能源管理進入智能體時代 思格發佈行業首個全域AI智能體SigenAgent

上海, 2026年5月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 思格新能源舉辦全球戰略發佈會,正式面向全球推出能源行業首個全域AI智能體--SigenAgent。本次發佈會以「AI in All」為主題,重新定義了AI與新能源融合的未來範式:光儲系統正從「一問一答」的對話助手,跨越為「使命必達」的自動執行者。思格新能源董事長、CEO許映童在發佈會上表示:「新能源系統越來越複雜,用戶的用電場景和需求也各不相同,AI與能源的融合因此成為必然。真正的AI不只是陪你聊天的助手,而是一個能聽懂你的目標、替你幹活、並且會不斷學習的夥伴。」行業破局:從「會發電」到「會用電」,複雜系統呼喚AI躍遷過去十年,光伏產業徹底改變了全球發電的格局。如今,能源系統正經歷一場從「以發電為主」轉向「以用電為核心」的深刻變革,光伏配儲能也逐漸從「選配」走向「標配」。然而,光儲融合的高速發展疊加全球高度個性化的應用場景,正將系統複雜度推向人工管理的極限。在德國、波蘭等歐洲市場,用戶不得不時刻緊盯稍縱即逝的「負電價窗口」以優化收益;在澳洲,日內電價的劇烈波動對系統響應速度提出嚴苛要求;而在中國廣闊的工商業園區,企業既要精細化追求峰谷套利,又需時刻警惕需量電費帶來的「隱形賬單」。與此同時,全球安裝商同樣面臨設備數量增加、客戶場景日益多元的挑戰--面對不同市場、不同用戶和不同運行策略,日常參數配置、故障定位與系統調優都變得愈發複雜。在思格新能源看來,AI正是破解複雜能源系統管理難題的關鍵答案。體系升維:從大模型到智能體,四大角色協同使命必達作為發佈會的核心亮點,SigenAgent的正式揭幕標誌著新能源行業邁入「AI智能體時代」。與傳統大模型「一問一答、推一步動一步」的被動交互不同,SigenAgent的顛覆之處在於「使命必達」。談及運作邏輯,許映童將其概括為一句話:「用戶定目標,AI來思考,設備去執行。」這顆聰明的大腦擁有「感知-思考-行動-再感知」的完整閉環:它能讀懂用戶的宏觀目標指令,綜合感知天氣、電價、電網與系統狀態,借助大模型推理出最佳執行路徑,直接下發指令到每一台設備,並持續追蹤結果進行動態調整。它不是按一次按鈕跑一次的死板程序,而是一個會自我迭代、愈用愈懂用戶的自進化生命體。為精准覆蓋從家庭到企業的全場景能源管理,SigenAgent首發即派出四位核心成員組成的「全能專家團隊」:私人能源管家--讓家庭光儲進入「自動駕駛」時代。用戶無需研究複雜參數,也不必反復切換操作界面,只需提出節省電費、提升自發自用率、保障備電等目標,系統便會結合家庭負載、光伏發電、電池狀態與電價規則,自動生成運行策略,並在用戶確認後完成參數配置與策略執行,讓家庭能源管理從「專業操作」轉向「目標表達」。電站運維醫生--開啟綠電資產「秒級診療」時代。過去,運維人員往往需要人工查看數據、導出日誌、逐項排查告警,現場溝通與遠程確認成本高昂。借助SigenAgent,運維人員一句指令即可啟動全站診斷,系統自動掃描設備狀態、識別異常來源、分析故障原因並生成清晰的診斷報告,從而減少不必要的上站排查,提升服務響應效率。電力交易操盤手--儲能資產的「收益放大器」。它專為高頻波動的電力市場而生,可持續跟蹤電價、發電、負載與儲能狀態的變化,基於多維數據進行策略分析,幫助用戶參與動態電價管理、虛擬電廠響應及收益優化,讓電站在更複雜的市場環境中實現更精細化的運行。企業經營助手--驅動能源數字化轉型的「智慧引擎」。它進一步打破數據孤島:通過接入思格企業數據湖,SigenAgent能夠打通生產、倉儲、交付、全生命週期管理等關鍵鏈路,跨系統整合數據並形成分析建議,將核心經營信息與關鍵決策點清晰呈現給管理者。未來,隨著訂單、物流等數據權限向分銷夥伴和客戶開放,SigenAgent還有望成為夥伴提升經營效率的智能助手,讓能源數據與企業經營形成更緊密的連接。四大智能體覆蓋家庭用能、電站運維、電力交易與企業經營等核心場景,將複雜的能源管理任務轉化為清晰的目標指令,幫助不同用戶全面提升用能效率、運維效率與經營決策效率。軟硬協同:以強健系統底座,托舉AI能源新體驗SigenAgent的發佈並非一次孤立的AI功能更新,而是思格多年軟硬件一體化能力積累的系統性成果。許映童指出,AI與能源的融合不能只停留在模型與算法層面,更需要穩定可靠的硬件基礎、快速可信的通信鏈路、真實連續的數據支撐,以及長期沈澱的能源管理經驗共同作用。目前,全球已有超過20萬座電站搭載思格設備穩定運行,產品年失效率低至0.24%。在此基礎上,思格憑借覆蓋發電、儲能、充電、負載與網側接入的全域感知能力,以及100兆高速網絡、WLAN-Mesh可靠組網技術和Sub-1G通信方案,持續打通從設備感知、數據傳輸到雲端分析的完整鏈路,為SigenAgent真正進入能源系統運行閉環奠定基礎。真正推動思格持續進化的,不只是技術本身,更是來自全球用戶、安裝商與真實應用場景的持續反饋。mySigen App平均每三周完成一次更新、每年完成一次大迭代,背後正是思格對全球用戶需求的快速響應。從mySigen App 1.0讓能源系統「開口說話」,到2.0通過Sigen AI Mode幫助用戶優化用能收益,再到3.0開放上百個參數、實現原子化自定義,思格始終圍繞用戶真實需求推動產品迭代。無論是瑞典用戶在虛擬電廠協同中催生「儲能分身」功能,還是愛爾蘭用戶將避免棄光的優秀策略分享給更多人,這些來自一線的反饋都讓思格更加清晰地認識到:用戶真正需要的不是越來越複雜的功能菜單,而是更省心、更簡單、更專業的能源體驗。值得注意的是,本次SigenAgent升級並不只面向新設備。得益于思格原生AI化的產品架構與持續OTA能力,已安裝運行的存量設備同樣可通過軟件升級接入相關智能服務。這種「上線即滿配」的底氣,源于思格前瞻性的全棧自研軟硬件一體化架構,徹底打破了傳統硬件升級的物理邊界。也正因如此,SigenAgent的意義不只是讓AI進入App,而是把思格長期積累的硬件能力、數據能力、能源管理經驗與用戶洞察,進一步沈澱為系統的原生智能。強健的設備系統構成能源管理的「身體」,持續進化的大模型能力與行業經驗則成為系統的「智慧大腦」。當二者深度協同,能源系統便能從被動運行走向主動理解目標、主動執行策略、主動優化結果,真正讓複雜的能源管理變得簡單、省心、高效。堅守底線:四大核心准則,守住能源安全本心在將系統控制權引入AI的同時,思格新能源始終把能源安全與用戶信任放在核心位置,將用戶主權、數據合規、離線安全、運行透明四大要素寫入SigenAgent的底層基因。為確保安全,SigenAgent堅持「助手」定位,凡涉及設備參數調整、運行模式切換等關鍵動作,必須「先請示、再行動」,完全尊重用戶的最終決定權。在數據資產保護方面,思格已在全球建立法蘭克福、東京、新加坡、悉尼、俄勒岡、寧夏六大本地化數據中心,確保用戶數據本地存儲,嚴格遵守當地法律法規。針對用戶最擔心的網絡偶發故障,思格的離線安全機制實現「斷網不停擺」:系統在突發斷網時可依據AI預設的滾動動態指令繼續運行,隨後平穩切換至本地策略,並支持近端運維。更重要的是,思格徹底打破了行業普遍存在的「AI黑箱」--用戶打開App即可清晰直觀地看到未來24小時系統在每一時段為何充電、為何放電,讓每一度電的來龍去脈完全透明。智在全域:多端接入,無處不在服務用戶在生態構建上,思格新能源堅持無邊界的開放理念。SigenAgent不局限於官方App,未來將全面融入用戶的日常工作流與社交生態。用戶可通過飛書、WhatsApp、Telegram等即時通信應用對話,支持OpenClaw、Hermes等開源AI智能體與SigenAgent集成與協同,實現隨時隨地的能源掌控。首創EIL智能化分級:指引能源系統跨時代躍遷發佈會期間,思格新能源還聯合弗若斯特沙利文發佈《2026 AI+新能源行業發展白皮書》。白皮書借鑒自動駕駛分級思路,首次提出能源智能化五級分級體系EIL(Energy Intelligence Level),從「設備級感知輔助」逐步邁向「生態級完全自主演化」,系統界定能源系統在感知、監控、決策、運營、演化等維度的智能化能力邊界,為新能源與儲能行業建立清晰、可落地的智能化評價框架。白皮書指出,隨著風光裝機、分布式儲能、動態電價與虛擬電廠的快速發展,能源系統正從固定規則驅動走向自主感知、自主決策與協同優化。統一的智能化分級標準有助於行業形成共同認知,推動企業能力評估、技術迭代與生態協同,加速能源系統從「設備智能」邁向「系統智能」。以AI之名,定義下一代能源系統的最終形態許映童表示,思格今天交付的不只是一款新產品,也不只是一次技術升級,而是一種全新的能源生活方式--用戶無需理解複雜的技術細節,也能用好每一度電;能源系統不再只是被動運行的設備,而能夠主動思考、主動執行、主動為用戶創造價值;AI也不再停留在遠處的概念中,而是走到用戶身邊,持續陪伴、實時服務。面向未來,思格將繼續推進AI與能源系統的深度融合,讓更安全、更高效、更智慧的能源體驗惠及全球更多用戶、夥伴與應用場景。【關于思格新能源】思格新能源(股票代碼:6656.HK)是一家聚焦新能源儲能領域的科技創新公司,依託全球頂尖的數字智能技術與差異化的創新人才實力,深耕光伏發電、智慧儲能、高效EV充電領域,致力於提供「極簡部署、極致安全、極佳體驗」的AI+光儲解決方案。秉持AI in All發展戰略,思格新能源將人工智能與儲能技術深度融合,面向全球家庭及工商業、地面電站客戶,交付更安全、智能、高效的綜合能源服務。自創立以來,思格新能源以創新產品切入市場,依託模塊化設計與AI技術賦能,持續拓展戶用、工商業及大型電站等多場景產品與解決方案,穩步推進全球化佈局。目前,公司匯聚千餘名專業人才,業務已覆蓋全球80多個國家和地區,搭建起完善的全球分銷與服務網絡,並依託國內核心產業基地,不斷提升研發、製造與交付能力,在全球市場穩步建立自身優勢。更多信息,請訪問:www.sigenergy.com Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

5 Smart Ways to Use Standby Cash for Emergencies ACN Newswire

5 Smart Ways to Use Standby Cash for Emergencies

SINGAPORE, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Life in Singapore often brings unexpected costs that can sometimes deter even the best financial plans. 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.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.Urgent home repairsA 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.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.Managing non-insured healthcare costsResidents 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.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.Bridging income gaps during retrenchmentRetrenchment 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.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.Critical family emergenciesFamily 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.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.Replacement of essential appliancesHome 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.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.How to restore your safety netUsing 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.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.Prioritise high-interest debt: If you have multiple debts, focus on paying off the used standby cash to minimise interest costs.Use bonuses or windfalls: If you receive a work bonus or a tax refund, use a portion of it to renew your credit line.Final thoughtsThe 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.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Modern Dental Group Announces 2026 First Quarter Operational Update ACN Newswire

Modern Dental Group Announces 2026 First Quarter Operational Update

HONG KONG, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Modern Dental Group Limited ("Modern Dental" or "the Group", stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic devices provider, announced its operational data for the three months ended 31 March 2026.During the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s multi-dimensional strategies as supported by the ongoing trend of digitalization in the dental industry have resulted in the Group reporting record revenue during this period. 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.Global RevenueFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total revenue of the Group increased by approximately 12.1% (approx. HK$987.5 million) compared with the three months ended 31 March 2025.^ The decrease in revenue in original currency of the North America market (ex-MicroDental) was approximately 2.3% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of MicroDental was approximately 14.6%.# The increase in revenue in original currency of the Mainland China market was approximately 1.5% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of Hong Kong market was approximately 3.7%.++ The percentage change in Others represented changes in value of Hong Kong Dollars as Others included revenue dominated in different currencies.* The revenue information above is based on the locations of the customers.** The conversion rate shall not be taken as a representation that respective original currency could actually be converted into HK$ at that rate, or at all.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 — ranging from minimally invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners — the Group is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated digitalization trend within the dental industry.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. The Group’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.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’s business.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.The increase in revenue in Others mainly represented the increase in revenue in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.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’s overall margin percentage.Sales Volumes (Number of Cases)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).Digital Solution CasesFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’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’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’ increased adoption of intra-oral scanners.Average Selling PriceFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the average selling price of the Group’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.Looking forward, the global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patientexperiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group’s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.About Modern Dental GroupModern 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. Our product portfolio is broadly categorized into three product lines: fixed prosthetic devices, such as crowns and bridges; removable prosthetic devices, such as removable dentures; and other devices, such as orthodontic devices, sports guards, clear aligners and anti-snoring devices.Modern Dental Group has a global portfolio of respected brands, including Labocast, Permadental and Elysee Dental in Western Europe, YZJ Dental in China, Modern Dental Lab in Hong Kong, Modern Dental USA and MicroDental in the United States, Modern Dental Pacific in Australia and New Zealand, Modern Dental SG in Singapore, Modern Dental TW in Taiwan, Apex Digital Dental in Malaysia and Hexa Ceram in Thailand.

香港, 2026年5月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 全球領先之義齒器材供應商 - 現代牙科集團有限公司(簡稱「現代牙科」或「本集團」,股份代號: 03600.HK) 公佈截至2026年3月31日止第一季度運營數據。截至2026年3月31日止三個月,在牙科行業數碼化趨勢持續的支持下,本集團的多維度策略,使其於本期間的收益創下紀錄新高。宏觀經濟環境充滿挑戰,牙科手術的需求普遍疲弱,且貿易戰及地緣政治存在不確定性,然而仍然創下紀錄。本集團利用位於泰國、越南及中國內地的國際生產設施,積極應對前所未有的國際貿易環境。全球收益截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團之收益總額(約9.9億港元)較截至2025年3月31日止三個月(約8.8億港元)增加約12.1%。^ 北美市場(MicroDental除外)以原列值貨幣的收益減少約2.3%,而MicroDental以原列值貨幣的收益減少約14.6%。# 中國內地市場以原列值貨幣的收益增加約1.5%,而香港市場以原列值貨幣的收益減少約3.7%。++ 其他市場的百分比變動主要反映港幣價值的變化,因為其他市場包含以不同貨幣計價的收益。* 上述收益資料乃按客戶所在地區呈列。** 匯率不可視作表示有關原列值貨幣可實際按該匯率轉換至港元,甚或完全不可轉換。歐洲收益的增長主要受較高的銷售訂單量推動,並得益於新產品(如數碼化義齒)的成功推出,以及我們最先進的數碼化流程的推廣。作為提供全面數碼解決方案的先驅-範圍涵蓋多項微創及美容義齒解決方案以至口腔內部掃描儀及透明矯正器-本集團已準備好把握牙科行業數碼化趨勢加速帶來的機遇。來自MicroDental(我們在北美的本土牙科實驗室業務)的收益下跌,主要由於美國經濟走弱,導致患者對高價值、非必需牙科療程的需求減少,尤其是植牙。本集團於中國內地市場的收益在2026年第一季度按原列值貨幣計算錄得1.5%的增長,較2025年錄得的4.2%跌幅出現反轉。香港市場的收益跌幅亦收窄至3.7%,相較於2025年的11.5%跌幅有所改善。中國內地市場受帶量採購政策及長期激烈價格競爭的影響似乎已觸底。這亦導致中國內地牙科診所在香港積極推廣種植牙療程,令香港患者到診人次顯著下降。香港市場正隨此趨勢逐步走向穩定。本集團有意退出低利潤分部,並專注於中及高價值客戶,確保本集團業務能夠長期及可持續獲利。澳洲收益的增加反映了數位產品的強勁需求,主要受牙科行業數碼化趨勢及防鼾產品推動。其他市場收益的增加主要來自泰國、新加坡及馬來西亞的收益增長。值得注意的是,在歐洲及澳洲等高利潤率地區錄得正面收益增長,而相對低利潤業務的MicroDental則出現收益下降。這種有利的地理組合轉變,加上外幣兌港幣升值,預期將提升本集團的整體利潤率百分比。銷量(件數)截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團之銷量總數增加約4.0%至約720,000件(截至2025年3月31日止三個月:約692,000件)。數碼化個案截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團於中國內地、泰國、越南生產廠房生產之數碼化解決方案個案(海外及國內)(為免生歧義,不包括於本集團非中國內地、非泰國、非越南生產廠房或海外╱衛星牙科實驗室生產之數碼化解決方案個案)增加至約294,712件,較2025年同期(約236,488件)增加24.6%,原因為更多客戶採用口腔內部掃描儀。平均售價截至2026年3月31日止三個月,本集團市場上義齒產品之平均售價為每件1,273港元(截至2025年3月31日止三個月:1,188港元),增加約7.2%,主要由於外幣兌港元升值。展望未來,全球數碼化趨勢持續推義齒行業的整合,使本集團進一步擴大其市場份額。我們持續的數碼轉型措施提升客戶及病人體驗的同時,進一步使本集團在競爭對手中脫穎而出,表現優於同業。本集團的相關基礎持續穩固,並將全力以赴以進一步把握未來機遇。關於現代牙科集團現代牙科集團有限公司 (股份代號: 03600.HK) 為全球領先的義齒器材供應商、經銷商和顧問,專注於發展迅速的義齒行業為客戶提供定制式義齒。我們的產品組合大致可分為三類﹕固定義齒器材,例如牙冠及牙橋;活動義齒器材,例如活動義齒;及其他器材,例如正畸類器材、透明牙套、運動防護器及防鼾器。現代牙科集團擁有多個備受稱許的全球品牌,包括西歐的Labocast、Permadental及Elysee Dental、中國的洋紫荊牙科器材、香港的現代牙科器材、美國的Modern Dental USA及MicroDental、澳洲及紐西蘭的Modern Dental Pacific、新加坡的Modern Dental SG、台灣的 Modern Dental TW、馬來西亞的 Apex Digital Dental及泰國的Hexa Ceram等。我們提供穩定和優質的產品及卓越的客戶服務,令這些公司品牌能茁壯成長。我們於全球超過 28個國家擁有超過 80 家服務中心及服務逾 35,000 名客戶。 Copyright 2026 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

RSI Applies for Prediction Market License iGame

RSI Applies for Prediction Market License

(AsiaGameHub) - Rush Street Interactive has submitted an application for a Designated Contract Market license, opening up a potential path for the parent company of BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse to enter the U.S. prediction markets space. Good to Know RSI submitted its DCM license application to the CFTC. Richard Schwartz played down the significance of prediction markets back in February. This application provides RSI with flexible options, rather than representing a confirmed launch roadmap. For months, Rush Street Interactive has kept prediction markets at arm's length. Now the firm has taken the first official regulatory step required to operate an event contract exchange within the United States. A DCM license would allow RSI to run a federally supervised prediction market. However, the application does not obligate the company to construct an exchange, acquire an existing one, or roll out a product. It may simply provide RSI with the flexibility to move forward at a later date should the regulatory landscape become more defined. RSI Falls Between Two Factions in the Gambling Industry This application puts RSI in an awkward position. DraftKings, FanDuel, and Fanatics have already expressed interest in prediction markets, in part because their business models are rooted in large-scale digital operations. MGM Resorts and Caesars have taken a more cautious approach, as their land-based casino licenses and existing relationships with state regulators expose them to additional risk.RSI falls right between these two groups. It was spun off as an independent digital business in 2020, though the Rush Street brand remains closely associated with Rush Street Gaming and the Rivers casino portfolio. This middle ground makes the application even more notable. Back in February, CEO Richard Schwartz told analysts that prediction markets were not a top priority and were not a core part of the company's sports betting offering. That said, he also noted that RSI was "continuously evaluating" the space and could leverage its existing technology for the segment if it made sense to do so. That potential pathway is now open to the company. Susquehanna analyst Joseph Stauff has posited that the application may be a move to keep options open, rather than a concrete decision to launch. This lines up with the low-commitment nature of a CFTC application, especially when compared to the costs of securing iGaming or sportsbook licenses on a state-by-state basis. Investors have not shown a strong reaction to the news. RSI's share price is down 3.5% week-over-week, but remains up 9.8% month-over-month. Over the last 12 months, the company's stock has more than doubled in value, while DraftKings' share price has dropped 29% over the same period.Regulatory risk remains a key concern. A number of state gambling regulators have warned operators that engaging in prediction market activity could put their casino licenses at risk. Nevada's regulators issued that exact warning in October, and the broader debate over sports event contracts remains unresolved. RSI now has a clear choice to make. It can hold onto the application as a safeguard, or it can follow its digital competitors into the prediction markets space. Either way, it appears BetRivers is no longer satisfied with observing the segment from the sidelines. This article is provided by a third-party.

Caesars Agrees to $17.6B All-Cash Buyout by Fertitta Entertainment iGame

Caesars Agrees to $17.6B All-Cash Buyout by Fertitta Entertainment

(AsiaGameHub) - Caesars Entertainment has reached an agreement to be acquired by Fertitta Entertainment in an all-cash deal valued at $17.6 billion. The transaction encompasses $11.9 billion in debt, Caesars' casino properties, and its online and retail sportsbook operations. Good to Know Fertitta Entertainment will provide Caesars shareholders with $31 in cash for every outstanding share. The agreement encompasses 53 hotel-casino properties and the Caesars sportsbook operations. Caesars executives, including Tom Reeg, Bret Yunker, and Anthony Carano, are anticipated to remain in their positions. Tilman Fertitta has secured a deal for one of the most prominent casino groups in the United States. Fertitta Entertainment, which already has ties to Golden Nugget, the Houston Rockets, and multiple restaurant chains, will take Caesars private pending shareholder and regulatory approval. The $31-per-share offer represents a 49% premium over Caesars' unaffected share price from February 25. The Carano family, which holds approximately 5% of Caesars shares, will retain a portion of its investment in the new entity. Caesars Deal Brings Casinos And Sports Betting Under Fertitta Caesars provides Fertitta Entertainment with an extensive U.S. casino portfolio, a flagship Las Vegas Strip brand, and a nationwide digital gaming business. The company runs 53 hotel-casino properties, and Caesars Sportsbook provides mobile betting in over 20 U.S. states.The digital assets also offer Fertitta scale beyond physical locations. Caesars' online sportsbook and iGaming offerings will be combined with the Golden Nugget digital platform, granting the acquirer a more substantial online presence in the U.S. sports betting and online casino sectors. Caesars stated that its existing leadership team will continue following the deal's closure. CEO Tom Reeg, CFO Bret Yunker, President and COO Anthony Carano, and other top executives are expected to retain their roles. The companies had previously considered a combination. Discussions were reported in February, and a potential merger was also explored in 2018. Caesars presented the sale as a direct cash benefit for investors following a prolonged decline in its stock price. Caesars shares increased roughly 1.5% on Thursday morning after the agreement was announced, despite the stock losing nearly 70% of its value over the last five years.“The Board of Directors of Caesars Entertainment has approved the transaction and recommends that Caesars shareholders adopt and approve the merger agreement,” the company stated. “The Board, after detailed consideration with the assistance of its outside financial and legal advisors, determined that the immediate cash premium offered by this transaction is compelling for Caesars shareholders, and its approval of this transaction underscores its commitment to drive and deliver value for shareholders.” Upon completion, Caesars common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ. The companies announced the combined network will feature 60 casino resorts within the Caesars Rewards program, offering guests more destinations within the expanded casino and hospitality group. “Together, Caesars and Fertitta Entertainment have a shared commitment to operational excellence, customer service, and disciplined growth, with employees and guests remaining at the heart of the business,” Caesars said in its release.

Illegal Gambling Ads on Meta Reached 37.9 Million Dutch Users iGame

Illegal Gambling Ads on Meta Reached 37.9 Million Dutch Users

(AsiaGameHub) - According to a new study by XY Legal Solutions B.V. and VNLOK, a significant volume of illicit online gambling advertisements were seen by Dutch users on Facebook and Instagram in March 2026. The analysis utilized data from the Meta Ad Library and concentrated on gambling-related search terms in the Dutch language. Good to Know In March 2026, researchers detected 15,114 unlawful gambling advertisements. These advertisements directed users to 1,292 distinct URLs and originated from 2,210 Facebook pages. Meta's estimated advertising earnings for the month were between €606,551 and €1.14 million. The investigation examined ads associated with terms like “gokkast,” “gratis spins,” “welkomstbonus,” and “Holland Casino.” Advertisements were deemed illegal if they promoted operators lacking a license from the Kansspelautoriteit. The reported audience reach for the March sample was 37.9 million Dutch users. Assuming an average of two views per user, the study's authors calculated approximately 75.8 million impressions during the month. Young Adults Became A Key Target While Dutch advertising regulations prohibit licensed operators from targeting individuals under 24, unlicensed operators seemed to focus precisely on that demographic. The report indicates that 65.4% of the illegal ads targeted users below the age of 24.Data from March showed 5.8 million impressions within the 18 to 24 age bracket. Projected over a year, this would amount to roughly 71 million impressions for that group. An independent study released earlier in May also concluded that Dutch gambling ads on social media, including those from licensed operators, had been viewed by users under 24. The KSA had previously highlighted the extent of the issue. In April, the regulator submitted over 4,600 reports to Meta concerning illegal gambling promotions on its platforms. The KSA's 2025 reporting further estimated that broader social media channels hosted about 50,000 illegal gambling ads monthly in the preceding year. Meta did take action to remove some content during the research period, with about 38.3% of the identified ads being disabled or deleted. Nonetheless, the report noted that new advertisements were being created more rapidly than existing ones were being taken down. To evade enforcement, operators employed brief advertising campaigns. The median campaign duration was three days, and 93% ran for fewer than 14 days. Some ads funneled users via app-store links before redirecting to unlicensed gambling websites. Others impersonated established Dutch brands or utilized fabricated testimonial accounts.The study also projected potential revenue for Meta from these ads. Applying public CPM benchmarks for the Netherlands, the estimated March revenue was €606,551 at an €8 CPM, €834,008 at an €11 CPM, and €1.14 million at a €15 CPM. Annually, this would translate to between €7.3 million and €13.6 million, though the report described these figures as indicative since Meta does not disclose internal revenue data for this advertising category. The research underscores an uneven playing field for licensed gambling operators in the Netherlands. Legal companies must adhere to stringent rules regarding broad advertising and younger viewers, while unlicensed operators persistently purchase audience reach on social media.

ASA Bans Oddschecker’s Posts Featuring Kane and Haaland iGame

ASA Bans Oddschecker’s Posts Featuring Kane and Haaland

(AsiaGameHub) - The UK Advertising Standards Authority has instructed Cyan Blue Odds Ltd, operating as Oddschecker, to refrain from republishing two Instagram posts containing betting references that featured Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. Key Highlights ASA upheld complaints regarding two Instagram posts from OddscheckerTV dated November 2025. The regulator determined that Kane and Haaland hold significant appeal to individuals under 18 within the context of gambling-related material. A distinct Betway post featuring Thierry Henry was found not to violate the same regulations. This decision serves as a stark reminder to UK gambling affiliates that social media posts may be classified as advertisements even if a company labels them as editorial content. The ASA noted that the Oddschecker posts were published on an account managed by Oddschecker, contained betting statistics, and directed users toward gambling services. Footballer Posts Do Not Meet ASA Standards One post from OddscheckerTV displayed England captain Harry Kane alongside the text: “Harry Kane is the most backed player to win the Ballon d’Or in 2026 (32% of bets)”. Another post showcased Erling Haaland with the caption: “Norway are the most backed to win 2026 WC”. This post also mentioned improved prices and shorter odds offered by specific bookmakers.A researcher from the University of Bristol contested the posts, asserting that prominent footballers featured in gambling content are likely to strongly attract those under 18. After examining the content and Instagram's access restrictions, the ASA concurred. Oddschecker contended that the posts constituted editorial commentary rather than direct advertisements. The firm also highlighted an 18+ restriction on the OddscheckerTV account and a profile biography characterizing the content as intended for adults. Nevertheless, the ASA determined that these protective measures were inadequate. The regulator referenced Ofcom statistics indicating that 52% of 13 to 15-year-olds and 76% of 16 to 17-year-olds are regular Instagram users. It further noted that many young users provide false ages, and platform checks do not consistently prevent access by minors. Additionally, the regulator dismissed the argument that the posts fell outside the scope of gambling advertising regulations. Because they referenced betting volumes, bookmaker odds, and Oddschecker services, the ASA classified them as marketing communications under the CAP Code.The ASA concluded that the posts violated social responsibility clauses and ordered Oddschecker to discontinue their use in their current format. It also cautioned the company against featuring individuals or characters with strong appeal to minors in future gambling advertisements. Complaint Regarding Betway’s Thierry Henry Post Dismissed Conversely, Betway faced no regulatory action regarding an Instagram post involving Thierry Henry. The post advertised an interview with Henry, Betway’s global ambassador, and displayed Betway branding, responsible gambling logos, an 18+ badge, and a reference to GambleAware. Betway asserted that Henry primarily appeals to an older demographic of football fans. Having retired from professional play some time ago, he now works predominantly as a pundit, including for CBS Sports in the United States. The company also provided evidence demonstrating a low count of UK-based Instagram followers under the age of 18. The ASA accepted this reasoning. While acknowledging Henry’s substantial general profile, the regulator noted that his current media role and limited following among UK youth implied he was unlikely to possess strong appeal to under-18s according to CAP guidance.

Arizona Opens Event Wagering License Window iGame

Arizona Opens Event Wagering License Window

(AsiaGameHub) - Between June 26 and July 10, 2026, Arizona will be accepting applications for new event wagering licenses, providing sportsbook operators a fresh opportunity to join a market that has seen the departure of multiple brands since its inception. Good to Know The sports betting framework in Arizona provides for a total of 20 event wagering licenses. These are split evenly, with 10 licenses allocated to tribal partners and 10 to Arizona sports franchise partners. The upcoming application period is scheduled for June 26 through July 10. Opportunities for new sportsbook operators have emerged in Arizona. Following a period where several companies exited the state as part of a broader contraction within the U.S. sports betting sector, the Arizona Department of Gaming is reopening the licensing process. When sports betting was legalized in 2021, the state established 20 event wagering licenses, dividing them equally between those partnered with state tribes and those affiliated with Arizona sports franchises. Vacant Licenses Put Arizona Back In Play With only 14 licenses currently active, Arizona has vacancies available. Following a previous application window in 2024, regulators are now preparing to evaluate a new group of applicants.“As the state regulator, we remain dedicated to consumer protection and a thorough licensing review process,” stated Cliff Holden, assistant director of certification and licensing for the Department of Gaming. “We look forward to receiving new applications for regulated event wagering.” These openings come after a period of industry-wide consolidation. Brands including Betfred, SuperBook Sports, Betway, Fubo Sportsbooks, TwinSpires, Unibet, and WynnBet have all ceased operations in Arizona, with many of these also exiting other U.S. markets. In a separate case, SaharaBets exited the market after losing its sports franchise affiliation following the relocation of the NHL team formerly known as the Arizona Coyotes to Utah. Despite the reduction in the number of active licensees, Arizona remains home to major national sportsbooks such as DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, bet365, and Fanatics, ensuring that any new entrant will face a highly competitive environment.Nevertheless, securing a license does not ensure success. New operators will encounter significant challenges, including substantial customer acquisition expenses, competition from well-funded incumbents, and a broader U.S. betting landscape that is increasingly shifting focus toward prediction markets.

World Cup betting handle may hit $2.82 billion iGame

World Cup betting handle may hit $2.82 billion

(AsiaGameHub) - Eilers & Krejcik Gaming anticipates that the 2026 FIFA World Cup will generate a significantly larger U.S. online betting market compared to the 2022 tournament, driven by an increased number of matches, favorable North American time zones, and heightened mainstream interest in soccer wagering. Good to Know EKG forecasts wagers totaling $2.82 billion for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. A strong performance by Team USA could drive the handle to nearly $4 billion. Conversely, an early elimination for the U.S. might reduce betting volume to slightly above $2.3 billion. Scheduled from June 11 to July 19 across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is expected by EKG to yield a betting handle of $2.82 billion. This figure significantly surpasses the $900 million to $1 billion estimated for the 2022 World Cup. Compared to the upper limit of the 2022 range, the 2026 projection represents an 182% surge in U.S. online World Cup betting. The expansion of the tournament format accounts for much of this growth, with the number of teams increasing from 32 to 48 and the total matches rising from 64 to 104. Team USA Performance May Determine Final Betting Totals EKG does not regard the $2.82 billion forecast as fixed. The performance of Team USA could adjust these figures in either direction, particularly given that the tournament is taking place partly on home turf.“Our forecast comes with wide error bars because of the impact of a potential run from the U.S. Men’s National Team, but our base case assumes they advance from the group stage before exiting in either the Round of 32 or Round of 16,” EKG noted in its report. An extended run by Team USA would likely stimulate more casual wagering, increased in-play betting, and greater engagement from U.S. sportsbooks. EKG indicated that in such a scenario, the handle could approach $4 billion. On the other hand, a brief tournament appearance could diminish that potential. An early exit might result in a total betting handle of just over $2.3 billion. While Team USA advanced to the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup, the squad has also failed to progress past the group stage on three occasions since 1990. For sportsbook operators, the expanded FIFA World Cup offers an extended betting schedule, a wider array of soccer markets, and additional opportunities to attract casual bettors. Nevertheless, EKG identifies Team USA's performance as the most significant variable influencing U.S. World Cup betting handle. This article is provided by a third-party.

平等就业机会委员会主席明知废除多元化报告将使该机构对歧视视而不见,她仍执意为之。

(SeaPRwire) - 4月22日,平等就業機會委員會(EEOC)主席安德莉亞·盧卡斯在哈佛大學的一場會議上,向一群學者、法律專家和社區倡導者發表演說。 對話立即轉向了房間裡的大象:EEOC對賓夕法尼亞大學反猶太主義的調查。作為調查的一部分,EEOC向該大學發出傳票,要求提供與大學內猶太團體有關聯的員工姓名和聯繫方式,此舉引發爭議,並引起學生和教職員的安全擔憂。 由於她無權談論正在進行的訴訟,盧卡斯以概括性的方式發言,並就EEOC為何收集數據提供了一個簡單的解釋。她說,在該委員會60年的歷史中,該機構一直在收集資訊。 「為什麼?」她問道。「因為除非你收集有關他們的資訊,否則沒有其他方法可以保護騷擾或歧視的受害者。」 不到一個月後,EEOC提交了一項提案,要求廢除一項規定,該規定要求擁有100名以上員工的雇主、工會以及州和地方政府報告其種族和性別人口統計數據,這結束了六十年的先例。這些規則也適用於擁有50名以上員工的聯邦承包商。 此舉正值盧卡斯領導下的委員會開始了一場反對多元化努力的行動,並正在尋找針對白人男性的歧視案件。去年12月,盧卡斯在社交媒體上發布了一段影片,呼籲白人男性報告他們在工作中因種族或性別而遭受的歧視。此後的幾個月裡,EEOC對Coca-Cola為女性員工舉辦為期兩天的旅行和社交活動,以及Nike提供限制種族的導師指導和領導機會展開了調查。 結束人口統計報告的提案,與盧卡斯更廣泛的努力一致,即重新構建民權執法,使其遠離系統性或無意的歧視,轉向個人申訴。如果雇主停止追蹤勞動力人口統計數據,將更難識別那些作為集體訴訟和系統性歧視案件證據基礎的模式——例如黑人員工被不成比例地解僱、女性的薪酬差距。這些恰恰是歷史上使少數族裔工人受益的案件類型。 相比之下,盧卡斯一直積極徵求的歧視申訴——來自聲稱遭受逆向歧視的白人男性——往往是個人性質的,不需要匯總的人口統計數據來起訴。因此,取消報告要求不僅是全面、平等地削弱EEOC的調查能力;它選擇性地削弱了用於追究盧卡斯似乎最不感興趣提起的案件的工具。 EEOC未回應《》的置評請求。 上週在《》的職場創新峰會上,盧卡斯重複了她自2025年開始領導該委員會以來用來界定EEOC工作的一句口頭禪。 「我們是平等就業機會委員會。我們不是公平結果委員會,」她說,並辯稱《民權法案》第七章保護任何種族或性別免受歧視,而不是特定群體。 曾在2009年至2019年擔任EEOC委員的柴·費爾德布盧姆解釋說,EEOC從雇主那裡收集的數據是提出申訴時的重要起點。她是EEO Leaders的主席,這是一個由前EEOC和勞工部高級官員組成的監督組織。 「在一些非常重要、大規模的就業問題、就業申訴中,如果沒有這些資訊已經存檔,將會降低調查的效力,」費爾德布盧姆說。 她補充說,當委員會開始調查時,他們可以要求數據,例如在賓夕法尼亞大學的案例中,因為猶太身份數據並非傳統EEO-1表格收集的一部分。但她解釋說,如果廢除提案獲得通過,且雇主在一段時間內停止收集數據,調查人員可能會遇到更多問題。 「這個EEOC並沒有放棄收集數據來調查他們認為目前有問題的申訴,」費爾德布盧姆說。「他們通過這項提議的廢除案所做的是,移除了一個讓雇主能夠通過了解自身問題來進行自我監管的機制。」 在哈佛大學演講時,盧卡斯似乎也同意數據收集的重要性。 「對我來說,沒有其他方法能夠讓受到傷害的受害者獲得賠償。我相信在許多情況下,他們受到了嚴重傷害,除非我了解某人與某個宗教組織的關聯,」盧卡斯說。「當然,同樣的原則適用於任何受保護的特徵。如果我不收集有關申請工作或目前正在職、可能屬於某個群體的黑人員工的資訊,我就無法保護黑人員工。」 「這就是民權執法的本質。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

一名Google工程師因涉嫌利用雇主機密資料在Polymarket套現120萬美元,正面臨聯邦指控 News

一名Google工程師因涉嫌利用雇主機密資料在Polymarket套現120萬美元,正面臨聯邦指控

(SeaPRwire) - 一名在Google任職超過十年的軟件工程師,涉嫌利用內部資訊在預測市場Polymarket賺取120萬美元。 據美國紐約南區檢察官辦公室提出的指控,Michele Spagnuolo——這位在網上使用用戶名「AlphaRaccoon」的Google工程師——涉嫌無視內部工具頂部標註「Google Confidential」的紅色文字,存取最熱搜名人的數據,以輔助他針對Google的2025 Year in Search(一項展示去年熱搜榜的行銷活動)進行多項投注。 Spagnuolo在Google任職12年,涉嫌使用加密貨幣錢包投入自己的270萬美元進行數十項投注,最終獲得9位數的報酬。他以Google內部數據為參考,其中一項投注是押注937,688美元,認為Kanye West的妻子Bianca Censori不會成為去年搜尋量第一的人物,儘管當時的平均隱含機率約為85%。 他重複此過程數次,押注數十萬美元認為諸如教宗Leo XIV和前總統Donald Trump等知名人物不會成為搜尋量最高的人物,即使Polymarket上顯示的機率很高。根據指控,他還押注音樂藝人d4vd會成為年度搜尋量最高的人物,儘管該平台上此事件的機率幾乎為零。 Spagnuolo是居住在瑞士的義大利公民,根據美國司法部的新聞稿,他目前在美國被指控犯有商品詐欺、電信詐欺和洗錢罪。ABC News報導,他於週三在紐約被捕。根據司法部的說法,若罪名成立,Spagnuolo最高可能面臨50年監禁。 「內線交易損害了我們市場的誠信,美國人民希望這種由貪婪驅動的行為受到調查和起訴,」紐約南區美國檢察官Jay Clayton在聲明中表示。 Polymarket的發言人在一份聲明中表示,該平台「是迄今為止唯一透過合作導致美國內線交易指控的預測平台」。 儘管Polymarket直到去年年底才被美國解禁,但該平台已成為最受歡迎的「事件合約」投注平台之一。事件合約是一種金融衍生產品,允許用戶針對真實世界事件進行交易。這些投注範圍從美國是否會入侵伊朗,到本週Netflix排名第二的節目是什麼。 與此同時,美國司法部最近在包括Polymarket在內的多個平台上打擊內線交易。 今年4月,司法部起訴一名陸軍特種部隊士官長,指控他利用有關美國捕獲前委內瑞拉總統Nicolás Maduro行動的機密資訊,在Polymarket合約上投注,淨賺超過40萬美元。 這些調查先前也擴展到近年來越來越受歡迎的體育投注領域。今年10月,聯邦檢察官公布了一份起訴書,指控包括前Charlotte Hornets球員Terry Rozier在內的六名被告,多年來利用內部傷病和陣容資訊對NBA比賽進行投注。所有被告均被指控串謀實施電信詐欺和串謀洗錢。 至於這位Google工程師的案件,Google的發言人正與執法部門合作進行調查。 「該員工使用所有員工均可使用的工具存取我們的行銷材料,但使用這類機密資訊進行投注嚴重違反了我們的政策。我們已讓該員工休假,並將採取適當行動,」發言人表示。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Radisson Announces Closing of Bought Deal Financing for $25 Million ACN Newswire

Radisson Announces Closing of Bought Deal Financing for $25 Million

Toronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 28, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") 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 Income Tax Act (Canada)) as part of a charity arrangement (the "FT Shares"), at a price of $1.38 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,999,800 (the "Offering"). 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.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "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 Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026). 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." The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") 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.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 "Underwriters"). 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 "Cash Commission"). The Cash Commission was paid by the Company with existing cash on hand.The Offering remains subject to the final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.Subject to compliance with applicable regulatory requirements and in accordance with National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions ("NI 45-106"), 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 - Exemptions from Certain Conditions of the Listed Issuer Financing Exemption (the "Listed Issuer Financing Exemption"). 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.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 www.sedarplus.ca and on the Company's website at www.radissonmining.com.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.

New York Fed表示,現在餓肚子的美國人比疫情期間更多,民眾面臨糧食不安全感的「顯著」上升

(SeaPRwire) - 根據 Federal Reserve of New York 的一項最新調查顯示,目前面臨糧食不安全問題的美國人比疫情期間還要多。 在 2026 年 2 月進行的這項調查中,Federal Reserve of New York 詢問了美國家庭的消費習慣,當時消費者信心正處於歷史最低點,且伊朗戰爭帶來的經濟影響也開始在國內顯現。調查詢問了美國民眾諸如:家中是否有人動用儲蓄來支付開銷、是否有足夠的食物可吃、是否有兒童錯過餐點、是否接受過食物捐贈,或是是否領取了 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) 福利等問題。 聯準會表示,調查結果令人擔憂,因為與聯準會疫情初期進行的「消費者預期調查」(Survey of Consumer Expectations)相比,各項經濟困難的比例均有所上升。 研究人員寫道:「我們發現糧食不安全狀況有顯著增加,特別是在教育程度較低、收入較低的家庭以及有幼兒的家庭中。」 十分之一的受訪者表示沒有足夠的食物可吃,或家中兒童錯過餐點,這一比例是 2020 年 6 月報告的 4% 的兩倍多。超過三分之一的家庭表示動用了儲蓄來購買雜貨,而疫情初期這一比例僅為 21.8%。 研究人員寫道:「這種財務壓力反映在對生活成本高昂、持續通貨膨脹和高利率導致負擔能力的擔憂,以及信用卡、汽車貸款和學生貸款的高拖欠率上。」 這些調查結果出爐之際,越來越多的低收入和中等收入家庭正感受到住房和食品成本上漲的壓力,並經歷著更高的實際通貨膨脹率。4 月份通貨膨脹率達到 3.8%,為近三年來的最高水平。聯準會經濟學家表示,這些發現顯示出「K 型」經濟正在擴大,低收入美國人面臨財務壓力和負擔能力問題,而高收入者似乎正推動生產力和工資增長。 研究人員發現,隨著糧食不安全狀況加劇,消費者悲觀情緒也有所增加。University of Michigan 的月度消費者信心調查本月跌至 44.8,該評級低於大衰退(Great Recession)和疫情期間。Federal Reserve of New York 還發現,認為自己一年後財務狀況會好轉的家庭比例也在迅速下降。 在消費者信心低迷之際,Trump 政府慶祝了其所謂將 240 萬美國人「移出」SNAP 福利名單的成果。《One Big Beautiful Bill Act》在 10 年內削減了 1,860 億美元的 SNAP 預算,相當於削減了 20% 的資金。這些削減對兒童和老年人造成了特別嚴重的打擊。在削減之前,他們分別佔 SNAP 受益人的 39% 和 20%。對 Medicaid、Medicare 和 Affordable Care Act 補貼的額外削減,也提高了低收入和中等收入家庭的生活成本。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

UBS表示,朗·德桑蒂斯旨在幫助92%房主節省房產稅的計劃存在問題——依據的是他自己所在州的數據

(SeaPRwire) - 佛羅里達州州長 Ron DeSantis 正以一項大膽的承諾推銷其重要的房地產稅提案:將佛羅里達州的自住住宅免稅額(homestead exemption)提高至 50 萬美元,並為該州 92% 的屋主免除房地產稅。但投資銀行 UBS 的分析師對此踩了煞車,並利用佛羅里達州政府自身的數據來反駁這一說法。 在週三發布的一份研究報告中,UBS 指出 DeSantis 所引用的數據與佛羅里達州經濟與人口研究辦公室(Florida Office of Economic and Demographic Research,該州自身的財政分析機構)的數據之間存在顯著差異。據州長稱,將自住住宅免稅額提高至 25 萬美元,將使約 60% 的佛羅里達州屋主免繳房地產稅。但 UBS 指出,該州自身的數據顯示情況較為保守:佛羅里達州僅約 47% 的自住住宅價值在 25 萬美元或以下。而在 50 萬美元的門檻上——即 DeSantis 承諾覆蓋率達 92% 的標準——佛羅里達州自身的數據顯示該比例僅為 75% 至 80%。 這意味著州長的頭條承諾與獨立州分析所支持的數據之間存在超過 12 個百分點的差距。 目前,自住住宅免稅額為 5 萬美元,僅影響該州所有自住住宅地塊的 0.5%。DeSantis 召開了特別立法會議以推動該提案,該提案將首先把自住住宅免稅額提高至 25 萬美元,並隨著時間推移逐步邁向 50 萬美元。要成為法律,該提案需要獲得州立法機構 60% 的批准,隨後在 11 月的投票中獲得 60% 的選民支持。對於新遷入佛羅里達州的居民,將適用至少五年的居住要求。 來自佛羅里達州經濟與人口研究辦公室的另一份報告發現,約 28% 的自住住宅地塊的中位評估價值在 25 萬美元或以下,這與 DeSantis 的數據形成了更鮮明的對比。Redfin 3 月份的數據顯示,佛羅里達州房屋銷售的中位價為 416,800 美元。 UBS 分析師並未完全否定該提案。該公司表示,該計劃「可能對該州的負擔能力產生積極影響」,並指出根據縣評估員數據的初步估算,布勞沃德縣(Broward County)的平均年度房地產稅節省額為 1,800 美元,邁阿密-戴德縣(Miami-Dade)為 1,500 美元。分析師還指出,該立法可能成為在佛羅里達州有重大業務的上市房屋建築商的助力,包括 Lennar、D.R. Horton 和 PulteGroup,這些公司預計 2025 年交付量的 17% 至 25% 來自該州。 該提案並非沒有先例,也非沒有失敗過。今年 2 月,佛羅里達州眾議院通過了一個版本的非學校自住住宅房地產稅免除案,但隨後在州參議院夭折。包括前州參議員 Jeff Brandes 在內的懷疑論者質疑該計劃是否充分考慮了其對地方政府的財政影響,並指出房地產稅目前為佛羅里達州各縣的學校、警察和消防員提供資金。 來自坦帕的民主黨眾議院少數黨領袖 Fentrice Driskell 表示,該提案可能會奪走 DeSantis 想要資助的對象。 「任何削減,即使在宏觀層面上看起來很小,也可能是毀滅性的。目前沒有計劃在後期彌補地方政府的損失,」Driskell 週二表示。「房地產稅涵蓋了執法部門和急救人員的費用。它們確保你無需支付費用即可使用圖書館。一旦你開始解釋這些事情,你就會明白房地產稅並不是真正的敵人。」 DeSantis 提議設立一個由州政府剩餘收入資助的信託基金,以幫助農村縣抵消損失的收入,但批評人士表示,關於如果免稅額擴大到 50 萬美元,該基金將如何擴大規模以彌補更廣泛的缺口,細節仍然很少。 對於這篇報導,記者使用了生成式 AI 作為研究工具。編輯在發布前核實了資訊的準確性。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
