Kandal M Venture Limited Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notification Letter Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

Cambodia, Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kandal M Venture Limited (Nasdaq: FMFC) (“Kandal” or the “Company”), a contract manufacturer of affordable luxury leather goods with manufacturing operations in Cambodia, today announced it has received a letter of noncompliance from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), dated December 22, 2025, notifying the Company that based on Kandal’s closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the continued listing requirement of Nasdaq, under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2), to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share.

However, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance. If at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide Kandal with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance, Kandal may be eligible for additional time.

To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Kandal meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.

The Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s class A ordinary shares, and the said shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “FMFC.”

Kandal is currently evaluating options to regain compliance and intends to timely regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirement. Although Kandal will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirement.

OBOOK Holdings Inc. Announces Unaudited Financial Results for the First Half of 2025 Ended June 30, 2025; Core Infrastructure Transition Near Completion; Enterprise Activation and Monetization

ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OBOOK Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OWLS) (the “Company” or “OwlTing”), a blockchain technology company operating as the OwlTing Group, today announced its unaudited financial results for the first half of 2025 ended June 30, 2025. The Company also highlighted the near completion of its core global payment infrastructure and progress toward enterprise-scale stablecoin payment activation beginning in 2026.

First Half 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights

  • 2025 marked a pivotal transition year for OwlTing, representing the near completion of the core global payment infrastructure, including regulatory, settlement, processing capacity, and compliance capabilities required to support enterprise-scale stablecoin payments.
     
  • With the infrastructure now largely in place and early enterprise customers already onboarded, OwlTing is supporting multi-billion-dollar monthly transaction capacity across qualified counterparties that have completed API integration and compliance onboarding. This represents transaction capacity rather than contracted revenue, and monetization is expected to scale as corridors and regulatory coverage expand.
     
  • OwlTing’s established and legacy businesses remained a solid foundation of the Company during this transition, continuing to perform well while supporting overall stability as the infrastructure build-out was completed.
     
  • Payment services revenue increased by 16%, driven by the Company’s traditional payment gateway business, with Gross Payment Volume1 exceeding US$110 million and Active Accounts2 of more than 4,100 customers, demonstrating continued scale and customer engagement.
     
  • OwlNest revenue grew approximately 20%, supported by a subscriber base of over 2,700 OwlNest Subscribers3, reflecting sustained demand for our hospitality and merchant service offerings.

  • OwlTing is positioned to enter an activation phase beginning in 2026, with scalability and operating leverage expected to become increasingly evident as transaction volumes grow and payment mix shifts toward infrastructure-led settlement.

Management Commentary

“We view the first half of 2025 as a transition period where we prioritized system completion over near-term revenue optimization,” commented Darren Wang, Founder & CEO at OwlTing Group. “We are seeing enterprise customers move from pilots toward production integration, and we are expanding the regulatory and corridor access required to scale stablecoin and tokenized-asset settlement in a compliant manner. In infrastructure businesses, capacity precedes monetization, and we believe the foundation we have put in place positions us well for an activation phase beginning in 2026.”

“Our first-half results reflect disciplined cost control while completing a major infrastructure transition. Excluding non-recurring listing-related expenses, our core expense base remained stable as we continued investing in scalability and compliance,” stated Winnie Lin, CFO at OwlTing Group. “As utilization increases, we expect the economics to improve meaningfully given a largely fixed cost base and declining marginal costs on our settlement stack. Our liquidity and capital resources provide flexibility to support global expansion and ongoing product development, while positioning the Company to capture significant operating leverage as infrastructure utilization scales.”

First Half 2025 Financial Results


Revenue


Total revenue was US$3.84 million in the first half of 2025, compared to US$3.61 million in the same period of 2024. Revenue performance during the period should be viewed in the context of a transition year, during which the Company intentionally prioritized the completion of its core payment infrastructure over short-term revenue acceleration.

Management focused on advancing regulatory readiness, settlement capabilities, processing capacity, and compliance systems required to support enterprise-scale operations. As a result, reported revenue reflects a deliberate investment phase and does not yet capture the full earning potential of the infrastructure that has now largely been completed.

Within this context, the Company’s core revenue streams continued to demonstrate resilience, providing a stable foundation during the transition while positioning the business for improved scalability and operating leverage.

  • Revenue from payment services increased 16.0% to US$2.17 million in the first half of 2025, compared to US$1.87 million in the same period last year, driven by higher gross payment volumes and an expanding customer base across core markets. Payment services contributed 56.4% of total revenue in the first half of 2025 compared to 51.8% in the prior-year period, reflecting the continued strength of the Company’s payment operations during the transition year.
     
  • Revenue from hospitality services increased to US$1.39 million in the first half of 2025 from US$1.35 million in the same period last year. Performance was supported by continued growth in hospitality-related software services, primarily driven by OwlNest property management system subscription fees, reflecting ongoing adoption and contract renewals. This growth was partially offset by lower activity in hospitality platform services, which experienced modest softness due to shifts in regional travel patterns.
     
  • Revenue from the e-commerce platform declined to US$288 thousand in the first half of 2025 from US$382 thousand in the same period last year. The decrease reflects the Company’s strategic reallocation of internal resources toward higher-growth business lines, particularly its payment infrastructure platform, which resulted in reduced operating focus and lower revenue from the e-commerce segment.


Cost of Revenue


Cost of revenue in the first half of 2025 was US$3.36 million compared to US$3.07 million in the same period last year, primarily reflecting a higher contribution from traditional payment gateway services, which carry a lower gross margin profile due to third-party processing costs. Management views this cost structure as transitional as the revenue mix continues to evolve.


Gross Profit


Gross profit in the first half of 2025 was US$480 thousand compared to US$540 thousand in the same period last year. Gross margin declined to 12.5%, from 15.0% in the first half of 2024, primarily reflecting the cost structure associated with traditional third-party payment channels. As the Company completes its transition toward proprietary, stablecoin-native settlement infrastructure, management expects marginal transaction costs to decline meaningfully.

The infrastructure model is characterized by a largely fixed cost base, with incremental transaction volume expected to convert to margin at a significantly higher rate over time. Accordingly, management views current margin levels as transitional rather than structural and expects margin expansion as infrastructure activation increases.


Operating Expenses


Operating expenses totaled US$6.79 million in the first half of 2025, compared with US$4.71 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by one-time public listing-related expenses and professional services fees associated with the Company’s Nasdaq listing and related regulatory requirements. Excluding these non-recurring items, core operating expenses remained broadly consistent with prior periods, reflecting continued cost discipline across sales, product development, and administrative functions.

  • Marketing and sales expenses decreased by 21.2% to US$0.95 million in the first half of 2025 from US$1.21 million in the same period last year, mainly driven by lower labor-related costs. As a percentage of total revenue, marketing and sales expenses decreased to 24.7% in the first half of 2025 from 33.4% in the same period last year, reflecting enhanced operational efficiency and improved return on customer acquisition spend.
     
  • General and administrative expenses increased to US$4.53 million in the first half of 2025 from US$2.30 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily driven by non-recurring legal, audit, and professional services fees incurred in connection with the Company’s U.S. public listing. In addition, the Company incurred higher office rental expenses, reflecting broader infrastructure scaling to support international operations.
     
  • Research and development expenses increased to US$1.31 million or 34.1% of total revenue in the first half of 2025 from US$1.20 million or 33.2% of total revenue in the same period last year. The increase reflects the Company’s continued investment in enhancing platform scalability, fortifying information security architecture, and expanding its proprietary cloud-based infrastructure. These initiatives are aligned with the Company’s long-term strategy to drive product innovation and ensure a secure, high-performance environment for enterprise clients.


Net Loss


Net loss narrowed by 27.0% to US$3.91 million in the first half of 2025 from US$5.35 million in the same period last year. The year-over-year improvement was primarily attributable to increased revenue and reduced marketing and sales spend, which helped offset elevated one-time listing-related expenses. Foreign exchange movements had a modest positive impact on the Company’s Taiwan-based cost structure; however, these gains were partially offset at the consolidated level due to currency fluctuations in other markets.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


Operating cash outflows totaled US$1.29 million in the first half of 2025, a significant improvement from US$4.45 million in the same period of 2024. The reduction in cash usage was primarily driven by stronger revenue performance and enhanced cost efficiencies, which together reduced the Company’s operating cash requirements during the period.

During our pre-listing financing rounds in 2025, we raised approximately US$20 million in total capital through a combination of equity financings and SAFE instruments, of which approximately US$14 million was completed in the second half of the year.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company maintained a solid liquidity and capital position, underpinned by prudent working capital management and disciplined capital expenditure. Management believes that existing cash reserves, together with anticipated operating cash flows, are sufficient to support ongoing operational needs and planned strategic investments. The Company also remains open to strategic capital opportunities that could accelerate expansion in 2026, subject to market conditions.

Business Outlook

For the remainder of 2025, OwlTing remains focused on fully operationalizing the infrastructure investments made across regulatory coverage, settlement capabilities, processing capacity, and compliance frameworks. Management expects continued progress in enterprise onboarding and corridor readiness, with monetization expected to scale as utilization increases over time.

Looking ahead, the Company believes that the infrastructure completed during this transition year positions OwlTing for more efficient scaling as payment-related offerings gain broader enterprise adoption. As utilization of the platform increases, management expects operating leverage to become more visible, supported by a largely fixed infrastructure cost base and an improving revenue mix.

Share Repurchase Program

On November 26, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to US$10 million of the Company’s Class A common stock. The repurchase program, effective for nine months, reflects the Board’s view that the repurchase authorization provides flexibility in capital allocation as the Company executes its long-term infrastructure strategy and evaluates near-term catalysts across its payment technology pipeline. Under the authorization, OwlTing may repurchase shares from time to time in the open market or through other methods permitted under applicable law, including pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, in accordance with applicable securities laws and Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the program may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time based on market conditions, corporate needs, or other factors deemed relevant by the Company.

Recent Developments

  • Nasdaq Listing

    On October 16, 2025, the Company announced the successful direct listing of its Class A common shares on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) under the ticker symbol “OWLS”. As Asia’s first fintech company to achieve a direct listing on Nasdaq with its Class A common shares, OBOOK believes that this direct listing marks a significant step forward for the region’s technology and financial innovation landscape. Sullivan & Cromwell LLP acted as U.S. counsel to the Company. D. Boral Capital LLC acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with this direct listing, and Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP acted as U.S. counsel to D. Boral Capital LLC. KPMG acted as the Company’s independent auditor.

  • Expands U.S. Regulatory Footprint

    Following its successful Nasdaq direct listing, the Company achieved an additional regulatory milestone with the approval of money transmitter licenses or the equivalent in Washington, Kansas, North Carolina, and New Mexico, expanding its fund operations coverage to 40 U.S. states. The Washington State license was obtained following a multi-year regulatory review process, further strengthening OwlTing’s U.S. regulatory footprint and supporting its strategy to develop a fully regulated stablecoin infrastructure for global commerce through its OwlPay platform.

    In parallel, the Company continues to advance licensing and regulatory authorization efforts in the European Union, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, and the Latin American region. Supported by a comprehensive compliance framework, including rigorous KYC/AML controls and end-to-end transaction transparency, OwlTing seeks to support financial institutions, fintech companies, and global merchants in the adoption of stablecoin-based payment solutions in a compliant and scalable manner.

  • Integration into the Circle Payment Network (CPN)

    On December 4, 2025, the Company announced the successful integration of its OwlPay platform into the Circle Payments Network (CPN), a global stablecoin settlement rail developed by Circle Technology Services, LLC. As one of the first Asia-based financial institutions to join CPN, OwlTing now enables near-instant, compliant stablecoin transactions across a growing set of high-value corridors, including Latin America, Africa, and the European Union, via its OwlPay Wallet Pro platform. This development enhances the Company’s ability to deliver low-cost, real-time cross-border payment services and supports its broader strategy to expand reach in the US$194 trillion global payments market. With operational coverage across 40 U.S. states supported by applicable regulatory licenses, OwlTing continues to strengthen its position as a trusted global stablecoin infrastructure provider.

  • Collaboration with Visa to Launch OwlPay Cash App for Remittances

    On December 9, 2025, OwlTing announced the upcoming launch of OwlPay Cash, a mobile-first remittance application developed in collaboration with Visa. Powered by Visa Direct and supported by Cross River Bank for U.S. settlement, OwlPay Cash allows users in the United States to send funds directly to bank accounts in 26 countries, including key remittance corridors across Latin America, Asia, and Europe. The app combines global reach, cost efficiency, and a user-friendly experience to address longstanding challenges in cross-border money transfers. OwlPay Cash enables real-time payouts in local currencies with no monthly fees and up to 70% lower transaction costs than traditional SWIFT-based methods. The product expands OwlTing’s reach in fiat-based payments while reinforcing the Company’s strategy to build trusted, compliance-led global payment infrastructure.

Applied Digital to Spin Out Cloud Business, Proposes Business Combination with EKSO to Launch ChronoScale

Proposed Business Combination with Nasdaq-listed EKSO to Form an Accelerated Focused GPU Platform Purpose Built for Next-Generation AI Workloads

DALLAS, Dec. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Applied Digital (NASDAQ: APLD), a designer, builder, and operator of high-performance, sustainably engineered data centers and colocation services for artificial intelligence, cloud, networking and blockchain workloads, and EKSO Bionics Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: EKSO) (“EKSO”) announced today that Applied Digital and EKSO entered into a non-binding term sheet for a proposed business combination of Applied Digital’s cloud computing business, Applied Digital Cloud, with EKSO, which, once closed, will go forward as ChronoScale Corporation, an accelerated compute platform purpose-built to support artificial intelligence (“AI”) workloads (the “Proposed Transaction”). As enterprise and AI-native demand for GPU-accelerated cloud infrastructure continues to grow rapidly, the Proposed Transaction is intended to create a focused platform designed to deliver high-performance compute at scale in a capacity-constrained market.

By separating the accelerated compute platform from Applied Digital’s data center ownership and development business, the Proposed Transaction will allow each business to scale independently, pursue distinct growth trajectories, and operate with greater strategic and capital flexibility. ChronoScale is being designed for customers who require predictable performance, infrastructure control, and rapid deployment without the tradeoffs of generic cloud environments. The ChronoScale platform is expected to leverage the mature Applied Digital Cloud business to rapidly deploy and scale next-generation GPU-based compute infrastructure optimized for advanced AI training and inference workloads requiring dense, reliable, and efficiently delivered accelerated compute.

Upon closing of the Proposed Transaction, Applied Digital would own approximately 97% of the combined company, which will operate under the name ChronoScale. The Applied Digital Cloud and EKSO businesses would continue to operate upon consummation of the Proposed Transaction, and EKSO plans to continue to explore strategic transactions for the possible sale of all or substantially all of EKSO’s current business.

“This Proposed Transaction emanates from our previously announced initiative to evaluate and explore strategic alternatives,” commented Scott Davis, EKSO’s Chief Executive Officer. “We approached our review thoughtfully and with an aim to maximize shareholder value, and we believe the Proposed Transaction has the potential to achieve that goal and that the Proposed Transaction is in the best interest of EKSO’s stakeholders.”

“ChronoScale is intended to bring together a proven operating platform and a clear mandate: deliver accelerated compute at scale for the most demanding AI workloads,” said Wes Cummins, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Applied Digital. “As AI workloads continue to reshape the digital economy and intensify, infrastructure must be purpose-built, not generalized — and ChronoScale’s design is intended to meet these requirements.”

Applied Digital Cloud was among the first platforms to deploy NVIDIA’s H100 GPUs at scale in 2023, demonstrating its ability to source, integrate, and operate next-generation GPU infrastructure ahead of broader market adoption. The business generated a twelve-month revenue of approximately $75.2 million as of August 31, 2025, reflecting strong, growing demand from enterprise and AI-native customers for dedicated accelerated compute delivered through cloud-based platforms.

ChronoScale is also expected to benefit from the strategic alignment with Applied Digital’s expanding portfolio of purpose-built AI factory campuses, providing advantaged access to infrastructure that accelerates deployment timelines and aims to reduce execution risks as GPU demand continues to scale.

The Proposed Transaction is expected to close in the first half of 2026, subject to the completion of customary due diligence, execution of final binding documents, customary regulatory and shareholder approvals, and satisfaction of closing conditions.

Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of EKSO’s shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction, including the names and interests of ChronoScale and EKSO’s directors and executive officers, will be set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is expected to be filed by EKSO and ChronoScale with the SEC. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents as described above.
