香港，2025年10月12日 - (亚太商訊) - 香港中旅国际投资有限公司（「中旅国际」或「公司」，连同其附属公司统称「集团」）（股份代号：308）发布公告，宣布建议向股东实施建议分派。据此，中旅国际将旅游地产业务进行内部重组，使该业务由私人公司持有，并透过实物分派私人公司股份将旅游地产业务从集团分拆。集团此举将能够将不再从事亏损的旅游地产业务，简化营运，并在核心业务部署更多资源，以改善集团整体盈利能力及前景。基于建议分派，实物分派应按每股股份对应一股私人公司股份的基准实施；及根据现金替代应就选择现金的股东持有的每一股股份支付0.336港元现金代价，该金额约占公告日期前最后一个交易日联交所所报每股股份收市价1.53港元的22%。根据建议分派，股东可选择：根据其于记录日期在中旅国际的持股比例收取私人公司股份；或收取现金替代（若股东选择不接受及获取私人公司股份；根据适用法律和法规无法或不被允许持有私人公司股份，及/或未有响应选择、接受及获取私人公司股份的相关请求）。倘建议分派在股东特别大会上经股东批准，如有任何股东不希望参与建议分派，可在股份有权参与建议分派的最后一个交易日（预期为二零二五年十一月十七日（星期一），具体时间根据载于通函内的最终时间表而定）或之前出售股份。于建议分派完成后，私人公司将不再为中旅国际附属公司，并将由控股股东及选择实物分派的股东透过持有私人公司股份而持有，中旅国际将继续经营保留业务，而股份将继续于联交所上市。中旅国际董事认为建议分派符合公司及股东的最佳利益。原因包括：(i) 旅游地产业务于截至二零二五年六月三十日止六个月内持续表现欠佳。管理层预期，旅游地产业务的未来盈利能力存在若干不确定因素。物业开发属资本密集型业务，具有固有的周期性风险。透过建议分派，集团旨在降低整体债务水平，并尽量减少对波动性地产市场的风险；(ii)建议分派将使集团精简其营运，且可集中资源于旅游景区及其它具较高增长潜力且有助集团长远实现更佳盈利能力的业务；(iii)旅游景区业务较高的利润率被当前旅游地产业务较低的利润率摊薄，导致投资者难以单独评估旅游景区业务的价值。于建议分派后，集团将专注于配置更多资源及着重发展保留业务；及(iv)建议分派可为股东提选择权。由于私人公司将为私营公司，故亦将提供现金替代，此举可为不愿持有私营公司股份的股东提供流动性及灵活性。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

MOSCOW, Oct 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Open Dialogue international platform announced Tuesday the launch of its 2026 International Essay Contest, inviting young professionals and thought leaders worldwide to submit proposals addressing global economic challenges and opportunities for sustainable development.Young Professionals Worldwide Invited to Submit Visions for Economic and Social TransformationThe initiative was unveiled by Maxim Oreshkin, program director and economic development adviser, during the "Inventing the Future" international symposium held in Moscow this week. The contest builds on the success of the project's inaugural competition, which attracted 696 essays written in 16 languages from participants representing 102 countries."We are launching the second International Essay Contest to engage young, energetic authors from diverse professions and cultures," Oreshkin said during his keynote address at the symposium. "We seek innovative visions for the future - the future of the individual, society, economies, and our entire planet."The Open Dialogue project, established as an independent international platform for cross-cultural exchange and economic discourse, aims to facilitate meaningful conversations between emerging leaders and established experts on pressing global issues. Contest organizers emphasized that selected proposals will be compiled into a comprehensive report for review by international economic development panels and think tanks.The contest's first edition demonstrated significant global engagement, with submissions exploring themes ranging from sustainable urban development to digital transformation in emerging markets. According to program statistics, the initial competition resulted in 100 finalists being selected for an international forum in Moscow, where they presented their concepts to industry leaders, academics, and policy advisers."The diversity of perspectives we received - from technology entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley to social innovators in Sub-Saharan Africa - highlighted the universal nature of the challenges we face and the creative solutions emerging from different corners of the world," said Anna Petrova, the contest's international coordinator.The 2026 contest expands on previous themes while introducing new categories focused on artificial intelligence ethics, climate adaptation strategies, and inclusive economic models. Participants can submit essays in their native languages, with translations provided by the organizing committee to ensure broader accessibility and evaluation fairness.The initiative connects with a broader domestic program called "Dreams of the Future," which engaged 4,000 young professionals across Russia through creative video submissions. That program required participants to envision future scenarios beginning with the phrase "We want to create a future in which..." while incorporating references to science fiction literature curated by cultural institutions.Educational partnerships have been established with universities in Europe, Asia, and the Americas to promote participation and provide academic support for contestants. The Open Dialogue platform has also launched dedicated social media channels and online resources, including webinars and mentorship programs, to support participants throughout the submission process.Contest submissions will be evaluated by an international jury comprising economists, social scientists, technology experts, and sustainability specialists. The evaluation criteria include innovation, feasibility, potential global impact, and alignment with sustainable development objectives.Winners will receive opportunities for international internships, research grants, and participation in global economic forums. The top 100 finalists will be invited to Moscow for a week-long summit featuring workshops, networking sessions, and presentations to international organizations.The Open Dialogue project represents part of a growing trend of international platforms seeking to engage younger generations in addressing global challenges through collaborative approaches. Similar initiatives have emerged in recent years, including the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers Community and various United Nations youth engagement programs.Oreshkin noted that the most promising proposals would receive support for pilot implementation through partnerships with development organizations and private sector sponsors. "We're not just collecting ideas - we're building pathways to turn visionary concepts into tangible solutions," he stated.The contest accepts submissions through March 31, 2026, with preliminary results announced in May. Final presentations and awards ceremony are scheduled for October 2026 in Moscow, coinciding with an international economic development conference.Registration and submission guidelines are available in multiple languages on the Open Dialogue platform's website. Organizers confirmed that all broadcasts and recordings of related events, including preparatory webinars and the final ceremony, will be available through the project's social networks and digital channels.The initiative has garnered support from international academic institutions, youth organizations, and economic development agencies seeking fresh perspectives on persistent global challenges.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithrussiaVK: https://vk.com/gowithrussiaOK: https://ok.ru/gowithrussiaDZen: https://dzen.ru/gowithrussiaContact for the mediaBrand: Russia National CentreContact: Media teamWebsite: https://russia.ruEssay Submission: https://dialog.russia.ru/en/ Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – In October 2025, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK) reached another key milestone in its robotics business. Following the viral success of its first “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” (provisional name) Robot Experience Store at Beijing Shougang Park, the company has officially brought the brand to Chengdu’s Chunxi Road, one of China’s most prominent retail landmarks.This marks the start of Shoucheng’s national expansion in consumer robotics and the acceleration of its “Industrial Investment–Consumer Scenario Integration” model.I. From Beijing to Chengdu: Nationwide Expansion UnderwayDuring the National Day holiday, Shoucheng’s inaugural robot experience brand, “Taozhu New Creation Bureau,” debuted at Beijing’s Rongshi Plaza (R+ Life Center). According to Beijing Daily, the store attracted over 3,000 daily visitors and generated sales in the tens of thousands of yuan. As China’s first long-term operational retail space dedicated to consumer robotics, the store showcases over 200 products from portfolio companies such as Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot and Booster Robotics. Covering categories from home companionship and education to healthcare and entertainment, the store allows the public to see, touch, and purchase robotic products—bringing “future technology” into everyday life.Building on that success, from October 7 to 15, Shoucheng brought “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” to Chengdu Chunxi Road, opening its first store in Southwest China while participating in the IAMHERE·Chunxi Future Robotics Interactive Exhibition.The exhibition featured more than 20 cutting-edge robotic products, spanning humanoid robots, AI foundational models, intelligent perception systems, and educational technologies.Chunxi Road, with annual foot traffic exceeding 200 million visitors, is widely recognized as the premier destination for brand debuts in Western China.A representative from Chengdu’s Jinjiang District commented, “Shoucheng’s decision to open its first Southwest store here reflects confidence in Chunxi Road’s consumption power and its influence on ‘first-launch’ brands. This will serve as a benchmark for the commercialization of tech products in China.”II. Consumer Robotics in Action: The Integration of Technology and LifestyleAt the Chengdu “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” exhibition area, humanoid and bionic robots from Songyan Dynamics, the Unitree B2 quadruped and G1 humanoid robots, AI companion robot Regis by Qimiao Labi, educational assistant robots by Aibingo, and AI chess-playing robots by SenseRobot drew significant public attention.Visitors gathered to interact with robots, take photos, and even place purchase inquiries.One attendee remarked, “I didn’t realize robots were already this close to daily life—my child’s been begging to take the chess robot home.”According to Chengdu Xingjin Commercial Investment Service Co., the exhibition drew over 12,000 visitors on the opening day, with several products achieving on-site sales conversions.Beyond its retail success, the event provided real-time consumer feedback, offering valuable insights for robotic product iteration and market readiness.Industry analysts note that Shoucheng’s experience-store-driven C-end model is becoming a practical path for bringing hard technology into everyday consumption. By combining immersive interaction with instant purchasing, Shoucheng is building a replicable template for retailing intelligent robots in China.III. From Industrial Investment to Consumer Application: Building a Full B2C EcosystemShoucheng’s presence in the robotics industry is not a short-term experiment.As one of China’s leading intelligent infrastructure asset operators, the company manages the Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund, with assets exceeding RMB 10 billion (approx. USD 1.4 billion), focusing on embodied intelligence and core component technologies.The company has invested in leading players including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, Galaxea, and Quanzhi Intelligence, establishing a complete value chain spanning upstream components, midstream manufacturing, and downstream applications.Its strategic logic follows a “Invest Early – Land Fast – Scale Quickly” model: Invest Early: Secure stakes in key robotics companies at early stages. Land Fast: Validate commercial readiness through real-world retail channels. Scale Quickly: Leverage user data to accelerate iteration and commercialization.A Shoucheng representative explained, “Commercial success in robotics depends not only on breakthroughs in technology but on real-world application. Through experience stores, we aim to bridge our investment portfolio with consumer behavior, turning advanced robotics into tangible lifestyle products.”IV. Southwest Headquarters: Integrating Industry, Consumption, and Regional EconomyBehind the Chengdu launch lies a broader regional strategy.Shoucheng has established its first Southwest regional robotics subsidiary in Chengdu’s Jinjiang District, which will serve as a regional headquarters integrating exhibition, retail, R&D, and scenario incubation functions. This hub will coordinate Shoucheng’s robotics operations, partnerships, and resource integration across the Sichuan–Chongqing–Yunnan economic region.V. A Chinese Model for Technology CommercializationFrom Beijing Shougang Park to Chengdu Chunxi Road, and from Beijing Capital Airport’s T3 pop-up store to its expanding regional headquarters, Shoucheng is translating its “Infrastructure Backbone + Technology Engine” strategy into practice.As a spokesperson from Shoucheng’s Board Office stated, “We want robots to move beyond laboratories and exhibitions—to become part of people’s daily lives.”Through this nationwide rollout, Shoucheng is evolving from investor to operator, and from a capital-driven enterprise to a consumer-driven innovator.This transition not only underscores the company’s strategic upgrade but also reflects a broader industry shift in China’s robotics sector—from technological breakthroughs to large-scale commercialization.As the “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” brand expands nationwide, Shoucheng has also launched a public naming campaign across its digital platforms.The company invites the public to propose alternative names that better capture the space’s vision of “bringing the future home.”The current name, “Taozhu,” references Fan Li, an ancient Chinese philosopher and statesman known for his wisdom and craftsmanship, symbolizing the fusion of technology and artistry. “New Creation Bureau” represents innovation and reinvention.However, the company hopes to involve the public in co-creating a name that resonates emotionally.According to Shoucheng Robotics Industry Co., “The future of robotic consumption is not a one-way narrative from companies to users—it’s a collaborative process of co-creation.”Submissions are open until November 1, 2025, via the company’s official WeChat account. The winning name will be presented at Shoucheng’s shareholders’ meeting for final approval and adoption.As the company emphasizes, “A name is not just a symbol—it’s the emotional bridge between enterprise and user.Over the coming year, “Taozhu New Creation Bureau” will continue to expand across China’s major cities, establishing a new consumer-driven innovation ecosystem where real-world retail experiences fuel industrial progress.Through its dual-engine model of investment + operation, Shoucheng Holdings is steadily building what could become China’s most comprehensive robotics commercialization platform.Posted by All Way Success Company Limited for Shoucheng Holdings www.shouchengholdings.com [HKSE:0697, FRA:SHVA, OTCPK:SHNHF] Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Reno, Nevada--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 10, 2025) - Scandium International Mining Corp. (TSXV: SCY) (OTC Pink: SCYYF) ("Scandium International" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Department of Primary Industrials and Regional Development - NSW Resources ("the Department") has granted a mining license to Scandium International's wholly-owned subsidiary, EMC Metals Australia Pty Ltd ("EMC") for its Nyngan Scandium Project in New South Wales. Mining Lease No 1893 (Act 1992) ("ML 1893") was granted in satisfaction of Mining Lease Application No 531 (Act 1992) on October 7, bringing an end to an application review process spanning more than nine years.The grant of ML 1893 (Act 1992) represents a major milestone for the Nyngan Scandium Project ("the Project") and provides the regulatory certainty required for the Company to advance ongoing dialogues regarding strategic partnerships, offtake contracts, and in due course financing the project and taking the Final Investment Decision (FID)."This Mining Lease marks the culmination of extensive technical, environmental and regulatory work and we express our appreciation to the Department for its assistance and cooperation during the application review process. It really could not have come at a better time as Western countries and companies are now focusing on the supply of critical metals including scandium." said Peter Evensen, Chief Executive Officer. "With this mining lease now in place on the entire deposit, the Company is well-positioned to progress towards construction and eventual production in line with the Project's design parameters." EMC intends to update its Defined Feasibility Study ("DFS") in due course to reflect capital and operational efficiencies as well as potential to high-grade and customer requirements."The current DFS:is designed as a small surface mining operation, recovering approximately 75,000t of limonite ore from the resource per year,The average limonite scandium head grade to the mill facility over 20 years is 409ppm (before potential high-grading initiatives).The Project development and commissioning schedule includes a one year construction period, and a total 24 month ramp-up period to reach nameplate capacity of 75,000 tons per year ore throughput and approximately 38,500 kg of scandium oxide product per year, grading 98 to 99.9% Sc2O3.The 20 year mine life of the name plate capacity will use less than 20% of the entire Mineral Resource Estimate.Mr. Evensen continued: "The benefits of scandium have been known for several years, however, until now there has not been a reliable and abundant potential supply source of scandium outside of China and Russia or dependent on other commodity prices as a by-product.In the past twelve months, the Western world has made it a strategic priority to develop robust critical mineral supply chains that are not dependent on a single nation as a pinch point.My view, same as when the Evensen family first invested in the Company in 2014, is the Nyngan Scandium Project along with our peers in New South Wales provides the most economic primary source of supply of scandium to that robust supply.The shovel-ready Nyngan Scandium Project is prepared to meet western demand for scandium in existing use cases as well as emerging use cases being developed including semiconductors, solid-state batteries, and defense applications."ML 1893 (Act 1992) has been granted for an initial term of 21 years until October 2046 upon which time the operator of the project can apply for renewal and supersedes the underlapping Mining Lease No 1792 (Act 1992), enhancing EMC's ability to develop the Project across its full mine footprint design.Located 20 km west of Nyngan township in New South Wales, the Nyngan Scandium Project is positioned to become the world's first primary scandium-mining project. Scandium is a high-value metal with a growing market demand and is classed as a critical mineral by the Australian, Canadian and United States governments.The development of the Project also presents a significant opportunity for New South Wales to become a world leader for investment in sustainable mining of critical minerals.For inquiries to Scandium International Mining Corp, please contact:Peter Evensen, President and CEOTel: (775) 355-9500Harry de Jonge (Controller)Tel: (702) 703-0178Email: info@scandiummining.comCautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking InformationThis news release includes certain information that may be deemed "forward-looking information".

HONG KONG, Oct 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Recently, the lapse of Hithium's prospectus has drawn market attention, but this is not a rare occurrence in capital markets.According to the relevant rules for Hong Kong IPO, if a prospectus is not listed within six months after submission, it automatically lapses. This mechanism is designed to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of information disclosure, avoiding information lag due to changes in the market environment or the company's operations. It is worth noting that a lapsed prospectus does not mean the IPO is terminated. In Hong Kong, nearly half of newly listed companies have experienced a prospectus lapse before listing. If the listing hearing has not been completed, the company only needs to update its financial data and re-submit the application within three months to resume the review process.As a rapidly developing energy storage company, Hithium's is currently experiencing strong business momentum. Among the two Xiamen-based companies listed on the "2025 Global Unicorn List" released by the Hurun Research Institute, Hithium is precisely one of them.Especially against the backdrop of the rapid development of the energy storage industry and continuous policy support, Hithium, as an important industry participant, has a solid foundation to capture industry dividends and support its listing process. Changjiang Securities predicts global energy storage installation growth will exceed 50% in 2025 and over 40% in 2026, directly reflecting the industry's robust momentum.In this macro environment, Hithium's business development and listing plans can better leverage the industry's momentum. Hithium is expected to update its prospectus and resubmit its application within three months to continue the listing process. On the other hand, this lapse of the prospectus might become an opportunity for the company to review its business and optimize its strategy, preparing for a more stable connection with the capital market in the future.I. Explosive Demand Growth and Full Capacity Operations Cement Foundation for ExpansionFrom an industry perspective, the global energy transition has now entered a "critical phase," with major countries intensifying efforts to achieve "dual carbon" goals, leading to rapid growth in renewable energy installation capacity. However, renewable energy has inherent shortcomings of "intermittency and volatility". If excess electricity cannot be stored effectively, it not only causes energy waste but may also affect grid frequency stability.In this context, energy storage has been upgraded from an "optional accessory" to an "essential facility", becoming the core link connecting renewable energy and the power grid. This has directly propelled the global energy storage market into an "outbreak period".According to statistics from the ICC Xinluo Energy Storage Database, global energy storage battery shipments reached 258 GWh in the first half of 2025, a year-on-year increase of 106%. Domestic manufacturers shipped 252 GWh, a year-on-year increase of 109%, clearly indicating that Chinese manufacturers have become the dominant force in the global energy storage market.Leveraging its accumulated experience in energy storage technology R&D and product manufacturing, Hithium accurately seized this opportunity. Its shipments have leapt from global fifth in 2023, to third in 2024, and reaching second place in the first half of 2025. The compound annual growth rate over the past three years reached 167%.Correspondingly, Hithium's 's current production lines are operating at full capacity. At present, the production bases in locations like Xiamen and Chongqing are running continuously at full capacity. Its Southwest Intelligent Manufacturing Center in Tongliang, Chongqing, is the first lithium battery electrochemical energy storage complete project in Chongqing. With a total investment of RMB 13 billion, it plans to build a production base and R&D center for 56 GWh of new-generation energy storage lithium batteries and 22 GWh of energy storage modules. Since March, factories including those in Xiamen and Chongqing have been operating at full capacity, with orders scheduled until the end of the year.This status not only directly reflects the market recognition of its products and sufficient order backlog but also demonstrates the company's strong capabilities in production management and supply chain coordination.II. Steady Progress in Internationalization Strategy and Frequent Large Orders Highlight Global CompetitivenessHithium's ability to maintain a top position in the global energy storage market is inseparable from the steady advancement of its internationalization strategy. In 2024, the company's overseas revenue reached RMB 3.7 billion, accounting for 28.6% of total revenue. Its global service network covers over 20 countries and regions.Since the beginning of the year, Hithium has successively secured major international orders, demonstrating a strong momentum in international development.In July this year, Hithium signed a cooperation agreement with Elements Green, a leading UK developer of solar and storage infrastructure, for a battery energy storage system project with a total scale of 720 MWh. It is reported that this project is one of the largest energy storage projects in the UK to date.In August this year, Hithium signed significant energy storage project cooperation agreements with Saudi Electricity Company and Saudi utility giant Alfanar Group. They will build two large-scale energy storage projects in the Tabuk and Hail provinces of northern Saudi Arabia, with a total capacity of 1GW/4GWh achieving a breakthrough in the GWh-scale application of the world's first mass-produced kA-hour class long-duration energy storage battery and system solution.In September this year, Hithium also reached a strategic cooperation with Fotowatio Renewable Ventures, a sustainable energy solutions developer in Australia, to establish an energy storage system with a total scale of 500 MWh in Victoria, Australia.This series of outstanding achievements stems from its deep accumulation in technology and product innovation.As of the end of 2024, Hithium's global patent applications exceeded 3,900, Meanwhile, the company boasts an R&D team of over 1,100 personnel, achieving full coverage from materials, cells, systems to solutions.In terms of products, Hithium was among the first in the industry to deploy 280Ah energy storage battery products in large-scale energy storage projects, and also among the first to mass-produce 314Ah energy storage batteries and apply them in overseas large-scale energy storage projects. Its launch of the world's first sodium-ion battery dedicated to power storage, the ∞Cell N162Ah, boasts a cycle life of over 20,000 cycles, laying a solid foundation for the next-generation technology competition.With the opening of the global energy storage market, Hithium, leveraging its leading technological advantages and high-performance products, has steadily advanced cooperative relationships with customers in multiple countries and regions. The signing of a series of major international orders not only brings stable revenue expectations for the company but also helps it accumulate international project experience and enhance its global brand awareness, laying the foundation for subsequent expansion to more high-end customers.III. ConclusionThe temporary lapse of the prospectus is merely a "mid-course adjustment" on Hithium's capital market journey, unrelated to the core logic of its long-term value.From a global perspective, the energy transition is an irreversible trend of the era. Energy storage, as a critical pillar, has become the "leading role" on the new energy stage. With its technology, production capacity, and global layout, Hithium is already positioned at a crucial point in seizing this historic opportunity. Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines today announced that the results of its Asian multicenter Phase III ENLIGHT UC study (ES101002) of etrasimod (VELSIPITY(R)) for the treatment of subjects with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) have been published in the prestigious international journal The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology, marking the global recognition of this next-generation selective S1P receptor modulator’s efficacy in Asian patients.The published results are from the ENLIGHT UC study (ES101002), a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase III trial of etrasimod conducted across Asia. ENLIGHT is the largest completed Phase III trial to date in Asian patients with moderately to severely active UC, enrolling 340 eligible subjects who were randomized to receive once-daily etrasimod or placebo for 12 weeks of induction treatment. All patients had an inadequate response or intolerance to at least one conventional, biologic, or Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor therapy.The study results showed that, during both the 12-week induction phase and the 40-week maintenance phase, etrasimod demonstrated statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across all primary and secondary efficacy endpoints. The safety profile of etrasimod was consistent with previous studies, with no new safety signals observed.Prof. Wu Kaichun at the First Affiliated Hospital of AFMU who is the principal investigator for etrasimod’s Asia clinical trial said: “As the largest Phase III trial of UC in Asia, the results fill the gap in clinical data on active UC in Asia. The results confirm that etrasimod shows good efficacy and safety in Asian patients including Chinese patients, with positive effects on improving clinical symptoms and promoting endoscopic improvement.”“Publication of the ENLIGHT UC study in The Lancet Gastroenterology & Hepatology underscores etrasimod’s strong clinical value in the treatment of moderately to severely active UC and providing stronger clinical evidence to support patients across Asia.” said Rogers Yongqing Luo, Chief Executive Officer of Everest Medicines.“The company initiated local production of etrasimod in March and remains committed to accelerating the regulatory approval process in Mainland China and other Asian markets, helping more patients achieve higher-quality, longer-lasting disease remission.”VELSIPITY(R) has been approved in Singapore, Macao SAR, and Hong Kong SAR. Its NDA has also been accepted in South Korea and Taiwan, China. In December 2024, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) officially accepted the NDA for VELSIPITY(R), with approval expected in the first half of 2026. As Everest’s third commercialized product, VELSIPITY(R) has been approved by the Guangdong Provincial Medical Products Administration for adult patients with moderately to severely active UC, and is now available at medical institutions designated under the Connect Policy in the Greater Bay Area. The localized production project for VELSIPITY(R) was officially launched at the Jiashan manufacturing site in March 2025, providing strong support for its future commercialization.As a core product of Everest Medicines, etrasimod is an innovative and advanced therapy that provides rapid onset of action, clinical remission and endoscopic improvement through an oral, once-daily regimen. Following its inclusion in the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Clinical Practice Guideline as a first-line treatment for ulcerative colitis in December 2024, etrasimod was included in the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Clinical Guideline Update in June 2025, strongly recommended for both induction and maintenance of remission in patients with moderately to severely active UC.From the market perspective, the number of UC patients in Asia is rising rapidly, while treatment options remain relatively limited. In China alone, the UC patient population was estimated at approximately 800,000 in 2024 and is projected to reach 1.5 million by 2031. With its proven efficacy and safety, VELSIPITY(R) is expected to quickly enter and reshape the market landscape. To ensure accessibility and supply stability, Everest has launched a localized production project at its Jiashan manufacturing site, with an expected annual production capacity of up to 50 million tablets to enhance supply stability and cost efficiency.Notably, in late August Everest launched a proactive build-up of its commercial team for etrasimod, with the team expected to expand significantly around the time of approval. This deployment will not only ensure the efficient commercialization of VELSIPITY(R) upon launch, but also lay a solid foundation for future inclusion in the National Reimbursement Drug List (NRDL) and large-scale uptake.Industry observers widely expect VELSIPITY(R) to become Everest’s next blockbuster product, with analysts projecting peak sales of up to RMB 5 billion. As VELSIPITY(R) realizes its commercial potential, Everest’s revenue mix and growth trajectory are expected to strengthen further, providing greater visibility and confidence for long-term investors.
