Building on its strength in product innovation, the Infinix Bali Flagship Concept Store blends bold design, coffee culture and creative experiences to bring more joy, surprise and discovery into everyday lifeâmarking a tangible step towards a more distinctive, lifestyle-driven and premium technology brand.

BALI, Indonesia, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Infinix officially unveiled its first global Flagship Concept Store in Bali, Indonesia, on October 31. As the first store of this new format within parent company Transsion Holdings' brand portfolio, the opening marks a significant step in Infinix's brand evolution. Building on its foundation in technology innovation, Infinix is exploring new ways to bring technology into everyday life through design, lifestyle and creative experiences, with a focus on creating more joy, surprise and meaningful connections with global consumers.

Rooted in Infinix's "Joy Tech" philosophy, the Bali Flagship Concept Store brings together technology, lifestyle and creativity in a new retail experience. From Infinix's smartphones and connected devices to futuristic design, coffee and creative collaborations, the store reflects the brand's belief that technology should go beyond specifications and performance to bring enjoyment, spark curiosity and create meaningful value in everyday life.

Together, these elements offer a bold new approach to experiential retail in the smartphone and consumer electronics industryâbringing technology, lifestyle and creativity together to transform a traditional retail space into a destination for discovery, participation and shared experiences.

Inside the Store: Where Technology Meets Lifestyle

The experience begins even before stepping inside. With its futuristic design, reflective metallic surfaces and digital visuals, the Bali Flagship Concept Store makes a striking first impression. An eye-catching robotic-arm installation anchors the space, transforming technological imagination into a bold visual statement.

This distinctive setting brings Infinix's "1+2+X" retail concept to life: one comprehensive technology experience, two signature experience elements and an evolving range of creative activities and collaborations.

At its core, the store showcases Infinix's smartphone lineup, including the NOTE 60 and HOT 70 series and the GT 50 Pro. The experience also highlights Infinix's broader AIoT ecosystem, featuring recent standout products such as the ZCLIP 2 Pro clip-on earbuds, SPACE Max wireless headphones, and XEnergy portable power stations, giving people the opportunity to explore the brand's innovations firsthand.

Complementing this technology experience are two distinctive lifestyle elements: n_x, Infinix's locally developed coffee brand, and the signature robotic-arm installation. At n_x, a simple coffee break becomes an invitation to slow down, recharge and enjoy a laid-back moment amid a busy day. Whether catching up with friends or taking a moment for oneself, even an everyday cup of coffee can bring a little unexpected delight. Together, these elements introduce a more relaxed and imaginative side of technology into the space.

The "X" opens up further possibilities through gaming, music, sports, creative partnerships, interactive content and community-driven activities. By introducing new ideas and collaborations over time, Infinix envisions a space that continues to surprise and inspire, offering fresh experiences and new ways for people to connect with the brand.

Keeping the Experience Fresh Through Co-Creation

Beyond its distinctive retail concept, the Bali Flagship Concept Store also aims to bring creators and consumers closer to the brand. Rather than simply featuring established names or one-off partnerships, Infinix hopes to work with artists, musicians and other creative talents to develop original content and experiences. People can also take part through shared experiences, content creation and feedback, becoming active participants rather than passive audiences.

Designed to evolve beyond its opening, the store aims to introduce new collaborations, creative displays and lifestyle activities over time. This ongoing renewal can give people fresh reasons to return while allowing the space to become a source of new ideas, stories and connections between Infinix and its community.

From a Flagship Concept Store to a Living Brand Destination

Infinix's longer-term vision is for the Bali Flagship Concept Store to develop its own recognizable identity, becoming a destination people return to for its distinctive experiences and sense of communityânot just its products. Its appeal would come not only from the space itself, but also from what continues to happen there.

The Bali opening also marks the beginning of a broader retail expansion journey. Infinix plans to open five additional flagship stores across Indonesia this year, while exploring similar concept-led retail experiences in other markets. Rather than replicating the Bali format, future locations will be adapted to local cultures, consumer preferences and lifestyles, allowing Joy Tech to take different forms in different communities.

For Infinix, the Bali Flagship Concept Store represents a new direction in brand building: keeping product innovation at its core while giving people more reasons to connect with the brand beyond a purchase. By extending Joy Tech into design, everyday lifestyle experiences and creative collaborations, Infinix is taking a concrete step towards a more distinctive, lifestyle-driven and premium brand identity.

About Infinix

Established in 2013, Infinix is an innovation-driven brand dedicated to delivering cutting-edge technology, bold design, and outstanding performance. The brand provides smart, enjoyable mobile experiences that enhance everyday life. Beyond smartphones, Infinix has expanded its portfolio to include TWS earbuds, smartwatches, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, and more â building a comprehensive ecosystem of smart devices.

1B views since June: Coda and TikTok Gaming turn content into commerce

Partnership gives publishers a new route to reach consumers through TikTok's creators

SINGAPORE, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Coda, a global leader in digital content monetization and distribution, is working with TikTok Gaming to create a new route from content discovery to purchase for consumers across Southeast Asia.

Through the partnership, TikTok users in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines can link directly to Codashop to purchase game top-ups, gift cards and other digital goods. Creators can feature Codashop-listed content through livestreams and short-form videos, giving publishers a new way to reach consumers in the environments where they are already discovering and engaging with games.

Since its mid-June 2026 launch, creator videos linking to Codashop have drawn 1 billion views, with click-through averaging above 5% and around 5% of clicks converting to purchases. The majority of buyers are new to Codashop, showing the potential of creator-led commerce to bring publishers new customers as well as transactions.

"Commerce is increasingly happening wherever discovery happens," said Zac Liew, Chief Commercial Officer, B2B, Coda. "TikTok gives us a new way to connect those moments. For publishers, that means reaching consumers earlier in the journey and turning engagement into purchase through a channel that is already core to how people discover games and content."

The partnership reflects a broader shift in digital commerce, as social platforms, creators and content play a growing role in how consumers decide what to buy. For Coda, that creates new opportunities to extend digital content distribution beyond traditional storefronts and connect publishers with consumers across more channels.

Codashop is one of Southeast Asia's most established destinations for digital content, recording more than 6 million transactions and 13 million site visits every month. Coda works with some of the world's leading publishers and digital businesses, including Activision, Electronic Arts and Riot Games.

Founded in Jakarta in 2011, Coda has grown from its Southeast Asian roots into a global digital content monetization and distribution business. Codashop launched in Indonesia in 2014 and has since expanded across the region and beyond.

Coda will continue to explore new commerce and distribution models with publishers and platform partners, creating more ways for consumers to discover and purchase digital content.

About Coda

Coda is a global leader in monetization, distribution, and commerce, trusted by the biggest names in gaming, entertainment, and technology, including Activision, Electronic Arts, Riot Games, Ubisoft, and Moonton. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Singapore, Coda operates with 670+ employees worldwide, with core hubs in Asia and Europe. Coda combines payments, commerce, distribution, and rewards to drive global revenue growth for brands and publishers.

Coda's products include Codapay, which provides access to 400+ payment methods across 80+ markets through a single API integration; Coda Webstore, which powers fully customized direct-to-consumer storefronts; Coda Consumer Platforms, including Codashop, Recharge.com, and Startselect.com; Coda Distribution, which extends reach through a network of commerce partners; and Giftcloud, a UK-based rewards business serving enterprise customers across Europe.

Coda is backed by Apis Partners, Insight Partners, Smash Capital, and GIC, and has been named an APAC High Growth Company (2023) by Financial Times, one of Granite Asia's NextGenTech 30 (2024), a payments leader on Fortune's Fintech Innovation Asia list (2024), and listed among The Straits Times Fastest Growing Fintechs (2024).

APPLOVIN CORPORATION CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT - COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY:

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material facts about the company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the generative AI video creative feature for the company's AppLovin Ads platform was subject to significant development delays, making its release on AppLovin's timeline unlikely; (2) AppLovin overstated the rate of its improvements to its AI models, in turn causing the benefits and reliability of its value proposition of its AI models to be unreliable; and (3) as a result of the foregoing, Defendants' statements about the company's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Why did AppLovin's Stock Drop?

On July 13, 2026, a Bank of America Securities analyst published a note stating that "AppLovin's eCommerce footprint expanded at a slower pace in June" and "[w]eekly data has not shown a clear uptick since AppLovin [Ads] opened to all eComm advertisers on 6/22, suggesting a muted GA start." Accordingly, Bank of America Securities lowered its estimate for AppLovin's annual revenue.  On this news, AppLovin's stock price dropped $64.13 per share, or 12.6%, from a closing price of $506.80 per share on July 10, 2026, to close at $442.85 per share on July 13, 2026.

Then, on August 5, 2026, AppLovin reported its financial results for the quarter and revealed, among other things, revenue below consensus estimates. AppLovin attributed the poor results, in part, to delays in the roll out of AppLovin Ads' generative AI video creation tool, which led to lower-than-expected AppLovin Ads revenue and hampered AppLovin's AI "model performance[.]" On this news, AppLovin's stock price dropped $82.13 per share, or 19.6%, from a closing price of $417.80 per share on August 5, 2026, to close at $335.67 per share on August 6, 2026.

WHAT APPLOVIN CORPORATION INVESTORS CAN DO NOW:

- File to be lead plaintiff by November 16, 2026.

- Contact KTMC for a free case evaluation. All representation is on a contingency fee basis, there is no cost to you.

- Retain counsel of choice or take no action.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS FOR APPLOVIN CORPORATION INVESTORS:

AppLovin investors may, no later than November 16, 2026, seek to be appointed as a lead plaintiff representative of the class through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP or other counsel, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in directing the litigation.  The lead plaintiff is usually the investor or small group of investors who have the largest financial interest and who are also adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors.

BEIJING, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 28, iQIYI, China's leading online entertainment platform, has begun the inaugural project at its newly opened AI Film Studio with the filming of internet feature film "Cop in Trouble". Located at the iQIYI Creative Center Shanghai, the AI Film Studio expands upon iQIYI's AI ecosystem integrating live-action in-studio filming with AI post-production to realize the imagination of storytellers at scale.

Fewer Constraints, Greater Creative Freedom

Combining live studio performances with AI post-production, iQIYI reduces production timeline constraints and increases production efficiency, helping filmmakers realize their intended creative vision. For example, the studio gives filmmakers greater flexibility to develop and refine visual environments after filming, while preserving the actors' original performances.

The approximately 110-square-meter studio is equipped with multi-camera shooting capabilities, synchronized high-resolution video and audio recording, digital continuity logging, and real-time footage review. From the set, on-set footage syncs automatically to NadouPro, iQIYI's AI-powered film & TV production platform. This seamless integration gives filmmakers immediate access to nearly 30 AI models, including Seedance 2.5 and Kling 4.0, as well as hundreds of production-focused AI agents and skills to transform live-action footage by generating new visual elements.

"An actor's performance is the core of any film or series," said Liang ZHU, iQIYI Vice President and Head of Intelligent Production. "The AI studio lets directors preserve that performance while adjusting sets, lighting and costumes, makeup, and props more flexibly, opening up greater creative space for filmmakers and creative professionals alike."

Bringing the story of "Cop in Trouble" to Life

The production of the film "Cop in Trouble" puts the new capabilities to practice. "Cop in Trouble" follows Jian ZHANG, a low-ranking constable whose fame, riches and admiration begin to crack as his web of lies to take down a notorious outlaw begins to unravel.

"Cop in Trouble" demonstrates how iQIYI's AI Film Studio combines live-action performances with AI-generated environments and visual details. On set, filmmakers capture nuanced interactions between actors, from intimate conversations to action sequences requiring precise coordination between performers and camera movement.

These live-action recordings provide rich input and key references for the AI generation process via NadouPro, particularly in terms of character appearance, performance, composition, lighting, and spatial relationships.

With the production of "Cop in Trouble" underway, the AI Film Studio marks another important step in the expansion of iQIYI's production capabilities â from traditional on-location and green-screen work to virtual production and AI-integrated filmmaking. The new facility continues the success of iQIYI's Hengdian virtual studio, which delivered production efficiency gains of over 30% to unlock a new era of high-quality, cinematic storytelling at scale.

The new AI Film Studio opens up new possibilities for emerging directors and resource-constrained teams, particularly in bringing imaginative worlds to life across all genres.

With more than 3,400 preregistrations ahead of its planned 2027 launch, the marketplace is exploring school partnerships as a way to support communities while building a potentially lower-cost customer acquisition model.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Los Angeles-based One Stop Swap, Inc., a peer-to-peer marketplace preparing for a 2027 launch, is exploring a community-based growth strategy that could help schools raise money while introducing hundreds of families to its buying, selling and swapping platform.

The idea originated in conversations between Co-Founder Stephen Bikoff and his wife, a first-grade teacher. Their discussions about traditional school fundraising sparked a simple question: What if families could support their schools by selling things they already own instead of being asked to buy more?

"Talking with my wife about school fundraising made me realize how much value families have sitting unused in their homes," said Bikoff. "Why not explore a way to turn those items into money for schools while introducing families to something they can continue using long after the fundraiser ends?"

One School. Hundreds of Potential Members.

Under the proposed program, schools and parent organizations could invite families, educators, alumni and neighbors to participate in online resale campaigns, with sellers choosing to donate a portion of their proceeds.

For One Stop Swap, the opportunity extends beyond fundraising. A single school partnership could introduce hundreds of households to the marketplace, potentially generating new members, merchandise listings, transactions and referrals.

Rather than relying exclusively on paid advertising, the company wants to test whether trusted community relationships can provide a more cost-effective, repeatable way to attract and retain members.

Potential pilot programs would measure customer acquisition costs, registrations, listings, completed transactions, donations and repeat activity. If successful, the model could expand to youth sports leagues, nonprofit organizations and other community groups.

"We want to build a company where doing something good for a community also makes good business sense," Bikoff added. "If we can help schools raise money while building lasting relationships with new members, that's worth exploring."

Early Interest Ahead of Launch

One Stop Swap reports more than 3,400 preregistrations ahead of its planned 2027 launch.

The company is limiting its Founding Member program to the first 5,000 eligible participants, who will receive six months without buyer or seller platform fees starting at launch, subject to program terms.

Following the introductory period, the planned standard marketplace fee structure is 3% for buyers and 3% for sellers.

The early registration program is intended to help establish an initial community of buyers and sellers before the marketplace opens.

Building Beyond Traditional Resale

One Stop Swap is developing a single platform for buying, selling and direct item-for-item swapping of pre-owned goods.

The company's longer-term roadmap includes plans to introduce live shopping after its second year of operation, creating more interactive ways for members to discover merchandise and connect with one another.

Together, these initiatives reflect a broader strategy focused on attracting members, expanding available inventory, encouraging repeat transactions and building long-term engagement.

The school fundraising concept remains under evaluation. No school partners, pilot dates or fundraising terms have been finalized, and the company has not yet validated the proposed program's customer acquisition economics.

About One Stop Swap

One Stop Swap, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based technology company developing a U.S. peer-to-peer marketplace that combines buying, selling and direct swapping of pre-owned goods. The company is led by CEO Eric Jepsky, a technology executive with more than 25 years of experience spanning eBay, PayPal and other leading technology companies. As Co-Founder and COO of Beem, Jepsky helped grow the fintech platform to more than five million downloads. One Stop Swap is focused on affordability, community participation and new approaches to secondhand commerce.

Columbus family says they found a needle in son’s Halloween candy

COLUMBUS, Wis. (WMTV) - A family who said they went trick-or-treating in Columbus Saturday night say they found a needle in a Snickers bar after they got home.

The Lanzhammer family said they tested all of their son’s treats with a magnet when they returned home. They say one of the treats stuck to the magnet.

The family said they opened the candy to inspect it and found a needle inside the Snickers bar. They said they reported it to police.

WMTV reached out to the Columbus Police Department, which confirmed that they have received the report. They said they have not received any other reports of items found inside candy.

Police said people should always inspect any candy that comes from people they do not know and dispose of it properly if it has been tampered with.

Midterms: Hohe Bereitschaft in Deutschland lebender US-Bürger zur Stimmabgabe

Vizevorsitzender von Democrats Abroad: "Die Demokratie in den USA lebt"

Osnabrück (ots)

Vor den anstehenden US-Zwischenwahlen zeichnet sich unter den in Deutschland lebenden US-Amerikanern eine ungewöhnlich hohe Wahlbeteiligung ab. "Wir spüren deutlich mehr Bereitschaft zur Beteiligung als bei der letzten Zwischenwahl", sagte der stellvertretende Vorsitzende der Auslandsorganisation Democrats Abroad Germany, Matthew LeMieux, im Gespräch mit der "Neuen Osnabrücker Zeitung" (noz). Das offizielle Länderkomittee der US-Demokraten motiviert in Deutschland lebende US-Bürger, sich als Wähler registrieren zu lassen und ihre Stimme per Briefwahl abzugeben.

Die Stimmabgabe der im Ausland lebenden Amerikaner könne in besonders umkämpften Bundesstaaten einen entscheidenden Unterschied machen, sagte LeMieux weiter. Das habe die Vergangenheit gezeigt. Normalerweise sei die Motivation zur bürokratisch aufwendigen Briefwahl aus dem Ausland bei Präsidentschaftswahlen größer als bei Zwischenwahlen. "Das ist in diesem Jahr anders. Die Demokratie in den USA lebt", sagte LeMieux gegenüber noz.

In Deutschland leben Schätzungen zufolge rund 150.000 wahlberechtigte US-Bürger.

Orthocell Achieves Strongest Month of U.S. Remplir⢠Sales Since Launch

- Remplir⢠is a collagen nerve wrap designed to support the repair and protection of peripheral nerves. Designed and manufactured by Orthocell Ltd in Australia, the FDA-cleared device is emerging as a category leader in key international markets.

- Sales of 92 Remplir⢠units in October 2026 generated AU$279,000 in revenue, representing an 84% uplift on average monthly sales of 50 units during Q1 FY27.

- The groundwork laid to launch Remplir in the U.S. is now translating into tangible revenue as Orthocell's commercial strategy gains traction.

- The result reflects growing surgeon adoption, increasing repeat use, a broader base of actively selling distributor representatives and expanded hospital access across key U.S. markets.

- October's performance provides encouraging evidence of strengthening U.S. commercial momentum and supports the outlook for continued Remplir revenue growth.

PERTH, Australia, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Orthocell Limited (ASX: OCC) is pleased to provide an update on U.S. commercial performance for its nerve repair product, Remplirâ¢, following the completion of October 2026 trading. The update is being provided ahead of the Company's Annual General Meeting on 6 November 2026, with standard quarterly reporting to continue thereafter.

Orthocell achieved U.S. sales of 92 Remplir units in October, generating AU$279,000 in revenue and representing an 84% uplift on the average monthly sales of 50 units during Q1 FY27.

This represents the strongest month of U.S. sales since launch and reflects growing surgeon adoption, increasing repeat utilisation, an expanding network of actively selling distributor representatives and broader hospital access across key U.S. markets. These results demonstrate progress in converting expanded market access into increased product utilisation and revenue.

Orthocell CEO and MD, Paul Anderson, said: "October represents an important milestone in Orthocell's U.S. commercialisation, with the groundwork laid over the past 12 months now translating into tangible revenue.

"The improvement in key commercial indicators demonstrates that Remplir is gaining traction in the U.S. market. While establishing a new medical technology in a large market takes time and sustained effort, our focus remains on accelerating surgeon adoption, expanding hospital access and increasing product utilisation."

Commercial Growth Accelerating

Orthocell has consistently communicated that commercialisation of innovative medical technologies follows a progressive adoption pathway as surgeons gain familiarity with new treatment options and hospital access expands through Value Assessment Committee (VAC) approvals.

October's performance represents a significant uplift in U.S. sales, reflecting progress in converting expanding market access into commercial utilisation. This U.S. progress, combined with regulatory approvals across seven international jurisdictions and established manufacturing capability, provides a foundation for continued commercial growth.

Orthocell will continue to focus on expanding surgeon adoption, strengthening its active distributor network and growing Remplir utilisation across approved markets to support sustainable revenue growth.

Orthocell Chairman, John Van Der Wielen, commented: "The Board is encouraged by the October sales result and the progress achieved in U.S. commercialisation. Orthocell has invested in the commercial infrastructure required to support Remplir's expansion and is continuing to expand its manufacturing capacity in anticipation of increased demand.

"The Board remains confident in the product's significant U.S. market potential and the Company's strategy to translate growing market adoption into long-term commercial success."

FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem (FFR) CEO YT Jia Shares Weekly Investor Update: Recaps FFR's Listing Closing and First Investor Day in New York; FFR Sold and Shipped 351 Robot Devices in October, Setting Another Monthly Record

- FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. ("FFR") (NASDAQ: FFR), has officially listed on the U.S. stock market as the first pure-play Four-Core Full-Stack AI humanoid and bionic robotics company.

- FFR sold and shipped 351 devices in October, setting another monthly record. Since the Company began sales and deliveries at the end of February, cumulative sales and shipments have reached 1,168 units, topping 1,000 for the first time, and continuing to deliver at a positive gross margin.

- FFR and FFAI's New York regional operations are now up and running and are now officially recruiting business partners. The first phase covers New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, southwestern Connecticut, and eastern Pennsylvania.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- FF EAI Robotics Ecosystem Inc. (NASDAQ: FFR) ("FFR" or the "Company"), a California-based Embodied AI (EAI) robotics ecosystem company, today shared a weekly business update from YT Jia, Founder and Global CEO of FFR and FF.

YT: Welcome to Weekly Report 79. Jerry and I are recording this week's report right outside the FFR/FFAI New York and Northeast Regional Office. This is also my first report since becoming CEO of FFR. FFR has officially listed on the U.S. stock market as the first pure-play Four-Core Full-Stack AI humanoid and bionic robotics company.

For me and for the whole team, this is a fresh start. It also brings greater responsibility, mission, and opportunity. The CEO Weekly Report has been a key driver of change at the company for more than a year, and we will keep publishing it every single week. We want to make it a catalyst for the growth of the Physical AI industry and a platform for industry exchange.

Our first piece of good news this week is our October sales results. FFR sold and shipped 351 devices in October, setting another monthly record. Since we began sales and deliveries at the end of February, cumulative sales and shipments have reached 1,168 units, topping 1,000 for the first time, and we continue to deliver at a positive unit gross margin. As the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and bionic robots, FFR is turning its first-mover advantage into a competitive lead, and the strengths of our Four-Core Full-Stack AI products and technology are continuing to translate into sales.

Selling more than 350 units in October, and passing 1,000 cumulatively, matters for four reasons.

1. It strengthens the foundation for our full-year guidance. October's growth was in line with expectations. We currently expect average monthly sales and shipments of more than 400 units in both November and December, which gives us greater confidence in reaching our full-year guidance of approximately 2,000 devices sold and shipped by the acquired robotics business, measured on a standalone basis.

2. Commercialization of our four industry ecosystems is accelerating, with Education leading the way. The Education ecosystem is expanding quickly from Los Angeles into the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Regional replication is already showing results and lays the groundwork for scaling across the U.S. The Security and Inspection ecosystem has entered the proof-of-concept stage. In Commercial and Services, we are working with customers to refine practical use cases and validate them in real scenarios. In Industrial and Logistics, development continues, building the product and technology capabilities for future volume.

3. It shows that the inflection point for the Physical AI industry is arriving faster.

4. The evolution flywheel of the Four-Core Full-Stack AI ecosystem is beginning to take shape.

The second major development is that the FFR and FFAI's New York regional operations are now up and running, and we've officially begun recruiting business partners. The first phase covers New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, southwestern Connecticut, and eastern Pennsylvania, with three priorities:

1. Around the four industry ecosystems, we are launching regional customer development, channel building, and ecosystem partnerships, step by step building a closed-loop regional business that spans product sales, solution deployment, and operating services. We will also speed up RoboShare's rollout on the East Coast, to help it grow faster into the robot-sharing platform with the largest fleet and widest variety of robots in North America.

2. We will strengthen investor relations and communicate more directly with the capital markets, continuing to share FFR's strategy, business progress, and path to value creation, and listening to our stockholders.

3. We will draw on New York's and the East Coast's rich government-affairs and public-institution resources to deepen engagement with relevant organizations and create the conditions for FFR to expand and scale faster.

Last week, FFR's listing closing and first Investor Day were held successfully in New York. Not only did FFR capture Wall Street's attention, but our robots also turned heads all over New York. On the streets of Manhattan, in the parks, and at the event itself, they drew crowds almost immediately. Well-known U.S. media outlets such as CBS News and the New York Post covered it on location. It reinforced our belief that Physical AI is gradually entering everyday life, and that FFR is leading this transformation.

At FFAI, we will pursue our upgraded strategy of "Robotaxi Sharing Network + AI VisiCabin Operator + Physical AI Investment Holding Company." Drawing on New York's capital markets and industry resources, we will pursue investment, business incubation, and holding opportunities across the Physical AI value chain. This will also work in tandem with the Robotaxi business we are preparing in the Los Angeles area, creating coordination between the East and West Coasts.

The New York region will also begin hiring. We welcome people from across the Physical AI industry to join us in driving innovation and growing the ecosystem.

New York has given us more than FFR's successful listing. It has opened a new chapter. Our goal is to become No. 1 in Kâ12 robotics education in the U.S. Our next goals are to become No. 1 in robotics education nationwide, achieve a top three companies in the Physical AI robotics industry overall, and become one of the most valuable companies of the Physical AI era.

Jerry: I'm really happy that we've completed our listing here in New York, and that our business is now up and running in the New York region too. What I'm really, really looking forward to is seeing FFR's stock perform well, but even more than that, seeing the business move forward fast. That will reinforce the strong position we're in today as the first U.S. company to deliver both humanoid and bionic robots, and the outlook ahead of us. Let's keep our heads down, run the business well, and keep creating value for our stockholders. Thank you!

YT: Thank you, everyone. See you next week!

Deepened strategic alliance between Thunes and UnionPay International unlocks instant payouts to UnionPay cards covering 79 major Chinese banks and up to $10,000 USD daily limits.

SINGAPORE and SHANGHAI, Nov. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Thunes, the Smart Superhighway to move money around the world, today announced a deepening of its strategic alliance with UnionPay International (UPI), transforming cross-border money movement into China's mainland with bank-grade security and expansive operational scale.

Through this collaboration, Thunes enables Financial Institutions, Payment Service Providers, and Money Transfer Operators to route instant cross-border consumer payouts to UnionPay cards in China's mainland. With a strategic reach that spans countries worldwide, key expansion corridors include Africa, Australia, Indonesia, New Zealand, Thailand, and the USA.

The direct connection will result in streamlined access to a massive base of UnionPay cardholders across 79 major Chinese banks, including Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), Agricultural Bank of China (ABC), Bank of China (BOC), China Construction Bank (CCB), Bank of Communications (BOCOM), China Merchants Bank (CMB).

Cross-border remittances into China's mainland have historically been constrained by low daily transaction caps, forcing senders to split larger personal transfers across multiple days or endure complex manual processing. By integrating UnionPay International's increased daily payment limit directly into its payout rails, Thunes bridges this critical market gap. Network Members can now process real-time, compliant transfers of up to $10,000 USD per recipient cardholder, empowering businesses to send larger volumes, and consumers to send substantial family support onto UnionPay cards in a single daily transaction, eliminating operational friction and settlement delays.

As an officially recognised strategic partner to UnionPay International, Thunes provides a fully compliant, bank-grade route for Pay-to-Card services into China's mainland that eliminates system outage risks, unauthorized routing, and service disruptions.

The collaboration connects Thunes' Direct Global Network to UPI International through a single API, so Thunes' Members gain immediate, high-capacity reach into China's card ecosystem without high setup costs, strict eligibility hurdles, or ongoing technical maintenance.

Chloé Mayenobe, Deputy CEO at Thunes, said: "Strengthening our strategic alignment with UnionPay International marks a major evolution in how money moves globally. By enabling high-capacity, direct-to-card payouts into China's mainland, we are breaking down legacy barriers in one of the world's most dynamic payment corridors. Unlocking these higher transaction limits supports the growth of our Members, empowering financial institutions everywhere to scale their cross-border flows into China with unmatched speed and compliance."
