MIAMI BEACH, FL, May 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A strategic alliance targeting the $110 billion women-led SME financing gap across Sub-Saharan Africa, deploying tokenized credit, sovereign identity, and AI-driven underwriting to unlock the century's most significant demographic dividend.$16T - Tokenized RWA Market by 2030 · BCG / 21Shares$110B - Women-Led SME Financing Gap · Sub-Saharan Africa4B - Africa's Projected Population by 2100 · UN DESA19 - Africa's Median Age · World's Youngest Continent01. THE OPPORTUNITY The Century's Most Significant Capital Formation EventGlobal structured finance engineered a $12 trillion market serving a North American population of 250 million over the last four decades. Africa home to 1.4 billion people today, set to reach 2.5 billion by 2050 and 4 billion by 2100, represents a capital formation opportunity of incomparably greater magnitude. With a median age of just 19 years, the continent holds the most youthful, fastest-growing workforce in human history.The bottleneck is not ambition, it is credit infrastructure. Of the $330 billion annual demand for SME financing in Sub-Saharan Africa, women entrepreneurs represent one-third — approximately $110 billion that remains entirely underserved by conventional financial institutions. The IFC estimates that 70% of women-owned SMEs in developing economies are either unserved or underserved by formal credit markets, a structural gap that Weritas and Skylean Capital are engineered to close.$330B - Annual SME Credit Demand · Sub-Saharan Africa Of which $110B is women-led — structurally excluded from conventional underwriting due to absent credit history, lack of collateral, and institutional bias.70% - Women-Owned SMEs Unserved by Formal Credit · IFC Across 128 developing economies, the financing gap for women-owned SMEs totals over $1.7 trillion globally, with Sub-Saharan Africa the highest-density opportunity.$832B - Mobile Money Transactions · Africa 2022 · GSMA Africa processes over 70% of the world's mobile money volume. The payment rails exist. The missing layer is structured credit and sovereign identity.$65B - African Fintech Revenue Projected 2030 · McKinsey Sub-Saharan Africa's fintech sector forecast to grow at 10% CAGR through 2030 - faster than any other region globally."The math of the future is being written in Africa. We saw how structured finance created a $12 trillion market for a North American population of 250 million. Now apply that same financial engineering to a continent of 1.4 billion people, growing to 2.5 billion by 2050 and 4 billion by 2100. We are looking at the biggest capital formation opportunity of our century - and the unlock is solving credit for the women who already drive one-third of the $330 billion demand," said Skyler Zhang, CEO, Skylean Capital · Consensus 2026, Miami Beach.02. THE PROTOCOL Web5 Sovereign Intelligence: Identity as InfrastructureThe Weritas protocol is built on Web5 principles — a decentralized identity model that returns ownership of data to the individual, ensuring that as Africa's 1.4 billion citizens enter the global economy, they do so as sovereign data subjects, not data-extracted users. By fusing Web5 decentralized identifiers (DIDs) with AI-driven credit intelligence, Weritas transforms what has historically been called "thin-file risk" into a precision-underwritten credit opportunity.The platform aggregates transactional, behavioral, and psychometric data - with full user consent - through its Credit Intelligence Layer, enabling lenders and institutional capital allocators to underwrite borrowers who have never held a bank account or formal credit product. The Group works with regulated lending partners in East Africa, providing the live loan book that powers the Group's Tokenized Private Credit Program: a tri-tranche tokenized ABS backed by regulated payroll-deducted SME loan portfolios, issued through an internationally domiciled special purpose vehicle."Infrastructure like Ondo's has proven the pipes work for ETFs — but the Weritas protocol is built for the complexity of global credit and human identity. By adopting Web5 principles, we ensure that identity is plural and data is sovereign. When a woman entrepreneur in Nairobi owns her data and our AI verifies her reliability, the risk for global institutions evaporates. That is how we unlock the $110 billion," said Reshmeen Hooda, Chair, Weritas · Consensus 2026, Miami Beach.The protocol's native utility token underpins ecosystem participation, staking, governance, and access to the credit network.03. THE MARKET Institutional Capital Is Already MovingThe tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market which crossed $12 billion in 2024 — is projected by Boston Consulting Group and 21Shares to reach $16 trillion by 2030, representing the single largest asset migration in financial history. BlackRock's BUIDL fund, Franklin Templeton's FOBXX, and Ondo Finance's OUSG have established that institutional appetite for on-chain yield is structural, not speculative.The Weritas/Skylean alliance brings this institutional momentum to bear on the only asset class that combines demographic inevitability with structural underpricing: African frontier credit. With the Group's tokenized credit program structured as a fully regulated, multi-jurisdictional instrument, institutional investors in Toronto, Dubai, Tokyo, and Miami now have a live entry corridor into African private credit for the first time.$16T - Projected Tokenized RWA Market · 2030 · BCG / 21Shares$1.7T - Global Women-Owned SME Financing Gap · IFC / World Bank60% - Global Unbanked Population Located in Africa · World Bank Findex3× - Women's Reinvestment Multiplier · UNDP / Gates Foundation04. BEYOND FINANCE Sovereign Intelligence: The Universal Ledger for Human CapitalThe implications of the Weritas Sovereign Intelligence layer extend well beyond loan books. Because the Web5 architecture grants individuals true ownership and portability of their data, the same protocol stack that underwrites an SME loan in Nairobi can serve as a universal ledger for human capital across healthcare, education, and global mobility.For a continent where 600 million people lack reliable identity documentation (World Bank, 2024), Weritas's DID-anchored sovereign identity infrastructure solves a foundational problem that credit alone cannot address. A woman entrepreneur who today has no credit file, no passport, and no formal employment history can, through the Weritas protocol, construct a verifiable, portable, AI-enriched human identity, one that travels with her as she accesses finance, healthcare, education, and cross-border markets.About Skylean CapitalSkylean Capital is a boutique, women-led venture capital and private equity firm led by CEO Skyler Zhang, specialising in the intersection of traditional structured finance and the decentralised frontier of emerging markets.About WeritasWeritas is a women-led, Web5-enabled real-world asset protocol providing sovereign identity and credit intelligence infrastructure for global structured finance. Chaired by Reshmeen Hooda, Weritas operates across multiple regulated technology and financial entities spanning North America, international financial centres, and East Africa.Media & Investor Contacts:Skylean Capital: press@skyleancapital.comWeritas: partners@weritas.io · weritas.io Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Vancouver, BC, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Gold Basin Resources Corporation ("Gold Basin" or the "Company") (TSX.V:GXX) alerts the market that the purported joint venture between Gold Basin and Helix Resources Limited ("Helix") (HLX) (the "Invalid Helix Joint Venture") announced by Helix in its ASX Announcement on April 29, 2026 (the "Helix Announcement") is not valid and has no standing. Accordingly, it is the Company's opinion that Helix has no interest or rights in the Gold Basin Property.The Invalid Helix Joint Venture was approved and signed by Gold Basin's prior management contrary to a court order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued by Justice Baker on February 2, 2026, restraining Gold Basin from selling, transferring, disposing of, leasing, or encumbering any property of Gold Basin. Furthermore, the Invalid Helix Joint Venture did not receive the required approval of the TSXV and the Company is of the view that the Invalid Helix Joint Venture did not disclose the required Canadian related party transaction disclosures including Kevin Lynn being a director of Helix and a director of Gold Basin Resources (Australia) Pty Ltd., and constituted an improper defensive tactic in response to the announcement of an unsolicited offer by Mayfair Acquisition Corp. to acquire Gold Basin in contravention of National Policy 62-202 - Take-Over Bids - Defensive Tactics.Accordingly, for the above noted reasons, it is the Company's position that no valid joint venture has been formed between Helix and the Company.The Company provides further particulars below with respect to the Invalid Helix Joint Venture and the Helix Announcement which the Company believes shareholders should be made aware of in considering the propriety of the Invalid Helix Joint Venture.Kevin Lynn, a director of Helix was also a director and secretary of Gold Basin Resources (Australia) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Gold Basin, this was not publicly disclosed by Gold Basin to the market.The purported "Initial Binding Letter JV offer" dated November 12th, 2024 and issued by Helix was on Helix letterhead and was signed by Michael Povey as Chair of Helix. The agreement is dated 52 days before Mr. Povey became a director of Helix on January 3, 2025, and 18 days after Mr. Povey resigned from the board of Gold Basin, and while he was still an advisor to Gold Basin. Mr. Povey falsely claimed to be the Chair of Helix in the November 12th, 2024, document.On March 27, 2025, Helix Resources announced a deal to purchase the White Hills project from companies owned by Charles Straw (Gold Basin's CEO at the time) and Gold Basin's former Consulting Geologist and Project Manager Calvin Heron, a deal which granted the vendors cash consideration and a right to become a material shareholder in Helix Resources.Mr. Straw was appointed as President of Gold Basin on March 19, 2021. It is not clear when Mr. Straw acquired the White Hills project, but Gold Basin referenced this project in a November 2022 press release as containing exploration targets of interest to Gold Basin. Mr. Straw acquired a State lease on a portion of the White Hills project in early 2023 referred to as "Section 2". This acquisition appears to have violated the non-competition and area of influence provisions in Mr. Straw's consulting agreement with Gold Basin and would therefore be in breach of his fiduciary duty to Gold Basin.A little over a month following the announcement of the transaction between Mr. Straw and Helix, Gold Basin issued a press release announcing that Helix, the very Company that Mr. Straw, Gold Basin's CEO had agreed to sell properties to, had purportedly entered into an earn in agreement with Gold Basin to acquire a 40% interest and a 1% net smelter royalty in the Gold Basin Project.Mr. Povey, a close business associate of Mr. Straw (Mr. Povey and Mr. Straw were recently subject to an action in the Supreme Court of Australia by the liquidator of Ochre Group) and a former CEO and director of Gold Basin, was an advisor to Gold Basin and was Chair of Helix at all material times with respect to the negotiation of the Invalid Helix Joint Venture, except for the November 12, 2024 agreement when Mr. Povey represented he was the Chair of Helix but was not.In the Helix Announcement, Helix states as of 30th April 2026 it has no disputes or litigation recorded against it. This statement is not factual. On October 28, 2025, Gold Basin shareholders filed a petition to set aside the Invalid Helix Joint Venture with Gold Basin in the Supreme Court of British Columbia naming Gold Basin and Helix as respondents. The petition outlines the undisclosed related party nature of the purported transaction, the absence of proper approvals, the unfair and unreasonable terms, an improper defensive tactic to a take over proposal, and other breaches of procedures and policies.The Company has reserved all of its rights against the former directors of the Company and has initiated the appropriate steps to file appropriate proceedings to recover from them, personally, any losses the Company alleges it has suffered, and may continue to suffer, as a result of their actions The Company's controlling shareholder, CANEX Metals Inc., has advised that it intends to seek contempt orders against each of the former directors of the Company personally for any breach of the restraining orders issued by the Supreme Court of British Columbia preventing former directors from impairing the value of Gold Basin or its Arizona property.About Gold Basin Resources CorporationGold Basin Resources Corporation holds the 42 km2 Gold Basin Project in Mohave County Arizona. The project hosts large mineralized trends containing near surface oxide gold mineralization and has seen over 800 historic and current drill holes into mineralized deposits up to 1.7 kilometres in length.On Behalf of the Board of Directors"Shane Ebert"Shane Ebert, President, Chief Executive Officer and DirectorFor Further Information Contact:Shane Ebert at 1.250.964.2699info@goldbasinresources.caNeither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its regulation services provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.Forward-Looking StatementsExcept for the historical and present factual information contained herein, the matters set forth in this news release, including words such as "will", "intends", "may" and similar expressions, are forward-looking information that represents Gold Basin Resources Corporation's expectations or beliefs concerning, among other things: whether CANEX Metals Inc. will obtain a contempt order against the former directors of the Company; whether the Petition will be successful in setting aside the agreement with Helix; whether steps or proceedings against the former directors of the Company will recover losses the Company alleges it has suffered, and may continue to suffer, and recover the gains the Company alleges its former directors may have benefited from; and whether the new board will be able to address the current state of the Company and create value for stakeholders.

Phase 1 construction is being self-funded by the Company, reflecting Digi Power X's financial commitment to the Columbiana campus and its confidence in the long-term value of this partnership."This deal is a statement. Closing a contract of this magnitude with one of the prominent emerging companies of the AI era signals Digi Power X is a serious player operating at the highest level. This is the kind of landmark transaction that we believe will open the door to additional sophisticated tenants, lenders, and partners."- Alec Amar, President, Digi Power X Inc."The buildout of high-density AI infrastructure is one of the defining challenges of our generation, on the scale of the rollout of 4G and 5G that transformed global connectivity.

Brisbane, Australia, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) ("Adyton" or the "Company") is pleased to report the discovery of a new high-grade gold zone within the existing resource, from its 2025 infill drill program at the Gameta Gold development Project (50/50 JV), located on Fergusson Island in Papua New Guinea (PNG).The 2025 program included 4201 meters of largely infill drilling for a total of 36 diamond core holes. Drilling focused on areas within the existing deposit to better define and expand known mineralization. Prior to this drilling, the Gameta Project's Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) contained approximately 4.0 million tonnes (Mt) @ 1.33 g/t Au for 173 koz gold (indicated), and 10.5 Mt @ 1.01 g/t Au for 340 koz gold (inferred), within a conceptual open-pit shell.Hole GMDH009 returned 28.56 g/t Au over 12.0m starting from 146m downhole. This is the highest-grade intercept ever recorded by Adyton to date and highlights the presence of high-grade zones within the broader deposit. This result, along with other strong intercepts reported in this release, demonstrates the potential to enhance the overall grade of the planned open- pit at Gameta. These higher-grade zones could positively impact the upcoming Feasibility Study being advanced by Adyton and its JV partner EVIH.KEY HIGHLIGHTS Final assays from the 2025 infill drill program highlight the presence of locally high-grade zones at Gameta including the project's best intercept to date of 12m @28.56 g/t Au returning 342 g-m.Significant intercepts include:GMDH009 12m @ 28.56g/t Au from 146 m downholeGMDH008 13m @ 3.84g/t Au from 98 m downholeGMDH021 16m @ 2.2.07g/t Au from 51 m downholeGMDH010 6m @ 2.69g/t Au from 114 m downholeGMDH005 13m @ 1.88g/t Au from 49 m downholeGMDH013 13m @1.37g/t Au from 105 m downholeGMDH005 14m @1.05 g/t Au from 94 m downholeSeveral holes also intersected near surface mineralization with solid grades including hole GMDH001 with 9m @ 1.08g/t Au and hole GMDH002 6m @ 1.22g/t Au (see Table 1 below).These infill drill results have exceeded the Company's expectations and are expected to support an updated MRE, with several intersections returning grades above those reflected in the current model. The results may also support the conversion of a significant portion of the inferred resource to the indicated category."I am very pleased with these results, which have exceeded our expectations and highlight the strength of the Gameta Project," said Tim Crossley, Adyton CEO. "The project combines solid grades, near surface mineralisation, and favourable logistics, including access for barge transport to support envisioned development and concentrate shipment to end markets. We are now focused on advancing Gameta alongside the Wapolu Project, accelerating toward feasibility and permitting, with the goal of developing Gameta into a second production asset. Our vision for these projects is to unlock near-term cash flow through a disciplined Direct Ship concentrate strategy, while establishing a scalable foundation for long-term growth and value creation across the portfolio.""We are encouraged by the assay results at Gameta and, together with Adyton, plan to advance the project through MRE finalisation, Feasibility Studies, and permitting. Subject to permitting timelines, we are targeting a potential start of operations in the first half of 2028," said Gary Wang, EVIH CEO.Table 1: SIGNIFICANT INTERCEPTS, Gameta 2025 drilling 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_001full.jpgFigure 1: Map view at Gameta showing 2025 drillhole locations against historical drilling and topographyTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_002full.jpgFigure 2: Cross section looking northwest with significant drilling intercepts reported for GMDH009, GMDH010To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_003full.jpgFigure 3: Cross section looking northwest with significant drilling intercepts reported for GMDH004, GMDH006, GMDH001, GMDH005, GMDH008, GMDH013To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_004full.jpgTable 2 DRILL HOLE SUMMARYTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/7416/295948_dce2c12474fa2a8b_005full.jpgCATALYSTS & OUTLOOK1) Fergusson Island Project (PNG):Focused on advancing the Wapolu and Gameta deposits toward potential production and cash flow.

JAKARTA, May 5, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Indonesia is the most spammed country in the world. In 2025, Truecaller identified 79 percent of all unknown calls in Indonesia as spam or fraud. Chile follows at 70 percent, up from 51 percent in just six months. Vietnam, Brazil, and India round out the top five. The data comes from Truecaller, the leading global platform for verifying contacts and blocking unwanted communication, with over 500 million users globally and over 68 billion spam and fraud calls identified in 2025.Behind each country’s ranking is a different story. In Indonesia and Mexico, over 40 percent of spam calls are identified as financial institutions – banks, lenders, and loan services. In Chile, the dominant category is not sales or scams but debt collection, which accounts for 38 percent of all spam, the highest concentration of any single category in any market globally. In Brazil and Nigeria, calls from Telcos flood the landscape, making it nearly impossible for users to distinguish a genuine carrier message from fraud. These findings point to a broader global shift — as automated spam scales, trust in unknown calls continues to decline."The scale of what this data shows should concern everyone. Fraud, impersonation, and scams are affecting people's daily lives in a way we have never seen before. In some countries, most unknown calls are now spam — that is a fundamental breakdown in how communication works. Our mission is to build trust in communication, and in 2026, we are focused on stopping fraud before it reaches people," said Rishit Jhunjhunwala, CEO of Truecaller.On March 31, 2026, Truecaller crossed 500 million monthly active users, with more than 150 million outside India. The full Spam and Fraud Report, including the complete top 10 ranking and regional breakdown, is available at the Truecaller Insights page.About TruecallerTruecaller is an essential part of everyday communication for 500 million active users worldwide, with more than one billion downloads since launch and 68 billion spam and fraud calls identified in 2025 alone.

SINGAPORE, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Daily shopping in Singapore often goes beyond picking up essentials. From groceries at neighbourhood supermarkets to online orders during festive sales, these routine purchases can become more rewarding when planned well. Many shoppers today explore Rewards Credit Cards as a way to earn cashback, points, or travel perks while managing everyday expenses. When selected based on lifestyle preferences, these cards can help transform routine spending into meaningful benefits without altering regular purchasing habits.Singapore's cost of living means that everyday expenses such as groceries, dining, transport, and digital subscriptions can easily cross SGD 1,200-1,800 monthly for an individual. Choosing a card that aligns with these spending patterns can make it easier to earn steady value across categories that already form part of daily life.Here are five everyday spending categories where Rewards Credit Cards may help you earn cashback or points from purchases you already make, plus one simple tip for getting more value from the rewards you accumulate.1. Turn Grocery Runs into Reward OpportunitiesGrocery shopping forms a significant part of monthly expenses in Singapore, especially with rising food prices. Using Rewards Credit Cards for purchases at supermarkets such as FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Giant can help you earn cashback or reward points on essential spending. If a household spends around SGD 500 monthly on groceries, even a modest 5% cashback rate can return SGD 25 per month, which adds up over time.Some credit cards also partner with grocery retailers to provide exclusive promotions or bonus reward days. Planning grocery purchases during promotional periods can also help maximise benefits while keeping everyday shopping habits unchanged.2. Enjoy Dining and Coffee Breaks with Extra PerksSingapore's vibrant food culture makes dining out a common lifestyle activity. Whether it is hawker meals averaging SGD 6-10 or café visits costing SGD 15-25 per visit, food-related spending can accumulate quickly. Rewards Credit Cards offering dining cashback or restaurant discounts can help make these experiences more enjoyable without increasing overall expenses.Some Credit Cards also provide exclusive dining deals at partner restaurants or offer bonus reward points during weekend dining.3. Make Online Shopping More Cost-EffectiveOnline shopping continues to grow rapidly in Singapore, especially during seasonal sales such as 9.9, 11.11, and 12.12 events. Rewards Credit Cards offering higher cashback or bonus points for online transactions can help shoppers gain extra value during these promotional periods. For example, if monthly online spending averages around SGD 300, cashback benefits ranging from 6% to 10% might generate steady savings.These perks can help enhance the shopping experience while encouraging smarter spending decisions.4. Convert Transport and Ride Expenses into SavingsDaily commuting costs in Singapore, including MRT fares, bus rides, and ride-hailing services, often total SGD 120-200 monthly. Using Rewards Credit Cards that offer cashback or reward points on transport expenses can help turn routine travel into a steady source of savings. Certain cards also offer additional benefits such as fuel discounts or ride-hailing promotions.These features can help individuals who drive or frequently use private transport services enjoy small but consistent savings.5. Earn Rewards While Paying Utility and Subscription BillsMonthly utility bills in Singapore generally range between SGD 120 and 180, while mobile, streaming, and broadband services often cost another SGD 60-120. Paying these recurring bills using Rewards Credit Cards can help accumulate points or cashback without additional effort.Some Credit Cards also provide bonus rewards for recurring transactions, making bill payments more valuable. Over time, these benefits can contribute towards travel redemptions, shopping vouchers, or statement credits.Pro Tip: Turn Reward Points into ExperiencesAfter earning rewards from everyday spending categories, cardholders may choose to redeem them for lifestyle experiences, such as travel bookings, hotel stays, or entertainment passes, instead of using them only for basic discounts. In Singapore, short regional holidays to destinations like Bangkok or Bali often cost between SGD 350 and SGD 800, and accumulated reward points may help reduce these expenses. Some Rewards Credit Cards offer curated lifestyle privileges, such as airport lounge access or event invitations.Making Everyday Shopping More MeaningfulWhen aligned with personal spending habits, Rewards Credit Cards can help turn routine purchases into opportunities for savings, travel, or exclusive experiences. Selecting a Credit Card based on individual lifestyle needs, spending categories, and reward preferences can help create consistent value across everyday transactions.With careful planning, tracking expenses, and choosing cards that reflect real-life spending patterns, shoppers can gradually transform routine purchases into enjoyable lifestyle benefits.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vaiz, a Cyprus-based work management platform, is growing its user base with a product principle most competitors ignore: zero employee surveillance. The platform has no keystroke logging, no screenshot capture, no mouse tracking, and no automatic activity monitoring. It is a deliberate product decision, not a missing feature.Vaiz combines tasks, documents, and team collaboration in one workspace — without any form of employee activity tracking.The announcement comes as workplace monitoring faces renewed criticism. In April 2026, a major technology company began installing software on employee computers to record keystrokes, mouse movements, and screen activity to train AI models. The decision triggered immediate employee backlash and public debate about the limits of employer surveillance. A growing number of teams are now looking for tools that help them coordinate work without tracking how people spend every minute.Why no-surveillance work management matters nowEmployee monitoring software has grown from a niche practice to a global norm. Adoption rose from 30 percent before the pandemic to 60 percent by 2022. In 2026, the EU AI Act classifies workplace AI monitoring as high-risk and restricts practices such as emotion recognition in employment, with penalties up to 35 million euros or 7 percent of global revenue.Research shows that 31 percent of monitored employees feel micromanaged, and 23 percent report a sense of constant surveillance. For small and mid-sized teams that depend on trust and speed, surveillance tools often cause more harm than the problems they claim to solve. Vaiz was designed for these teams. The platform does not include any automatic activity tracking, screen recording, or behavioural monitoring.What Vaiz offers instead of surveillanceVaiz is a unified work management platform that brings tasks, documents, files, and team discussions into a single workspace. Rather than tracking employee behaviour, the platform makes work visible through structure: task boards, project timelines, milestones, and shared documents that give everyone context without oversight software.The platform connects to over 2,000 applications through Zapier and offers native integrations with Slack, GitHub, and GitLab. Embedded tools include Figma, Miro, YouTube, Vimeo, Swagger, and GraphQL editors. A built-in AI assistant turns goals into task breakdowns, generates project plans, summarises discussions into action items, and improves document clarity. A native MCP server connects Vaiz to AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, and three public SDKs let developers extend the platform. The full list is available on the integrations page.Vaiz co-founder Konstantin Cherkasov explained the company's position: "We build tools that help teams coordinate their work, not tools that watch people. If a platform needs to capture your screen to know whether you are productive, the problem is not the employee — it is the platform."Switching and pricingVaiz's Migration Center supports one-click imports from Jira, Asana, Trello, YouTrack, Notion, Linear, Monday, ClickUp, and Wrike. Pricing starts with a forever free plan for up to 10 users, no credit card required. The Pro plan costs five US dollars per user per month, and the Premium plan costs nine US dollars per user per month. An Enterprise edition with on-premises deployment is available for organisations with data residency requirements. A 30-day free trial covers all paid plans, and startups qualify for a 50 percent discount.Development paceVaiz today releases version 2.84, which introduces calendar integration. Since September 2025, this is the tenth numbered release. The team has recently moved to a two-week release cycle, accelerating from the previous pace of roughly one major update every three weeks. Earlier releases in 2026 delivered an improved UI, Slack integration, Cursor IDE support, and an iOS app with full desktop parity. The public product roadmap is available on the website.The company's focus is building a connected workspace where teams can plan, execute, and communicate in one place — without tools that treat employees as subjects of observation. More information is available at vaiz.com.About VaizVaiz Ltd was founded in 2024 and is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus. The company operates a cloud-based work management platform that combines task boards, documents, and automation in one workspace. Vaiz is used by cross-functional teams at startups, product companies, game studios, agencies, and growing businesses.Related linksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/vaiz/Media contactBrand: VaizContact: Mike BurtonEmail: support@vaiz.comWebsite: https://vaiz.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Commercial competition in the robotics industry is shifting from technology showcases to real-world consumer applications. Taozhu New Creation Bureau, a robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), has recently accelerated its rollout in Beijing’s core commercial districts. Following the official opening of its Beijing apm store on April 30, the brand’s Chaoyang Hopson One outlet also debuted on May 1, further strengthening the company’s offline robotics experience network.At the Beijing apm store, Taozhu New Creation Bureau continues to embody its brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” creating an immersive smart living space that integrates product showcases, hands-on experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, and maintenance services. Consumers can interact up close with humanoid robots, companion robots, smart wearable devices, and other products, experiencing how robotics technology is moving from being merely “watchable” to genuinely “usable” across scenarios such as household service assistance, entertainment interaction, and smart living trials.The Chaoyang Hopson One store further enhances Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s commercial appeal within high-traffic retail districts. Centered on the theme of “empowering commerce through technology and driving consumption through innovation,” the store will introduce products from ecosystem partners including Unitree Robotics, Booster Robotics, Vbot, and others. Its product offerings cover quadruped robotic dogs, educational programming robots, smart wearables, smart home devices, and other intelligent equipment. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interactions, science education courses, themed events, and holiday-limited activities, the store aims to attract young consumers, parent-child families, and technology enthusiasts, while converting experiential engagement into consumption. It is positioned as a benchmark project for robotics technology consumption experiences and is expected to support the upgrade of traditional commercial districts into integrated “technology + commerce” scenarios.From the perspective of its Beijing footprint, Taozhu New Creation Bureau has now covered locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport, Beijing apm, and Chaoyang Hopson One, forming a multi-dimensional robotics consumption network that connects industrial landmarks, transportation hubs, and core commercial districts. Shougang Park serves as a venue for industrial showcase and technology experience, the airport store reaches high-mobility traveler groups, while Beijing apm and Hopson One tap into core urban retail consumption scenarios. Together, these locations form the front-end platform for showcasing, experiencing, and selling Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics products.Meanwhile, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is also promoting nationwide replicability. The brand previously made its debut in Chengdu’s Chunxi Road commercial district, leveraging a key consumption landmark in Southwest China to test a consumer pathway combining immersive interaction, on-site experience, and instant purchase. As the brand expands into more core commercial districts in major cities, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is expected to replicate its Beijing model across the national market.For Shoucheng Holdings, Taozhu New Creation Bureau will further complete its robotics commercialization value chain. The company invests in high-quality robotics enterprises at the front end, introduces products into diversified scenarios such as industrial parks, airports, and commercial districts at the midstream level, and completes a closed loop of experience, sales, maintenance, and services through offline stores at the back end. As the robotics industry enters a phase of accelerated application deployment, Taozhu New Creation Bureau is becoming Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics consumption gateway closest to users, orders, and cash flow.

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Taozhu New Creation Bureau, the robotics technology experience brand under Shoucheng Holdings (697.HK), is accelerating its entry into core consumer scenarios. On April 30, Taozhu New Creation Bureau’s Beijing apm store officially commenced operations; on May 1, its Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store subsequently made its debut. The coordinated launch of two stores in prime commercial districts not only expands the brand’s offline consumer touchpoints, but also marks the further extension of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics industry strategy from the investment and industrial ends to the mass consumer market.Built around the brand philosophy of “reimagining tradition through innovation,” Taozhu New Creation Bureau targets robotics technology experiences and future lifestyle consumption scenarios. It has created a multifunctional smart living space that integrates robotics displays, immersive experiences, interactive engagement, product sales, after-sales maintenance services, and industrial ecosystem exchange. At the Beijing apm store, demonstrations such as robotic dog walking displays, companion robot Q&A sessions, and smart wearable trials transform cutting-edge technology from static showcases into real consumer experiences, encouraging consumers to move from “watching technology” to “trying technology” and ultimately “buying technology.”Following the Beijing apm store’s role in opening up consumer touchpoints through immersive interaction, the launch of the Beijing Chaoyang Hopson One store further introduces this experience model into high-frequency commercial scenarios, amplifying its value in commercial conversion and scenario validation. Located in the core CBD area, Hopson One benefits from high foot traffic, a young consumer demographic, and strong family consumption frequency. This collaboration is not merely a single-store opening, but a cross-sector upgrade between a commercial district operator and a robotics industry platform. Through robot performances, technology and innovation interaction experiences, holiday-limited promotions, science education courses, and themed events, the two parties aim to create a new traffic engine for “commercial district + technology.” For the commercial district, Taozhu New Creation Bureau can help generate buzz, aggregate foot traffic, and extend customer dwell time. For robotics companies, it provides channels for real user feedback, market validation, sales conversion, and after-sales reach, supporting the transition of cutting-edge robotics products from exhibitions and laboratories into high-frequency consumer scenarios.From the perspective of Shoucheng Holdings’ overall robotics footprint, the significance of Taozhu New Creation Bureau lies in completing the commercialization loop. In recent years, Shoucheng Holdings has continued to deepen its presence across embodied intelligence, humanoid robots, medical robots, service robots, and other fields. Its investment portfolio now includes a number of companies such as Unitree Robotics, Galbot, Narwal Robotics, Xinghaitu, Songyan Dynamics, Weici Technology, and R-robot. The robotics industry is currently at a critical stage of moving from technological breakthroughs toward scaled applications. Companies generally require support from real-world scenarios, sales channels, user data, and after-sales systems. Taozhu New Creation Bureau is therefore assuming the dual role of both an “industrial outlet” and a “consumer gateway.”More notably, leveraging its accumulated capabilities in infrastructure asset operations, industrial space management, fund investment, and the REITs ecosystem, Shoucheng Holdings is building an “investment + application + consumption” industrial model. At the front end, the company secures high-quality robotics enterprises through fund investments; at the midstream level, it promotes technology deployment through industrial spaces and application scenarios; and at the back end, it reaches users and forms a closed loop of transactions and services through consumer channels such as Taozhu New Creation Bureau.For the capital market, the expansion of Taozhu New Creation Bureau offers a new window through which to assess the execution quality of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy. The long-term value of the robotics industry depends not only on technological advancement, but also on whether products can enter real-life scenarios, generate stable orders, and support sustained repeat purchases.

SURABAYA, INDONESIA, May 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has developed an innovative technology known as Benwit (Palm Gasoline), enabling the conversion of crude palm oil (CPO) into high-quality biogasoline, and presenting a promising alternative for reducing Indonesia’s substantial dependence on imported petroleum and foreign extraction technologies.Geopolitical tensions have continued to disrupt the global oil market and threaten energy supply security across Southeast Asia, thus emerging economies such as Indonesia are placing greater emphasis on energy sovereignty to safeguard national interests against the volatility of fossil fuel supply chains. Dr Eng Hosta Ardhyananta ST MSc explained the process and results of producing Palm Oil Gasoline using the "Benwit" method he discovered.The research, funded by the Indonesian Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), applies an advanced catalytic cracking method developed by ITS expert Dr. Eng. Hosta Ardhyananta, S.T., M.Sc., and his team. This method is designed to decompose large triglyceride molecules in crude palm oil (CPO) into lighter hydrocarbon fractions that are suitable for use in combustion engines.Hosta's team successfully optimized the reaction by introducing a bimetallic catalytic composed of Nickel Oxide (Nio) and Copper Oxide (CuO). This catalytic synergy enabled a substantial reduction in operating temperature, from 380°C to 320°C, while simultaneously increasing the biogasoline yield from 60% to an impressive 83%.The resulting fuel consists of short-chain hydrocarbons (C5–C11), closely resembling the chemical composition of commercial gasoline. In addition to the primary fuel product, the process reflects a zero-emission approach, in which gaseous byproducts are recycled as a heat source for the reactors, while liquid residues are repurposed as fuel for industrial or household stoves.Hosta noted that the innovation has been applied with agricultural machinery, but testing has been underway since April with conventional internal combustion engines through a blending method with fossil fuels and will continue to enable Benwit as a primary fuel for conventional vehicles, in line with the Indonesian government's plan to implement B50 biodiesel in July.This innovation aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy, and Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production. A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the research team indicates that the production process generates a minimal carbon footprint in comparison with conventional fossil fuels.The development of Benwit has also received full support from the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture, Amran Sulaiman. In the near future, collaboration with PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) PalmCo IV is expected to commence following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITS.Prof. Dr. (HC) Ir. Bambang Pramujati, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., and Rector of ITS, underscored the timeliness of Benwit, noting that the current global situation offers a strategic opportunity for the government to accelerate the transition toward alternative energy sources, while the use of domestic palm oil reserves could help mitigate the effects of external fuel crises.Benwit bio-based fuel products, for agriculturl machinery and for convetional vehicles, represent a potentially significant policy instrument for advancing the transition to renewable energy, while working to reinforce national energy security.About ITSEstablished in 1960, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is one of Indonesia’s leading universities, with a strong emphasis on science, engineering, and innovation.

INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A global consortium of 64 experts (72 entities, 5 continents) unveiled two coordinated consensus plus policy brief reports, outlining a science‑driven roadmap to confront escalating health crises and to tackle the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs-including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc.: 75% of global deaths; 82% in low-/middle income countries; 90% of all death in European region).The centerpiece is HEAL-Healthy Eating & Active Living, ideally whole‑food plant‑predominant/vegetarian-vegan diets & daily exercise outdoors/active mobility-as the minimum, first‑line standard in health and care. The authors urge immediate action on Prevention-over-Treatment and reforming education and human‑relevant science (drug failure rate from animal studies is 90-95%, and as high as 99.6% for Alzheimer disease), with a rapid shift from disease‑centered reaction to person‑centered, lifestyle‑first cure and care.Figure 1. HEAL means choosing a whole-food, plant-predominant (ideally vegan) diets coupled with daily exercise outdoors/in nature to kick-start better health.

As childhood-entrenched health literacy lasts a lifetime; embedding HEAL from primary to tertiary education is the policy priority of our generation." -Lead author Katharina Wirnitzer | PHT, University of Innsbruck & CCCTIMFigure 2. Katharina Wirnitzer/Keynote on Vegan Diet in Sports. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer.Why change is imperativeThe paradox: Despite rising health spending and scientific advances, public health gains lag while ever-growing NCDs. The expert panel offers 101 consensus statements and a 10‑step policy roadmap to act across the lifespan-from individual behavior to population‑level change.Why HEAL, and why now: HEAL combines Healthy Eating (whole‑food, plant‑predominant; preferably vegetarian/vegan) with Active Living (regular, ideally daily, including outdoor activity and active mobility). Evidence shows synergistic benefits beyond either alone, reducing reliance on drugs and surgery while improving resilience and sustainability of health systems.Prevention-First (3:1): The reports recommend prioritizing prevention, health maintenance, and health promotion over treatment by 3:1 (Figure 3), making healthy choices the easy, first‑line intervention and reserving medicalized treatment for specific indications.Education and workforce: Embed HEAL from primary through tertiary education and continuously upskill healthcare and education professionals to deliver evidence‑based lifestyle counseling, routine assessment, and monitoring. Improve meal standards and support active mobility in schools and public spaces.Human‑relevant science: Accelerate the transition to non‑animal, human‑relevant methods for basic and preclinical research and for efficacy, safety and toxicity testing through funding priorities, validation, and regulatory adoption.Policy roadmap: Apply Health in All Policies (HiAP) to link individual choices with systemic supports (Figure 4); invest in supportive defaults (healthy public catering, active transport, public‑space design, community HEAL programs); embed HEAL in curricula; and track outcomes with robust evaluation to scale what works."Every dollar/euro invested in evidence-based prevention saves multiples in treatment. HEAL is the smartest first investment a health system can make." -Bernd Haditsch | ÖGK - Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Prevention Unit"Obesity is a disease with powerful drivers. HEAL gives every patient a proven, first-line foundation to reclaim their health." -Fatima Cody Stanford | Harvard Medical School & MGH"A doctor who cannot counsel patients on the Power of Lifestyle, especially on food and movement, is only half-equipped. Lifestyle education in medical school is the missing foundation of modern medicine. Helping our patients to eat a more plant-strong diet is the most powerful healing medicine we can prescribe." -Michael Klaper | Moving Medicine Forward"Plant-forward diets provide a powerful opportunity to concurrently improve health and wellbeing for people, farmed animals and the environment." -Andrew Knight | Griffith UniversityFigure 3. Four areas-of-action, balanced 3:1, to achieve lifelong health. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer."Given its cost-effectiveness, Traditional, Integrative, and Complementary Medicine will be the evidence-based mainstream of tomorrow's global healthcare." -Tomáš Pfeiffer | ITCIM & SANATOR"Treatment alone will not sustain health systems. HEAL connects prevention, lifestyle medicine and integrative care to advance salutogenesis on a planetary scale. We must invest far more in creating health." -Georg Seifert | WHO CC & CCCTIM, Charité Universitäts mediz in Berlin"The science clearly shows that, when it comes to human health, animal protection is a win-win. Given human health's complexity, and since animal testing virtually fails to cure human diseases, human-relevant methods already outperform animal experimentation and must therefore be implemented with priority in science, with funds going to human-focused research. Citizens in the EU and US have spoken clearly in favor of this transition. HEAL can prevent many diseases, avoiding the need for animal studies altogether." -Merel Ritskes-Hoitinga | Universities Aarhus & Utrecht; Doris Wilflingseder | Vetmed Uni Vienna, Aysha Akhtar | Center for Contemporary Sciences, Corina Gericke & Gaby Neumann | Doctors Against Animal ExperimentsFigure 4.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, and CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. ("CyberCatch") (TSXV:CYBE) (OTCQB:CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, today announced they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") under which Datavault AI and CyberCatch will enter into a definitive agreement for Datavault AI to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).Under the LOI and subject to a definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares (being approximately 26.8 million shares) in exchange for approximately 49.9 million newly issued shares of Datavault AI common stock (the "Datavault AI Shares") at CAD $5.11 per CyberCatch share, which implies an aggregate value to CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares of CAD $136,843,820. All issued and outstanding CyberCatch securities convertible into or exercisable for CyberCatch common shares will be exchanged for Datavault AI Shares on a cashless exercise basis at a deemed value of USD $2.00 per Datavault AI Share. Upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary board, stock exchange, and any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, it is anticipated that Datavault AI stockholders will hold approximately 92.48% and CyberCatch shareholders approximately 7.52% of the equity of Datavault AI, on a non-fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI from San Diego, California, and CyberCatch founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda will serve as President of the subsidiary, reporting to Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.Strategic RationaleThe combination is positioned at the intersection of two of cybersecurity's largest secular markets. According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $240 billion in 2026, and Gartner separately projects the AI-amplified security segment will reach $160 billion by 2029, up from $49 billion in 2025. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, with a global average of $4.44 million.Regulatory tailwinds are converging with that demand picture. Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program took effect on November 10, 2025, with mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments for Level 2 contracts beginning in November 2026 and full enforcement extending across approximately 220,000 Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors. CyberCatch's platform is purpose-built to address that mandate in defense, HIPAA in healthcare, NIST 800-171 in manufacturing, NIST CSF 2.0 in financial services, among others.The combination is also positioned for the post-quantum security era. Google has set 2029 as its internal deadline to migrate authentication systems to quantum-resistant cryptography. Separately, Google Quantum AI research demonstrated that the elliptic curve cryptography protecting many digital signatures and authentication systems could be broken by a superconducting quantum computer with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. CyberCatch is converting its patent-pending, multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation ("MARS-MABE") technology to attain quantum-resistance, and combining MARS-MABE with continuous agentic AI penetration testing creates a next-generation cybersecurity stack applicable across healthcare, defense, manufacturing, financial services, and energy.About CyberCatch's Platform and LeadershipCyberCatch's patented, AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution:Uses generative AI to ensure all legally required controls are in place and calculates a Cyber Hygiene ScoreUses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to perform penetration tests and calculates a Cyber Breach ScoreDetects gaps for prompt remediation before a threat actor can exploit and be successfulThe platform tests cybersecurity controls continuously from three dimensions, outside-in, inside-out, and social engineering, mapping to NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regulated frameworks, replacing once-a-year manual penetration tests with continuous agentic AI penetration testing using specialized skill-set agents.MARS-MABE provides several distinct advantages over current RSA and AES-256 encryption, such as:Access to data is provided only if fine-grained user attributes are metAccess to users can be limited to fine-grained data subsetsInstant revocation of user access to data subsets, eliminating the need to re-encrypt the entire data set and providing speed and significant cost savingsCyberCatch is led by founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda, a globally recognized cybersecurity expert, author of the bestselling Next Level Cybersecurity, co-author of Canada's National Cybersecurity Standard, and inventor of USPTO Patent No. 11,297,094, "Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Assessment with Measurement and Scoring." He is the former founder and CEO of Compliance Coach, which was acquired by FIS, a FORTUNE 500 company, where he served as GM, Risk, Information Security, and Compliance Solutions.CyberCatch's board and advisory board include:Tom Ridge, former special assistant to U.S. President, first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and two-term Governor of PennsylvaniaDr. Marv Langston, former Director of Information Systems at U.S. DARPA and Cybersecurity Chief, U.S. NavyScott Tait, former U.S. Navy Commander and National Security Advisor at the Joint Chiefs at the U.S. PentagonCyberCatch's customers span the U.S. defense supply chain, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, and public sectors, and the Company's capabilities were extended through the February 2026 acquisition of multi-authority attribute-based encryption technology, now branded MARS-MABE, and through 2026 reseller and referral partnerships such as with Speridian Technologies and other multiple reseller partners to U.S. government agencies.Added Strategic Benefit: Platform Integration and Cyber Defense Layer Across the Datavault AI StackFollowing closing, CyberCatch's AI-enabled Software-as-a-Service platform is also expected to operate as the cybersecurity and continuous-compliance layer across Datavault AI's existing technology suite, including:DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) running natively on Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI quantum-resistant, zero-trust edge platform across 1,000 urban micro-edge neocloud sites planned in 100+ U.S. cities by year-end 2026Acoustic Sciences division technologies (WiSA®, ADIO®, Sumerian®) and IDE® deployments serving sports, entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy customersFederal and regulated-industry customer workloads where continuous compliance attestation against NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS frameworks is increasingly a precondition for procurement, audit, and renewalThe proposed acquisition is intended to give Datavault AI customers and partners an integrated path from secure compute through AI-driven data analytics, with continuous attestation at every layer.Management Commentary"Cybersecurity is no longer a separate stack from data and AI - it is the precondition for both. CyberCatch's continuous compliance platform is expected to provide another strategic advantage by adding to DataValue®, DataScore®, and the IDE® a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our quantum-secured edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI."Datavault AI's quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as in defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives them a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in," said Sai Huda, founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of CyberCatch.Transaction OverviewUnder the binding LOI, holders of CyberCatch's common shares will receive newly issued common shares of Datavault AI as described above, with CyberCatch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datavault AI. The Datavault AI Shares to be issued are anticipated to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(10), and applicable state securities law exemptions.The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of due diligence, board approvals of both companies, requisite CyberCatch shareholder approval, applicable court approval of the plan of arrangement (British Columbia), and approvals of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary closing conditions. The parties have agreed to negotiate a definitive agreement during a 45-day mutual exclusivity period.About Datavault AIDatavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.
