State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company: Supporting the Street Vending Economy and Enhancing Community Livelihoods

XUZHOU, China, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company is proactively addressing the developmental needs of street vending by implementing targeted power protection measures. These initiatives aim to ensure both the safety and orderliness of street vending operations through professional services. To facilitate this, the company has organized a specialized team to conduct door-to-door visits and inspections of temporary stalls. The focus has been on identifying issues such as aging socket lines and haphazard wiring that could pose significant safety hazards. Notably, in areas with a high concentration of electrical equipment—such as barbecue stalls and iced drink vendors—leakage protection switches have been installed on-site to establish a robust defense against electrical risks from a hardware standpoint. Throughout the inspection process, staff not only promptly addressed identified hazards but also provided tailored professional advice to vendors based on their specific circumstances. This included reminders to keep electrical power strips away from water sources and recommendations for standardizing wiring practices for high-power equipment, effectively mitigating risks at an early stage.

In response to the awareness deficiency exhibited by certain vendors who prioritize business operations over safety, the company has intensified its efforts in safety education and public outreach. Considering the unique characteristics of electricity usage during the summer months, practical knowledge such as “Do not touch electrical appliances with wet hands” and “Disconnect the main switch promptly when closing your stall” has been disseminated among vendors through case studies, interactive Q&A sessions, and other engaging formats. Additionally, an “Electricity Safety Guide” was distributed to assist vendors in systematically mastering essential safe electricity practices while gradually enhancing their awareness of necessary precautions. To ensure efficient service responses, State Grid Xuzhou Power Supply Company has concurrently established a WeChat group dedicated to electricity usage services, facilitating 24-hour online support for merchants’ needs. Whether addressing sudden circuit failures or providing daily electricity consultations, stall owners can swiftly communicate their concerns via the WeChat group. The staff will promptly follow up on these issues, thereby creating a closed-loop service model characterized by early detection of potential hazards and rapid problem resolution. This initiative allows rural street stall owners to experience reliable power services while operating with peace of mind, thus injecting sustained momentum into the robust development of the street stall economy.

CMC REIT Announces 2025 Interim Results

Demand in Core Areas Remains

Garden City’s Operations Continue to Improve

HONG KONG, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — China Merchants Commercial Real Estate Investment Trust (“CMC REIT” or “the Trust”, HKEX stock code:1503), announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2025.

During the period, the rental income was RMB195.7 million, a decrease of 17.9% when compared to last year. The revenue reached RMB225.0 million, which decreased 15.5% compared to last year. During the period, the distribution per Unit to Unitholders was HK$0.0558 (equivalent to RMB0.0509). Based on the closing unit price of HK$1.23 on 30 June 2025, this represents an annual distribution yield of 9.1%.

As at 30 June 2025, net assets attributable to Unitholders amounted to RMB2,996 million or RMB2.66 per Unit, equivalent to HKD2.92 per Unit (“NAV per Unit”) based on central parity rate as announced by the People’s Bank on 30 June 2025. The closing unit price of HKD1.23 on 30 June 2025 represented a 57.9% discount to the NAV per Unit.

Business Performance
During the period, the aggregate occupancy rate of the entire property portfolio decreased from 90.6% to 84.5%, representing an overall decrease of 6.1 percentage points. Substantial lease terminations in Technology Building 2 and New Times Plaza caused our average occupancy rate for offices to decrease from 89.8% to 81.2%. The occupancy rate of Garden City Shopping Centre continued to rise, increasing by 4.7 percentage points to 98.2%.

While office vacancy rates in Beijing have remained elevated due to persistent oversupply, Onward Science & Trade Center applied the strategy of prioritizing occupancy over rental rates to maintain high occupancy, successfully achieved a rebound in occupancy rates in the second quarter. As the oversupply situation in Shenzhen is more severe, our other Grade-A office, New Times Plaza has seen a decrease in both occupancy and rent rate. The occupancy rate at Garden City continues to climb, though current rental prices have experienced a slight decline.

New Times Plaza
There has been no appreciable improvement in the Shenzhen Grade-A office market. In this challenging environment, New Times Plaza’s passing rent decreased by RMB 5.2/sq.m to RMB 144.6/sq.m. The expiration of a sizable lease in the first half of 2025 then led the occupancy rate to drop from 74.1% at year-end 2024 to 56.4%.

Under the influence of the downturn of the Shenzhen Grade-A office market and a material drop in both occupancy and passing rent, New Times Plaza’s valuation decreased by RMB20 million to RMB1,885 million as of 30 June 2025.

Cyberport Building, Technology Building and Technology Building 2

During the period, the occupancy rate and passing rent of our Grade-B properties in the Net Valley (Technology Building, Technology Building 2, and Cyberport Building) have also weakened, but to a lesser extent.

As a result of several lease expires at Cyberport Building, its occupancy rate decreased by 5 percentage points to 86.3%, while its passing rent decreased to RMB127.0/sq.m. Technology Building’s occupancy rate decreased to 97.4% but its passing rent increased by RMB3.0/sq.m to RMB142.6/sq.m compared to the end of last year. The occupancy rate of Technology Building 2 dropped by 10.3 percentage points to 89.5%, while its passing rent decreased by RMB2.4/sq.m to RMB120.9/sq.m as compared to the end of last year. In terms of valuation, Technology Building’s valuation increased by RMB5 million to RMB947 million due to its higher passing rent. The valuations of Technology Building 2 and Cyberport Building decreased by 1% and 1.9%, respectively.

Onward Science & Trade Cente
Due to the intense competition among Grade-A offices in Beijing, to boost occupancy, Onward Science & Trade Center has been prioritizing occupancy over rental rates. In exchange its occupancy recovered to 92.2%, which was almost the same as at the end of last year. This strategy resulted in a downward adjustment to its passing rent, which fell by 16% to RMB 219.3/sq.m.

As a result of the decrease in market rent in Beijing and the shortening duration of Onward Science & Trade Center’s land lease, the valuation of this property decreased by RMB101 million to RMB2,411 million.

Garden City Shopping Centre
Operations at Garden City Shopping Centre have continued to improve, and its occupancy rate increased by 4.7 percentage points to 98.2%. Various operations performance, such as foot traffic, the number of active loyalty program members, and tenants’ sales, all indicate that the mall has been performing well. However, as it approached full occupancy by leasing out its residual below-average-rent spaces, its average passing rent fell to RMB121.7/sq.m. Competition for retail tenants will be intense in the future, and we will adopt marketing strategies to align with the latest market trends as they evolve. The valuation of Garden City Shopping Centre as of 30 June 2025 was RMB1,465 million, representing a decrease of RMB21 million.

Outlook
Looking ahead to the second half of the year, China’s economy will continue to face challenges arising from a complex and volatile external environment and weak domestic demand. However, with the continuing implementation of industrial policies and the gradual unlocking of consumption potential, the economy is expected to maintain a stable growth trajectory. The prospects of different commercial real estate markets is expected to vary, with core areas supported by industrial development likely to stabilize first. At the policy level, targeted adjustments will continue to be implemented, seeking a balance that delivers stable growth at minimal risk.

Moving forward, the Company will continue to actively seek opportunities to optimize costs, in particular interest expenses. In January this year, the Company completed a refinancing of RMB4.1 billion, reducing the overall financial costs of CMC REIT by 37 basis points to 2.8%. the Company will also seek more high-quality and diversified asset classes for investment in Greater China, including student residences and serviced apartments, which have stronger anticyclical capabilities, to further diversify the asset portfolio and income sources of CMC REIT and achieve long-term sustainable growth in the distribution per unit to Unitholders.

Business Updates】

1. Key Clinical Assets

ATG-022 (CLDN18.2 Antibody-Drug Conjugate)

  • Updated Data from the Ongoing Phase I/II CLINCH Study: ATG-022 demonstrated significant clinical efficacy and a favorable safety profile in patients with gastric/gastro-esophageal junction adenocarcinoma across high, low, and ultra-low CLDN18.2 expression levels. In patients with moderate-to-high CLDN18.2 expression (IHC 2+ > 20%), the 2.4 mg/kg dose cohort achieved an objective response rate (ORR) of 40% (12/30), including 1 complete response (CR), with a disease control rate (DCR) of 90% (27/30), a median progression-free survival (mPFS) of 6.97 months, a 6-month PFS rate of 51.1%, a 9-month overall survival (OS) rate of 82.7%, and a 12-month OS rate of 66.2%. The 1.8 mg/kg dose cohort achieved an ORR of 40% (10/25), including 1 CR, and a DCR of 84% (21/25). Low and ultra-low CLDN18.2 expressors (IHC 2+ ≤ 20%) who were treated at the efficacious dose range of 1.8-2.4 mg/kg achieved an ORR of 33.3% (6/18), including 1 CR, and a DCR of 50% (9/18). To date, three patients in the study have achieved CR during treatment, with one case of CR observed in each of the three cohorts (i.e., both dose levels in the CLDN18.2 moderate-to-high expressor cohorts and the CLDN18.2 low and ultra-low expressor cohort).
  • Breakthrough Therapy Designation: ATG-022 was granted a Breakthrough Therapy designation by the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) for the treatment of patients with CLDN18.2-positive, HER2-negative unresectable or metastatic gastric or gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma who have received at least two prior lines of therapy.
  • Advancing Clinical Development in Gastric Cancer Across First- to Third-Line Settings: Antengene is currently conducting a Phase II dose-expansion study of ATG-022 in the Mainland of China and Australia. The company will continue to advance the clinical development of ATG-022 in gastric cancer in first- to third-line settings, including first-line treatment with ATG-022 in combination with pembrolizumab and chemotherapy (CAPOX/FOLFOX); second-line treatment with ATG-022 in combination with pembrolizumab; and third-line treatment with ATG-022 monotherapy. This strategy covers patients with a wide spectrum of CLDN18.2 expression levels, including moderate-to-high expressors (2+ >20%) and low and ultra-low expressors (2+ ≤20%). In addition, the ongoing clinical study includes a basket trial cohort including multiple tumor types. In preliminary data from patients with a certain subtype of gynecologic tumor, all 7 evaluable patients achieved tumor shrinkage, indicating significant clinical potential of ATG-022 in other CLDN18.2-positive tumors. Currently, this cohort continues to enroll patients.

ATG-037 (Oral CD73 Small Molecule Inhibitor)

  • Updated Data from the Ongoing Phase I/II STAMINA Study: Following the initiation of a global clinical collaboration with MSD, Antengene is evaluating ATG-037 in combination with the anti-PD-1 therapy KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in patients with checkpoint inhibitor (CPI)-resistant melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). As of July 24, 2025, data from 25 evaluable patients (11 with melanoma and 14 with NSCLC) showed an ORR of 28% (7/25) and a DCR of 84% (21/25). The melanoma subgroup with majority of patients with double resistance to both anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies demonstrated particularly notable efficacy, with an ORR of 36.4%, a DCR of 100%, including 1 CR and 3 partial responses (PRs). In the NSCLC subgroup, the ORR was 21.4%, the DCR was 71.4%, including 3 PRs. It is worth noting that the responses demonstrated impressive durability, with 1 patient in CR demonstrated durable response and has been on the trial for over 32 months, 2 patients with durable PR and has been on the trial for over 15 months, and 1 patient with stable disease (SD) has been on the trial for over 28 months. These data highlight the durable antitumor activity of this combination regimen in CPI-resistant patients. The Phase II STAMINA dose optimization and dose expansion study is currently progressing smoothly in China and Australia.

ATG-031 (CD24-targeting macrophage activator)

  • Ongoing PERFORM study: ATG-031 is the first-in-class humanized anti-CD24 monoclonal antibody that has entered clinical trials for cancer treatment in the U.S. ATG-031 works by blocking the CD24-Siglec10 pathway and enhancing macrophage-mediated phagocytosis of cancer cells. Key study sites of ATG-031 include MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), University of Colorado, and Yale Cancer Center, four renowned cancer centers in the U.S. The Phase I PERFORM study is progressing in the U.S.

  • A TCE Platform Featuring Steric Hindrance Masking: AnTenGager™ TCE is a proprietary “2+1” TCE technology platform featuring “2+1” bivalent binding for low-expressing targets, steric hindrance masking, and proprietary CD3 sequences with fast on/off kinetics to minimize cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and enhance efficacy. These characteristics support the platform’s broad applicability across autoimmune diseases, solid tumors and hematological malignancies indications. Antengene is seeking a range of collaborations with its global partners for AnTenGager™ TCE, through platform access, co-development, and out-licensing to accelerate the development of TCE therapeutics and maximize the value of the technology platform.
  • ATG-201 (CD19 x CD3 TCE): ATG-201 is a novel “2+1” CD19-targeted T-cell engager developed on the AnTenGagerTM TCE platform for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. Preclinical data showed that in NHP models, the repeated dosing of ATG-201 surrogate at 1mpk, 3mpk, and 6mpk dose levels was well tolerated and associated with very low cytokine release. Furthermore, this surrogate antibody can mediate complete B cell depletion in peripheral blood, spleen and lymph nodes. ATG-201 is poised to enter clinical development in the second half of 2025.
  • Antengene will continue to advance the development of other preclinical programs, including ATG-106 (CDH6 x CD3 TCE) for the treatment of ovarian cancer and kidney cancer, ATG-110 (LY6G6D x CD3 TCE) for the treatment of microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer, and ATG-112 (ALPPL2 x CD3 TCE) for the treatment of gynecologic tumors and lung cancer.

3. Commercialized Product

GS1 HK’s Food Safety Forum 2025 Concludes Successfully Industry Accelerates Digital Transformation Towards a Greener Future

HONG KONG, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Organised by GS1 Hong Kong, the 11th Food Safety Forum concluded successfully today, bringing together around 300 professionals from the food and beverage sector (F&B) to discuss the pressing issues about “Digitalisation for Food Safety in the Green Era”. Ms. Irene Young, Permanent Secretary for Environment and Ecology (Food) of the HKSAR Government, kick-started the event as the Guest of Honour. Mr. Anthony Li, Deputy Secretary for Environment and Ecology (Food) of the HKSAR Government, Hon. Peter Shiu, Legislative Councilor (Wholesale and Retail) and Dr. Christine Wong, Controller of Centre for Food Safety of the HKSAR Government were also on-site as Award Presenters to give out a total of 36 commendations to 28 outstanding companies under the “Quality Food Scheme”.

Sustainable Development in the F&B Industry

A joint survey released last year by GS1 HK and KPMG China revealed that 89% of consumers prefer brands with clear sustainability commitments. Among them, 65% are willing to pay a premium for sustainable products[1], underscoring the growing demand for low-carbon and environmentally friendly goods.

The guest of honour of the event, Ms. Irene Young, remarked in her opening speech, “Hong Kong’s rigorous food safety system, extensive international trade network, and privileged access to the mainland market under the CEPA framework, have endowed our city with outstanding potential to serve as the region’s leading food trade centre. Barcode technology, which is integral to the food supply chain, will take on an even more important role as a result. I hope the industry will seize the opportunities and work together to expand markets for Hong Kong’s safe, high-quality foods, and share the ‘good stories of Hong Kong‘ through our good food.”

“Green & Digital Transformation” Reinvents the Future of Food Safety

Ms. Betty Leung, GS1 HK Board Member and Vice-Chairlady of GS1 HK’s Food & Beverage Industry Advisory Board, highlighted that “go green” and “go digital” are the key for the industry to address global climate challenges, supply chain restructure, and evolving consumer trends. “By using technologies like big data, IoT and artificial intelligence, we can reduce carbon emissions at the source, promote circular economy, and provide credible ‘green claims’ for products. This helps our industry to shift from reactive food safety management to proactive, preventive smart approaches, ushering in a new era of innovation.”

She added that product digitisation is vital to enhance consumer experience, support food safety, increase transparency, traceability, and promote sustainable development. The adoption of QR Code with GS1 standards enables comprehensive tracking of products’ life cycle – from sourcing of raw materials, through production and logistics, to sales, recycling and final disposal. By embedding QR codes with batch numbers and expiry dates on packaging, retailers can ensure product freshness at checkout, preventing the sale of expired goods for strengthened food safety, reduced waste, and supporting effective recall management. These measures form the foundation of a “farm to table” traceability system, reinforcing consumer confidence.

Best Practices: “Quality Food Scheme” Driving Industry Progress

Senior executives from Café de Coral Group, DCH International Holdings, Lee Kum Kee International Holdings, Loscam (Greater China) Holdings, Maxim’s Caterers, Million Group HK, Nestlé Hong Kong and Sun Generation shared their insights at the Forum, exploring how global standards and emerging technologies such as data analytics and artificial intelligence are driving food safety, transparency of product information, sustainable operations, and circular economy initiatives.

The “Quality Food Scheme ESG” launched last year recognised 18 companies in 2025. They are assessed mainly in accordance with GS1 Global Traceability Standard (GTS), MSCI ESG Indexes[2] and United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs)[3] etc., encouraging businesses to put ESG into practices while upholding food safety and traceability. In addition, another 18 companies are honored under the “Quality Food Scheme” and “Quality Food Scheme+.” Please refer to appendix for the awardee list, and visit www.gs1hk.org/zh-hk/quality-food-scheme for details of Schemes.

Ms. Anna Lin, Chief Executive of GS1 HK, noted, “Despite today’s challenges in the F&B industry, many companies continue to champion food safety and sustainable development — demonstrated by their active participation in our ‘Quality Food Scheme’. GS1 HK will continue to bring together the industry, government, consumers and other ecosystem stakeholders, driving industry innovation and knowledge sharing that raise local food safety standards for a sustainable future.”
