LIMASSOL, CYPRUS, May 19, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Vaiz, the Limassol-based maker of a unified workspace for tasks and documents, is putting its agile project management tools in front of teams that have adopted agile in principle but find themselves buried in the ceremony that comes with it. Seventy-four percent of organizations now run on agile or hybrid agile approaches, according to Digital.ai's 18th State of Agile Report — but adoption and effectiveness are two different things. In 2026, the question is no longer whether agile matters. It is whether the tools teams use to run it are helping them ship faster or just making the process more visible.The ceremony problemMost agile tools were designed to manage agile processes: sprint boards, story point estimation, velocity charts, burndown reports, retrospective templates. The tools are thorough. They are also, for many small and mid-sized teams, exhausting. Configuring Jira to run a ten-person team requires the kind of admin investment that makes sense for a fifty-person engineering org. Running Scrum ceremonies across three different tools — a sprint board in one place, specs in another, retrospective notes in a third — means teams spend their energy on coordination instead of delivery.Vaiz ships with a ready-to-use Scrum template that covers the full sprint rhythm out of the box: nine columns including a dedicated Ceremonies lane for planning, standups, reviews, and retrospectives, plus a Sprint Results area to keep outcomes visible across cycles. WIP limits on active stages prevent overload. Sprint Number, Estimated Time, and Logged Time fields let teams track capacity and spot the gap between planning and reality — without over-engineering the process. Engineering task categories cover Frontend, Backend, API, DevOps, UI/UX, and more. No admin required to get started. Teams comparing the two platforms directly can see a full breakdown at vaiz.com/compare.Why agile teams are choosing VaizEvery task in Vaiz contains a native document editor capable of holding user stories, acceptance criteria, technical specs, and decision logs directly alongside the work. When a developer picks up a sprint item, the context is already there — no Confluence tab, no "where did we put that spec" in Slack. GitHub and GitLab integrations pull requests, branches, merge requests, and commits onto the task itself, so sprint traceability happens without manual status updates. The built-in AI assistant turns sprint goals into task breakdowns, drafts plans from briefs, and compresses long comment threads into action items the team can actually act on. For engineering teams working with AI-assisted development, Vaiz exposes a native MCP endpoint that lets Claude, Cursor, and other compatible assistants read and write directly into the workspace — no manual copy-paste between tools.Development paceVaiz is on version 2.84 with regular releases since 2025, recently moving to a two-week release cycle. Releases in 2026 have delivered an improved UI, Slack integration, Cursor IDE support, and calendar integration. An iOS app is coming soon in Q2 2026.Switching and pricingTeams moving over from another tool can transfer boards, tasks, and history through Vaiz's Migration Center, which currently handles Jira, Asana, Trello, YouTrack, Linear, and Notion in one click — with ClickUp, Monday, and Wrike on the way. The platform is free for teams of up to 10 users, with no credit card required. Paid plans are $5 per user per month for Pro and $9 per user per month for Premium. An on-premises Enterprise edition is available for organizations with data residency requirements. Every paid plan includes a 30-day free trial, and startups receive a 50% discount.More information is available at vaiz.com.About VaizFounded in 2024 and based in Limassol, Cyprus, Vaiz Ltd builds a cloud-based work management platform that brings task boards, documents, and automation into a single workspace. The product is used by cross-functional teams at startups, game studios, product companies, agencies, and growing businesses, and holds a 4.8/5 average rating across G2, Trustpilot, Crozdesk, and SoftwareSuggest.Media ContactBrand: VaizContact: Mike BurtonEmail: marketing@vaiz.com Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Key assumptions and estimated financial results are provided in Figure 1.First supply of battery grade lithium carbonate, fully finished onsite, is targeted for 2029. The Project has a 20-year mine life with initial capital requirement of approximately $568 million with operating cost of $3,837 per tonne, a base-case $1,373 million pre-tax NPV and 4.44 years payback. Anson has a definitive offtake agreement with Korea's LG Energy Solution for 40% of the annual production, see ASX announcement 24 September 2025.Benchmark Lithium Forecast Report Q1 2026 Base Case and Upside Case with representative forecast prices for the years 2029 and 2040. The full prices series is in Figure 1. Benchmark forecast price for 2040, the last year forecast, is assumed to remain unchanged through to 2048 2. Post-tax cash flows incorporate U.S. Federal and Utah State taxes and the applicable SITLA royalty, calculated on a variable sliding scale linked to realised lithium prices. The financial model and post-tax metrics exclude the potential benefit of Inflation Reduction Act production tax credits, grants and any other federal or state incentives currently available to critical minerals projects in the United States.The study builds on prior engineering studies and provides updated CAPEX and OPEX estimates, process design, and development pathways for a phase I 10,000tpa lithium carbonate (LCE) operation based on Direct Lithium Extraction ("DLE") technology.Market Conditions ForecastThe technical and economic assessment (+/- 50%) was calculated utilizing the base and upside cases for lithium carbonate price from Benchmark Minerals Lithium Forecast Q1 2026 as shown in Figure 1. Benchmark's forecast the lithium prices up to year 2040, this study assumes that forecast price for 2040 remains static through to 2048.Capital Expenditure EstimateThe capital cost estimate developed as part of the study reflects a comprehensive assessment of the core processing and supporting infrastructure required for the Project. This includes brine pretreatment facilities, the process plant incorporating DLE, purification and lithium carbonate refining circuits, as well as utilities and associated infrastructure. Site infrastructure such as buildings, stormwater management systems and electrical installations have been incorporated, together with offsite components including well pads, brine pipelines, utility interconnections, raw water supply and access roads. The estimate also includes construction indirect costs and a contingency allowance of 25%, appropriate for a conceptual level assessment, see Table 2.Consistent with a Scoping Study, certain elements have been excluded or only partially included at this stage. These include full wellfield development costs, financing costs including interest during construction, and broader corporate costs and insurance. In addition, allowances for commissioning, start-up and training, downstream logistics beyond the project boundary, and applicable taxes and royalties have not been fully incorporated. Owner's costs are excluded, which includes preliminary allowances for process media and resin, certain engineering components, and enabling infrastructure such as a natural gas connection and power system upgrades required to support the Project.Operating Cost EstimateOperating cost estimates have been developed based on the conceptual process design and an initial mass balance, incorporating assumptions for reagent consumption, energy and water usage, and fixed costs. These estimates are preliminary in nature and will be refined as the process design advances and vendor quotations are obtained, which may result in variations to the current cost profile. A break down of the estimated operating cost from the Scoping Study is provided in Figure 2.Peer ComparisonOPEX and CAPEX The Green River Lithium Project C1 Opex is positioned in the first quartile of the cost curve making it the most cost competitive project in North America. Capex per tonne of installed capacity is lower than any comparable project in North America. The Scoping Study confirms that the Green River Lithium Project is positioned within the lowest cost quartile globally, underpinned by a combination of structural and technical advantages. These include access to established infrastructure, the high quality of the underlying brine resource, lower estraction cost due to the pressure that pushes the brine towards surface and an optimised processing approach. In addition, the integration of Anson's proprietary iron removal technology provides a further competitive edge, enhancing overall process efficiency and reducing operating costs, see Figures 3, 4 & 5.Sensitivity AnalysisA sensitivity analysis was undertaken to assess the impact of key financial and operating variables on the Project's Base Case pre-tax NPV. The analysis tested changes of +/-20% to capital expenditure, operating expenditure and lithium carbonate price, see Figure 6. The results demonstrate that the Project is most sensitive to lithium carbonate pricing, reflecting the strong leverage of project returns to realised product prices. A +/-20% movement in lithium carbonate price results in an approximate +/-US$460 million movement in pre-tax NPV, representing approximately 34% variance from the Base Case pre-tax NPV. The Project is comparatively less sensitive to capital and operating costs. A +/-20% movement in either capital expenditure or operating expenditure results in an approximate +/-US$110 million movement in pretax NPV, representing approximately 8% variance from the Base Case. The sensitivity analysis indicates that while disciplined capital and operating cost control remain important, the Project's financial outcomes are principally driven by lithium carbonate pricing. This is consistent with the strong operating margin implied by the Project's low estimated C1 operating cost of US$3,837/t LCE and Base Case pre-tax NPV of US$1,373 million.Scoping Study OverviewThe PFS was undertaken to establish a clear and disciplined framework for the development of the Green River Lithium Project. The study focused on the preparation of AACE Class 5 capital and operating cost estimates, alongside optimisation of the process design and overall flowsheet configuration. In parallel, it identified the key cost drivers and development risks associated with the Project, providing a robust technical and economic foundation to support investment decision-making and progression toward a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS). The outcomes of the study confirm that the Green River Project is underpinned by several inherent advantages. These include access to established infrastructure, such as power, gas and transport networks, and a high-quality lithium brine resource. The Project design incorporates a modular Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) processing configuration, allowing for scalability and operational flexibility. Burns & McDonnell's PFS included site and plot plan, provisional mass balance and capital costs estimates and utilities, chemicals, media and fixed costs for Anson to estimate Opex. ISBL costs are based on the preliminary engineering and cost information provided by the licensors (+/-30% accuracy). The resources estimate was prepared by Apex. Lithium pricing data is sourced from Benchmark Minerals. Financial analysis including NPV and scenario analysis was completed by the CompanyManagement CommentaryBruce Richardson, CEO of Anson Resources, commented: "The completion of the Scoping Study marks a significant milestone for the Green River Lithium Project. The study confirms our strategy of developing a low-cost lithium operation with a capital profile that compares favourably with global peers. This supports the adage "Grade is King but in brine Purity is Supreme!" As the lithium market evolves, investment decisions are increasingly driven by returns rather than sentiment. The Green River Lithium Project is strongly positioned in this environment, supported by competitive economics, advanced engineering, and a clear pathway to development. With the Definitive Feasibility Study now underway, we are progressing toward Final Investment Decision and remain focused on delivering a world-class lithium project in Utah."See Full Release HereFor further information please contact:Bruce RichardsonExecutive Chairman and CEOWill MazeHead of Investor RelationsE: Info@AnsonResources.com E: Investors@AnsonResources.comPh: +61 7 3132 7990 Ph: +61 7 3132 7990www.AnsonResources.comSOURCE: Anson Resources Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

As some portfolio companies gradually move toward listing, Shoucheng Holdings' robotics investment portfolio is also transitioning from industrial deployment to earnings realization. Kang Yu, the company secretary of Shoucheng Holdings, said that if consolidated fund investment projects complete a new round of financing in the second half of the year, related fair value changes or investment gains are expected to provide incremental contribution to the bottom line.In addition to investment, Shoucheng Holdings is also advancing the development of commercialization scenarios for robotics. Taozhu New Creation Bureau has opened six stores, covering core business districts and transportation hubs in Beijing, as its offline retail network takes shape at an accelerated pace. Online, the Wall Breaker Project has become the top-ranked humanoid robot livestreaming channel across major platforms, with cumulative views exceeding 50 million and two appearances on Douyin's trending list. Market participants noted that these initiatives show the company's attempt to build a consumer-facing gateway for product display, sales, immersive experience and content reach. For the robotics industry, after technological breakthroughs, real-world scenarios, sales channels and user feedback will become important support for commercialization.The parking business remains the operating foundation of Shoucheng Holdings. In recent years, the company has continued to promote growth in its parking business and improve asset efficiency through digital and intelligent operations. With the development of new forms of transportation such as Robotaxi services, unmanned delivery vehicles and autonomous-driving shuttles, the functional boundaries of parking scenarios are also expanding, extending from traditional parking fees to integrated functions such as EV charging, fleet dispatching, maintenance and servicing, parking and data connectivity.On this basis, Shoucheng Holdings is accelerating its Robotaxi strategic deployment and reconstructing traditional parking facilities into operational hubs for autonomous vehicles. Under this model, parking facilities are no longer merely vehicle storage spaces, but also take on infrastructure functions such as intelligent dispatching, automatic charging, outsourced maintenance services and data interaction. As autonomous-driving operation scenarios continue to expand, parking assets are expected to extend from traditional operating scenarios to infrastructure nodes for intelligent transportation.In terms of shareholder returns, the board of Shoucheng Holdings has decided to distribute a special dividend of approximately HKD470 million. Based on last year's dividend of approximately HKD310 million and the company's market capitalization of HKD13.52 billion at the close on May 15, the annual dividend yield is estimated at approximately 5.77%. Share buybacks are also an important measure for the company to strengthen shareholder returns. Since the beginning of 2026, Shoucheng Holdings has repurchased approximately HKD262 million worth of shares, with buybacks conducted on almost every trading day. The special dividend highlights the company's cash flow capability and willingness to distribute dividends, while share repurchases reflect its view of the current valuation level. Together, the two measures have helped the company form a clearer shareholder return framework.Overall, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its business layout around three main lines: its operating foundation, shareholder returns and industrial investment. Parking assets and asset management operations provide a cash flow base; dividends and buybacks enhance capital returns; and robotics investment, Taozhu New Creation Bureau and Robotaxi-related deployment open up new room for growth. As portfolio companies advance their IPO processes, offline scenarios continue to expand and the digital and intelligent upgrade of the parking business progresses, the company's business structure is expected to be further optimized, while asset operation efficiency and industrial synergy capabilities should continue to improve.

SINGAPORE, May 18, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Want to rebuild your savings while carrying an existing debt? It can be overwhelming, but it is possible. The common belief is that one must eliminate all debt before saving again, but this could not be further from reality. Both goals can be managed together, even with monthly bills, Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs) and everyday expenses competing for your income.A balanced approach to savings can reduce financial stress, help to stay prepared for emergencies and move steadily towards long-term stability. Some short-term options to help paying off debt include a Balance Transfer, Personal Loan or a credit line. Choosing the suitable Balance Transfer option available can help lower interest costs and make repayment more manageable.Wondering how? Read along to find out.Get a clear picture of your current financesBefore creating an aggressive savings plan or an unrealistic debt payment plan that will soon drain you, it is important to understand where your money is going. As a first step, list all your outstanding debts, including credit cards, personal loans or education loans, along with their respective interest rates and required minimum payments. While doing this, also consider your monthly income and essential expenses to understand the flexibility you have.Budget for both goalsRebuilding your savings starts with setting a well-structured budget. Many people often allocate every bit of extra money towards debt repayment, which is why they fail to rebuild their savings. Allocate specific portions to both savings and debt reduction, striking a balance that ensures you do not feel financially insecure while you work towards freedom from debt. Over time, your budget can be adjusted as debts reduce and your financial confidence grows.Start with an emergency fundAn emergency fund protects you from unexpected expenses that could push you further into debt. This fund helps cover medical emergencies, urgent travel or sudden job changes/loss, without relying on credit cards or loans. Building this fund steadily, no matter the amount, is more important than trying to save a large sum all at once.Reduce debt while protecting your savingsIf you want to stay consistent with repayments without sacrificing your savings, you must choose the right strategy, which balances interest payment, motivation and cash flow. The right approach depends on whether you want to minimise interest or maintain motivation while saving. The debt avalanche method focuses on the former, while the snowball method helps with the latter.Debt avalanche methodUnder this method, the focus is on paying off debts with the highest interest first, while continuing to make minimum payments on others. This reduces the total interest paid over time, whereby you regain control. This repayment strategy reduces the interest burden and frees up money that can be later redirected towards savings.Debt snowball methodThe snowball method focuses on clearing smaller debts first, focusing on quick wins that result in continued motivation. With each debt cleared, the available amount can be split between savings and the next payment goal.Automate savingsThe temptation to skip saving when expenses rise can be strong; hence, automating your savings is important. For instance, setting up a mandate for automatic transfer of funds to your savings account right after your salary is credited ensures consistency. This helps you maintain steady and growing savings while also staying committed to debt repayment.Cut expenses without feeling restrictedReducing expenses does not require extreme cutbacks. Identify areas where you can make small adjustments that will lead to significant savings. This includes checking for unused subscriptions, planning meals to limit dine-out expenses, and reviewing bills wherever possible. The freed-up money can later be allocated to savings or debt payments.Rebuilding your savings while paying off existing debt is a long-term game of patience, planning and consistency. Start by understanding your finances and then identifying a financial strategy that works best for you. Saving and debt repayment are not competing goals, they can work together to create a secure financial future.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte Ltd, an external marketer engaged and compensated by UOB Ltd.Contact Information:Name: Sonakshi MurzeEmail: Sonakshi.murze@iquanti.comJob Title: ManagerSOURCE: iQuanti Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
