HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 August 2025 – With a rapidly increasing aging population, chronic non-communicable diseases and sub-health problems faced by middle-aged and elderly people have become even more prominent. Modern medicine has standardised our current diagnosis and treatment system, especially in the intervention of acute symptoms and pathological control. However, in the face of health needs such as long-term management of chronic diseases and conditioning of sub-health problems, which require a “holistic view” and “continuous repair”, its limitations in areas such as healthcare, functional restoration, and improvement of quality of life are gradually becoming apparent. In the context of improving the lifestyle and functional regulation of middle-aged and elderly people, we seek to help improve their health in a gentle and sustainable manner by exploring new health protection paths outside of traditional medicine. ​​“The 9th Young Scholars Conference on Ion Channels and Receptors & Forum on Biophysics and Innovative Drug Discovery” was held in June 2025. As a leading energy healthcare technology company, “eefit” became the focus of the event, revealing to the world the innovative application of their patented far infrared technology in healthcare, with results verified by internationally renowned academics and authorities. The benefit provides systematic health management solutions for the middle-aged and elderly population through non-invasive and non-drug methods, creating a new chapter in health technology. Recognized by Nobel Laureate and Renowned Scientists, eefit Far Infrared Technology is Acclaimed by International Authorities Organized by the Macau University of Science and Technology (M.U.S.T.), this forum brought together experts in various disciplines from around the world, including neuroscientists and biophysicists. In attendance was 1991 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine Dr. Erwin Neher, who attended the event as the keynote speaker. It’s worth noting that eefit has been collaborating closely with “Dr. Neher’s Biophysics Laboratory for Innovative Drug Discovery” since 2021, promoting transformative scientific research in far infrared technology. On a similar note, Prof. Vincent Wong of M.U.S.T. (among the top 2% of scientists in the world) introduced the significant effects of eefit’s patented far infrared technology in improving intestinal microecology, regulating cell immunity, and alleviating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. His team’s latest research has confirmed that this technology not only can enhance cerebral blood flow and reduce brain damage in patients with ischemic stroke but can also provide an innovative solution for rehabilitation treatment. Far Infrared Technology is Changing Our Lives eefit Has Constructed an All-encompassing “Prevention + Maintenance + Restoration” Health Management System The middle-aged and elderly population is plagued by health issues, such as chronic pain, sleep disorders, immune system disorders, and Alzheimer’s disease. eefit provides comprehensive solutions to address these issues through developing innovative healthcare products. At the forum, experts gathered at the booth set up by eefit to experience firsthand how technology redefines the health management of the elderly. Case 1: Disease prevention – protecting brain health at the source eefit’s patented technology reduces the risk of Alzheimer’s disease by reducing Aβ deposits and abnormal tau proteins. The latest research paper presented on-site showed that eefit far infrared energy can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, intervene in pathological protein aggregation, and build a strong line of defense for brain health. Case 2: Brain healthcare – improving stroke sequelae and neurological function For patients suffering from sequelae of stroke, eefit Luminous Energy Helmet and Meridian Pro Illuminator can promote microcirculation in the head and improve cerebral blood flow. The research conducted by the research team of Prof. Vincent Wong has confirmed that this technology can reduce stroke sequelae symptoms and dizziness. An expert user at the forum excitedly shared his feedback, “I am a loyal fan of eefit products. I wear the Luminous Energy Helmet for 20 minutes daily. After one month, I find my memory improved, and I don’t get dizzy as often.” Case 3: Chronic pain management – quick relief for joint and muscle pain In the field of pain management, products like EEFit Lite can accurately irradiate pain points and inhibit the release of inflammatory factors. Experts verified that “10 minutes of irradiation can reduce knee pain on a pain scale from 6 to 3, with effects lasting for more than 2 hours”. Case 4: Sleep quality – natural relief for nervous system eefit far infrared technology can relieve insomnia by regulating nervous system functions. eefit data shows that after daily use for 2 weeks, over 80% of users experienced a 50% reduction in the time they took to fall asleep, as well as an increased duration of deep sleep. Case 5: Digestive system repair – two-way regulation of intestinal microecology eefit far infrared energy achieves two-way regulation of gut microbiota in an innovative manner by inhibiting the excessive proliferation of pathogens while promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria and regulating the imbalance of intestinal microecology. Experimental data shows that after two weeks of intervention, the alpha diversity of gut microbiota (Chao1 index) increased by 30%, and abdominal bloating decreased by 45%. Nobel Laureate Dr. Neher and Prof. Vincent Wong expressed that the eefit technology system demonstrates innovation and practicality at the international forefront, establishing a new model for the health management of the elderly. Integrating Industry, Academia and Research: Innovative Paths Leading Industry Development eefit first introduced far infrared technology into health management through independent technology R&D and commercialization execution, which then attracted collaboration with reputable scientific research institutions. This closed-loop ecosystem of “Demand-Driven Innovation” demonstrates benefit’s ability to focus on the core benefits of products by starting from users’ pain points then feeding back technological improvements into scientific research. At the forum banquet, eefit’s Founder and Chairman Prof. Nick Wang remarked, “We are honoured, looking back on our eight-year partnership between eefit and the research laboratory. This period of collaboration with deep integration of industry, academia and research has not only pioneered groundbreaking research but also produced fruitful scientific and technological achievements.” He emphasized that eefit has always been “user demand-oriented” at its core, by first verifying the value of technology through market research

HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 August 2025 – F88 Investment Joint Stock Company (F88) on August 8 officially listed over 8.26 million shares for trading on the UPCoM platform. Over 8.26 million shares of F88 was officiallt listed on the UPCoM platform. Photo courtesy of F88 With a reference price of VNĐ634,900 (US$24) per share on its first trading day, F88 now holds the highest market price among all listed companies across Vietnam’s three stock exchanges, marking the beginning of a new chapter in its journey to standardise corporate governance and tap into the domestic capital market. This milestone marks the first time a pawnbroking enterprise in Viet Nam has been publicly listed and traded on the stock exchange. Beyond a significant step toward transparency, F88’s listing sets a new operational benchmark for the legal pawn sector in particular and the alternative finance industry in general – a sector that has long faced negative perceptions and limited access to capital. On May 6, 2025, F88 was officially recognised by the State Securities Commission as a public company and deemed eligible to register for share trading in accordance with legal regulations. At the time of listing, F88’s charter capital stood at over VNĐ82.6 billion, corresponding to more than 8.26 million outstanding shares. The company has also received approval to issue bonus shares from share premium reserves at a ratio of 1,200 per cent, which will increase its charter capital to over VNĐ1.1 trillion. This is an internal capital restructuring activity that does not dilute shareholder equity and is aimed at preparing for the company’s next phase of growth, aligned with its operational scale. “The official listing on UPCoM is not only a development milestone for F88 but also a pioneering move, introducing a new standard of transparency for Vietnam’s alternative finance industry. This is a crucial step in enhancing our ability to access public capital, serving our long-term business goals. F88 clearly understands that entering the capital market is not just about transparency and regulatory oversight – it also serves as a financial catalyst to help us scale, upgrade operations, and get closer to our future target of listing on HoSE,” said Phung Anh Tuan, Chairman of the Board of Directors at F88. According to a special report published by FiinGroup in June 2025, Vietnam’s pawnbroking market had an estimated outstanding loan balance of VNĐ200 trillion (approximately $8 billion) in 2024. Of this amount, “new-generation” pawn enterprises like F88 currently hold a market share of about 3.2%, indicating substantial room for future growth. Another notable trend is that while the number of traditional pawnshops is declining, new-generation pawn outlets – which integrate technology, centralised management and diverse services – are expanding rapidly. To date, F88 operates 888 stores across 34 provinces and cities, accounting for around 70 per cent of all new-generation pawn outlets in Vietnam. The company aims to reach 1,000 transaction points by 2026 and expand to 2,000 stores by 2030. In addition to secured lending, F88 is also accelerating its growth in microinsurance and agent banking services. Through its strategic partnership with Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MBBank), F88 is gradually developing a model of “modern financial transaction offices” that provide essential services such as customer identification, deposits/withdrawals, fund transfers, loan referrals, and collection/payment services. F88 is also rapidly pushing digital transformation through its MyF88 platform – a mobile application that recorded over 105,000 online loan customers just two months after launch. By 2026, the company targets to have 80 per cent of transactions conducted digitally, aiming to optimise operational efficiency and enhance customer experience. For 2025, F88 has set a revenue growth target of 33 per cent. In the first half of the year, the company recorded VNĐ1.74 trillion in revenue, up 30 per cent year-on-year. Of this amount, revenue from lending activities reached VNĐ1.5 trillion, growing 28 per cent. Insurance and other services generated VNĐ199.6 billion and VNĐ6 billion, respectively, increasing by 45 and 360 per cent thanks to broader product coverage and effective cross-selling. Total disbursement value reached VNĐ7.1 trillion, up 36 per cent over the same period, while the net write-off ratio (net charge-offs to average outstanding loans) remained at 2.35 per cent. These results brought the company VNĐ321 billion in pre-tax profit – more than triple the figure from the same period last year. Backed by a sustainable operating platform, transparent financials, and a clear digitalization strategy, F88 is steadily strengthening its governance capabilities, refining capital structure, and standardising operations to meet public company standards. The official UPCoM listing represents not only a transformation in capital structure but also reaffirms F88’s pioneering role in shaping a transparent, regulated, and legally compliant alternative finance market where the public can access trustworthy and civilised financial services.
