Elong Power Holding Limited Announces the Change of Effective Date of its 1 for 80 Share Consolidations

BEIJING, March 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Elong Power Holding Limited (Nasdaq: ELPW) (the “Company”), a provider of high power battery technologies for commercial and specialty alternative energy vehicles and energy storage systems, announced a share consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at a ratio of 1 for 80 shares (the “Reverse Split”) earlier today. The Company has announced a change of effective date of the Reverse Split. The Reverse Split will take effect at the open of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on March 12, 2026.

On January 6, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders, and the shareholders approved to implement share consolidations of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at any one time or multiple times, at the exact consolidation ratio and effective time as the Board may determine from time to time in its absolute discretion, provided that the accumulative consolidation ratio for all such share consolidations shall not be more than 4000:1, and authorized the Board to implement such share consolidations at any time during a period of up to two years of the date of the meeting. On March 5, 2026, the board approved implementation of the Reverse Split at a ratio of 1 for 80 shares.

The objective of the Reverse Split is to enable the Company to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), which requires issuers listed on Nasdaq to maintain a closing bid price of greater than $0.10.

Upon the open of trading on March 12, 2026, the Company’s Class A ordinary shares will begin trading on a Reverse Split-adjusted basis, under the same symbol “ELPW” but under a new CUSIP number, G3016G129.

As a result of the Reverse Split, each 80 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.00016 will automatically combine and convert into one issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share with a par value of $0.0128. each 80 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.00016 will automatically combine and convert into one issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share with a par value of $0.0128. The Reverse Split will affect all shareholders uniformly and will not alter any shareholder’s percentage ownership interest in the Company, except for minimal changes that may result from the treatment of fractional shares. No action is required by shareholders holding their shares through a brokerage account.

No fractional shares will be issued to any shareholders in connection with the Reverse Split, and each shareholder will be entitled to receive one full Class A ordinary share or Class B ordinary share, as applicable, in the Company in lieu of the fractional share that would have resulted from the Reverse Split.

At the time the share consolidation is effective, the Company’s total issued and outstanding common shares will change from approximately 63 million to approximately 0.79 million. The Company’s authorized shares will be proportionally reduced.

FIT KING Reinforces Long-Term Commitment to Inclusive Performance at CAF’s “Defying Limits” Los Angeles Gala

LOS ANGELES, March 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FIT KING proudly partnered with the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) in support of its inaugural Defying Limits Los Angeles Gala, an evening that raised more than $600,000 to expand access to adaptive sports and athletic opportunity.

For FIT KING, this partnership represents more than event sponsorship — it reflects a long-term commitment to inclusive performance, equitable recovery access, and the belief that athletic potential exists in every body.

Recovery as Access. Performance as Dignity.

As a global recovery technology brand, FIT KING has long focused on helping athletes train harder, recover smarter, and perform sustainably. But performance is not defined solely by elite competition — it is defined by opportunity.

Adaptive athletes face unique physical demands, often navigating higher recovery needs, limited equipment access, and inconsistent support systems. FIT KING believes recovery should never be a privilege — it should be part of the infrastructure that enables confidence, independence, and long-term participation in sport.

“Movement is transformative,” said at FIT KING. “When access to sport expands, lives expand. Our role is to ensure recovery tools evolve alongside athletic ambition — for every athlete.”


Building Toward LA28 and Beyond

With Los Angeles preparing to host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the adaptive sports movement is entering a pivotal chapter. FIT KING sees this moment not only as a cultural milestone, but as a strategic inflection point.

The brand’s long-term strategy includes:

  • Expanding recovery accessibility within adaptive sports communities
  • Supporting grassroots programs that build sustainable athlete pathways
  • Collaborating with nonprofit partners to integrate recovery education and technology into year-round programming
  • Developing product innovation informed by diverse athletic needs

Through its collaboration with CAF, FIT KING aims to help create an ecosystem where adaptive athletes have access not only to equipment and training — but to professional-grade recovery support that sustains their journey.

From Product to Purpose

At the Defying Limits Gala, more than 400 leaders from sports, business, and philanthropy gathered to champion resilience and possibility. For FIT KING, the evening reinforced a clear truth: recovery is not simply about muscle relief — it is about restoring strength, protecting longevity, and empowering continued participation.


FIT KING’s contribution to the event included both financial support and recovery equipment designed to assist athletes in maintaining peak condition throughout training cycles and competition seasons.

But the brand’s commitment extends beyond one evening.

FIT KING believes in a long-term vision for inclusive performance. The brand is committed to building a future where recovery innovation supports inclusivity — where adaptive athletes have the same access to performance tools as anyone pursuing their athletic goals.

A Broader Vision of Performance

FIT KING believes the future of sport is inclusive. As adaptive sports visibility increases globally, the brand intends to play an active role in shaping a recovery landscape that evolves alongside it.

By aligning with organizations like CAF, FIT KING reinforces its belief that performance technology should not only elevate elite outcomes — it should expand human possibility.

As momentum builds toward LA28, FIT KING remains committed to partnerships that strengthen communities, reduce barriers, and redefine what it means to perform — and to recover — without limits.

VEVOR High-Pressure Airless Paint Sprayer: Up to 12X Faster to Refresh Your Home This Spring

HOUSTON, March 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Thinking about giving your home a fresh coat of paint this spring? It’s an exciting idea—until you picture slow brushes, tiring rollers, constant reloading, and the cleanup that drags on for hours.

VEVOR’s new high-pressure airless paint sprayer is designed to change that.  Up to 12X faster than traditional brushes, it lets you breeze through walls and rooms with pro-level results—without turning a weekend project into a full-day chore.

VEVOR High-Pressure Airless Paint Sprayer

When Tools Stop Getting in the Way, DIY Feels Effortless

After years of conversations with North American customers, VEVOR noticed a clear pattern: most people don’t avoid DIY because they lack skills—they avoid it because inefficient tools drain their energy.

“One customer told us he bought paint and let it sit in his garage for three months,” recalls Gavin, VEVOR brand director. “It wasn’t that he didn’t want to start. He just couldn’t face holding a roller all afternoon, then spending another hour cleaning everything. So he kept saying, ‘Maybe next weekend.'”

And “next weekend” quietly turns into months. Slow coverage. Uneven finishes. Splatter. Endless touch-ups. What should be a satisfying weekend upgrade becomes repetitive labor.

“We don’t just want to sell products,” Gavin adds. “We want to remove the friction.”

Over the past several years, VEVOR has continuously gathered feedback from customer reviews, service conversations, and real-world use cases. Real user experiences have directly shaped the product you see today.

VEVOR High-Pressure Airless Paint Sprayer

Professional-Level Performance—Made for Home Creators

The philosophy behind this new-generation airless sprayer is simple: bring professional efficiency to everyday users. Powered by a 650W motor delivering up to 3000 PSI and 0.31 GPM, it sprays up to 12 times faster than traditional painting methods. In practical terms, that means a room that might have taken an entire afternoon with a brush can now be finished in a fraction of the time—enough to complete a wall while enjoying an episode of your favorite show.

But speed is only part of the story. High-pressure airless technology atomizes paint into a fine, even mist, creating a smoother, more consistent finish while minimizing brush marks and color variation. An integrated filtration system and improved sealing design help reduce nozzle clogs and leaks, maintaining consistent performance during longer projects. For DIYers, this means fewer interruptions and a more seamless painting experience from start to finish.

One early tester shared:

“I thought I’d end up spraying paint everywhere the first time I used it—but it was surprisingly controlled. The finish was so even that friends asked if I hired a professional.”

VEVOR High-Pressure Airless Paint Sprayer

Designed for Convenience. Built for the Long Run.

Performance matters—but so does usability.

The sprayer is easy to assemble and beginner-friendly. A detachable pump design simplifies cleaning and maintenance. Three adjustable pressure settings allow you to tailor output for different surfaces and project sizes, giving you the right balance between speed and precision.

A full metal frame and durable, wear-resistant hose ensure long-term stability and reliability—so this isn’t just a one-project tool, but a dependable part of your workshop for years to come.

Get Your Day Back with Effortless Painting

When painting no longer consumes an entire day, DIY returns to what it was always meant to be.

After refinishing his deck, one user shared:

“That afternoon, I was sitting on my freshly painted deck with a beer. Normally after painting, I just want to lie down. That was the first time I realized you can finish the job and still enjoy the day.” Stories like this are becoming more common.

To date, VEVOR’s sprayer lineup has served more than 100,000 users across North America, supporting projects from fence refreshes and deck restoration to full home renovations. In customer reviews, comments like “high efficiency,” “professional finish,” and “easy to use and clean” appear again and again—making VEVOR a trusted choice for more DIY households every year.

If that wall has been waiting for attention, maybe the issue isn’t time—it’s the tool.

This spring, join over 100,000 North American families in giving your homes a fresh new look—quickly, effortlessly, and with professional results. The VEVOR High-Pressure Airless Paint Sprayer is now available through vevor.com, and Amazon.

A French Electronic Storm is Brewing Over Victoria Harbour: DJ Snake to Headline French May Arts Festival 2026

HONG KONG, March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The iconic skyline of Victoria Harbour will serve as the backdrop for a landmark electronic music event this spring. DJ Snake Live in Hong Kong – French May Arts Festival 2026: Sino-French Electronic Music Show, presented by French May Arts Festival (French May) 2026 and organized by Occasions Asia Pacific, the global superstar DJ Snake will command the stage at a massive open-air headline show on 8 May, 2026.  French May 2026 is also a project financially supported by the Mega Arts and Cultural Events Fund under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government.


This will be the French hitmaker’s first major concert in Hong Kong, transforming the city into a pulsating epicentre of his signature sound. The set will feature a special collaborative performance with a leading Hong Kong DJ, creating a unique East-West sonic dialogue that promises to be a historic moment for the city’s music scene — a premier cultural rendezvous fusing French electronic artistry with the dynamic energy of Hong Kong.

Mrs. Christile Drulhe, Consul General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, said “We are proud to launch the 33rd edition of French May with a headline performance by the French global icon DJ Snake. Performing at the city’s iconic Victoria Harbourfront, this flagship event ignites a two-month celebration of unprecedented cross-cultural dialogue, leading a vibrant program of visual and performing arts we have planned across Hong Kong from May to June. We are grateful for the invaluable support of our friends, partners, patrons, and the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, allowing French May to continue forging cultural bridges that enriches the everyday life of Hong Kong-ers through the arts.”

About DJ Snake

Cultural icon DJ Snake has shaped the global music landscape with hits like “Let Me Love You,” “Middle,” “Lean On,” and “Taki Taki.” Collaborating with leading names across pop and urban music including Justin Bieber, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, Future, Travis Scott, Jung Kook, J Balvin, Peso Pluma, Don Toliver, Stray Kids, LISA from BLACKPINK, and Amadou and Mariam, he has built a cross genre catalog with lasting worldwide impact. With over 52 million monthly Spotify listeners and more than 40 billion streams, he has sold out arenas globally and redefined the modern electronic artist.

Rooted in the French underground electronic scene, DJ Snake emerged as a pioneer in blending electronic music with trap, hip-hop, and modern pop, reintroducing vocal chops and high-impact drops into mainstream pop production. Breakthrough tracks like “Bird Machine,” “Turn Down for What,” and “Propaganda” became cultural landmarks, reshaping electronic music and ushering twerk, trap, and hip-hop influences into the global mainstream.

His rise from clubs to stadiums includes headlining Accor Arena and Stade de France, selling over 100,000 tickets between the two Paris shows in minutes, while dominating markets across Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and North America. In 2025, he released Nomad, a globally influenced project that earned major international covers and a GQ Man of the Year award, alongside continued expansion into fashion through global brand collaborations and his Pardon My French collective.

Say Goodbye to Expensive Subscriptions, Hello to 4K: the All-in-One XbotGo Falcon AI Sports Camera Now Available for Global Public Sale

The Professional-Grade Auto-Tracking Camera Designed for Sports Families, Coaches, and Young Athletes – No Subscription Required for Core Features

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., March 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — XbotGo today announced the global public launch of its flagship Falcon AI sports camera, available for immediate purchase exclusively at xbotgo.com. Starting at $699, Falcon is purpose-built to transform how sports families capture 10+ Sports, putting professional-grade 4K intelligent auto-tracking within everyone’s reach.

XbotGo Falcon Now Available
XbotGo Falcon Now Available

Falcon was born from a simple yet powerful observation: every sports family deserves a personal “AI videographer.” For too long, parents have struggled to juggle cheering and filming, ending up with shaky footage and missed moments. Meanwhile, expensive club cameras with costly annual subscriptions have put professional-level recording out of reach for most families. 

Falcon arrives to end this dilemma.

Core Advantages:

No Subscription for Core Recording & Tracking: Pay once, own it forever. Falcon requires no subscription fees for its essential features—4K video recording, intelligent auto-tracking, Zone Mapping, Auto Zoom, and Free Live streaming and more features.

Exclusive Features: Powered by a pioneering Dual-Camera System (Sony IMX678 with 1/1.8″ Sensor), and a powerful 6-TOPS AI Processor, Falcon delivers True 4K Clarity Video Recording and intelligent capture modes that automatically follow the action—no operator needed.

Superior Experience: From IPX5 Rain Resistance and 30-Second Instant Setup to free multi-platform live streaming with RTMP support, plus Gourd-to-Sky 160° tilt and 360° panoramic tracking, Falcon exceeds expectations at every turn.

Rock-Solid Hardware: A 9600mAh long-life battery (up to 4.5 hours), 20GB free cloud storage, support for external storage up to 1TB, and a built-in digital screen make Falcon a reliable, all-day sideline companion.

Falcon doesn’t just record goals; it helps families easily capture and share their child’s growth and achievements—whether for tryouts, college recruiting, or building a treasured family memory bank.

“Parents have waited long enough for technology that lets them enjoy the game instead of filming it,” said Dr. David Tan, Founder & CEO of XbotGo and a dedicated “soccer dad” himself. “Falcon gives every family its own pro-level AI camera at a price that finally makes sense. No subscriptions for core features, no compromises—just crystal-clear 4K footage so you can focus on what matters most: your kids on the field.”

Falcon previously set records on Kickstarter, raising over $2.5 million from more than 5,000 backers, and earned praise at CES 2026 as “the most professional sports tracking camera that doesn’t require a subscription” (Mashable).

Availability

The Falcon AI sports camera (Standard Edition) is priced at $699 and includes the Falcon camera and essential accessories. The Elite Pack, featuring the Falcon camera and the highly acclaimed NT4 Tripod, is available for $849. Both are shipping globally starting today and can be purchased directly from the XbotGo website: xbotgo.com.

About XbotGo

XbotGo is the consumer AI brand of Blink Tech, Inc., founded by Dr. David Tan—a computer vision expert, hardware innovator, and passionate soccer dad. Driven by the belief that everyone should be able to capture and relive their best sports moments, XbotGo makes pro-level videography easy and accessible for all. With a core team of graduates from globally renowned institutions and veterans from leading tech companies, XbotGo operates in Silicon Valley, Texas, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Suzhou, leveraging global R&D and supply chain advantages to drive innovation worldwide.
