TOKYO, July 31, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL GROUP Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Koichiro Tanaka) has decided to enter into a business partnership with JEPLAN, INC. (Headquarters: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa; Representative Director, President, and Chief Executive Officer: Masaki Takao; hereinafter “JEPLAN”) to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote the recycling organic materials in the precious metal recovery processes of TANAKA PRECIOUS METAL TECHNOLOGIES Co., Ltd., a company engaged in precious metals business.This initiative represents a collaboration between TANAKA, committed to advancing a circular economy in the precious metals field, and JEPLAN, which has been pursuing similar goals in the plastics field, with both companies aiming to achieve a decarbonized, circular society.TANAKA’s Initiatives Thus Far for Realizing a Circular SocietySince its founding in 1885, TANAKA has been a leader in the precious metals industry, actively engaged in recycling these limited and valuable resources. Among the process waste materials received from customers who request recycling, those containing organic materials (plastics) as main components with precious metals attached or adsorbed have traditionally been processed through incineration to remove the organic materials, with precious metals then recovered from the ash left behind.While this incineration process has addressed the removal of environmentally regulated substances, the reduction of CO₂ generated during the combustion of organic materials has become a major challenge in realizing a decarbonized society.Transforming the Precious Metal Recovery Process Through a Business Partnership with JEPLANJEPLAN has established proprietary chemical recycling technology for polyethylene terephthalate, a type of plastic. To address the aforementioned CO₂ emissions issue, TANAKA is considering using chemical recycling in the future, in addition to the conventional precious metal recovery process through incineration. This initiative is being explored through a business partnership with JEPLAN. The materials targeted for chemical processing include plastics such as syringes and wiping cloths. CO₂ emissions from the targeted precious metal recovery process are expected to be reduced to approximately 10% of conventional levels.In addition, this process enables not only precious metal recovery, but also plastic regeneration, with TANAKA and JEPLAN each contributing to the realization of a decarbonized, circular society through their respective areas of expertise.JEPLAN, INC. ( https://www.jeplan.co.jp/en/ )Representative: Masaki Takao, Representative Director, President, and Chief Executive OfficerEstablished: January 2007Main Business: Business based and related to PET chemical recycling technology (for PET bottles, polyester), etc.The JEPLAN Group aims to realize a circular economy with its mission of "We circulate our world." We use our proprietary PET chemical recycling technology to break down waste PET (PET bottles, polyester fibers, etc.) into molecules and remove impurities, regenerating it into recycled materials of the same quality as petroleum-derived materials. Through our recycling efforts using this proprietary technology, we are realizing the recycling of limited resources and contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions.The JEPLAN Group operates PET chemical recycling plants at two locations, PET REFINE TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. (Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, for PET bottles) and Kitakyushu Hibikinada Plant (Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture, for polyester fibers), and is also promoting technology licensing in Japan and overseas.About TANAKASince its foundation in 1885, TANAKA has built a portfolio of products to support a diversified range of business uses focused on precious metals. TANAKA is a leader in Japan regarding the volume of precious metals it handles.

香港，2025年7月31日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在港股整体估值承压、市场观望情绪浓厚之际，首程控股（0697.HK）选择以实际行动回应市场。根据港交所公告，公司于2025年7月29日和30日连续两日斥资3792.93万港元，累计回购2065万股股份，成交价格区间为每股1.80至1.87港元。这已非公司首次大手笔出手。今年7月以来，公司已累计回购逾3600万股，累计金额超过6600万港元。在多数企业依旧"谨慎以对"时，首程控股的持续出手，愈发显出其底气与自信。一、回购不是"护盘"，是管理层看好自身的宣言回购是上市公司对资本市场释放的强烈信号。不同于短期的"技术性托底"，首程控股的多次主动出手，显然建立在管理层对公司长期价值的坚定判断之上。公司管理层表示："当前公司股价并未充分体现企业基本面与产业潜力，我们认为在价值严重被低估的阶段，应由公司率先出手，释放长期信心。这既是对股东负责的体现，也是我们作为一家产业型企业的担当。"公开资料显示，首程控股近年来围绕"资产运营+资产融通"双轮驱动战略，持续推进产业空间管理、公募REITs投资、智慧停车等业务版图建设，并前瞻性布局机器人与医疗科技等未来产业，产业协同与资本结构日益稳健。二、IPO预期渐近，资本兑现窗口正临近期，首程控股所投企业捷报频传。机器人领域的代表性企业宇树科技已官宣启动科创板IPO进程，作为全球领先的四足及人形机器人企业，宇树的上市预期被视作行业资本化的重要拐点。首程控股曾于2024年领投宇树科技C轮融资，并在后续的融资中给予持续支持。据公开信息来看，首程控股所管理的北京机器人产业发展投资基金位列宇树科技第八大股东，或将成为宇树科技上市最大受益方之一。同期，专注于细胞治疗与免疫工程的创新药企业艺妙神州也正式进入IPO筹备阶段，为公司在医疗科技方向的投资组合增添重要退出路径。伴随多个项目即将进入"价值兑现"周期，首程控股的持续回购不仅有利于提升市场信心，也展现出管理层对一级资产估值与二级市场股价之间错配的判断能力。三、三场大会赋能"机器人矩阵"落地除了资本层面的积极进展，公司在产业端的布局也迎来关键节点。7月底，2025世界人工智能大会（WAIC）已圆满落幕，首程控股旗下被投企业如宇树科技、松延动力、墨现科技、云深处、银河通用等集体亮相，展现了中国智能制造与具身智能的最新进展。紧接着，8月将迎来两场重磅行业盛会：2025世界机器人大会（WRC）与首届世界人形机器人运动会。作为机器人产业年度核心窗口，这两场大会不仅汇聚全球头部技术与应用团队，也将为首程控股的"机器人生态"提供大规模曝光与落地契机。据悉，首程控股旗下的宇树科技、银河通用、加速进化、松延动力、云深处等企业将参展其中，涵盖从整机研发、控制系统、仿生驱动，到实际场景落地与开发者平台等多个细分方向，充分展示"从投资布局到生态协同"的全产业链能力。在许多企业仍在等待"市场回暖"的时候，首程控股已经用连续回购的方式，向市场传递了清晰的信号。当回购不再只是价格管理手段，而是成为公司对自身发展战略的投票动作，其背后所代表的判断力、执行力和长期主义，就显得尤为稀缺。随着八月即将到来的产业窗口期，以及多项IPO推进、资本兑现预期升温，首程控股的回购，或许不仅是对眼下价值的维护，更是对未来成长的提前确认。Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

- The HKTDC returns with the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival in August, building on the initiatives in the 2024 Policy Address to help local SMEs expand into the Mainland China market through e-commerce channels- The Hong Kong Shopping Festival is the flagship event of the E-commerce Express, and has received an enthusiastic response, attracting nearly 260 brands presented by Hong Kong SMEs across seven major categories, providing them with practical opportunities to operate on key e-commerce platforms in the mainland- Fully supported by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government, Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government Paul Chan filmed a promotional video for the Hong Kong Shopping Festival.HONG KONG, July 30, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The second Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) will take place on Mainland e-commerce platforms from 1 to 31 August. Fully aligned with measures outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the festival aims to support Hong Kong's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the Hong Kong Shopping Festival has attracted nearly 260 brands across seven major categories, including health supplements, food and beverages, home and living, personal care and cosmetics, apparel and accessories, smart gadgets, and products for the silver market. The festival features over 500 unique products and offers month-long discount promotions. With the full support of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), a launch ceremony for the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival was held today. The Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government Paul Chan also filmed a promotional video for the campaign (video link: https://bit.ly/4mkvpec). Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR Government said: “Building on the great success of the first edition of the Hong Kong Shopping Festival last year, this year’s event has attracted even more brands to participate. E-commerce is a major global trend in retail development. In 2024, the cross-border e-commerce market of the Mainland with vast potential reached over RMB17 trillion, presenting a golden opportunity for Hong Kong businesses to expand. In light of this, the government has been fully supporting industry upgrading and transformation through various measures to help enterprises establish online sales channels. The Hong Kong Shopping Festival serves as an ideal platform to showcase the city's premium products to more Mainland consumers."Patrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC, said: “New consumer trends are emerging in the Mainland market, reshaping buying habits and creating tremendous opportunities for Hong Kong businesses. While Hong Kong SMEs offer high-quality products, they need to understand the local business environment and e-commerce practices to successfully enter this vast market. As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival will partner with major e-commerce and social media platforms for promotion and include a series of training sessions focused on the Mainland e-commerce market. This initiative aims to help businesses effectively tap into opportunities in Mainland e-commerce and connect with their target customers.”In November 2024, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) released a research study on the development of cross-border e-commerce for Hong Kong traders. HKTDC Director of Research, Irina Fan, said over 60% of surveyed Hong Kong businesses view the Mainland Chinese market as the most promising e-commerce market in the coming one to two years. To help Hong Kong businesses gain insights into the Mainland e-commerce market, HKTDC Research interviewed 2,200 Mainland consumers from different regions about their online shopping behavior and characteristics. Ms Fan said: “Mainland China is the world’s largest e-commerce market and has a well-developed e-commerce industry. Hong Kong businesses must gain a deep understanding of Mainland consumers’ online shopping behaviors, their preferences for Hong Kong products, and the factors they consider when choosing e-commerce platforms. Only then can they formulate appropriate business strategies and effectively capture opportunities in the Mainland e-commerce retail market.” The latest research report: Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Consumer Survey Results will be released on 7 August 2025.The Hong Kong Shopping Festival aims to help Hong Kong businesses take advantage of the large customer base and traffic on Mainland e-commerce platforms, boosting their brand and product visibility while providing practical opportunities. Last year's inaugural edition was very successful, with total views on e-commerce platforms, social media, and the event's official website exceeding 90 million. This year, the HKTDC has enhanced the programme, enabling businesses to better seize market opportunities and speed up their expansion into the Mainland market.To enhance support for Hong Kong SMEs and local brands entering the Mainland e-commerce market, this year's Hong Kong Shopping Festival has introduced thematic seminars and one-on-one consultancy services. From late 2024 to June 2025, HKTDC has successfully organised a series of training sessions led by marketing experts, who shared practical insights on topics such as cross-border e-commerce, logistics, payment tools, marketing skills, and live-stream production. Additionally, nearly 50 one-on-one consulting meetings were held, where Mainland marketing experts offered tailored e-commerce strategies to individual participating companies based on the unique characteristics of their products.This year, Discount Month and live-streaming e-commerce will return with enhanced offering. Discount Month will take place from 1 to 31 August, with all Hong Kong businesses involved in the Hong Kong Shopping Festival offering discounts of up to 75%. This initiative not only helps businesses grow but also allows consumers to buy high-quality products from Hong Kong online. The official website of Hong Kong Shopping Festival will provide event details, live-streaming schedules and information about participating brands, products and discounts. In addition, HKTDC will promote the campaign through online and offline platforms, including Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Taobao, JD and others, to boost visits to the official website and, redirect them to the SMEs’ online stores.HKTDC recently hosted the debut “Product Selection Showcase” which attracted over 40 popular KOLs and their teams from platforms like Taobao, JD.com, and Douyin to connect with participating brands offline in Hong Kong. They experienced the products firsthand, learned about the brand stories, shared highlights and live-stream previews. In early August, HKTDC’s invited Mainland key opinion leaders (KOLs), including Li Jiaqi, Lin Yilun and Hu Ke, will conduct 35 live-streaming sessions for more than 80 brands on major e-commerce platforms, in which nearly 20 live-streaming sessions will take place in Hong Kong for the first time, allowing Mainland consumers to fully experience shopping in Hong Kong. This arrangement will make live-streaming more appealing, enhance visibility for Hong Kong products and brands, and build consumer trust and interest, while providing a valuable live-streaming experience for participating businesses.Mainland online marketing strategies are diverse and multifaceted. Beyond live-streaming, there are numerous ways to enhance brand exposure. Ryan Tse, President of the Hong Kong Health Food Association, Director of Vita Green Health Products Co., Ltd., Elijandy, Founder and Director of Cross International Ltd and Jones Ng, Founder of Chiwa Digital Media Capital Group Ltd. shared valuable insights in e-commerce marketing and promotion at the launch ceremony. Artist Samantha Ko Hoi Ling talked about her experiences in live-streaming and online shopping, further enhancing the effectiveness and exposure of the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival.Hong Kong Shopping Festival: https://f1546.vrupup.com/s/1546/f/main.html#/Photo Download: http://bit.ly/3IS8gRVPatrick Lau, Deputy Executive Director, HKTDC (third from right); Ryan Tse, President of the Hong Kong Health Food Association, Director of Vita Green Health Products Co., Ltd.

HONG KONG, July 31, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Hong Kong’s equity market continues to face valuation pressure and investor sentiment remains cautious, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) has taken decisive action to respond with confidence.According to disclosures filed with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the company repurchased 20.65 million shares over two consecutive days on July 29 and 30, 2025, for a total consideration of HKD 37.93 million, with prices ranging between HKD 1.80 and HKD 1.87 per share. This is not the company’s first sizable repurchase this year. In fact, Shoucheng Holdings has repurchased over 36 million shares since July, with total capital deployed exceeding HKD 66 million.At a time when many peers remain on the sidelines, Shoucheng’s sustained repurchases highlight the strength of its conviction and capital position.1. Beyond Price Support: A Declaration of Long-Term Confidence by ManagementShare repurchases are among the most direct signals a listed company can send to the capital markets. Unlike short-term technical interventions, Shoucheng’s proactive repurchase strategy clearly reflects management’s firm belief in the company’s long-term intrinsic value.Management commented:“Our current share price does not fully reflect the company’s fundamentals and industrial potential. At a time of significant undervaluation, we believe it is our responsibility to act decisively and demonstrate long-term confidence. This reflects our accountability to shareholders and our responsibility as an industry-driven enterprise.”Public filings show that Shoucheng has been executing a dual-engine strategy focused on asset operation and asset integration, while expanding into core areas such as REITs investment, smart parking, and industrial real estate. At the same time, it is actively investing in emerging sectors such as robotics and medical technology, creating stronger synergy between capital and industry.2. IPO Pipeline in Motion: Capital Realisation Within ReachRecent developments among Shoucheng’s portfolio companies have further reinforced its long-term outlook.Leading robotics company Unitree Robotics has officially launched its STAR Market IPO process. As a global leader in quadruped and humanoid robotics, Unitree’s upcoming listing is widely viewed as a milestone in the sector’s capital market trajectory. Shoucheng led Unitree’s Series C round in 2024 and continued to participate in subsequent rounds. Based on publicly available data, Shoucheng’s managed Beijing Robotics Industry Development Fund is Unitree’s eighth largest shareholder, positioning the company to be a key beneficiary of its IPO.Meanwhile, cell therapy and immuno-engineering biotech firm IMUNOPHARM has also entered IPO preparation, strengthening Shoucheng’s pipeline of high-potential medical technology exits.With multiple portfolio companies nearing their capitalisation windows, Shoucheng’s continued repurchases not only bolster market confidence but also reflect management’s acute understanding of the disconnect between primary market valuations and secondary market pricing.3. Three Key Conferences Accelerate Robotic Ecosystem MomentumBeyond capital developments, Shoucheng’s industrial strategy is approaching a critical point.In late July, the 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) successfully concluded. Several of Shoucheng’s portfolio companies, including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, DEEP Robotics, Galbot and Matrix showcased their latest advances in intelligent manufacturing and embodied AI.Looking ahead to August, two major robotics events are set to follow: the 2025 World Robot Conference (WRC) and the inaugural World Humanoid Robot Games. As premier global platforms, these events are expected to accelerate industry recognition and application for Shoucheng’s growing robotics ecosystem.Companies under Shoucheng’s portfolio—Unitree, Galbot, Booster Robotics, Noetix, and DEEP Robotics—will participate across key domains, from full-system R&D, control software, and bio-inspired actuators to real-world deployment and developer ecosystems. This reflects Shoucheng’s full-chain capabilities from early-stage investment to platform-level industrial enablement.While many companies remain cautious, waiting for a full market rebound, Shoucheng has already taken proactive steps to communicate its confidence.

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 31, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito,“Eisai”) and Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB, Corporate headquarters: Cambridge, Massachusetts, CEO: Christopher A.Viehbacher, “Biogen”) announced today that the two-year real-world study in the U.S of lecanemab (generic name, product name: LEQEBMI®), an anti-AB protofibril* antibody, was presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) 2025, held in Toronto, Canada and virtually. Only lecanemab fights AD in two ways– targeting both amyloid plaque and protofibrils*, which can impact tau downstream.Lecanemab received traditional approval in the U.S. in July 2023 for the treatment of early Alzheimer's disease (AD). This retrospective study was conducted to investigate the actual state of real-world clinical treatment with lecanemabat 15 medical centers in the U.S., with a final report scheduled for late in the third quarter of Eisai’s fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. This presentation serves as an interim report as of July 1, 2025.Patient Baseline and Actual Treatment Situation The interim study collected information on 178 people living with early AD from nine US medical centers using a standardized case report format. The disease stage of the patients at baseline was mild cognitive impairment (MCI) due to AD in 57.6% and mild AD in 42.4%. The average age of the patients was 74.2 (±6.6) years, and the ratio of men to women was 44.6 to 55.4.The mean duration of lecanemab treatment was 375.4 days (± 182.8 days). The mean time from diagnosis to first treatment was 224.2 days (± 295.4 days) and the mean number of lecanemab treatments was 24.8 (± 11.5). At the time of case reporting, 87.4% of patients (152 patients) were continuing treatment with lecanemab. Adverse events leading to discontinuation of treatment included ARIA-E (ARIA-edema/exudation) in two patients (1.1%), ARIA-H(ARIA-cerebral microbleeds, cerebral hemorrhage and superficial hemosiderin deposition) in two patients (1.1%),and concomitant ARIA-E and ARIA-H in one patient (0.6%). Three patients (1.7%) discontinued due to adverse events other than ARIA. In addition, 11 patients (6.3%) reported discontinuing the treatment for personal reasons or at the discretion of their doctor or the individual.In this study, 83.6% of patients either remained at the same clinical stage or improved from mild dementia to MCI (stable: 76.9%, improvement: 6.7%). Additionally, at time of interim data cut, 86.7% of patients who had received 40 or more doses over 18 months remained stable or showed clinical improvement (stable: 66.7%,improvement: 20.0%:).Of the 178 patients, ARIA was observed in 23 (12.9%). 14 (7.9%) were observed to have ARIA-E, of which 12(6.7%) were asymptomatic. ARIA-H was present in 11 patients (6.2%), all of whom were asymptomatic. Infusion reactions were observed in four patients (2.2%). Additionally, no serious bleeding events or deaths were reported. Impact of APOE4 Status Of the 178 patients in this study, 12 were excluded with unknown status. Among the remaining 166 patients,30 (18.1%) were APOE 4 homozygotes, 84 (49.4%) were heterozygotes, 54 (32.5%) were non-carriers. Generally, the proportion of homozygotes among people with AD is thought to be 15% or more.The incidence of ARIA was 20.0%, 9.8% and 14.8% in homozygous carriers, heterozygous carriers and noncarriers, respectively (45.0%, 19.0% and 13.0% respectively in the Phase 3 Clarity AD 18-month core study). The incidence rate of ARIA-E and ARIA-H were 13.3% and 10.0%, respectively (32.6% and 39.0% in the Clarity AD core study), which is within the FDA-approved label range. The majority of ARIA cases (0.13%) were asymptomatic. The incidence of adverse events leading to discontinuation was 16.7% in homozygous carriers,2.4% in heterozygous carriers and 5.6% in non-carriers.73.3% of homozygote patients’ clinical stage remained stable or improved (stable: 66.6%, improved: 6.7%),88.0% of heterozygotes patients’ clinical stage remained stable or improved (stable: 83.0%, improved: 4.9%)and 85.2% of non-carrier patients’ clinical stage remained stable or improved (stable: 75.9%, improved: 9.3%).Utilization of Blood-Based Biomarkers (BBMs)BBMs are being developed in AD to identify brain AB pathology and are intended for use in prescreening (triage)and confirmatory diagnosis. Of the 178 patients in this study, 49 patients (27.5%) were diagnosed using BBMs. In some of these cases (11 patients, 6.1%), it was also used for confirmatory diagnosis. Data collected from clinical practices showed the volume of tests doubling every 4 to 8 months, with BBMs using p-tau217 growing most rapidly.Satisfaction with Lecanemab Treatment The results of a physician, patient and care partner lecanemab satisfaction survey was presented. The survey was based on questionnaires and interviews with nine U.S. physicians and evaluated treatment from multiple perspectives, including efficacy, safety and quality of life (QOL).In the physicians’ evaluation, the average satisfaction level for the treatment efficacy and safety (out of 10) was8.7. The scoring criteria included: cognition 8.1, daily function 8.1, behavioral/neuropsychiatric symptoms 7.9and QOL 8.0. The satisfaction level of the patients as assessed by physicians was 8.8, and that of the care partners was 8.2. These results highlight the favorable evaluation of lecanemab’s efficacy and safety in real world clinical practice and reinforce its therapeutic value.Note: Retrospective real-world studies can be very valuable in providing additional information to complement clinical trial data. However, there may have several limitations to keep in mind:Potential for BiasesData Completeness and ConsistencyData may be collected inconsistently since data collection is completed by different people at independent3 sites.* Mitigation: Data inconsistency is pursued by providing site access to standardized electronic case-report forms.Lack of Control GroupInterpretation of data may be limited since real-world studies do not utilize placebo-controlled armsConfounding VariablesConfounding variables are not controllable, which may impact the relationship between the exposure and outcome.Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally with both companies co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.* Protofibrils are thought to be the most toxic AB species that contribute to brain damage in AD and play a major role in the cognitive decline of this progressive and devastating disease. Protofibrils can cause neuronal and synaptic damage in the brain, which can subsequently adversely affect cognitive function through multiple mechanisms.1 The mechanism by which this occurs has been reported not only by increasing the formation of insoluble AB plaques, but also by directly damaging signaling between neurons and other cells. It is believed that reducing protofibrils may reduce neuronal damage and cognitive impairment, potentially preventing the progression of AD.2For more details, please visit: https://www.eisai.com/news/2025/pdf/enews202552pdf.pdfMEDIA CONTACTSEisai Co., Ltd.Public Relations DepartmentTEL: +81 (0)3-3817-5120Eisai Europe, Ltd.EMEA Communications Department+44 (0) 797 487 9419Emea-comms@eisai.netEisai Inc.
