The global campaign is a powerful tribute to the iconic polo shirt's authentic sports origins and its evolution into one of the world's most enduring style essentials.U.S. Polo Assn. Global Brand Ambassador, 6-goal American professional polo player Nico Escobar takes in the game atop his equine partner, wearing polo whites and a classic navy U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirt, An Icon Born from the GameU.S. Polo Assn. models in polo shirts at the Spring-Summer 2026 Global Collection Photoshoot in Charleston, South Carolina‘The Polo Shirt: An Icon Born From the Game' campaign imagery featuring U.S. Polo Assn. modelsThe polo shirt's beginning was born on the polo fields, shaped by motion, competition, and the spirit of the game for which it was named. From its earliest days, the polo shirt was designed with purpose, worn by players seeking performance on the polo fields. Today, U.S. Polo Assn. celebrates this timeless favorite, not just as a fashion item, but as an icon born from sport and carried forward through generations of players and consumers all over the world.The polo shirt is one of the most iconic essentials dating back over 100 years, notable for its unique fusion of sport and style. Originally designed with breathable pique knit, a soft collar, and lightweight construction to meet the demands of competitive sports, it has evolved into a timeless essential, suitable for casual elegance and leisurewear.The polo shirt traces its origins to polo players, where it was created out of necessity for the sport. Polo players modified long‑sleeved cotton shirts to better handle heat, movement, and wind while playing. These functional, sport‑driven adaptations represent the earliest form of what would become the polo shirt. In the early 20th century, polo players helped formalize these functional elements as the sport gained popularity, reinforcing the shirt's connection to the sport and its functional design.Over the years, the polo shirt became a cornerstone of casual sportswear around the world, symbolizing preppy style, luxury leisure culture, and contemporary athleisure, seamlessly transitioning from polo fields to college campuses and boardrooms. Its enduring adaptability is demonstrated by distinct reinventions across the decades; the ability to evolve has ensured the polo shirt's lasting relevance and cultural significance.As the official sports brand of the USPA, founded in 1890 and one of the oldest sports governing bodies in the United States, U.S. Polo Assn. occupies an authentic place in the history of the polo shirt."The polo shirt's DNA is deeply rooted in the inspirational sport that inspired it," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that manages and markets the multi-billion-dollar, global U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "With An Icon Born from the Game, we're honoring a legacy that began on the field and continues to shape how polo players, sports fans, and consumers all over the world live, move, and express themselves today, and for future generations."An Icon Born from the Game reinforces that legacy by connecting the polo shirt's origins in the sport, while celebrating its place in modern culture."The polo shirt was designed for the game with a real purpose on the field, but it's also what I wear off the field to go out to dinner or hang out with friends and family," said Nico Escobar, U.S. Polo Assn. Global Brand Ambassador, 6-goal American professional polo player. "I love that U.S. Polo Assn. understands both the performance aspect and how the polo shirt fits into everyday life.""U.S. Polo Assn.'s authentic connection to the sport and the way it supports the game of polo around the world is why I wear it - both on the field and off," adds Escobar.Global Launch: An Icon Born from the GameLaunching globally across 190 countries in Spring 2026, An Icon Born from the Game will come to life through a coordinated, multi‑channel presence designed to make the U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirt unmistakably visible wherever consumers engage with the sport-inspired brand. In stores, dedicated polo shirt focus areas, including the brand's iconic polo walls, window displays, and visual merchandising moments, will highlight the full range of styles through bold color stories, clear categorization, and campaign signage anchored by the slogan.Across outdoor and print advertising, hero imagery shot on location brings the polo shirt back to the field, reinforcing its authentic connection to the sport, while digital and social media activations extend the story through short‑form content and global storytelling. Together, these touchpoints create a consistent, immersive expression of the polo shirt as a true icon rooted in sport but relevant to everyday life.Further, An Icon Born from the Game is launching around two of the sport's most important events in the United States - the prestigious USPA Gold Cup® and one of the most competitive tournaments in the world, the U.S. Open Polo Championship®, which concludes with the Championship Final on April 26."An Icon Born from the Game is about owning our truth and telling it boldly on a global scale," said Stefanie Coroalles, Vice President, Global Brand Marketing. "The Global Polo Shirt Campaign brings together heritage, product, and self-expression, showing how the polo shirt moves effortlessly from sport to everyday life.""This launch is a proud moment for us, one that brings our heritage to life in a way that feels modern, visible, and unmistakably U.S. Polo Assn.," adds Coroalles.Product Pillars: Play It Your Way"Every U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirt is designed with intention by balancing style, comfort, function, and authentic sport details," said Brian Kaminer, Senior Vice President, Brand and Product Development. "From heritage-inspired construction to modern performance fabrics, our U.S. Polo Assn. collections reflect how the polo shirt continues to evolve while staying true to its sports roots."The global polo shirt campaign showcases the versatility of the icon through five distinct expressions that give the consumer the opportunity to "Play It Your Way" when styling with the polo shirt.Play It Sporty is the polo shirt that carries the legacy of U.S. Polo Assn. in every stitch. Featuring authentic detailing, iconic branding, and sport-inspired elements, this timeless silhouette connects directly to the game that started it all. Official crests, classic cuts, and traditional design details celebrate the sport of polo's history and the brand's deep-rooted heritage.Play It Classic is the polo shirt for the moments that make up everyday life. Clean, comfortable, and easy to style, it's the go-to option when you want something that always works. Designed to be worn again and again, it fits seamlessly into any routine, whether casual, relaxed, or slightly dressed up.Play It in Motion with the performance polo shirt engineered for action. Advanced technical fabrics deliver moisture-wicking comfort, breathability, and stretch that moves with you throughout the day. Designed for polo players on the field or in life in motion, it balances durability and function with a sharp, modern look.Play It Bold is the fashion polo shirt built for self-expression. Defined by confidence and style, this version brings personality and freedom to a familiar icon. Worn casually or styled with intention, it shows how versatile the polo shirt can be when it's shaped by confidence and worn on an individual's own terms.Play It Elevated is the premium polo shirt made for moments that call for refinement. Crafted with elevated materials and thoughtful detailing, it offers a polished look without feeling formal. Clean lines and a thoughtful fit create a composed yet confident style that balances ease with sophistication.U.S. Polo Assn.'s seasonal polo shirts are offered across men's, women's, and kids' collections in an expansive range of fabrics, finishes, and colors - from classic neutrals to vibrant hues. Updated designs feature textured ribs, subtle patterns, and elevated construction details, finished with the brand's signature Double Horsemen logo - a mark of authenticity and a symbol of the sport.U.S. Polo Assn. continues to incorporate products aligned with its global sustainability program, USPA Life, reflecting the brand's commitment to responsible sourcing and long-term environmental initiatives. The USPA Life Polo Shirt, arriving in stores Spring 2027, builds on U.S. Polo Assn.'s most iconic style, designed with thoughtfully chosen, preferred materials that reflect the brand's commitment to improving the global footprint of this iconic staple. From 100% preferred cotton fabric to the finishing details like buttons and thread, each element has been selected to reduce impact while preserving the classic look, comfort, and quality customers expect from a U.S. Polo Assn. polo shirt.U.S. Polo Assn. apparel and accessories are available in U.S. Polo Assn. stores and online at uspoloassnglobal.com.About U.S. Polo Assn. and USPA GlobalU.S. Polo Assn. is the official sports brand of the United States Polo Association (USPA), the largest association of polo clubs and polo players in the United States, founded in 1890.

Casa Minerals Receives Extensive Historic Drill Database from Congress Gold Mine Project; Desktop Technical Studies Define Three Priority Exploration Zones Ahead of 2026 Drilling Season ACN Newswire

Casa Minerals Receives Extensive Historic Drill Database from Congress Gold Mine Project; Desktop Technical Studies Define Three Priority Exploration Zones Ahead of 2026 Drilling Season

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - March 26, 2026) - Casa Minerals Inc. (TSXV: CASA) (OTCQB: CASXF) (FSE: 0CM) (the "Company" or "Casa") is pleased to announce that it has received a large dataset of historic drill hole information from the Congress Gold Mine Project in Yavapai County, Arizona, USA. Comprehensive desktop technical studies integrating this data with the Company's own 2022 drilling campaign have resulted in the identification and delineation of three distinct priority exploration zones that will form the basis of the 2026 field and drilling program.HIGHLIGHTSReceipt of a large historic drill hole database greatly expanding the geological model for the Congress Gold Mine Project3D modelling of over 100 historic and recent drill holes confirms strong structural integrity and continuity of the gold-bearing vein systemsThree distinct exploration zones classified: Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), and New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m)Echo Bay Exploration Zone designated highest priority target based on historic drill density and potential for expanded mineralization envelopeHistoric drill intercepts include highlights such as 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, and 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au within the Echo Bay ZoneCongress Gold Mine Project is fully permitted with excellent road access and proximity to an experienced regional labor forceCompany geologists and field personnel are being mobilized for initial site preparation and drill program setupHISTORIC DRILL DATABASE COMPILATIONCasa Minerals is pleased to announce the receipt of a comprehensive dataset of historic drill hole collars, surveys, and assay records from the Congress Gold Mine Project. This data was compiled from exploration programs conducted by previous operators -- most notably Echo Bay Mines Ltd. -- during the 1980s through the early 1990s. The database encompasses a significant number of drill holes distributed across the project area, substantially expanding the known geological framework of the property.Historic exploration at the Congress Gold Mine was conducted during a period when gold market conditions were materially lower than today's environment, which directly influenced the selection criteria and cut-off grades used by previous operators. Consequently, the historic programs focused predominantly on higher-grade gold intersections, and many lower-grade vein intercepts that may be economically significant at current gold prices were not assigned the same level of analytical priority. Casa believes this creates a meaningful opportunity to reinterpret the mineralization system with a lower economic threshold, logically expanding the dimensions of the mineralization envelope that will be targeted in the forthcoming drilling season.Important Disclosure: The historic drill hole results referenced in this news release were collected and reported by previous operators under practices that predate current NI 43-101 standards. These results are disclosed solely for contextual and geological interpretation purposes. They have not been verified by a current Qualified Person, do not conform to NI 43-101, and are not classified as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. A Qualified Person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic results as current mineral resources or mineral reserves, and Casa is not treating them as such.THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODELLING AND VEIN SYSTEM VALIDATIONDesktop technical studies have included rigorous 3D modelling of all available drill hole data using industry-standard geological modelling software. The resulting three-dimensional representation of the drill hole database, illustrated in Figure A below, demonstrates the remarkable density of historic drill coverage across the project and confirms the structural coherence and continuity of the principal gold-bearing vein systems.The 3D model was constructed using NAD83 / UTM Zone 12N coordinates and captures drill holes ranging from surface to depths approaching 600 metres below ground elevation. The model reveals that:The dominant vein systems exhibit strong northeast-southwest structural orientation, consistent with the principal fault architecture identified on surfaceThe alignment and attitude of vein structures intercepted in the Company's 2022 confirmatory drilling campaign correlate with high fidelity to those projected from the historic drill hole database, validating the overall geological modelThe 2022 drilling campaign identified additional vein structures not captured in the historic database, indicating that the current geological model is likely incomplete and that the total mineralized footprint may be materially larger than previously understoodIncorporating lower-grade vein intercepts -- previously deprioritized by historic operators under lower gold price conditions -- into the mineralization envelope substantially increases the aggregate target volume for future drillingFigure A: Four-panel 3D presentation of historic and recent drill hole collars and traces, Congress Gold Mine Project.

The classification of each zone reflects the combination of historic drill density, vein system geometry, and the nature of the gold mineralization documented to date. Figures 1 through 4 present these zones in their regional and local contexts.Figure 1: Regional overview map of the Congress Gold Mine Project showing principal vein systems (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), shaft locations (Shafts 1 through 6), historic stope outlines (yellow, 1959-1987), patented claim and BLM claim outlines, and the location of the three principal exploration zones. The project is situated in Yavapai County, Arizona.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_002full.jpgEcho Bay Exploration Zone -- Highest Priority TargetThe Echo Bay Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 750 metres by 1,000 metres, is the largest and most intensively drilled zone on the property. It encompasses the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline that was previously defined by Echo Bay Mines and represents the core of the historic gold-producing system at Congress. The zone is bounded by the principal northeast-trending veining corridors and is cut by northwest-trending fault structures that locally displace but do not terminate the mineralized vein arrays.As illustrated in Figure 2, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone hosts a dense cluster of historic drill hole intercepts distributed across the full extent of the zone. The drill hole collars and assay intercepts depicted in the figure provide compelling evidence for broad, zone-scale gold mineralization. Notably, the higher-grade intercepts are concentrated along the principal vein corridors while lower-grade disseminated and stockwork gold is documented in the intervening ground. This spatial distribution is characteristic of orogenic gold systems and is consistent with the geological setting at Congress.Selected historic drill intercepts within the Echo Bay Exploration Zone include:1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au -- exceptional high-grade intercept within the principal vein corridor3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au -- high-grade intercept demonstrating vein width and continuity2.0m @ 21.88 g/t Au -- high-grade vein intercept in the central portion of the zone2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au -- confirming strong grade continuity along strike11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au -- broad, elevated-grade intercept indicative of wide mineralization envelopes within the vein system1.5m @ 15.28 g/t Au -- demonstrating high-grade vein core and broader lower-grade haloes2.0m @ 12.19 g/t Au and 7.3m @ 11.00 g/t Au -- further confirming grade and continuity of the principal vein arrays3.1m @ 11.19 g/t Au and 2.0m @ 15.63 g/t Au -- documented in the southwestern portion of the zone, indicating lateral continuityGiven the historic drill density, the documented grade profile, and the alignment of the 2022 confirmatory drilling with the historic vein model, the Echo Bay Exploration Zone has been assigned the highest exploration priority for the 2026 program. The Company views the zone as offering the clearest near-term pathway to NI 43-101 resource delineation.Figure 2: Detailed plan map of the Echo Bay Exploration Zone (~750m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (brown dots annotated with interval length in metres and gold grade in g/t), principal vein system traces (red dashed), fault corridors (blue dashed), historic stope outlines (yellow), shaft locations, and the historic non-NI 43-101 resource outline (red hatch). Selected intercepts include 1.2m @ 43.88 g/t Au, 3.3m @ 27.13 g/t Au, 11.4m @ 4.81 g/t Au, and 2.4m @ 19.03 g/t Au, among numerous others.

The zone is named after the "Malartic-style" stratabound and vein-hosted gold mineralization that has been documented in this area of the project. Historic shaft locations CGC-003 and CGC-004 are located within this zone, providing direct underground access for potential future development.The Malartic Exploration Zone is characterized by multiple subparallel northwest-striking vein sets that have been intercepted in a series of shallow to moderate-depth drill holes. The vein system includes documented vein widths of 27 feet, 38 feet, and 55 feet (as labelled on Figure 3), indicating substantial structural corridors capable of hosting economically significant gold mineralization.Representative historic drill intercepts within the Malartic Exploration Zone include:3.6m @ 0.74 g/t Au and 10.3m @ 1.73 g/t Au -- broad lower-grade intercepts within the principal vein corridor demonstrating wide mineralization envelopes10.36m @ 1.41 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 3.53 g/t Au -- moderate-grade intercepts confirming continuity of the vein arrays7.7 @ 3.56 g/t Au and 8.1m @ 2.53 g/t Au -- further demonstrating consistent grade within vein-hosted mineralization3.2m @ 7.72 g/t Au and 2.8m @ 9.41 g/t Au -- higher-grade intercepts at the northern margin of the zone (shared boundary with the Echo Bay Zone)The Malartic Exploration Zone is relatively underexplored compared to the Echo Bay Zone, and the relatively sparse drill coverage suggests significant upside potential for zone expansion with systematic drilling.Figure 3: Detailed plan map of the Malartic Exploration Zone (~450m x 1,150m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are historic drill hole intercepts (annotated with gold values), principal vein system traces, shaft locations including CGC-003 and CGC-004, historic stope outlines, and documented vein widths of 8.2m, 11.6m, and 16.8m.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/1750/290037_3e63fd76341e7b14_004full.jpgNew Congress Niagara Exploration ZoneThe New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone, measuring approximately 800 metres by 1,000 metres, is the northernmost of the three classified exploration zones and is situated along a structurally distinct corridor characterized by the northwest-striking New Congress-Niagara fault system. This zone encompasses historic Shaft 1 as well as drill holes CGC-008, CGC-009, and CGC-010 from the Company's 2022 exploration program.The 2022 drilling in this zone identified four discrete veins with widths ranging from 49.5 feet to 206 feet -- a notably wide structural corridor. These widths are illustrated in Figure 4 as Vein 49.5 ft, Vein 55 ft, Vein 70.5 ft, and Vein 206 ft. The scale of these structural features highlights the potential for significant bulk-tonnage style mineralization within this zone, distinct from the higher-grade but narrower veins documented in the Echo Bay Zone.Critically, the 2022 drilling at the New Congress Niagara Zone identified several vein structures that are not represented in the historic drill database, reinforcing the Company's view that the existing geological model incompletely captures the full scope of the vein system. This structural incompleteness, combined with the relatively limited historic drill coverage of this zone, underscores its exploration potential.Figure 4: Detailed plan map of the New Congress Niagara Exploration Zone (~800m x 1,000m), Congress Gold Mine Project. Shown are drill hole locations from the 2022 exploration program (CGC-008, CGC-009, CGC-010) alongside Shaft 1, with identified vein widths of 49.5 ft, 55 ft, 70.5 ft, and 206 ft.

AAC Technologies CFO Guo Dan: Accelerating Expansion into AI Blue Ocean for a New Revenue Milestone in 2026

SINGAPORE, Mar 26, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – March 19, AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. (HKEX Stock Code: 2018) held its 2025 Annual Results Announcement Conference in Singapore and reported a strong set of annual results. The Group achieved RMB 31.82 billion in annual revenue, representing a 16.4% year-on-year increase and marking a record high of over RMB 30 billion, with net profit rising 39.8% to RMB 2.51 billion. These results reflect the continued success of the Company’s strategic transformation, with revenue reaching new highs in recent years and net profit delivering sustained double-digit growth.“Pioneering Innovation” and “AI Empowerment” have emerged as the central themes of AAC’s recent developments, driving its strategic transformation from a traditional component supplier to a builder of AI perception infrastructure.In an interview during the conference, AAC’s Chief Financial Officer, Guo Dan, highlighted that the Company’s strategic new business lines — represented by optics and automotive solutions — together with its expansion into high-potential AI sectors such as heat dissipation, robotics, and XR, have become the key growth engines supporting mid-to-long-term sustainable development. This strong momentum is expected to continue unlocking further growth potential in 2026.Looking ahead to 2026, Dan expressed strong confidence. Despite persistent industry volatility, the Group will capitalize on its diversified business portfolio to deliver steady revenue growth, with the growth rate expected to be no lower than that of 2025. At the same time, the gross profit margin is projected to improve steadily from the 22.1% baseline in 2025.( AAC Technologies CFO Guo Dan)1. On the Optics Business: Plastic Lens Gross Margin to Rise to 35%, with Proprietary WLG Technology Reaching Key MilestoneAs a core strategic growth driver, AAC’s optics business (AAC Optics) has achieved rapid development since in 2019. It reported RMB 5.73 billion in revenue in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) exceeding 32% over the past six years, establishing itself as a key pillar of the Group’s overall growth.Dan stated that in 2026, the optics business is expected to deliver steady revenue growth while further improving its gross margin. In 2025, the Company continued to upgrade its mid-to-high-end lens product mix, with the shipments of lens products with 6 or more elements accounting for over 18% of the total and seven-element (7P) lens shipments reaching 15 million units. Building on this foundation, the gross profit margin of plastic lenses is projected to rise from 30% in 2025 to 35% in 2026, reaching a industry-leading level.Notably, AAC has made a significant breakthrough in its globally proprietary Wafer-Level Glass (WLG) lens technology, reaching a key milestone. This advancement not only expands the scope of application scenarios but is also expected to drive a shift in the market landscape traditionally dominated by plastic lenses. Dan added, “In the future, whether in smartphones, automotive solutions, or emerging smart terminal devices, we will see more stable incremental growth that will inject long-term momentum into our business growth.”2. On the Automotive Solution Business: The "Second Growth Engine" Solidifies, with 2026 Revenue Expected to Grow by 15%-20%Through the acquisition of Premium Sound Solutions (PSS), AAC has rapidly established a core platform in the smart automotive solution sector, successfully developing a second growth engine for the Company.Dan revealed that following the acquisition of PSS in 2024 and the acquisitions of Chuguang and PSG in 2025, the Company has become a comprehensive system-level automotive solution provider, expanding its business from smartphones into the entire automotive domain. In 2025, the Company’s automotive acoustics business recorded revenue of RMB 4.12 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 16.1%. This performance has positioned AAC among the world’s top-tier automotive audio system suppliers, second only to industry leaders such as Harman and Bose.Regarding the 2026 outlook for the automotive acoustics business, Dan stated that the segment is expected to maintain high double-digit growth of 15% to 20%, while keeping the gross margin stable. The Company’s automotive solution business has now achieved broad customer coverage both in China and overseas, including multiple Asian markets. This diversified regional presence is expected to provide steady and reliable support for both revenue and profit growth.3. On AI Sectors: Heat Dissipation Business Poised to Reach RMB 10 Billion, with Explorations in XR and Robotics Opening New FrontiersIf optics and automotive solutions represent the Company’s “core growth engines,” then business lines such as heat dissipation, robotics, and XR optical waveguides constitute the high-potential “reserves” for AAC’s future development. Dan noted that the Company’s revenue in the past was primarily driven by traditional mobile phone acoustics and haptics business. However, following years of strategic transformation and amid broader industry technological shifts, AI has become the fundamental driver underpinning the sustained growth of the Company’s multiple product lines.“For example, the rapid growth of the heat dissipation business is mainly attributable to AI-driven demand. Similarly, our initiatives in robotics and AR glasses are also propelled by AI,” Dan explained. In 2025, the Company’s heat dissipation business recorded revenue of RMB 1.67 billion, grew by 410.9% year-on-year. This performance has further solidified the Company’s position as one of the leading global suppliers in consumer electronics heat dissipation. “As AI technology continues to advance, related application scenarios are expected to extend from smartphones to a wider range of devices, including laptops and tablets, generating strong momentum for the Company’s overall growth.”The acquisition of Yuandi Technology, with more notable strategic significance, has allowed AAC to formally enter the data center liquid cooling, AI server heat dissipation, and high-end thermal solutions sectors, and extend its capabilities from “terminal-side heat dissipation” to “AI infrastructure heat dissipation” creating a synergistic “terminal + infrastructure” development model. Dan stated clearly, “Leveraging the substantial market opportunities across multiple sectors, our heat dissipation business has the potential to reach and even exceed a scale of RMB 10 billion in the coming years, positioning it as a highly promising and important growth engine for the Group.”In the XR optical waveguide field, through the acquisition of Dispelix — a global leader in AR diffractive waveguide technology — AAC has become one of the few industry players with vertically integrated capabilities spanning optical waveguide design and manufacturing. The Company can now offer one-stop full display module solutions, encompassing optical waveguides, optical engines, push-pull lenses, eye-tracking systems, and electrochromic technology. AAC is expected to become the world’s first supplier to achieve mass production of SRG full-color optical waveguides for leading customers in 2026. Dan disclosed, “The per-unit value in the optics business can reach USD 100–200. These initiatives are expected to deliver clear mass production and shipment opportunities within the next two to three years, continuously generating significant value in revenue, profit, and long-term market expansion.”Regarding the robotics field, Dan pointed out that the industry’s market definition, application scenarios, and product forms are still evolving and remain in a diverse exploratory stage. AAC has long maintained deep involvement and has established comprehensive layouts across multiple core areas, including acoustics, motors, optics, structural components, and electromechanics, laying a solid foundation to capture opportunities as the sector matures. “For example, our dexterous hand products for humanoid robots have already entered mass production and shipments, generating over RMB 100 million in revenue last year. In addition, we are co-developing the first motor, as a core component for AI hardware devices, with our customers. Overall, the Company has built deep cooperation with leading domestic and international customers, and we believe we will become an important player in this field in the future.”4. Strategic Review: Combining Technology Reuse with Ecosystem Construction to Anchor Long-Term GrowthIn AAC’s three-decade development journey, the core driver behind its sustained growth has consistently been rooted in the dual logic of technology reuse and ecosystem construction.Leveraging its long-established, robust technological foundations in micro-acoustics, precision optics, electromagnetic drives, sensors, and semiconductors, the Company has successfully upgraded and expanded its business, with its focus shifting from mobile phones and consumer electronics to emerging high-growth areas, including AI terminals, robotics, XR, smart vehicles, and data center infrastructure. This approach enables its core technological capabilities to be efficiently migrated and continuously amplified across diverse application scenarios.This development model — “upgrading application scenarios without changing underlying technology” — not only ensures the stability and success rate of business transformation but also allows the Company to rapidly address capability gaps through strategic ecosystem integration, such as the acquisitions of Dongyang, PSS, Chuguang, and Yuandi. Together, these efforts have created a virtuous cycle of “technology–product–scenario–customer.”The clear pathway to realizing this cycle was articulated by Dan in her outlook: Looking ahead to 2026 and beyond, AAC will position itself as a “builder of AI perception infrastructure,” deepen cross-business synergy and full-scenario coverage, accelerate its expansion into the “AI blue ocean,” strengthen its global footprint, and continue riding the wave of industry development to achieve new heights.source as Forbes(https://www.forbeschina.com/investment/71292) Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Esports Nations Cup Names Partners in Over 100 Countries

(AsiaGameHub) - The Esports Foundation has appointed National Team Partners across over 100 countries and territories for the 2026 Esports Nations Cup. The tournament will make its debut in Riyadh between November 2 and November 29, 2026, with a format centered on national teams instead of club competitions. Good to Know Over 630 applications were submitted from 150 countries and territories. This event will take place every two years and run concurrently with the annual Esports World Cup. Nations without a designated partner will receive support through regional frameworks. Esports Nations Cup Establishes a National Team Framework A core pillar of this initiative is local autonomy. Rather than imposing a single standardized structure across all markets, the Esports Foundation noted that partners will oversee team formation, mobilize local communities, and establish the necessary systems for participation and sustained growth. This sets the project apart from traditional club-focused esports circuits. National teams will originate from local governing bodies, clubs, or combined alliances, tailored to the existing operational landscape of each market. In some regions, this will involve established groups such as the Korea Esports Association and the Saudi Esports Federation. In other areas, it will mean club-led coalitions in Brazil and the United States, or hybrid public-private models in Germany, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates. “The Esports Nations Cup brings something esports has never seen before: a global national team system at an unmatched scale,” said Ralf Reichert, CEO of the Esports Foundation. “The feedback we received from across the globe shows that communities are ready for this next phase. Together with our partners, we are building the frameworks that will allow players to represent their nations and compete on esports’ biggest stage. With over 100 nations now part of this system, the Esports Nations Cup has moved from concept to reality — cementing national esports as a lasting part of the global competitive gaming landscape.” The Esports Foundation explained that the partner roster mixes long-established esports groups with emerging forces driving competitive gaming forward. In markets including Malaysia, Turkey, and Thailand, partners include federations closely tied to grassroots gaming communities. In Indonesia and Mongolia, development support will help shape national team representation for the global stage. For fans, the most notable change may revolve around national identity. National teams add a layer that club-based esports does not always offer. South Korea can lean on its long-standing record in League of Legends, Brazil brings a robust Counter-Strike culture, Japan has deep roots in fighting game esports, and parts of Southeast Asia remain leading hubs for mobile gaming competition. India was also highlighted for its chess esports scene. Riyadh will host the inaugural edition in November 2026, after which the tournament will shift to a rotating host city model. This biennial setup is intended to complement the annual Esports World Cup and provide players and industry stakeholders with a more consistent pathway for national team investment.

DigiPlus Participates in Discussions on Philippines Gaming Overhaul

(AsiaGameHub) - DigiPlus Interactive Corp has expressed its support for a comprehensive regulatory revamp of the Philippine online gaming industry as government legislators and Pagcor increase their supervision of the sector. Good to Know DigiPlus stated it is participating in a technical working group that is crafting new laws. The firm anticipates more stringent regulations, rather than a complete prohibition of online gaming. DigiPlus also mentioned that prediction markets are in preliminary discussions with Pagcor. DigiPlus Backs Tighter Rules as Philippines Gaming Debate Builds Although some market speculation has centered on the possibility of the Philippines shutting down certain online gaming activities, DigiPlus anticipates an alternative result. President Andy Tsui confirmed that enhanced regulation is a primary focus, but he also stated the company is confident that an outright ban is not probable. “We are involved in the working group and are actively contributing to those conversations,” Mr. Tsui remarked. “We are very confident that a total ban will not occur, and instead, the sector will face stricter regulations,” he continued. “This will be beneficial for building a sustainable, long-term industry.”DigiPlus endorsed a "new, all-encompassing regulatory framework" designed to elevate standards throughout the industry. The company reported that the technical group's efforts are concentrated on bolstering consumer safeguards, imposing stricter controls on payment channels, and increasing restrictions on marketing. Chairman Eusebio Tanco described the initiative as a method to maintain licensed operators in the market while simultaneously elevating compliance benchmarks. “As a licensed and prominent online gaming operator, we consistently welcome cooperation and active engagement in dialogues with the Philippine government to reach our mutual objective of improving industry standards.” He further stated: “By strengthening a market that permits only those operators who follow the highest compliance standards, we guarantee that the advantages of our industry—from employment generation to crucial tax income—are maintained for the benefit of the Filipino people.”DigiPlus currently operates multiple gaming brands in the Philippines, such as BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone. Concurrently, the company highlighted its implementation of player protection measures, including a surety bond program and expanded over-the-counter payment choices via Bayad and Pay&Go. Prediction markets represent another topic being explored. Mr. Tsui mentioned that DigiPlus has initiated preliminary talks with Pagcor concerning this segment, although the work is in its nascent stages. “We are still in the testing phase… but this type of offering has not yet been launched in the Philippines,” the DigiPlus president observed. He added: “We aspire for it to become an additional service we can introduce in the future.” Legal uncertainties persist regarding this product category. A legal analysis by attorney Marie Antonette Quiogue indicated that Philippine law classifies wagering on outcomes that involve any element of chance as gambling, which implies that any local launch would require official legal approval and a license from Pagcor.

Tether Engages Big Four Accounting Firm for USDT Audit

(AsiaGameHub) - Tether announced it has engaged a Big Four accounting firm to conduct an independent financial audit related to USDT. The assessment is scheduled to encompass reserve support, financial management, reporting, and broader operations associated with the stablecoin business. Good to Know Tether stated that USDT holds a market value exceeding $184 billion. The firm noted that over 550 million users globally depend on the stablecoin. The audit will evaluate digital assets, conventional reserves, and tokenized liabilities. Instead of restricting the review to cash support alone, Tether indicated the audit will assess a wide range of reserves and systems connected to USDT. This includes digital assets, traditional reserve holdings, tokenized liabilities, internal processes, financial reporting, and general operations. The company characterized the process as among the largest inaugural audits in financial markets. Given USDT's size, the scope is significant. Tether reported that the stablecoin currently has a market capitalization surpassing $184 billion and serves over 550 million users globally. For years, the quality of reserves and transparency have been key concerns regarding stablecoins. Against this background, Tether is positioning the audit as a direct evaluation of how its systems perform under external scrutiny by one of the world's largest accounting networks.Paolo Ardoino said: “Tether’s mission has always been to establish trust through actions, not just words. Trust is fostered when institutions are ready to fully subject themselves to examination. This audit reflects years of effort to enhance our systems, enabling Tether to meet the highest standards used in global finance. For the hundreds of millions of individuals and businesses that depend on USDT daily, this audit is more than a compliance task; it is about accountability, robustness, and confidence in the infrastructure they rely on.” This article is provided by a third-party.

New Jersey Governor Calls for Legislative Vote on Atlantic City Casino Smoking

(AsiaGameHub) - New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill wants Atlantic City casino smoking regulations resolved by the Legislature, rather than being left to the courts. Her remarks draw fresh focus to two bills that would either eliminate indoor smoking or allow it to continue with stricter restrictions. Good to Know One bill would prohibit smoking throughout Atlantic City casino floors. Another would permit smoking solely in enclosed, individually ventilated spaces. Casino workers continue to be divided over jobs, health, and the long-term impact on revenue. Casino Smoking Fight Returns to New Jersey Legislature Legal proceedings are ongoing, but Sherrill stated that lawmakers still must take action. In an interview with The Press of Atlantic City, she noted the issue belongs in the legislative process and that hearings are necessary to balance worker health against economic risk. Per current regulations, casinos may permit smoking on up to 25% of the gaming floor. However, smoke doesn’t remain confined and can waft into nonsmoking areas. Two bills are back under consideration. S212 would fully ban smoking in Atlantic City casinos. S698, sponsored by Sens. John Burzichelli and Michael Testa, would retain smoking but restrict it to enclosed, separately ventilated areas engineered to prevent air from flowing into nonsmoking spaces. This bill would also prohibit managers from mandating employees to work in smoking sections and establish a 15-foot buffer zone from live-dealer table games.Sherrill stated: “There’s ongoing litigation, but they truly need legislation,” She also mentioned she intends to discuss the timing of long-delayed proposals with legislative leaders. Pressure has been mounting for years. Casino workers have spent approximately five years demonstrating and lobbying for change, and ban supporters claim they have support from around two-thirds of the Legislature. Nevertheless, bills have repeatedly gotten stuck. One measure passed a Senate committee over two years ago but expired when the legislative session concluded. The debate among workers has split into two camps. CEASE has advocated for a complete ban, asserting that secondhand smoke poses long-term health risks to casino employees. Unite Here Local 54 has taken the opposing stance, cautioning that a ban could reduce revenue, lead to job losses, and even put some casino operations at risk. Atlantic City casino operators have echoed these concerns. Pete Naccarelli, a dealer at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and a CEASE representative, expressed approval of the governor’s remarks. He stated:“We’ve lost far too many colleagues because of the Legislature’s inaction over the past 20 years. “No worker wants to inhale toxins for eight hours a day. With majority backing in both chambers, we implore the Legislature to heed the governor’s call for action and at last close the two-decade-old casino smoking loophole before more of us perish.” Sherrill also highlighted external pressures on Atlantic City. She noted that three planned casinos in New York City are anticipated to impact customer traffic and revenue, so any decision must take into account jobs and the local economy alongside worker safety. Ban supporters dispute the claim that smoke-free casinos inevitably lose business. They cite studies they say demonstrate smoking bans no longer ensure revenue drops. Meanwhile, workers advocating for a ban have also turned to state court, creating a parallel process as legislation remains unresolved. Public health trends add another dimension to the debate. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Health Interview Study, cited by advocates, revealed that 9.9% of U.S. adults reported smoking cigarettes in 2024, a decrease from 20.1% roughly 20 years prior. FAQ What did Mikie Sherrill state about casino smoking? She said the issue should be addressed via legislation instead of being left to the courts.What would S212 accomplish? S212 would prohibit smoking in Atlantic City casinos. What would S698 do? S698 would permit smoking only in enclosed, separately ventilated spaces with additional worker safeguards. Why are workers split? Some workers want a complete ban for health purposes, while others are concerned about revenue losses, job cuts, and potential casino shutdowns. What is the existing smoking regulation for Atlantic City casinos? Smoking is permitted on up to 25% of casino floor space, though smoke can spread beyond those areas. What external factor did Sherrill reference? She highlighted three planned casinos in New York City as a competitive challenge to Atlantic City. This article is provided by a third-party.

India Blocks Another 300 Illegal Betting Sites

(AsiaGameHub) - India has blocked around 300 additional illegal betting and gambling websites and apps as officials continue to tighten enforcement of online gaming regulations. Good to Know Authorities stated that the total number of blocked sites and apps has now reached approximately 8,400. Targeted platforms included sports betting sites, offshore casinos, betting exchanges, satta, matka, and real-money gaming apps. Current legislation prohibits online money games while still making room for esports and online social gaming. A new round of enforcement in India has taken down roughly 300 illegal betting and gambling platforms, expanding on a far larger national blocking campaign already in operation. Officials noted that many operators were reaching users through mobile apps and mirror sites while operating without authorization. Rather than focusing on a single market segment, authorities adopted a broad approach. The latest crackdown covered offshore casino sites offering games like slots and roulette, online sports betting platforms, peer-to-peer betting exchanges, and satta and matka networks. Real-money card and casino gaming apps were also part of the sweep. Authorities report that around 8,400 illegal gambling and betting sites and applications have been blocked so far. The latest action aligns with a broader enforcement push that accelerated after the Online Gaming Act was passed last year.Under this law, India imposed a sweeping ban on online money games. Games of chance are restricted, but so are games of skill and hybrid formats when money is involved. In practice, regulators are not distinguishing significantly between different formats if cash wagering is part of the activity. The regulations extend beyond the games themselves. Advertising, promotion, and facilitation are prohibited, and financial channels linked to the platforms face restrictions as well. Banks and payment systems are barred from processing related payments, giving regulators another avenue to pressure illegal operators out of the market. Meanwhile, the policy framework retains space for sectors the government aims to support. Esports and online social gaming remain part of this focus, with officials emphasizing innovation and growth in these categories over money-based gambling products.

The NBA Commences the Formal Bidding Stage for Las Vegas and Seattle

(AsiaGameHub) - The NBA has initiated the official process for potential teams in Las Vegas and Seattle, following owners' approval of a market review on Wednesday. Key Details All 30 owners cast affirmative votes, despite only 23 being required. Individual franchises are estimated to fetch between $7 billion and $10 billion. This vote marks the commencement of the process; however, no team has been granted at this stage. NBA Starts Formal Expansion Review Discussions spanning several years have now transitioned into an official procedure. The league announced that PJT Partners will provide counsel on market viability, potential ownership consortia, proposed arena facilities, and the broader economic impact of expansion. “Today’s vote reflects our Board’s interest in exploring potential expansion to Las Vegas and Seattle – two markets with a long history of support for NBA basketball,” stated NBA Commissioner Adam Silver. “We look forward to taking this next step and engaging with interested parties.” Financial considerations are central to this initiative. Initial projections estimate each new franchise's value at $7 billion to $10 billion, with both cities anticipated to be among the league's highest-revenue markets. This prospect seems to have alleviated worries regarding the distribution of shared revenue among 32 teams rather than 30.Las Vegas previously encountered opposition due to Nevada being the sole state permitting legal sports betting. This situation evolved following the repeal of PASPA in 2018, with legal wagering now permissible in over three dozen states. Significant interest is anticipated for Las Vegas. Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo has reportedly engaged in discussions with Silver and also conferred with Magic Johnson regarding potential ownership, as per the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “I’m very excited to see the NBA advance this process toward a Las Vegas expansion team,” Lombardo remarked in a statement. “Today’s vote by the NBA Board of Governors is a testament to the incredible growth we’re seeing in Southern Nevada and our state’s business-friendly environment.” Additional potential bidders encompass Bill Foley and prominent ownership entities like Fenway Sports Group, Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, and Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment. Recent franchise transactions further elucidate the valuation prospects, with the Los Angeles Lakers achieving a $10 billion valuation and the Boston Celtics selling for $6.1 billion in 2025.

Isle of Man Considers Fines for Gambling Executives in AML Cases

(AsiaGameHub) - The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission has launched a consultation on proposed legislation that would enable regulators to impose fines on senior gambling industry personnel for anti-money laundering shortcomings. The measure increases scrutiny on individuals rather than solely on licensed operators. Good to Know The consultation period ends on May 25. Potential sanctions may apply to directors, compliance officers, and other senior staff members. A recent enforcement action against Shelgeyr Limited has brought compliance deficiencies back into the spotlight. Isle of Man Considers Individual AML Penalties Proposed legislation in the Isle of Man would significantly expand gambling enforcement reach. Rather than restricting penalties to operators, regulators are seeking authority to levy civil penalties on individuals who contribute to compliance failures through "consent, connivance, or negligence." The draft Gambling Legislation (Amendment) Bill 2025 would expose directors, compliance officers, and other senior employees to potential financial sanctions. Essentially, the Gambling Supervision Commission aims to establish dual accountability—one layer for the corporate entity and another for individuals overseeing compliance frameworks. This move coincides with the jurisdiction's ongoing assessment of its financial crime risk exposure as "medium high," a classification maintained since 2020. Officials have also identified gambling as among the sectors most vulnerable to money laundering and terrorist financing threats.The timing reflects recent regulatory action. In the previous month, the Commission imposed a £200,000 penalty on Shelgeyr Limited following an examination that revealed deficiencies in customer due diligence, enhanced due diligence, and continuous monitoring. Regulators noted that certain accounts remained active or were reopened without adequate documentation. The examination also uncovered inadequate verification of fund sources, shortcomings in screening for politically exposed individuals, and documentation issues that compromised audit trails. Additionally, regulators highlighted substandard risk evaluations related to geographic risk and virtual currency exposure. Governance deficiencies also featured in the case. The Money Laundering Reporting Officer and Compliance Officer were deemed to possess insufficient expertise and authority, while training materials had not been refreshed for over a year.

Wealthsimple Targets Prediction Markets in Canada

(AsiaGameHub) - Wealthsimple is poised to enter Canada's prediction market sector, having secured regulatory clearance to provide specific event-based contracts. While the proposed platform will enable users to trade on real-world results, significant restrictions remain in place. Good to Know Wealthsimple obtained CIRO approval for contracts linked to economic indicators, financial markets, and climate patterns. Under the terms of the approval, contracts related to sports and elections are excluded. The company must still secure authorization from every province and territory prior to any localized launch. Wealthsimple Secures Entry into Canadian Prediction Markets Sports and elections will not be included. Nevertheless, Wealthsimple has advanced significantly towards introducing a prediction market trading platform in Canada, having already obtained regulatory approval for a more restricted range of event contracts. Rather than venturing into the most popular categories, the Ontario-based investment firm gained authorization from the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization to offer contracts linked to economic factors, financial markets, and climate developments. This approval provides Wealthsimple access to a segment of the Canadian market that is still rigorously regulated.The timing is notable given that Canada has not historically been receptive to short-term event contracts. A 2017 ruling largely deemed short-term binary contracts unlawful within the nation. Despite this context, an exemption applies to firms regulated by CIRO, a category Wealthsimple now falls into. Matthew Burgoyne, a partner and chair of the digital assets and blockchain practice at Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP in Calgary, commented: “(The limitations establish) a secure environment for Canadian residents to engage in trading these kinds of contracts,” Consequently, while numerous firms are still excluded, CIRO-regulated entities can still participate due to exceptions acknowledged by the Canadian Securities Administrators. Wealthsimple is now the second company to achieve this, after Interactive Brokers Canada, which secured CIRO approval last April. However, national industry-level approval does not imply immediate trading access for Canadians. Wealthsimple must still obtain distinct approval in every province and territory before local consumers can engage with these markets. The Ontario Securities Commission informed The Globe and Mail that it would not disclose specifics on individual situations.An additional perspective is also relevant. Interactive Brokers Canada primarily caters to seasoned traders and institutional clients. Wealthsimple, conversely, is anticipated to target a wider retail demographic, potentially expanding the consumer base for prediction markets in Canada should provincial approvals materialize. Currently, no live Wealthsimple prediction markets are available for Canadian users. Nevertheless, the approval provides the sector with an additional entry point and contributes to the momentum of a market framework that remains restricted, regulated, and confined to particular contract categories.
