(AsiaGameHub) - Entain’s Australian brands Ladbrokes AU and Neds AU are facing regulatory trouble after an Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) investigation uncovered more than 500 violations of national self-exclusion rules. The UK-headquartered gambling firm has now entered into a court-enforceable undertaking, after ACMA found its brands opened new betting accounts for people already registered with Australia’s national self-exclusion register BetStop. The company was also found to have failed to close existing wagering accounts for customers who had opted for self-exclusion. “When someone signs up to BetStop, all wagering companies are required to close every account that person holds across their services,” said ACMA member Carolyn Lidgerwood. “In this case, Entain’s internal systems did not properly identify and link all wagering accounts belonging to these customers across its platforms, including one account that stayed open for more than a year after the customer completed self-exclusion. “Once people register for self-exclusion, there should be no possible way for them to open new accounts for any licensed wagering service operating in Australia.” Not Entain’s first brush with legal trouble This is far from the first time Entain has run into legal issues tied to customer protection and gambling compliance in Australia. Back in November 2025, the Federal Court of Australia scheduled a 30 November 2026 hearing date for the lawsuit against Entain brought by Australian financial watchdog AUSTRAC. The lawsuit alleges AML (anti-money laundering) and compliance failures at Neds, Bookmaker.com.au and Ladbrokes AU. AUSTRAC claims the group’s brands operated with insufficient customer verification, inadequate source-of-funds checks, and allowed cash-deposit and third-party transaction channels that left its wagering network exposed to the risk of criminal exploitation. On top of Australian issues, the company faces additional problems in its home market of the UK, including tax increases, retail betting shop closures and a steadily tumbling share price on the London Stock Exchange over the last 12 months, and it continues to find itself wrapped up in legal disputes globally. In late March of this year, Entain was fined DKK 500,000 (£57,000) for running a ‘Risk-Free Gambling’ marketing campaign through its bwin brand in Denmark. The company has made public, intentional efforts to uphold strong player protection standards, and Chief Executive Officer Stella David is one of the most outspoken advocates for banning unlicensed brands from sponsoring English sports. Despite these efforts and public commitments, the firm remains just as liable for compliance violations as any other operator, and Australia has become a consistent hotspot of regulatory trouble for the company. In relation to this newest case, ACMA’s investigation also found Entain failed to properly promote BetStop in customer text messages and emails, as required by national rules. ACMA has secured an 18-month, court-enforceable undertaking from Entain to resolve the case. Under the terms of this agreement, the company will commission an independent review of its compliance systems and processes, and implement any recommended changes. ACMA did not issue an infringement notice in this case, as that option was not available under current rules. However, if Entain fails to meet the terms of the undertaking, it could face court-ordered financial penalties. In response to the court-enforceable undertaking, a spokesperson for Entain Australia said: “We take all our regulatory responsibilities seriously. These matters arose during the early rollout of a new national system, and we have worked constructively with ACMA to implement meaningful upgrades to our processes and controls. “Our focus is on getting this right for our customers, particularly those who choose to self-exclude, and on building long-term trust through a strong, compliance-led culture.” The spokesperson also highlighted that ACMA accepted an enforceable undertaking, rather than issuing a fine as it has done with other operators in the past, such as Betfair, PointsBet and, most recently, Tabcorp. They also confirmed that the issues are tied to the initial launch of BetStop, noting that errors are common during the early stages of any new national system, and Entain says it has already delivered significant improvements, including stronger customer matching, better account linking and ongoing system upgrades. Entain said it has engaged “constructively with the ACMA throughout, providing detailed submissions and working in good faith to address issues”. This article is provided by a third-party.

Sweden introduces new compliance framework for credit checks and real-time self-exclusion
(AsiaGameHub) - The period from May to August 2026 will see Sweden’s gambling industry enter a new era of compliance and regulatory oversight, as mandated by the Gambling Inspectorate, Spelinspektionen, and the Ministry of Finance, Finansdepartementet. This update follows Spelinspektionen issuing its first compliance directive under the “comprehensive ban on credit transactions,” which has been imposed as a regulatory requirement on Swedish gambling licensees effective 1 May 2026. The credit ban represents the first consumer protection measure introduced under the updated compliance charter for the Swedish Gambling Act of 2018. Niklas Wykman The compliance reforms were led by Financial Markets Minister Niklas Wykman in collaboration with Marcus Isgren, Chairman of Reklamationsnämnden—Sweden’s Consumer Disputes Board. Starting 1 May 2026, all licensed gambling operators in Sweden must ensure that customer deposits cannot originate from credit cards, overdrafts, personal loans, or buy-now-pay-later (BNPL) services. This pioneering measure, implemented by a European jurisdiction, requires gambling licensees to verify and block external payment providers—including e-wallets—from offering any form of deferred payment options. The credit restriction was approved by Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson, who stated that the Tidö coalition government aims to “eliminate the dangers and risks of debt and financial harm within the gambling sector.” Minister Wykman supports this policy, emphasizing that “you simply should not bet using borrowed money,” positioning Sweden as introducing Europe’s strictest controls on credit-based gambling transactions as a core consumer safeguard. However, concerns have been raised to Spelinspektionen regarding the absence of a pilot phase before full enforcement of these new credit restrictions beginning May 2026. Operators note that the primary challenge lies in technical implementation, as Swedish authorities have acknowledged difficulties in tracing whether deposited funds ultimately come from credit sources once payments pass through bank accounts or e-wallets. Critics argue that the Ministry of Finance’s compliance directive has not yet undergone rigorous testing in today’s digital transaction environment, potentially resulting in legitimate users being barred from wagering on licensed platforms. The Ministry of Finance provided no clear guidance on modern payment systems involving fintech intermediaries, cross-border payment networks, cryptocurrency transfers, or potential circumvention via offshore operators. August overhaul of self-exclusion measures The next phase of Sweden’s compliance charter will take effect from 1 August, with the implementation of SIFS 2026:3, introducing enhanced self-exclusion and identity verification standards tied to an upgraded version of Spelpaus.se—the national central self-exclusion system. Under the revised technical framework, all gambling licensees must connect to a newly developed API infrastructure created by Spelinspektionen. This API will reference Spelpaus checks using regulator-issued Actor IDs and API Keys to carry out mandatory verification processes. These changes come amid growing pressure on Sweden’s responsible gambling infrastructure, with Spelpaus registrations now exceeding 134,500 individuals. The Inspectorate aims to transition Sweden toward real-time verification against the Spelpaus database, shifting self-exclusion controls from a passive consumer tool into an active operator compliance obligation—another groundbreaking protective measure introduced by a European gambling regulator. Knutsson appointed to lead Spelinspektionen The August self-exclusion reforms coincide with a leadership change at Spelinspektionen. Peter Knutsson has been confirmed as successor to Camilla Rosenberg, who has served as Director General since 2019. Peter Knutsson Prior to his appointment, Knutsson held roles including Sweden’s Advertising Ombudsman and senior positions related to financial supervision and consumer protection. Knutsson will oversee one of the most challenging periods of compliance adjustments faced by Swedish gambling licensees since the Gambling Act came into force in 2019. In assuming leadership of Spelinspektionen, Knutsson expressed support for stricter oversight and stronger compliance requirements for operators, stating that the regulator’s mission must prioritize consumer protection and reducing the societal risks associated with gambling. He inherits a regulatory landscape increasingly focused on consumer safeguards, payment monitoring, and real-time tracking duties, as Sweden evaluates whether tighter controls can enhance channelisation without pushing consumers toward unregulated offshore gambling options.

ChatBet Launches to Offer WhatsApp Conversational Betting in Latin America
(AsiaGameHub) - ChatBet has rolled out the third version of its platform, establishing itself as the conversational interface layer for the betting industry. This allows operators to provide a completely AI-powered, WhatsApp-integrated betting experience that complements their current tech infrastructure. As a B2B service provider, ChatBet integrates seamlessly on top of operators’ backend systems, introducing messaging as a fresh channel for customer acquisition, conversion, and retention—no modifications to existing backend infrastructure or extra regulatory clearances are needed. Supported by Meta as part of its WhatsApp Business ecosystem, ChatBet helps operators engage users on the platform they already frequent: messaging apps. Version three is currently active with several operators throughout Latin America, offering a more self-sufficient “AI bookmaker” experience that functions like a VIP concierge—converting natural language requests into fully structured, regulation-compliant betslips instantly. Josh Swerdlow, ChatBet’s founder, told SBC News: “We’re already operational with operators in Latin America—where WhatsApp is the leading user channel—and we’re observing robust indicators of engagement, conversion, and repeat usage. This transition isn’t just about chatbots; it’s about a new interaction framework, where conversational interfaces take the place of traditional navigation systems.” Markets like Argentina, Mexico, Chile, Peru, and Colombia are thought to have WhatsApp penetration rates of at least 75%, highlighting that Latin American users are both familiar with and at ease using the Meta-owned platform. ChatBet’s research further shows that bettors favor messaging apps over other types of mobile applications. ChatBet lets users place bets via WhatsApp by either sending a text or a voice note detailing the bet they want to make. The company’s AI system then handles the request and creates the bet, even if the message uses colloquial terms or slang. Check out an example of ChatBet in action for tonight’s Champions League semi-final second leg match between Bayern Munich and PSG below. For instance, a bettor might request to place a bet on “Los Blancos (often referred to as Galácticos in Latin America) to win by two goals”. ChatBet would identify that the bettor wants to wager on Real Madrid. ChatBet creates the betslip using the operator’s existing sportsbook setup, converting natural language requests into fully structured bets by mapping teams, markets, odds, and even relevant bonuses instantly. The system checks the bet against the operator’s live platform before showing the user a betslip ready for confirmation, eliminating the friction between a user’s intent to bet and the actual execution of that bet. In the initial weeks following the launch of the newest model version, ChatBet has delivered impressive outcomes. The solution has doubled clients’ conversion rates and increased average revenue per user by 22%. Swerdlow added: “Users are already sharing their betting intentions through conversations. This change is turning those intentions into structured, compliant bets instantly—and that’s exactly what ChatBet makes possible. Just as Google transformed search, conversational interfaces are beginning to revolutionize transactions. For betting, this means cutting down the friction between a user’s desire to bet and actually placing the bet. “Operators don’t have to overhaul their existing tech stack to leverage AI; they just need a more intelligent interface layer that works with what they already have.” ChatBet is expanding its partnerships with regulated operators across Latin America, using its position in the Meta ecosystem to link advertising, conversation, and conversion into a single trackable process. As adoption increases, Swerdlow predicts that conversational interfaces will become a key distribution channel for operators, allowing them to convert messaging interactions into measurable revenue and long-term player value.

Social Media Gambling Ads in the Netherlands Tarnish Industry Reputation
(AsiaGameHub) - According to reports from the research outlet Phys.org, gambling firms licensed in the Netherlands are actively promoting their services to young adults via social media platforms. By analyzing Meta’s advertising database, Dr Leon Y. Xiao identified a Facebook advertisement from the state-owned Holland Casino in early 2025. The statistics revealed that in under a week, the promotion reached 7,426 men and 9,704 women within the 18 to 24 age bracket. Another marketing campaign targeted young women by utilizing the "Get Ready With Me" makeup trend, featuring the logo for the online casino WinnItt. This brand is managed by TOTO Online BV, which is a subsidiary of another state-run entity, Nederlandse Loterij. Current Dutch gambling regulations require that all marketing efforts, for both digital and brick-and-mortar operators, must strictly avoid targeting individuals aged 18-24 on social media, as this demographic is viewed as particularly vulnerable. While Phys noted these cases as "minority examples," such infractions represent a significant blow to the reputation of the Netherlands' licensed gambling sector. Preventing these occurrences is vital, especially given the current climate where concerns regarding a growing illegal market are rising alongside increased political oversight from the new administration. This past February, Claudia Van Bruggen, the Dutch Secretary for Legal Protections, assumed responsibility for a series of Remote Gaming Act reforms initiated by her predecessor, Teun Struycken, which she must now oversee. Van Bruggen and her D66 party colleague, State Secretary of Finance Nathalie van Berkel, were recently called to account for consumer protection failures at Holland Casino—specifically an incident where individuals who had self-excluded were sent promotional materials during their cooling-off phase. With the Dutch regulated industry facing constant public scrutiny, it is more important than ever for regulators and licensed businesses to cooperate to prove that their commitment to consumer responsibility remains a top priority.

Why operators are quietly switching geolocation providers, according to GeoLocs
(AsiaGameHub) - As operators enter new regulated markets, geolocation is increasingly seen as essential for performance, compliance, and player experience. Once considered a static component of the tech stack, geolocation providers are now being reviewed more regularly due to evolving expectations around accuracy, scalability, and cost. GeoLocs, developed by mkodo, has emerged as a leading solution to address these challenges. Ben Scobie-Trumper, Head of Sales at mkodo, discusses why attitudes are changing, what factors are prompting providers to switch, and how geolocation is becoming a more strategic priority for operators. SBC News: Are you noticing operators becoming more open to switching geolocation providers? Ben Scobie-Trumper: Traditionally, operators have been reluctant to change their geolocation providers once a system is established, often assuming that switching would be complex, disruptive, or risky. However, this mindset is beginning to shift. As operators expand into additional markets and evaluate the effectiveness of their technology stacks, many are reassessing their geolocation arrangements. Based on our experience with operators through GeoLocs, provider changes are actually occurring more frequently than commonly believed. SBCN: What are the primary (publicly cited) reasons operators decide to change their geolocation provider? BST: The main drivers typically center on performance, scalability, and cost, particularly as the market continues to grow. Accuracy and reliability are crucial since they directly affect both revenue generation and regulatory compliance. False positives can prevent legitimate players from accessing services, while false negatives pose significant regulatory risks. Even minor improvements in accuracy can enhance player retention and increase betting activity. In parallel, scalability and robustness are becoming central topics in our discussions. Major events like the FIFA World Cup create massive spikes in traffic, requiring operators to ensure their geolocation systems maintain accuracy during millions—or even billions—of checks without latency or failure. Market expansion is another significant trend we’ve observed recently. As the industry develops and operators enter new regulated jurisdictions, they require solutions capable of adapting to different regulatory environments and network conditions without adding complexity. A notable example is Alberta; although the market isn’t fully open yet, operators are preparing ahead of time. At GeoLocs, we’re already operational in the region with a major lottery operator and have established a five-year relationship with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission. This partnership gives operators confidence that they’re working with a provider who understands the local requirements from the outset. Cost also plays a major role in decision-making. Some geolocation solutions rely on continuous location checks, which can become prohibitively expensive at scale. GeoLocs employs a more sophisticated approach by dynamically adjusting check frequency based on a player’s proximity to jurisdictional boundaries. This method enables operators to uphold compliance while significantly improving efficiency and reducing expenses. SBCN: Are there reasons operators switch providers that they don’t discuss publicly? BST: Indeed, and these reasons are not always shared openly. While compliance, accuracy, and cost are most often cited, sometimes the real issue is simply that the relationship with the current provider is no longer effective. Geolocation sits at the heart of regulatory compliance, so operators depend heavily on their provider for transparency, responsiveness, and technical support. When operators begin exploring alternatives, it’s frequently due to frustrations such as delayed support responses, limited access to performance data, or the perception that the underlying technology hasn’t kept pace with industry advancements. In such cases, while the technology may still function adequately, the partnership fails to deliver the value the operator requires. SBCN: Why do you think switching providers is becoming more common now? BST: Historically, many operators remained with their initial geolocation provider simply because they believed switching would be too difficult or costly. There was a widespread assumption that migrating to an alternative solution would involve extensive development efforts, disrupt player verification processes, raise compliance concerns, or incur significant expense. However, the technological landscape has advanced considerably. Modern geolocation platforms are designed to integrate seamlessly with existing operator infrastructure, meaning that switching is often far less disruptive than anticipated. At GeoLocs, we’ve seen customers successfully integrate with our platform within just five days. Simultaneously, operators are growing more comfortable reviewing every aspect of their technology stack—including payments and KYC tools—which are routinely evaluated. Geolocation is now beginning to receive similar scrutiny. To this end, operators no longer need to work exclusively with a single provider. We are observing an increasing number of operators choosing to partner with multiple geolocation providers. However, that topic deserves its own separate discussion. SBCN: What questions should operators be asking about their current geolocation setup? BST: The most important questions tend to be practical in nature. Operators should consider asking themselves: Are we unintentionally introducing friction into the player journey? Are legitimate players being blocked near jurisdictional borders? Have our location checks been optimized from a cost perspective? And most importantly, does our current solution have the capacity to scale alongside our growth into new markets? As operators expand internationally, these operational considerations take on much greater significance. SBCN: Finally, what should operators take away from this trend? BST: The key insight is that although geolocation operates quietly behind the scenes, its impact on the business is substantial. It influences compliance adherence, player experience, operational efficiency, and ultimately, revenue generation. As markets expand and competition intensifies, operators are increasingly scrutinizing every piece of technology that supports their platform. What we’re witnessing now is geolocation being included in broader strategic evaluations. Rather than treating it as a one-time integration that can be ignored thereafter, operators are recognizing that selecting the right technology—and ultimately, the right partner—can make a meaningful difference as they continue to grow.

Fosun Subsidiaries Post Solid Q1, Core Businesses Fuel Growth
HONG KONG, Apr 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Since April, Fosun International (HKEX: 0656)’s A-share listed subsidiaries have released their Q1 2026 results. The market views this reporting season as a key window to gauge Fosun’s capacity to restore earnings and deliver profits following risk clearance.In accordance with the principle of prudence, Fosun made one-off non-cash impairment provisions in the 2025 financial year on certain real estate projects with impairment indicators, as well as goodwill and intangible assets of non-core business segments. This move was aimed at sharpening focus on core businesses and high-growth areas. Guo Guangchang, Chairman of Fosun International, described the above strategic decision as “repairing the roof on a sunny day”, steering the Company toward a “leaner, healthier, and more sustainable direction”.According to the Q1 results, Fosun Pharma, a core subsidiary in Fosun’s Health segment, achieved operating revenue of RMB10.073 billion in Q1 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 6.93%, while net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent reached RMB871 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 13.87%. Excluding non-recurring gains and losses, net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent increased by 21.96% year-on-year.Yuyuan, a core subsidiary in Fosun’s Happiness segment, achieved operating revenue of RMB9.649 billion in Q1 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of nearly 10%, while net profit attributable to the parent company reached RMB157 million, representing a significant increase of 203% year-on-year. In addition, Shede Spirits and Hainan Mining recorded notable earnings growth, with net profits reaching RMB232 million and RMB201 million, respectively, in Q1 2026.Market analysis indicates that the subsidiaries’ Q1 results reflect an overall improving trend, underscoring Fosun’s clear growth trajectory following risk clearance in 2025. Fosun’s fundamentals across pharmaceuticals and healthcare, insurance and finance, and cultural tourism remain solid, while steady recovery in the consumer segment is expected to further sustain growth momentum.Innovative drugs show robust growth momentum, unlocking potential for rapid growth“We have always been committed to pharmaceutical innovation. By continuously strengthening our innovation pipeline, we are accelerating the clinical translation and commercialization of innovative technologies and products. We currently have multiple blockbuster candidates in the pipeline,” said Guo Guangchang. In his 2026 Letter to Shareholders, he repeatedly emphasized the Group’s strategic focus on innovative drugs.Entering 2026, commercialization of Fosun’s innovative drugs is accelerating. On 28 April, Fosun Pharma announced its Q1 2026 results. During the reporting period, the new drug application (NDA) for 4 innovative drugs were accepted, and 14 clinical trial applications for innovative drugs (calculated by approval) were approved by domestic and overseas regulatory authorities. Among them, denosumab injection (HLX14) secured approval in Canada, the NDA for bevacizumab injection (HLX04) was accepted in the United States, and the NDA for foritinib succinate capsules, methoxyetomidate hydrochloride injection, and one additional indication for FUMAINING were accepted by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA).Overall, these results continue the robust growth momentum of innovative drug recorded in 2025. Results show that in 2025, Fosun Pharma had 16 indications of its 7 innovative drugs approved for marketing in China and overseas markets, while marketing applications for 6 innovative drug candidates were accepted. Revenue from innovative drugs reached RMB9.893 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 29.59%, bringing the proportion of total pharmaceutical business revenue to 33.16%. As of the end of 2025, nearly 40 innovative drug clinical trials were approved by regulatory authorities in China, the United States and Europe, while multiple core products entered key clinical phases, laying a solid pipeline foundation for future commercial growth.As a benchmark enterprise for Fosun’s innovative drugs, Henlius has achieved rapid progress in innovative drug research and development (R&D) and commercialization since early 2026. In terms of R&D, HANSIZHUANG and HLX07 have both achieved breakthrough advances, and multiple potential “first-in-class” drugs are accelerating into clinical validation stages. Regarding global commercialization, Henlius entered into an exclusive commercialization and co-exclusive development and manufacturing license agreement with Eisai Co., Ltd. for HANSIZHUANG in Japan, with an aggregate potential consideration exceeding USD300 million. Meanwhile a subsidiary of Henlius obtained a Type I Marketing Authorization Holder (MAH) License for Pharmaceuticals from Tokyo Metropolitan Government, laying a solid foundation for further expansion into major Asian and global pharmaceutical markets.Fosun’s innovative pipeline has entered a phase of frequent approvals and accelerated commercialization. R&D investment and market returns are reinforcing each other in a virtuous cycle, providing strong support for sustained earnings growth and enhancing global competitiveness.Fosun subsidiaries across segments post solid results, reinforcing RMB10 billion profit targetThe growth momentum of innovative drugs signals Fosun’s improved performance. Meanwhile, Yuyuan, which was previously affected by impairments on real estate projects, has successfully navigated through the industry adjustment period, strengthening Fosun’s weakest segment.In Q1 2026, Yuyuan recorded net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent of RMB157 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 203%. Although the Q1 net profit remains modest, the strong growth momentum marks a positive turning point in Yuyuan’s operating fundamentals, with subsequent earnings recovery expected to further unfold.Shede Spirits, another subsidiary in Fosun’s consumer segment, has also successfully returned to a growth trajectory. In Q1 2026, it achieved operating revenue of RMB1.481 billion, representing a quarter-on-quarter increase of 106.45%. Meanwhile, its net profit reached RMB232 million, surpassing the net profit of RMB223 million for the full year of 2025.It is worth noting that Hainan Mining in the Intelligent Manufacturing segment delivered remarkable results. Driven by rising downstream demand for energy storage and power batteries, Hainan Mining achieved operating revenue of RMB1.193 billion and a net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent of RMB201 million in Q1 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 25.13% and a significant quarter-on-quarter increase of 69%. The integrated lithium resource value chain operated steadily, contributing RMB99 million in net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent in Q1 and emerging as a core earnings growth driver. Additionally, the oil and gas business achieved stable production with improved efficiency. During the reporting period, the attributable oil and gas output amounted to 3.1865 million barrel equivalents, representing a year-on-year increase of 15.78%.Profit growth at subsidiaries across multiple segments is accelerating, strengthening market confidence in the certainty of Fosun’s future earnings momentum.Previously, Fosun’s management team clearly set out its medium-term financial roadmap at the 2025 annual results presentation: aiming to gradually restore a profit to the RMB10 billion level, targeting RMB60 billion in cash returns at the group level, bringing group-level total debt down to under RMB60 billion, and striving to achieve an “investment-grade” rating.To illustrate its plan to achieve the “RMB10 billion profit” target, Fosun’s management team explained the “8424” restructuring framework. The “8” corresponds to RMB8 billion in profit from the four core subsidiaries—Fosun Pharma, Yuyuan, Fosun Insurance Portugal, and Fosun Tourism Group; the first “4” reflects RMB4 billion in profit from second-tier subsidiaries such as Hainan Mining and Peak Reinsurance; the “2” represents approximately RMB2 billion in profit from investment-oriented enterprises; and the final “4” refers to a cap of RMB4 billion on group-level costs, including financing expenses. After these “additions and subtractions”, the Group aims to restore a profit level of RMB10 billion.Fosun’s Q1 results across business segments not only met market expectations following its “repair the roof on a sunny day” efforts, but also reinforced confidence in restoring the RMB10 billion profit level. Analysts note that continued innovative drug commercialization, rapid growth in insurance, and stabilization in cultural tourism and consumer businesses position Fosun to further unlock growth momentum. Investors are advised to closely monitor full-year earnings growth and valuation recovery.Backed by confidence in its long-term prospects, Fosun is actively repurchasing shares. Between 30 March, the date of the 2025 annual results announcement, and 27 April, Fosun International cumulatively repurchased 25.41 million shares. According to company announcements, the share buyback program is expected to continue.Recently, leading domestic and international securities firms such as Citi, UBS, Guotai Haitong, and China Securities have published research reports expressing optimism about Fosun’s outlook. Citi highlighted that, based on the improving fundamentals, Fosun International is expected to deliver strong results in 2026. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Lalamove 2025年履约订单破10亿 持续扩张海外业务
香港, 2026年5月6日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 在全球经济转型与数字化浪潮的交汇点上，物流科技的领军者Lalamove再次以一份亮眼的营运数据及财务业绩证明了其商业模式的强劲增长。2025年，这家发迹于香港的独角兽企业正式迈入“十亿订单俱乐部”，全球履行订单量突破 10.27 亿笔。这不仅是一个数字上的飞跃，更代表了数字化同城货运平台在提高社会运输效率、优化供需匹配上的巨大成就。检视其近三年发展，Lalamove全球成交总额（GTV）由 2023 年的 94.143 亿美元，稳步增长至 2025 年的 133.211 亿美元，复合年增长率高达19.0%。这种在高基数上依然保持双位数增长的势头，显示出其闭环货运交易模式已经在全球市场成为了不可忽视的重要力量。海外占比持续提升 收入高速增长在整体业绩持续攀升的过程中，海外业务的快速崛起无疑是最具亮点的战略转折。2025年，Lalamove在境外市场的扩张脚步显著加快，海外货运 GTV 达到 10.863 亿美元，相较 2024 年同期的 8.296 亿美元，录得高达 31% 的大幅增长，直接带动海外占总GTV占比，由 2024 年的 7.5% 上升至 2025 年的 8.2%。此数据清晰地传递出一个信号：海外业务已是转变为集团整体贡献度的核心增长引擎。对于投资市场而言，海外占比的持续提升，意味著公司成功突破了地域边界，在不同的文化与市场环境下展现出极强的适配能力与变现效率。能够在全球范围内迅速渗透，在于Lalamove敏锐地捕捉到了全球公路货运数字化程度偏低的行业痛点。根据弗若斯特沙利文的资料显示，2025 年全球只有 2.6% 的公路货运 GTV 是通过数字平台促成，这意味着高达 97.4% 的市场仍处于传统且碎片化的运作模式中。随著互联网基础设施的普及与企业营运效率要求的提升，预计未来数年这一数字将迅速增长，并于 2030 年达到 3.4%。根据市场预测，全球线上货运服务平台闭环货运 GTV 将增至 2030 年的 442 亿美元，复合年增长率预计达 13.7%，而公司正处于这股巨浪的前沿。战略布局东南亚、拉丁美洲 成功开拓中东市场深入探讨海外市场的构成，东南亚与拉丁美洲无疑是Lalamove全球战略中的下一站。公司是首批进入东南亚市场并取得领导地位的先行者。资料显示，海外同城公路货运市场的总体规模极为庞大，2025 年的市场总 GTV 约为中国市场规模的 2.4 倍，这为公司提供了广阔的潜在增长空间。特别是在东南亚及拉美市场，2025 年合计 GTV 已达 1,292 亿美元，预计将以 3.8% 的复合年增长率增长至 2030 年的 1,558 亿美元。事实上，Lalamove自 2014 年进入东南亚以来，便以先驱者的位置深耕各地市场，将成功的香港经验转化为出海智慧，目前已跨越 14 个主要地区，包括泰国、菲律宾、新加坡、印尼、越南、马来西亚、墨西哥、巴西及孟加拉等。这种从区域领先到全球扩张的跃进，不仅依靠资本的推动，更源于其对不同市场营运环境的深刻洞察。除了成熟市场，Lalamove亦在不断开拓具备高增长潜力的蓝海。公司正以试验方式探索中东等新兴市场，例如土耳其及中东国家。这些地区近年来积极推动物流基础设施升级与经济多元化转型，对高效、灵活的即时货运服务需求殷切。公司将全球化思维与本地化战略紧密结合，目前业务已覆盖全球超过 400 个城市。这种广泛的网络布局，不仅形成了强大的品牌溢价，更让平台在资源调配与成本控制上具备了显著的规模优势。无论是在繁华的曼谷街头，还是高速发展的杜拜商业区，Lalamove 橙色的标志已成为高效物流的象征。多元化物流潜力大 料成新增长引擎支撑这一庞大全球版图的，是其多元化且极具深度的服务体系，不仅提供核心的货运平台服务，更通过数字化平台匹配和完成商户与司机之间的同城及跨城交易。在收入模式上，Lalamove采用了成熟的混合变现机制，主要来自司机折扣计划费以及司机完成订单后的佣金。除此之外，为了满足不同客户群体的需求，公司还发展出多元化的物流解决方案，包括为大型企业商户定制的综合企业服务、针对散货运输的零担服务，以及在消费市场极具口碑的搬家服务。这些业务相互协同，构建了一个全方位、多层次的物流生态系统。2025 年的数据显示，Lalamove平台平均月活商户约 2,130 万个，平均月活司机高达 210 万名。这种庞大的双向流量储备，在货运平台行业中构建了极高的竞争壁垒。Lalamove非常重视对司机端的赋能与生态建设。除了核心的配货服务外，平台还提供一系列增值服务，包括车辆租售服务及能源服务等。同时注重司机权益保障，如优化抽佣比例及提供职业伤害保障等措施，不仅提升平台吸引力，更符合全球监管趋势。这些服务不仅有效提升了司机的经营效率与收入保障，更进一步增强了司机对平台的归属感与黏性，是无形的业务护城河。注重司机权益保障 满足客户需求转变从盈利表现来看，Lalamove展现卓越的财务纪律与获利能力。收入由 2023 年的 13.342 亿美元增加至 2025 年的 21.392 亿美元，复合年增长率高达 26.6%，高于 GTV 的增速，显示出平台变现质量的持续优化。更重要是在盈利能力方面，公司于 2023 年、2024 年及 2025 年分别录得 3.906 亿美元、5.008 亿美元及 5.603 亿美元的经调整利润。这种持续且稳定的盈利纪录，是反映有效控制成本，在科技成长股中显得尤为珍贵。其过往招股资料显示，公司是 2025 年全球闭环货运交易总值最大的物流交易平台，市场份额高达 53.1%。Lalamove的战略蓝图已愈来愈清晰。随著全球线上货运服务平台闭环 GTV 预期在 2030 年达到 442 亿美元，公司将继续发挥其在东南亚与拉美的领先优势，并通过持续的技术创新与市场渗透，捕获更多尚未开发的增长机会。从香港走向全球，这个故事不仅是一个商业模式的成功转移，更是一个数字化平台如何赋能全球中小企业、提升司机福祉并降低社会物流成本的范例。凭借著跨越十亿订单的底气与深耕海外的决心，Lalamove将在国际物流舞台上扮演更加举足轻重的角色，继续为全球公路货运产业写下新篇章而努力。 Copyright 2026 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Neautus Files for Hong Kong Listing, Highlighting Sustained Growth and Strengthening Cash Flow Quality
HONG KONG, May 6, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) decoction pieces sector continues to expand steadily, while its industry structure evolves toward greater standardization and consolidation.Against this backdrop, Sichuan Neautus Traditional Chinese Medicine (Pieces) Co., Ltd. (“Neautus”) has completed its filing with the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) for overseas issuance and submitted its listing application to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on April 30, 2026. The development marks a meaningful step in bringing a traditionally fragmented industry closer to capital markets, with increasing investor focus on sustainable growth, operational discipline, and cash flow quality.Scale and Standardization Position Leaders to BenefitDespite its large market size, estimated at around RMB 300 billion, the TCM decoction pieces industry remains relatively fragmented, leaving substantial room for consolidation. As regulatory standards continue to improve and healthcare procurement systems become more structured, competition is increasingly centered on supply chain capability, production standardization, quality control, and distribution efficiency.In this environment, companies with established scale and standardized production systems are well positioned to benefit from ongoing industry upgrades. As standardization deepens and regulatory oversight strengthens, these advantages are expected to translate into gradual and sustained market share gains.Sustained Growth with Strengthening ProfitabilityNeautus has delivered sustained revenue growth in recent years, with revenue increasing from RMB 1.146 billion in 2023 to RMB 1.335 billion in 2025.Profitability has also improved alongside revenue expansion. Net profit for 2025 reached approximately RMB 106 million, while adjusted net profit, excluding listing-related expenses, rose to around RMB 127 million.In the TCM decoction pieces sector, margins are generally stable rather than high, with profitability primarily driven by scale efficiency, cost control, and operational execution. Neautus’ performance reflects effective expansion under this model, supporting more sustainable and consistent profit growth while maintaining a well-balanced alignment with the needs of the healthcare system and ensuring stable and reliable supply to medical institutions.Cash Flow Improvement Reinforces Earnings QualityThe company’s operating cash flow has improved significantly, rising from RMB 74.85 million in 2023 to RMB 154 million in 2025.This trend highlights strengthening cash generation and improving earnings quality. The ability to translate revenue growth into operating cash flow is a key indicator of operational efficiency and financial discipline, and provides a solid foundation for future expansion.Enhanced cash flow also supports greater financial flexibility, enabling the company to invest in capacity, quality systems, and channel development while maintaining balance sheet stability.Disciplined Financial Structure Supports Sustainable GrowthNeautus maintains a balanced and disciplined financial structure. Accounts receivable have grown broadly in line with revenue and remain predominantly short-term in nature, with minimal long-aging exposure, indicating strong collection capability and customer quality.At the same time, payables have remained stable, suggesting that the company has not relied on extending supplier credit to support growth. This reflects a measured and sustainable approach to working capital management.Leverage levels have also improved, with the gearing ratio declining to 47% in 2025. Overall, the company’s financial profile demonstrates prudent risk management while supporting continued business expansion.Cost Management Capability Enhances ResilienceIn recent years, elevated raw material prices have increased cost pressure across the TCM decoction pieces industry, placing greater emphasis on procurement capability and operational efficiency.Companies with stronger scale advantages are typically better positioned to manage such volatility, benefiting from improved bargaining power and cost control. Neautus’ ability to sustain growth during periods of higher input costs reflects operational resilience and effective cost management.As raw material prices gradually stabilize, the industry may enter a phase of margin recovery, with companies that have established scale and efficiency advantages potentially seeing further improvement in profitability.Leadership and Strategic PositioningNeautus’ management team combines deep industry experience with technical expertise. Founder Jiang Yun has extensive experience in the pharmaceutical sector and was an early participant in advancing GMP-based production systems for TCM decoction pieces.He has also been actively involved in industry standard-setting, including serving on the 10th Chinese Pharmacopoeia Committee. His contribution to the development of a DNA-based identification system for Chinese medicinal materials, now incorporated into the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, reflects a long-term focus on standardization and quality control.At the management level, Jiang Ercheng, with a biochemistry background from the University of California, Los Angeles and Hong Kong Baptist University, is involved in research and strategic initiatives.This combination of operational depth and standardization expertise may support the company’s strategic positioning as the industry continues to consolidate and move toward higher regulatory and quality standards.Capital Market Progress Signals Industry MomentumThe TCM decoction pieces sector is supported by stable demand fundamentals, significant market size, and increasing regulatory standardization. At the same time, relatively low industry concentration continues to provide room for leading enterprises to expand.In this context, Neautus’ listing progression represents not only an important corporate milestone but also a broader signal of the sector’s accelerating integration with capital markets.Looking ahead, the company appears to be building a balanced development profile across growth, profitability, and cash flow. As industry consolidation advances and standardization deepens, companies with scale, operational discipline, and financial strength are expected to play an increasingly prominent role, with long-term value gradually becoming more visible to the market.

德国官员警告：伊斯兰主义与极左言论正推动反犹袭击激增
(SeaPRwire) - 德国正面临反犹主义急剧上升，官员们警告称，伊斯兰主义者和极左翼网络正在利用中东战争煽动反犹太言论，动员支持者，并对犹太社区造成骚扰和暴力。根据黑森州宪法保护办公室的一项研究，这些团体利用以色列-哈马斯战争和更广泛的地区紧张局势作为借口，放大反犹叙事，声称加沙正在发生“种族灭绝”，并将以色列描绘成一个殖民国家。当局表示，此类言论正越来越多地被用来为对犹太人的敌意，甚至在某些情况下为暴力行为辩护。德国内政部长罗曼·博塞克警告称，这一趋势正在升级。他在一份声明中表示：“反犹主义是对我们社会凝聚力的最大威胁之一——尤其是来自伊斯兰主义和左翼极端主义阵营。”这些发展引发了更广泛的担忧，官员和犹太领袖警告称，与中东冲突相关的类似反犹主义言论模式正在包括美国在内的西方民主国家出现。鉴于德国因其历史和对仇恨言论的法律框架而被长期视为风向标，这些发现被视为主流话语如何从边缘走向主流的警示信号。博塞克委托黑森州宪法保护办公室撰写报告，他警告称社会氛围正在恶化，并表示：“反犹主义情绪在公共空间中变得越来越无法容忍。” “我深感羞愧，80年第二次世界大战结束后，德国的犹太人仍然要遭受这样的苦难，”他继续说道。“特别是我们德国人，有责任永远记住所发生的一切。”德国中央犹太人委员会的一份新全国调查报告显示，在被调查的102个犹太社区中，有46个社区报告了反犹主义事件，突显了威胁的日益扩大。该调查中最常见的事件包括言语辱骂、威胁电话、破坏公物和反犹涂鸦。68%的受访者表示，自2023年10月7日哈马斯对以色列发动袭击以来，他们感觉在德国生活不再那么安全。中央委员会主席约瑟夫·施特劳斯在一份新闻稿中说：“10月7日之后反犹主义激增，一种‘新常态’已经形成。”“在这种新情况下，犹太社区需要持续的保护，反犹主义已经成为公共领域的一种常态。”报告还发现，更广泛的地缘政治发展继续直接影响德国的犹太社区。62%的受访者表示，伊朗参与的近期战争加剧了他们的不安全感，而三分之二的受访者认为加沙停火并没有改善他们的安全状况。犹太领袖表示，这些影响正在日常生活中显现。许多犹太人越来越避免公开表明自己的身份，例如佩戴大卫之星或犹太小圆帽（基帕），因为他们担心受到骚扰。在某些情况下，由于安全考虑，一些活动已被取消。与此同时，报告强调感知到的社会支持大幅下降。只有35%的社区表示感受到更广泛市民社会的团结，而这一数字在2023年为62%。当局表示，此类言论的常态化正在改变可接受公共讨论的界限。这些发现凸显出日益增长的担忧，即曾经被视为局限于边缘的反犹主义正在公共生活中变得更加明显，使犹太社区感到越来越孤立和无助。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
Entain confirms Ricky Sandler’s exit after Eminence Capital closure
(AsiaGameHub) - Entain has verified that Ricky Sandler, the founder of Eminence Capital, has stepped down from his role as Non-Executive Director. This announcement comes after the reported shutdown of the Eminence fund last week, during which Sandler noted that the business had “fallen short of our very high standard and your expectations”. Eminence was understood to be the third-largest shareholder in Entain, owning roughly 6.5% of the Ladbrokes Coral parent company. Sandler took his seat on the board in early 2024. Sandler’s history with Entain During that era, and indeed beforehand, he was highly critical of the company’s $766m (£565m) purchase of Polish operator STS Group, calling the move “perplexing on many levels”. However, he seems to have built a friendly rapport with Entain Chairman Pierre Bouchut and current CEO Stella David. David was the interim CEO when Sandler joined, taking over after Jette Nygaard-Andersen left. It should be noted that the STS Group deal was finalized under Nygaard-Andersen’s watch, following her departure amid claims she was losing favour with shareholders.Addressing Sandler’s exit, Bouchut remarked: “On behalf of the board, I thank Ricky for his support over the past two years. “Thanks to his contributions the company is in a stronger position and is well equipped to capitalise on the many opportunities in the global sports betting and gaming market.”Entain was not the only gambling firm in Eminence’s portfolio; they also held stakes in US-listed DraftKings and Flutter Entertainment, though Sandler did not sit on the board of either. Since joining Entain, Sandler witnessed the company navigate numerous challenges, including tax hikes across Europe—especially in the UK—as well as management changes and store closures. Nonetheless, in his final statement as an Entain Director, Sandler reiterated his belief in the company. “It has been a pleasure to have served on the Entain board for the last two years,” he stated. “During that time, Entain has seen significant operational transformation, and the business is well positioned to deliver continuing strong growth. I have the utmost confidence in Entain’s management and board to deliver enhanced shareholder value. “Entain shares are held in accounts and funds managed by Eminence Capital, which will be liquidated in an orderly manner, without any pre-determined time constraints, with the intention of maximising value realisation.” Ricky Sandler. Credit: Eminence Capital Sandler’s departure arrives shortly after Entain released its Q1 2026 results, which showed resilience despite the tax issues mentioned earlier. The firm posted a 3% rise in group-wide Q1 revenue, with strong showings in the UK, Ireland, and Australia. The company stays on the FTSE 100—the London Stock Exchange’s leading index—and executives are confident about gaining market share, even though it now sits as the 94th most valuable company on the index with a market cap of about £3.63bn.

Meridian Holdings Reports $2.3m Net Profit in Q1 Under New Identity
(AsiaGameHub) - Meridian Holdings has achieved a significant milestone, reporting its initial profitable quarter since adopting its new corporate identity. In the first quarter, Golden Matrix Group Inc (GMGI), listed on NASDAQ, finalized its rebranding to Meridian Holdings, also changing its ticker to MRDN as part of a broader strategic shift to become a multi-market gaming entity. Upon releasing its Q1 financial results, Meridian disclosed total group revenue of $50.1 million (£37 million), representing a 17% increase year-over-year from $42.5 million. Gross profit climbed to $28.1 million (a 16% rise), with profit margins remaining consistent at 56.2%, largely mirroring the previous year's figures. Meridianbet, which stands as the largest gambling company in Serbia and Montenegro, remains the primary engine of growth. This segment contributed $34.9 million in Q1 revenue, a 26% year-over-year increase, making up almost 70% of the group's overall revenues. Meridian's corporate financial statements revealed a net income of $2.3 million, marking its inaugural profitable quarter since adopting the new identity structure. This indicates that its restructuring and rebranding efforts are starting to yield positive financial outcomes. Chairman William Scott characterized this quarter as a pivotal moment for the company. Scott stated, “This quarter represents a significant achievement in our trajectory of growth.” “We achieved revenues consistent with our projections, surpassed our profitability forecasts, and further solidified our balance sheet, all while investing in our proprietary technology and extending our presence into regulated markets,” he added. Enhanced balance sheet performance was a prominent aspect of the report. Net debt decreased by 62% year-over-year to $13.4 million, and total debt was reduced by over 50%. The group concluded the quarter with $16.2 million in cash, demonstrating a more prudent financial position post-transformation. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) showed new customer registrations climbing 41% year-on-year to almost 500,000, with active users growing 21% to 333,700. This underscores sustained demand across both physical and online platforms. In other areas, RKings Competitions recorded $7.7 million in sales within the UK, bolstered by better per-customer economics. In Australia, Classics for a Cause surpassed 10,000 VIP subscribers, and Mexplay, the group's brand targeting Mexico, saw its registrations more than triple year-on-year to 74,000. For the upcoming period, Meridian projects Q2 revenues to be between $51 million and $53 million, suggesting ongoing double-digit year-over-year growth of 18% to 23%. Meridianbet identifies substantial growth prospects in its core markets of Serbia and Montenegro, which are undergoing regulatory changes in the second half of the year. To conclude the update, Chairman William Scott reiterated the company's commitment to profitability as Meridian proceeds with its search for a new CEO, following Brian Goodman's departure in December 2025. Scott further stated: “These outcomes affirm that our transformation efforts are yielding results. Meridian Holdings now operates with enhanced discipline, more robust cash flow fundamentals, and a distinct path toward sustained long-term expansion.” This article is provided by a third-party.

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

(SeaPRwire) - 以色列国防军（IDF）声称击毙了一名参与10月7日事件的哈马斯指挥官。以色列国防军表示，在加沙地带的一次针对性打击中，哈马斯指挥官阿纳斯·穆罕默德·易卜拉欣·哈马德被击毙。该指挥官曾于10月7日潜入以色列境内并参与了位于诺瓦音乐节的屠杀事件。“以色列国防军于周一对加沙地带中心地区实施打击，击毙了隶属于‘努赫巴’部队的阿纳斯·穆罕默德·易卜拉欣·哈马德。此人系哈马斯恐怖组织的成员，在2023年10月7日的血腥屠杀中入侵以色列领土并袭击了诺瓦音乐节，”以色列国防军周二早晨在其X平台上发文称。以色列国防军指出，哈马德是“对以色列国防军在加沙地带行动的即时威胁”，并称其是在一次精确空袭中被“消灭”的。以色列国防军表示，其部队已“根据协议部署在该区域，并将继续行动以清除任何潜在威胁”。“努赫巴”在阿拉伯语中意为精英部队，它是哈马斯军事分支“卡桑旅”的特种部队。以色列国防军和“反极端主义计划”均表示，上述两个单位在10月7日的屠杀事件中发挥了重要作用。“卡桑旅”负责策划和执行此次袭击。据以色列国防军2024年8月发布的评估显示，在6,000名入侵以色列的恐怖分子中，超过3,800人是“努赫巴”战士。10月7日的袭击导致超过1,300名以色列人死亡，并引发了以色列在加沙地带的大规模军事行动。在此轮军事行动中，以色列国防军已击毙两名“卡桑旅”指挥官以及该组织领导层中的多名重要成员。2024年7月的一次针对性打击击毙了时任“卡桑旅”指挥官穆罕默德·戴夫。2025年5月，另一次空袭又将其继任者穆罕默德·辛瓦尔击毙。此次以色列对加沙地带的最新一轮空袭发生在特朗普总统斡旋达成的停火协议签署后不到七个月之际。以色列国防军指责哈马斯于2月份违反停火协议，利用救护车在加沙地带转运恐怖分子和武器。哈马斯也指控以色列频繁发动空袭，从而违反了停火协议。“特蕾西·英格斯特上周向国务卿马尔科·卢比奥提问，若哈马斯拒绝放下武器，是否意味着特朗普政府将支持以色列恢复在加沙地带的军事行动。”“我们希望可以避免出现这种局面。这不是我们期望的结果，”卢比奥告诉英格斯特。“我们希望的是，哈马斯能够解除武装，同时建立一个巴勒斯坦安全力量，并得到国际安全力量的协助，以确保加沙地带的安全。”Digital已向以色列国防军和白宫发出采访请求，但尚未收到回复。约纳特·弗里林为本报道做出了贡献。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
