its core gaming catalysts. Viewed holistically, Okura Holdings’ strategic posture reflects a calculated play on structural regulatory inflection points. The deeply discounted core business provides robust downside protection, while the 2027 Japan casino license reopening serves as a powerful catalyst to unlock balance sheet optimization. For sophisticated capital allocators hunting for deep value paired with asymmetric upside, this overlooked gaming play is emerging as a compelling dark horse. 17/06/2026 Dissemination of a Marketing Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

For the year ended March 31, 2026, revenue contributions were mainly derived from the following businesses: Digital payment and related businesses (including commerce enablement and local consumer services and payment-related hardware sales and lease income) There was an overall increase in revenue by approximately HK$16.6 million to approximately HK$323.8 million for the year ended March 31, 2026, mainly due to the increase in transaction payment volume (TPV) driven by the rise in inbound tourists in Macau and increase in local consumption through digital payment benefiting from the consumption promotion campaign such as the “Community Consumption Grand Prize 2025”. Furthermore, the revenue from commerce enablement and local consumer services increased by approximately 85.2% to approximately HK$27.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2026, mainly driven by its continuous strategic initiatives provided to the local consumers and merchants. Full-scale banking business There was an overall increase in revenue by approximately HK$157.7 million to approximately HK$225.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2026, mainly due to (i) the consolidation of financial statements of ABM (Ant Bank (Macao) Limited) into those of the Group for the entire year, compared with only about seven months for the year ended March 31, 2025 following the completion of the Group’s acquisition of a controlling stake in ABM on September 2, 2024; (ii) the Group’s continuous innovations have led to a significant growth in both customer base and customer deposits. Lottery business There was an overall decrease in revenue by approximately HK$28.7 million to approximately HK$211.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2026, mainly due to the decrease in revenue from sales of lottery hardware by approximately HK$35.5 million as a result of the decrease in lottery hardware tenders awards and deliveries and partially offset by the increase in revenue from the provision of lottery offline distribution services by approximately HK$6.8 million. The loss for the year ended March 31, 2026 was approximately HK$54.2 million (for the year ended March 31, 2025: approximately HK$98.6 million). The overall decrease in loss for the year is primarily attributable to: (i) no fair value changes were recognized for the year ended March 31, 2026 on the convertible term loan facilities in the maximum amount of INR1,319.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$137.3 million) previously provided by the Group to, and fully utilized by, its 45%-owned joint venture company in India, First Games Technology Private Limited (“JV”), as compared to a fair value loss of approximately HK$70.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2025. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Group has entered into a mutual agreement with the JV for the termination of the Facilities and a gain on derecognition of approximately HK$3.5 million was recognized by the Group; and (ii) the decrease in finance income by approximately HK$14.0 million to approximately HK$30.3 million (for the year ended March 31, 2025: approximately HK$44.3 million) mainly due to the decrease in market interest rates for the year ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the corresponding period in 2025. BUSINESS REVIEW During the reporting period, the proportion of the Group's high-growth businesses continued to rise, optimizing the revenue structure and driving steady improvement across key operating indicators. These trends signal an accelerated shift from a "lottery + payment" provider to an “integrated fintech platform”.

Overall, the initial results of the strategic transformation are beginning to materialize. The Group’s fintech businesses have evolved into a digital ecosystem (as outlined in the diagram above). Full-scale Financial Services Leveraging the deep synergy between Macau Pass and ABM, the Group is comprehensively building a fintech ecosystem that encompasses both high-frequency payments and full-scale financial services.

Record Results Underscore the Continued Success of Brand Transformation The Group demonstrated strong resilience as revenue grew 5.3% to HK$94,398 million in a year marked by macroeconomic uncertainty and significant gold price volatility. Gross profit margin of 32.3% was up 280bps, driven by the surge in gold price and a higher contribution from the design-led and higher- margin iconic collections, successfully launched since 2024.

The Board has proposed a final dividend of HK$0.45 per share, bringing the dividend per share for the year to HK$0.67, a full-year payout ratio of 73.4%. The strong performance was powered by a customer centric approach driven by three key levers of growth: (1) Redefining Chinese luxury globally, (2) Rejuvenating portfolio and operational efficiency and (3) Reimagining new horizons. Dr. Henry Cheng, Chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, said, “We are committed to investing boldly in our brand – elevating desirability, forging deeper emotional connection with customers, and expanding our global resonance through immersive retail experience, exquisite craftsmanship, compelling storytelling and digital engagement that blends our rich heritage and cultural artistry with contemporary lifestyle.” Commenting on the annual results, Ms. Sonia Cheng, Vice-chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, said, “We are delighted that the Group achieved record high results and high-quality earnings, validating the success of our brand transformation. As a leading global Chinese luxury group, Chow Tai Fook is charting a course to bring Chinese aesthetics, craftsmanship, and heritage storytelling to the world stage while setting a new benchmark for the industry. Redefining Chinese Luxury Globally The global luxury landscape has been dominated by Western culture. Our ambition is to redefine Chinese luxury globally, showcasing the contemporary Chinese culture, innovation and exquisite craftsmanship to the world. The successful launch of our signature collection – DAWN Collection, has clearly demonstrated Chow Tai Fook’s innovation and creativity, being the first jewellery brand to blend Chinese aesthetics with modern craftsmanship. Since its launch in April 2026 till the end of May 2026, DAWN Collection has delivered remarkable initial results, with Retail Sales Value (“RSV”) of over HK$500 million, outperforming the debut of some of the signature collections to date. Furthermore, more than 20% of customers purchasing this Collection were new to us in the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, underscoring the effectiveness of our signature collections in driving new customer acquisition. During the year, we unveiled our first High Jewellery Collection, “Timeless Harmony”, championing Eastern aesthetics through culturally rooted, world‑class craftsmanship and expanding the brand’s presence in the global high jewellery segment. In March 2026, we appointed David Tse as Global Creative Director, bringing deep luxury expertise from his tenure as Creative Director at Hermès in China, to lead our global storytelling and deepen brand desirability. Blending heritage with contemporary designs, our signature collections continue to resonate with the growing base of culturally conscious consumers. The Rouge Collection, Joie Collection and Chow Tai Fook Palace Museum Collection sustained strong sales momentum in FY2026, contributing close to HK$10 billion to our RSV, while the iconic HUÁ Collection contributed HK$43 billion to our RSV. Rejuvenating Portfolio and Operational Efficiency In February 2026, the Group opened its first global flagship store on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, marking a significant milestone in its brand transformation journey. The approximately 10,000-square-foot flagship is the Group’s largest store across Hong Kong and Macao, showcasing the brand’s nearly century-long legacy, craftsmanship and creativity through it’s “Heritage Pavilion” and diverse offerings. The flagship offers consumers an elevated retail experience that reflects our evolving ambition as the leading global Chinese luxury group. As of FY2026, we had a total of 8 newly designed luxury-format stores in prime locations in the Mainland. These stores delivered significantly higher productivity, which was approximately 8 to 10 times the average Same Store Sales (“SSS”). These newly designed stores also had a substantially higher contribution from fixed-price jewellery. We also selectively opened stores in high-footfall locations, backed by enhanced visual merchandising, optimised product mix and elevated retail experience. As a result, the average monthly RSV of new stores aged less than two years reached approximately HK$1.6 million, up 57% YoY. In view of the success of the newly designed luxury-format stores, we plan to expand its network in the Mainland from the current 8 stores to 50 by FY2030. In the Mainland, SSS increased by 6.9% in FY2026, supported by our ongoing brand transformation initiatives and continued store optimisation. In Hong Kong and Macao, consumer demand strengthened notably post Mainland VAT reform on gold trading, with SSS rising 16.8% in FY2026. SSS growth in Hong Kong was 13.3% and Macao was 29.4% for the year. During the year, the Group also advanced digitalisation and launched our in-house AI Agent platform, deploying over 12 agents across functions such as visual merchandising, the GenAI jewellery creative centre, and AI live streaming, to drive operational efficiency and enhance customer engagement. Reimagining New Horizons The Group’s FY2030 ambition is to double the RSV of our international operations compared to FY2026; and to have an international footprint of over 100 stores. In line with our ambition, the Group expanded the Chow Tai Fook universe into new geographies, channels, product categories, and experiences that resonate with the constantly evolving lifestyle and aspirations of customers in FY2026. With the ambition to reshape global luxury and further strengthen our brand influence among global audiences, newly designed luxury-format stores were launched at Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore, Siam Paragon in Bangkok, and Westfield Sydney in Australia – marking our first entry into Oceania. This brings the total number of CHOW TAI FOOK JEWELLERY POS in Other Markets to 63. In FY2027, we will open further newly designed luxury-format stores across Southeast Asia and North America, while exploring opportunities in the Middle East in the next two years. As the first global Chinese jewellery brand to enter the luxury lifestyle arena, the new luxury home-décor line “Chow Tai Fook Home” brings craftsmanship, cultural heritage and attention to detail to refined home décor and functional art, including tableware collections developed in collaboration with renowned French porcelain house Bernardaud, where Western craftsmanship meets Chinese cultural heritage and gold artistry. Together with CTF Accessories which covers hair adornments, gold medallions and watch strap accessories, the new lifestyle offers will capture diverse market segments, broaden our customer base and create synergies with our core jewellery business. In FY2026, we continued to collaborate proactively with renowned IPs to reach new audiences. Our Black Myth Collection received overwhelming market response, with a significantly higher male mix than the Group average. Meanwhile, collaborations with Disney, Chiikawa and the NBA attracted new loyalty members, which accounted for 35%–55% of these IP collaborations’ customers, with a significant percentage of younger generations. HEARTS ON FIRE, a member of the Group, has continued its transformation into a modern global luxury diamond jewellery brand within the Group. During the year, HEARTS ON FIRE delivered resilient performance with its iconic INSIDE/OUT Collection contributing to 13% of the brand’s global revenue. The brand also expanded its retail presence in Asia with five new luxury retail locations, strengthening visibility in key luxury markets. Business Outlook The strong financial and operational performance highlights the success of our brand transformation strategy and paves the way for further growth. We are now entering the definitive phase of our multi-year transformation journey to our centenary in 2029, accelerating the pace and ensuring the precision of our full-scale strategic execution in FY2027 and beyond. Our sharpened focus is on elevating brand desirability, enriching the retail experience, and strengthening product differentiation. Despite continuing external market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty, we remain cautiously optimistic in the markets where we operate. We are firmly committed to our brand transformation journey – redefining Chinese luxury globally, rejuvenating portfolio and operational efficiency and reimagining new horizons. We will continue to rigorously uphold financial discipline in cost and capital management, driving high-quality growth, sustainable earnings and returns for our shareholders. FY2030 Ambitions As we approach our centenary, we envision a Chow Tai Fook universe where jewellery seamlessly intertwines with the lifestyle of our customers – enriching their appreciation of cultural heritage, artistry, and craftsmanship. We see luxury as a universal language that transcends borders and cultures, where jewellery and lifestyle come together to express a shared vision of beauty, elegance, and creativity. Looking ahead to FY2030, we have set out the following ambitious targets: Financial performance: We aim to achieve above-market revenue growth, and sustain a high ROE of above 25% by FY2030; Store network evolution: We target to complete the full renovation and elevation of our POS portfolio by FY2030, delivering a cohesive and distinctive retail experience across all locations. In parallel, we plan to expand our network of newly designed luxury-format stores in the Mainland from the current 8 stores to 50 by FY2030; International expansion: We aim to double the RSV of our international operations compared to FY2026; and to have an international footprint of over 100 stores. Sustainability: We will target a 50% reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions by FY2030, using FY2024, the first year of our brand transformation journey, as the base year.

WHAT WATON’S NEW PLATFORM – MoTA IS DESIGNED TO HELP USERS DO

EQS Newswire / 09/06/2026 / 16:00 UTC+8 (9 June 2026, Hong Kong) Waton Financial Limited Unveils MoTA: An AI-Native Investment Team Operating System and Agent Marketplace That Lets Anyone Build, Manage, and Command Their Own Professional Investment Research Team Waton Financial Limited today unveiled MoTA (Manager of Trading Agents), an AI-native investment team operating system and Agent marketplace that redefines what AI can do for investors. MoTA is not a stock-picking chatbot or a black-box trading bot. It is a platform designed to let users build, manage, and command their own team of specialized AI Agents across the full investment workflow — from portfolio definition to trade execution. The Problem Professional investment research has always required a team: factor researchers, fundamental analysts, technical analysts, risk managers, portfolio constructors, and trade execution officers. Each role demands specialized talent and expensive infrastructure. For individual investors and small teams, assembling such a capability has been cost-prohibitive — until now. The Solution MoTA transforms the user from a passive consumer of AI signals into an active leader of an AI-powered investment team. Its four integrated modules work together to deliver a seamless, end-to-end experience. First, Talents — the Agent Marketplace. Users browse, compare, and hire specialized AI Agents by role. Each Agent is purpose-built for a specific investment function — fundamental analysis, technical analysis, risk management, trade execution, and more. Agents can be swapped and composed as strategies evolve. Second, Team — composing your investment team. Users assemble multiple Agents into a structured team. Analysts feed research inputs, the Portfolio Manager evaluates and writes memos, the Risk Manager reviews exposure, and the Trader validates routing. The human user retains final sign-off authority at every stage. Third, Portfolio — the portfolio cockpit. A real-time overview of holdings, assets, P&L, risk, and exposure. Users see exactly what is moving across positions, where risk sits, and where returns originate — all in one unified view. Fourth, Decision — the Decision Center. Every Agent-generated suggestion surfaces in the Decision Center with full context: source Agent, signal, reasoning, and current status. Users can click into the full workflow or execution path, compare competing analyses, and manage an actionable queue of decisions. Every recommendation is structured, traceable, and auditable. These four modules connect in a continuous workflow: Portfolio to Decision to Team to Trade. Why MoTA Is Different Traditional AI investing tools offer a single AI chat box, scattered research answers, black-box signals, no role separation, and AI value that is hard to measure. Reviews are tied to AI silos. MoTA provides a multi-Agent investment team, a connected Portfolio-to-Trade workflow, an auditable Decision Center, dedicated Analyst and PM and Risk and Trader roles in coordination, unified metrics such as ROI and win rate and cost per run and override rate, and a unified path for portfolio, decisions, Agents, and trades. The Vision Behind MoTA Waton Financial Limited's mission with MoTA is clear: to make professional-grade multi-agent investing tools more accessible, more transparent, and more user-controlled. MoTA does not replace human judgment — it amplifies it. The platform frees users from the burden of being a full-stack investment expert and elevates them to a higher role: the builder, manager, and decision-maker of their own AI investment team. As AI moves from content generation into workflow execution, investing — inherently a multi-role, multi-step, multi-constraint process — is a natural fit for this transformation. MoTA is designed to bridge the gap between what AI can do and what the investment workflow actually needs. About MoTA MoTA (Manager of Trading Agents) is Waton Financial Limited's flagship AI-native investment team operating system and marketplace for specialized investing Agents. It enables users to create fully customizable investment teams, assign specialized AI Agents to each role, and receive structured, traceable, and auditable investment suggestions across the entire Portfolio-to-Trade workflow. About Waton Financial Limited Waton Financial Limited is a publicly listed financial services and technology company that designs, owns, and operates the MoTA platform. Waton is committed to building AI-native infrastructure for investment teams and making professional-grade multi-agent investing tools accessible to a broader audience. Welcome to MoTA.

基石藥業CS2009(PD-1/VEGF/CTLA-4三特異性抗體)ASCO 2026數據溝通要點

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-06-12 / 15:02 UTC+8 ASCO 2026公佈的多項臨床數據進一步驗證了CS2009的三靶點協同機制,並支持其作為新一代腫瘤免疫治療(I/O)骨架藥物的重要開發潛力。 一、三抗設計邏輯與差異化優勢 1、相較VEGF聯合PD-1具有更大的長期生存獲益潛力,同時CTLA-4相關毒性低、耐受性良好 CS2009通過PD-1、VEGF和CTLA-4三靶點協同設計,旨在同時恢復T細胞效應功能、改善腫瘤微環境並增強T細胞初始啟動,從而實現更深、更持久的抗腫瘤免疫應答。 • CTLA-4結構域差異化設計:通過使外周CTLA-4單陽性T細胞免於過度啟動,降低系統性免疫毒性,結合VEGF介導的腫瘤組織富集效應,在保留CTLA-4免疫啟動作用的同時顯著改善耐受性。臨床數據顯示,CS2009的CTLA-4相關毒性明顯低於傳統CTLA-4抗體治療方案,免疫相關不良事件(irAE)發生率降至與PD-1單抗和雙抗接近的水準。 • 持續給藥優勢:傳統CTLA-4抗體通常僅能耐受兩至三次給藥,而CS2009可持續給藥,從而更充分地發揮CTLA-4結構域的作用。該結構域不僅可以啟動與增強對已存在的腫瘤抗原的免疫反應,還能針對後續發生的新腫瘤抗原啟動新的T細胞克隆,持續擴增抗腫瘤T細胞庫。結合CS2009良好的耐受性,這一機制有望帶來更持久的免疫應答,支持長期臨床獲益和延長患者生存。 • 藥效學驗證:觀察到ICOS(T細胞活化標記物)呈劑量依賴性上升,作為CTLA-4通路活化後公認的藥效學標記物,ICOS上調提示CS2009能夠持續促進T細胞初始啟動與克隆擴增,驗證了其CTLA-4結構域的生物學活性,並為長期抗腫瘤免疫應答提供生物學依據。 (行業挑戰: 歷史上多數抗VEGF聯合PD-(L)1方案主要改善PFS,而OS獲益存在較大不確定性。CS2009通過引入CTLA-4機制,力圖突破這一局限。) 2、低VEGF相關毒性,支持更充分的治療暴露和持續獲益 藥效學數據顯示: • 給藥後循環VEGF水準持續下降,經過147天隨訪仍未觀察到明顯反彈趨勢。 這一現象與傳統抗VEGF抗體或PD-1/VEGF雙抗觀察到的結果存在差異,可能與CS2009在腫瘤微環境中富集並通過CTLA-4介導內吞清除VEGF-抗體複合物有關,從而減少VEGF及其抗體結合複合物回流至外周循環,有助於降低高血壓、蛋白尿等VEGF相關系統性毒性。 臨床數據顯示: • VEGF相關≥3級治療相關不良事件(TRAE)發生率僅為5.1%,明顯低於部分已報導的VEGF雙抗方案。 (行業挑戰:VEGF既是重要療效驅動因素,也是聯合治療中主要毒性來源之一;高齡及高危患者毒性風險更高,可能影響生存獲益。如何平衡療效與耐受性,是VEGF賽道長期未解決的問題。) 3、冷腫瘤中持續觀察到積極信號,體現CTLA-4結構域潛在價值、驗證三靶點協同機制 在多個傳統I/O敏感性較低的瘤種中,包括:免疫治療耐藥非小細胞肺癌(NSCLC)、pMMR/MSS轉移性結直腸癌(mCRC)、軟組織肉瘤(STS)、非透明細胞腎癌(nccRCC),均觀察到積極的臨床活性。這一結果提示,CS2009通過同時阻斷PD-1和CTLA-4,並結合VEGF機制,能夠增強T細胞初始啟動、擴展T細胞克隆譜、促進長期免疫記憶和持續抗腫瘤作用,同時改善腫瘤微環境中T細胞浸潤,使免疫應答覆蓋更多原本對I/O治療不敏感的腫瘤。 多個冷腫瘤中的一致性療效信號進一步支持,CS2009通過PD-1、CTLA-4和VEGF三靶點的協同作用,有能力重塑免疫抑制微環境,擴大免疫獲益人群,並顯示出突破傳統PD-1單抗及PD-1/VEGF雙抗療效邊界的潛力。 (行業挑戰: 對於I/O不敏感冷腫瘤,目前仍缺乏真正有效的免疫治療方案,PD-1聯合CTLA-4仍是國際公認的重要突破方向之一。) 4、鱗癌與非鱗癌均觀察到一致獲益,體現廣泛適用性 • 在NSCLC多個治療場景中:鱗癌與非鱗癌患者均觀察到相近緩解率。 CS2009目前顯示出跨組織學亞型的一致獲益趨勢,提示其機制可能不依賴於特定病理類型,有望覆蓋更廣泛的NSCLC患者人群,並提高未來全球註冊試驗成功的確定性。 (行業挑戰:鱗癌與非鱗癌之間往往存在明顯的療效差異,限制了部分產品的適應症拓展和商業化空間。) 二、安全性優勢明確,VEGF毒性顯著低於雙抗 截至目前I期臨床數據顯示,在混合瘤種中(N=118): • ≥3級TRAE發生率:24.6%; • ≥3級irAE發生率:12.7%; • VEGF相關≥3級TRAE發生率:5.1%。 聚焦NSCLC後線隊列(n=57)的安全性: • ≥3級TRAE發生率:19.3%; • ≥3級irAE發生率:12.3%; • VEGF相關≥3級TRAE發生率:5.3%; 與I期多線經治混合瘤種人群整體的安全譜一致。 整體上: • CTLA-4相關毒性得到很有效的控制; • 未觀察到非預期的安全性信號; • 整體安全性特徵接近PD-1/VEGF雙抗水準,VEGF毒性顯著低於雙抗。 這一安全性表現為後續長期給藥和全球註冊開發提供了重要基礎。 三、療效數據:冷腫瘤領域展現差異化價值 CS2009在多種難治性冷腫瘤中顯示出有意義的臨床活性,凸顯其差異化的機制 1、結直腸癌後線單藥(pMMR/MSS mCRC): • 入組患者均為經治的難治性CRC,包括BRAF突變型和右側結直腸癌; • CS2009單藥:ORR 25%,DCR 87.5%。 考慮到傳統後線治療ORR通常僅為個位數水準,該結果已展現出具有臨床意義的抗腫瘤活性。 更重要的是,療效信號出現在典型I/O冷腫瘤人群中,進一步支持CTLA-4結構域帶來的潛在差異化價值。 2、一線聯合XELOX治療(pMMR/MSS mCRC): • 研究未篩選左右半結腸、分子亞型或肝轉移狀態,入組人群更接近真實世界臨床實踐。 • 截至目前:6例患者均出現腫瘤縮小,3例首次療效評估即達到PR • ORR 66.7%,DCR 100%。 雖然目前樣本量仍然較小,但已觀察到高度一致的早期療效信號,為後續全球註冊開發提供了積極支持。 公司計畫繼續擴大樣本量至40例,以形成更完整的概念驗證(POC)數據包,用於後續與包括美國食品藥品監督管理局(FDA)和中國國家藥品監督管理局(NMPA)在內的全球監管溝通III期全球註冊臨床試驗方案。 3、其他冷腫瘤 • 軟組織肉瘤(STS)後線單藥:ORR 33.3%,DCR 66.7%; • 非透明細胞腎細胞癌(nccRCC)後線單藥:ORR 33.3%,DCR 100%; • 患者療效持久:I期首位患者(澳洲女性)12個月腫瘤持續縮小超40%。 四、NSCLC:多維度數據支持全球註冊開發 維度一:後線NSCLC單藥(IO/化療/ADC/雙抗經治) • 30mg/kg劑量組整體ORR 24%(鱗癌25%,非鱗癌23.1%,獲益一致),DCR 60%; • 二線NSCLC(30mg/kg,IO+化療經治)數據進一步提升:ORR 30.8%,DCR 84.6%。 在此類經PD-(L)1治療後患者中,目前標準治療ORR通常較低,因此CS2009已展現出具有競爭力的單藥活性。 同時觀察到: • 6個月緩解持續時間(DOR)率超80%(即超過80%的患者在6個月時仍能維持緩解); • 患者緩解深度隨時間持續增加; • DOR數據仍在持續成熟中。 維度二:後線NSCLC聯合多西他賽 • 6例患者全部腫瘤縮小,ORR 66.7%,DCR 100%。 儘管目前樣本量有限,但這一結果在同類研究中已非常具有競爭力。 公司計畫進一步擴展至20例患者,以支持後續註冊開發決策。 維度三:一線NSCLC單藥(PD-L1 TPS≥50%) • 16例患者,ORR 81.3%,DCR 100%; • 鱗癌ORR 87.5%,非鱗癌ORR 75%,獲益一致; • 較早時(2026年3月)數據顯示10例患者有9例達到 PR,本次新增的6例患者有4例在首次腫評即達到PR,目前總共已觀察到13例PR; • 所有應答患者均未出現快速進展,患者緩解深度隨時間持續增加。 儘管跨研究比較存在局限性,但當前CS2009單藥在一線NSCLC(PD-L1 TPS≥50%)中的ORR已達到國際同類研究中的領先水準(best-in-class range),顯示出極具競爭力的臨床開發潛力。 註:PD-L1 1%-49%人群數據仍在持續成熟中。 維度四:一線NSCLC聯合化療(鱗癌,PD-L1低表達/陰性) • 截至目前8例鱗癌患者中,7例均為PD-L1≤1%低表達/陰性,1例為PD-L1≤5%低表達,中位年齡70歲; • ORR 75%,DCR 100%;PD-L1陰性患者ORR達100%; 特別值得關注的是: • PD-L1陰性患者中觀察到100%緩解率; • 高齡患者群體中同樣觀察到優異療效。 儘管仍需更長時間隨訪驗證,但已顯示出積極且一致的早期療效信號。 註:一線鱗狀NSCLC聯合化療全人群、一線非鱗狀NSCLC聯合化療仍在入組中,數據後續披露。 五、全球註冊開發策略 CS2009正按照全球多中心開發路徑推進。 • 入組速度極快,數據包準備節奏匹配,與監管溝通節點明確; • 不做單一國家註冊研究,做全球多中心註冊研究(MRCT),所有關鍵註冊研究均採用國際標準治療作為對照組(K藥/K藥+化療/貝伐珠單抗+化療),試驗設計和時間窗口不受當前其他雙抗/三抗競品數據讀出的干擾,具備獨立推進的節奏優勢。 - 2026年10月:與FDA溝通一線NSCLC聯合化療(對比K藥+化療)III期全球註冊臨床方案; - 2026年四季度:與FDA溝通一線mCRC聯合化療(對比貝伐珠單抗+化療)III期全球註冊臨床方案; - 2027年初:與FDA溝通二線NSCLC(聯合多西他賽頭對頭多西他賽)及一線NSCLC單藥頭對頭K藥的III期全球註冊臨床方案。 每個適應症需20-60例POC數據,目前公司已建立支持全球開發的臨床、生產/工藝/品質(CMC)體系,為後續全球多中心III期MRCT研究奠定基礎。 六、2026年重要催化劑 • 2026年8月底:中報更新ASCO後更成熟的臨床數據; • 2026年10月左右:與FDA溝通一線NSCLC聯合化療III期臨床試驗方案; • 2026年四季度:與FDA溝通一線CRC聯合化療III期臨床試驗方案; • 2026年四季度:ESMO會議更新CRC、肺癌等適應症臨床數據; • 2026年底:啟動首批全球III期MRCT註冊研究。 所有關鍵註冊研究均採用當前國際標準治療作為對照組,不依賴競爭產品研究進展。 七、BD進展 目前正與多家跨國藥企(MNC)持續開展深入交流。合作方重點關注:三抗設計邏輯、安全性特徵、NSCLC與CRC臨床數據、全球註冊開發路徑。 隨著數據持續成熟及全球開發計畫推進,CS2009的差異化價值正得到越來越廣泛和高度的認可。 八、管理層信心與市值管理 1、管理層及董事會增持: 近期股價波動明顯偏離公司基本面進展。管理層及董事會表示,將通過增持公司股票表達對CS2009長期價值及公司發展前景的信心。 2、港股通納入預期: 管理層表示,對公司於2026年9月調整窗口納入港股通保持積極預期。 九、核心結論: ASCO 2026數據標誌著CS2009已從機制驗證階段進一步邁向臨床概念驗證(POC)階段。其差異化三抗設計不僅展現出優異的安全性特徵,更在多個傳統I/O冷腫瘤及肺癌人群中持續觀察到具有臨床意義的療效信號與持久緩解。隨著CRC和NSCLC關鍵專案推進全球註冊開發,CS2009正逐步展露成為下一代腫瘤免疫治療骨架藥物的巨大潛力。 關於基石藥業 基石藥業(香港聯交所代碼: 2616)成立於2015年底,是一家專注於腫瘤、免疫與炎症等關鍵疾病領域藥物研發的創新驅動型生物醫藥企業,致力於滿足中國和全球患者的殷切醫療需求。截至目前,公司已成功上市4款創新藥、獲批21項新藥上市申請(NDA)以及9項適應症。當前研發管線均衡配置了抗體偶聯藥物(ADC)、多特異性抗體、以及免疫療法和精準治療藥物在內的16款候選藥物。同時,基石藥業擁有一支資深管理團隊,“全鏈條”覆蓋臨床前探索、臨床轉化、臨床開發、藥物生產、商務拓展、商業運營等關鍵環節。如需瞭解有關基石藥業的更多資訊,請訪問:www.cstonepharma.com。 投資者關係: ir@cstonepharma.com 媒體關係:pr@cstonepharma.com 前瞻性聲明 本文所作出的前瞻性陳述僅與本文作出該陳述當日的事件或資料有關。除法律規定外,於作出前瞻性陳述當日之後,無論是否出現新資料、未來事件或其他情況,我們並無責任更新或公開修改任何前瞻性陳述及預料之外的事件。請細閱本文,並理解我們的實際未來業績或表現可能與預期有重大差異。本文內所有陳述乃本文章刊發日期作出,可能因未來發展而出現變動。 聲明:僅供醫療衛生專業人士交流使用。 2026-06-12 此財經新聞稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php

CS2009 (PD-1/VEGF/CTLA-4 Trispecific Antibody) ASCO 2026 Key Highlights

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 12/06/2026 / 15:02 UTC+8 Shanghai - 12 Jun 2026 - The clinical datasets presented at ASCO 2026 further validate the trispecific synergistic mechanism of CS2009 and support its potential to become a next-generation immuno-oncology (I/O) backbone therapy. I. Trispecific Design Rationale and Differentiated Advantages 1. Greater Potential for Long-Term Survival Benefit vs. PD-1+VEGF Combinations, with Low CTLA-4-Related Toxicity and Favorable Tolerability CS2009 was designed to restore T-cell effector function, remodel the tumor microenvironment (TME), and enhance T-cell priming via simultaneous targeting of PD-1, VEGF, and CTLA-4, aiming to generate deeper and more durable anti-tumor immune responses. • Differentiated CTLA-4 Design: The CTLA-4 component is engineered to avoid excessive activation of peripheral CTLA-4 single-positive T cells, thereby reducing systemic immune toxicity. Combined with VEGF-mediated tumor enrichment, this design preserves the immune-stimulatory benefit of CTLA-4 blockade while substantially improving tolerability. Clinical data has demonstrated that CTLA-4-related toxicities with CS2009 are notably lower than that of conventional CTLA-4 antibody regimens, with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) approaching incidence typically seen with PD-1 monotherapy or PD-1-based bispecific antibodies. • Advantage of Continuous Dosing: Unlike conventional CTLA-4 antibodies, which are often limited to two or three doses due to tolerability concerns, CS2009 can be administered continuously, therefore fully leveraging the CTLA-4 mechanism—not only initiating and enhancing existing anti-tumor T-cell responses but also continuously priming new T-cell clones against newly released tumor antigens throughout treatment. This ongoing expansion of the anti-tumor T-cell repertoire, combined with CS2009’s favorable tolerability, is expected to drive more durable immune responses, prolong clinical benefit, and ultimately improve overall survival. • Pharmacodynamic Validation: Dose-dependent upregulation in ICOS, a recognized pharmacodynamic marker of CTLA-4 pathway activation and T-cell activation, were observed. The ICOS elevation suggests that CS2009 continuously promotes T-cell priming and clonal expansion, validating the biological activity of its CTLA-4 module and providing biological basis for long-term anti-tumor activity. Industry challenge: Historically, most anti-VEGF plus PD-(L)1 regimens have primarily improved progression-free survival (PFS), while overall survival (OS) benefits remains highly uncertain. By incorporating a CTLA-4 mechanism, CS2009 aims to break through this limitation. 2. Low VEGF-Related Toxicity Supporting More Adequate Treatment Exposure and Sustained Clinical Benefit Pharmacodynamic data demonstrated: • Circulating VEGF levels have declined continuously following dosing, and no clear rebound has been observed after up to 147 days of follow-up. This pattern differs from results reported with traditional anti-VEGF antibodies or PD-1/VEGF bispecifics, potentially due to CS2009’s enrichment in the tumor microenvironment and CTLA-4-mediated internalization and clearance of VEGF-antibody complexes. This may reduce reflux of VEGF and its antibody-bound complexes into the peripheral circulation, thereby lowering VEGF-related systemic toxicities such as hypertension and proteinuria. Clinical data demonstrated: • The incidence of Grade ≥3 VEGF-related treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) is only 5.1%, notably lower than reported rates for certain VEGF-based bispecifics. Industry challenge: VEGF is both a critical efficacy driver and a major source of toxicity in combination therapies. Achieving an optimal balance between efficacy and tolerability, particularly in elderly and high-risk patients, remains a longstanding, unresolved challenge in the VEGF field. 3. Consistent Activity Observed Across Multiple “Cold” Tumors, Highlighting the Value of the CTLA-4 Module and the Trispecific Mechanism Promising anti-tumor activity has been observed in several traditionally immunotherapy-insensitive tumor types, including: Immunotherapy-resistant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), pMMR/MSS metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), Soft tissue sarcoma (STS), Non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC). These findings suggest that the combined blockade of PD-1 and CTLA-4, together with VEGF modulation, may enhance T-cell priming, broaden T-cell clonal diversity, promote durable immune memory, and improve T-cell infiltration within the TME—extending immune responsiveness to tumors that were previously I/O-insensitive. The consistent efficacy signals across multiple cold tumors support the ability of CS2009’s PD-1, CTLA-4 and VEGF synergism to reshape the immunosuppressive TME, expand the I/O-benefiting population, and demonstrate the potential to transcend the efficacy boundaries of traditional PD-1 inhibitors and PD-1/VEGF bispecifics. Industry challenge: Effective immunotherapy options remain limited for cold tumors. PD-1 plus CTLA-4 blockade is still one of the most widely recognized strategies for enhancing immunotherapy responsiveness. 4. Consistent Benefit Observed Across Squamous and Non-Squamous NSCLC • Across multiple NSCLC treatment settings, comparable response rates were observed in both squamous and non-squamous patients. CS2009 is showing a trend of consistent benefit across histological subtypes, indicating that its mechanism may not depend on a particular pathologic type and may cover a broader population of NSCLC patients, enhancing the probability of success in future global registrational trials. Industry challenge: Notable differences in efficacy between squamous and non-squamous NSCLC often limit the label expansion and commercial potential of certain products. II. Favorable Safety Profile with Notably Lower VEGF-Related Toxicity Compared with Bispecifics Safety data from the ongoing Phase I study in a mixed tumor population (N=118): • Grade ≥3 TRAE incidence: 24.6%; • Grade ≥3 irAE incidence: 12.7%; • Grade ≥3 VEGF-related TRAE incidence: 5.1%. Focusing on the later-line NSCLC cohort (n=57): • Grade ≥3 TRAE rate: 19.3%; • Grade ≥3 irAE rate: 12.3%; • VEGF-related Grade ≥3 TRAE rate: 5.3%; • Consistent with the safety profile of the overall heavily pretreated mixed-tumor population. Overall: • CTLA-4-related toxicity appears very well controlled. • No new or unexpected safety signals have been identified. • The overall safety profile is comparable to that of PD-1/VEGF bispecific antibodies, while VEGF-related toxicity appears substantially lower. This safety profile provides an important foundation for long-term dosing and future global registrational development. III. Efficacy in “Cold” Tumors Demonstrates Differentiated Clinical Value CS2009 has demonstrated meaningful clinical activity across multiple “cold” tumors, highlighting the differentiated mechanism. 1. Monotherapy in Later-Line pMMR/MSS mCRC • All enrolled patients had heavily pretreated, refractory CRC, including cases with BRAF mutations and right-sided tumors. • CS2009 monotherapy achieved an ORR of 25% and a DCR of 87.5%. Given that ORR in later-line colorectal cancer are typically in the single digits, these results demonstrate clinically meaningful anti-tumor activity. More importantly, efficacy signals emerging in a typical cold-tumor population further supports the differentiated value of the CTLA-4 module. 2. Combination with XELOX in First-Line pMMR/MSS mCRC • The study did not select patients by tumor sidedness, molecular subtype, or liver metastasis; the enrolled population better reflects real-world clinical practice. • To date, all six patients have experienced tumor shrinkage, and three patients achieved a partial response (PR) at their first efficacy assessment. • ORR was 66.7%, and DCR was 100%. Although the sample size remains small, highly consistent early efficacy signals have already been observed, providing positive support for subsequent global registrational development. The Company plans to expand the cohort to approximately 40 patients to generate a more comprehensive proof-of-concept (POC) dataset for upcoming discussions with the global regulatory authorities including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on a Phase III global registrational clinical trial. 3. Other “Cold” Tumors • Monotherapy in Later-line Soft Tissue Sarcoma (STS): ORR 33.3%, DCR 66.7%; • Monotherapy in Later-line non-clear cell renal cell carcinoma (nccRCC): ORR 33.3%, DCR 100%;. • Durable responses have also been observed. Notably, the first patient enrolled in Phase I (an Australian female) has experienced sustained tumor shrinkage of more than 40% over 12 months. IV. NSCLC: Multi-Dimensional Data Support Global Registrational Development Dimension 1: Later-Line NSCLC Monotherapy (Pretreated with IO, Chemotherapy, ADCs, or Bispecifics) • Overall ORR in the 30 mg/kg cohort: 24% (squamous 25%, non-squamous 23.1%, consistent benefit); DCR 60%; • In second-line NSCLC (30 mg/kg, post IO + chemotherapy): ORR improved to 30.8%, DCR 84.6%. • In such post-PD-(L)1 patient populations, standard-of-care ORRs are generally low, thus CS2009 has demonstrated competitive single-agent activity. Additional observations include: • 6-month duration-of-response (DOR) rate exceeded 80% (i.e., more than 80% of responders remained in response at 6 months); • Depth of response has continued to deepen over time; • DOR data are still maturing. Dimension 2: Later-Line NSCLC in Combination with Docetaxel • All six evaluable patients experienced tumor shrinkage, resulting in an ORR of 66.7% and a DCR of 100%. Although the sample size is currently small, these results are already very competitive within this class of studies. The company plans to expand the cohort to approximately 20 patients to inform subsequent registrational decisions. Dimension 3: First-Line NSCLC Monotherapy (PD-L1 TPS ≥50%) • Among 16 patients, ORR was 81.3% and DCR was 100%; • Squamous ORR 87.5%, non-squamous ORR 75%, consistent benefit; • Earlier data (March 2026) showed 9 PRs out of 10 patients; among the 6 newly enrolled patients, 4 achieved a PR at their first tumor assessment, bringing the total number of PRs observed to 13; • No responding patients have experienced rapid disease progression, and patients have shown deepening responses over time. While cross-trial comparisons have limitations, CS2009’s single-agent ORR in first-line NSCLC (PD-L1 TPS ≥50%) has reached a best-in-class range among comparable studies globally, demonstrating highly competitive clinical potential. Note: Data in the PD-L1 1%–49% population continue to mature. Dimension 4: First-Line NSCLC in Combination with Chemotherapy (Squamous, PD-L1 Low or Negative) • Among 8 squamous patients enrolled to date, 7 patients have PD-L1 ≤1% (low/negative), and 1 patient has PD-L1 ≤5% (low expression); median age is 70 years; • ORR was 75% and DCR was 100%; among PD-L1-negative patients, ORR reached 100%; Particularly noteworthy: • A 100% response rate was observed among PD-L1-negative patients; • Encouraging efficacy was also observed in elderly patients. Although longer follow-up is required, positive and consistent early efficacy signals are evident. Note: Enrollment is ongoing in the first-line all-comer squamous NSCLC (Chemo Combo) and first-line non-squamous NSCLC (Chemo Combo) cohorts. Data will be disclosed subsequently. V. Global Registration Strategy CS2009 is advancing through a global multi-regional clinical development pathway. • Rapid enrollment supports timely data package generation and regulatory engagement. • Registrational studies will not be conducted in a single country; all key registrational studies will be global multi-regional clinical trials (MRCTs) using current international standard-of-care comparators (pembrolizumab / pembrolizumab + chemotherapy / bevacizumab + chemotherapy). The trial designs and timelines are independent of data readouts from other bispecific/trispecific competitors, giving CS2009 a self-determined development advantage. - October 2026: Discuss the Phase III global registrational clinical trial protocol for first-line NSCLC + chemotherapy (vs. pembrolizumab + chemotherapy) . - Q4 2026: Discuss the Phase III global registrational clinical trial protocol for first-line mCRC + chemotherapy (vs. bevacizumab + chemotherapy) . - Early 2027: Discuss the Phase III global registrational clinical trial protocol for second-line NSCLC (CS2009 + docetaxel vs. docetaxel) and first-line NSCLC monotherapy (head-to-head vs. pembrolizumab) . 20–60 patients of POC data are expected per indication. The company has already established a clinical, CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls) and operational system that supports global development, laying the groundwork for subsequent global multi-center Phase III MRCTs . VI. Key Catalysts in 2026 • Late August 2026: Interim results update featuring more mature post-ASCO clinical data. • Around October 2026: FDA discussion regarding the Phase III global registrational clinical trial protocol for first-line NSCLC + chemotherapy. • Q4 2026: FDA discussion regarding Phase III global registrational clinical trial protocol for first-line CRC + chemotherapy. • Q4 2026: ESMO Congress – clinical data updates for CRC, NSCLC, and other indications. • End of 2026: Initiation of the first-wave global Phase III MRCTs. Importantly, all pivotal studies are benchmarked against current global standard-of-care comparators, without dependency on competitors’ development progress. VII. Business Development Progress In-depth discussions are ongoing with multiple multinational pharmaceutical companies (MNCs). Key areas of partner interest include: trispecific antibody design rationale, safety profile, clinical data in NSCLC and CRC, global registration strategy. As data continue to mature and the global development advances, the differentiated value of CS2009 is gaining increasingly broad and strong recognition. VIII. Management Confidence and Capital Markets Initiatives 1. Share Purchases by Management and the Board: Management and the Board believe that the recent share price volatility has significantly deviated from the Company’s fundamental progress. Management and Board members have expressed their confidence in the long-term value of CS2009 and the Company’s growth prospects by increasing their shareholdings. 2. Anticipated inclusion in the Hong Kong Stock Connect Scheme Management expressed a positive expectation that the Company will be included in the Stock Connect scheme at the September 2026 adjustment window. IX. Key Takeaway The ASCO 2026 data mark CS2009’s transition from mechanism validation to the clinical proof-of-concept (POC) stage. Its differentiated trispecific design not only delivers an excellent safety profile, but also consistently generates clinically meaningful efficacy signals and durable responses across a range of traditional I/O-cold tumors and lung cancer populations. As the key CRC and NSCLC programs move toward global registrational development, CS2009 is steadily emerging as a next-generation I/O backbone agent with significant potential.

The Creators of thinkorswim and tastytrade Debut Lossdog, a New AI-Powered Career Compensation Platform

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 12/06/2026 / 09:50 UTC+8 Chicago, Illinois - June 12, 2026 - (SeaPRwire) - Lossdog, a new financial technology platform co-founded by Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan, has officially launched in the United States with a mission to give working professionals access to the same quality of compensation data that employers have long used in salary negotiations. The platform offers a single, calculated dollar figure representing a user's professional market worth, expressed as annual salary. Sosnoff and Sheridan previously co-founded thinkorswim, an online brokerage specializing in options trading that was acquired by TD Ameritrade in 2009 for approximately $750 million. The two then co-founded tastytrade, a retail brokerage and financial media network acquired by IG Group in 2021 for $1.1 billion. Lossdog marks their third major fintech venture. The platform works by analyzing a user's resume against real labor market records, including government wage data, to produce a precise professional valuation. Lossdog also includes a portfolio optimization tool that evaluates a user's investment holdings and calculates the lifetime dollar value of underperformance relative to an industry baseline. Research published by Lossdog in early 2026 found that a professional starting at $75,000 per year could leave approximately $3.9 million in uncaptured nominal earnings over a 30-year career, a figure the company attributes to structural information asymmetry in wage negotiation. A follow-up report published in March 2026 found the gap to be significantly wider for female professionals. "Most professionals leave seven figures on the table over their careers because they're negotiating blind," said Jeff Joseph, Chief Strategist at Lossdog. "We built the first AI platform that reads your resume, analyzes your skills and experience against real data, and tells you what you're actually worth down to the dollar." To mark the platform's launch, Lossdog is offering free first-year subscriptions, valued at $100 each, to its first 50,000 registered users. Those users will also share in a $1 million cryptocurrency pool, with individual awards ranging from $50 for the earliest registrants to $10 for those in later waitlist positions. The company has reported more than 25,000 waitlist registrations. Lossdog operates in a space adjacent to platforms such as LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Payscale, but distinguishes its product by generating an individual-specific figure rather than aggregated salary ranges. The platform currently serves users in the United States. "After 40-plus years on the trading side of the business world, we are about to take on a bigger challenge," Sheridan wrote publicly ahead of the launch. About Lossdog Lossdog is a Chicago-based financial technology company co-founded by Tom Sosnoff and Scott Sheridan. The company offers a subscription-based platform that uses artificial intelligence and government labor market data to calculate the precise professional market value of individual workers and to evaluate the performance of their investment portfolios. Lossdog is currently available to users in the United States.

Gross profit margin expanded to 32.3%, supported by higher gold prices and increased contribution from the retail business and design-led jewellery.

Record Results Underscore the Continued Success of Brand Transformation The Group demonstrated strong resilience as revenue grew 5.3% to HK$94,398 million in a year marked by macroeconomic uncertainty and significant gold price volatility. Gross profit margin of 32.3% was up 280bps, driven by the surge in gold price and a higher contribution from the design-led and higher- margin iconic collections, successfully launched since 2024. Operating profit grew 27.8% to HK$18,850 million and profit attributable to shareholders grew 52.2% to a record high HK$9,004 million. Operating profit margin of 20.0% was up 360 bps to a five-year high level. The Group’s Return on Equity ("ROE") increased to 28.4%, which represented a sustained improvement against our 5-year historical average of 20.5%. The Board has proposed a final dividend of HK$0.45 per share, bringing the dividend per share for the year to HK$0.67, a full-year payout ratio of 73.4%. The strong performance was powered by a customer centric approach driven by three key levers of growth: (1) Redefining Chinese luxury globally, (2) Rejuvenating portfolio and operational efficiency and (3) Reimagining new horizons. Dr. Henry Cheng, Chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, said, “We are committed to investing boldly in our brand – elevating desirability, forging deeper emotional connection with customers, and expanding our global resonance through immersive retail experience, exquisite craftsmanship, compelling storytelling and digital engagement that blends our rich heritage and cultural artistry with contemporary lifestyle.” Commenting on the annual results, Ms. Sonia Cheng, Vice-chairman of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, said, “We are delighted that the Group achieved record high results and high-quality earnings, validating the success of our brand transformation. As a leading global Chinese luxury group, Chow Tai Fook is charting a course to bring Chinese aesthetics, craftsmanship, and heritage storytelling to the world stage while setting a new benchmark for the industry. Redefining Chinese Luxury Globally The global luxury landscape has been dominated by Western culture. Our ambition is to redefine Chinese luxury globally, showcasing the contemporary Chinese culture, innovation and exquisite craftsmanship to the world. The successful launch of our signature collection – DAWN Collection, has clearly demonstrated Chow Tai Fook’s innovation and creativity, being the first jewellery brand to blend Chinese aesthetics with modern craftsmanship. Since its launch in April 2026 till the end of May 2026, DAWN Collection has delivered remarkable initial results, with Retail Sales Value (“RSV”) of over HK$500 million, outperforming the debut of some of the signature collections to date. Furthermore, more than 20% of customers purchasing this Collection were new to us in the Chinese Mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, underscoring the effectiveness of our signature collections in driving new customer acquisition. During the year, we unveiled our first High Jewellery Collection, “Timeless Harmony”, championing Eastern aesthetics through culturally rooted, world‑class craftsmanship and expanding the brand’s presence in the global high jewellery segment. In March 2026, we appointed David Tse as Global Creative Director, bringing deep luxury expertise from his tenure as Creative Director at Hermès in China, to lead our global storytelling and deepen brand desirability. Blending heritage with contemporary designs, our signature collections continue to resonate with the growing base of culturally conscious consumers. The Rouge Collection, Joie Collection and Chow Tai Fook Palace Museum Collection sustained strong sales momentum in FY2026, contributing close to HK$10 billion to our RSV, while the iconic HUÁ Collection contributed HK$43 billion to our RSV. Rejuvenating Portfolio and Operational Efficiency In February 2026, the Group opened its first global flagship store on Canton Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, marking a significant milestone in its brand transformation journey. The approximately 10,000-square-foot flagship is the Group’s largest store across Hong Kong and Macao, showcasing the brand’s nearly century-long legacy, craftsmanship and creativity through it’s “Heritage Pavilion” and diverse offerings. The flagship offers consumers an elevated retail experience that reflects our evolving ambition as the leading global Chinese luxury group. As of FY2026, we had a total of 8 newly designed luxury-format stores in prime locations in the Mainland. These stores delivered significantly higher productivity, which was approximately 8 to 10 times the average Same Store Sales (“SSS”). These newly designed stores also had a substantially higher contribution from fixed-price jewellery. We also selectively opened stores in high-footfall locations, backed by enhanced visual merchandising, optimised product mix and elevated retail experience. As a result, the average monthly RSV of new stores aged less than two years reached approximately HK$1.6 million, up 57% YoY. In view of the success of the newly designed luxury-format stores, we plan to expand its network in the Mainland from the current 8 stores to 50 by FY2030. In the Mainland, SSS increased by 6.9% in FY2026, supported by our ongoing brand transformation initiatives and continued store optimisation. In Hong Kong and Macao, consumer demand strengthened notably post Mainland VAT reform on gold trading, with SSS rising 16.8% in FY2026. SSS growth in Hong Kong was 13.3% and Macao was 29.4% for the year. During the year, the Group also advanced digitalisation and launched our in-house AI Agent platform, deploying over 12 agents across functions such as visual merchandising, the GenAI jewellery creative centre, and AI live streaming, to drive operational efficiency and enhance customer engagement. Reimagining New Horizons The Group’s FY2030 ambition is to double the RSV of our international operations compared to FY2026; and to have an international footprint of over 100 stores. In line with our ambition, the Group expanded the Chow Tai Fook universe into new geographies, channels, product categories, and experiences that resonate with the constantly evolving lifestyle and aspirations of customers in FY2026. With the ambition to reshape global luxury and further strengthen our brand influence among global audiences, newly designed luxury-format stores were launched at Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore, Siam Paragon in Bangkok, and Westfield Sydney in Australia – marking our first entry into Oceania. This brings the total number of CHOW TAI FOOK JEWELLERY POS in Other Markets to 63. In FY2027, we will open further newly designed luxury-format stores across Southeast Asia and North America, while exploring opportunities in the Middle East in the next two years. As the first global Chinese jewellery brand to enter the luxury lifestyle arena, the new luxury home-décor line “Chow Tai Fook Home” brings craftsmanship, cultural heritage and attention to detail to refined home décor and functional art, including tableware collections developed in collaboration with renowned French porcelain house Bernardaud, where Western craftsmanship meets Chinese cultural heritage and gold artistry. Together with CTF Accessories which covers hair adornments, gold medallions and watch strap accessories, the new lifestyle offers will capture diverse market segments, broaden our customer base and create synergies with our core jewellery business. In FY2026, we continued to collaborate proactively with renowned IPs to reach new audiences. Our Black Myth Collection received overwhelming market response, with a significantly higher male mix than the Group average. Meanwhile, collaborations with Disney, Chiikawa and the NBA attracted new loyalty members, which accounted for 35%–55% of these IP collaborations’ customers, with a significant percentage of younger generations. HEARTS ON FIRE, a member of the Group, has continued its transformation into a modern global luxury diamond jewellery brand within the Group. During the year, HEARTS ON FIRE delivered resilient performance with its iconic INSIDE/OUT Collection contributing to 13% of the brand’s global revenue. The brand also expanded its retail presence in Asia with five new luxury retail locations, strengthening visibility in key luxury markets. Business Outlook The strong financial and operational performance highlights the success of our brand transformation strategy and paves the way for further growth. We are now entering the definitive phase of our multi-year transformation journey to our centenary in 2029, accelerating the pace and ensuring the precision of our full-scale strategic execution in FY2027 and beyond. Our sharpened focus is on elevating brand desirability, enriching the retail experience, and strengthening product differentiation. Despite continuing external market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty, we remain cautiously optimistic in the markets where we operate. We are firmly committed to our brand transformation journey – redefining Chinese luxury globally, rejuvenating portfolio and operational efficiency and reimagining new horizons. We will continue to rigorously uphold financial discipline in cost and capital management, driving high-quality growth, sustainable earnings and returns for our shareholders. FY2030 Ambitions As we approach our centenary, we envision a Chow Tai Fook universe where jewellery seamlessly intertwines with the lifestyle of our customers – enriching their appreciation of cultural heritage, artistry, and craftsmanship. We see luxury as a universal language that transcends borders and cultures, where jewellery and lifestyle come together to express a shared vision of beauty, elegance, and creativity. Looking ahead to FY2030, we have set out the following ambitious targets: Financial performance: We aim to achieve above-market revenue growth, and sustain a high ROE of above 25% by FY2030; Store network evolution: We target to complete the full renovation and elevation of our POS portfolio by FY2030, delivering a cohesive and distinctive retail experience across all locations. In parallel, we plan to expand our network of newly designed luxury-format stores in the Mainland from the current 8 stores to 50 by FY2030; International expansion: We aim to double the RSV of our international operations compared to FY2026; and to have an international footprint of over 100 stores. Sustainability: We will target a 50% reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions by FY2030, using FY2024, the first year of our brand transformation journey, as the base year. ### Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Limited Since its founding in 1929, CHOW TAI FOOK, the flagship brand of Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group, has been celebrated for its bold designs and meticulous attention to detail.

It is a platform designed to let users build, manage, and command their own team of specialized AI Agents across the full investment workflow — from portfolio definition to trade execution. The Problem Professional investment research has always required a team: factor researchers, fundamental analysts, technical analysts, risk managers, portfolio constructors, and trade execution officers. Each role demands specialized talent and expensive infrastructure. For individual investors and small teams, assembling such a capability has been cost-prohibitive — until now. The Solution MoTA transforms the user from a passive consumer of AI signals into an active leader of an AI-powered investment team. Its four integrated modules work together to deliver a seamless, end-to-end experience. First, Talents — the Agent Marketplace. Users browse, compare, and hire specialized AI Agents by role. Each Agent is purpose-built for a specific investment function — fundamental analysis, technical analysis, risk management, trade execution, and more. Agents can be swapped and composed as strategies evolve. Second, Team — composing your investment team. Users assemble multiple Agents into a structured team. Analysts feed research inputs, the Portfolio Manager evaluates and writes memos, the Risk Manager reviews exposure, and the Trader validates routing. The human user retains final sign-off authority at every stage. Third, Portfolio — the portfolio cockpit. A real-time overview of holdings, assets, P&L, risk, and exposure. Users see exactly what is moving across positions, where risk sits, and where returns originate — all in one unified view. Fourth, Decision — the Decision Center. Every Agent-generated suggestion surfaces in the Decision Center with full context: source Agent, signal, reasoning, and current status. Users can click into the full workflow or execution path, compare competing analyses, and manage an actionable queue of decisions. Every recommendation is structured, traceable, and auditable. These four modules connect in a continuous workflow: Portfolio to Decision to Team to Trade. Why MoTA Is Different Traditional AI investing tools offer a single AI chat box, scattered research answers, black-box signals, no role separation, and AI value that is hard to measure. Reviews are tied to AI silos. MoTA provides a multi-Agent investment team, a connected Portfolio-to-Trade workflow, an auditable Decision Center, dedicated Analyst and PM and Risk and Trader roles in coordination, unified metrics such as ROI and win rate and cost per run and override rate, and a unified path for portfolio, decisions, Agents, and trades. The Vision Behind MoTA Waton Financial Limited's mission with MoTA is clear: to make professional-grade multi-agent investing tools more accessible, more transparent, and more user-controlled. MoTA does not replace human judgment — it amplifies it. The platform frees users from the burden of being a full-stack investment expert and elevates them to a higher role: the builder, manager, and decision-maker of their own AI investment team. As AI moves from content generation into workflow execution, investing — inherently a multi-role, multi-step, multi-constraint process — is a natural fit for this transformation. MoTA is designed to bridge the gap between what AI can do and what the investment workflow actually needs. About MoTA MoTA (Manager of Trading Agents) is Waton Financial Limited's flagship AI-native investment team operating system and marketplace for specialized investing Agents. It enables users to create fully customizable investment teams, assign specialized AI Agents to each role, and receive structured, traceable, and auditable investment suggestions across the entire Portfolio-to-Trade workflow. About Waton Financial Limited Waton Financial Limited is a publicly listed financial services and technology company that designs, owns, and operates the MoTA platform. Waton is committed to building AI-native infrastructure for investment teams and making professional-grade multi-agent investing tools accessible to a broader audience. Welcome to MoTA. Welcome to the new era of investing.

千百度(1028.HK)控股本原智數,切入 AI 數據賽道

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 2026-06-08 / 10:13 UTC+8 千百度(1028.HK)在6月5日宣佈,將通過收購股權並認購新股,取得國內領先 AI 數據服務商本原智數的控股權益,並納入合併報表,形成「鞋履 + 人工智慧數據」雙主業。 為什麼是數據?當公開數據被大模型逐漸消化,AI 的關鍵瓶頸正從「誰的模型更大」,轉向「誰能持續提供更難、更真實的高品質數據」。算力可以採購,演算法可以複現,唯獨這件事買不到、也快不了。2025 年 Meta 以約 290 億美元估值入股 Scale AI,正是市場對這一判斷的重新定價。 本原智數的稀缺,在於它的位置和它的盈利。成立於 2015 年,處於 AI 產業鏈上游,是國內少數同時具備大模型、世界模型與具身智慧完整數據服務能力的供應商之一;服務頭部大模型廠商、一線互聯網平台與領先具身智慧企業,並在若干高價值數據品類上擔任獨家供應商。2025 年收入約 1.562 億元,稅後淨利1,110 萬元,2026 年前五個月收入強勁增長。在普遍依賴燒錢的 AI 行業,一家手握真實訂單、且已盈利的數據公司本就稀缺。 這筆交易的設計也頗具巧思:以千百度內部資源支付,鞋履主業現金流穩健、維持淨現金;認購新股的對價投入產能與研發,創始團隊保留權益。交易完成後,本原智數保持獨立品牌、獨立運營與數據隔離——千百度不做模型、不與其客戶競爭,互為對手的行業客戶得以繼續放心使用同一家中立供應商。 千百度管理層表示:「我們相信,高品質數據是人工智慧時代最關鍵、也最稀缺的基礎設施之一。本次交易使集團以穩健的消費實業為基礎,切入這一高速增長的領域。我們將與本原智數一道,長期為中國 AI 產業提供高品質的數據燃料,在雙主業格局下為股東創造可持續的長期價值。」 2026-06-08 此財經新聞稿由EQS via SeaPRwire.com轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php

C.banner (01028.HK) to Acquire Controlling Stake in Benyuan Zhishu to Enter AI Data Sector

EQS via SeaPRwire.com / 08/06/2026 / 10:13 UTC+8 On June 5, 2026, C.banner (01028.HK) announced that it will obtain controlling interests in Benyuan Zhishu, a leading domestic AI data service provider, through equity acquisition and new share subscription. Benyuan Zhishu will be consolidated into the Group’s financial statements, marking the formation of a dual-core business structure comprising “footwear+ Artificial Intelligence data”. Why data? As public data is gradually digested by large models, the critical bottleneck in AI is shifting from “whose model is bigger” to “who can continuously provide harder, more authentic, high-quality data.” Computing power can be purchased, algorithms can be replicated, but this particular task cannot be bought or expedited. In 2025, Meta invested in Scale AI at a valuation of approximately $29 billion, marking a market revaluation of this insight. The scarcity of Benyuan Zhishu lies in its position and profitability. Founded in 2015, it sits upstream in the AI industry chain and is one of the few domestic suppliers that possess comprehensive data service capabilities, including large models, world models, and embodied intelligence. It serves top-tier large model manufacturers, leading internet platforms, and eminent embodied intelligence enterprises, acting as an exclusive supplier in several high-value data categories. Its revenue in 2025 was approximately 156.2 million yuan, with a net profit of 11.1 million yuan after tax, and the first five months of 2026 have shown strong revenue growth. In an AI industry largely reliant on burning money, a data company equipped with real orders and already profitable is indeed rare. The design of this transaction also demonstrates ingenuity: it is funded entirely with the Group’s internal resources. C.banner’s footwear business generates solid cash flow and maintains a net cash position. Proceeds from the new share subscription will be invested into capacity expansion and R&D, while the founding team will retain equity holdings. Upon completion of the transaction, Benyuan Zhishu will retain its independent brand, independent operations, and data segregation. C.banner will not develop models or compete with Benyuan Zhishu’s clients, allowing industry competitors to continue using the same neutral supplier with confidence. The management of C.banner stated: “We believe that high-quality data is one of the most critical and scarce infrastructures in the era of artificial intelligence. This transaction allows the Group to enter this rapidly growing sector while maintaining a stable foundation in the consumer industry. We look forward to working with Benyuan Zhishu to continuously provide 'data fuel' of high quality to China's AI industry, creating sustainable long-term value for our shareholders under the dual-core business framework.” 08/06/2026 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com
