ORLANDO, FL, May 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At SAP Sapphire in 2026, SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) introduced the Autonomous Enterprise to help enhance the world’s most critical business workflows, so that humans and AI work together to meet the accelerating demands of global business profitably, strategically and safely. “For the mission-critical processes of our customers, ‘almost right’ just isn’t good enough,” said Christian Klein, CEO of SAP SE. “By uniting SAP Business AI Platform with SAP Autonomous Suite, we anchor AI agents in the business processes, data and governance so they can deliver accurate, compliant and secure outcomes, unlocking new sources of revenue and meaningful cost savings.”The Autonomous Enterprise includes a unified AI platform for building, contextualizing and governing agents, an autonomous suite that executes core business operations and a new user experience that redefines how people work with enterprise software.Introducing SAP Business AI PlatformSAP Business AI Platform is a new foundation for building and deploying enterprise AI grounded in real business context. SAP Business AI Platform now unifies SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Business Data Cloud and SAP Business AI into a single, governed environment.At its core is the SAP Knowledge Graph solution, which gives AI agents a structured map of business entities, processes and relationships across a customer’s SAP landscape. Joule Studio is SAP’s AI-first solution for building enterprise agents, applications and agentic workflows. Developers can build using the no-code, pro-code and AI frameworks of their choice on SAP-managed infrastructure that is secure, scalable and optimized for enterprise AI.Deploying SAP Autonomous Suite Across Every Business Function and IndustryBuilding on this foundation, SAP also introduced SAP Autonomous Suite, which enables SAP’s existing business applications with AI agents capable of running processes from start-to-finish.The suite will deploy more than 50 domain-specific Joule Assistants across finance, supply chain, procurement, human capital management and customer experience. These assistants will automate end-to-end processes by orchestrating a subset of over 200 specialized agents to execute precise tasks. For example, the new Autonomous Close Assistant can compress the financial close process from weeks to days by automating journal entries, reconciliation and error resolution across the entire process.SAP also launched Industry AI, expanding its deep industry portfolio through seven autonomous solutions that will enable start-to-finish industry processes and embed sector-specific process logic, data models and regulatory requirements. At SAP Sapphire, SAP showcased its work with European energy giant RWE to leverage Industry AI, helping reduce unplanned downtime across its offshore wind turbines. With SAP’s Autonomous Asset Management scenario, AI agents are designed to analyze data from thousands of past incidents, identify the likely root cause and generate pre-filled work orders with the right tools and proven fixes from other sites.Designing the Autonomous User ExperienceThe company also revealed Joule Work, redefining how users engage with SAP software. Instead of navigating individual applications and entering data across several screens, users will now interact primarily with Joule. By describing a desired business outcome, Joule will orchestrate the right combination of workflows, data and agents to get it done.Joule Work goes beyond conversation, proactively surfacing relevant insights and automating routine tasks behind the scenes so work moves forward even when humans aren’t actively steering it. It will be available on desktop, mobile and voice across SAP and non-SAP systems.Accelerating the Customer Journey Toward Autonomy with €100 Million InfusionSAP evolved its customer and partner programs to help accelerate the organization’s journey to the Autonomous Enterprise. To catalyze adoption, the company has launched a €100 million fund for SAP partners to help customers deploy SAP-built AI assistants and agents. The fund is also available to partners that extend or build new partner agents on the new SAP Business AI Platform using Joule Studio.SAP has enhanced its RISE with SAP and SAP GROW offerings to accelerate AI adoption. Both include access to the Joule Assistants portfolio; RISE with SAP customers will have three assistants activated within their first year, while SAP GROW customers receive full portfolio access at onboarding. SAP S/4HANA on-premises and SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC) customers are not excluded: those that commit to transitioning the majority of their current landscape to SAP Cloud ERP gain access to select AI scenarios, bridging the gap between their current landscape and their cloud destinationSAP also introduced new agent-led transformation tooling that can reduce ERP migration efforts by more than 35 percent, driving faster and more predictable projects by automating system analysis, code remediation, configuration and testing at scale.Lastly, SAP announced a full slate of strategic partnerships across each category:- Platform and suite partnerships include Anthropic, with Claude among the foundation models SAP’s AI platform will leverage to power Joule agents across HR, procurement and supply chain; Amazon Web Services, bringing zero-copy data integration between SAP Business Data Cloud and Amazon Athena; Google Cloud and Microsoft, enabling bidirectional agent-to-agent interoperability between Joule and external agent frameworks; Mistral AI and Cohere, delivering sovereign model options on SAP’s cloud infrastructure; n8n, providing visual AI workflow orchestration inside Joule Studio; NVIDIA, whose OpenShell provides the trusted secure runtime for Joule Studio; and Parloa, bringing AI agents into SAP Service Cloud to handle customer interactions with full access to business data and service processes.- Implementation partnerships include Palantir and Accenture, partnering on complex data migration scenarios, and Conduct for AI-powered cloud ERP migrations.Learn more in the SAP Sapphire 2026 Innovation News Guide.Visit the SAP News Center.

HONG KONG, May 13, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SinoMab BioScience Limited (“SinoMab” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 03681.HK) is pleased to announce that Dr. Shui On Leung, Executive Director, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, was invited as a special guest to present at the 2026 LifeArc Translational Science Summit in London,UK. As one of the most influential global events in translational medicine, the summit brought together top scientists, practicing clinicians, industry leaders, policymakers and institutional investors from across the globe. During the event, Dr. Shui On Leung delivered a keynote speech, systematically outlining SinoMab’s R&D strategies for autoimmune diseases and the latest clinical progress of its core pipeline, while engaging in in-depth dialogues with international peers.Hosted by LifeArc, a prestigious UK medical research charity, the annual summit is committed to bridging early-stage scientific research and real-world clinical application, with profound expertise and influence in addressing rare diseases and wide-ranging unmet medical needs. This year’s summit centered on how translational research can accelerate the entire journey from laboratory discoveries to patient access, by advancing novel treatment modalities, transforming clinical practice, shaping health policies and driving commercial innovation. Attendees held interdisciplinary discussions on cutting-edge areas including antibody drugs, gene therapy and cell therapy, exploring solutions to break through core bottlenecks in translational medicine and boost integrated development across industry, academia, research and clinical sectors. Dr. Shui On Leung’s invitation to this high-profile event marks high recognition from leading international authorities of SinoMab’s innovative efforts in immunotherapy.In his keynote address, Dr. Shui On Leung analyzed the current landscape and prevailing challenges in global R&D for autoimmune disease therapeutics, and elaborated on SinoMab’s differentiated innovation framework anchored in “First-in-Class” and “Best-in-Class” drug development. He gave a detailed introduction to SM17, the Company’s flagship humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the interleukin-25 (IL-25) receptor. By precisely binding to IL-25 receptor, a key upstream alarmin molecule regulating type 2 immune responses, SM17 blocks inflammatory cascade reactions at the source. It holds broad therapeutic potential for a spectrum of inflammatory and immune-mediated disorders, including atopic dermatitis (AD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Dr. Leung shared a series of landmark milestones achieved by SM17 recently. In the AD treatment landscape, Phase 1b clinical data demonstrated outstanding therapeutic efficacy. In the high-dose cohort, 91.7% of patients reported significant itch relief measured by the NRS-4 scale, 75% achieved EASI 75 skin lesion improvement, and 41.7% attained complete or near-complete clearance of AD symptoms (IGA 0/1). Such clinical outcomes outperform existing IL-4/IL-13 targeted monoclonal antibodies, while the product also boasts a more favorable safety profile compared with JAK inhibitors. Building on these promising results, the Phase II clinical trial of SM17 for moderate-to-severe AD completed first patient dosing in mainland China on 31 March 2026. The trial plans to enroll approximately 210 participants, with full enrollment expected in the second half of 2026 and topline clinical data slated for release in the first half of 2027. In terms of administration convenience, the Phase I bridging study of SM17 subcutaneous formulation released positive topline results on 25 March 2026. Data from 30 healthy volunteers confirmed the subcutaneous injection route with satisfactory safety and stable pharmacokinetic performance. Only one mild Grade 1 injection site rash was reported, which resolved spontaneously without intervention, and robust absolute bioavailability was validated, laying a solid foundation for the development of more user-friendly subcutaneous dosing regimens. Furthermore, SM17 has successfully expanded its therapeutic indications to IBD. Its Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis was officially approved by China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) on 24 February 2026. Relevant bridging studies were finalized in the same month, paving the way for direct progression to Phase II clinical development. Dr. Leung also highlighted the Company’s innovative early-stage pipeline, including the anti-CGC antibody (a first-in-class humanized anti-γc antibody), which has demonstrated potential in the treatment of autoimmune diseases such as alopecia areata and vitiligo, with an IND submission planned for the fourth quarter of 2026. A novel bispecific antibody targeting RANKL and sclerostin has demonstrated superior efficacy over marketed therapies in preclinical studies for bone-related disorders, and its IND filing is targeted for the first half of 2027. Dr. Leung emphasized that by focusing on innovative and untapped drug targets, SinoMab has built a synergistic product portfolio, striving to deliver safer, more effective and more accessible breakthrough therapies for patients worldwide.Being invited to this LifeArc Translational Science Summit is not only a strong recognition from a respected international institution of SinoMab’s innovative edge and exploratory work in antibody R&D, but also a key opportunity to deepen our global partnerships. Through in-depth exchanges with leading scientists, clinical researchers and senior executives of multinational pharmaceutical companies, SinoMab has further expanded its international academic network and potential partnership channels, laying a solid foundation for future technology in-licensing, co-development, out-licensing and commercialization. Dr. Shui On Leung stated that the Company will remains focused on addressing unmet clinical needs in autoimmune diseases. It will accelerate global multi-center clinical development of core pipeline assets such as SM17, while actively exploring how AI and other new technologies can boost novel target discovery. In addition, drawing on strategic collaborations with institutions like the Sun Yat-sen University Institute of Advanced Studies Hong Kong, SinoMab aims to strengthen its translational capabilities from bench to bedside. Looking ahead, SinoMab will seize the rapid growth opportunities in China’s biotech out-licensing market, stay true to a differentiated global innovation path, and actively pursue diversified collaboration models with global partners, and accelerate the delivery of innovative therapies to patients worldwide, while creating long-term value for shareholders.About SinoMab BioScience LimitedSinoMab BioScience Limited (Stock Code: 03681.HK) is a pioneer in the research and development of first-in-class and potential best-in-class therapeutic antibody drugs, focusing on autoimmune diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and other debilitating diseases, committed to addressing unmet medical needs. SinoMab has consistently focused on developing therapeutic antibodies targeting novel targets and employing innovative mechanisms, aiming to achieve differentiated clinical outcomes in areas where existing therapies have shown limited efficacy. Its rich R&D pipeline includes: SM17, which has demonstrated exceptional anti-pruritic effects, skin clearance rates, and safety profiles in the treatment of AD, with potential applications in asthma and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF); its flagship anti-CD22 antibody, Suciraslimab , which has been clinically validated for efficacy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and is currently undergoing clinical evaluation for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Alzheimer's disease; another innovative anti-CGC (common gamma chain) monoclonal antibody, which is preparing to enter clinical studies for the treatment of alopecia areata and vitiligo; and a bispecific monoclonal antibody developed by SinoMab that simultaneously stimulates bone growth and inhibits bone loss for the treatment of osteoporosis.

Benefiting from a significant rise in public health awareness in the post-pandemic era, it has continued to accelerate its market expansion. In particular, Hong Kong, as a strategic growth market for the Company, is expected to reach the milestone of 50 clubs by the end of the year. A further 25 clubs have already secured funding, with potential to open an additional 30 to 40 clubs over the next few years. Meanwhile, the Company projects that its total number of clubs across the Asia-Pacific region will reach 2,500 to 3,000 over the next two to three years, underscoring its long-term commitment to and confidence in the regional market.A Truly Global Brand, Powered by Regional ExpertiseAnytime Fitness operates as a truly global brand, with a presence across 42 countries and territories on all seven continents, offering members seamless access to clubs worldwide. Unlike competitors that are merely international, Anytime Fitness delivers a globally connected fitness ecosystem, combining scale, consistency, and member-centric innovation.In Asia-Pacific, growth is led by Inspire Brands Asia (“IBA”), the master franchisee for Anytime Fitness across key markets including Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan, and Malaysia. This structure enables strong regional execution while maintaining global brand standards.Community-Based Approach: Replicating Singapore’s Success in Hong KongThe core philosophy of Anytime Fitness is to bring fitness services into the community and provide a convenient, stress-free workout experience — a model that has proven successful worldwide. Ryan Cheal, Group Chief Operating Officer of IBA, said: “As a highly mature market in the region, we’ve sold around 200 franchises and operate more than 160 clubs in Singapore. Its market penetration and consumer patterns have provided a clear blueprint for our expansion in Hong Kong. With a similar market profile but a larger population base, Hong Kong offers substantial potential for community-based development. We are confident that we can replicate the success achieved in Singapore, and expect that once Hong Kong surpasses the critical milestone of 50 clubs, network effects will drive even faster growth.”Franchising Drives Scalable Expansion with End-to-End Support for PartnersIn terms of its operating model, Anytime Fitness operates a hybrid model of corporate-owned and franchised clubs. Currently, around 50% of clubs in Hong Kong are corporate-owned, enabling the brand to gain deep insights into the local market and provide more effective support to franchise partners. In contrast, the proportion of corporate-owned clubs in Singapore stands at around 20%. This structure ensures that the Company can maintain high service standards and brand consistency while expanding rapidly.The Company’s franchise ecosystem offers end-to-end support, including:- Site selection and club development; - Equipment and operational setup; - Marketing and member acquisition; - Training and business coaching for franchise partners. This integrated approach ensures consistency in member experience while enabling rapid and sustainable expansion. At present, around 80% of new clubs are opened by existing franchisees. Investors from sectors such as retail and F&B are also increasingly shifting their investments towards the health industry, demonstrating the model’s strong appeal and the market’s recognition of its growth potential.Tech-Powered Member Experience: Building a Comprehensive Health EcosystemIn response to the trend of intelligent transformation, Anytime Fitness is actively leveraging technology to enhance service value. To enhance member experience, Anytime Fitness continues to invest in technology and personalised wellness solutions. Its next-generation member app integrates:- Personalised training plans; - Class and trainer bookings;- Recovery guidance and nutrition support.The ecosystem is further supported by tools such as Evolt, a body composition analysis system capable of measuring over 40 biometric indicators, giving members deeper insight into their health and fitness progress. Currently, the app’s average daily member usage rate is around 30% to 35%, effectively strengthening user engagement and retention.Understanding the Hong Kong Member: Strength, Wellness, and LifestyleRecent member insights highlight evolving fitness priorities in Hong Kong:- 57% of members (3 in 5) prioritise strength training; - 16% (1 in 6) are driven by broader wellness goals, including mental health and overall lifestyle improvement. These trends reflect a structural shift in consumer behaviour, where fitness is no longer discretionary, but an essential part of modern living.Focusing on “Essential Health Needs” and “Human-Centered Connection”, with a Stable and Positive Industry OutlookDespite the complex macroeconomic environment, the Company remains optimistic about the outlook for the industry. Ryan noted that the fitness population is continuing to grow, with participation among seniors steadily increasing and health awareness rising. Consumer spending priorities are also undergoing a structural shift, with health and fitness having evolved from “discretionary spending” to “essential lifestyle”. Notably, younger demographics have shown a particularly strong willingness to invest in health, wellness, and longevity, providing the industry with resilience that transcends economic cycles.Looking ahead, Anytime Fitness will continue to innovate its products and services. It launched a new club design last month, enhancing the strength training and exercise recovery areas, and plans to further improve its nutrition guidance services next year. Ryan concluded, “In this technology-driven era, the Company will continue to uphold the core value of ‘human-centered connection’, using convenient, friendly, and professional services to help more people establish consistent exercise habits and embrace a healthier lifestyle. We are confident in the Asia-Pacific and Hong Kong markets and believe that future growth will be even faster and more innovative.”About Anytime FitnessAnytime Fitness is the largest and fastest-growing global fitness brands in the world, averaging 300 new clubs per year while serving over 5 million members at nearly 6,000 clubs in 42 countries and territories on all seven continents.

("CANEX") (TSXV:CANX) and Gold Basin Resources Corporation ("Gold Basin") (TSXV:GXX) are pleased to announce that they have entered into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") to combine their respective businesses by way of a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement"). The combined company will be managed by the CANEX executive team.Under the terms of the Arrangement, shareholders of Gold Basin ("Gold Basin Shareholders") will receive 0.592 shares of CANEX ("CANEX Shares") per share of Gold Basin ("Shares") held, the same consideration received by Gold Basin Shareholders who tendered to the CANEX offer to acquire Shares which expired on February 10, 2026. This represents a premium of 242.0% to the last trading price of the Shares prior to the Cease Trade Order, based on the closing price of the CANEX Shares as of May 8, 2026.Dr. Shane Ebert, President and CEO of CANEX stated: "Today's announcement of an agreement to combine the two companies will allow us to consolidate and advance a promising gold district in Arizona. CANEX will be pleased to welcome Gold Basin Shareholders as new shareholders of CANEX."Jordan Ross, independent director and Chair of the Gold Basin Special Committee, commented: "The Arrangement Agreement represents a strategic milestone for our shareholders. By partnering with CANEX, we are unlocking the full potential of our Arizona project while providing a stable, clear-cut path forward that resolves previous liquidity and regulatory challenges. Following a rigorous review with our professional advisors, we are confident this agreement offers the most robust and value-driven future for our investors."Benefits to Gold Basin ShareholdersSignificant Upfront Premium to Shareholders. The consideration offered under the Arrangement represents a 242.0% premium to the last trading price of the Shares prior to the Cease Trade Order, based on the closing price of the CANEX Shares as of May 8, 2026.Consolidation of Gold Districts and Near-Term Exploration and Expansion. The Arrangement will consolidate an advanced oxide gold exploration camp in Mohave County, Arizona hosting multiple zones of gold mineralization with strong drill results across an eight kilometre by eight kilometre area, opening up potential near-term exploration on favourable targets.Diversification. Completing the Arrangement will provide Gold Basin Shareholders not only with exposure to a consolidated gold district in Mohave County, Arizona, but also to CANEX's Louise Project in British Columbia. On July 31, 2025, CANEX announced results from an induced polarization geophysical survey which identified a new and previously unknown chargeability target two kilometres west of the historic Louise deposit and a large steeply dipping zone of high chargeability below and to the north of the historic Louise deposit.Focused, Professional and Cost-Effective Management Team. The Arrangement places the consolidated district under CANEX's highly focused, professional and cost-effective management team, which will provide strong operational and governance oversight.Experienced Board of Directors. Following the Arrangement, the Resulting Issuer's board of directors will be led by experienced industry professionals, comprised of members of the current board of directors of CANEX.Liquidity. The Arrangement will provide Gold Basin Shareholders with a more liquid investment.

MUMBAI, INDIA, May 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - CleverTap, the all-in-one customer engagement platform, has won Silver at the Thailand MarTech Awards 2026 in the Impact MarTech category, in partnership with Rabbit Rewards, the loyalty and lifestyle platform for Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain and a widely used commuter ecosystem in Southeast Asia.The recognition highlights how CleverTap and Rabbit Rewards have transformed customer engagement by building a real-time, agentic engagement model powered by autonomous decisioning, designed to serve millions of commuters in a high-frequency environment.Rabbit Rewards operates at the intersection of daily commuting, payments, and lifestyle services, where user behavior shifts constantly based on routine, timing, and location. Traditional campaign-led approaches, built on static segmentation and fixed schedules, were unable to keep pace and often resulted in delayed or irrelevant engagement.To address this, Rabbit Rewards partnered with CleverTap to implement a real-time decisioning layer that continuously interprets live behavior and determines the next best action for each user.With CleverAI™, and its suite of tools — including IntelliNODE and Best Time Optimization among others — Rabbit Rewards deployed trigger-based, omnichannel journeys across push notifications, in-app messaging, email, and SMS. These journeys span onboarding, renewals, promotions, and re-engagement, and adapt continuously to commuter behavior.The shift to real-time, behavior-led engagement delivered clear, measurable outcomes:85% uplift in click-through rates (CTR)62.6% week-4 repeat transactions among engaged users, compared to 18.7% for non-engaged users2.4% of total transactions directly influenced by CleverTap-powered engagementBeyond these results, Rabbit Rewards significantly improved the quality of customer engagement. Communication became more timely, contextual, and aligned with commuter needs, strengthening trust and positioning the platform as a more intuitive, lifestyle-oriented companion for daily users.“Our vision has always been to make everyday commuting more seamless, rewarding, and relevant for our users. Through our partnership with CleverTap, we have successfully transitioned from traditional campaign execution to a real-time engagement model that understands and responds to commuter behavior in the moment.CleverAI™ has enabled us to deliver more personalized and timely experiences at scale, strengthening both customer engagement and long-term loyalty. This collaboration goes beyond technology — it is about ensuring Rabbit Rewards shows up for our members in ways that feel personal, timely, and genuinely useful throughout their daily journeys,” said Kamolwan Korphaisarn, Program Director, Rabbit Rewards“Enterprises today sit on a surplus of data, but turning those data points into timely, meaningful action remains a big challenge. With CleverAI™, we’re enabling brands to move beyond static campaigns to intelligent systems that continuously interpret behavior, determine the next best action, and deliver truly personalized experiences in real time. Our work with Rabbit Rewards shows how this approach drives stronger engagement while enabling seamless, context-aware customer journeys at the scale of the individual,” said Anand Jain, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer, CleverTap.About Rabbit RewardsRabbit Rewards is Thailand’s leading loyalty and lifestyle platform built around Bangkok’s BTS Skytrain ecosystem, one of Southeast Asia’s busiest urban transit networks serving millions of daily commuters.The platform connects commuting, payments, and everyday lifestyle experiences into a single ecosystem, enabling members to access rewards, offers, and partner benefits across Bangkok.As part of BTS Group Holdings, Rabbit Rewards serves a diverse member base ranging from daily riders and students to tourists and lifestyle-focused members, making it a deeply embedded companion in Bangkok’s urban lifestyle.Rabbit Rewards continues to evolve its customer engagement capabilities to deliver more contextual, real-time experiences that align with the rhythm of everyday commuting and lifestyle needs.For more information, visit rabbitrewards.co.thAbout CleverTapCleverTap is the world’s leading AI-first, all-in-one customer engagement and retention platform, helping brands turn data into lasting customer relationships.

HONG KONG, May 12, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - May 11, 2026, Gold Peak Technology Group Limited (SEHK: 40) completed a syndicated green and sustainability-linked loan facility (the “GSLL Facility”) of HK$675 million with 10 major banks. With Hang Seng Bank Limited as the mandated lead arranger and bookrunner, Shanghai Commercial Bank Limited is the mandated lead arranger and Malayan Banking Berhad the lead arranger. Other arrangers include Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Ltd. Hong Kong Branch; Bank of Dongguan International Limited; China Zheshang Bank Co., Ltd. Hong Kong Branch; Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Ltd. Hong Kong Branch; Taiwan Shin Kong Commercial Bank Co., Ltd., Hong Kong Branch; First Commercial Bank, Ltd., Macau Branch; and Hua Nan Commercial Bank, Ltd., Offshore Banking Branch.Notwithstanding the challenging global environment, this HK$675 million GSLL Facility underscores strong confidence and backing from the banking sector in Gold Peak’s commitment to, and track record of, upholding and advancing Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) principles.Victor Lo, Chairman & Chief Executive of Gold Peak, said, “Gold Peak remains steadfast in its commitment to long-term sustainable development and has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver in this area. The establishment of the GSLL Facility not only validates our strategic direction but also enables us to explore innovative financing options and adopt operational best practices that will drive sustainable business growth.”Dr Brian Li, Vice Chairman and Executive Vice President of Gold Peak, commented, “As a prominent player in the batteries, audio, and electronics industries, Gold Peak is committed to embedding sustainability into every aspect of its operations. We have made solid and measurable progress in advancing our sustainability strategy, reflecting our dedication to responsible corporate citizenship and long-term value creation.”“We champion the use of rechargeable batteries to reduce waste. Our GP Recyko rechargeable range has been met with strong market acceptance, and we are continuously improving our charging efficiency to enable full charging in just one hour, a boost to shifting the consumers’ habit from single-use batteries to rechargeables.”“We continued to reinforce our packaging sustainability efforts by replacing plastic packaging with paper-based alternatives for more than 1,000 GP-branded consumer battery products across Europe. As a result of this initiative, we achieved an annual reduction of 48 tons of plastic and 30 tons of material waste.”GP Energy Tech, the Group’s sustainable energy solutions business, reached a key milestone with the opening of our first Nickel Zinc (NiZn) manufacturing facility in Dongguan, China, in January 2026. This marks an important step toward positioning Gold Peak to develop next- generation NiZn battery solutions, engineered to enhance immediate power performance through high power density, improved recyclability, and non-flammable characteristics.The NiZn batteries are designed to provide reliable, sustainable power for Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems for data centers and other critical infrastructures. Through the GSLL Facility, the Group will receive funding to further advance the NiZn initiative — supporting progress toward a safer and more sustainable future.Gold Peak views sustainability as a crucial value driver for achieving profitable, long-term growth. In FY24/25, it achieved a 4% year on year reduction in Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions compared to FY23/24 baseline year. It remains committed to its interim and long-term reduction targets as follows:- a 20% reduction by 2030 compared to the FY23/24 baseline;- a 60% reduction by 2040; and- the achievement of net-zero operational emissions (i.e., 100% reduction) by 2050.Among many sustainability awards, six of the Group’s battery manufacturing facilities have achieved Zero Waste to Landfill Platinum and Gold validation from UL Solutions, demonstrating its commitment to diverting 95-100% of waste from landfills through effective waste reduction and diversion strategies. Additionally, GP Batteries and GP Energy Tech have gained EcoVadis Bronze medal during FY25/26. The Group is also continuously ramping up the solar panels in factories to realize its decarbonization goals.Regina Lee, Head of Commercial Banking at Hang Seng Bank Limited, said, “This syndicated facility reflects the market’s confidence in Gold Peak’s long-term strategy and sustainability efforts. Hang Seng Bank is honoured to act as sole mandated lead arranger and bookrunner for a green and sustainability-linked loan facility, delivering a structure that incentivises performance against clear sustainability targets and supporting the Group’s continued investment in rechargeable battery manufacturing. Building on our long-standing relationship with Gold Peak, we’ll continue to work closely with the Group to align financing with sustainability outcomes, creating long-term value for stakeholders and the wider community.”The 3-year GSLL Facility features a tiered incentive mechanism that rewards progress toward sustainability targets, with Gold Peak eligible for an interest rate reduction upon achievement.
