HONG KONG, Jun 4, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TF International Securities Group Limited (“TF International”) together with China CITIC Bank International Limited, Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc announced the successful assistance in the Kyrgyz Republic's issuance of a 5-year USD benchmark international bond (represented by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Kyrgyz Republic acting through the Ministry of Finance of the Kyrgyz Republic). Originally targeting an issuance size of approximately USD 500 million, the transaction saw overwhelming market demand during bookbuilding, with peak orders exceeding USD 2.1 billion (including USD 50 million underwriter's order) from over 130 investors. The final issuance size was upsized to USD 700 million with a coupon rate of 7.75%. This fully reflects the global capital market’s strong confidence in the Kyrgyz Republic’s economic development prospects and TF International’s cross-border financing capabilities.Central Asia’s Ice-Breaking Sovereign Bond Debut Pioneers New Cross-Border Financing ParadigmThis landmark transaction marks the first USD bond issuance by a Central Asian sovereign issuer in international capital markets, and represents a milestone for TF International in the field of Central Asian sovereign bond underwriting. By leveraging its global investor network and localized service strengths, TF International together with the other Global Coordinators efficiently managed cross-time-zone bookbuilding and precisely captured the optimal market window. This enabled Kyrgyz Republic’s successful debut in the international USD bond market with oversubscription, laying a solid foundation for the nation to diversify its future financing channels.The bond issuer, the Kyrgyz Republic (rated B+ by S&P, B by Fitch, and B3 by Moody’s), will utilize the proceeds to support its national budget, with a focus on financing hydroelectric power projects and infrastructure projects. The Kyrgyz Republic, as one of the earliest countries to support and engage in the Belt and Road Initiative, has seen increasingly close economic and trade relations with China. TF International signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance earlier, becoming the first Hong Kong-based Chinese securities firm to establish an official partnership with The Kyrgyz Republic Ministry of Finance.Building a Diversified Financial Services Ecosystem for the Belt and Road Initiative from Hong KongMr. Amanbaev Umutzhan Mominovich, Deputy Minister of Finance–Director of the Central Treasury, Ministry of Finance of The Kyrgyz Republic, expressed his gratitude to the Global Coordinators for the efforts and successful closing of this debut transaction. He said: "This is our first step on the international debt capital markets. We are going to maintain our presence and become a frequent issuer for further development of our country’s debt profile and meet the needs of The Kyrgyz Republic economy. This inaugural bond issuance has not only optimized the national debt structure but also raised capital at competitive rates, providing strong support for the nation's critical development projects. The oversubscription of this issuance fully demonstrates the international market's recognition of Kyrgyzstan's economic prospects and sovereign credit. It has laid a solid foundation for the country to continuously attract international capital, deepen financial openness, and integrate into the global economy, representing a crucial step towards financial autonomy and global integration."Mr. Alexander Shupletsov, Head of Emerging Markets Coverage, Belt and Road Business Department at TF International, said: "Moving forward, TF International will continue to serve as a strategic bridge, deepening capital connectivity with countries and regions along the Belt and Road. Through diversified financial services, we will promote funding facilitation and advance the sustainable development of Hong Kong as an international capital market. I would like to emphasize the importance of Hong Kong as the funding hub for Belt and Road countries. In addition to The London Stock Exchange listing, the bonds are also listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong(the first sovereign bond from Central Asia listed at HKEX). It would allow The Kyrgyz Republic to strengthen its recognition among Chinese and Asian investors. This milestone transaction was a very big step for The Kyrgyz Republic to diversify their sources of funding, build up its debt profile and create the country’s yield curve as a funding benchmark.”Embodying the SCO Spirit: A New Chapter in Regional Economic Cooperation and Sustainable DevelopmentAs the second China-Central Asia Summit approaches and the SCO’s “China Year” events gain momentum, The Kyrgyz Republic’s bond issuance marks a concrete step by Chinese financial institutions in supporting regional economic cooperation. It reflects China’s strong commitment to advancing development through financial connectivity and showcases the collaborative spirit between China and SCO member states. By deepening multilateral financial cooperation and promoting resource sharing, The Kyrgyz Republic is accelerating its integration into the global financial system and turning the vision of sustainable growth and shared prosperity into reality.Mr. ZOU Chuan, CEO of TF International, stated: “The successful issuance of this sovereign USD bond by Kyrgyz Republic marks a significant achievement in Belt and Road financial cooperation and a concrete step toward delivering on China’s national strategy and the SCO Year of Sustainable Development for the SCO Summit 2025. The deal strengthens Hong Kong’s role as a global debt financing hub and reflects a growing trend of Belt and Road countries - starting with Central Asia - shifting offshore fundraising to Hong Kong and exploring diversified financing channels. It also signals meaningful progress in the internationalization of the renminbi, as it begins to play a significant role in sovereign balance sheets. Building on this momentum, TF International will continue to leverage Hong Kong’s platform to connect the Belt and Road countries with global capital, supporting infrastructure and green development through market-based solutions, and contribute to high-level opening-up by advancing sovereign and strategic project financing.”TF International Securities Group LimitedTF International Securities Group Limited (TF International) is a Hong Kong-based subsidiary fully owned by TF Securities Co., Ltd (TFS).

NEW YORK, May 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In proprietary trading, success is often measured in percentages and profit curves. But behind every chart is a human being, and according to Hola Prime, one of the fastest-growing prop firms globally, that human element is the most overlooked edge in trading.To address this critical gap, Hola Prime has launched a new Performance Coaching Initiative, bringing psychological resilience, discipline, and emotional intelligence to the forefront of trader development. The firm has onboarded two accomplished professionals - Lara Leon and Stanislava Puac Jovanovic - and aims to solve what the firm calls "the #1 barrier to consistent trader performance: the mind.""We've funded traders all around the globe, and the pattern is clear - strategy alone doesn't make you consistent. Psychology does," said Somesh Kapuria, CEO of Hola Prime. "Our Performance Coaching Initiative is built to tackle that challenge head-on."Prop firms often compete on speed, funding, and payouts. But Hola Prime is betting that the next evolution of trading support won't be just financial - it will be behavioral.Whether it's FOMO, overtrading, revenge trading, or the inability to recover after a loss, psychological missteps are responsible for more failed trading careers than poor technical knowledge. Despite this, few firms invest in helping traders build emotional resilience, daily structure, and self-awareness.Hola Prime's new program is designed to fill that void, offering one-on-one performance coaching, guided psychological routines, and mindset-focused support for its funded traders. The goal is not short-term motivation, but long-term, measurable consistency.Globally Renowned Performance CoachesTo drive the initiative, Hola Prime has onboarded:Lara Leon, a performance coach with over a decade of experience in psychology and active trading. A psychotherapist by training and a trader by passion, Lara blends cognitive insight with technical market expertise - covering order flow, volume profiles, and multi-timeframe analysis. Her coaching focuses on building internal discipline, trade journaling, and walking through emotional pitfalls with clarity and structure.Stanislava Puac Jovanovic, a psychologist and life coach with over 15 years of experience across education, coaching, and systemic psychotherapy. Certified in CBT, REBT, assertive communication, mindfulness, and NLP, she brings a holistic understanding of emotional regulation, stress management, and performance psychology - tools essential for thriving in high-pressure trading environments.Both coaches will offer traders structured frameworks to improve risk management, build sustainable habits, and enhance decision-making under stress.This initiative marks a shift in how prop firms support their traders - not just with capital, but with cognitive and emotional infrastructure.For Hola Prime, performance coaching is not an add-on - it's a foundational investment in trader longevity. At a time when retail traders face increased market volatility, higher expectations, and rapid information flow, support is more essential than ever."The future of prop trading belongs to firms that understand one truth," said Kapuria. "The edge isn't just in the market. It's in the mind."Social LinksInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/holaprime_global/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtVEJa1Ml132Be7tnk-DjeQ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/hola-prime/?viewAsMember=true X: https://x.com/HolaPrimeGlobal Discord: https://discord.gg/TJ7TcHPXBf Quora: https://www.quora.com/profile/HolaPrime/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/HolaPrime/ Medium: https://medium.com/@social_46267 Media ContactCompany: Hola PrimeContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://holaprime.com/SOURCE: Hola Prime Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The Company reported a jump in their revenue to RM75.1 million, on par with the preceding year-on-year revenue levels, supported by the delivery of outstanding and new orders across its core client base. Gross Profit (“GP”) for the quarter came in at RM8.7 million with both profit before tax (“PBT”) and profit after tax (“PAT”) at RM3.2 million, and profit after tax and minority interests (“PATAMI”) at RM0.8 million. GP, PBT, PAT, and PATAMI margins stood at 11.6%, 4.3%, 4.3% and 1.1% respectively.While the Q3FY2025 revenue marked a return to revenue levels previously seen in FY2024, profit margins and PAT for the quarter fell compared with the previous quarter’s PAT of RM6.3 million. The Company noted that this was due to several deliveries in the quarter involving new scopes which involved one-off, non-recurring expenses. Genetec expects margin to normalise in upcoming quarters.Managing Director and Co-founder of Genetec, Chin Kem Weng commented, “Our top-line performance reflects a pickup in project execution and a healthy pipeline on the back of our ongoing client engagement. The margin dip this quarter is temporary, contributed by one-off expenses tied to the new project scopes and are not recurring. As such, we are confident that we will see a recovery in the margins in the coming quarters as project maturity and margin discipline for the new scopes improve. Genetec’s focus remains on deepening our partnerships with clients in key sectors like electric vehicle (“EV”), automotives, and energy storage, while we continue to seek meaningful diversification.”Amid the ongoing shifts in global trade dynamics and supply chain strategies, Genetec sees structural tailwinds supporting its growth trajectory. As manufacturers reassess production footprints and strengthen operational resilience, there is an upward demand for flexible, cost-competitive and reliable high-quality automation solutions. Genetec’s Malaysia-based production model, combined with a proven international track record, deep technical expertise, and agile manufacturing capabilities, positions the Company well to support clients adapting to these changes.The Company remains focused on deepening its engagement with existing customers while exploring opportunities to broaden its client base. In addition to pursuing new scopes within existing clients’ operations, Genetec has actively participated in several international exhibitions and industry events in recent months, which have generated encouraging business leads. These engagements mark early steps toward potential entry into new industries and segments, in line with the Company’s longer-term strategy to diversify and grow.Genetec is also actively managing its current production load while progressing its EPIC plant expansion, scheduled for completion in early 2026. The new facility will significantly increase floor space and technical capabilities, supporting Genetec’s ability to deliver on multiple high-value projects simultaneously.“We remain focused on timely order execution, quality and cost control, and supporting our clients in a rapidly evolving industrial and technological environment. With steady project momentum, a growing base of client engagements, and strategic expansion into new sectors, we are cautiously optimistic about the road ahead. We believe Genetec is well-positioned to build on this foundation for long-term growth,” Chin concluded.With ongoing execution across key client projects and growing interest from new industries, Genetec continues to position itself as a trusted global partner in automation.About Genetec Technology BerhadGenetec Technology Berhad is a public listed company on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (Stock code: 0104) and a global leader in providing customised, turnkey smart factory automation solutions.

Key Highlights- Clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of YK012 in primary membranous nephropathy- Globally, this is the first bispecific CD19-directed CD3 T cell engager immunotherapy for this autoimmune disease- Milder T cell activation than Blincyto and Target cell-dependent T cell activation- Multiple CR cases observed in ongoing r/r NHL Phase Ia trial and r/r ALL Phase Ib/II trialHONG KONG, May 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Excyte, a global clinical-stage biotechnology company, announced first patient has been dosed for YK012, the world’s first patient T cell engager that entered into clinical trial for primary membranous nephropathy (pMN). The patient remained well after administration with no adverse reactions witnessed to date.pMN is an autoimmune disease caused by the attack of autoantibodies against podocyte antigens leading to the in situ production of immune complexes. pMN is the most common cause of primary nephrotic syndrome in non-diabetic adults worldwide, accounting for 20% to 37% of affected individuals, and as high as 40% in adults over 60 years of age (1). Currently, 20-30% of pMN cases are resistant to current therapies like rituximab and cyclophosphamide and relapse rates can be high (2).A clear regulatory pathway in this orphan disease in US could make YK012 one of the first approved TCE in the autoimmune space with many other autoimmune and oncology indications to follow. Excyte would file for US investigational new drug (IND) application imminently.The study aims to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of YK012 in PMN patients. Led by Professor Minghui Zhao and Prof Zhao Cui from Peking University First Hospital, the trial is planned to be conducted across multiple centers in China. The clinical trial for this indication in the United States will be collaboratively executed by Excyte and its international partners.“YK012 is a T-cell engaging bispecific antibody targeting both CD19 and CD3, activating T-cell immunity via CD3 while targeting CD19—the most widely expressed tissue-specific marker during B-cell development and thereby enabling B-cell reset. Our data illustrated YK012 mediated significant B cell depletion and have illustrated in current clinical studies extended half-life and limited cytokine release in patients,” said Mr. Andrew Meng, chairman and COO at Excyte. “We look forward to collaborating with regulatory authorities to make YK012 available to this patient population with a high unmet medical need."In December 2024, YK012 obtained Clinical Trial Approval Notice (No. CXSL2400727) from China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) and was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06982729). With the first patient dosed in pMN, Excyte now has a global presence in autoimmune diseases in additional to oncology indications such as NHL and ALL. Earlier this year, Excyte also secured clinical trial approval for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), with Professor Xiaofeng Zeng from Peking Union Medical College Hospital serving as Principal Investigator.About Excyte Biopharma Ltd.Excyte Ltd. was co-founded by Dr Qing’an Yuan and Mr Andrew Meng , biotech industry veterans with decades of antibody engineering experiences. The company has also established a U.S.-based wholly-owned subsidiary, Excyte LLC, forming a dual-engine drug R&D hub spanning China and the U.S. Excyte is dedicated to developing innovative bispecific antibody drugs for hematologic cancers, multiple myeloma, solid tumors, autoimmune diseases, and other conditions.
