ICDM: Boards Must Be Held to the Highest Standards of Rigour and Accountability, with Expectations to ‘Be More’ Visionary, Resilient and Engaged

KUALA LUMPUR, June 17, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia ("ICDM" or "the Institute") recently convened its 8th Annual General Meeting with key advancements signalling a decisive move forward in its mission to elevate corporate governance. In a bold continuation of its 2024 call for boards and directors to 'step up or step out' amidst a time of tremendous change and uncertainty, ICDM is embracing an ethos of 'Being More' by championing significant new initiatives. Among the pivotal developments highlighted at the AGM, ICDM is putting a strong emphasis on the upcoming launch of a national Professional Directors Certification Framework ("PDCF") and the execution of the leadership transition.These key steps forward underscore the Institute's unwavering commitment to tangible and measurable stewardship, especially in applying the principles of good governance across their organisations. In their 2024 reflection, ICDM encouraged corporate directors to unlearn outdated mindsets, relearn what the future demands, and embrace innovation with courage and a relentless commitment to board excellence and their continuous development. To this end, ICDM's efforts to professionalise directors and boards will be formalised via a framework that outlines clear standards and qualifications for directors and boards in the later part of 2025.Michele Kythe Lim, President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said, "The very future of an organisation depends on the precise and integral leadership of boards and directors. Therefore, they must champion governance, accountability, and performance standards with the same rigour they demand from the companies they oversee. As the national IoD, we are committed to these standards, a commitment proven by an independent Board and Director Effectiveness Evaluation (BDEE) of our own board, which reaffirmed our strengths. Our early structured succession plan further underscores our dedication to organisational growth and mission fulfilment and the Institute has put in place initiatives and achieved many milestones that have brought us to this point. I couldn't be prouder of the team and am confident that in ICDM, soon to be under Jackie's capable leadership and with the unwavering support of the board, we will continue to set the bar high.These milestones and initiatives, highlighting ICDM's robust growth, include:Community Expansion: Grew to over 1,500 individual members and 127 corporate members, 64% of which represent public-listed companies (PLCs) with the remaining 36% from the private and public sectors.Programme Delivery & Training: Delivered over 500 programmes and trained more than 30,000 directors, with increasing participation in development programmes like Aspiring Directors Immersion Programme (ADIP) and Leading for Impact (LIP).Revenue Growth (2024 vs. 2023):Overall Revenue: Increased by 53%.Leading for Impact (LIP) Programme Revenue: Increased by 172%.Membership and Director Sourcing Revenue: Increased by 52%.Board Remuneration Reviews Revenue: Increased by 56%.Bespoke Programmes Revenue: Increased by 24%.Aspiring Directors Immersion Programme (ADIP) Revenue: Increased by 211%.Directors Registry: Features 1,264 pre-screened, board-ready candidates.Female Representation in Registry: Rose to 38% in 2024, a significant increase from 33% in 2023.ICDM will launch the PDCF later this year - a structured, competency-based pathway for directors and for the industry and companies, globally aligned and with a benchmarked baseline qualification. This is in line with the roadmap set out by the Securities Commission Malaysia towards achieving a resilient and high-performing capital market. This national set of standards aims to significantly accelerate the growth of a diverse and qualified talent pool of directors across both public and private sectors and government-linked boards to help companies achieve optimal board composition from the start.Jackie Mah, the current Executive Vice President and succeeding President and CEO of ICDM, said, "Now more than ever, companies, boards and directors are pressing for qualified leaders and peers who uphold uncompromising standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. Just as we hold employees of organisations to certain standards and evaluate them with clear key performance indicators, Boards and Directors should also have mechanisms in place to evaluate their performance and development. The PDCF is not just a certification-it is a commitment to ensuring exemplary standards and quality of leadership among directors across the public and private sectors to meet rigorous, clearly defined benchmarks. More importantly, it will strengthen board effectiveness at scale and safeguard the future success of businesses and organisations."Since its inception in 2018, ICDM has championed diversity, inclusion, and sustainability in boardrooms. They have expanded their services to include independent board and director effectiveness evaluations (BDEE), board skills matrix, and director sourcing, achieving a 69% success rate in director placements, including women and first-time directors. To further impact governance, ICDM has led regional initiatives like the ASEAN Board Trends Report and ASEAN Directors Registry, and formed strategic partnerships with IOD UK and other regional IoDs, the 30% Club Malaysia, and Climate Governance Malaysia, aiming to elevate board leadership across borders. Additionally, ICDM provides the Mandatory Accreditation Programme (MAP) and Leading for Impact (LIP) for professional development, empowering boards with essential competencies. They also offer comprehensive board advisory and consultancy services, including coaching and mentoring. ICDM engages in advocacy through its network and external stakeholders, expanding its training and advisory services to include sustainability and ESG.About the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM):The Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM) is a membership-based organisation whose mandate is to professionalise directorship in Malaysia. As the national institute of directors (IoD), ICDM is committed to providing continuous professional development - empowering boards and directors with forward-thinking mindsets, practical knowledge and essential competencies. Established by the Securities Commission Malaysia (SC) and supported by Bank Negara Malaysia, Bursa Malaysia and the Capital Market Development Fund (CMDF), ICDM's goal is to be the leading influence of excellence in governance and to build a robust corporate governance culture in Malaysia.

GA-ASI Adds Saab Airborne Early Warning Capability to MQ-9B

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) is partnering with Saab to develop Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) capability for its line of MQ-9B Remotely Piloted Aircraft, which includes the SkyGuardian® and SeaGuardian® models, the United Kingdom's Protector, and the new MQ-9B STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) model currently in development. GA-ASI plans to fly AEW on MQ-9B in 2026."High and low-tech air threats both pose major challenges to global air forces," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "We're developing an affordable AEW solution in cooperation with Saab, the leading provider of AEW&C systems, that will transform our customers' operations against both sophisticated cruise missiles and simple but dangerous drone swarms. We're also making AEW capability possible in areas it doesn't exist today, such as from some navy warships at sea."GA-ASI will pair Saab's AEW sensors with the world's longest-range, highest-endurance unmanned aircraft system (UAS), the MQ-9B. At sea or over land, the AEW mission package on MQ-9B will put air dominance within reach at a lower cost than legacy platforms.The MQ-9B AEW solution will offer critical aloft sensing to defend against tactical air, guided missiles, drones, and other threats at a fraction of the cost of manned platforms. Operational availability for medium-altitude long-endurance UAS is the highest of any military aircraft, and as an unmanned platform, its aircrew are not put into harm's way. AEW for MQ-9B will augment existing AEW fleets by extending their effective ranges. It also gives air forces that need AEW, but lack legacy platforms, a powerful and affordable means to counter threats.GA-ASI and Saab's AEW offering will span a wide range of applications, including early detection and warning; long-range detection and tracking; simultaneous target tracking and flexible combat system integration, all over line-of-sight and SATCOM connectivity.MQ-9B is the world's most advanced medium-altitude, long-endurance UAS. GA-ASI has MQ-9B orders from the United Kingdom, Belgium, Canada, Poland, Japan, Taiwan, India, and the U.S. Air Force in support of the Special Operations Command. MQ-9B has also supported various U.S. Navy exercises, including Northern Edge, Integrated Battle Problem, RIMPAC, and Group Sail.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). Logging more than 8 million flight hours, the Predator® line of UAS has flown for over 30 years and includes MQ-9A Reaper®, MQ-1C Gray Eagle® 25M, MQ-20 Avenger®, and MQ-9B SkyGuardian®/SeaGuardian®.

GA-ASI Announces New PELE Small UAS for International Customers ACN Newswire

GA-ASI Announces New PELE Small UAS for International Customers

SAN DIEGO, CA, June 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI), the world leader in unmanned aircraft from the iconic Predator® to the YFQ-42A Collaborative Combat Aircraft, has unveiled a new small uncrewed launched effect with widespread multi-mission capabilities for the global aerospace and defense market.Inspired by Pele, the Hawaiian goddess of powerful natural forces in the Pacific, the Precision Exportable Launched Effect - PELE - is a small, attrition-tolerant, propeller-driven unmanned aircraft designed to extend the sensing and other capabilities of a mothership aircraft and its user service. PELE is a semi-autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) with an 11-foot wingspan and 16-horsepower engine that extends user reach within challenging environments with potent effects. PELE also could be launched from the ground.The new PELE is optimized for use on the MQ-9B SkyGuardian®, the world's foremost medium-altitude, long-endurance, multi-mission uncrewed aircraft. MQ-9B is in use or being considered for use by a growing number of nations around the world. PELE can fly with an onboard electro-optical infrared sensor for full-motion video as well as other integral sensors. The aircraft also has internal stowage for its own mission payloads."PELE brings even more versatility to growing MQ-9B fleets around the world," said GA-ASI President David R. Alexander. "On one day, an air force might fly an MQ-9B with no external payloads to maximize its patrol time. Then on the next day, the same aircraft could take off and fly with several PELEs that would stand in against the adversary and take the immediate risks to preserve the larger aircraft."For example, MQ-9B might approach a contested boundary from international waters and release PELE to scout through the disputed zone to assess a hostile force's order of battle or detect and precisely geo-locate anti-air systems. PELE is 9 feet in length, has a maximum gross takeoff weight of 250 pounds, 7 hours of endurance and range of 500 nautical miles.About GA-ASIGeneral Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., is the world's foremost builder of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).

Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. Announces 2024/25 Annual Results ACN Newswire

Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. Announces 2024/25 Annual Results

HONG KONG, Jun 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (“Tat Hong” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2153), the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC, has announced its annual results for the year ended 31 March 2025 (“FY2025” or the “Year”).In FY2025, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB 634.6 million (2024: RMB682.3 million). Loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025 amounted to RMB 120.5 million (2024: RMB95.6 million). The increase in loss was primarily due to (i) slower economic growth and a downturn in the construction industry led to a decline in revenue; and (ii) the adjustment of deferred tax resulted in increased income tax expenses.As at 31 March 2025, the Group is managing a total of 1,180 tower cranes. The Group’s total tonne metres (TM) in use decreased from 3,178,404 for the year ended 31 March 2024 to 3,137,910 for the year ended 31 March 2025. As at 31 March 2025, the Group had 256 projects in progress with a total outstanding contract value of approximately RMB 721.4 million and 38 projects on hand of total expected contract value at approximately RMB 78.7 million.During the financial year, under the effect of insufficient market demand and the decline in the average monthly service price of tower cranes per TM, the supply and demand mismatch had resulted in high market competition in the entire construction machinery industry. To cope with the sluggish market conditions, the Group has developed tailored strategies and continuously adjusted its business mix, progressively reducing the revenue contribution from the real estate sector.In response to the national initiative to vigorously develop clean energy and aligning with market trends and growth potential, the Group has concentrated on thermal power projects and nuclear power projects. Clean energy projects usually entail lengthy construction cycles and large-scale operations, and the Group has obtained significant advantages by leveraging its extensive industry experience, established construction expertise, and strong technical capabilities.In FY2025, the Group accelerated its overseas market presence, thoroughly implemented its operational strategies through its subsidiaries in the Greater Bay Area and in Indonesia, and gradually expanded its fleet of large and medium-sized tower cranes. Up to now, large-tonnage-meter tower cranes have been predominantly deployed in the projects across Hong Kong and Indonesia. In light of the above, clean energy and overseas projects remain the Group’s key priorities for future development.During the year, the Group had continued the investment in the digitalization of the management platform and the research and development of new tower crane technical solutions. As at 31 March 2025, the Group possess 187 registered patents for utility models and inventions relating to tower cranes. The robust technical capabilities will continue to enable the Group to procure projects, and the enhancement in the research and development capabilities for tower crane technical solutions will reinforce the excellent delivery in services.Mr. Sean Yau, CEO of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: " In addition to the downturn in the property market and the construction industry, the geopolitical tensions and the depreciation pressure on the RMB further weakened the economy of the PRC. Tackling these economic challenges and the changing business environment., we have promptly adopted adjustments to our development strategies, including the expansion to the clean energy construction segment and the geographical expansion to the Greater Bay Area and Indonesia, and we believe the positive impact will be reflected in the coming years.Mr. Roland Ng, Chairman of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: “In the most trying circumstances, we remain steadfast in our original mission. Guided by our core corporate values ‘Virtue , Safety and Excellence , we will continue to excel in our business endeavors. In the coming financial year, we will continue to further strength our position in the above new segments and locations, and seize new opportunities in the market, so as to concentrate on the research and development of new tower crane technologies to equip ourselves with the most robust technical capabilities to deliver excellent services to our clients. Furthermore, we will also continue to achieve resources sharing, cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. With all the above measures, we believe we can fulfil the Group’s goal to become ‘the best construction equipment service provider’ in the industry.”About Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd.

Limited)已於二零二五年二月於大埔創新園展開全新製藥設施的建設工作。在香港政府「新型工業加速計劃」的支持下,該廠房將配備十條智能生產線,用於生產無菌眼藥水、固體劑型藥物及口服液,通過AI、機器人及實時數據分析,提升生產效率及品質水平。試產計劃預計於二零二六年底展開,重點生產專科治療藥物,針對未被滿足的醫療需求。此項策略性投資不僅鞏固本集團的行業領導地位,更有助推動香港發展成為先進藥業製造樞紐。雅各臣主席及行政總裁岑廣業先生表示:「二零二五財年對雅各臣而言是充滿意義的一年,再次印證我們策略的前瞻性、團隊的堅毅與投入,以及持份者對我們的信任。這些堅實基礎,持續鞏固我們作為香港仿製藥市場領導者的地位。展望二零二六年,我們對業務前景充滿信心。隨着醫療政策改革推進,以及人口老化與慢性病帶動藥物需求上升,將持續推動基礎藥物市場增長。憑藉強大的產品線、不斷拓展的合作夥伴關係,以及數碼創新,我們已具備有利優勢,把握增長機遇,為集團業務創造可持續價值。」關於雅各臣科研製藥有限公司(股份代號:2633)雅各臣是本地領先的醫藥公司,擁有垂直整合的業務,包括基礎藥物及專科藥物的研發、生產、分銷、銷售及物流。作為本地主要的非專利藥供應商,集團在香港私營及公營領域,具有最廣泛的銷售及分銷的市場覆蓋,並積極向策略性選擇的亞洲市場伸延擴展。集團於香港設有9間PIC/S GMP認證的非專利藥生產設施,並在各種治療藥物類別中擁有廣泛的產品組合與享有優越市場地位。同時,集團一直致力透過增加各種高增值產品,策略性地擴大其非專利藥的產品組合。紮根香港,集團已於中國、澳門、台灣及柬埔寨開設營運子公司,建立區域性商業平台,以把握亞太區及大中華地區的市場潛力。而自 2017 年 6月 1 日,集團獲納入 MSCI 香港微型股指數成份股。更多詳情請瀏覽雅各臣科研製藥有限公司網站: http://www.jacobsonpharma.com Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

調味品龍頭來襲!海天味業啟動港股招股

香港, 2025年6月13日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 消費板塊因其兼具「高安全邊際」與「成長確定性」,歷來是價值投資的首選。今年以來,以泡泡瑪特、蜜雪冰城、老鋪黃金為代表的消費標的受到資金熱捧。在港股消費賽道持續升溫之際,又一細分領域龍頭強勢叩門,為港股消費賽道再添一把火。6月11日,中國調味品行業的領軍者——佛山市海天調味食品股份有限公司(「海天味業」,股份代號:3288.HK)正式啟動港股招股,擬全球發售263,237,500股H股,每股發售價介乎35.00港元至36.30港元,募資總額約95.56億港元,預期於6月19日登陸聯交所主板。中金、高盛、摩根士丹利擔任聯席保薦人。 資本搶籌 投票中國消費確定性據了解,從2025年1月13日遞表港交所申請赴港上市,到5月23日通過港交所聆訊,海天味業僅用了4個多月的時間,如此緊湊且順暢的進程,在眾多赴港上市企業中較為罕見。「閃電上市」背後,國際資本對中國核心消費資產的渴求已不言而喻。「從路演熱度看,這可能是今年最不需要推銷的新股。」一位參與路演的投行人士透露。而其豪華的基石投資者陣容,更是這場資本盛宴的有力佐證。根據招股書,本次IPO,海天味業共吸引了高瓴、GIC、加拿大皇家銀行、源峰基金等8家國內外頂級投資機構,作為基石投資者合計認購5.95億美元的發售股份,按發售價中位數35.65港元算,相當於提前鎖定49.74%的發行份額(發售量調整權及綠鞋前)。招股首日,國際配售獲市場踴躍認購,彰顯其對專業投資者的強大吸引力。資本搶籌海天味業,不僅是對中國消費市場韌性與潛力的深刻認知,更是對海天味業作為行業龍頭長期價值的的深度押註。公開數據顯示,2013年至2023年間,在全球領先調味品企業中,海天味業是全球唯一一家實現收入雙位數增長的企業。2024年,海天味業淨利潤率高達23.6%,顯著領先國際同行。三重護城河 鑄就「醬茅」底氣作為中國調味品龍頭,海天味業能夠在龐大業務規模的基礎上持續保持穩健增長態勢,在於其始終秉持長期主義發展戰略,深耕產品創新、研發投入與渠道建設三大核心領域,不斷夯實自身競爭力,為業績的可持續增長構築堅實基礎。在產品端,海天味業擁有深入億萬消費者味蕾記憶的國民產品和產品家族,7個年收入超10億級的大單品系列,31個年收入1億級以上產品系列,橫跨醬油、蠔油、調味醬、食醋、料酒等多個品類,構成一道難以逾越的產品護城河。同時,在產品健康化、產品口味風味升級、個性化定制化功能產品等方面不斷創新,持續豐富現有產品系列,捕捉消費升級機遇。這種「存量優化+增量開拓」的策略,使其產品市場競爭力不斷提高,推動收入增長。於2024年,海天味業調味醬、其他調味品等產品合計收入同比增長14.0%,貢獻25.1%的收入規模。在研發端,海天味業長期堅持科技立企,截至2024年底,過去十年累計研發投入超59億,並轉化為超1,000項專利,涵蓋產品研發、菌種培育、釀造關鍵裝備、極致檢測技術等。海天味業通過將古法釀造等傳統工藝與現代科技智能相融合,實現「醬」心「智」造。2025年1月,海天味業廣東高明生產基地,憑借著超5項全球領先的智能釀造技術成果,被世界經濟論壇評為「燈塔工廠」,成為全球燈塔網絡中首家且唯一醬油生產工廠,標誌著海天智能釀造達國際頂級水平,也彰顯其以科技驅動產業轉型的卓越實力。在渠道端,海天味業以經銷為主,積極開拓市場,其銷售網絡覆蓋全國近100%地級市、90%縣級市,終端銷售網點多達300萬個,形成行業內覆蓋最廣、下沉最深的立體化全國銷售網絡,可全面觸達各類消費群體。根據凱度《2024年品牌足跡報告》,在中國,「海天」以超80%的家庭滲透率,位居中國消費者首選品牌第四、調味品品牌第一。長線投資價值收穫市場認可 成長潛力可期得益於紮實的基本面與品牌聲譽,海天味業長線投資價值獲得資本市場普遍看好。平安證券表示,海天味業作為調味品龍頭,在品牌、產品、渠道方面競爭優勢突出,市場份額持續提升,看好其長期發展。另有知名券商研報指出,短期來看,近期國家政策對消費定調積極,後續促消費範圍與力度有望加大,餐飲消費場景有望穩步恢復,進而對海天味業餐飲端產品需求起到一定提振。中長期來看,隨著居民健康意識提升,高品质的健康產品有望成為調味品行業未來發展趨勢之一。海天味業積極拓展市場、優化產品結構,並專注產品研發,開發新品類,市場競爭力有望進一步提升。海通國際則認為,海天味業港股上市為國際化戰略奠定基礎,隨著其有序推進海外佈局,中長期公司業績有望受益於消費基礎良好、調味品需求旺盛的海外市場。此次赴港上市,標誌著海天味業邁出國際化戰略的關鍵一步。港股上市不僅有助於其優化資本結構、提升品牌國際知名度,更為公司拓展海外市場、深化全球供應鏈、引進國際資源搭建更廣闊平台。在全球經濟復甦與中國品牌加速出海背景下,海天味業有望抓住消費升級與全球調味品市場擴容的雙重紅利,實現自身投資價值的持續提升。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
