The contingent brings together people at different stages of the accountancy journey, from seasoned professionals to those still pursuing the Singapore Chartered Accountant Qualification (SCAQ). It reflects the breadth of a profession that works quietly behind the scenes to uphold trust, accountability and confidence across businesses, institutions and the wider economy.

The accountancy profession in Singapore is two years older than the nation itself, making ISCA’s NDP debut a meaningful reminder of the profession’s long-standing role in Singapore’s development.

Among those marching is Mr Ng Heng Khuan, a Chartered Accountant of Singapore who is serving as Reserve Contingent Commander. A veteran of the profession, he joined the contingent during a career break and saw it as a meaningful opportunity to give back.

Mr Ng said: “This is not an opportunity that comes by often. Taking part in NDP has given me the chance to reflect on my journey in the profession and to contribute in a different way. What has been especially meaningful is marching alongside younger members of the profession and seeing that shared sense of pride and purpose grow week by week.”

Another contingent member, Mr Vincent Lye Kim Hee, Finance Manager at FOZL and SCAQ candidate, is balancing work, study and NDP rehearsals as part of the contingent.

Mr Lye said: “It has been demanding, but also deeply rewarding. NDP has shown me another side of teamwork, one built on discipline, trust and shared commitment. I am proud to be part of ISCA’s first contingent and to represent a profession that plays such an important role in business and society.”

Led by Contingent Commander Mr Koh Wee Kwang, ISCA Council member, the contingent includes representatives from 10 partner organisations across the accountancy ecosystem, including public sector agencies, professional services firms, institutes of higher learning, professional bodies, ISCA Cares Ambassadors, ISCA staff and ISCA members.

As Singapore marks its 61st year of independence, ISCA’s participation in NDP 2026 recognises the contributions of the accountancy profession to nation building. From strengthening financial stewardship and governance to supporting business confidence and public trust, the profession has long played an important role in Singapore’s progress.

ISCA President Mr Lee Boon Teck said: “This is a proud first for ISCA and for the accountancy profession. Accountants often work behind the scenes, but the work they do helps build trust in business, institutions and the wider economy. Marching at NDP is a meaningful way to recognise those contributions and to show younger Singaporeans that accountancy is a profession with purpose.”

ISCA’s inaugural participation in the NDP marching contingent also aims to raise awareness of the diverse and meaningful career opportunities in accountancy, and to inspire more young Singaporeans to consider a future in the profession.

As the national accountancy body, ISCA’s presence at NDP 2026 reflects its commitment to advancing the profession, strengthening trust in business and contributing to Singapore’s future.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition.

Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) AeroVironment understated the likelihood that it would imminently face competition from other vendors for the work it performed in connection with the U.S. Space Force’s Satellite Communication Augmentation Resources (“SCAR”) program and the U.S. Space Force’s ongoing efforts to modernize the Satellite Control Network (“SCN”); (2) accordingly, defendants overstated AeroVironment’s business and financial prospects; and (3) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 June 2026 – The “Wealth Management Expo 2026”, powered by Bank of China (Hong Kong) (“BOCHK”) and organised by TVB under the theme of “Empowering Enterprises to Go Global, Pioneering the Blue Ocean of Silver Economy”, was successfully held today. The Expo featured top-tier financial experts and prominent figures for market pulse insights and visionary perspectives on the international landscape, the international use of RMB, enterprises going global, silver economy and wealth management.

Against this backdrop, Hong Kong, as a vital bridge between the Chinese Mainland and the rest of the world, is set to tap into an unprecedented opportunity for growth. Bank of China (Hong Kong) will actively align with national policies and the HKSAR Government’s direction by deepening its regional business development and promoting the international use of RMB, while continuing to fulfil its corporate social responsibilities, contributing to the consolidation of Hong Kong’s position as an international financial centre.”

Beyond investing in some of the world’s most advanced robotic surgical platforms, Vinmec is pioneering the country’s first integrated robotic surgery ecosystem, connecting multiple specialties, hospitals and global technology partners to expand access to cutting-edge surgical care for patients nationwide.

The defining feature of the new network is Vietnam’s first and only multi-connected robotic surgery ecosystem. Rather than deploying standalone robotic systems, Vinmec has established an integrated operating platform that brings together multiple world-leading robotic technologies across its hospital network. Vinmec Times City International Hospital serves as the clinical coordination hub, linking robotic surgery centers at Vinmec Smart City, Vinmec Da Nang, Vinmec Central Park, Vinmec Can Tho and other Vinmec hospitals throughout the country.

For general surgery, Vinmec operates three of the world’s leading robotic surgery platforms: Da Vinci Xi at Vinmec Times City, Hugo RAS at Vinmec Da Nang and Vinmec Central Park, and Toumai MT-1000 at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Can Tho. Together, these technologies enable surgeons to access deep anatomical structures, perform highly precise procedures within confined surgical spaces, and select the most appropriate platform based on each patient’s condition. Notably, the Toumai MT-1000 also introduces the capability for 5G-enabled remote robotic surgery, laying the foundation for future models of connected healthcare delivery.

In orthopedic surgery, Vinmec has deployed a comprehensive portfolio of next-generation joint replacement robots, including ROSA at Vinmec Smart City, MISSO at Vinmec Times City and Vinmec Can Tho, and CORI across Vinmec Ocean Park 2, Hai Phong, Da Nang, Central Park, Phu Quoc and Nha Trang. These technologies enable personalized surgical planning based on each patient’s anatomy while supporting millimeter-level precision in implant positioning and joint balancing, helping optimize clinical outcomes and accelerate postoperative recovery.

For neurosurgery and spine surgery, Vinmec has integrated the StealthStation S8, Mazor X Stealth Edition robotic guidance system and the O-arm with StealthStation O2 imaging platform at Vinmec Smart City and Vinmec Da Nang. This advanced technology suite provides real-time navigation, intraoperative imaging and continuous surgical verification, enabling surgeons to accurately access complex anatomical structures while improving procedural safety and reducing the risk of complications.

Complementing its advanced technology ecosystem, Vinmec is also the first healthcare provider in Vietnam to develop a “3-in-1” robotic surgery model built on Personalization, Automation and Standardization. Every patient receives an individualized treatment plan through preoperative 3D reconstruction and surgical simulation, benefits from AI-enabled robotic assistance during surgery, and is treated according to internationally recognized standards in clinical practice, education and research.

Technology delivers value only when placed in the hands of highly skilled professionals. To operate this large-scale robotic surgery ecosystem, Vinmec has developed a multidisciplinary team of specialists who have undergone rigorous training, competency assessments and international robotic surgery certification programs. Their expertise forms the foundation for delivering safe, high-quality and consistently effective surgical care.

Alongside the launch of the robotic surgery network, Vinmec also announced the establishment of the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund, backed by nearly VND 300 billion in funding from Vingroup. The fund is expected to reduce financial barriers and expand patient access to advanced robotic surgery, particularly for those facing financial hardship.

At the event, Prof. Tran Van Thuan, MD, PhD, Deputy Minister of Health, remarked: “I highly appreciate Vinmec’s vision of not only investing in advanced medical equipment but also building a comprehensive ecosystem encompassing clinical care, medical education, scientific research, technology transfer, and international collaboration.” The Deputy Minister also acknowledged the humanitarian value of the Robotic Surgery Patient Support Fund, which helps expand access to advanced surgical technologies for eligible patients.

Speaking at the launch ceremony, Prof. Tran Trung Dung, MD, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of Vinmec Healthcare System, said:

“Our High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network is built on a model of multidimensional connectivity connecting experts, hospitals and the world’s leading technology partners within a single integrated ecosystem. Our goal is to provide patients in Vietnam with access to the most advanced surgical innovations while progressively positioning Vietnam as a regional destination for high-tech healthcare and precision surgery.”

According to Assoc. Prof. Pham Van Binh, MD, PhD, Director of the Vinmec High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network, the true strength of the centers lies not only in their advanced robotic systems but also in their ability to transform technology into sustainable clinical excellence.

“Our vision extends beyond building a treatment center. We are establishing an academic institution for robotic surgery that integrates clinical practice, academic training, scientific research and technology transfer, bringing together leading robotic surgeons from Vietnam and around the world.”

The launch of Vinmec’s High-Tech Robotic Surgery Network represents not only a significant milestone in the healthcare system’s development but also an important step forward in accelerating Vietnam’s transition toward an era of precision, personalized and technology-driven surgery. By bringing world-class surgical innovation closer to patients, Vinmec is laying the foundation for Vietnam to emerge as a new regional hub for robotic surgery and advanced medical treatment in Southeast Asia.

Important Information

Investing involves significant risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no assurance that the Trusts will generate a profit for investors.

Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Polkadot are relatively new asset classes, and the market for these assets is subject to rapid changes and uncertainty. Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Polkadot are largely unregulated and these investments may be more susceptible to fraud and manipulation than more regulated investments.

Must be preceded or accompanied by the prospectuses for TETH (here), TSOL (here), THYP (here), TSUI (here), and TDOT (here).

The Trusts participate in staking a portion of their holdings in order to generate additional rewards. Staking involves committing assets to support the operations of a blockchain and, in return, may provide rewards to the Trusts. While staking can potentially enhance returns, it also introduces additional risks, including operational, technological, regulatory, and counterparty risks.​ Staking Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot introduces several risks, including the possibility of losing staked Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot through penalties, slashing, or inactivity leaks if validators behave poorly, go offline, or violate protocol rules. Staked Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Polkadot can also be locked for long and unpredictable periods due to activation and exit queues, creating liquidity constraints and making it harder to meet redemptions. Because staking depends heavily on third-party providers, operational failures, outages, cybersecurity breaches, or mismanagement by these providers could lead to lost assets or reduced rewards. Rewards themselves are uncertain and can fluctuate based on network conditions, validator performance, governance changes, commission rates, and downtime. Additionally, staking may create conflicts of interest if operators are incentivized to stake more Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot than is prudent, increasing liquidity risk.

Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Polkadot are subject to unique and substantial risks, including significant price volatility and lack of liquidity, and theft. The value of an investment in either of the Trusts could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero. Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Polkadot are subject to rapid price swings, including as a result of actions and statements by influencers and the media, changes in the supply of and demand for Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, and Polkadot, and other factors. There is no assurance that Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot will maintain their value over the long-term.

Failure by a Trust’s Custodian to exercise due care in the safekeeping of the Trust’s Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot, as applicable, could result in a loss to the Trust. Shareholders cannot be assured that a Custodian will maintain adequate insurance with respect to the Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot, as applicable, held by the custodian on behalf of the Trust.

The Trusts are not actively managed and will not take any actions to take advantage, or mitigate the impacts, of volatility in the price of Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot, as applicable. An investment in a Trust is not a direct investment in Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot. Investors will also forgo certain rights conferred by owning Ethereum, Solana, Hyperliquid, Sui, or Polkadot directly. Shares of a Trust are generally bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Trust. Only Authorized Participants may trade directly with a Trust and only large blocks of Shares called “creation units.” Your brokerage commissions will reduce returns.

Shares in the Trusts are not FDIC insured and may lose value and have no bank guarantee.

The Marketing Agent for each Trust is Foreside Global Services, LLC. 21Shares US LLC is the Sponsor to each Trust. 21Shares is not affiliated with Foreside Global Services, LLC. FalconX is not affiliated with Foreside Global Services, LLC.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements concerning the drivers of Badger Meter’s “record” financial results, demand for Badger Meter’s products, and its prospects for continued growth. During the Class Period, defendants told investors that Badger Meter’s strong financial results reflected “ongoing favorable industry trends,” “secular growth drivers,” and “solid operating execution.” They likewise touted “strong” demand and said they were seeing “robust order pacing and a strong bid pipeline that positions us well for continued sales and earnings growth,” and that Badger Meter possessed a “long runway” for growth.

According to the lawsuit, these statements were materially false and misleading. In truth, Badger Meter’s financial results during the Class Period were at least partially attributable to Badger Meter’s practice of pulling-forward customer orders to recognize revenue early, which concealed weakening demand and deteriorating near-term order trends. This practice also depleted revenue otherwise available for future periods, ultimately causing the disappointing financial results Badger Meter later reported. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

HONG KONG, June 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Youngtimers AG (Swiss Stock Exchange: YTME), a company listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange, announced today that its renaming to C Capital Holdings AG has been published in the Commercial Registry. Effective today, the Company’s shares are expected to begin trading on the Swiss Stock Exchange under its new name and ticker symbol, CCAP.

The new name reflects the Company’s role as the holding parent of the C Capital Group, unifying the Group’s brand identity and reinforcing its market recognition. The listed entity’s core qualifications, shareholders’ rights, asset ownership and the validity of all of its agreements remain unaffected; only the brand name of the holding parent company has changed, bringing the listed platform and the operating business under one unified brand.

Group-Wide Brand Following Focus on Asset Management on the APAC Market

This renaming reflects the Group’s recent development. Youngtimers AG was historically a holding company with changing subsidiaries and participations listed on the Swiss Stock Exchange. Today, C Capital serves as the Group’s core operating entity, positioning the Group to be a global asset management group focused on the Asia-Pacific market.

The renaming brings the Group’s brand, business and capital markets identity into alignment. It reflects the positioning of C Capital Holdings AG and the Group’s strategy of connecting global capital with opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region, while strengthening its credibility and influence in global private equity, hard-tech investment and cross-border capital markets.

Mr. Ben Cheng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said:" Renaming to C Capital Holdings AG reflects who we are today and where we are headed. This new identity supports our long-term strategy and reflects our ambition to build a trusted bridge that helps global capital access opportunities across the Asia-Pacific region. "

A Solid Track Record, Steady Progress in Recent Business

With more than a decade of focus in the private investment market, C Capital ranks among the leading foreign-funded private equity investors, with a long-standing focus on frontier technology and consumer opportunities. Its portfolio includes industry leading companies such as Biren, Agibot, SenseTime, XPeng, NIO, RedNote, Nothing Phone, Casetify and Lalamove.

Anchored in Long-Term Thinking, Entering a New Phase of Global Growth

The renaming of the Swiss-listed entity aligns with C Capital’s entry into a new phase of global growth. Going forward, C Capital Holdings AG will draw on the governance strengths of its internationally listed Swiss platform, its global capital resources and its cross-border credit standing, while continuing to apply a long-term investment philosophy. With a global outlook and a continued focus on core Asia-Pacific industries, the Group will concentrate on advanced manufacturing and frontier technology sectors, coordinate its private equity, private credit and controlling real-asset holdings, and work closely with its industrial ecosystem partners to deliver long-term, stable and sustainable returns for global investors and partners.

Organised by Hospitality Asia, the summit brought together a diverse ecosystem of stakeholders under an expanded multi-summit format to address the investment, design, and revenue strategies driving the Malaysian hospitality market forward.

The event achieved unprecedented scale, drawing 351 unique event attendees representing 228 leading companies from 10 countries. While local market dynamics took center stage with 84.1% of delegates hailing from Malaysia, the conference maintained a strong regional footprint with notable participation from Singapore (8.2%), Indonesia (2.3%), Thailand (2.0%), and Japan (1.1%), alongside delegates from the Americas, India, Mainland China, the Philippines, and Australia.

Reflecting the event’s high-level networking ecosystem, the business nature breakdown revealed an owner-centric audience: 40.2% represented Asset Ownership, followed by Hotel Management & Operations (16.0%), Technology & Vendors (13.1%), and Design, Build & Project Delivery (11.7%). The remaining delegation comprised government associations, advisory services, institutional investors, media, F&B, wellness, and travel providers.

A Triple-Summit Strategic Agenda

For the 2026 edition, the conference featured three summits, driven by a powerhouse lineup of 81 expert speakers and supported by 43 elite event sponsors & partners.

The Hotel Investment Summit focused heavily on macro-economics, asset valuation, and funding structures. A key highlight was the interactive panel session examining how owners can navigate market volatility and align their portfolios with changing market demands.

"The core value of this summit lies in the collective exchange of experiences, learning from fellow industry leaders, and gaining a precise understanding of modern traveler and guest expectations," noted Andrew Khoo, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer The MUI Group. "The primary challenge within Malaysian hospitality today is establishing meaningful connections with the right partners. We possess industry passion; by bringing the right stakeholders together, we can seamlessly deliver properties that align with the highest guest expectations."

The Hotel Revenue Summit addressed the commercial side of operations, focusing on total revenue management (TRevPAR), dynamic pricing algorithms, and distribution strategies. The panel sessions challenged traditional commercial models, offering fresh operational perspectives for the year ahead.

"My ultimate expectation is to support and elevate the vital groundwork being done by hoteliers across the industry," shared Anshul Kumar, Director of Sales, India and Southeast Asia Aven Hospitality. "This summit presents a remarkable opportunity to gain deeper strategic insights from peers and partners right from within the heart of the sector. It offers a valuable moment to step back, evaluate your overarching strategy, and analyze the way you operate, while simultaneously connecting with the key decision-makers who impact your day-to-day operations."

The Hotel Design Summit explored the physical evolution of spaces, highlighting local craftsmanship, and narrative-driven architecture. The panel discussions focused on maximizing design return on investment (ROI) in both urban conversions and resort spaces.

"Participating in HMC for the first time has provided an invaluable opportunity to gain fresh insights from the panels and view the Malaysian hospitality landscape through a broader strategic lens," stated Ben Gregoire, Founder & Principal of LEVELS. "Networking directly with suppliers, property operators, and asset owners is incredibly beneficial, particularly given the highly unique and diverse tourism assets that Malaysia has to offer."

Driving Tangible Business: Match & Meet and Exhibition Showcase

Beyond the stage discussions, #HMC2026 served as a live marketplace. A major highlight of the event was the dedicated Match & Meet networking sessions, which targeted business matchmaking between pre-qualified delegates, owners, and developers from various sectors.

In tandem, the bustling Exhibition Showcase allowed the event’s 43 sponsors and partners to demonstrate cutting-edge solutions and their contribution in hospitality. Delegates engaged directly with leading innovators in technology vendor, payment system, guest-experience services, providing hotel owners and industry people with immediate resources to optimize their properties.

"Marking our inaugural participation at HMC this year, our primary objective was to engage in highly meaningful conversations with the industry stakeholders in attendance," stated Ezra Wang, Director, Travel & Hospitality APAC, Sertifi by Flywire. "We have already concluded several productive meetings with key hotel operators and owners. While today represents the crucial starting point for these dialogues, we are highly optimistic that these initial discussions will soon translate into concrete business decisions and long-term partnerships."

As Malaysia enters its next phase of tourism growth, #HMC2026 has successfully delivered the actionable intelligence, cross-border connections, and strategic partnerships necessary to lead the industry forward.
