STEINHAUSEN, SWITZERLAND – EQS Newswire – 22 August 2022 – Terraoil Swiss AG, an energy company with a strong focus on the Mediterranean is pleased to announce that preparations for a new holding structure have commenced which is expected to provide equal benefits to all shareholders.

After successfully receiving the ruling from the Swiss tax authorities, to support the transaction for all shareholders, as well the engagement of auditors in Liechtenstein we are happy to announce the completion of the first step. The new structure involves the establishment of a new holding company (Topco) in which all shareholders will be provided the opportunity to exchange their shares in Terraoil Swiss AG (TOS) for shares in Topco.

Upon successful completion of the share exchange the shareholders of TOS will become shareholders of Topco and it is the objective that Topco will finally own 100% of the shares in TOS. Shareholders will have the same ownership percentage in Topco as they held in TOS. The restructuring involves no transfer of assets into or out of TOS and TOS will remain the owner of the Petroleum Agreement for the Visoka field in Albania. Shareholders will be provided with further details about the next steps in due time.

Chief Executive Officer, Peter Krempin commented:

“We have been preparing the Company for the international financial markets since 2018. Macroeconomic factors delayed our plans but not our planning. We have now proceeded with the establishment of our new top holding company in Liechtenstein, a neighbouring country with financial markets embedded in the European Economic Area (EEA). The new structure will provide benefits to Swiss and international investors which we believe will assist the Company in realizing its financial and operational objectives.”

More than 80% of Shopee’s Sellers Are Building Consumer Loyalty With Value Beyond Price

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 22 August 2022 – A new study of over 3,300 buyers and 2,100 sellers across Malaysia by online marketplace platform Shopee on its users, examines the impact Malaysians are making on the economy through their continued online shopping behaviours. Celebrating the Heart of Malaysia on E-Commerce marketplace survey from 19 July to 17 August in 2022, found that for four in ten local sellers, Shopee is their only business channel in this economy.

The timely study highlights the importance of income generated online. 45% of Shopee’s community of sellers surveyed concede that it enables them to support their family (providing for living essentials, education, lifestyle), about 26% save and invest this income for rainy days ahead, and the remainder use it to sustain a better quality of life, keep staff employed, and enhance their personal development.

More than eight in ten participating sellers attribute the long-term success of their store not to discounts offered, but to locally tailored shopping experiences: ‘Very straightforward buying and fulfilment process’ on Shopee (34%), the recognition of Made in Malaysia products as affordable and of high quality (23%), great customer service (19%) and optimised storefront with Shopee’s marketing tools (9%).

“Celebrating the Heart of Malaysia on E-Commerce survey underscores how Malaysian sellers continue to succeed and build financial security by selling on online marketplaces like Shopee. It’s important for business owners to understand that Malaysian shoppers do have motivations beyond price for shopping online. They can create more loyalty and engagement simply by matching their offerings and content with buyer values,” said Kenneth Soh, Head of Marketing Campaigns at Shopee Malaysia.

One of the clearest findings of this study is that despite the reopening of the economy, nine in ten Malaysian shoppers still prefer online shopping. In fact, more than half of shoppers on the platform have adopted online shopping more permanently: 21% feel it is now a habit, 17% say they can easily find readily available stocks online, and 14% want to access choices that are not available offline in their specific location. 43% of shoppers value shopping around online to compare prices in this inflationary environment.

Getting items delivered faster is the strongest reason for Malaysian buyers to shop from local sellers (42% of buyers). 20% feel strongly about supporting Made in Malaysia goods to keep the economy running in Malaysia, 19% have preferences for locally tailored products and 11% believe in the quality of locally sourced and made goods.

Not all shoppers prioritise discounts and vouchers exclusively. In fact, seven in ten Malaysian buyers equate peace of mind with online shopping with Shopee. 40% express this as ‘the convenience and flexibility of having parcels delivered to my doorstep’. 17% feel safer as ‘Shopee Guarantee ensures my transaction is safe and secure because money is not released to the seller until I confirm receipt’ and 10% study reviews and pictures left by other customers.

The study, which will be shared in more detail on 25 August 2022, also dives deep into key learnings about how much Malaysian shoppers save online, the role of these savings given the current economic environment, and what drives their seller preference. Findings can be utilised by businesses to build long-term loyalty with consumers. Shopee Malaysia’s ‘Celebrating the Heart of Malaysia on E-Commerce’ is the first in a series and will be built upon in the coming months.

Marking a dynamic new growth phase built on foundation of 3-decade heritage

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 22 August 2022 – Hantec Group today unveiled a global rebranding campaign and renewed growth strategy to direct the Group’s next phase of dynamic development. Hantec Group also announces that a new branch company will be established in Santiago, Chile in South America on 1 October 2022, marking another milestone in the Group’s global journey. The rebranding exercise includes a new corporate identity which will be adopted across the Hantec financial, as well as IT, culture & art, and lifestyle consultancy businesses in 19 markets worldwide.

“Aligning with Hantec Group’s global development and mindset, we have redesigned our corporate logo which we have used for 32 years. The new identity retains the signature Red as the dominant colour,” said Freddy Lau Hoi-kit, chief executive officer of Hantec Group. “Red is bold, impactful but warm, and has always been a core part of the Hantec personality. New visual elements of angles and rounded corners give our brand a dynamic and confident new look.”

The combination of a bold design with its legacy DNA represents an updating of the Hantec identity to resonate with new audiences globally. While the 67.5° dynamic angle symbolises Hantec’s forward-thinking and drive to power ahead in the ever-changing marketplace, it also signifies a commitment to ‘doing the right thing the right way’. As Hantec challenges the status quo, it carefully weighs all influencing factors, and utilises its knowledge to arrive at informed business decisions.

The Group was founded in Hong Kong in 1990 as a finance house, and has since grown into a global presence now operating in 19 cities. “In addition to our development in South America, our next phase of growth will also focus on Southeast Asian markets, with a pipeline of business developments in Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines under the Hantec Financial brand. Subsequent to the rebranding campaign launch, a series of sponsorship and marketing initiatives will be unveiled in Hong Kong and globally,” Mr Lau added.

The Group looks forward to pressing ahead with its dynamic cross-sector growth journey into its next development phase.
