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.

About F88: Founded in 2013, F88 is a pioneering enterprise in Vietnam’s alternative finance sector, serving customer segments underserved by traditional banks. With a mission to expand access to legal, transparent, and convenient financial services, F88 has steadily developed a modern financial agency model that integrates three core services: secured lending, microinsurance, and basic banking services. Over its development journey, F88 has successfully raised capital from reputable institutional investors such as Mekong Capital, Vietnam Oman Investment, and Granite Oak – enabling the company to grow in both capital and operational scale. As of 2025, F88 operates a network of 888 transaction points in 34 provinces and cities, making it the largest distribution network in Vietnam’s alternative finance sector. F88 has earned recognition through a series of prestigious domestic and international awards, including being named a top workplace in Asia by Great Place to Work. It is also the first and only alternative finance company in Viet Nam to receive the Gold-level Client Protection Certificate (CPC) – the world’s first standard for protecting financial service users. In April 2025, FiinRatings announced it had upgraded F88’s credit rating outlook from “Stable” to “Positive,”

11 new signings across high-demand travel markets in Asia and the Middle East bring portfolio to about 50 properties in sought-after resort destinations globally New additions span multiple brands across Phuket (Thailand); Bali and Labuan Bajo (Indonesia); Phu Quoc, Nha Trang, Cam Ranh and Sam Son (Vietnam); Gangneung (South Korea); and Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah (UAE) SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 August 2025 – The Ascott Limited (Ascott), the wholly owned lodging business unit of CapitaLand Investment (CLI), is scaling its global resort footprint through asset-light expansion. Riding on growing demand for experiential stays, Ascott now has around 50 properties in resort destinations in operation and under development worldwide, supported by 11 new signings in the past 10 months secured via management and franchise agreements. These represent about 5% of its global portfolio of over 1,000 properties, reflecting a strategic focus on the fast-growing leisure segment[1]. This momentum is driven by Ascott’s multi-typology brand strategy, which adapts well-loved brands such as Ascott, Citadines, lyf, Oakwood, Somerset, The Crest Collection and The Unlimited Collection for resort settings. This approach enables efficient scaling in high-potential destinations while fulfilling lifestyle aspirations of its growing Ascott Star Rewards membership and delivering brand-led solutions that drive long-term value for property owners. Capitalising on growing demand for experiential stays, Ascott now has around 50 properties in resort destinations in operation and under development worldwide, supported by 12 new signings in the past 10 months secured via management and franchise agreements. Among these is the upcoming Ascott Abov Patong Phuket Resort (pictured), which marks Ascott’s debut in Phuket. Just 150 metres from the iconic Patong Beach, it features 254 rooms, comprehensive leisure facilities and event venues. Also part of the development is a 227-unit branded residence, Residences at Ascott Abov Patong Phuket. Recent signings across Asia and the Middle East reflect Ascott’s strategic expansion into key leisure hotspots. These include iconic beach destinations such as Patong Beach in Phuket and Jimbaran Beach in Bali. Ascott is also entering Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah’s premier man-made coral island known for its pristine beaches. In Vietnam, Ascott is growing its presence in Phu Quoc, voted the world’s second-best island[2], and Nha Trang, an established coastal city often dubbed the “Riviera of the South China Sea”. The company is also capitalising on emerging opportunities in fast-growing destinations such as Cam Ranh, an up-and-coming aviation and leisure hub, and Sam Son, a rising domestic and regional tourism hotspot. Additionally, Ascott is entering Labuan Bajo, Indonesia — the gateway to Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In South Korea, it is tapping demand in Gangneung, the leading east coast destination and host of the 2018 Winter Olympics. Ascott’s push into resort destinations capitalises on robust industry tailwinds. Global leisure travel spend is projected to triple to US$15 trillion by 2040, fuelled by increasing demand from the burgeoning middle class in emerging markets such as China, India and Saudi Arabia, the rise of experience-led younger travellers, and surging domestic and regional tourism1. Notably, over 70% of travellers from emerging markets now combine business and leisure trips, highlighting the growing importance of bleisure travel1. Within this broader trend, the global resort segment – valued at US$300.03 billion in 2023 – is forecast to reach US$945.38 billion by 2030, growing at 18.2% CAGR, driven by rising disposable incomes, increased international travel, and preference for destination-led, experience-rich stays [3]. Ms Serena Lim, Chief Growth Officer, Ascott, said: “As leisure travel continues to outpace global tourism growth[4], we are seeing strong momentum from property owners eager to grow with us in the resort space. Owners are drawn to our flex-hybrid model, which optimises returns and mitigates risk in dynamic leisure markets by serving both short and extended stays within a single operational framework. Complemented by our multi-typology brand strategy, we align the right brand and format to each resort setting, enabling differentiated, locally attuned guest experiences while staying responsive to evolving travel trends. Backed by a loyal and expanding member base seeking elevated leisure experiences, Ascott is well-positioned to deliver long-term value through exceptional resort stays, creating results for owners, delight for guests and impact across the markets we serve.” Ms Tan Bee Leng, Chief Commercial Officer, Ascott, said: “Resorts represent a powerful extension of Ascott’s brand promise to let guests ‘Stay Your Way’, unlocking a world of leisure-led experiences that elevate our Ascott Star Rewards (ASR) programme to new heights. From sun-drenched beachfront villas and serene mountain retreats to château stays and immersive wellness escapes, each resort adds lifestyle richness to the loyalty journey, deepening member engagement and incentivising cross-destination travel. At the same time, a growing base of loyal ASR members fuels demand for these differentiated resort offerings globally — accelerating our resort expansion strategy with data-backed insights and a ready community of experience-driven travellers. Ascott’s flex-hybrid model and multi-typology brand approach allow us to scale trusted urban brands into resort destinations with local authenticity and operational excellence, creating a virtuous cycle that benefits guests, members and property owners alike.” Expanding Reach Across Leisure Hotspots Ascott is expanding into sought-after resort destinations with new property signings that deliver diverse, experiential stays. In Thailand, Ascott Abov Patong Phuket Resort will feature 254 rooms and comprehensive leisure facilities including all-day dining, a swimming pool, rooftop bar, pool bar, spa, gym, kids’ club and event spaces. Located just 150 metres from iconic Patong Beach and surrounded by tourist attractions, the resort enjoys a prime position in Thailand’s leading leisure destination, known for its strong year-round demand and diverse visitor base. Guided by the brand’s understated luxury philosophy, Ascott Abov Patong Phuket Resort will showcase its “Fine Arts Inspired by Nature” concept, blending luxury, tranquility and local artistry in perfect harmony. The project also includes Residences at Ascott Abov Patong Phuket, a 227-unit branded residence, with completion targeted for 2027. Vietnam is a key focus of Ascott’s resort portfolio expansion.

Amid a fragmented B2B customer payment risk landscape, Asia’s corporate sector is concerned about cash flow and profitability HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 11 August 2025 – The 2025 edition of the Atradius Payment Practices Barometer survey for Asia reveals a nearly even split between businesses expecting stable payment behaviour from their customers and those foreseeing a deterioration in payment risk in the coming months. The survey, conducted in the second half of Q2 2025 across China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, highlights regional resilience amid rising financial vulnerabilities driven by global trade policy uncertainty, liquidity constraints, and worsening B2B payment behavior. Late payments affect 44% of B2B credit sales, with bad debts averaging 5%—a seemingly modest figure that nonetheless significantly impacts profitability. Businesses cite customer liquidity issues, delays in customers’ payment processes, invoice disputes and supply chain disruptions as the top reasons for late payments. The survey also found that three in five Asian companies (60%) have expanded trade credit offerings but kept payment terms steady to limit exposure to payment risks while maintaining customer loyalty and encouraging sales. Furthermore, the survey shows, 54% of all B2B sales are transacted on credit with 48-day average payment terms, highlighting the central role credit plays in financing trade across Asia. Bank loans, invoice financing and internal funds have served as the other key sources of funding over the past 12 months. Looking ahead, the survey’s findings depict a region also divided on considerations such as inventory turnover and days sales outstanding (DSO) – the time taken to collect payments – but united in acknowledging and anticipating macro challenges, such as the influence of increased trade uncertainties, growing regulatory compliance burdens and the pressures to adopt sustainable practices to address environmental concerns. At the same time, projections of sales and profitability across Asia remain cautiously optimistic as indicated by companies’ plans to manage payment risk. In this scenario, balancing the dual needs of liquidity and risk management will be pivotal for success in the months ahead, the survey concludes. “The latest findings from our Payment Practices Barometer for Asia reveal critical insights into the operational challenges faced by businesses. Issues like increasing bad debts, trade policy uncertainties, compliance pressures, and sustainability initiatives are prominent. However, there is also cautious optimism as companies acknowledge these challenges and explore solutions,” stated Eric den Boogert, Managing Director of Atradius in Asia. “This includes adapting to market changes and ensuring optimal liquidity while effectively managing risk through strategies like outsourcing credit risk management to enhance traditional internal measures.” The 2025 Atradius Payment Practices Barometer for Asia report can be found here.
