AZI’s Controlling Shareholder Fulfills Early Investment Commitment with $7 Million Fund Transfer. Further commits joint investors to invest $110 Million Investment at $1.3 Per Share to Bolster Liquidity

BEIJING, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Autozi Internet Technology (Global) Ltd. (Nasdaq: AZI) (“Autozi” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company’s controlling shareholder has fulfilled its previous commitment by injecting $7 million, with all funds now fully received. This confirms that the funds have been successfully transferred, completing the controlling shareholder’s early investment commitment.  Concurrently, the controlling shareholder and co-investors have further demonstrated strong support for the Company’s development by jointly pledging an additional investment of approximately $110 million at a price of $1.30 per share, based on the current undervalued market price, dedicated to supplementing the Company’s liquidity and accelerating its strategic expansion.

Relative to the current secondary market trading price, the pricing of this proposed additional investment reflects the controlling shareholder’s strong recognition of and confidence in the Company’s long-term value, sending a clear and positive signal to the capital markets.

$7 Million Funds Received: Strengthening Operational Foundation
The Company stated that the received $7 million will be prioritized to ensure operational continuity, maintain and expand core business activities, and improve short-term working capital conditions. This timely capital injection provides necessary financial buffer for the Company to navigate industry cyclical fluctuations, supply chain adjustments, and macroeconomic uncertainties, ensuring stable operations and sustained service quality in core business segments.

Proposed $110 Million Additional Investment: Strategic Intent and Clear Deployment Pathways
Building upon the received funds, the controlling shareholder and co-investors has further proposed an additional investment of approximately $110 million at a price of $1.30 per share. Should this proposed investment proceed and be completed following the Company’s necessary internal procedures and regulatory approvals, it is expected to deliver systematic enhancements across the following strategic dimensions:

1. Significantly Supplementing Liquidity Reserves, Enhancing Financial Safety Margin
The injection of $110 million will substantially elevate the Company’s cash reserve levels and strengthen its liquidity safety cushion, providing greater financial resilience and risk resistance as the automotive aftermarket faces intensifying competition, supply chain cost fluctuations, and macroeconomic uncertainties.

  • Supporting high-potential business segments: Concentrating resources on regional markets and specialized business lines with strong profitability and growth potential to create new engines for medium-to-long-term performance growth.

3. Optimizing Capital Structure, Enhancing Financial Flexibility and Shareholder Return Potential
As equity-based capital, the proposed investment is expected to reduce the Company’s reliance on interest-bearing debt, optimize its asset-liability structure, and improve financial leverage levels. A more robust capital structure will provide greater flexibility for potential future mergers and acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and further capital market activities, while laying the groundwork for enhanced long-term shareholder returns.

4. Strengthening Market Confidence, Enhancing Supply Chain Negotiating Power
The controlling shareholder’s commitment to a substantial additional investment at a price above current secondary market levels demonstrates strong confidence in the Company’s future prospects. This move is expected to:

  • Enhance recognition of the Company’s long-term value among capital markets and investment institutions;
  • Improve the Company’s credit rating and negotiating power with supply chain partners, financial institutions, and business clients;
  • Provide more adequate and stable financial support and reputational endorsement for the orderly implementation of the Company’s medium-to-long-term development strategy.

Controlling Shareholder and Co-Investors’ Continued Commitment: A Dual Expression of Strategic Confidence and Governance Support
AZI’s management stated that the proposal from the controlling shareholder and co-investors for a substantial $110 million additional investment, following the full fulfillment of early commitments, fully demonstrates long-term trust in and strong conviction regarding AZI’s business model, strategic direction, and management team’s execution capabilities. This proposed investment represents not merely financial support but strategic-level recognition of the Company’s development path.

The Company believes this continued commitment from the controlling shareholder sends critical signals to the market:

  • Long-term confidence in intrinsic value: Pricing above current secondary market trading prices reflects the controlling shareholder’s independent judgment and steadfast position on the Company’s true value;
  • Sustained support for development strategy: Funds designated specifically for liquidity supplementation and business expansion directly target accelerated implementation of the Company’s core strategic direction;
  • Full trust in governance and management team: Consecutive capital injections indicate strong recognition of the existing management team’s execution capabilities and governance standards.

10 Years After AlphaGo, Lee Sedol Returns to Launch the Era of Agentic AI

– Go grandmaster demonstrates the future of human and AI collaboration at the site of the historic AlphaGo match as Enhans unveils its multi agent AI OS

SEOUL, South Korea, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Enhans, an enterprise Agentic AI company led by CEO Seung-hyun Lee, announced the beginning of a new era of human and AI collaboration during a live event held today at the Four Seasons Hotel Seoul alongside Go grandmaster Lee Sedol.

10 Years After AlphaGo, Lee Sedol Returns to Launch the Era of Agentic AI
10 Years After AlphaGo, Lee Sedol Returns to Launch the Era of Agentic AI

The event took place at the same venue where Lee Sedol faced DeepMind’s AlphaGo in 2016. Marking the tenth anniversary of that historic match, Enhans presented a new narrative for artificial intelligence under the message “The Age of Agentic AI.” While the original match symbolized competition between humans and machines, the new demonstration showed how AI can evolve into a collaborative partner capable of understanding human intent and executing complex work.

The highlight of the event was a live demonstration in which Lee Sedol collaborated directly with Enhans’ AI agents on stage. Using only voice commands, Lee worked with the Enhans AI OS to reconstruct a Go model in real time and then played a match against the newly generated system.

Enhans also demonstrated how its multi agent architecture enables AI to execute complex workflows autonomously. With a single voice command, the AI OS distributed tasks across specialized agents responsible for real time web research, planning, coding, and deployment.

Rather than relying on a single model, the Enhans AI OS operates through multiple specialized agents that collaborate to solve problems. When a user issues a request, the system interprets the intent and assigns tasks to agents responsible for ontology reasoning, planning, and computer execution.

For example, a request such as researching competitors’ products, prices, and specifications and generating a comparison report can trigger coordinated activity across the Computer Using Agent (CUA), ontology agents, and planning agents. This process demonstrates how business workflows can be executed autonomously without manual coding or complex system manipulation.

The AI OS presented during the event represents Enhans’ full vision of a unified multi agent system designed for collaborative execution. While the architecture continues to evolve, many of its core capabilities including web search, commerce automation, planning, design, and coding are already operational and integrated into the company’s Commerce OS platform.

The event was officially sponsored by Anthropic, NVIDIA, and Microsoft and was broadcast globally through a live YouTube stream.

Lee Sedol shared his perspective following the demonstration.

“Enhans’ Agentic AI felt like a powerful collaborator that turns imagination into reality,” Lee said. “AI should no longer be defined as an opponent but as a tool that allows humans to unlock greater creativity.”

Seung-hyun Lee, CEO of Enhans, said the event reflects a fundamental shift in the role of artificial intelligence.

“If the AlphaGo match symbolized competition between humans and AI, today marks the beginning of collaboration,” Lee said. “Our goal is to standardize the core technologies behind this shift including Ontology, Agentic AI, and LAM and open an era in which enterprises worldwide can work alongside AI agents.”

Founded in 2021, Enhans is an AI OS company focused on automating workflows across vertical industries. The company’s platform is built on two core technologies. Ontology enables AI agents to understand industry and business context. Computer Using Agent (CUA) is an execution engine designed to operate in real computer environments and complete tasks from start to finish. By combining understanding and execution in an agent centric AI OS, Enhans aims to introduce a new paradigm in which AI can autonomously decide and act.

Enhans has also gained international recognition for its technology. In May 2025 the company was selected as the only Korean participant in Palantir’s Startup Fellowship. Its web AI agent model ACT 1 ranked among the top systems on the global Online Mind2Web benchmark leaderboard alongside models from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. The model achieved first place in DOM control performance and first place in the vertical commerce category. The system has since evolved into its next generation version ACT 2.

LOUIS, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Seeger Weiss LLP, Motley Rice LLC, Waters Kraus Paul & Siegel, Williams Hart & Boundas LLP, The Holland Law Firm, and Ketchmark & McCreight P.C. announce that the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri, has granted preliminary approval of a proposed class action settlement of up to $7.25 billion in King v. Monsanto Company. The Court has preliminarily approved the settlement and authorized a comprehensive notice program to inform individuals who may be part of the Settlement Class of their rights and options.

The proposed settlement resolves claims that exposure to Roundup® and other glyphosate-based weed killers causes non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), a blood cancer that can take 10 to 15 years to develop after exposure. Monsanto denies all allegations of wrongdoing and liability. The Court has not made any finding regarding the merits of the claims.

“This agreement is designed to ensure that people who have been diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma as a result of their Roundup exposure, and those who may develop NHL in the future, will be protected and have access to meaningful compensation without the risks and delay of continued litigation,” said Christopher Seeger of Seeger Weiss LLP, counsel for current claimants.

Eric D. Holland of The Holland Law Firm, counsel for future claimants, noted, “This settlement provides compensation and certainty to the victims and their families who have been waiting for years and who currently face major risks that could extinguish their claims. Importantly, it also locks in compensation for victims over the next two decades.”

Who Is Included

The Settlement Class generally includes farmers, landscapers, groundskeepers, gardeners, and others who were exposed to Roundup® or other glyphosate-based weed killers in the United States before February 17, 2026. Individuals diagnosed with NHL after exposure may qualify for benefits, as may individuals exposed but not yet diagnosed. Family members and representatives of deceased, minor, or incapacitated class members may also be included.

Settlement Benefits

Eligible individuals diagnosed with NHL may receive $6,000 to $165,000 or more, based primarily on type of exposure (whether at home or at work), age at diagnosis, and NHL type. Monsanto will fund up to $7.25 billion over 17 to 21 years.

Important Deadlines

  • Exclusion Deadline: Individuals who wish to retain the right to sue Monsanto on their own must submit a written request for exclusion by June 4, 2026.
  • Objection Deadline: Settlement Class Members who wish to object to any aspect of the Settlement must file a written objection by June 4, 2026.
  • Final Approval Hearing: The Court will hold a hearing on July 9, 2026 to determine whether the proposed Settlement is fair, reasonable, and adequate.

The hearing date and other deadlines may change without further notice. Settlement Class Members are encouraged to check the Settlement website for updates and to learn more about how to object or exclude themselves from the class.

How to Obtain More Information

Settlement Class Members may review the Detailed Notice, the Settlement Agreement, and other important documents at WeedKillerClass.com. Individuals may also call 1-888-403-8201 or email Info@WeedKillerClass.com

Relativity aiR for Data Breach Response Now Generally Available

As part of its expanded LDI capabilities, Relativity announced the general availability of Relativity aiR for Data Breach Response. Workflow-driven automation helps organizations respond to breach incidents faster and more accurately without sacrificing defensibility. In a Total Economic Impact study conducted by Forrester Consulting, organizations using aiR for Data Breach Response reported up to 60 percent savings in reviewer time costs. The solution’s enhanced capabilities reduce manual effort in high-stakes response workflows while supporting transparency, human oversight and compliance with regulatory and legal requirements.

Using aiR for Data Breach Response helps teams identify personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI) across multiple file types, link sensitive data to potentially impacted individuals, and deduplicate results to create consolidated, reviewable profiles. Purpose-built for breach response, the solution flags anomalies and potential risks for expert validation, provides clear rationale and traceability for outputs, and streamlines the creation of affected-individual lists and notification-ready reporting as response timelines continue to tighten — all within the secure RelativityOne offering.

Relativity aiR for Case Strategy Accelerates Case Intelligence at Scale

Relativity aiR for Case Strategy, which became generally available in January 2026, is seeing strong early adoption as legal teams look to accelerate case intelligence and narrative development. Designed to make it faster and simpler to build case strategy, the solution enables users to extract key facts automatically, visualize chronologies, accelerate deposition preparation, and generate summaries across documents, witnesses, and transcripts.

Customers have run more than 1 million documents through aiR for Case Strategy. To date, the solution has extracted more than 800,000 facts. By transforming unstructured documents into structured, reviewable facts and timelines, aiR for Case Strategy helps legal teams surface critical insights earlier, align on narrative faster, and move forward with greater speed and confidence.

Relativity aiR Transforms Document Review

Using Relativity aiR for Review and Relativity aiR for Privilege, legal teams have already made more than 240 million defensible review predictions across thousands of matters — and with adoption increasing rapidly, this momentum marks the beginning of a broader expansion of aiR’s impact in 2026. With aiR for Review, customers report reducing review time by up to 85 percent and surfacing up to 30 percent more relevant documents compared to manual review and 10-20 percent more than other traditional technology-assisted review (TAR) approaches, delivering faster, more accurate results within a single workflow. As aiR solutions for review, such as aiR for Review and aiR for Privilege, become integral to LDI work, the solutions will be included in the standard pricing and packaging for RelativityOne in April, as announced at Relativity Fest 2025.

In a recent multi-party matter, global law firm Foley & Lardner LLP leveraged aiR for Review to complete a half-million document review, completing the entire workflow — culling, prompt iteration, validation and full-scale analysis — in under a week. Once the initial review was complete, Foley compared issue-coded signals across outgoing and incoming productions, using aiR for Review’s reasoning to identify matches, contrasts and gaps in the narrative emerging from each party’s documents.

“Being able to quickly compare issue patterns across incoming and outgoing productions fundamentally changed how we viewed the facts and determined areas of focus,” said Nick Cole, Director of Litigation Support at Foley & Lardner. “Without aiR for Review, that level of analysis simply wouldn’t have been possible.”

We are doing the opposite. We are deepening our presence, our investment, and our commitment to this region.”

Bybit’s appointment of Derek comes at a pivotal moment for the region — a decision made not despite the current geopolitical uncertainty, but because of it.

A Strategic Moment for the Middle East

“The Middle East is emerging as one of the most important regions shaping the future of digital finance, with the UAE leading the way in building a progressive and well-regulated ecosystem,” said Derek Dai, Country Manager for MENA at Bybit.

“Our priority is to deepen collaboration with financial centers such as DIFC and DMCC, while strengthening the infrastructure that connects digital assets with everyday financial services and advancing the development of tokenized real-world assets that bridge traditional finance and the digital asset economy.”

“In the coming months, we will focus on expanding AED fiat access, building partnerships with banks and payment providers, and enhancing our Islamic finance offerings through the development of more Shariah-compliant products,” Derek added. “By working closely with regulators, institutions, and builders, we aim to support the next phase of responsible digital asset adoption across the Middle East, while expanding our presence across the GCC, with Bahrain representing one of the next key milestones for Bybit in the region.”

Building Long-Term Roots in the UAE

Bybit views the UAE not only as a market, but as a strategic bridge between traditional financial systems and the emerging digital asset economy.

As part of its commitment to the local community, the company partnered with the Emirates Red Crescent during Ramadan to support the Iftar Tent initiative, providing meals throughout the holy month and organizing employee volunteer activities to assist families and individuals in need.

Amid the recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Bybit has also taken proactive steps to ensure the safety and well-being of its UAE-based employees while maintaining stable services for its global users. The company activated comprehensive Business Continuity Protocols (BCP) across its Dubai and Abu Dhabi operations, introducing daily management check-ins, real-time employee safety confirmations, and relocation or travel assistance for staff in sensitive areas.

“Bybit’s commitment to the UAE was made for the long term — through growth and through adversity,” said Helen. “We continue to invest in local talent, regulatory compliance, and community partnerships. The UAE’s vision to become the world’s leading digital asset hub is not diminished by this crisis. If anything, the resilience this nation is showing only reinforces why we chose to build here.”

“Our users in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and across the Gulf need to know one thing: Bybit is open, Bybit is liquid, and Bybit is staffed around the clock,” Derek added. “Your funds are safe. Your access is uninterrupted. We are not going offline, and we are not leaving.”

A Message to the UAE Community

“To our entire UAE family — our users, our partners, our colleagues, and every family across the Emirates — Bybit stands with you,” said Helen Liu. “We wish safety, strength, and peace to everyone affected by this conflict. The UAE has shown the world what courage and resilience look like, and we are honored to stand alongside this community. We are here today, we will be here tomorrow, and we will be here long after this crisis passes.”

Kelun-Biotech and Harbour BioMed Announce NMPA Approval of IND Application for SKB575/HBM7575 for the Treatment of Atopic Dermatitis

CHENGDU, China, March 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Sichuan Kelun-Biotech Biopharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Kelun-Biotech” or the “Company”, 6990.HK) and Harbour BioMed (HKEX: 02142) today announced that the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China has approved the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for SKB575/HBM7575, a long-acting bispecific antibody targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and an undisclosed target co-developed by the two parties, for the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by persistent itching, redness, and irritation. It affects around 20% of children and up to 10% of adults worldwide[1]. Though not infectious, atopic dermatitis has a profound impact on patients’ quality of life due to its cyclical nature of flare-ups and remissions. Current treatments, including topical corticosteroids, biologics, and Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, provide symptomatic relief for many patients, but often fail to deliver sustained disease control, especially in moderate-to-severe cases. Therefore, there is an urgent need for safer, more effective, and durable treatments that address underlying disease mechanisms and improve long-term outcomes.

Dr. Michael Ge, CEO of Kelun-Biotech, stated: “We are delighted to see the approval of SKB575/HBM7575 for clinical trials in atopic dermatitis. This marks an important milestone in our strategic expansion in the field of autoimmune diseases and holds promise for offering a novel therapeutic option to patients with atopic dermatitis. As a bispecific antibody with a differentiated innovative mechanism and a long-acting profile, SKB575/HBM7575 holds the potential to deliver durable and stable disease control while improving patient treatment experience through reduced dosing frequency.”

Dr. Jingsong Wang, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Harbour BioMed, commented: “The NMPA’s IND approval for HBM7575/SKB575 marks an important step forward in addressing the significant unmet needs in autoimmune diseases such as atopic dermatitis. By targeting TSLP, a key upstream driver of type 2 inflammation, and an undisclosed target, HBM7575/SKB575 has the potential to be a best-in-class bispecific antibody for this disease. We look forward to advancing this investigational therapy through clinical development and believe its long-acting profile may offer a differentiated treatment option for patients worldwide.”

About SKB575/HBM7575

SKB575/HBM7575 is a long-acting bispecific antibody targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and an undisclosed antigen, with a dual mechanism of action. On one hand, by blocking the interaction between TSLP and its receptor, it inhibits TSLP-mediated signaling pathways and the activation of Th2 immune cells. On the other hand, binding to and blocking the undisclosed target generates a synergistic effect, overcoming resistance issues associated with TSLP single-target antibodies. SKB575/HBM7575 has been engineered to possess an extended half-life and favorable developability, enabling subcutaneous administration. Based on preclinical half-life data, the anticipated human half-life is expected to support dosing intervals of more than three months, positioning it as a potential best-in-class therapy.

According to the collaboration agreement between the Company and Harbour BioMed, SKB575/HBM7575 is led by Kelun-Biotech in its design, global development and commercialization, with Harbour BioMed participating in the investment and development of this asset and sharing the benefits as agreed.
