The newly launched Indonesia corridor is building on the success of the Philippines corridor, which has been fully deployed and operational since early this year.

Powered by EMQ's scalable API platform, the partnership enables WeChat Pay HK to simplify the remittance process by allowing the overseas workers in Hong Kong to send money via a smart phone, providing a faster and seamless money transfer experience, while helping to drive greater financial inclusion across the Philippines and Indonesia. The Filipinos and Indonesians who live and work away from home can now use WeChat Pay HK to enjoy a full range of pay-out options including instant cash pickup, bank deposits to any bank, or mobile wallet wherever they are to support their families in hometown.

EMQ currently has footprint in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, with plans underway to expand across other key business markets first in Asia and then globally, covering North America, Europe and the Middle East.

Pitney Bowes (NYSE:PBI), a global technology company that provides innovative products and solutions to power commerce, is being recognized today by the Catalyst CEO Champions For Change initiative. Catalyst CEO Champions for Change is a collective of 50 high-profile CEOs who visibly support and drive diversity, inclusion and gender equality within their organizationsto advance women into leadership roles. According toa progress report released today by Catalyst, using baseline data mined from all Catalyst Champion companies, findings show that the Catalyst Champion organizations, including Pitney Bowes, are outperforming their peers in the S&P 500 in all areas of women’s representation.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20171107005169/en/

Pitney Bowes has previously earned the Catalyst Award for its diverse and inclusive practices toward women who now represent 42% of its global workforce, 27% of its senior management, 30% of the CEO's senior management team, and 36% of its Board of Directors.

“We commend Pitney Bowes along with the other Catalyst Champion CEOs who represent a passionate group of change agents. They are already leaders and champions of gender equality and inclusion. Now they are taking bold action, holding themselves publicly accountable for doing the right thing and inspiring all of us to do more,” says Deborah Gillis, President and CEO, Catalyst.

“Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and open markets is the right thing to do, it’s imperative for our business, and it is core to who Pitney Bowes has been for nearly 100 years,” said Marc Lautenbach, President and CEO of Pitney Bowes. “Our company has evolved and adapted throughout almost a century of change, guided by these unassailable truths. We will continue to be vigilant to our values which are that we do the right thing the right way.”

Findings from the report include:

• Catalyst Champion companies outperform their S&P 500 peers in advancing women at all levels of the organization, specifically among board seats (29.0% Catalyst Champion vs. 21.2% S&P 500), executive/senior-level positions (27.9% Catalyst Champion vs. 26.5% S&P 500) and first-/mid-level positions (38.4% Catalyst Champion vs. 36.9% S&P 500).

To add context, even what looks like relatively small progress in some cases can have a large impact. For example, Catalyst’s analysis shows that improving the total number of women in leadership roles by 1% across all S&P 500 companies would result in 12,000 more women in these roles.

Finova Financial, a digital financial services provider transforming the future of global banking, announced the creation of a fundraising process known as a JOBS Crypto Offering (JCO) which, when completed, will give investors the opportunity to invest in equity ownership of previously privately-held companies using cryptocurrency.

The JCO is a hybrid of initial coin offering investments (ICOs), which allow companies to raise capital more readily through cryptocurrency investments and an initial public offering of stock. In a JCO, “tokens” representing ownership of shares of capital stock would be tracked on a distributed ledger or blockchain (Tokens) and would be sold pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act or a transaction which is exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Rule 251 under the Securities Act (i.e. Regulation A+).

The JCO is the brainchild of serial fintech entrepreneur, Gregory Keough, who is the current CEO of Finova Financial and former CEO of Mobile Financial Services, a MasterCard and Telefonica Joint Venture for mobile financial services globally.

“I liked the idea of the ICOs when they were first introduced as they looked like an exciting way for startups to raise funds from small investors, but I had concerns about regulatory compliance practices, especially for tokens that are clearly securities,” noted Finova CEO, Gregory Keough. “I designed the JCO as a process to open the doors of opportunity for the small investor, allowing them to participate using cryptocurrency in security offerings in compliance with SEC regulations. I envision the Tokens sold in JCOs being listed on an Alternative Trading System, creating a liquid security and providing companies with an alternative to a traditional initial public offering.”

“We think the JCO has the potential to have a massive impact on the way startups raise funds, while creating some much-needed regulatory clarity in the crypto-investing space,” said Sheel Mohnot, Partner, 500 Startups.

JCO: How it Works

The JOBS Crypto Offering (JCO) is a new financing process that allows for companies to issue securities to the general public in exchange for cryptocurrency or other funds in compliance with SEC regulations. Ownership of such securities would be represented by entries in a distributed electronic network or database maintained by or on behalf of the Company in accordance with Section 224 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as Tokens. The Tokens would be listed on an Alternative Trading System that is compliant with Regulation ATS under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

*About the JOBS Act

Passed in 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) was designed to help small businesses raise capital by easing certain securities regulations, expanding options for entrepreneurs to seek out everyday investors to raise capital and grow their companies via online crowdfunding platforms. The JOBS Act was also known as the Crowdfund Act because under Title III it created a way for businesses to use crowdfunding to raise capital by issuing securities – which had never been done before. Along with the crowdfunding aspects of the JOBS Act, the act also changed a number of laws and regulations to make it easier for companies to raise capital privately and go public.

About Finova Financial

Working to transform the future of banking on a global scale, National Financial Holdings, Inc. (known as “Finova”) develops fair and affordable digital financial technologies to create a more inclusive financial system and provide a path to financial health for the two billion people outside of the traditional financial system.

• Net sales at Rs 1,348 Cr grew by 11.2% over same quarter last year with underlying volume & mix growth at 12%. This was driven by 15% growth in sales volume & mix of Consumer & Bazaar products and 1% decline in sales volume & mix of Industrial Products.

Oasis Management Company Ltd. (“Oasis”) is the manager to funds that beneficially own approximately 4.8% of Pasona Group Inc. (2168 JT) (“Pasona” or “the Company”), making Oasis one of the Company’s largest minority shareholders. Oasis has adopted the Japan FSA “Principles of Responsible Ownership” (a/k/a Japan Stewardship Code) and in line with those principles, Oasis monitors and engages with our investee companies.

We have been monitoring the Company for a long time and have sent our proposals on its strategic implementation and governance restructuring to the Board of Directors of the Company. Despite our efforts, to date we have neither received formal response to our proposal nor had a chance to meet with the Company’s Board members, even though we have requested a meeting several times. We are very disappointed with the Company’s lack of effort in engaging in dialogue with us, even though the consciousness towards interactive communication with shareholders is widely increasing in Japan. Therefore, we have today announced “A Better Pasona” campaign (www.ABetterPasona.com) in response to the situation at the Company.

The key objective of our campaign is to urge transformational change at Pasona and enhance the Company’s business and governance structure for every stakeholder, including employees, customers, lenders, creditors, and minority shareholders. Pasona is one of the least profitable companies in its industry, despite its history, expertise, and scale. We fear that there is a material risk in the short- and medium-term for every stakeholder if the company continues its very low level of profitability, including risk to:

• Employees: Risk of stable employment and economic interest;
• Clients: Risk of stable and value-added service from the company;
• Lenders and creditors: Risk of debt collection; and
• Minority shareholders: Breach of the board of directors’ duty to increase shareholder equity over the long term. The board has failed to increase profitability over the short, medium and long term.

We believe that this is caused by 1) the lack of substantial investment into profitable and growing business in the industry, 2) no cost management, and 3) a poor governance structure. As a result of its weak profitability, the company’s stock price has underperformed industry peers over an extended period, and is currently valued at around half of the value of the Benefit One Inc. (2412 JT) stake that Pasona owns. Our proposed implementations are designed to resolve these issues, and have been compiled into a presentation uploaded to our “A Better Pasona” website.

We will continue our effort to meet with Pasona's Board members in order to engage in a collaborative and positive dialogue with the Company to realize "A Better Pasona".

We also welcome Pasona stakeholders to contact us via our “A Better Pasona” website to join the movement to improve Pasona.

For all inquiries, please contact Taylor Hall at thall@hk.oasiscm.com.

Nexif Energy, an independent power producer in Australia and Southeast Asia, has announced that it has reached financial close for the first stage of the Lincoln Gap Wind Farm in Australia.

Located near Port Augusta in South Australia, the Lincoln Gap Wind Farm project’s 126 megawatts (MW) first stage involves the construction and operation of 36 wind turbines, supported by innovative offtake contracts with Snowy Hydro and ERM Power. The full project, a 59-wind turbine farm, will produce 212MW, which is enough electricity to power approximately 155,000 homes. The project will feed into the State’s electricity grid via the ElectraNet transmission network.

The project also includes installation of a utility scale battery system of 10MW, with potential expansion capability to utilize battery technology advancements. This will be one of Australia’s largest private sector-initiated and owned grid battery systems not underwritten by a government contract or funded by government grants.

“As a new, independent participant to the Australian market, we are excited to implement an innovative contracting strategy that will not only provide renewable power to thousands of Australian homes but also optimise the use of grid-scale battery storage on a commercial basis,” said Matthew Bartley, a Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Nexif Energy. “We value the support of all project stakeholders who have worked with us along the way to achieve this important milestone.”

Lincoln Gap will be constructed under the terms of a turnkey contract with Senvion Australia and is expected to begin operation in Q1 2019. The Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) will act as financier, lending up to A$150M (US$115M) for construction of the first stage of the wind farm and Investec has provided facilities totalling A$39M (US$30M) for working capital and letters of credit.

“We are committed to becoming a leading regional independent power generation company and are striving to achieve this by briskly executing on our active projects in Australia, Vietnam and other markets such as Thailand, Bangladesh and the Philippines,” added Surender Singh, a Founder and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Nexif Energy. “We are also seeking additional large-scale investment opportunities in Asia-Pacific as we continue to look toward the future.”

Nexif Energy was formed in 2015 by independent power management company Nexif and global private equity firm Denham Capital. Nexif Energy’s equity commitment for Lincoln Gap represents its largest investment to date.

“This is another landmark project for Nexif Energy and builds upon prior Denham investments in Australia. We are excited to continue expanding Denham’s international power investment footprint across the Australian and Southeast Asian markets with the Nexif Energy platform,” said Denham Capital Director Saurabh Anand. “The region presents significant growth opportunities and we look forward to investing in more projects in the near future alongside Surender, Matthew and their team.”

About Nexif Energy

Nexif Energy was formed in August 2015 by Nexif, a Singapore-based independent power management company, and Denham Capital, a leading global energy-focused private equity firm with more than US$9.0 billion of invested and committed capital across eight fund vehicles. Nexif Energy’s goal is to develop, finance, construct and opportunistically acquire conventional and renewable power generation assets across Southeast Asia and Australia.
