This service leverages AI to analyze non-financial information disclosure, helping companies organize and manage disclosure content based on ESG evaluation criteria and make decisions on disclosure policies that contribute to enhanced corporate value.</p><p>The service, available from May 29, 2026, utilizes Fujitsu's own expertise in non-financial information disclosure and AI to analyze and manage non-financial information, benchmark disclosure content against over 1,000 listed companies in Japan, and enable disclosure that considers ESG evaluations. This will allow companies to strategically disclose non-financial information, aiming for inclusion in ESG indices and other capital market considerations. Through this service, Fujitsu aims to support companies in their continuous value creation and contribute to the revitalization of the domestic stock market.</p><p><strong>Background&nbsp;</strong></p><p>In 2023, the Tokyo Stock Exchange issued a request for companies to focus on "realizing management that is conscious of capital costs and stock prices," increasing the importance of information disclosure for enhancing corporate value. While many companies are expanding their disclosure information in response, they face challenges in organizing required disclosure items, objectively understanding their disclosure levels and positioning compared to competitors, and benchmarking due to the increasing complexity of non-financial information disclosure requirements. As a result, significant time and effort are required to achieve disclosure that leads to positive evaluations, and internal information management systems are often not adequately prepared, leading to a tendency for tasks to become individualized.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Overview of "Fujitsu Sustainability Disclosure Navigator"&nbsp;</strong></p><p>This service uses AI to objectively analyze the presence and status of non-financial information disclosure by a company and its competitors, based on the evaluation criteria of multiple ESG rating agencies, thereby supporting companies in achieving evaluations that reflect their actual performance. It also provides analysis and insights for improving future ESG evaluations, supporting the strategic disclosure of non-financial information. The AI leverages knowledge accumulated through Fujitsu's own long-standing practice of non-financial information disclosure, as well as non-financial information publicly disclosed by over 1,000 listed companies in Japan, including Fujitsu. Fujitsu aims to continuously improve the service's functions through agile development even after its launch, providing comprehensive support for non-financial information disclosure.</p><p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://global.fujitsu/-/media/Project/Fujitsu/Fujitsu-HQ/pr/news/2026/05/29-01/news-20260529-01a-en.png?h=452&amp;iar=0&amp;w=980&amp;rev=1999a0fc5e71457e98e125116c014fff&amp;hash=1462F62C4AAD8756972B963506A1F49A" alt="" width="650" height="300"></p><p style="text-align: center;">Figure: Conceptual diagram of the "Fujitsu Sustainability Disclosure Navigator"</p><p><strong>Features of "Fujitsu Sustainability Disclosure Navigator"&nbsp;</strong></p><p><strong>1.

The foundation also published ONE WALLET Whitepaper V1.0, detailing the product, security architecture, and the utility model of its $1 token.</p><p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://photos.acnnewswire.com/20260529.One_Wallet.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="366"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">ONE WALLET targets the gap between custodial exchange wallets &mdash; easy but centrally controlled &mdash; and self-custody wallets, which are powerful but ask mainstream users to memorize twelve-word seed phrases and install separate apps. ONE WALLET inverts that order: users open Telegram, complete a lightweight device check, and transact. There is no seed phrase to write down and no app to download.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">At the core is a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model. A user's signing key is split into three shares &mdash; held by the device, the user's Telegram account, and an offline recovery share. The wallet is designed so that no single party, including ONE WALLET, can move funds alone: any two shares are combined briefly on the user's device to sign a transaction, then discarded. Any one share alone cannot reconstruct the key.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As a foundation-led initiative, ONE COMPANY frames ONE WALLET as the financial entry point to a broader digital ecosystem spanning fintech, AI, games, travel, and information services built on blockchain. The foundation's stated mandate includes research and education for Web3, user protection and transparency, and regulatory-compliance systems.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Most people will never write down a seed phrase, and they shouldn't have to," said James Kim, CEO of ONE COMPANY. "Our job as a foundation is to make self-custody feel as natural as sending a message &mdash; and to do it with security that's honest about its boundaries. Opening private testing and publishing our whitepaper on the same day is a deliberate choice: we want users, partners, and regulators reading the same document."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">ONE WALLET's roadmap moves from the core wallet (multi-chain send, receive, and swap) to a QR-based payments rail with merchant settlement, followed by the $1 token utility layer and an ecosystem of partner mini-apps. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About ONE WALLET</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">ONE WALLET is a Telegram-native, keyless Web3 wallet built on the TON blockchain. It replaces seed-phrase backups with a 2-of-3 Shamir Multi-Share custody model and is designed to combine a wallet, a QR-based payment rail, and the $1 token ecosystem in a single Telegram Mini App. Whitepaper V1.0 is available in EN, KO, JA, and ZH.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About ONE COMPANY</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">ONE COMPANY is a foundation registered with SSM, the Companies Commission of Malaysia, with offices in Kuala Lumpur. It develops and operates a global digital platform integrating digital wallet, fintech, AI, games, travel, and information services based on blockchain technology.

The market size in China is estimated to surge from US$5.1 billion in 2024 to US$19.0 billion in 2030, with a remarkable CAGR of 24.5%, far outpacing the global average and embracing vast market opportunities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">LongBio Pharma (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. ("Longbio Pharma" or the "Company", Stock Code: 01779.HK), a leading player in the sector, officially launched its Public Offering&nbsp;on 28 May, marking the final countdown to its Hong Kong listing. The Company is poised to embark on a new chapter of commercialisation and scaled development empowered by the capital market.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Focused on Premium Therapeutic Track, Premium Innovative Pipeline Builds Core Barriers</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Founded in 2020, Longbio Pharma is a clinical-stage innovative biopharmaceutical company with full in-house capabilities for drug discovery and development, focusing on allergic and autoimmune diseases. Since inception, the Company has consistently prioritised unmet clinical needs and specialised in differentiated innovative tracks, building a well-structured, tiered and high-potential innovative product pipeline.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Company has established a three-tier product layout featuring breakthrough core product + leading flagship product + robust pipeline reserves. Its portfolio includes core product LP-003 and flagship product LP-005, alongside multiple innovative drug candidates covering high-value indications such as allergic diseases and complement-mediated autoimmune diseases, underpinning promising long-term growth prospects.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Longbio Pharma&rsquo;s core product LP-003 is a differentiated Anti-IgE monoclonal antibody with an innovative sequence design. It precisely targets the core pathogenesis of allergic diseases, indicated for the targeted treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis (AR), chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), allergic asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and food allergies. Its primary function is to specifically block free IgE in human blood and tissues, and thus inhibiting the occurrence of IgE-driven allergic reactions.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Compared with conventional therapies, LP-003 efficiently binds to free IgE and prohibits those excessive IgEs from binding to the high-affinity IgE receptor, Fc&epsilon;RI. Boasting a precise mechanism of action, strong targeting capability and a broad spectrum of indications, it delivers distinct competitive edges and substantial market potential.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Clinical data have fully validated its robust product strength.

Top-line results from the Phase II clinical trial for CSU showed that LP-003 demonstrated promising efficacy (fast onset of action, good efficacy and long-acting) compared to omalizumab in the treatment of CSU. LP-003 also showed favorable efficacy and safety profile in its Phase II clinical trial for moderate-to-severe seasonal AR that is inadequately controlled by standard treatment. A Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of seasonal AR is currently underway in China.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With the steady advancement of clinical trials and continuous release of key clinical data, LP-003 is expected to reshape the treatment landscape for allergic diseases and fill the domestic market gap for high-efficiency, long-acting differentiated anti-IgE drugs. Upon commercialisation, it is set to capture a substantial share of the allergic disease treatment market and become a core driver of the Company&rsquo;s performance growth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">LP-005, the Company&rsquo;s flagship product, is the first innovative drug developed on its Bi-functional Antibody Development Platform and a bi-functional antibody fusion protein targeting C5 and C3b complement. By acting on multiple key nodes in the complement cascade simultaneously, it comprehensively blocks complex pathological mechanisms of diseases and achieves synergistic multi-pathway inhibition. Outperforming conventional single-target drugs in therapeutic potential and indication coverage, it boasts prominent technological and clinical value.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">LP-005 has obtained IND approvals in China for various indications, including paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), complement-mediated kidney diseases (including but not limited to IgAN, C3G and LN), and other complement related indications, covering a range of major diseases with high clinical demand and limited curative options.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Company is steadily advancing several clinical trials of LP-005 for PNH and complement-mediated kidney diseases. Interim data from Phase II clinical trial (CTR20242478) have yielded encouraging results. From the data collected, LP-005 has shown encouraging efficacy in PNH patients, including two PNH patients who were previously treated with omalizumab but inadequately controlled, still have benefitted continuously from LP-005 treatment throughout the trial period. LP-005 demonstrated favorable safety and tolerability in the Phase I study in China involving healthy subjects, laying a solid foundation for subsequent large-scale clinical development and commercial application.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With continuous breakthroughs in clinical trials, LP-005 is expected to become China&rsquo;s first novel multi-target complement drug, filling the huge unmet medical need for refractory autoimmune diseases and securing a first-mover advantage in the complement inhibitor segment. It will open up a new growth curve for the Company.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While advancing its core and flagship products, Longbio Pharma continues to expand its pipeline reserves to sustain long-term growth. The Company has developed multiple promising candidates, including LP-00A, a bi-functional autoimmune antibody targeting allergic diseases, LP-00C, a bi-functional B-cell inhibitor targeting B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases and LP-00D, a bi-functional antibody or fusion protein complement inhibitor optimized for specific tissues/organs and indications. The diversified pipelines currently in development precisely target segmented disease areas, forming a rich and diverse pipeline that underpins the Company&rsquo;s sustained innovation and steady growth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Self-developed Technology Platforms Empower R&amp;D Strength for Long-term Innovation</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Innovative technology platforms are the cornerstone for biopharmaceutical enterprises to continuously deliver high-quality pipelines.

While it is tempting to see a credit line as extra disposable income for non-essential lifestyle choices, the most responsible way to use standby cash is to create a safety net for unplanned costs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Having a credit facility ensures you can handle urgent needs without disturbing your long-term savings or selling your investments at a loss, if you use it prudently and be mindful of the applicable interest, fees and repayment obligations. Here are five smart ways to use your standby funds for emergencies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Urgent home repairs</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A home is often your largest asset, but it requires constant upkeep. A sudden burst pipe, a leaking ceiling, or a faulty electrical circuit is more than just an everyday inconvenience; it is a threat to your property's value. If you do not fix these issues immediately, they can lead to mould, water damage, or even fire hazards.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Most contractors in Singapore require an upfront deposit or immediate payment upon completion. These costs often fall outside your regular monthly budget. In such cases, using your standby cash allows you to hire a professional right away. This prevents a small, manageable repair from turning into a massive renovation bill that could otherwise cause you a significant financial loss in the future.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Managing non-insured healthcare costs</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Residents of Singapore generally have good insurance coverage through MediShield Life (a lifelong national health insurance scheme in Singapore) or other private plans. However, insurance may not always cover all medical circumstances. For example, a sudden dental emergency like a fractured tooth or a painful abscess requires immediate treatment. Outpatient specialist visits or specific diagnostic tests may also require you to pay in cash first before you can claim them back.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In a medical crisis, time is of the essence. One should not have to wait until the next payday to seek relief from pain or to get a necessary scan. Having standby cash ready means you can walk into a clinic or hospital, thus ensuring you receive the care you need without the added stress of checking your bank balance during a health scare.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Bridging income gaps during retrenchment</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Retrenchment is a sudden loss of income that can take place regardless of your industry or experience level. In a competitive job market, it can typically take between three to six months to secure a new role that matches your previous salary.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">While a dedicated emergency fund is ideal, it may not always cover the full duration of your unemployment. In such cases, standby cash acts as a vital secondary buffer. It helps you cover essential monthly commitments temporarily, such as utility bills, and insurance premiums, thus allowing you to focus on your job search. This prevents you from falling behind on payments, which could otherwise damage your credit score.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Critical family emergencies</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Family needs often arise without warning. A parent might face sudden hospitalisation, or a relative might need urgent financial help due to an unexpected crisis. These situations are emotionally draining and may often require immediate access to cash.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If your wealth is tied up in stocks, bonds, or unit trusts, you might be forced to sell them during a market downturn to get the cash you need. This locks in your losses and hurts your long-term retirement goals. Therefore, using standby cash provides the liquid funds needed in such emergencies. This allows your investments time to recover and continue growing, protecting your future wealth while you handle the present crisis.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Replacement of essential appliances</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Home appliances often go unnoticed until they stop working. If your refrigerator dies in the middle of a humid Singaporean week, your food can spoil within hours. Similarly, a broken washing machine can quickly disrupt a busy household's routine.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Replacing these essential items can sometimes cost a significant amount of money. While it might be momentarily feasible to buy the cheapest model available to save money, it is often smarter to use standby cash to buy a high-quality, energy-efficient replacement. Quality appliances last longer and save you money on electricity bills, making them a better financial choice in the long run.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">How to restore your safety net</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Using standby cash responsibly means having a clear plan to pay it back. When you repay the amount you borrowed, that credit limit becomes available for you to use again for the next potential emergency.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Create a repayment schedule: As soon as the emergency is over, look at your monthly budget. Determine how much you can repay each month to clear the balance quickly.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Prioritise high-interest debt: If you have multiple debts, focus on paying off the used standby cash to minimise interest costs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Use bonuses or windfalls: If you receive a work bonus or a tax refund, use a portion of it to renew your credit line.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Final thoughts</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The value of standby cash lies in its role as a short-term financial buffer when used responsibly. It is not designed for lifestyle upgrades or impulsive shopping. Instead, it is there to give you peace of mind and protection. By reserving these funds for unplanned essential needs, you can protect your savings and ensure that a temporary crisis does not become a permanent financial setback.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Contact Information:<br>Name: Sonakshi Murze<br>Email:&nbsp;<a href="mailto:Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.com" rel="nofollow">Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.com</a><br>Job Title: Manager</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>SOURCE:</strong> iQuanti</p><BR /><BR /> Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire.

This occurred in a period of challenging macro-economic environment with general softness in demand for dental procedures, trade war and geopolitical uncertainties. The Group has been proactive in its approach to deal with the unprecedented international trade environment leveraging its international production facilities located in Thailand, Vietnam and Mainland China.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Global Revenue</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total revenue of the Group increased by approximately 12.1% (approx. HK$987.5 million) compared with the three months ended 31 March 2025.</p><p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://photos.acnnewswire.com/20260529SC1.jpg" alt="" width="554" height="271"></p><p style="text-align: justify;">^ The decrease in revenue in original currency of the North America market (ex-MicroDental) was approximately 2.3% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of MicroDental was approximately 14.6%.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"># The increase in revenue in original currency of the Mainland China market was approximately 1.5% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of Hong Kong market was approximately 3.7%.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">++ The percentage change in Others represented changes in value of Hong Kong Dollars as Others included revenue dominated in different currencies.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">* The revenue information above is based on the locations of the customers.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">** The conversion rate shall not be taken as a representation that respective original currency could actually be converted into HK$ at that rate, or at all.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The increase in revenue in Europe was primarily driven by higher sales order volumes, supported by the successful launch of new products such as digital dentures and the rollout of our state-of-the-art digital workflows. As a frontrunner in providing comprehensive digital solutions &mdash; ranging from minimally invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners &mdash; the Group is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated digitalization trend within the dental industry.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Revenue from MicroDental, our North American domestic dental laboratory business, declined due to the softer US economy, which led to reduced patient demand for high-value discretionary dental treatments, particularly implants.&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Group&rsquo;s revenue in the Mainland China market recorded 1.5% increase in original currency terms during the first quarter of 2026, representing a turnaround from the decline of 4.2% in 2025. The decrease in revenue in the Hong Kong market also narrowed to 3.7%, as compared to the decline of 11.5% in 2025.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Mainland China market appears to have reached the bottom of the impact from the volume-based procurement policies and a prolonged period of intense price competition. This has also led to aggressive promotions for dental implant treatments by Mainland China dental clinics in Hong Kong, which experienced a notable decrease in patient visits. The Hong Kong market is gradually moving towards stabilization in line with this trend. The Group has deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments and remains focused on serving mid- and high-value customers, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainable profitability of the Group&rsquo;s business.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The increase in revenue from Australia reflected a strong uptake of digital products driven by the digitalization trend in dental industry and anti-snoring products.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The increase in revenue in Others mainly represented the increase in revenue in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Notably, positive revenue growths were achieved in higher-margin regions such as Europe and Australia, whereas revenue declined in the relatively lower-margin business of MicroDental. This favorable geographical mix shift and the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars are expected to improve the Group&rsquo;s overall margin percentage.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sales Volumes (Number of Cases)</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total sales volumes of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% to approximately 720,000 cases (three months ended 31 March 2025: approximately 692,000 cases).</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Digital Solution Cases</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group&rsquo;s digital solution cases (overseas and domestic) that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include digital solution cases produced in the Group&rsquo;s non-Mainland China, non-Thailand and non-Vietnam production facilities or overseas/satellite dental laboratories) increased to approximately 294,712 cases reflecting an increase of 24.6% for the same period in 2025 (approximately 236,488 cases) as a result of our clients&rsquo; increased adoption of intra-oral scanners.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Average Selling Price</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the average selling price of the Group&rsquo;s dental prosthetic products across its markets was HK$1,273 per case (three months ended 31 March 2025: HK$1,188), representing an increase of approximately 7.2% mainly due to the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Looking forward, the global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental&nbsp;prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our&nbsp;ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patient</p><p style="text-align: justify;">experiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group&rsquo;s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About Modern Dental Group</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Modern Dental Group Limited (Stock code: 03600.HK) is a leading global dental prosthetics provider, distributor and consultant with a focus on providing custom-made prostheses to customers in the growing prosthetics industry.

Built on the Canton Network, the privacy-preserving market intelligence platform secured first place at the inaugural HackCanton Season 1 grand final, emerging victorious from a competitive global pool of more than 300 development teams across 15 countries.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Confimarket, a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network, has<a href="https://x.com/appsfactory_cc/status/2057531873098625220"> won first place at HackCanton Season 1</a> after advancing through a competitive field of more than 300 builders from over 15 countries.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The project was selected as the first-place winner following the grand final of HackCanton Season 1, an ecosystem hackathon organized by AppsFactory and focused on DeFi, RWA, DAO &amp; Governance, and AI applications for Canton Network.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Confimarket is being developed as a prediction market for serious capital and demanding participants. Its core thesis is that prediction markets become materially more valuable when users can participate without exposing sensitive strategy, intent, or positioning to the broader market.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Prediction markets have already shown their ability to aggregate information at scale. However, many high-value participants &mdash; including professional traders, institutions, analysts, and organizations with sensitive views &mdash; may be reluctant to participate in fully transparent public markets. Confimarket is designed around that gap: market-based information discovery with privacy-preserving participation, credible settlement, and infrastructure suitable for more advanced financial workflows.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">"Prediction markets are one of the most important categories in crypto because they turn information, belief, and probability into tradable markets. But the next stage of the category requires better infrastructure for participants who cannot expose their strategies or positions publicly," said Alexander I, General Partner at WebWise Capital. "That is the opportunity we see with Confimarket: confidential prediction markets built for more serious capital, stronger market structure, and institutional-grade use cases."</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Canton Network is a natural environment for this model because it combines privacy, interoperability, and an architecture designed for synchronized financial markets. Canton describes itself as the first privacy-enabled open blockchain network, built to preserve privacy while allowing participants to exchange data and value across connected applications.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Canton Network has also been attracting prominent financial institutions and ecosystem participants. Official Canton materials list organizations such as J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, BNY, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, and others in the broader ecosystem. For Confimarket, this makes Canton a strategically relevant foundation: the network is designed around privacy-preserving financial infrastructure rather than general-purpose public-chain transparency.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">During HackCanton Season 1, Confimarket refined its product thesis, shipped core functionality, gathered user feedback, and strengthened the architecture behind the platform. The team used the hackathon as an early proving ground for confidential prediction market workflows on Canton Network, with a focus on market creation, trading logic, settlement flows, and the user experience required to make prediction markets accessible to higher-value participants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The hackathon win represents an early ecosystem validation signal for Confimarket as the project moves from prototype development toward product readiness. The grand final and judging process provided feedback from Canton ecosystem leaders, venture investors, infrastructure companies, and industry participants.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Projects at HackCanton Season 1 were evaluated by representatives from the Canton Foundation as well as venture and industry participants including DWF Ventures, LongHash, Scytale Digital, Jsquare VC, Quantstamp, and Chainlink Labs.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Following the hackathon, Confimarket is focused on completing its trading engine, improving the user interface and onboarding flow, preparing private beta access, and working toward liquidity and ecosystem partnerships. The team's next phase is centered on turning the hackathon-winning prototype into a product that can support real prediction market activity, privacy-preserving participation, and institutional-grade use cases.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Confimarket is also continuing to position itself within the Canton ecosystem as a prediction market layer for use cases where privacy, credible execution, and market-based forecasting are essential.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Follow <a href="https://x.com/confimarket_w3">Confimarket on X</a> for product updates, ecosystem announcements, and launch news, or explore the live app at confimarket.io.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>About Confimarket</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Confimarket is a privacy-preserving prediction market built on Canton Network.

(TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) </strong>("<strong>Radisson</strong>" or the "<strong>Company</strong>") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced "bought deal" private placement pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 18,115,797 Class A common shares of the Company that each qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the <em>Income Tax Act</em> (Canada)) as part of a charity arrangement (the "<strong>FT Shares</strong>"), at a price of $1.38 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,999,800 (the "<strong>Offering</strong>"). The 18,115,797 FT Shares issued under the Offering include 2,174,000 FT Shares issued and sold pursuant to the full exercise of the option granted by the Company to the Underwriters.</p><p><em><strong>Matt Manson, President and CEO:</strong> "We are very grateful for the strong support demonstrated for this financing from existing and new shareholders. In October 2025, we expanded our successful deep, step-out drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project to what will be an eventual 140,000 metres with up to eight drill rigs. The drill program is ongoing, and in March of this year we demonstrated its value with an interim, and meaningful, increase in the estimate of the Project's mineral resources. With this financing completed, we can now (i) plan the expansion and extension of our drilling through to the end of 2027, (ii) manage our capital resources more efficiently with our "flow-through" eligible exploration expenditures, and (iii) establish a strong treasury to support project development activities and project de-risking. In particular, our step-out drilling ambition is to go deeper. Until now, our exploration horizon has been to a floor of 2 kilometers depth. Results to date indicate extensive gold mineralization with good continuity beneath the former mine and the current mineral resources to at least 1.9 kilometers depth (see </em><a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/zAGD2fy1nG"><em>Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026</em></a><em>). Given the character of neighboring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, we now intend to extend our exploration to a depth of 2.5 kilometers with new deep drilling and directional wedging. We believe that O'Brien gold mineralization has the potential to extend to at least these depths, that such mineralization offers the potential for significant new mineral resources in excess of our current exploration target, and that these mineral resources might be reasonably expected to be developed." </em></p><p>The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the <em>Income Tax Act</em> (Canada) (the "<strong>Tax Act</strong>"), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "<strong>Qualifying Expenditures</strong>") in connection with the exploration of the O'Brien Gold Project, including deep drilling beyond the scope of the current program, on or before December 31, 2027. The Company will renounce all such Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2026. In the event the Company is unable to renounce Qualifying Expenditures effective on or prior to December 31, 2026 for each FT Share purchased in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber, as applicable, for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.</p><p>The Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated May 28, 2026 between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by ATB Cormark Capital Markets (collectively, the "<strong>Underwriters</strong>"). In consideration for the services provided to the Company in connection with the Offering, the Underwriters received an aggregate cash commission equal to $1,316,792.99, representing (i) 6% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers not on the President's List, and (ii) 3% of the gross proceeds of the Offering with respect to the FT Shares sold to purchasers on the President's List, provided that no commission was paid with respect to certain U.S. Purchasers under the President's List (the "<strong>Cash Commission</strong>"). The Cash Commission was paid by the Company with existing cash on hand.</p><p>The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.</p><p>Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - <em>Prospectus Exemptions</em> ("<strong>NI 45-106</strong>"), the FT Shares have been offered for sale to purchasers resident in all provinces of Canada pursuant to the listed issuer financing exemption under Part 5A of NI 45-106, as amended by Coordinated Blanket Order 45-935 - <em>Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption</em> (the "<strong>Listed Issuer Financing Exemption</strong>"). The FT Shares issued under the Offering to purchasers resident in Canada under the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption will not be subject to a hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.</p><p>An amended offering document related to the Offering and the use by the Company of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption can be accessed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at <a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/4YyVXuWAoE">www.sedarplus.ca</a> and on the Company's website at <a href="https://api.newsfilecorp.com/redirect/jNLGqsrX3X">www.radissonmining.com</a>.</p><p>This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of any of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful, including any of the securities in the United States.
