HONG KONG SAR – EQS Newswire – 13 March 2025 – Sustainable development is a global goal. Energy conservation, emission reduction, and achieving zero emissions and carbon neutrality are important ways to reach this goal. Recently, Unity Group Holdings International Limited (1539.HK) hosted the International Carbon Emission Day Conference in Malaysia. At the event, Unity Group launched a structured carbon emission management plan and established a strategic partnership with Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng, a global expert in carbon emission standards and management. “We gather here as a global community to address climate change and transition from global warming to global cooling,” said Mansfield Wong, Chairman and CEO of Unity Group. Global Carbon Emission Initiative Achieves Major Progress Unity Group, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2015, is an international ESG pioneer and leader in sustainable development. The group focuses on energy-saving solutions, renewable energy, ESG digitalization, and vertical indoor agriculture. In recent years, carbon emission rights have grown in importance. Based on total volume control and trading mechanisms, companies exceeding their allocated rights must purchase additional emission rights. This Conference gathered ESG practitioners from Malaysia, Australia, Chinese Mainland, Chinese Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Chinese Taiwan. This milestone event marks significant progress in global carbon emission collaboration. At the conference, Mansfield Wong outlined the company’s phased sustainable development strategy to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. During the conference, Unity Group formally established a strategic partnership with Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng, who has been appointed as Unity Group’s Chief Researcher. Unity Group also launched a carbon emission management plan to help companies offset emissions and fund global sustainable projects. “Unity Group is the first company in the lighting industry to adopt carbon emission rights management globally,” Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng stated at the meeting. The company achieves significant energy conservation and emission reduction by promoting highly efficient energy-saving lighting fixtures. Unity Group’s ultra-high efficiency ESG lighting fixtures save 75% more energy than others on the market. It has also actively promoted these fixtures in Selangor, Malaysia. The project has been ongoing for two years and is now accelerating. The significant energy savings from these fixtures are laying the foundation for Unity Group to gain substantial carbon emission rights benefits. In recent years, global carbon emission rights trading volume has been increasing. With ongoing improvements in lighting energy efficiency, Unity Group is expected to generate significant income from carbon emission rights trading. At the meeting, Datuk Dr. Eric H’ng stated, “Malaysia ranks among Asia’s highest in carbon emission pricing, with prices expected to double by 2030. Businesses must act now to offset emissions, and Unity Group is leading this trend.” May Become the First Company Listed in Both China and Malaysia Unity Group was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2015 and has achieved significant development with capital market support. In recent years, the company has steadily grown and increased its influence in ESG and sustainable development. Unity Group has been planning a secondary listing in Malaysia, as previously announced. On November 20, 2024, the company disclosed it is discussing this plan with an advisor for a listing on the Malaysian Stock Exchange. Unity Group’s secondary listing in Malaysia is progressing steadily. Once completed, it will become the first company listed in both Hong Kong and Malaysia. Its listing in Malaysia will significantly boost its liquidity and attract more diverse investors, potentially enhancing the company’s valuation. This will also provide greater trading convenience for Malaysian investors, better reflecting the company’s overall value. In addition, Unity Group has long been active in the Malaysian market, including a three-year collaboration with the Selangor State Government on ESG initiatives. Its secondary listing in Malaysia will further grow the company. In fact, as early as August 2024, Group subsidiary Synergy ESCO (Malaysia), reached a strategic cooperation with Malaysia’s largest financial institution. Unity Group has gained a financing limit of 50 million ringgit (about 90 million Hong Kong dollars) from Malaysia’s largest bank to support its ESG-compliant energy efficiency projects nationwide. With continued market expansion in Malaysia and progress on its secondary listing, the company is poised for faster growth Hashtag: #UnityGroup The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

With geographical advantage and healthy profitability, Henan Pinglin Expressway delivered immediate positive profit contribution to the Company after consolidating the financial statement, which recorded an increase of RMB51 million in toll revenue and increase of RMB9 million in profit attributable to shareholders. The acquisition has provided growth momentum in Yuexiu Transport’s future profit and enhanced shareholders’ return. Moreover, the Company seized the opportunity to dispose 60% equity interests of Jinxiong Expressway by RMB190 million and realized a disposal gain of approximately RMB65 million, boosting its profit attributable to shareholders.

The GNSR Expressway R&E Project will bolster the Company’s most important revenue-generating asset, expand the scale of the Company’s asset and is expected to extend the toll operating period, consolidating the Company’s long-term profitability and enabling Yuexiu Transport to deepen its regional footprint in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. Yuexiu Transport is committed to becoming a leading transport infrastructure asset management company in China under the guidance of the “3331” development strategy, which includes improving the three platforms (listed platform, REITs platform and incubation platform), enhancing the three core abilities (investment ability, operation and maintenance and construction management ability and capital operation ability) and focusing on three directions (expressway main business, key areas and expansion of related auxiliary businesses). The Company will continue to grasp the strategic opportunity period for expressway investment and mergers and acquisitions. Gaining its foothold in Guangdong-Hong Kong- Macau Greater Bay Area and Central and Eastern China, expanding its presence in other developing areas benefiting from continued urbanisation and industrialisation going forward, making full use of the incubation platform model and exploring opportunities of investing in reconstruction and expansion of quality assets, the Group insists on strengthening and expanding its infrastructure business mainly based on toll roads.Hashtag: #YuexiuTransport The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

Visa offers seamless tap-to-ride experiences for Visa cardholders on Ho Chi Minh City Metro Line 1

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 March 2025 – Visa (NYSE: V), a global leader in digital payments, has continued its role as an Official Co-sponsor of the Inauguration Ceremony for Ho Chi Minh City Metro Line 1 (Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien). As part of this initiative, Visa has launched a “tap-to-ride” solution at ticket gates, supporting contactless payments via globally issued cards, mobile devices, and wearables. Additionally, contactless payments are now available at ticket counters, and commuters can use the HCMC Metro HURC app for in-app payments. These enhancements will streamline the commuting experience, making it faster and easier for everyone, including tourists exploring the vibrant Ho Chi Minh City. The open-loop EMV tap-to-ride system is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. Within just eleven months, Visa’s network processed two billion tap-to-ride transactions globally, reflecting a 25% year-on-year increase[1]. This growth underscores the strong consumer preference for this convenient payment method, now available to commuters on HCMC Metro Line 1. With over 830 “Tap to Ride” projects globally[2], Visa is demonstrating its dedication to transforming urban mobility with simple, convenient, and secure digital payment solutions. “Visa is committed to being an essential partner in enhancing Vietnam’s transit experience,” said Ms. Dung Dang, Visa Country Manager for Vietnam and Laos. “By introducing tap-to-ride technology on HCMC Metro Line 1, we are simplifying daily commutes, supporting Vietnam’s digital transformation, and improving passenger experiences. This initiative is in line with the government’s long-term plans to modernize urban mobility.” Globally, over 80% of Visa’s face-to-face transactions are conducted via tap-to-pay[3]. By the end of February 2025, over 76% of face-to-face transactions on Visa cards in Vietnam were contactless[4]. This shift to contactless payments will enhance travel efficiency, offering significant benefits for both operations and commuters. With its extensive global experience in seamless and secure digital payments for urban transit systems, Visa is launching the “One Tap to Every Station. Go Metro – Tap Visa” initiative. This aims to revolutionize the commuting experience and promote sustainable mobility in Vietnam, aligning with the nation’s digital transformation and urban mobility modernization goals. Visa’s commitment to providing the best way to be paid is set to transform the way people travel, making daily commutes more convenient, seamless, and secure for everyone.
