Dhaka & Singapore, Oct 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Summit LNG Terminal II Co Ltd (“SLNG II”), a unit of Summit Group, has urged the Government of Bangladesh to reverse its decision to terminate the third Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (“FSRU”) project in the country.SLNG II said it had received a notice from the Bangladesh Oil, Gas & Mineral Corporation (“Petrobangla”) on 7 October notifying the termination of the project situated at Moheshkhali in Cox’s Bazar.The Moheshkhali terminal (“2nd FSRU”) in southeast Bangladesh is the second floating gas terminal project undertaken by Summit Group with a planned regasification capacity of 600 million standard cubic feet per day.In response to media queries, SLNG II wishes to clarify the following: 1) In late 2020, the Government of Bangladesh made a strategic decision to transition from coal-fired power generation to natural gas, a cleaner energy source. The initiative was also aimed at boosting gas supply to ensure energy security and support industrial growth. Summit Group submitted a proposal on 11 October 2021, to implement a FSRU on a Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) basis. The proposal was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on 14 June 2023.The approval followed two years of extensive negotiations and consultations with international law firms to address the contractual and technical challenges.2) Summit, in collaboration with Petrobangla and Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Company Limited (“RPGCL”), finalized the Terminal Use Agreement (“TUA”) and Implementation Agreement (“IA”) on 12 October 2023. These were legally vetted and approved by the Cabinet Committee on 12 December 2023.3) SLNG II signed the TUA and IA on 30 March 2024 with Petrobangla and Government of Bangladesh (“GoB”) for the 2nd FSRU. On the same day SLNG II also signed a long-term Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to supply 1.5 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to Petrobangla, starting in October 2026.4) To fulfil the initial conditions precedent (“CPs”) of the agreements signed on 30 March 2024, SLNG II has to date committed investments of approximately USD 15 million to implement the 2nd FSRU.5) The termination notice received on 7 October 2024 was issued on the basis that the agreements signed on 30 March 2024 had not become effective as a performance bond was not submitted within 90 days as stipulated, i.e. on 28 June 2024. SLNG II said that as that date fell on a Friday (not a banking day in Bangladesh), the performance bond was delivered on the next possible working day, with acknowledgement by Petrobangla.6) SLNG II’s lawyers have confirmed that SLNG II had not breached any CPs of the agreements of 30 March 2024. Even if any CP was delayed, Petrobangla did not notify SLNG II within the agreed 30-day window and had therefore deemed the CP as accepted.“SLNG II is owned by Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the largest private sector investor in energy in Bangladesh with a proven track record of developing long-term infrastructure projects in a responsible and transparent manner. SPIL has stated that our investments have helped to catalyse foreign direct investment (“FDI”) into Bangladesh. We respectfully urge the Government of Bangladesh to uphold the sanctity of contracts and to ensure that investors' rights are protected and treated fairly and equitably,” SPIL said.Media ContactWeR1 Consultants Pte LtdIsaac Tang and Shindy KaurWhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688summit@wer1.net Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, Oct 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today unveiled new research highlighting the mounting pressure on software engineers and developers to balance rapid innovation with safety and security. The comprehensive survey of 1,000 embedded software developers and engineers from around the world revealed the growing tension between meeting tight project deadlines and maintaining functional safety, with 75% of respondents acknowledging that urgency often forces them to compromise on key safety requirements.Widespread Frustration Leads 74% of Developers to Consider Switching Operating SystemsWhile developers cite security (54%), cost control (52%) and safety certifications (48%) as their ‘top' considerations when selecting an operating system, the survey also highlights significant downstream challenges in each of these areas that have made the vast majority (74%) of respondents open to changing their existing OS. Indeed, of those required to meet international safety standards, 61% say it is extremely or very challenging to meet these specific standards with their current OS. Security concerns (36%) and lackluster performance issues (28%) are the two main reasons respondents are considering changing their current OS.Open-Source Platforms Preferred Yet Fall Short on Safety StandardsOpen-Source operating systems are the preferred foundational platform for almost half (44%) of developers, with an additional 25% indicating no preference for either Open-Source or proprietary offerings. Open-Source platforms are often adopted within development environments due to widespread familiarity with the technology and their open availability, but critically, they do not carry the same safety certifications as many proprietary options which go through rigorous verification and testing to achieve; validating and verifying each stage of the development process to ensure stringent international safety requirements are met."As we enter the era of 'Software-Defined Everything,' where devices and infrastructure increasingly rely on software for operations, new features, and innovation, the importance of functional safety (FuSa) and security are paramount," said John Wall, SVP and Head of BlackBerry QNX. "While 90% of organizations surveyed recognize this as a priority, developers are under growing pressure to meet deadlines and budgets, which is why pre-certified software is so important to enabling organizations to not only meet their goals but do so without compromise."Safety Certification Gaps Cause Costly Delays and Compliance IssuesWorryingly, the survey also revealed that nearly a third (31%) of all respondents admitted that their OS lacked the necessary safety certifications or only had ‘some' of them covered. This gap has no doubt contributed to delays for two-thirds of organizations as they grapple with the complexity, time, and cost-averaging $591,000 and 154 hours of company resources-needed to meet evolving safety standards.Security Vulnerabilities and Breaches Lead to Project DelaysSecurity also remains a pain point for developers, particularly for Open-Source operating systems, which are more likely to experience a breach (46% vs. 40% for proprietary systems). Of those who have encountered a security breach or vulnerability in their OS, 72% reported delays in project timelines directly due to security vulnerabilities, further exacerbating the challenges of maintaining both innovation and robust, secure systems."To thrive in a software-driven world, developers need an OS that prioritizes safety and security," added Wall. "Pre-certified, secure-by-design solutions allow teams to focus on innovation rather than troubleshooting. Choosing the right OS can significantly transform your business by minimizing headaches and enhancing efficiency."Other key findings include:While 73% of organizations prioritize operating system security, the frequency of applying security patches varies, with a notable average of 5 weeks between updates.Operating system issues can have a significant impact on project timelines, with 34% of organizations reporting that they have missed deadlines due to OS-related problems, with the average delay globally being one month.For more information on how BlackBerry QNX's portfolio of embedded software solutions can help accelerate safety-certification, ensure reliability and reduce development time, visit BlackBerry QNX.Methodology: Research was conducted in from July to September by Coleman Parkes and commissioned by BlackBerry QNX, surveying 1,000 embedded software developers and engineers across North America (USA and Canada), Europe (UK, France, and Germany), and APAC (Japan, South Korea).About BlackBerryBlackBerry (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) provides intelligent security software and services to enterprises and governments around the world.

香港, 2024年10月7日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 近期，在市場需求邊際改善、下游應用驅動強勁、全球地緣風險波動等多重因素共振之下，全球鋁市場經歷了一波顯著的價格上行，行業基本面呈逐步向好態勢。當此機遇，東南亞頂級氧化鋁生產企業Nanshan Aluminium International於9月26日向港交所遞交了A1招股書，擬向資本市場發起沖擊。根據弗若斯特沙利文的資料，截至2023年底，東南亞主要的氧化鋁生產國為印尼和越南。Nanshan Aluminium International是東南亞並列第一的優質氧化鋁製造商，按2023年的設計產能計，在印尼及東南亞排名首位。自成立以來，公司持續整合原材料供應優勢，推動產銷量攀升，促進業務發展並不斷提升市場份額。母公司背景雄厚，業務發展基礎堅實招股書顯示，Nanshan Aluminium International的控股股東為南山鋁業（600219.SH），於1999年在A股主板上市。南山鋁業深耕鋁行業數十年，建立了完整的產業鏈，產銷量國內領先，鋁型材生產線水平先進，在鋁行業積累了豐富的技術儲備及專業經驗，目前為世界短距離內產業鏈最完整的鋁加工企業。在整個氧化鋁產業鏈，南山鋁業有著紮實的技術積累。在Nanshan Aluminium International的發展過程中，南山鋁業不僅提供技術、專業知識，亦提供資金、資源等積極支持公司發展，為公司在東南亞開展業務奠定堅實基礎。依託南山鋁業在整個氧化鋁產業鏈的優勢地位，公司於2017年開始在印尼建設氧化鋁生產基地的籌備工作，並完成了一期氧化鋁生產項目及二期氧化鋁生產項目的建設。與此同時，Nanshan Aluminium International的主要股東Press Metal在下游電解鋁生產方面實力卓然，而投資者Santony家族及其關聯方擁有豐富的鋁土礦儲量，一直為公司提供優質鋁土礦原材料。股東及戰略合作夥伴的鼎力支持，形成和諧雙贏的協同效應，助力公司持續擴大在鋁產業鏈的業務領域。持續創新技術水平領先，行業龍頭地位凸顯業務模式上，Nanshan Aluminium International以生產和銷售優質冶金級氧化鋁為重點，在印尼採購鋁土礦，並採用低溫拜耳法。其產品以質量著稱，主要滿足東南亞市場的需求，包括生產電解鋁的領先綜合性鋁業生產商及大宗商品貿易商。Nanshan Aluminium International的生產設施位於印尼。印尼是東盟重要成員國，處於東南亞發展趨勢的核心，擁有豐富的鋁土礦資源。東盟成員國之間的經濟合作和一體化為印尼鋁行業的發展提供了肥沃的土壤，同時該國正利用其優勢吸引外商投資氧化鋁產能。受益於穩定的原材料供應、強有力的政策支持及便利的交通網絡，近年來，Nanshan Aluminium International業務發展迅速。公司的生產基地地理位置優越，運輸路線較短，且背靠印尼龐大優質的鋁土礦資源，原材料方面享有全面成本優勢。為保證材料設備採購和產品銷售的及時便捷運輸，亦在生產基地自建港口碼頭，帶來便捷銷售及運輸。公司還主動開展一整套生產及配套設施的建設，借助最先進的生產線及配套設施的無縫運行，有效提高了生產力及運營效率，進而帶來顯著的成本及盈利優勢。根據弗若斯特沙利文的資料，Nanshan Aluminium International氧化鋁的生產成本低於行業平均值。與此同時，Nanshan Aluminium International在生產中採用低溫拜耳法，這項工藝保證了進入焙燒階段的粒徑，確保最終生產出優質氧化鋁顆粒，使得產品質量十分優異。公司產品中小於45μm的顆粒比例遠低於20%的標準要求，不超過6%。根據弗若斯特沙利文的資料，該水平達到行業更高標準。憑藉有利的戰略位置、不斷提高的產能及技術優勢，Nanshan Aluminium International在滿足東南亞日益增長的氧化鋁需求方面保持先發優勢。 2021財年、2022財年、2023財年及2024年上半年，其氧化鋁產量分別達到約0.49百萬噸、1.21百萬噸、1.91百萬噸及1.08百萬噸，呈穩步增長之勢。財務表現方面，公司收益由2021財年的1.73億美元增至2022財年的4.67億美元，並再次激增至2023財年的6.78億美元，CAGR達98.0%，增勢迅猛。於2024年上半年，收益由2023年上半年的2.99億美元進一步增長至4.23億美元，同比增長41.3%。各期毛利率分別達到25.9%、24.0%、29.2%、22.2%及42.2%。綜合來看，生產規模、成本效益、技術進步及嚴格的質量控制等關鍵要素的深度融合，令Nanshan Aluminium International確立了卓越的綜合競爭力，成為東南亞頂級氧化鋁生產企業。印尼經濟前景廣闊，港股「純印尼概念第一股」有望誕生從行業發展前景看，東南亞的經濟擴張速度超過全球平均水平，而印尼既是「一帶一路」倡議在東南亞推進的重要區域，也是東南亞最大經濟體，其連貫的宏觀政策及穩健的投資環境，持續推動氧化鋁行業的穩步增長。據高盛預測，到2050年，印尼將成為全球第四大經濟體。從該地區飆升的需求及強勁的投資勢頭中，Nanshan Aluminium International料將充分獲益。2022年1月， 印尼佐科總統視察Nanshan Aluminium International在印尼的子公司PT Bintan Alumina Indonesia （PT BAI）的氧化鋁項目，其在講話中強調，「印尼有很多豐富的資源，非常歡迎外國企業前來投資、發展、獲利，我們不但可以得到附加值的提升，亦能增加稅收、拉動就業，促進國家經濟繁榮。我特別感謝像南山這樣的企業勇敢在印尼投資發展，正因為有了這樣優秀的企業，才使得印尼工業及下游相關產業鏈得以成長」。佐科總統為Nanshan Aluminium International 在印尼的子公司PT BAI題詞「發展下游產業，促進國家自強」。另值得一提的是，於2023年11月，港交所已將印尼交易所納入其認可證券交易所名單，為印尼企業提供接觸更廣泛區域和全球投資者的機會。此番遞表港交所，意味著Nanshan Aluminium International有望成為港股市場的純印尼概念第一股。 Copyright 2024 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 7, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTC Pink: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") continues to advance its role in the global critical minerals sector. The Company has signed a binding Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire 100% ownership of 1458205 B.C. Ltd. (the "Target"), a private company holding three brownfield projects in Slovakia. This acquisition includes two antimony-focused properties and one tin project, all located within the European Union.The assets include the Trojarova Antimony Project and the Medvedi Tin Project, both containing historical resources dating back to the Soviet era. As part of the transaction, Military Metals will issue 10 million common shares, valued at CAD $5.6 million, to the shareholders of the Target. The Company aims to finalize a definitive agreement and close the acquisition by October 2024.Antimony, a critical component for battery technology, advanced military systems, and other industrial applications, is in high demand globally. As recognized by the United States, European Union, and other leading economies, antimony is classified as a critical mineral. With much of the world's antimony reserves concentrated in China, Russia, and Tajikistan, Military Metals sees an opportunity to enhance Western access to this essential resource."This acquisition strategically positions Military Metals as a leading explorer and developer of antimony," said CEO Scott Eldridge. "The Trojarova and Tienesgrund projects offer significant potential for rapid advancement, particularly given Slovakia's strong mining infrastructure and history. We see this as a perfect alignment with the European Union's Critical Raw Materials Act, opening the door to potential EU funding sources as we advance these projects toward production."The Trojarova Antimony Project, located in Western Slovakia, has been extensively explored, with historical Soviet-era data indicating substantial antimony and gold historical resources. While these estimates are not yet compliant with modern standards, Military Metals plans to validate them with new drilling, ensuring compliance with National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101) requirements.In addition to Trojarova, the Company is acquiring the Tiennesgrund Antimony Project in Eastern Slovakia, which holds a 10 km-long fault-hosted vein system, and the Medvedi Potok Tin Project, a classic tin vein system with underground workings and historical resources. As part of the acquisition, Military Metals will also gain access to small-scale processing equipment, reinforcing its strategy of operational efficiency and innovation.With geopolitical tensions and increasing demand putting pressure on critical mineral supply chains, Military Metals is positioning itself to become a key player in securing Western access to vital antimony resources.Map showing the location of Military's properties in SlovakiaTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/225779_fdc5835d347c3af5_001full.jpgThe technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.

周大福人壽保險有限公司（「周大福人壽」）日前假香港會議展覽中心舉行「開創保險新價值」暨邁向40周年慶祝晚宴。為進一步發揚周大福人壽多年來為客戶提供個人化匠心規劃、終身保障及優質體驗的價值，公司即日宣佈推出「匠心-傳承」儲蓄壽險計劃 2，以更快更高的預期回報、更強的自主性及更大的傳承優勢，助力客戶掌握豐盛人生。周大福人壽「開創保險新價值」暨邁向40周年慶祝晚宴由新創建集團執行董事兼聯席行政總裁﹑周大福人壽非執行董事鄭志明，新創建集團執行董事兼聯席行政總裁、周大福人壽非執行董事何智恒，周大福人壽行政總裁葉文傑，聯同周大福人壽一眾管理層為慶祝晚會揭開序幕。唱作歌星林奕匡及黃妍獻唱，著名藝人陳慧琳擔任壓軸表演嘉賓。為加強品牌宣傳，周大福人壽除了在高踞港島的中糧大廈頂層LED 屏幕及銅鑼灣遊艇會大型戶外廣告展示「周大福人壽」全新名字外，更額外於5大商廈增設廣告燈牌以慶賀周大福人壽邁向40周年，包括遠東金融中心、夏慤大廈、信和財務大廈、華懋世紀廣場及 V Point。周大福人壽行政總裁葉文傑表示：「周大福人壽在2024年開啟新里程，並昂首邁向40周年。多年來我們與香港共同跨越挑戰，把握機遇，成就飛躍式發展。展望未來，我們將進一步緊扣周大福集團多元業務體系的雄厚資源、財務實力及環球投資佈局，不斷擴大服務網絡，優化產品及服務。我們立足香港，放眼中國及其他亞洲市場，為客戶持續開創保險新價值。」「匠心•傳承」儲蓄壽險計劃 2助力靈活理財為慶賀邁向40周年及滿足客戶人生不同階段的財務需要，周大福人壽延續「匠心•傳承」儲蓄壽險計劃（「匠心1」）的成功，享譽推出「匠心•傳承」儲蓄壽險計劃 2（「匠心2」）。 新產品通過市場首創[1]的「財富躍進選項」[2]，允許客戶調整保單結構，以追求更高的回報，市場特有[1]的「財富增值調配選項」[3]，賦予客戶更大的自主權，配合人生不同階段風險承受程度實現財富的增值和傳承。此外，「匠心2」具有雙傳承的特色，不僅令客戶可無限次轉換受保人[4]，更可設 2 名受益人，以作遺產規劃，延續保單，發揮更大的財富傳承作用。周大福人壽首席產品總監關珮妍表示：「周大福人壽推出『匠心2』，以配合客戶在不同人生階段之理財需要，延續『匠心1』的貼心特點，以美元保單為例，『匠心2』提供更短的回本期、更高的預期回報及更大的自主性，全面加強提取優勢，讓客戶及時把握市場機遇，實現財富增值和傳承。」「匠心2」的三大主要優勢1.回本期短、預期回報高及提取靈活- 以５年保費繳付期[5]，客戶除可於第7個及第13個保單週年日達預期回本及保證回本，總保單價值更可於第17個保單週年日完結時，達已繳付保費總額超過200%。此外，「匠心2」的預期回報相較於「匠心1」更具優勢。- 延續「匠心1」的優勢，「匠心2」提供的提取方案更靈活，滿足客戶人生階段的需要2.更強的自主性- 市場首創[1]「財富躍進選項」[2]：客戶可於第10個及其後的保單週年日，申請行使一次市場首創[1]之「財富躍進選項」[2]，將保單內之金額組成部分#根據此選項下的長期目標資產配置重新釐定，以提升保單的預期回報。- 「財富增值調配選項」[3]：此計劃特設「增進」、「均衡」及「保守」3個市場特有[1]的調配選項，客戶可於第10個保單週年日開始申請行使此選項，靈活挑選「穩健資產戶口」[6]的價值比例，貼合不同人生階段之需要 。相較於「匠心1」，客戶可申請行使此選項的時間提前了5年。- 自由轉換保單貨幣：客戶可於第3個或其後任何一個保單週年日行使「貨幣轉換選項」，將基本計劃的保單貨幣轉換至一個不同的貨幣（美元、港元、人民幣、英鎊、歐元、新加坡元、澳元或加元），配合其環球理財需要。-「保單分拆選項」[7]：第5個保單年度完結或保費繳付年期完結後起（以較遲者），客戶可將現有保單的基本計劃的部分投保單位分配至一份獨立的「分拆保單」，即一變二，再二變四，如此類推，靈活規劃資產。- 保費假期[8]長達四年：客戶可早至第2個保單週年日起申請長達四年的保費假期，暫緩繳交保費，以彈性處理突發事項或應付短期需要，而毋須擔心保單即時失效及失去原有的保障。3. 更大的傳承優勢- 保單雙傳承方案：客戶可於第6個保單週月日起無限次轉換受保人[4]，而保障期亦會調整至新受保人（「轉換新受保人」）128歲，讓保單可以享有充足的財富增值期。此外，「保單延續選項」[9]令保單持有人可訂明最多兩位指定受益人及支付予每位受益人的身故收益比例，於受保人身故時，受益人將成為延續新受保人，配合客戶財富傳承所需。- 自訂身故賠償支付選項 : 保單持有人可選擇於指定年期或於受益人指定的年歲開始支付身故賠償予受益人，讓受益人獲得最合適的安排，給摯愛安心規劃未來，讓愛一直延續下去。- 保費豁免保障10：倘若遇特定不幸事故，計劃提供「保費豁免保障」及「付款人保費豁免保障」，以確保累積的財富不受影響並確保孩子的將來更有保障。為支持客戶更輕鬆實現理財計劃，客戶只需投保指定保費金額，即可獲享高達26%首年保費回贈[11]，若以一筆過形式清繳全期應繳保費，預繳保費更可獲全期特高保證高達5%年利率優惠[12]，讓客戶以更低廉的成本開展理財及保障方案。#組成部分指基本計劃的保證現金價值、累積復歸紅利及終期分紅之面值及現金價值（如有）和穩健資產戶口之累積價值（如有）。註：1.「市場特有」及「市場首創」之計劃特點為比較香港主要人壽保險公司同類主要儲蓄壽險產品後所得出之結果，截至2024年9月26日。2. 於第10個保單週年日及其後的保單週年日前或之後的30日內，在符合本公司當時的通行規則下，客戶可行使財富躍進選項並根據新的長期目標資產配置重新釐定基本計劃之保證現金價值、累積復歸紅利之面值及現金價值(如有)、終期分紅之面值及現金價值(如有)和穩健資產戶口之累積價值(如有) 至其他預設的程度（由本公司釐定並於批註及新保單資料說明中闡述），而毋須提供任何可保證明，惟須符合下述條件：(i) 所有到期及應繳保費必須已經全數付清及任何欠款必須已經全數清還；(ii) 於要求行使此選項時，在本保單的基本計劃下沒有生效中之保費假期、任何處理中之行使保單分拆選項、貨幣轉換選項、財富增值調配選項或轉換受保人選項之申請及任何處理中的索償；(iii) 申請一經遞交後則不能作出更改或取消；及(iv) 此選項於本保單下只能行使一次。於財富躍進選項生效後，(i) 本保單的基本計劃的保證現金價值、復歸紅利之面值及現金價值(如有)、終期分紅之面值及現金價值(如有)和穩健資產戶口之累積價值(如有)將按本公司唯一的酌情權作出調整，惟保單之投保單位維持不變。而將來的保證現金價值、復歸紅利之面值及現金價值(如有)和終期分紅之面值及現金價值(如有)亦會相應被釐定；(ii) 「財富增值調配選項」將重新設定為「增進」(即穩健資產戶口之分配比例及價值為零)；(iii) 在符合本公司當時的通行規則下，在本保單下所有附加保單（如有）及附加契約（如有）將於更改後繼續生效；(iv)本保單的基本計劃的受益人、保單持有人、後補保單持有人(如已指定)、首名受保人、受保人、保單貨幣、保單日期、保單生效日期及保單年度將會維持不變；及(v)除另行指明外，過往於本保單的基本計劃下作出的指示，包括但不限於身故賠償支付選項及保單延續選項亦維持不變。如財富躍進選項及財富增值調配選項於同一個保單週年日被選擇，財富躍進選項將被行使，而已選擇的財富增值調配選項則被即時自動撤銷，保單持有人可於下一個保單週年日重新選擇財富增值調配選項。由於新的長期目標資產配置之股權類型資產較高，行使財富躍進選項後的保證現金價值或有機會下調，風險或相對有機會增加。如有疑問，客戶可向理財顧問了解更多或尋求獨立專業意見。請參閱保單條款以了解更多關於財富躍進選項之詳情。3.

100%於第10個保單週年日及其後的保單週年日前或之後的30日內，在符合本公司當時的通行規則下，客戶可行使財富增值調配選項以達至所選擇之調配選項的相應穩健資產戶口分配比例，惟須符合下述條件：(i)申請之調配選項必須不同於保單之基本計劃的預設調配選項(適用於首次行使此選項)或就我們記錄所示之最新調配選項(適用於非首次行使此選項的情況)；(ii)除首次行使此選項外，其後每次申請的轉移日期與先前一次行使財富增值調配選項的轉移日期必須相隔不少於1年；(iii)欠款必須已經全數清還。財富增值調配選項一旦行使，我們將根據為行使此選項而改變的復歸紅利及終期分紅之現金價值，以我們決定的比率相應地調整任何將來的復歸紅利及終期分紅之現金價值及面值。我們將於批准申請後，釐定緊接該次財富增值調配選項行使後之穩健資產戶口價值(「目標價值」)。目標價值相等於所選之調配選項的穩健資產戶口分配比例乘以以下之總和：(i)緊接該次行使前之穩健資產戶口累積價值(如有)(「現有價值」)；及(ii)緊接該次行使前之復歸紅利之現金價值及終期分紅之現金價值。我們會於轉移日期將穩健資產戶口之餘額由現有價值調整至目標價值，其中：在現有價值低於目標價值的情況下，不足的差額將以轉移最新之復歸紅利之現金價值(如有)及終期分紅之現金價值(如有)至穩健資產戶口用作填補；或在現有價值高於目標價值的情況下，穩健資產戶口中剩餘的差額將轉為復歸紅利之現金價值及終期分紅之現金價值。如財富躍進選項及財富增值調配選項於同一個保單週年日被選擇，財富躍進選項將被行使，而已選擇的財富增值調配選項則被即時自動撤銷。保單持有人可於下一個保單週年日重新選擇財富增值調配選項。請參閱保單條款以了解更多關於財富增值調配選項之詳情。4. 轉換受保人須符合指定條件和當時的行政規定。投保單位、保證現金價值、累積復歸紅利之面值(如有)、終期分紅之面值(如有)、任何穩健資產戶口之累積價值、保單日期及保單年度將在轉換受保人生效日期當日保持不變，而期滿日將更改為轉換新受保人128歲生日當天或緊接其後的保單週年日(以適用者為準)。轉換新受保人的年歲於申請轉換受保人時須為64歲(上一次生日年齡)或以下；轉換受保人必須獲得保單持有人、準新受保人以及承讓人(如有)同意，而新舊受保人必須於轉換受保人時仍然在生及保單仍然有效時作出申請，並需提供令我們滿意之準新受保人的可保證明。我們在轉換受保人生效日期當日起將停止為於我們記錄中的首名受保人或之前的受保人(如適用及視乎個別情況而定)提供任何保障。所有附加保障將在轉換受保人生效日期當日終止。請參閱保單條款以了解更多關於轉換受保人選項之詳情。5. 以５年保費繳付期，年繳保費10萬美元，已繳付保費總額50萬美元為例，並沒有行使任何保單選項。6. 根據財富增值調配選項條款所定的戶口，其長期目標資產配置為100%放於固定收入類別證券。穩健資產戶口之價值將會按我們不時公佈的利率積存生息。穩健資產戶口之利率並非保證，並可能會在任何年度為0%。7. 在計劃有效期内及受保人仍然生存期間，由第5個保單年度終結起 （適用於「匠心 • 傳承」儲蓄壽險計劃2（尊尚版）） /在計劃有效期内及受保人仍然生存期間，由第5個保單年度終結後或保費繳付年期終結後起(以較遲者為準) （適用於「匠心 • 傳承」儲蓄壽險計劃2（優越版）），在符合本公司當時的通行規則下，客戶可行使保單分拆選項以建立一份獨立的保單(「分拆保單」)，從本保單的基本計劃中分配某部分的投保單位至分拆保單而毋須提供可保證明，惟須符合下述條件：(i)於行使保單分拆選項(「分拆」)後，在本保單的基本計劃及分拆保單下各自的投保單位不可少於客戶提出要求當時我們所批准的最低投保單位金額；(ii)分拆保單之受保人與本保單的基本計劃的受保人必須相同；(iii)於要求行使此選項時，在本保單的基本計劃下沒有任何處理中之索償；(iv)保單分拆選項申請一經遞交後則不能作出更改或取消；(v)在我們批准客戶的要求前，任何欠款必須已經全數清還；及(vi)每個保單年度只可行使保單分拆選項一次。於批准分拆後，(i)除另有說明，分拆保單之條款將會與本保單的基本計劃相同；(ii)本保單的基本計劃的投保單位、保證現金價值、復歸紅利及終期分紅之面值及現金價值(如有)、穩健資產戶口之累積價值(如有)將會按本保單的基本計劃及分拆保單的投保單位比例減少及分配至分拆保單。我們將按照客戶所分配的投保單位而釐定本保單的基本計劃及分拆保單之現時及將來之保證現金價值、復歸紅利及終期分紅之面值及現金價值(如有)和將來保費；(iii)本保單的基本計劃及分拆保單的已繳付保費總額將根據客戶所分配的投保單位調整，並用以計算身故賠償；(iv)在符合本公司的規則下，在本保單下所有附加保障(如有)將於分拆後繼續生效；(v)本保單的基本計劃的受益人、保單持有人、後補保單持有人(如已指定)、首名受保人、受保人、保單貨幣、保單日期、保單生效日期及保單年度將會維持不變，而分拆保單亦與本保單的基本計劃的受益人、保單持有人、後補保單持有人(如已指定)、首名受保人、受保人、保單貨幣、保單日期、保單生效日期及保單年度相同；及(vi)除另行指明外，過往於本保單的基本計劃作出的指示，包括但不限於財富增值調配選項、財富躍進選項、身故賠償支付選項及保單延續選項亦適用於分拆保單。分拆保單只會在其保單條款及保單資料說明發出後生效。請參閱保單條款以了解更多關於保單分拆選項之詳情。8. 保費假期並不適用於2年保費繳付年期之保單，每次申請之保費假期必須為1年的倍數，直至達到可享的保費假期上限，保費假期只適用於基本計劃，並將會於下一個保單週年日起生效，但附加於此保單之附加保障將會同時被終止。我們將根據獲批准保費假期申請之年期以延遲保費期滿日及保費到期日。附加於此保單之附加保障可以於保費假期後重新申請，惟保費及批核將根據當時之投保申請為準。於保費假期期間，客戶毋須繳交基本計劃保費，而投保單位、保證現金價值、累積的復歸紅利之面值(如有)、穩健資產戶口之累積價值(如有)及基本計劃保障於保費假期期間將維持不變，惟於保費假期期間客戶從未作出部分退保。復歸紅利及終期分紅之現金價值(如有)並非保證。於保費假期期間，我們不會公佈任何非保證復歸紅利之面值。請參閱保單條款以了解更多關於保費假期之詳情。9. 保單持有人可就保單延續選項於受保人身故前設定一或兩位指定受益人，並就保單延續選項訂明支付予每位受益人的身故收益比例，於受保人身故時，若保單持有人(仍在生)與受保人非同一人，受益人將成為延續新受保人；若保單持有人同時身故或保單持有人與受保人為同一人，受益人將成為新保單持有人及延續新受保人，以便在受保人身故後仍然維持本保單繼續生效，惟該受益人須符合當時公司的行政規定。如已行使保單延續選項，(i)而受保人身故前只有一位受益人且於受保人身故前已就該受益人選擇保單延續選項，於行使此選項後，投保單位、已繳付保費總額、保證現金價值、累積復歸紅利之面值(如有)、終期分紅之面值(如有)及穩健資產戶口之累積價值(如有)、保單日期和保單年度將在保單延續生效日期當日維持不變，但保單的基本計劃之計劃期滿日將調整至延續新受保人128歲生日當天或緊接其後的保單週年日(以適用者為準)；(ii)若受保人身故前已有多於一位受益人並於受保人身故前已為一或兩位受益人選擇保單延續選項，將於受保人身故後根據已指定的受益人數目建立一份或建立兩份本保單之基本計劃，而就每份新建立之基本計劃而言，相關的投保單位、已繳付保費總額、保證現金價值、累積復歸紅利相關之面值(如有)、終期分紅相關之面值(如有)及任何穩健資產戶口相關之累積價值(如有)，將根據保單持有人就每位已選擇保單延續選項的受益人訂明之獲分配身故收益的比例而調整。相關的保單日期和保單年度將在保單延續生效日期當日維持不變，但本保單的基本計劃之相關的計劃期滿日將調整至每位延續新受保人128歲生日當天或緊接其後的保單週年日(以適用者為準)，而退保款項會等於或低於行使前的身故賠償。如身故賠償支付選項已被選取予保單延續選項下的受益人，客戶需要為該受益人遞交任何保單延續選項書面申請前取消身故賠償支付選項安排。所有附加保障（如有）將在保單延續生效日期當日終止。任何未被選為此保單延續選項下之受益人（如有）將根據保單持有人訂明的相關身故賠償支付選項支付身故賠償予每位受益人。如保單持有人同時選擇了保單延續選項及身故賠償支付選項，保單延續選項將被自動行使（與訂立的先後次序不相關）。於行使「保單延續選項」後，保單持有人之前所選的保單延續選項及身故賠償支付選項會自動失效。請參閱保單條款以了解更多關於保單延續選項之詳情。10. 保費豁免保障有兩類安排：(i)「保費豁免保障」適用於受保人同時為保單持有人，於保單繕發或轉換受保人時最新之受保人須為18至60歲，並不幸在75歲前確診完全永久傷殘。(ii)「付款人保費豁免保障」適用於保單繕發或轉換受保人時，最新之受保人年齡為17歲或以下;於保單繕發或轉換保單持有人(包括後補保單持有人)時，最新之保單持有人(包括後補保單持有人)須年屆60歲或以下，並不幸在75歲前確診完全永久傷殘或身故。於保費豁免完結日(即保單繕發時所定之保費期滿日)或在我們豁免的基本計劃的保費總額達到有關最高保費豁免總金額(以每受保人計)(以較早者為準)後，保單持有人需繼續繳付剩餘的保費，否則保單會被執行自動保費貸款或失效。除前述的剩餘保費，在我們批准本保障的索賠前，如已繳付相關豁免保費期間的到期保費，我們會將該等保費全數退回(不設利息)。如因意外導致的事故可即時受到保障，而因疾病導致身故或確診完全永久傷殘須符合2年等候期。請參閱保單條款以了解更多關於「保費豁免保障」及「付款人保費豁免保障」之詳情。11.受條款及細則約束，詳情請瀏覽
