Focus Graphite Officially Commences Government-Supported Thermal Purification Project to Establish Dual-Use Graphite Production in Canada

$14.1M NRCan-Funded Program Begins with Six-Tonne Bulk Sample to Produce 500 kg High-Purity Graphite for Reactor Engineering and Product ValidationOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 2, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has shipped a six-tonne bulk ore sample from its 100%-owned Lac Knife Graphite Project ("Lac Knife" or the "Project") to SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") in Lakefield, Ontario, officially commencing pilot-scale processing under its Natural Resources Canada ("NRCan") funded demonstration program. The program is designed to produce approximately five hundred (500) kilograms of graphite concentrate to support downstream thermal purification, final reactor engineering, and product validation initiatives.The six-tonne sample will undergo crushing, blending, head assays and metallurgical benchmarking prior to pilot-scale processing. SGS will operate a batch pilot flotation circuit to generate high-grade graphite concentrate targeting approximately 95% graphitic carbon. Final concentrate will be dried and screened into size fractions suitable for subsequent purification testing. The Company anticipates that concentrate will be produced and shipped to its technology partner, Thermal & Material Engineer Center ("TMEC"), within approximately eight to nine weeks to support the commencement of final reactor design work, with the balance of the three-month program consisting primarily of data compilation and reporting activities.As previously announced on December 8, 2025, the Company formalized a funding agreement for up to $14.1 million in non-repayable contributions under NRCan's Global Partnerships Initiative ("GPI"). The Honourable Tim Hodgson, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources said, "As global demand for critical minerals accelerates, Canada is ready to lead. Focus Graphite's work at Lac Knife shows how we can build a fully Canadian value chain-from resource to high-purity graphite-and strengthen our economic security in the process. Advancing pilot-scale processing here at home supports good jobs, attracts investment and reinforces Canada's position as a trusted supplier in a changing world."Claude Guay, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, added, "Today's progress at Lac Knife shows how Canadian companies are translating ambition into action. By advancing pilot-scale processing here in Canada, Focus Graphite is helping build the downstream capacity that supports good jobs, strengthens regional economies and positions Canada to supply the advanced materials our partners rely on."Richard Pearce, Technical Advisor to Focus, stated, "SGS Lakefield is a globally recognized leader in mineral processing and pilot-scale metallurgical testing and has extensive familiarity with the Lac Knife flowsheet. This bulk sample program represents a key milestone as we advance Lac Knife toward vertically integrated, high-purity graphite production in Canada. Generating pilot-scale concentrate materially de-risks scale-up and accelerates our pathway toward commercial demonstration."The concentrate generated through this program will serve two primary strategic objectives. Material shipped to TMEC will support final engineering, detailed design optimization and preparation of construction-level specifications for the Company's thermal purification plant reactor, representing a critical step toward fabrication and demonstration-scale production. In parallel, a portion of the concentrate will be retained for customer qualification and product validation initiatives, enabling engagement with potential end users across battery, defence, and advanced materials sectors. Together, these workstreams advance Focus' objective of establishing an integrated, Canadian supply chain pathway from resource to high-purity graphite product.High-purity graphite is an essential material used in lithium-ion batteries, energy storage systems, advanced defense applications and high-technology manufacturing. Establishing domestic production capacity for graphite concentrate and purification is increasingly viewed as strategically important for supply chain security, advanced manufacturing competitiveness and energy transition objectives.In parallel with metallurgical testing, Focus has conducted site visits to multiple potential host facilities in Quebec and Ontario for installation of its planned thermal purification demonstration plant. The Company is actively evaluating existing industrial infrastructure, utilities access, logistics networks and permitting pathways as it advances final reactor design in collaboration with its technology partner.The Company will provide further updates as pilot-scale processing progresses and as additional milestones are achieved.Qualified PersonThe technical content disclosed in this news release was reviewed and approved by Richard Pearce, PE, President of Brasil Insight Capital LLC., a consultant to the Company, and a qualified person as defined under National Instrument NI 43-101.About Focus Graphite Advanced Materials Inc.

AI Safety Asia Advances Crisis Diplomacy and Evidence-Based AI Governance at India AI Impact Summit 2026

HONG KONG, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, AI Safety Asia (AISA) convened two important conversations on the future of AI governance. The first examined how governments should respond when AI-related crises unfold across borders at machine speed. The second marking the launch of the International AI Safety Report 2026.Taken together, these sessions showed a change in the debate; moving past whether AI should be governed to a focus on how.Who verifies claims made by powerful systems? Who coordinates when an incident crosses jurisdictions in seconds? Who is responsible when an autonomous system acts, and no single ministry appears in charge? As AI systems become more agentic and embedded deeper into critical infrastructure, they are forcing diplomatic and regulatory institutions to respond in real time. The pressure on diplomatic and regulatory institutions is no longer just a theory, it is operational.Governing AI in a Fragmented WorldOn 17 February at Bharat Mandapam, AISA co-hosted the session "AI Crisis Diplomacy: Governing AI in a Fragmented World" in partnership with the Center for Human-Compatible AI (CHAI) and the International Association for Safe and Ethical Artificial Intelligence (IASEAI).The session brought together senior experts in the space; Professor Stuart Russell, Audrey Tang, Dr. Yuko Harayama, Wan Sie Lee, and Azizjon Azimi, moderated by AISA's Chief Strategy Officer, Adjunct Professor Alejandro Reyes.Rather than rehearse abstract debates about regulation, the discussion focused on plausible crisis scenarios: a cross-border deepfake incident that destabilises diplomatic relations before verification catches up; an AI-enabled cyberattack cascading across jurisdictions; an autonomous infrastructure system operating in one country, hosted in another, and affecting a third.The problem is not only detection. It is coordination under uncertainty.The familiar argument that AI evolves too quickly to regulate was put under scrutiny. The pace of innovation does not make governance obsolete. Aviation, nuclear energy, and pharmaceuticals are governed by setting acceptable risk thresholds and requiring evidence that systems meet them. AI should be treated no differently. Governments need to insist on demonstrable safety and credible liability frameworks, rather than accepting disclaimers and opaque risk claims.Governments already know how to cooperate during crises. Pandemic response and cybersecurity have shown that cross-border coordination is possible. The gap in AI governance is not diplomatic architecture in principle, but operational channels between those responsible for technical evaluation. Joint testing efforts are not only about measuring model performance. They build trust, and trust is what allows regulators to pick up the phone, compare signals, and verify before escalation spirals.AI does not create entirely new categories of crisis, but amplifies existing ones. What changes is speed and scale. Human institutions deliberate; AI systems act, and bridging that gap requires new protocols, shared verification standards, and regular engagement long before a crisis forces coordination under pressure.Governance capacity matters, and durable infrastructure outperforms isolated interventions. Crisis diplomacy cannot be improvised, it must be built through trusted networks, regionally grounded expertise, and repeat engagement.The Evidence Dilemma and the 2026 International AI Safety ReportOn 18 February, AISA co-hosted the International AI Safety Report 2026 Launch Reception at the High Commission of Canada in India, in partnership with the High Commission, the UK AI Security Institute, and Mila - Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute.The event featured Professor Yoshua Bengio, Chair of the Report and Founder and Scientific Advisor of Mila, supported by co-leads Carina Prunkl and Stephen Clare.The report provides an independent scientific assessment of frontier general-purpose AI capabilities and risks; focusing on emerging risks, including malicious use, autonomous malfunctions, and systemic disruption, and confronts the evidence dilemma. Policymakers must act under conditions of uncertainty, yet waiting for perfect data runs the risk of leaving societies exposed.The Report documents rapid advances in reasoning systems and AI agents, as well as continued reliability challenges, risks in cyber and bio domains, and growing systemic concern; underscoring that risk management cannot rely on a single safeguard. Technical measures, institutional oversight, and societal resilience must be layered.The choice is not between innovation and safety, it is between unmanaged acceleration and accountable progress. Evidence standards, robust evaluations, and credible thresholds are essential if public trust is to keep pace with technical capability.For countries across Asia and the broader Global South, the issue is how to shape governance frameworks that reflect local institutional realities while contributing to global norms. AISA's mission is to ensure that regional expertise informs both national decisions and international debates.From Conversation to CapacityAI governance is not a single regulatory instrument. It is an evolving institutional practice. The next phase will be defined less by declarations and more by whether governments can verify claims, share information at speed, and operationalise coordination before crises escalate.Asia is not waiting for governance models to arrive from elsewhere. Across the region, policymakers, regulators, and technical experts are building their own capacity to govern frontier technologies responsibly, shaped by local realities and regional priorities. The next AI-driven crisis will not unfold on a diplomatic timetable; it will move at machine speed. Whether diplomacy and safety can keep up will depend on the institutions, relationships, and verification channels being built now, not after the fact.About AI Safety AsiaAI Safety Asia (AISA) believes progress in AI must begin with people. Since 2024, AISA has engaged more than 2,000 AI governance professionals across 16 Asian countries. Its work centres on building durable governance infrastructure: research that is regionally grounded, structured peer learning, and implementation-oriented engagement.AISA helps build capacity, bringing together policymakers, experts, and civil society to strengthen the knowledge, networks, and trust required to govern frontier technologies responsibly, grounded in regional realities. The institutions and relationships built today will determine whether diplomacy and safety can keep up.Social LinkLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ai-safety-asia/Media ContactBrand: AI Safety AsiaContact: Media teamWebsite: https://www.aisafety.asia Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The Tomorrow Company Launches With a Bold Mandate to Build the Infrastructure Layer of the AI-Native Financial Era.

Vancouver, BC, Mar 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Tomorrow Company (“TMRW”) today announced the completion of its strategic merger with Carbon Distributed Technologies AG (“CUT”) and Plato Technologies Inc., forming an integrated Web3 infrastructure platform positioned at the convergence of artificial intelligence, tokenized real-world assets, and programmable climate markets.The Company is launching with a clear conviction: the next decade of value creation in digital finance will belong to those who build and own infrastructure — not interfaces. Systems that are programmable. Intelligence that is embedded. Assets that are verifiable. Rails that institutions can scale on.Global markets are entering a structural transformation. Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming embedded into capital allocation, enterprise operations, and regulatory oversight. Digital assets are evolving from trading vehicles into programmable utility frameworks capable of moving value instantly and transparently. Climate accountability is moving from narrative commitments to measurable, auditable instrumentation.The Tomorrow Company is designed to operate at the intersection of these structural shifts — and to grow with them. The merger unites two powerful and complementary platforms.CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG contributes a tokenized carbon utility framework structured around verifiability, traceability, and retirement mechanics. Built within Liechtenstein’s Blockchain Act framework and deployed on Ethereum Mainnet, CUT’s model emphasizes measurable CO₂ reduction linkage and immutable audit trails across issuance, transfer, and retirement. As regulators, institutions, and global enterprises demand higher standards of disclosure and impact validation, programmable carbon infrastructure becomes foundational to next-generation capital markets.Paul Thomson, Co-Founder of CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG, commented:“Tokenized commodities are moving from intention to instrumentation. For tokenized carbon credits, what matters now is verifiability—traceable assets, defensible controls, and retirement mechanics that stand up to real scrutiny. By integrating into The Tomorrow Company’s broader infrastructure platform, we believe we can accelerate adoption and bring institutional-grade carbon instrumentation to global markets.”Complementing this climate utility layer is Plato Technologies Inc., which brings an AI-driven intelligence engine purpose-built to convert fragmented global data into deployable, decision-ready workflows. Plato’s vertically focused intelligence products are designed for repeat enterprise usage and global distribution, with an operating discipline centered on scalable infrastructure and cost efficiency.Bryan Feinberg, CEO and Founder of Plato Technologies Inc., stated:“AI is only transformative when it moves from insight to execution. This merger connects measurable data verticals with a distribution-driven intelligence engine designed to operate at scale. The opportunity ahead is not incremental — it is to embed AI directly into the infrastructure layer of emerging digital markets.”The Tomorrow Company is structured as a diversified Web3 infrastructure holding platform with multiple reinforcing value engines. The strategy extends beyond a single asset class or vertical. Leadership intends to expand tokenized asset frameworks beyond carbon into additional real-world asset categories where verifiability and programmability unlock new liquidity. The Company plans to accelerate the deployment of vertical AI intelligence products across sectors where data fragmentation creates inefficiencies. It also intends to pursue selective acquisitions and integrations aligned with durable utility, regulatory alignment, and institutional capital flows.Management believes that over the coming years, the convergence of AI and tokenization will redefine how capital is raised, allocated, verified, and measured. Markets will increasingly reward platforms that can demonstrate programmable accountability, embedded intelligence, and infrastructure resilience. TMRW’s long-term objective is to build a compounding portfolio of infrastructure assets that operate beneath market cycles — generating value through adoption, integration, and scale rather than volatility.The Company’s growth roadmap includes expanding institutional partnerships, deepening blockchain-native infrastructure capabilities, and deploying AI systems that integrate directly into financial and enterprise workflows. As tokenized real-world assets and AI-native markets expand globally, The Tomorrow Company aims to position itself as a foundational infrastructure layer — enabling new asset classes, accelerating measurable climate action, and embedding intelligence into digital capital flows.This launch represents the beginning of an expansion strategy, not its culmination. The leadership of The Tomorrow Company believes that the coming cycle will see a dramatic re-rating of infrastructure-layer platforms that combine regulatory alignment, programmable assets, and deployable AI systems. TMRW is entering the market with the ambition to help define that category.About The Tomorrow CompanyThe Tomorrow Company is a Web3 infrastructure and digital asset holding company focused on building foundational rails for the AI-native financial era. Through strategic acquisitions, tokenized utility frameworks, and vertically deployable intelligence products, TMRW seeks to architect scalable systems designed for institutional-grade adoption and long-term compounding growth.About CUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AGCUT Carbon Distributed Technologies AG operates CUT.eco, a tokenized carbon utility platform focused on verification, traceability, and transparent retirement mechanics under Liechtenstein’s blockchain regulatory framework.About Plato Technologies Inc.Plato Technologies Inc. develops AI-powered, vertically focused intelligence products designed to transform aggregated global data into deployable workflows and scalable Web3 AI capabilities.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements relating to anticipated strategic benefits, expansion initiatives, market opportunities, and future performance.

Unisound U1-OCR: The First Industrial-Grade Document Intelligence Foundation Model, Ushering in the OCR 3.0 Era

BEIJING, Feb 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Feb 26, Unisound has officially launched its Unisound U1-OCR, the world's first industrial-grade foundation model for document intelligence, a groundbreaking release that ushers in the OCR 3.0 era and sets a new industry standard with five core strengths: SOTA performance, verifiable results, out-of-the-box functionality, efficient deployment, and robust adaptability.Document intelligence leverages AI to automatically read, understand, classify digitized documents and extract key information. OCR 1.0 only enabled basic text recognition, while OCR 2.0 added preliminary layout understanding capabilities. U1-OCR takes a quantum leap to OCR 3.0, moving far beyond layout recognition to deliver deep semantic insight, automatic document classification and business-level information extraction—marking a transformative shift from "character perception" to "document cognition".As a SOTA-level document intelligence model, U1-OCR resolves the longstanding bottleneck of traditional models that "recognize text but fail to grasp layout", enabling it to interpret complex documents like human experts. It pioneers a "semantic-driven + dynamic focus" strategy, first mapping a document's hierarchical structure of headings and structural metadata before extracting content on demand, and builds a semantic map to identify the relationship between titles, charts and text—even in disorganized layouts. Its enhanced spatial alignment module leverages positional data to accurately restore document structure for dense tables and mixed text-image content, effectively mitigating spatial recognition errors. Equipped with Multi-Token Prediction technology and full-task reinforcement learning, it boosts reasoning efficiency by over 80%, ensuring logical coherence for long documents.Trained with multi-task collaborative reinforcement learning and optimized for both semantics and coordinates, U1-OCR suppresses spatial hallucinations for reliable outputs, and achieves SOTA results across major authoritative benchmarks: scoring 95.1 in OmniDocBench V1.5, outperforming leading models like GLM-OCR and Gemini-3-Pro; hitting an F1 score of 90.8 in D4LA and 95.9 in DocLayNet, excelling in table recognition and cross-page association; and outperforming models such as Gemini-2.5-Flash and Qwen-2.5-VL in internal business tests, with standout performance in medical document processing such as admission and discharge records.Figure: Comparison of Unisound U1-OCR Evaluation Scores on OmniDocBench V1.5Built for real-world industrial applications, U1-OCR features four key capabilities that bridge the gap between document understanding and business action. Its proprietary "coordinate-text-semantics" architecture enables pixel-level positioning and full evidence traceability, making audit processes transparent and efficient. Integrated with Unisound's industry expertise in healthcare and finance, it achieves over 99% classification accuracy for more than 50 common business documents, supporting cross-field logical verification with zero-shot capabilities. It supports private on-premise and offline deployment while delivering highly efficient document processing, meeting strict data privacy requirements for government, healthcare, and finance sectors while lowering hardware costs. Most notably, it delivers stable, high-precision performance in extreme scenarios—including non-standard photos, blurred documents, complex formatting and multilingual text—freeing businesses from reliance on standardized document formats.Validated in real-world use cases, U1-OCR enables visual traceability of extracted information, automatic classification of mixed documents, performing intelligent image purification for cluttered layouts, and accurate recognition of complex nested tables with full structural retention.The launch of U1-OCR marks AI's evolution from simple text recognition to business logic comprehension, a key step for Unisound toward AGI. By taking multimodal documents as a knowledge entry point, Unisound is empowering machines with autonomous reasoning and evidence traceability capabilities, driving AI from perceptual intelligence to cognitive intelligence—with the vision to build a general intelligent agent that reads, thinks and solves complex problems like humans, turning every document into a stepping stone to AGI.CONTACT: june@intelligentjoy.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

These historic estimates are disclosed solely for context and have not been verified by a current Qualified Person. The historic estimates do not conform to current NI 43-101 standards, are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and should not be relied upon. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating the historic estimates as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.Previous operators including Echo Bay Mines reported estimates in the range of 400,000 to 500,000 tons at grades of approximately 0.3 opt (9.33 g/t) gold in certain zones. The mine historically produced approximately 400,000 to 500,000 ounces of gold during intermittent operations through 1992.2026 Exploration Objectives:Casa's 2026 program at Congress aims to:Conduct systematic drilling to bring the project and its extended potential mineralization to NI 43-101 compliant resource standardsBuild upon the Company's confirmatory drill programs that have validated portions of the historic dataDefine a clear pathway for rapid resource definition and project advancementExpand exploration in priority target areas identified through compilation of historic data and recent drillingThe Company's confirmatory drilling to date, combined with extensive historic data compilation, has established a framework for systematic resource delineation in accordance with modern standards.ARSENAULT PROJECT UPDATEThe Arsenault copper-gold-silver project in northern British Columbia has advanced significantly following the completion of a state-of-the-art 3D Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey in 2025.2025 3D IP Survey Results:The recently completed 3D ground-based IP survey has generated compelling geophysical signatures that management, with extensive experience in similar geological settings, considers highly prospective. Key highlights include:Significant chargeability anomalies indicating potential sulphide mineralizationThree-dimensional geophysical signatures with substantial scale and continuityStrong correlation with previous airborne electromagnetic survey results from 2017Multiple high-priority drill targets identifiedThe IP survey covered approximately 12 square kilometers with 60 km of survey lines utilizing high-density data acquisition with state-of-the-art instrumentation.2026 Exploration Plans:Detailed exploration planning is underway for both properties. The Company anticipates releasing comprehensive technical details and specific program parameters for the Congress and Arsenault projects in follow-up news releases as planning is finalized.MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY"Casa is well-positioned to capitalize on the strengthening commodities market with two highly prospective projects at different stages of advancement," stated Farshad Shirvani, President and CEO. "At Congress, we have a clear path forward to define resources to modern standards on a historically productive gold system. At Arsenault, our recent geophysical work has identified compelling drill targets with signatures our team has successfully followed to discovery in similar settings. We look forward to an active 2026 field season across both properties."QUALIFIED PERSONMr. Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo., a Director and Chief Geologist of the Company, a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical disclosure in this news release.ABOUT CASA MINERALS INC.Casa Minerals Inc. is a mineral exploration company focused on gold, copper, and strategic minerals exploration in North America.

Champion REIT Delivers Resilient Performance, Proactive Tenant Mix Optimisation Drives Sustainable Development

HONG KONG, Feb 25, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Champion Real Estate Investment Trust (Stock Code: 2778), which owns Three Garden Road and Langham Place properties, announced its annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025.HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2025 ANNUAL RESULTS- Improved macro environment with gradual recovery in property market confidence: Benefiting from the recovery in capital markets, tourism rebound and interest rate drop, market sentiment improved in 2025, laying the foundation for commercial property recovery.- Portfolio resilience maintained: Despite the challenging operating environment with abundant office supply and shifting consumer behaviour, the Trust maintained stable occupancy rates for both office and retail properties, with Langham Place Mall maintaining a high occupancy rate of 99.3%.- Capital market recovery drives an upturn in Central office leasing activity: Leasing momentum at Three Garden Road warmed up in the second half of 2025 with site inspections increasing by 61% year-on-year. Over 75% of leases expiring in 2026 have been renewed ahead of maturity.- Proactive tenant-mix management and IP-led strategy reinforce trendsetting positioning: In 2025, Langham Place Mall strengthened its trendsetting credentials by introducing a range of trendy and lifestyle brands. Newly introduced tenants achieved sales 80% higher than previous operators, while pop-up stores tied to major marketing campaigns delivered triple-digit sales growth.- Langham Place Office Tower continues to elevate its market competitiveness: The property deepened its premier wellness hub positioning through the "6D Wellness" channel, achieving 4.6 million cumulative social media views, and pioneered Hong Kong's inaugural "Quality Service Charter" with support from over 90% of wellness tenants, further strengthening its position as an industry-leading wellness centre.- Prudent financial management: All debt facilities maturing in 2025 were successfully refinanced, and HK$1.5 billion of banking facilities have been secured for early refinancing debt due in 2026. And lower average Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (“HIBOR”) in 2025 resulted in meaningful interest savings.Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, “2026 marks the 20th anniversary of Champion REIT, signifying an important milestone in the Trust's evolution from a single Central Grade A office asset to a diversified portfolio of landmark properties. In a challenging market environment, the Trust continues to demonstrate business resilience through prudent asset management and flexible strategic direction. Our consistent management focus is clear and targeted: while maintaining occupancy rates and enhancing income quality, we ensure financial stability. Over the past year, the Trust has made substantial progress in all these areas. Through proactive and orderly financial management, we ensure the Trust operates steadily through the current cycle."She added, "As new Central Grade A office supply is gradually absorbed by the market, supply-demand conditions are expected to stabilise from 2027 onwards. Champion REIT has established favourable conditions to capture future market recovery opportunities. Looking ahead, we will continue to play the role of ‘Super Connector’ and ‘Super Value-Adder’, fostering collaboration among tenants, partners and the community, combining innovative thinking with rigorous execution to create sustainable long-term value for stakeholders across different market environments.”Summary of financial results FY 2025FY 2024ChangeTotal Rental Income (HK$ million)1,9882,185- 9.0%Net Property Income (HK$ million)1,6131,820- 11.4%Distributable Income (HK$ million)859958- 10.4%Distribution per Unit (HK$)0.12630.1422- 11.2%  31 Dec 202531 Dec 2024ChangeGross Value of Portfolio (HK$ million)56,17960,104- 6.5%Net Asset Value per Unit (HK$)6.457.16- 9.9%Gearing Ratio25.4%23.7%+ 1.7 pp OPERATING REVIEWMarket OverviewDespite ongoing global macroeconomic volatility arising from trade uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, market sentiment in Hong Kong rebounded solidly in 2025. The recovery was supported by a strengthening stock market, steady growth in inbound tourism and an increasing number of mega-events. These improvements were further underpinned by a considerable decline in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate ("HIBOR"), which boosted homeowner disposable income and lowered corporate borrowing costs.However, the operating environment for the Trust remained challenging. Abundant office supply in the market continued to weigh on market rents, while the retail market is undergoing structural adjustment due to evolving consumer behaviour and a sustained increase in outbound travel by local residents. Against this backdrop, asset quality becomes even more critical, underscoring the importance of proactively optimising the tenant mix to navigate cyclical volatility.Three Garden RoadThe leasing momentum of Central Grade A office strengthened starting the third quarter of 2025 with increasing net absorption. Demand was supported by the upswing in initial public offerings ("IPOs") and solid equity market performance with higher daily turnover. Expansion and pre-leasing commitment of sizable areas by financial institutions signalled confidence in the market outlook. The active capital market activities also created spillover effect for other sectors with notable leasing transactions of relocation and expansion from the legal sector in particular.Leasing activity at Three Garden Road strengthened in 2025. Site inspections in second half of 2025 increased by 61% year-on-year, resulting in several new tenants from the asset management and family office sectors. Occupancy remained stable at 81.6% (31 December 2024: 82.6%), with space vacated by departing occupants largely backfilled by new leases and expansions from existing tenants. Our proactive retention strategy continued to deliver results, securing renewals for over 75% of 2026 expiring leases, thereby enhancing stability and forward visibility.Langham Place Office TowerLangham Place Office continued to deepen its differentiated positioning as a premier hub for wellness and lifestyle offerings. By expanding the “6D Wellness” ecosystem, the property enhanced tenant engagement and broadened its digital reach, with the wellness channel surpassing 4.6 million cumulative views across major social media platforms. With the launch of the Social Wellness Hall, and in collaboration with the Hong Kong Retail Management Association to introduce Hong Kong’s first “Quality Service Charter” for wellness practitioners, which received support from over 90% of wellness tenants, the property further strengthened its market profile as a premium hub for wellness services.Amid a challenging office market, Langham Place Office Tower adopted a prudent yet proactive leasing strategy, continuing to attract healthcare, medical and beauty operators while fostering industry clustering and complementarities. These efforts enhanced the diversity and resilience of the tenant mix, further reinforcing the property’s positioning as a leading destination for premium wellness and healthcare services. It remains a premier choice for location-sensitive businesses, maintaining a stable occupancy rate of 86.9% (31 December 2024: 87.2%).Langham Place MallHong Kong’s retail market began to recover and gain momentum following the Golden Week in May in 2025. Supported by the influx of visitors and a vibrant calendar of mega-events, total retail sales resumed growth after more than a year of contraction. For the full year, overall retail sales in Hong Kong increased by 1.0% year-on-year, driven primarily by a 12.8% rise in online sales. Against the backdrop of evolving consumer patterns, overall sales at Langham Place Mall saw a mild adjustment. Nevertheless, proactive tenant-mix optimisation delivered strong results, with the lifestyle category recording double-digit sales growth.Marking the 20th anniversary of its opening, Langham Place Mall strengthened both leasing and marketing efforts during the year. More than 30 new brands were introduced, including the first overseas branch of Chiikawa Ramen Buta, which generated significant attention and successfully boosted footfall. Upholding the spirit of “WOW! WE PLAY”, the mall continued to advance its “Stay Local, Trend Global” strategy, leveraging year-round promotional campaigns and anniversary celebrations to reinforce its leadership position as a trendsetting retail destination. Occupancy remained high at 99.3%.New tenants surpassed previous operators by an average of 80% in sales, while pop-up stores tied to major marketing campaigns achieved triple-digit sales growth, reflecting the strong synergy between brand partnerships and content-driven activations. In addition, the introduction of themed experiences and designer events on Levels 9 to 12 successfully revitalised historically lower-traffic floors, stimulating cross-floor spending, enhancing spatial efficiency, and generating incremental non-traditional revenue. These initiatives have enabled the mall to demonstrate sustained resilience and competitiveness amid a rapidly evolving retail landscape.SustainabilityThe Trust continued to embed sustainability deeply into its asset management strategy, with a strong focus on environmental stewardship, health and well-being, and community engagement.
