The collaboration enables a scalable and cost-effective diamond traceability solution in support of transparency and trust across the supply chain HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2025 – Tracr™ Limited (“Tracr”), the world’s first fully distributed diamond blockchain platform enabling the registration of rough diamonds at source, and Sarine Technologies Limited (“Sarine”), a global leader in precision technologies across the diamond pipeline, have announced the signing of a collaboration agreement that enables each party to offer scalable, cost-effective and enhanced verification services for tracing diamonds from their source. The collaboration will enable algorithmic matching of diamonds at scale, starting from the source. Both parties will use their respective capabilities to increase process efficiency and reduce the need for duplicate processes by existing participants. Utilising Tracr’s blockchain technology, Sarine’s diamond scanning solutions, and both companies’ sophisticated diamond identification and matching algorithms, the collaboration will create an interface between Tracr’s platform and Sarine’s cloud, which will facilitate, if enabled by participants, the seamless matching of diamond data across different stages of a registered diamond’s journey. A key benefit of the arrangement will be the ability to offer objective verification of a diamond’s journey from a producer’s rough supply to a manufacturer’s polished production using verifiable diamond scanning information. Introducing a new objective verification capabilitythrough a robust algorithmic matchingprocess will help Tracr and Sarine participants benefit from enhanced provenance assurance, in turn enabling them to offer customers, diamond brands and consumers enhanced confidence in the provenance of a diamond. By enabling the option of registering their diamonds’ data, including diamond scans, to the Tracr platform using Sarine software, participating diamond businesses will be able to have their diamonds benefit from objective verification as the data is algorithmically checked against the corresponding existing diamond data. This includes diamonds from De Beers Group supply uploaded to Tracr, which currently number more than three million. With De Beers now registering single country of origin for all rough diamonds larger than one carat, the solution also has the potential to function as a customs service to facilitate the traceability of a diamond’s origins as it crosses international borders, in line with the requirements of the G7 Diamond Protocol. With the new traceability solution being based on Tracr’s and Sarine’s existing infrastructure, which is widely used in the industry, the solution is expected to have minimal impact on participants’ supply chains, supporting its ability to be scaled quickly and effectively. Furthermore, Tracr’s and Sarine’s matching processes will be conducted using data from a variety of existing diamond scanning technologies and enabling businesses to benefit from enhanced provenance assurance. This will help to reduce operational complexity and make the matching process more efficient and scalable. Wesley Tucker, CEO of Tracr, said: “We believe this collaboration will deliver a step change in traceability and provenance assurance in the diamond industry. By enabling the connection between our blockchain technology and Sarine’s advanced precision technology, we are creating a new, cost-effective and highly scalable solution that can be implemented at pace. It has been great to work with Sarine on developing a solution that is both innovative and practical, and we see huge potential for it – both for meeting rapidly evolving consumer expectations and in support of the fast-changing regulatory landscape.” David Block, CEO of Sarine Technologies, said: “We believe that this cooperation will greatly enhance the much-needed ability to trace diamonds to their source, providing the industry with greater transparency and the consumers with heightened confidence. It has been a pleasure working with the Tracr team on this initiative, and we look forward to supporting our customers in implementing these capabilities to enhance their operations.” Hashtag: #Tracr #DeBeersGroup #NaturalDiamonds http://www.debeersgroup.com/http://www.linkedin.com/company/de-beershttp://www.twitter.com/DeBeersGrouphttp://www.facebook.com/DeBeersGroupOfCompanies/http://www.instagram.com/debeersgroup The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.

BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 March 2025 – vivo is boldly integrating art, technology, and social responsibility to redefine mobile photography and inspire creators. As part of its commitment to user-inspired innovation, vivo invited seven visionary photographers from different backgrounds to explore love’s boundless forms with the vivo V50. Their breathtaking results can be seen at the vivo VLOVE Portrait Gallery at Central World Bangkok from February 27 to March 2. Inspired by the Italian word “Ancora” — once again — the vivo VLOVE Portrait Gallery invites visitors to capture their passion – take another shot, and rediscover love. vivo VLOVE Portrait Gallery in Bangkok, Thailand Video link Together with its partners VOGUE and UNESCO, vivo is sharing its love for innovation and imagery through a series of events in Thailand that invite society to experience photography’s power to share love. The events include an immersive vivo VLOVE Portrait Gallery, a portrait sharing session, and an initiative to empower young people through visual storytelling. “Imaging stands at the intersection of technology and humanity,” says Duanmu Xueying from the vivo Imaging Team. “We believe that photography is not merely a product of technology – it is a vessel for emotion.” In the hands of seven professional photographers, the newly launched vivo V50, featuring ZEISS Professional Portrait capabilities and Natural Color Calibration pushes the boundaries of artistic expression while ensuring the precise reproduction of what the human eye sees. A Stylish “Meet Your Love” Experience with VOGUE Technology meets fashion, as vivo partners with VOGUE, one of the world’s most influential fashion magazines, to create the immersive VLOVE Portrait Gallery. Here, fashion and photography enthusiasts alike can create their own stylish social media moments while experiencing profound images from seven visionary photographers from around the world who used the vivo V50 and its state-of-the-art ZEISS Professional Portrait capabilities to create works that express their vision of the theme “Meet Your Love”, immersed in a space where fashion, technology, and creativity meet. This partnership with VOGUE underscores vivo’s commitment to redefining mobile imagery and its role as a pioneer in the fusion of technology and high fashion stylish aesthetic design. vivo VLOVE Portrait Gallery Showcases Stunning Portraits by Southeast Asian Artists The VLOVE Portrait Gallery, now open, showcases captivating photographic works exploring love’s multifaceted nature through visual storytelling via the vivo V50 and its ZEISS capabilities. With perspectives from ZEISS photographers like Gabriel Santos and Urasha Jakkachaphol, global artist Jimmy Marble, and emerging local talents, it’s a curated exploration of human connection. Each photo captures fleeting expressions and untold stories, turning moments into visual poems. Acclaimed artist Jimmy Marble, known for his vibrant colors, irreverent aesthetics, and more, adds a personal touch, exploring self – love and identity. His vision, “Self – expression has always been how I show myself love,” encapsulates the gallery’s spirit, where each artist uniquely captures love’s dimensions. Renowned International Artist Jimmy Marble’s Portrait Artworks by vivo V50 Portraits of Love with the vivo V50 As part of the officially opening of the vivo VLOVE Portrait Gallery, vivo hosted a special session with five of the photographers and asked them to share how they push the boundaries of imaging technology through mobile photography. They also detailed their creative process for capturing love with the ZEISS Professional Portrait capabilities of the vivo V50. “My focus is on capturing portraits that feel authentic – images that go beyond aesthetics and reveal the soul of the subject,” explained Urasha Jakkachaphol, who is from Thailand. “Whether it’s the intensity in someone’s gaze, the vulnerability in their posture, or the power of body language, my goal is to create images that make people feel something real.” The technical precision of the vivo V50 let Urasha use light, depth of field, and perspective to create her portraits expressing “The Presence of Love”. “Through intimate portraiture, this series captures the subtle beauty of connection: the tenderness of a couple’s gaze, the peace of self-reflection, and the warmth of vulnerability,” she says. “I’m passionate about natural light photography, so I need a camera that doesn’t compromise on image quality under any lighting conditions. The collaboration between vivo V50 and ZEISS allowed me to shoot spontaneously, intuitively, and authentically. Whether it’s the soft morning light or intense midday sun, it captures it all perfectly. Urasha’s favorite feature is the ZEISS Multi-Focus Portrait mode. “It creates depth and separation, with the subject sharp and the background smoothly fading out, making portraits more intimate,” she says. “Coupled with its rapid autofocus, I never miss those fleeting, vivid expressions. William Seng used the vivo V50 to capture loving moments he observed in Malaysia’s urban cityscape. “I wanted to capture selfless love, a love that asks for nothing in return, and a love for one’s passion,” he says. He noted that convenience is one of the advantages of mobile photography. “The V50 is always in my pocket and delivers amazing quality,” he says. “For me, the 50mm portrait lens on the V50 is the most powerful. Capturing instant portraits on the street is quite challenging. With the 50mm, I don’t have to get too close to the subject to capture a portrait, which is helpful. The sharpness of the portraits is impressive, and the details captured by the V50 amazed me.” Capturing the connection between the subjects in a portrait is paramount for Gabriel Santos of Spain. “If you can make that connection not only visually stunning but also authentic, then you have created a mesmerizing portrait,” he says. “vivo and ZEISS have done an outstanding job with this phone. Even in low light, it produces excellent portraits. You can slightly underexpose to create more contrast and capture more intimate moments or overexpose in darkness to reduce contrast. The phone is equipped with three primary portrait lenses: 24mm, 35mm, and 50 mm, each suitable for different shooting scenarios.” “Mobile photography is more flexible and spontaneous compared to traditional cameras,” says Aung Kyaw Tun. “It allows me to capture

Organised by the People’s Committee of Da Nang City in collaboration with Terne Holdings, the forum brought together close to 200 government leaders, global investors, and financial experts to explore the city’s transformation into a dynamic financial center and the opportunities it presents for Singapore international investors. Pictured: H.E. Nguyen Van Quang, Secretary of the Da Nang Municipal Party Committee giving his, Opening Remarks at The Da Nang Investment Forum 2025 The forum, a key highlight of Da Nang’s high-level delegation visit to Singapore, was officiated by H.E. Mr. Nguyen Van Quang, Secretary of the Da Nang Municipal Party Committee and Head of the National Assembly Delegation of Da Nang City, alongside H.E. Tran Phuoc Anh, Ambassador of Vietnam to Singapore. Ambassador Tran Phuoc Anh delivered the opening remarks, setting the stage for discussions on Da Nang’s economic development, investment-friendly policies, and its role in Vietnam’s broader financial growth strategy. Moderated by Dr. Chua Hak Bin, Co-Head of Macro Research at Maybank, the forum featured an interactive dialogue with Da Nang’s leadership, offering firsthand insights into the city’s dynamic investment climate and ambitious future. Positioning Da Nang as Vietnam’s Next Economic Powerhouse As one of Vietnam’s six centrally governed cities, Da Nang is emerging as a key regional growth hub, driven by world-class infrastructure, innovation-driven industries, and progressive economic policies. The city has identified two key drivers for future development: the Da Nang International Financial Centre and the Da Nang Free Trade Zone. Strategically positioned at the crossroads of major ASEAN economies, Da Nang plays a vital role in the economic, political, and national defense landscape of both the Central region and Vietnam. With a strong regulatory framework and significant infrastructure investments, the city aims to attract financial institutions, asset managers, and fintech firms looking to expand into the ASEAN market. “Da Nang is rapidly developing and actively embracing scientific advancements to drive its growth. As Vietnam pursues its ambition of becoming an international financial center in Southeast Asia, Da Nang plays a crucial role in realizing this vision by creating value-driven opportunities in the financial sector. shared in the welcome remarks of H.E. Tran Phuoc Anh, Ambassador of Vietnam to Singapore. “Singapore, already one of Vietnam’s largest investors, is poised to strengthen its economic ties further. With a commitment to increasing bilateral trade by 10% annually, both nations are working towards reaching a trade volume of over $31 billion, solidifying their strategic economic partnership.” Several key advantages bolster Da Nang’s investment appeal: Strategic Connectivity: With direct air links to over 15 countries, a modern international airport, and the upcoming Lien Chieu Port—Vietnam’s future global transshipment hub—Da Nang offers seamless access to regional and international markets. Thriving Innovation & high Technology Hub: The city is a leader in high-tech manufacturing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and semiconductor industries, boasting one of Vietnam’s three national high-tech parks. A World-Class Destination for Investment & Living: Recognized by Forbes as one of the world’s top beach destinations, Da Nang combines a high-quality urban environment with investor-friendly policies, making it an attractive choice for both businesses and residents. Da Nang International Financial Center (DNIFC): A Regional Financial Hub in the Making Following Politburo approval in November 2024, Da Nang is advancing plans to establish Vietnam’s first regional financial center, positioning itself as a key player in the global financial landscape. DNIFC will serve as a strategic hub for: International Trade & Green Finance – Facilitating cross-border investment, sustainable finance, and capital markets to support Vietnam’s commitment to responsible economic growth. FinTech & Digital Economy – Providing a regulatory sandbox for blockchain innovations, AI-driven financial services, and digital payments, fostering a dynamic financial technology ecosystem.

This initiative aims to position Da Nang as a premier financial gateway, attracting global investors and reinforcing its role in Vietnam’s rapidly evolving financial sector. Mr. Andy Khoo, General Director of Terne Holdings, stated, “Da Nang’s strategic location near key trade routes of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), along with its proximity to Tien Sa and Lien Chieu ports, positions it as a natural hub for trade finance. SMEs in ASEAN, one of the most underserved markets, face an annual unmet trade finance demand of $200 billion. DNIFC can bridge this gap by introducing innovative trade finance solutions and enabling seamless cross-border capital movement. Today’s event marks a significant opportunity for Da Nang to capitalise on this potential.” Da Nang Free Trade Zone (DNFTZ): A Game-Changer for Vietnam’s Trade & Logistics As Vietnam’s first pilot Free Trade Zone, DNFTZ is set to accelerate high-value exports, smart logistics, and next-generation manufacturing. The development will feature: Advanced Manufacturing & Supply Chain Hubs: Focused on semiconductors, biotech, medical devices, and renewable energy, positioning Da Nang as a key player in high-value industries.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 5 March 2025 – Global broker Octa recently released a new AI feature to its proprietary trading platform, OctaTrader. Embedded into the platform interface, the new tool is called ‘AI pattern search’ and serves to make trading analytics more precise and time-efficient. The experts at Octa explain the main use cases and scope of this new powerful tool. The issue with chart patterns Every seasoned trader understands the value of technical analysis. Chart pattern recognition is one of the key areas of knowledge that allow traders to navigate the ever-changing financial markets with confidence. Mastering chart analysis requires learning to spot various patterns and predict where the market is headed. It is essential to determine if the pattern signals bullish or bearish momentum and whether it may lead to a reversal or continuation of the current trend. Of course, learning every single pattern by heart takes a lot of time. What’s more, quickly and efficiently recognizing patterns directly from the chart can place a significant cognitive burden on traders, regardless of experience. This is especially true about those engaging in fast-paced trading styles since it leads to facing multiple important decisions throughout every minute of trading sessions. However tiresome and energy-consuming it may be to spot every single pattern every single time, this aspect of trading should not be ignored but rather approached with greater efficiency. OctaTrader: bringing AI analytics to the table To improve pattern-based chart analytics and drive consistency in trading, OctaTrader, Octa broker’s proprietary trading platform, released a new tool called ‘AI pattern recognition’. It allows traders to expand the trading experience by tapping into the power of AI. As its name suggests, the new tool scans a vast database of historical data to find the most relevant technical analysis patterns for a chosen instrument and time frame. To do that, it first automatically analyses current price dynamics and then uses machine learning algorithms to spot actionable trends. As a result, OctaTrader users effortlessly gain access to an actionable analytical pattern for the asset of choice. In a couple of clicks, the pattern can be copied to the trading chart to apply the analytical insights to trades. AI Pattern Recognition currently covers all the tradable assets available on the OctaTrader platform and is easily customisable to fit the client’s trading style. Power in unity The new AI Pattern Recognition feature is embedded in the Octa app so that users can save time switching between different web resources and platforms when searching for relevant patterns. The tool can be used in synergy with another OctaTrader’s signature feature, the analytics hub Space. The Space feed embedded in the Octa app provides expert-curated insights and educational articles that help traders assess market fluctuations and gain relevant financial knowledge. As such, Space offers human expertise, while AI Pattern Recognition brings deep machine knowledge to the table. The synergy of these two tools allows traders to spot relevant patterns—and then validate decisions by deep diving into the financial theory, if necessary. According to the Octa broker, the AI Pattern Search tool will be further improved with new machine learning models for handling support and resistance levels and candlestick patterns. These incoming updates will extend the tool’s scope and add more flexibility to OctaTrader clients’ routines. Following the latest trend of deeper penetration of AI in FinTech, OctaTrader now combines advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities with extensive expert intelligence. Using the new AI Pattern Recognition tool, OctaTrader clients can significantly ease the cognitive load of analysing the charts, making sessions more efficient and decision-making more informed. ___ Disclaimer: Trading involves risks and may not be suitable for all investors.
