Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - August 13, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Québec, is pleased to announce the resumption of work on the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") for its 100%-owned Lac Knife flake graphite project located near Fermont, in the province's prolific iron ore mining district.The Company has formally re-engaged IOS Geosciences Inc. ("IOS"), a leading Québec-based geological consulting firm and former general contractor on the ESIA, to complete a total of sixteen (16) technical reports required for submission to Québec's environmental and natural resource authorities. These reports represent a major step in advancing the Lac Knife project toward permitting and the goal of mine construction.The ESIA program, initially launched in 2020, involves multidisciplinary technical evaluations and environmental baseline work conducted across 2020 and 2021. Finalization was delayed due to funding constraints but is now back on track. Report completion is estimated by early 2026, with submissions planned shortly thereafter to the Québec Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and the Fight Against Climate Change ("MDDELCC"), as well as the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests ("MRNF").The sixteen (16) technical reports in progress cover critical permitting areas, including:Condemnation and pit wall drillingAcid-generating potential analysisGeotechnical drilling and soil mechanicsSoil geochemistry and chemistry baselineLake-bottom geochemical and surface water quality surveysGroundwater habitat assessment and follow-upCaribou habitat assessment and follow-upGeometallurgical and graphite flake characterizationThese comprehensive studies are essential for satisfying Québec's rigorous environmental and social licensing requirements and underscore Focus Graphite's commitment to environmental stewardship and Indigenous engagement through project development.In parallel, Focus has also authorized IOS proceed with geochemical analysis of over 1,000 split and pulverized drill core samples collected from its 2022 exploration drilling program at the Lac Tétépisca ("Tétépisca") graphite project. The samples, targeting the Southwest MOGC and West Limb geophysical (MAG-EM) conductors, will undergo carbon and sulfur determinations at certified laboratories.Upon receipt of assays, IOS will finalize and submit the corresponding technical reports covering 14,900.5 metres of core drilling from 74 holes to the MRNF. An updated Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") and National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("MOGC") graphite deposit is anticipated in Fall 2025, which will further define Tétépisca's development potential alongside Lac Knife."Resuming the ESIA is a pivotal milestone that moves us closer to full permitting and our goal of mine development at Lac Knife," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "With most fieldwork and laboratory studies already complete, we're in a strong position to finalize this critical stage efficiently. At the same time, initiating assay work at Tétépisca to support an upgraded mineral resource estimate reflects our commitment to building value across our entire Québec asset base."The Company also announced the grant of incentive stock options as compensation to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants. Options to purchase up to 4,215,000 Common Shares of the Company have been granted at an exercise price of $0.14 per share. The options expire on 13 August, 2030.

康基医疗控股有限公司与Knight Bidco Limited今日联合宣布，拟通过协议安排（"建议交易"）对公司进行私有化。康基医疗控股有限公司私有化要约：每股9.25港元的注销价较股份于截至未受干扰日期（即2025年6月30日）之收盘价溢价约21.7%，较股份于截至未受干扰日期（包括该日）止360个交易日在联交所所报的平均收盘价溢价约47.3%，且超过了2022年以来于联交所录得之最高收盘价。本次私有化拟以协议安排方式实施，要约人及其一致行动人士合共持有公司74.75%之股份；已获得一家机构股东作出的不可撤销承诺，将投票支持该私有化方案。该方案为股东提供明确机会，使其能够于康基医疗控股有限公司之股份持续面临交易价格压力及流动性受限之际，变现其于公司之权益。香港，2025年8月13日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2025年8月12日，康基医疗控股有限公司（"康基医疗"或"公司"，股份代号：9997.HK）与KNIGHT BIDCO LIMITED"要约人"今日联合宣布，双方拟以协议安排的方式对公司进行私有化，以期公司能够专注于长期战略决策，包括研发长期投入及运营升级。待该方案完成后，公司将成为要约人的全资附属公司，而公司股份于联交所的上市地位将被撤销。要约人由以下成员组成的财团全资持有：钟先生与申屠女士（创始人）、TPG实体、NewQuest V基金及Al-Rayyan Holding。交易理据鉴于股票的交易价格持续承压且流动性长期不足，公司从股票市场筹集资金的能力受到严重限制。除此之外，本公司为维持上市地位须承担行政、合规及其他与上市相关之成本及开支，故维持上市地位之裨益有限。由于国内市场竞争加剧及持续之监管不确定性，为实现可持续增长，公司的长期策略需进行重大投资，此举可能对短期财务表现造成压力。预计需将额外资源分配至以下领域：销售与市场推广、研发及商业化投资，以及中国境外之市场扩张。鉴于维持上市地位的裨益有限，且涉及相关上市成本，康基医疗继续维持上市地位之必要性已显著降低。此外，该方案的实施将缓解公司短期财务表现所受压力，从而更专注于战略目标的推进。公司预期需要配置更多资源，以保障其未来可持续发展。此外，该方案为少数股东提供具吸引力的机会，使其能在市场波动、行业及宏观不确定性，以及股份流动性有限之情况下，实现可观回报。KNIGHT BIDCO LIMITED提出的私有化方案为康基医疗及其股东提供了及时有效的解决方案，提议将康基医疗私有化的方案将：(a) 降低康基医疗的行政、合规及其他上市相关成本；(b) 缓解康基医疗面临的短期业绩指标压力，使康基医疗能够专注于长远战略决策（例如可能导致短期亏损的长期研发投入及运营升级）；以及(c) 为现有股东提供明确保障，使其能以显著高于未受干扰股价的溢价，实现于康基医疗的权益变现。综上所述，要约方认为私有化交易能为全体股东提供即时且最具吸引力价值的战略选择，同时可规避不确定市场环境带来的风险。交易方案概述本次私有化方案设定的股份注销价格为每股9.25港元，按股权价值计算对公司估值约为14亿美元[1]。要约方已明确表示，注销价格为最终定价且后续不会上调。该注销价格体现以下考量：较股份于未受干扰日期（即2025年6月30日）在联交所所报收盘价溢价约21.7%。较股份于截至未受干扰日期（包括该日）止360个交易日在联交所所报的平均收盘价溢价约47.3%。以及截至未受干扰日期（包括该日）止于联交所所报之股份价格的过去52周最低收盘价（5.01港币）溢价约84.6%。此外，在较长的过往期间内，注销价格超过了股份自2022年以来的最高收盘价（8.66港币）。本次注销价格的确定已综合考量下列因素（包括但不限于），股份于联交所的近期及历史交易价格，公司公开披露的财务资讯，及参照近年来香港市场类似私有化交易案例。该方案的实施受限于所有先决条件于2026年1月31日（先决条件最后截止日期）或之前达成，并在2026年4月30日（最后截止日）之前满足条件。公司将委任独立财务顾问（"IFA"）向为方案目的而设立的独立董事委员会（"独立董事委员会"）提供意见，以便就方案向股东作出推荐建议。方案的详情，包括独立董事委员会的最终推荐意见及独立财务顾问的意见函，将载入计划文件，并预期在切实可行的情况下尽快寄发给股东。协议安排会议协议安排会议的具体细节将载于计划文件，该文件预计将于适当时候寄发予股东。本次交易尚需满足《联合公告》所列的多项先决条件及条件，包括但不限于监管批准、股东批准及其他法定合规要求。不可撤销承诺本公司已获得一名机构股东作出的不可撤销承诺，将就该项提案投赞成票。详情请参阅《联合公告》。康基医疗已于2025年7月18日上午9时正起于联交所暂停买卖，以待刊发本公告。公司已向联交所申请股份自2025年8月13日上午9点起恢复买卖。摩根大通担任要约方独家财务顾问。关于康基医疗控股有限公司康基医疗控股有限公司创立于2004年，总部位于中国浙江省杭州市，于2020年6月在香港联合交易所主板上市，股票代码9997.HK。公司专注于设计、开发、生产和销售微创外科手术器械及配套耗材（"MISIA"），秉持着"为医生提供优质产品和服务，致力于人类健康事业"为使命，通过丰富的产品组合为妇产科、普外科、泌尿外科和胸外科等临床科室的微创外科手术提供一站式解决方案，并致力于发展为一个立足中国，辐射全球的国际化微创外科手术器械及配套耗材平台。关于Knight Bidco Limited要约人、MidCo 及TopCo均为于开曼群岛新注册成立的有限公司及仅为实施该建议而成立的投资控股公司。于公告日期，要约人由MidCo全资拥有，而MidCo由TopCo全资拥有。于本公告日期，TopCo由财团成员持有，其中Fortune Spring ZM、Fortune Spring YG、TPG Asia VII、Keyhole、Knight Success、NewQuest V及Al-Rayyan Holding分别持有约25.53%、约14.47%、约24.38%、约5.01%、约5.69%、约4.56%及约20.36%。于本公告日期，除《联合公告》中"公司的股权架构"一节所披露外，TPG Asia VII、Keyhole、Knight Success、NewQuest V及Al-Rayyan Holding均非股东。康基医疗现由钟鸣先生及其配偶申屠女士共同控制，二人合计持有康基医疗52.98%股份。待私有化完成后，钟氏夫妇将通过Fortune Spring ZM与Fortune Spring YG继续持有要约方最终控股公司（TopCo）40.00%股权，并保持第一大股东地位。更多细节详见《联合公告》。各创始人实体均为在英属维尔京群岛注册成立的商业公司。Knight Success为一家于新加坡新注册成立的有限公司且为一家投资公司。Keyhole为一家于开曼群岛注册成立之获豁免有限公司及投资控股公司。TPG Asia VII为一家于新加坡注册成立的有限公司。Knight Success及Keyhole均由TPG Asia VII全资拥有或控制，而后者由TPG Asia GenPar VII Advisors, Inc.控制，并最终由纳斯达克上市的特拉华州公司TPG Inc.控制。TPG是一家全球领先的另类资产管理公司，成立于1992年，截至2025年6月30日年管理的资产超过2,690亿美元。多年来，TPG一直致力于投资变革、增长与创新，旨在为投资者构建多元化的产品与策略，同时借由贯彻纪律及卓越的营运管理，提升投资策略与投资组合的整体表现。NewQuest V为一家于新加坡注册成立的有限公司及投资控股公司。NewQuest V由NewQuest Asia Fund V, L.P.全资拥有，而后者由NewQuest Asia Fund V GP Ltd.控制，并最终由纳斯达克上市的特拉华州公司TPG Inc.控制。NewQuest成立于2011年，是亚洲领先的二级私募股权平台之一，拥有亚洲最有经验的二级团队，分布于五个办事处。自成立以来，NewQuest一直专注于与普通合伙人合作，创建定制的解决方案，以满足私募资产持有人及其利益相关者的流动性和其他战略需求。从2018年建立的战略合作伙伴关系开始，NewQuest2022年1月成为TPG的全资附属公司。Al-Rayyan Holding为一家根据卡塔尔金融中心管理局的规定于2012年在卡塔尔成立的有限责任公司，且为卡塔尔主权财富基金卡塔尔投资局全资拥有的间接附属公司。成立于2005年的卡塔尔投资局旨在投资和管理国家储备基金。卡塔尔投资局为全球最大、最活跃的主权财富基金之一。卡塔尔投资局投资于广泛的资产类别及地区，并与世界各地的领先机构合作，建立具有长期前景的全球化及多元化投资组合。于本公告日期，Al-Rayyan Holding及其一致行方（与Al-Rayyan Holding 单独或被视为与该财团一致行事的各方除外）均不持有任何股份。如有垂询，敬请联系：康基医疗控股有限公司要约人传媒联络：皓天财经集团有限公司Angie Li & Jason Lai电话：(+852) 6150 8598 / (+852) 9798 0715电邮：po@wsfg.hk传媒联络: 博然思维Kay Lau电话：+852 6021 7009Tong Li电话：+86 134 8872 6729电邮：TeamKnight@brunswickgroup.com[1] 以每股9.25港币的注销价格、1,207,994,000股流通股，以及7.85的美元兑港币汇率计算免责声明：本新闻稿中使用的所有未另行定义的大写术语，其含义均以2025年8月12日发布的《联合公告》中的释义为准。本新闻稿须与《联合公告》全文一并阅读，公告副本可在以下链接查阅。https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2025/0812/2025081201339_c.pdf Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

SINGAPORE, Aug 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Artificial intelligence has many uses in daily life. From personalized shopping suggestions to voice assistants and real-time fraud detection, AI is working behind the scenes to make experiences smoother and more seamless. Behind every smart AI feature is a process that involves two distinct stages: AI training and AI inference. While they're both essential to building intelligent systems, they serve very different purposes and have unique requirements. Let's break down the differences between training and inference.What is AI training?AI training is the process of feeding an AI model large volumes of data, so it learns to recognize patterns and generate the required output.Training generally requires large volumes of labeled or unlabeled data, each of which may facilitate different forms of training.Labeled data: Some projects require a model to make decisions or generate output based on established patterns or correlations. Here, it makes sense to train the model on labeled data using supervised learning techniques.Unlabeled data: Training models on unlabeled data lets them detect new patterns and build an understanding of the relationships between inputs and outputs. This is called unsupervised learning.Think of AI training like teaching a student using flashcards, quizzes, and feedback. During training, the model constantly adjusts internal parameters (often millions or billions of them) to minimize errors and improve accuracy. This phase is computationally intensive and requires specialized hardware like GPUs or TPUs to process large datasets efficiently.For example, training an AI model to recognize objects in images might involve showing it millions of labeled photos of cats, cars, and coffee mugs until it can correctly identify these objects on its own.What is AI inference?Once a model has been trained, it's ready to perform tasks. AI inference is the process of using a trained model to make predictions or decisions on new, unseen data.Inference is typically faster and more lightweight than training. It's used in real-time applications like chatbots, recommendation engines, voice recognition, and edge devices like smartphones or smart cameras. Inference is the test of training. If the output or predictions from your model are inaccurate, you may need to go back to testing.Going back to the earlier example, inference is what happens when you upload a photo to your phone and the AI instantly recognizes your pet as a "cat." The model has been trained to recognize cat images; it just applies what it already knows.Where AI training and inference differThough both stages are part of the same AI lifecycle, they differ significantly in purpose, speed, and system requirements. Here's a closer look at the key differences:ObjectiveTraining aims to teach the AI model by exposing it to data and helping it learn relationships, rules, and patterns.Inference uses the trained model to generate output (such as predictions, classifications, or decisions) based on new data.Time takenTraining can take hours, days, or even weeks, depending on the size of the model and the complexity of the data. It's a resource-heavy, iterative process.Inference happens much faster, often in real time or near real time.Infrastructure needsTraining requires high-performance computing resources such as powerful GPUs or TPUs, and large memory bandwidth. Most training happens in cloud environments or specialized data centers.Inference can often run on lower-powered devices, including edge hardware like mobile phones or IoT devices. Dedicated inference servers or GPU instances may still be needed in some cases.AI training and inference work hand in hand, but they have different goals, requirements, and challenges. Training is about teaching the model, and inference is about putting it to work. Organizations planning AI projects must consider both phases when budgeting, selecting hardware, and choosing infrastructure.CONTACT:Sonakshi MurzeManagersonakshi.murze@iquanti.comSOURCE: OneMain Financial Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

The parties intend to implement the privatisation of the Company by way of a scheme of arrangement, with a view to enabling the Company to focus on long-term strategic decisions, such as longer-term business investment in R&D and operations enhancements.Upon completion of the Proposal, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror, and the listing of the Shares will be withdrawn from the Stock Exchange.The Offeror is owned by a consortium comprising Mr. Zhong and Ms. Shentu (the Founders), the TPG Entities, NewQuest V and Al-Rayyan Holding. Rationale for the ProposalDue to the long-term underperformance in the trading prices and trading liquidity of the Shares, the ability of the Company to raise funds from the equity market has been significantly limited. In addition, the Company has to incur administrative, compliance and other listing related costs and expenses for maintaining the listing status. Accordingly, there are limited benefits for the Company to maintain its listing status.In light of intensifying competition in domestic market and ongoing regulatory uncertainties, and in order to achieve sustainable growth, the Company's long-term strategy requires significant investment which could create short-term pressure on the Company’s financial performance. It is anticipated that additional resources need to be allocated to areas including sales and marketing, investment in research, development, and commercialisation, and the Company’s market expansion outside of China.Considering this, and the listing-related costs, there are limited benefits for Kangji Medical to maintain its listing status. In addition, the implementation of the Proposal will alleviate pressure on Kangji Medical’s short-term financial performance, which enables better focus on strategic objectives. It is anticipated that additional resources will need to be allocated for its future sustainable growth.Furthermore, the Proposal provides minority shareholders an attractive opportunity to realise compelling returns amid market volatility, industry and macro uncertainties, and the limited liquidity of the Shares.Knight Bidco Limited’s proposal offers a timely solution to Kangji Medical and its shareholders. Its proposal to privatise Kangji Medical will:(a) reduce Kangji Medical’s administrative, compliance and other listing related costs;(b) relieve Kangji Medical from the pressure associated with short-term performance metrics and enable Kangji Medical to focus on long-term strategic decisions (such as longer-term investment in R&D and operations enhancements which might incur short-term losses); and(c) present shareholders with certainty over their ability to monetise their interests in Kangji Medical at an attractive premium to the undisturbed share price.In summary, the Offeror believes that a take-private transaction is the strategic alternative that provides immediate and most compelling value for all shareholders, while also avoiding exposure to uncertain market conditions.Overview of the ProposalThe proposal sets out a Cancellation Price of HK$9.25 per share, valuing the company at approximately US$1.4 billion on an equity value basis.[1]The Offeror has indicated the Cancellation Price is final and will not be increased further.The Cancellation Price reflects:A 21.7% premium over the closing price on the Undisturbed Date (being 30 June, 2025).A 47.3% premium over the closing price of 360-trading day average price up to and including the Undisturbed Date.An 84.6% premium over the 52-week closing low (HK$5.01) up to and including the Undisturbed Date.A Cancellation Price above the highest closing price as quoted on the Stock Exchange since 2022 (HK$8.66).The Cancellation Price has taken into account, among other things, the recent and historical prices of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange, publicly available financial information of the Company and with reference to other similar privatisation transactions in Hong Kong in recent years.The Proposal is subject to satisfaction of the Pre-Conditions by the Pre-Condition Long Stop Date (being 31 January, 2026) and the Conditions by the Long Stop Date (being 30 April, 2026). The Company will appoint an independent financial adviser (the “IFA”) to advise the committee of directors who are considered independent for the purposes of the Proposal (the “Independent Directors”) for the purposes of making a recommendation to shareholders in connection with the Proposal. Details of the Proposal including the Independent Directors’ final recommendation on the Proposal and the IFA’s advice will be included in the Scheme Document, expected to be dispatched to shareholders in due course.Scheme MeetingDetails of the Scheme Meeting to be convened will be contained in the Scheme Document which is expected to be dispatched to shareholders in due course.There are several pre-conditions and conditions as set out in the Joint Announcement, including regulatory approvals, shareholders approval and compliance with other legislative requirements.Irrevocable UndertakingAn Irrevocable Undertaking has been received from one institutional shareholder to vote in favour of the Proposal.

香港，2025年8月12日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 五矿资源有限公司（「MMG」；股份代号：1208）今日发布二零二五年中期业绩，公司除税后净利润达566.3百万美元，较二零二四年上半年的除税后净利润79.5百万美元增长逾600%。这一强劲利润提升主要得益于旗下三座铜矿的铜产量均有所增长，铜、金、银、锌的市场价格上扬，以及Las Bambas因铜产量提升而实现单位成本下降。MMG行政总裁赵晶表示："今年上半年，MMG的业务实现了卓越的经营和财务表现。此成果充分展现出公司资产组合的优势、团队的卓越能力以及对战略规划的坚定执行力。"值得关注的是，二零二五年上半年，MMG的安全绩效有所改善，每百万工作小时可记录总工伤事故频率（TRIF）为1.81，低于二零二四年全年的2.06。二零二五年上半年具有能量交换的重大事件频率（SEEEF）为每百万工作小时0.78，与二零二四年持平。运营方面，公司旗下三座铜矿山的铜销量与产量均显著提升，其中Las Bambas表现强劲，Khoemacau和Kinsevere亦处于爬坡阶段。澳大利亚两座矿山虽面临天气影响、设备可靠性以及采矿顺序导致的品位下降等挑战，锌产量仍保持稳定。要点：上半年的EBITDA及EBIT均创下历史新高，其中EBITDA达1,539.9百万美元，较二零二四年上半年增长98%，而EBIT总计1,058.8百万美元，较去年同期增长240%。除税后净利润达566.3百万美元，包括本公司权益持有人应占利润340.0百万美元。经营活动现金流净额较二零二四年上半年增长130%，总额达1,185.0百万美元。这主要受铜销售量增加及商品价格上涨推动。资产负债持续改善，自Las Bambas收购以来，债务净额及杠杆率均创下历史新低。其中，债务净额自二零二四年底以来减少903.3百万美元，主要得益于强劲的运营现金流及提前偿还Khoemacau合营公司集团500百万美元的贷款。二零二五年上半年，杠杆率从41%下降至33%。二零二五年上半年，应付铜销售总量达237,651吨，创二零一八年以来历史新高。Las Bambas二零二五年上半年铜精矿含铜的产量达210,637吨，较二零二四年同期增长67%。EBITDA创下历史新高，达1,310.5百万美元，较二零二四年上半年增长122%。赵晶补充道："MMG的资产负债表达至十年来最稳健水平--受惠于盈利提升和现金流创造带动的债务削减。我们跻身全球十大铜生产商的目标触手可及，透过卓越的运营表现、审慎的资本分配，以及对负责任采矿的持续承诺，我们已为实现这一目标奠定良好基础。"二零二五年的生产指引维持不变，铜总产量最高可达522,000吨，锌产量最高可达240,000吨。如果运营环境稳定且无外部干扰，Las Bambas今年有望实现高达400,000吨的铜产量。MMG正致力达成成本目标，Las Bambas和Rosebery已下调C1成本区间，以反映副产品收益改善及强劲的市场条件。本公司正努力完成近期对巴西镍业的收购，并对公司的长期资产组合及增长前景充满信心。MMG将持续推动运营所在社区的发展，促进当地经济与就业，并为全球可持续未来供应所需的关键矿物。点击查看完整的中期业绩报告，观看行政总裁致辞视频以及下载公司图片。关于MMGMMG成立于二零零九年，其愿景是为低碳未来打造国际领先的矿业公司。公司总部位于澳大利亚墨尔本和中国北京，并在香港联合交易所上市（联交所：1208）。MMG的资产组合涵盖铜、锌和钴的生产，并即将拓展至镍领域。这些金属资源对全球脱碳和电气化目标的实现至关重要。目前，公司的运营业务分布澳大利亚、博茨瓦纳、刚果民主共和国及拉丁美洲。更多信息请点击此处。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Aug 11, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On August 8, the first batch of data center REITs—Nanfang Range Technology Data Center REIT and Nanfang Wanguo Data Center REIT—officially debuted on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, both hitting the daily price limit on their first day of trading, closing at RMB 5.850 and RMB 3.9, respectively. Their strong performance marked the official entry of the REITs market into the "tech new infrastructure" arena and underscored the important role of industrial capital in driving the securitization of computing power infrastructure.As a key investor in both projects, Shoucheng Holdings Limited (0697.HK) has once again found itself in the spotlight. Through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Beijing Shouyuan Xinrong Investment Co., Ltd., and the Beijing Pingzhun Infrastructure Real Estate Investment Fund under its management, Shoucheng Holdings invested in both Nanfang Wanguo Data Center REIT and Nanfang Range Technology Data Center REIT. This represents not only another precise move in the data center sector but also the latest step in Shoucheng’s broader REITs market strategy.Tapping into the “Computing Power Base” to Capture Digital Economy GrowthAccording to public information, the Nanfang Wanguo Data Center REIT is backed by the Guojin Data Cloud Computing Center in Huaqiao, Kunshan, with 4,192 racks; the Nanfang Range Technology Data Center REIT is backed by the A-18 Data Center at Runze (Langfang) International Information Port, located in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei National Computing Hub, with 5,897 racks and an occupancy rate exceeding 99%. Both assets are core regional computing power resources, playing a vital role in supporting 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data applications.Industry experts note that the launch of data center REITs marks the first time that public REITs in China have covered the technology innovation infrastructure segment, facilitating more efficient allocation of computing resources and enhancing the capital market’s ability to serve the digital economy.Full-Chain Deployment: Building a Closed-Loop REITs EcosystemShoucheng’s involvement in the REITs market has long gone beyond single investments. Since becoming one of the largest strategic investors in China’s inaugural public REITs in 2021, the company has built a complete ecosystem covering “Pre-REITs industrial fund incubation — platform operations — public REITs exit — strategic placement investment.”Currently, Shoucheng’s REITs fund management scale exceeds RMB 30 billion, with investments spanning transportation hubs, urban renewal, green energy, and data centers. In 2025 alone, the company has invested in the Sunlon REIT and the Huadian REIT, and through the Beijing Pingzhun Infrastructure Real Estate Investment Fund, partnered with China Life Investment and Caixin Life Insurance to launch a RMB 10 billion Pingzhun Infrastructure Fund, further strengthening its position as a leading industrial capital player in the REITs market.Industrial Capital Advantage: Driving Sustainable Market DevelopmentAs an industrial capital investor, Shoucheng Holdings not only provides funding but also leverages its expertise in asset management, operations, and integration of intelligent infrastructure to enhance both the operational efficiency and long-term value of underlying assets. This “capital + operations” dual empowerment model differentiates the company from pure financial investors in the REITs market.Analysts believe that with the ongoing expansion of China’s public REITs market and the acceleration of securitization in emerging infrastructure such as data centers, Shoucheng Holdings is well-positioned to benefit from the convergence of “new tech infrastructure + REITs” and to consolidate its leadership in the sector.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.
