Ridge Security’s strong commitment to customer experience further strengthens its position in the market.

SHENZHEN, China, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Meiwu Technology Company Limited (“WNW” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: WNW) today announced that it will effect a reverse share split of its outstanding ordinary shares, no par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), at a ratio of 1-for-100.

Our Ordinary Shares will begin trading on a reverse share split-adjusted basis at the opening of The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) on April 6, 2026. Following the reverse share split, the Ordinary Shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “WNW” with the new CUSIP number, G9604C131. The reverse share split is expected to lead the Company’s Ordinary Shares to trade at approximately 100 times the price per share at which it trades prior to the effectiveness of the reverse share split. The Company, however, cannot assure that the price of its Ordinary Shares after the reverse split will reflect the 1-for-100 reverse split ratio, that the price per share following the effective time of the reverse split will be maintained for any period of time, or that the price will remain above the pre-split trading price.

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse share split and all such fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of Ordinary Shares.

The reverse share split will reduce the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares from 133,042,533 to approximately 1,330,426, subject to any adjustments resulting from the treatment of the fractional shares.

On March 17, 2026, the board of directors of the Company approved the reverse share split of the Ordinary Shares, at a ratio of 1-for-100.

TranShare Corporation is acting as the exchange agent and paying agent for the reverse share split. Shareholders holding their shares in book-entry form or in brokerage accounts need not take any action in connection with the reverse share split.

TranShare Corporation will provide instructions to any shareholders with certificates regarding the process in connection with the exchange of pre-reverse share split share certificates for ownership in book-entry form or share certificates on a post-reverse share split basis. Shareholders are encouraged to contact their bank, broker or custodian with any procedural questions.

Survey: Fire and Water Leaks Worry Hong Kongers, But Nearly One-Quarter Embrace Optimism Bias, Over 70% See Importance, Yet 60% Stay Uninsured, Blue Cross Strengthens Awareness with Upgraded “HomeSafe Protection Plus”

By
Advertorial Desk
-

HONG KONG, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A “Hong Kong Home Insurance Survey[1]” conducted by Blue Cross (Asia-Pacific) Insurance Limited (“Blue Cross”) in February reveals a striking gap between awareness and action. While more than 70% of respondents recognise the importance of home insurance, nearly 60% of them remain uninsured. Tenants show particularly weak protection awareness, with over 80% lacking coverage – a situation that warrants close attention.

Awareness Without Action: A Critical Protection Gap

The survey finds that 71.5% of respondents are more concerned about home accident risks compared with last year, and 71.1% acknowledge the importance of home insurance. Yet 57.6% of those who deem it important have not purchased home insurance, while 77.7% have not bought fire insurance. This reflects a widespread “awareness without action” phenomenon, with many underestimating the heavy financial and emotional burden that accidents can bring.

Ms. Bonnie Tse, Chief Executive Officer of Blue Cross, remarked, “The survey reveals a clear gap between awareness and action on home insurance – primarily due to insufficient knowledge of coverage, concerns about premiums, and an inability to identify their protection needs. Blue Cross sees its role as a trusted guardian for customers, helping them choose the ‘Just Right’ coverage that best fits their budget, timing and specific requirements, bridging the protection gap and safeguarding every aspect of their daily lives.”

Tenants and Homeowners: Misconceptions Create Blind Spots

The survey shows widespread concern about such household risks as fire, third-party liability, typhoons, black rainstorms, and water leaks. Yet different groups hesitate for different reasons. Tenants have the weakest awareness, with 81% lacking home insurance. Among homeowners, 56.7% remain uninsured.

Ms. Sylvia Chow, Director of Marketing of Blue Cross, said, “Many tenants assume that without valuable items at home, insurance is unnecessary. In fact, home insurance covers not only household items, but also interior decorations and even items kept in mini-storage facilities. As for homeowners, some mistakenly believe that building insurance provides sufficient coverage, and some confuse fire insurance with home insurance, unaware of the differences in coverage. For Gen Z, it’s worth noting that the main barrier to purchasing home insurance is not premium cost, but a lack of understanding. Nearly 40% (36.5%) of this younger group cited ‘unclear coverage’ as their reason for not buying, highlighting a considerable knowledge gap among younger generations.”

Extended Coverage for Pet, Parking Space and Storage of Household Contents Largely Unknown

In fact, the survey reveals low awareness of the extended and optional benefits available under home insurance plans. 58.7% of respondents do not know that pet injury, death, and alternative accommodation costs can be covered; 58.8% are unaware of liability coverage for accidents involving parking spaces or electric vehicle chargers; and 51.5% do not know that items stored in mini-storage facilities can also be covered.

From “False Sense of Security” to “Peace of Mind”

Nearly one-quarter (23.8%) of respondents admit to optimism bias, believing that “It won’t happen to me”. Yet some acknowledge regret for not having purchased insurance after experiencing loss.

Ms. Tse said, “We hope Blue Cross can demonstrate the true value of home insurance – providing immediate support in the face of unexpected situations, helping customers cope with urgent needs and easing both financial and emotional burdens. In fact, nearly 70% (68.6%) of respondents agree that purchasing home insurance gives them peace of mind. We encourage the public to review their protection needs early and build a secure safety net for themselves and their families.”

HomeSafe Protection Plus: Comprehensive Upgraded Coverage for Every Home

In response to public concerns and pain points, Blue Cross announces the launch of the upgraded “HomeSafe Protection Plus” plan. The plan offers a range of extended coverage options and add-ons to flexibly meet diverse household needs, staying true to the brand’s commitment of “just right” offerings in terms of budget, timing and protection. Key features of the plan include:

  • Public Liability Coverage up to HK$20,000,000

  • Coverage for Home Contents up to HK$3,000,000 – Covers furniture, household appliances, and valuables inside the home, with coverage extended to household contents in the open area, such as washing machines and refrigerators.
  • Flexible Add-Ons – Optional benefits include building insurance (commonly known as “fire insurance”), parking space and electric vehicle charger protection.
  • Rainwater Seepage Coverage – Covers damage to home contents, including flooring and interior finishes, directly caused by rainwater seepage due to adverse weather conditions.
  • Cash Allowance – Covers damage to household contents stored in mini-storage facilities.
  • Alternative Accommodation and Meal Allowance, Accidental Death and Bodily Injury Allowance – Cover the insured, insured household and their pets.
  • Worldwide Coverage – Provides coverage for damage and loss of money, unauthorised use of credit cards, personal documents and specified electronic products (e.g. mobile phones, tablets, and laptop computers) due to accidents occurring anywhere in the world.
  • Eco-Friendly Coverage – Includes green living benefit that encourages use of energy-efficient household appliances, as well as extended liability coverage for solar energy generation systems.
  • Business Property Coverage for Work From Home – Covers accidental damage or loss of the employer’s property used for clerical work at home.

New “Just Right” Brand Campaign Fostering Community Engagement and Awareness

To tie in with the product launch, Blue Cross is rolling out a new brand campaign that reinforces its “Just Right” proposition for budget, timing, and protection while spotlighting its flagship products: home, travel, medical, motor, and domestic helper insurance.

Ms. Chow remarked, “The survey results reflect a general lack of public knowledge about general insurance products such as home insurance. As one of Hong Kong’s leading insurers specialising in medical and general insurance, Blue Cross has long been committed to public education to enhance awareness and understanding. Through the new advertising campaign, roadshows, social media games and tongue‑twister challenges, we aim to strengthen community engagement, making it easier for people to remember product coverage and features while raising overall protection awareness.”

As part of the campaign and public education initiative, Blue Cross has once again partnered with artist Aiden Hung, who appears as the brand character “Blue Cross Guardian Buddy” in a series of short videos. Aiden takes on five roles – Travel Buddy, Home Buddy, Domestic Helper Buddy, Car Buddy, and Medical Buddy – using a light-hearted and engaging approach to show how general insurance is closely connected to everyday life. 

Note:

1. The survey was commissioned by Blue Cross and conducted by an independent research firm via online questionnaire among 646 Hong Kong residents to understand their awareness, attitudes, and purchasing behaviour regarding home insurance.

MONTREAL, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — April 1, 2026 – Sydney, Australia

HIGHLIGHTS

  • ESIA Submission: PMET Resources (“PMET” or the “Company”) has submitted its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the Shaakichiuwaanaan CV5 Lithium Project, marking the most significant milestone in the Project’s permitting journey to date. The project is subject to both a provincial and federal impact assessment, both of which have been submitted for review by respective authorities.
  • Technical Foundation: The ESIA, together with the Feasibility Study released in October 2025, provides the comprehensive data required for government review of the Shaakichiuwaanaan Lithium Project. The ESIA submission marks the culmination of over four years of rigorous baseline data collection, technical evaluations, and extensive engagement with the Cree communities, local stakeholders, and government partners across all regulatory levels.
  • The ESIA encompasses a comprehensive multidisciplinary analysis covering:
    • Environmental Baseline Studies: air quality, water resources, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, soil and geology.
    • Indigenous consultation and engagement: extensive dialogue with the Cree Nation, cultural heritage and traditional land use.
    • Socio and economic assessment: impacts on employment, community infrastructure and supply chain benefits.
    • Cumulative Effects assessment: assessment of combined impacts with other projects in the region.
    • Climate and Greenhouse Gas Considerations: The climate resilience and accounting of total greenhouse gas emissions from the project is included.
    • Impact mitigation and management: detailed strategies to minimize environmental and social effects

Grace Barrasso, PMET EVP of ESG and Corporate Affairs, commented: “The submission of this ESIA represents the culmination of years of rigorous scientific field work and meaningful dialogue with our Cree partners. Our goal is to develop Shaakichiuwaanaan as a model for sustainable critical mineral extraction in North America, ensuring that the environmental and social values of the Eeyou Istchee are protected while contributing to the global energy transition.”

Ken Brinsden, PMET CEO and President, stated: “Moving from discovery to a formal ESIA submission and a completed Feasibility Study in roughly four years is a testament to the quality and scale of Shaakichiuwaanaan and the dedication of our team. Congratulations to our team and external advisors for their contributions to our premier project, creating a strong platform for our continuing engagement with the Cree and regulators as our project continues down the development pipeline.”

PMET RESOURCES INC. (THE “COMPANY” OR “PMET”) (TSX: PMET) (ASX: PMT) (OTCQX: PMETF) (FSE: R9GA) is pleased to announce the submission of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for its 100%-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Lithium Project, located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec.

The ESIA is a critical regulatory requirement under Section 22 of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA). Concurrently with the provincial submission, PMET will also be submitting the ESIA to the federal Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC). THESE SUBMISSIONS, alongside the Positive CV5 Lithium-Only Feasibility Study delivered in late 2025, forms the dual pillars of the government’s mine authorization process. Together, these documents detail the technical viability, environmental safeguards, and social integration of the proposed hybrid open-pit and underground mine.

LOOKING AHEAD

Following submission of the ESIA, the Federal government will initiate a public review period to invite comments from communities, regulators and project stakeholders. The report will be available on the Shaakichiuwaaan Mining Project Page published on the Canadian Impact Assessment Registry at: https://iaac-aeic.gc.ca and Québec portals.

The Company remains committed to maintaining a transparent and timely approval process, working closely with all levels of government and the Cree Nation to bring this world-class lithium asset into production over the coming years.

ABOUT PMET RESOURCES INC.

PMET Resources Inc. is a pegmatite critical mineral exploration and development company focused on advancing its district-scale 100%-owned Shaakichiuwaanaan Property located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, which is accessible year-round by all-season road and proximal to regional hydro-power infrastructure.

In late 2025, the Company announced a positive lithium-only Feasibility Study on the CV5 Pegmatite for the Shaakichiuwaanaan Property and declared a maiden Mineral Reserve of 84.3 Mt at 1.26% Li2O (Probable)1. The study outlines the potential for a competitive and globally significant high-grade lithium project targeting up to ~800 ktpa spodumene concentrate using a simple Dense Media Separation (“DMS”) only process flowsheet. Further, the results highlight Shaakichiuwaanaan as a potential North American critical mineral powerhouse with significant opportunity for tantalum and caesium in addition to lithium.

_______________________________

1 See Feasibility Study news release dated October 20, 2025. Probable Mineral Reserve cut-off grade is 0.40% Li2O (open-pit) and 0.70% Li2O (underground). Underground development and open-pit marginal tonnage containing material above 0.37% Li2O are also included in the statement. Effective Date of September 11, 2025.

The Project hosts a Consolidated Mineral Resource2 totalling 108.0 Mt at 1.40% Li2O and 166 ppm Ta2O5 (Indicated) and 33.4 Mt at 1.33% Li2O and 155 ppm Ta2O5 (Inferred), and ranks as a top ten lithium pegmatite globally in size. Additionally, the Project hosts the world’s largest pollucite-hosted caesium pegmatite Mineral Resource at the Rigel and Vega zones with 0.69 Mt at 4.40% Cs2O (Indicated), and 1.70 Mt at 2.40% Cs2O (Inferred).

______________________________

2 The Consolidated MRE (CV5 + CV13 pegmatites), which includes the Rigel and Vega caesium zones, totals 108.0 Mt at 1.40% Li2O, 0.11% Cs2O, 166 ppm Ta2O5, and 66 ppm Ga, Indicated, and 33.4 Mt at 1.33% Li2O, 0.21% Cs2O, 155 ppm Ta2O5, and 65 ppm Ga, Inferred, and is reported at a cut-off grade of 0.40% Li2O (open-pit), 0.60% Li2O (underground CV5), and 0.70% Li2O (underground CV13). A grade constraint of 0.50% Cs2O was used to model the Rigel and Vega caesium zones. The Effective Date is June 20, 2025 (through drill hole CV24-787). Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

4,000 Youths Find a Home with Zero Cost in Gui’an

GUIZHOU, China, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from Discover Guizhou:

 

4,000 Youths Find a Home with Zero Cost in Gui’an

In the heart of central Guizhou, the Guian New Area, an emerging tech hub tied to China’s national development strategy, is undergoing rapid transformation. Data flows at scale while cutting-edge technologies are gaining momentum. Smart and efficient living is becoming the norm. The Guian Encounters series explores this dynamic region, offering a closer look at Guizhou’s journey toward Chinese-style modernization. One such story begins inside a rather extraordinary factory.

Just graduated, with zero rent? Ready to move in with just your luggage? Is there really such a “magical opportunity”?

In 2025, Gui’an New District in Guizhou completed two youth communities—Anchao • Yunlan and Anchao • Xingyao—and innovatively launched a “free housing” policy for talent. Eligible recent college graduates can live rent-free for one year. So far, seven batches of housing units have been successfully released, providing a “home” for over 4,000 young people.

“I had some bad experiences renting before, but here I feel secure. The room is well-decorated and fully furnished, and it’s close to the subway station, which is very convenient.” After graduating, Wu Lei became one of the first residents of the Anchao • Yunlan community. The community offers fully furnished and smart-equipped apartments, with shared amenities such as laundry rooms, gyms, and study rooms all available. The first year of free rent significantly eases the housing pressure on young people.

With a stable place to live, they gain more confidence to pursue their dreams. Now working as a freelance photographer, Wu Lei travels across Guizhou for his work. In his spare time, he actively takes photos for community events, capturing life through his lens.

“As the new district develops, more young talents need to settle here. There has to be someone serving the community, and I thought if I could take on that role, it would make me feel more involved in society.” After moving in, the enthusiastic Tan Shengshun voluntarily took on the role of an apartment manager, assisting with check-ins and providing 24/7 online support. Every bit of trust and gratitude from residents fills him with a sense of fulfillment. For him, this is not only his “home” but also a “big family” where he works and strives. “We’re all young people, so we understand each other better. From small suggestions to organizing events, we can discuss and decide things ourselves, giving us a real sense of ownership.”

The youth community innovatively implementsa “dual-triangle” governance model: an “inner triangle” formed by young people serving as building leaders, apartment managers, and dedicated grid workers, allowing them to manage themselves; and an “outer triangle” consisting of community police officers, medical staff, and comprehensive law enforcement personnel acting as “part-time grid workers,” together with “dedicated grid workers” and the local community “grid leader,” providing strong support. Through internal and external collaboration, governance here is no longer just management but a vibrant, youth-driven co-creation.

“When I first moved here, I wasn’t familiar with Gui’an, but the community organized a ‘Explore Gui’an’ event, which instantly gave me a sense of belonging.” The lively Yan Liting often participates in community activities such as mural painting, coffee salons, and night school training. After living here for over a year, the community has become her social hub, a place for growth, and a warm harbor.”The community mural features my cat. I’ve had hotpot in Building 15, played Werewolf in Building 19, and visited dogs in Building 18…I have friends in every building here, and every day spent with everyone is joyful.”

Centered on the service system of “housing + employment + growth,” the community collaborates with universities in Huaxi University Town, vocational colleges in Qingzhen Vocational Education City, and leading enterprises in the new district. It regularly organizes vocational training, cultural night schools, and other activities, ensuring “weekly courses, monthly events, and quarterly themes,” providing comprehensive resources for young people’s daily lives, studies, and work. Here, young talents not only settle down and make friends but also broaden their horizons, enhance their skills, and grow personally.

From “free housing” meeting basic needs, to the “dual-triangle” model energizing governance, and then to all-round growth support—this “housing package” is filled not only with the warmth of policy but also with the sincerity of the city: an invitation to you, to chase dreams together in Gui’an.
