New headquarters places management at the center of the capital markets and enterprise customer base as the Company executes its technology-led growth strategy

NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TEN Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: XHLD) ("TEN Holdings" or the "Company"), the technology company behind TEN, a Digital Experience Platform for creating, producing, engaging, marketing and measuring digital experiences, today announced that it has relocated its corporate headquarters to 1 Rockefeller Plaza, 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10020, effective immediately. The new address replaces the Company's prior headquarters in Langhorne, Pennsylvania.

The move follows the launch of TEN and supports the growth strategy the Company outlined in July, which includes building its technology platform and pursuing disciplined strategic acquisitions that expand its technology capabilities, recurring revenue base and market presence. New York is home to many of the investors, analysts, advisors and deal sources that matter to a growing public technology company, as well as a large share of the enterprise customers TEN is built to serve.

"TEN changes what this company is, and where we are based should reflect that," said Virgilio Torres, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TEN Holdings, Inc. "New York puts us closer to the investment community, closer to the advisors and deal flow behind our acquisition priority, and closer to the enterprise customers we build TEN for. It raises our profile as we enter this next phase of growth, and it gives us a more efficient, flexible footprint, which is consistent with the financial discipline we've committed to as we scale."

The Company's team will continue to work remotely.

What the new headquarters supports

- Proximity to the investment community. Institutional investors, analysts and the Company's investor relations advisors are concentrated in New York, making it easier for management to meet with shareholders and prospective investors in person.

- Access to capital markets and deal sources. The location puts management near the bankers, advisors and counsel who take part in financings and technology acquisitions, supporting the Company's strategic acquisition priority.

- Closeness to enterprise customers. Many of the enterprise customers and prospects TEN serves are based in the New York metro area, from financial services to life sciences.

- Visibility. A Midtown Manhattan address strengthens the Company's presence with investors and financial media as it builds TEN into a broader technology platform.

Investor inquiries should continue to be directed to the contact below.

Enliven remains on track to initiate ENABLE-2 before year-end 2026

BURLINGAME, Calif., Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Enliven Therapeutics, Inc. (Enliven or the Company) (Nasdaq: ELVN), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of small molecule therapeutics, today announced that it has reached alignment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the final design of the ENABLE-2 pivotal trial, a Phase 3 trial of relcobatinib (ELVN-001) in patients with previously treated chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

United States Adopted Names (USAN) Council has adopted relcobatinib as the nonproprietary name for ELVN-001. Relcobatinib is an investigational, potent, highly selective, potentially best-in-class small molecule kinase inhibitor designed to specifically target the BCR::ABL1 gene fusion, the oncogenic driver of CML.

"We are pleased to have reached alignment with the FDA on the design of the ENABLE-2 pivotal Phase 3 trial, providing a clear path to initiate the trial before year-end," said Helen Collins, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Enliven. "ENABLE-2 is designed to directly compare relcobatinib to the second-generation TKIs and evaluate its potential to be the best-in-class ATP-competitive inhibitor for patients with CML. We are encouraged by the enthusiasm from physicians and the broader CML community as we prepare to initiate the trial."

ENABLE-2 Phase 3 Trial Design: A 2L+ Pivotal Trial for Patients with CML

ENABLE-2 is a planned randomized 2L+ phase 3 trial expected to enroll approximately 450 adults with CML previously treated with one or more tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either relcobatinib 80 mg once daily or an investigator-selected second-generation TKI (dasatinib, nilotinib, or bosutinib). The primary endpoint is major molecular response (MMR) at Week 24, with the key secondary endpoint of MMR at Week 96.

With approximately 450 patients, the trial is designed such that an improvement in MMR rate of at least 10 percentage points over the control arm would be sufficient to demonstrate statistical superiority. We believe this difference would represent a clinically meaningful improvement over currently available second-generation TKIs.

The Company remains on track to initiate ENABLE-2 before year-end 2026.

About Enliven Therapeutics

Enliven is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of small molecule therapeutics to help people not only live longer, but live better. Enliven aims to address existing and emerging unmet needs with a precision medicine approach that improves survival and enhances overall well-being. Enliven's discovery process combines deep insights into clinically validated biological targets and differentiated chemistry to design potentially first-in-class or best-in-class therapies.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements (including within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) concerning Enliven and other matters that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations and financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of Enliven's management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, Enliven's management. Forward-looking statements generally include statements that are predictive in nature and depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and include words such as "may," "will," "should," "would," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "likely," "believe," "estimate," "project," "intend," and other similar expressions or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to: statements regarding the potential of, and plans regarding, market opportunities, and expectations regarding relcobatinib (ELVN-001); statements regarding the potential profile, activity, selectivity, safety, tolerability, efficacy, differentiated attributes, therapeutic benefit and potential best-in-class or complementary profile of relcobatinib to allosteric inhibitors; the interpretation of data from the ongoing ENABLE trial, including MMR rate, safety and tolerability data; comparisons to historical or precedent clinical trial results; the timing, content and availability of additional clinical data and presentation materials; the continued conduct, design, objectives, endpoints, dose selection and future clinical evaluation of relcobatinib, including the planned ENABLE-2 Phase 3 trial, the statistical power, sample size assumptions and expected treatment effect sizes for ENABLE-2 and the belief that such treatment benefit would be clinically meaningful, the potential timing of initiation of ENABLE-2, the potential timing and outcome of further FDA discussions and the finalization of additional Phase 3 trial design details; and statements by Enliven's Chief Medical Officer. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation the limited operating history of Enliven; the potential for interim, topline and preliminary results from Enliven's clinical trials to materially change as additional patient data become available or following more comprehensive review; the potential for results from the ongoing or any future clinical trial of relcobatinib to differ from the results of earlier trials of relcobatinib; relcobatinib failing to demonstrate sufficient safety, efficacy, tolerability, durability, differentiated attributes or therapeutic benefit in current or future clinical trials; risks associated with unexpected events during the remainder of the ENABLE trial including serious adverse events, toxicities, dose reductions, discontinuations or other undesirable side effects; delays or difficulties in recruiting, enrolling or maintaining patients in relcobatinib clinical trials; the risks of delays in completing the ongoing ENABLE trial or initiating ENABLE-2; Enliven failing to complete the ongoing ENABLE trial, to present additional data, to initiate ENABLE-2 or to advance relcobatinib through clinical development; regulatory authorities disagreeing with Enliven's clinical trial design, dose selection, endpoints or interpretation of data, or requiring additional studies or diagnostics; the risk that statistical assumptions underlying the ENABLE-2 trial design may not hold, including assumptions regarding treatment effect sizes, comparator arm performance and statistical power; lack of reliability of cross-trial comparisons because the referenced data are derived from different clinical trials at different points in time, with differences in trial design and patient populations, and results may differ in head-to-head studies; developments relating to Enliven's competitors and industry which may affect the development or potential market opportunity for relcobatinib; and the potential inability of Enliven to obtain regulatory approval for, or ultimately commercialize or license, relcobatinib or other product candidates; Enliven's limited resources; Enliven's limited experience as a company in designing and conducting clinical trials; the ability to attract, hire, and retain highly skilled executive officers and employees; the ability of Enliven to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technologies; the scope of any patent protection Enliven obtains or the loss of any of Enliven's patent protection; reliance on third parties, including medical institutions, contract manufacturing organizations, contract research organizations and strategic partners; geopolitical developments, general market or macroeconomic conditions; Enliven's ability to obtain additional capital to fund Enliven's general corporate activities and to fund Enliven's research and development; and other risks and uncertainties more fully described in Enliven's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including under the heading "Risk Factors" in Enliven's Annual and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filed with the SEC and in Enliven's future SEC filings. Except as required by applicable law, Enliven undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Three Wine & Truffle sailings will take guests across Italy and Spain aboard Silver Dawn from October through December, tracing the truffle trail from Livorno, gateway to Tuscany, to Palamos, on the edge of Catalonia's truffle country, with truffle-hunting excursions, guided vineyard tours, and onboard tastings and chef programming.

Silver Ray and Silver Spirit will each depart on round-trip Miami sailings of eight to 12 days, featuring St. Barts alongside Antigua, Anguilla, or St. Kitts.

GRAND SOUTH AMERICA 2029 VOYAGE

Silver Nova will host the Grand South America 2029 voyage, a 75-night round-trip circumnavigation of the continent departing Fort Lauderdale on January 13, 2029, and returning March 29, 2029. The voyage includes a Panama Canal transit, scenic cruising of the Antarctic Peninsula, and overnight stays in Manaus, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Callao (Lima), and Cartagena. 

Three exclusive events are planned for guests on this voyage, starting with a sunset reception in Gustavia, St. Barts, where guests will gather with champagne and local cocktails, followed by dinner and live music in a setting inspired by the atmosphere of Saint-Tropez. Guests will then watch Rio's Carnival from a reserved space at the Sambadrome, with preferred seating along the parade runway and dedicated hospitality service throughout the evening. Before returning to Fort Lauderdale, the ship will call at Cartagena for a private event at a rooftop venue overlooking the bay, featuring live music, dancers, and cultural performances.

NEW YEAR'S EVE IN SYDNEY AND EIGHT NEW PORTS ACROSS ASIA

Silver Moon will spend the season in Australia and New Zealand, covering 10 voyages between October 2028 and March 2029 and visiting 42 destinations across three countries, including new calls at Batemans Bay and Phillip Island, and a scenic cruise through Dusky Sound. New combination voyages in New Zealand – including a round-trip Melbourne itinerary – and new routes linking Australia and Indonesia expand how these itineraries can be combined. Silver Moon will also host an overnight New Year's Eve call in Sydney. 

Silver Moon and Silver Muse will together complete 26 Asia voyages between September 2028 and May 2029, calling at 62 destinations across 11 countries. This collection adds eight new ports, including Yeosu, Hitachinaka, Miyako-jima, Vigan, Muara, Sihanoukville, Makassar, and Maizuru (Kyoto), and introduces Kobe and Bali as new turnaround ports, expanding how guests can combine itineraries. Sailings are timed to Japan's cherry blossom season and Hong Kong's Lunar New Year.

AI data centers are reshaping cabling economics, with cabling spend per MW more than twice that of conventional facilities; fiber optic cables held 47.6% of the global market in 2025

LONDON, Oct. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The global Data Center Cables Market was valued at $10.65 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $27.29 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 9.87%, according to a new study published by DC Market Insights. The market has moved beyond conventional structured cabling demand, with AI clusters, hyperscale campus construction, higher network speeds and rising rack densities materially increasing the amount and value of fiber connectivity deployed inside data centers.

The study finds that cabling is becoming a more strategic element of data center infrastructure investment. AI training clusters require dense accelerator-to-accelerator connectivity, while 400G, 800G and emerging 1.6T architectures are shortening the practical reach of copper and shifting a growing share of high-bandwidth connections toward fiber. DC Market Insights estimates that an AI-oriented data hall carried about $1.07 million of cabling content per MW in 2025, compared with approximately $0.43 million per MW for a conventional data hall. AI facilities accounted for an estimated 35% of new capacity in 2025, with their share projected to reach 66% by 2035.

AI Infrastructure Is Changing Cabling Economics

AI infrastructure is creating a structural shift in both cable volumes and product mix. GPU clusters rely on high-capacity back-end fabrics that connect large numbers of accelerators, producing substantially higher fiber counts than traditional enterprise or cloud environments. In some AI rack configurations, inter-rack connectivity can exceed 3,000 fibers, driving demand for smaller-diameter, higher-density fiber systems, pre-terminated assemblies and cable management designs that preserve airflow in increasingly dense environments.

At the same time, global data center construction continues to expand. DC Market Insights models annual new IT capacity additions rising from approximately 12.0 GW in 2025 to 27.0 GW in 2035. New construction accounted for about 73.8% of data center cable spending in 2025, making capacity deployment one of the strongest underlying indicators for future cable demand. The combination of more capacity and a rising proportion of AI-optimized facilities is creating a larger addressable market even while cable designs become more compact and efficient.

Long-term procurement agreements are also becoming more important. Large hyperscalers and connectivity suppliers are increasingly securing fiber capacity years before data center campuses enter service, reducing supply uncertainty and supporting manufacturing expansion. This shift makes production capacity, vertical integration and the ability to supply standardized systems globally increasingly important competitive factors.

Fiber Optic Cables Capture 47.6% of the Market

Fiber optic cables generated an estimated $5.07 billion in 2025, representing 47.6% of the Data Center Cables Market, and are projected to reach $15.94 billion by 2035, reflecting a CAGR of 12.14%. Copper cables accounted for 31.4% of the 2025 market while power cables represented 21.0%. Fiber is expected to gain further share through 2035 due to rising bandwidth requirements, AI back-end networking and the migration toward higher Ethernet speeds.

Hyperscale data centers were the largest buyer category, generating approximately $4.95 billion and 46.5% of market demand in 2025. Colocation facilities represented 25.3%, followed by enterprise data centers at 18.4% and GPU and neocloud providers at 9.8%. GPU and neocloud operators are the fastest-growing buyer group, with cable spending projected to advance at a 12.21% CAGR through 2035.

High-speed Ethernet and GPU fabric connectivity is also emerging as one of the industry's strongest growth areas. This application accounted for approximately $2.92 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach $10.40 billion by 2035, overtaking conventional networking connectivity before the end of the decade. The shift reflects data center operators' need to move increasingly large volumes of data between accelerators, servers, storage systems and network switches with minimal latency.

North America Leads While Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets Gain Ground

North America accounted for 42.6% of global Data Center Cables Market revenue in 2025, equivalent to approximately $4.54 billion. The regional market is projected to reach about $10.75 billion by 2035. Continued hyperscale development, AI infrastructure investment and expansion of domestic fiber manufacturing support the region's leadership, although its share of the global market is expected to gradually decline as investment accelerates elsewhere.

Asia Pacific held 27.9% of global demand in 2025, with a market size of approximately $2.97 billion, and is forecast to reach $8.51 billion by 2035. The region benefits from major data center construction programs across China, India, Japan, Australia, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian markets. Asia Pacific is projected to expand at an 11.10% CAGR and gain more global market share than any other major region during the forecast period.

Europe accounted for 18.7% of the market in 2025, followed by Latin America at 5.6% and the Middle East and Africa at 5.2%. The Middle East and Africa is projected to be the fastest-growing region, advancing at an 11.45% CAGR, supported by sovereign AI programs, hyperscale investment and new colocation capacity in markets including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and major African digital hubs.

At the country level, the United States represented approximately 37.6% of global spending in 2025, making it the world's largest national market. China ranked second. India is expected to record the strongest growth among major country markets, with a projected CAGR of 14.32% through 2035, followed closely by Malaysia.

Competitive Investment Intensifies Across Fiber and Connectivity

Competition is strengthening across fiber manufacturing, structured cabling, connectors, assemblies and cable management. Companies profiled in the study include Corning Incorporated, Amphenol Corporation, Prysmian Group, Panduit Corporation, Belden, Nexans, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Furukawa Electric, Fujikura, Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable, Hengtong Group, Legrand, Leviton Manufacturing, The Siemon Company, Molex, TE Connectivity and LS Cable & System.

Industry consolidation and long-term supply agreements highlight the strategic value of data center connectivity. Amphenol completed its $10.5 billion acquisition of CommScope's Connectivity and Cable Solutions business in January 2026. In the same month, Corning and Meta announced a multiyear agreement worth up to $6 billion covering optical fiber, cable and connectivity. Prysmian signed an agreement worth up to €5.5 billion with Molex in July 2026 to supply fiber cables for data center applications while committing €1.25 billion through 2031 to expand U.S. fiber capacity.

These investments indicate that competitive advantage is increasingly tied to manufacturing scale, fiber availability, high-density product engineering and the ability to support hyperscale customers through multiyear capacity commitments. Suppliers that combine cable manufacturing with connectors, assemblies, pathway systems and installation-ready solutions are positioned to capture a larger share of spending per data center project.

Market Outlook Through 2035

DC Market Insights' base-case forecast places the global market at $27.29 billion by 2035. Under a lower-growth scenario involving slower capacity additions and a smaller AI share, the market could reach approximately $22.90 billion. A stronger investment environment, faster capacity deployment and a higher AI share could push the market to approximately $31.35 billion.

The long-term opportunity extends beyond new construction. The installed base of data centers will require periodic cabling upgrades when network architectures transition from 400G to 800G, 1.6T and subsequent generations. This replacement cycle creates an expanding refresh market alongside greenfield demand and gives suppliers exposure to both new capacity deployment and recurring infrastructure modernization.

The result is a market in which cabling is no longer treated simply as a passive layer of data center infrastructure. Network speed, rack density, power architecture, cooling constraints and AI workload design increasingly influence cable selection at the earliest stages of facility planning. Suppliers capable of supporting these requirements at hyperscale volumes are likely to capture a disproportionate share of market growth through 2035.
