Southeast Asia-focused Vitamin Brand YOUVIT Raises US$ 6 Million in a Series B Funding Led by Unilever Ventures

SINGAPORE, Oct 22, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – YOUVIT, a Southeast Asia-based new generation vitamin brand is proud to announce that it has raised US$ 6 million in a growth funding round. The amount raised will be utilized to fuel the expansion plans as YOUVIT aims to become the leading vitamin brand for urban millennials across the region. With Unilever Ventures as the lead investor of its latest Series B funding round, round, along with participation from existing investor DSG Consumer Partners and several other new investors, YOUVIT is well positioned to achieve its goals.



YOUVIT is on a mission to revolutionize the vitamin category by making quality vitamin products in innovative formats accessible to urban millennials. Their first line of vitamin gummies took the Indonesian market by storm, propelling YOUVIT to become the country's #1 gummy vitamin brand.

With the fresh funding, YOUVIT now plans to expand its product offering and launch new formats, while investing in team expansion. The company plans to double-down on its unique omnichannel distribution model with a presence in more than 20,000 modern retail stores and strong traction through online channels and its DTC platform at www.youvit.co.id. The expansion plan includes the launch of the full product range in Malaysia and ramping up across Southeast Asia.

"With its modern and innovative product formats and an omnichannel approach to distribution, YOUVIT is poised to disrupt the large vitamins and supplements market in Southeast Asia. We look forward to partnering with Wouter and Maarten as they build out the wellness category in this exciting market," said Pawan Chaturvedi, Partner at Unilever Ventures, adding that "YOUVIT also marks our first investment in the vibrant start-up ecosystem of Southeast Asia, a market which offers us immense opportunities to partner with visionary founders".

Preventative health and vitamins are top of mind across emerging markets. The ASEAN supplements market size is expected to touch US$ 10.6 billion by 2026, fueled by increasing health consciousness among the urban population. The pandemic accelerated a lifestyle change towards preventative health and millennials are often at the forefront of this shift. According to a report by Inventure Knowledge, 52% of Indonesians are consuming more vitamins since the pandemic. Furthermore, lockdowns and movement control measures have triggered a rapid shift towards online and direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales channels.

The vision behind YOUVIT is that the vitamin category is rusty and old-fashioned, while there is a large market for quality products that specifically target millennials from the emerging middle classes in growth markets such as Indonesia. "Customers deserve a better experience. We aim to improve the health and well-being of hundreds of millions of customers and as a result grow into the number one vitamin brand for urban millennials in Southeast Asia," says Wouter van der Kolk, Co-Founder and CEO at YOUVIT.

YOUVIT is uniquely positioned to leverage the changes happening in the market. After launching its first products in 2017, it quickly became the product of choice for millions of urban millennials, 70% of which are female. Headed by co-founders Wouter van der Kolk and Maarten Vrouenraets, YOUVIT has breathed new life into the supplement category with its innovative line of one-a-day gummy vitamins. The products are formulated with health-conscious millennials in mind and tailored to local tastes and needs such as Halal certification in Indonesia and Malaysia, vitamin dosages based on the local recommended intake values and local ingredients like curcuma. The gummy vitamins come packed with nutrients and minerals to boost immune function, brain development, energy, beauty and overall health of adults and children. It is tasty and healthy and loaded with natural fruit flavors giving it a new twist. From its interesting marketing to convenient packaging, YOUVIT offers a welcome alternative to more traditional, medicinal vitamin pill brands.

About YOUVIT

YOUVIT was started out of a passion for building consumer health ventures that serve consumers across emerging Asia. After observing the severe lack of affordable, high-quality supplements and the significant deficiencies in the average diet, the founders of YOUVIT spent 18 months working with the U.S.-based product experts and labs to formulate a deliciously tasting functional vitamin supplement in gummy format, specifically tailored towards the dietary requirements and habits of the Southeast Asian consumer. The brand launched its first vitamin products in 2017 under the YOUVIT brand. Its products are currently available at over 20,000 points of sale, through the brands official online stores on all major e-commerce platforms as well as its own DTC platform at www.youvit.co.id.

Since its inception, the company has been providing frontline workers, hospital staff and underprivileged people in society with vitamins to boost their immune system. An example of such a cooperation is its close teamwork with the Peduli Anak Foundation in Indonesia, which is committed to improving the lives of former street children. YOUVIT has donated tens of thousands of doses of YOUVIT vitamins in order to supports the Foundation's cause.

Policy Address 2022: Creating a thriving, vibrant Hong Kong through improved governance and economic diversification

HONG KONG, CHINA, Oct 20, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – 19 October 2022, HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee today unveiled his first Policy Address, mapping out a bold, comprehensive five-year blueprint for strengthening Hong Kong's competitiveness by building on the city's unique advantages and capturing new growth opportunities.

This comes against the backdrop of China's 20th Party Congress, which opened on 16 October. In his opening address, President Xi Jinping highlighted the crucial role of Hong Kong as he charted China's direction over the next five years, addressing the need to safeguard national security and pursue talent and innovation to give new momentum to development.

In line with the "four proposals" put forward by President Xi, the Chief Executive emphasized the importance of delivering on the sixth-term HKSAR Government's focus areas of injecting impetus into economic growth and tackling deep-seated social issues, while enhancing the level of governance and safeguarding social harmony and stability.

"With these goals in mind, today's Policy Address included a wide array of policies for economic transformation and social welfare in the short, medium, and long term, which will be welcomed by businesses and citizens in Hong Kong," says Deloitte China Southern Region Managing Partner Edward Au.

"The Chief Executive also signaled a focus on enhancing governance capacity and efficacy through a results-oriented approach, tasking top officials to lead key initiatives, and establishing clear KPIs and mechanisms to review progress. This shows the Government's resolve to reform its organizational culture by putting governance at the core of policy making and implementation."

Attracting and developing talent

The Policy Address included a raft of measures on talent, including the launch of the Top Talent Pass Scheme, creation of a Talent Service Unit to be led by the Chief Secretary for Administration, extension of stay for work visas, and enhancements to the Technology Talent Admission Scheme, making it clear that the HKSAR Government views talent as a top priority.

The Top Talent Pass Scheme will enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness in attracting mature global talent. The Government could also consider policies to attract technical scholars and overseas STEAM students, including subsidies, tax incentives, and simplified visa application procedures.

Talent retention and integration are equally crucial. We hope the HKSAR Government will consider support for medical care, housing, and children's education to help global talent integrate better into Hong Kong. For balance and social cohesion, the Government could also create new opportunities for local students and talent through internships and further studies.

The Policy Address mentioned that within next five years, 35% of students at universities funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) should be studying STEAM subjects and 60% studying subjects related to developing Hong Kong into the "eight centers" under China's 14th Five-Year Plan. As global demand and the required skills for talent are constantly evolving, the Government should work with UGC universities to ensure Hong Kong talent remains competitive and meets ever-changing market needs.

Innovation & Technology as growth drivers

To promote the development of "eight centers" in Hong Kong as outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan, the Policy Address set out strategic plans to boost the growth of finance, technology, and the arts in Hong Kong, with a view to injecting vitality into the local economy.

Re-industrialization and R&D commercialization initiatives, including the expansion of the Innovation & Technology (I&T) funding program and incentives for I&T companies to establish headquarters in Hong Kong, will enhance the growth of the local I&T ecosystem and encourage closer cooperation between industry, academia, and the research sector.

With the Northern Metropolis and Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation & Technology Park, Hong Kong is repositioning itself as an international I&T hub to drive growth in parallel with its long-established financial hub. Looking ahead, we would like to see cross-border connectivity and support strengthened to better integrate Hong Kong startups into GBA networks, particularly in legal advisory and professional services for startups seeking expansion.

Diversification of capital markets

We welcome the proposed revitalization of GEM and a listing regime for pre-earnings and/or pre-revenue large-scale advanced technology enterprises. This will form a more diverse, effective multi-tier platform for companies' funding needs in different stages, and further Hong Kong's I&T ecosystem. To further enhance efficiency and effectiveness, and maintain Hong Kong's leadership as an international listing venue, Hong Kong should deploy technology continuously to transform market infrastructure like the upcoming IPO settlement modernization.

We also hope the Government will consider more tax and other initiatives to further promote the bond market and enhance market infrastructure, liquidity, and investor diversity, given the bond market is also key to Hong Kong's status as an international financial center and the goal of building Hong Kong into a regional hub for sustainable finance.

Boosting green finance

Hong Kong is in a unique position to develop a robust carbon credit standard and trading platform of high integrity, to achieve recognition from international and Mainland markets. In keeping with international trends, Hong Kong could continue to strengthen disclosure requirements on climate risks, net zero targets, and ESG.

As an international green finance hub, the Government could consider further incentives in relation to the cost of raising green funds. Hong Kong could also accelerate the development of carbon exchange and deploy existing channels, such as Bond Connect and Stock Connect, to bring in international investors to the Mainland, and connect Mainland investors with international markets.

Enhancing Hong Kong's tax competitiveness

We are pleased to see the Government introduce tax measures to attract talent and investment, such as the refund of extra stamp duty to eligible incoming talents, family office tax incentive, and enhancement of preferential aircraft leasing. We look forward to proposals on tax measures to attract high-potential and representative strategic enterprises to Hong Kong.

To enhance tax competitiveness, the Government could consider offering tax relief for intellectual property income, relaxed tax deductions on R&D spending, and reducing stamp duty on stock transfers to its original level to attract overseas company listings.

Striving toward carbon neutrality

We welcome the continued commitments to halving emissions before 2035 and carbon neutrality before 2050. To achieve this, all the infrastructure developments in the Policy Address should take account of the city's decarbonization targets, with in-built pathways to net-zero that make all development green development.

Hong Kong should use the best possible carbon accounting standards and metrics, and ensure that business and finance also use leading climate risk monitoring, reporting, and verification measures. This will enhance its role as a regional center for green technology, green finance, and carbon markets.

Alongside production-based carbon accounting, Hong Kong, which depends almost entirely on imports of food, consumer goods, energy, equipment, and raw materials, could consider preparing statistics on consumption-based emissions. Better information on this embodied carbon can encourage responsible consumption and complement plans to boost local agriculture.

Regulatory challenges brought by new technological developments

We support measures to facilitate cross border technological collaboration, including the introduction of a new regulatory regime for virtual assets, studying the feasibility of a regime for stablecoins, and reinforcing the protection of intellectual property rights.

To further support innovation, we hope the Government could continue to review possible regulatory issues arising from new fintech developments, including streamlining the regulatory framework to address complex legal issues around activities in the Metaverse, and developing specific data ethics rules and guidance for the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing.

OOWAY GROUP Clarifies Factual Inaccuracy in Kitchen Culture’s 14 October 2022 Announcement to SGXNet

SINGAPORE, Oct 20, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – OOWAY Group Ltd today announced that it wishes to clarify the factual inaccuracy in Kitchen Culture Holdings Limited's 14 October 2022 announcement ("Announcement") to SGXNet with regard to an interest-free loan of S$1.5 million (Unconditional Interest-Free Loan) that was offered to Kitchen Culture by OOWAY Group as a gesture to assist the Company in alleviating its dire financial situation. Kitchen Culture's Announcement had stated:

"As regards the S$1.5 million interest-free loan proposed by the OOWAY Group as referred to in the Article, it came with the pre-condition that a specific candidate had to be appointed as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Company".

OOWAY Group would like to clarify that the final version of the Loan dated 8 June 2022 and offered to the Company, did not come with any pre-conditions, and that Kitchen Culture's Announcement to SGXNet was a factual inaccuracy.

From May 2022 to early June 2022, there were several rounds of discussions on the loan amount and conditions tied to the loan. The final version of the Term Sheet dated 8 June 2022 was signed by OOWAY Group and then circulated to Kitchen Culture's Board of Directors on the same date.

The terms specified in the Term Sheet are as follows:
1. Loan Tenor of 1 year from the date of first drawn down (Initial Term);
2. No interest shall be payable;
3. OOWAY has the option to extend the loan tenor or convert the loan to equity shares of KC after the Initial Term expires. Term and condition to be agreed upon later by both parties and approvals from the relevant authorities.

OOWAY Group invites the Board of the Company to clarify the above statement in the Announcement and to circulate to the shareholders the Term Sheet of the Unconditional Interest-Free Loan for purpose of clarity and transparency.

Expressing his surprise at Kitchen Culture's not accepting the Unconditional Interest-Free Loan, Mr Liu Yanlong, representative for OOWAY Group said, "This proposed Unconditional Interest-Free Loan was not accepted by the Board of Kitchen Culture for reasons unknown to us. Instead, the Board subsequently accepted a loan bearing interest of 10% per annum along with an additional term that the loan could be defaulted if there was any change in the composition of the Board".

Mr Liu added, "This misstatement of facts if not clarified and rectified by the Company may lead to shareholders being misled and cause damage to the Company's reputation.

OOWAY Group on 16 October 2022, announced that together with 7 other shareholders of Kitchen Culture, they will be convening an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the Company pursuant to Section 177 of the Companies Act, to appoint a new board and remove 5 existing directors. The EGM will be held on 1st November 2022, 9.00 am at Toucan Room Level 4, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, 392 Havelock Road, Singapore 169663.

GBA Business Confidence Index continues to drop

HONG KONG, Oct 17, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) today released the "GBA Business Confidence Index" (GBAI) for the third quarter of 2022. It shows that the current performance for "business confidence" weakened for a fifth straight quarter in Q3 to 41.3 from 43.3 in Q2, reflecting a more challenging reality as both external (rising interest rates and recession risk) and domestic (COVID disruptions and a weak housing market) headwinds worsened in recent months.



Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered, and Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, announced the latest "GBA Business Confidence Index" (GBAI) at a press conference today (17 October).


This in turn prompted corporates to turn more cautious towards the Q4 outlook – the expectations index for business activity fell 2.6 points to 49.9 in Q3 from 52.2 in Q2, below the 50-neutral mark for the first time in nine quarters, indicating there is little hope of a swift pick-up momentum.

Meanwhile, among the 11 cities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), Hong Kong (up 2.8 points to 42.5) and Guangzhou (up 0.9 point to 44.6) were the only two reporting improvements in their "current performance" sub-index. Hong Kong was the only city showing growth in the "expectation" sub-index (up 3 points to 46.3).

"With the recent relaxation of quarantine rules for inbound visitors, we expect Hong Kong to remain on a recovery path in the coming quarters," said Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China, Standard Chartered. "That said, a recovery is likely to be modest, given the intensifying external (looming recessions in the West and a slowing China) and domestic (higher interest rates and a weak housing market) drags."

Financial services sector improves while tech plunges

Financial services was the only industry sector that saw improvements in both the "current performance" (up 7.9 points to 47.3), and "expectations" (up 9.1 points to 51.5) sub-indices. The sector likely benefited from recent policy easing, be it via the lowering of banks' own borrowing costs or relaxation towards the real-estate sector, which could help banks mitigate some of the related downside risks to asset quality and loan growth.

Tech companies saw the biggest plunge in the "current performance" and "expectation" sub-indices, falling 10.7 points to 39.6 and down 15.3 points to 46.0, respectively. "Slowing consumer demand, strong capacity growth and high inventories globally, coupled with lingering domestic concerns stemming from prior regulatory tightening, likely explained the sharp fall," Mr Lau added.

COVID disruption lessens

The GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services, and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.

About half (49%) of the respondents said they have been affected by the pandemic in recent months in terms of transportation and/or logistics disruption, but more than 90% said China's recent shortening of the quarantine period for inbound travellers would help improve business. Over 80% said China's real-estate downturn would have limited or no impact on the overall economy. Meanwhile, most of the respondents said the impact of a potential reduction in US-China trade tariffs would be minimal, as any tax cut is likely to be small in scale and scope.

Asian markets outperform

The survey found that respondents have become more cautious regarding the market outlook and have broad-based growth concerns. Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, said respondents remained relatively upbeat regarding the outlook in Asian markets. Mainland China saw the highest share of gross positive responses, followed by Hong Kong and Macao, as well as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) bloc.

"We expect the GBAI will rebound gradually when the pandemic subsides and business activities are able to fully return to normal. Yet, economic headwinds, lukewarm demand, fluctuating global markets and rising costs remain the key challenges ahead."

Kitchen Culture Rejects Requisition to Remove 5 Directors, Sharply Criticises Major Shareholder OOWAY Group for Factual Inaccuracies and Mischaracterisations to the Media

SINGAPORE, Oct 14, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – The Board of Directors (the "Board") of Kitchen Culture Holdings Ltd. ("Kitchen Culture" or the "Company") today rejected a requisition to remove 5 of its 6 directors, and sharply criticised its largest shareholder, OOWAY Group Ltd. ("OOWAY"), for conveying to the media factual inaccuracies and mischaracterising recent events.

The Board, with the exception of Madam Hao Dongting ("Mdm Hao"), said that there are no grounds to justify the resignations. The Board had received a notice (the "Section 177 Notice") – issued under Section 177 of the Companies Act 1967 – on 30 September 2022 from OOWAY and 7 individuals who own an aggregate of 21.71% of the Company's shares.

Kitchen Culture was listed on SGX Catalist in 2011 as a provider of solutions and products for kitchens and wardrobes. Its shares have been suspended from trading since July 2021. Its Board has seen several changes since the involvement of OOWAY in October 2020. As announced on 17 July 2022, Mr Lincoln Teo ("Mr Lincoln Teo"), an OOWAY representative and former Interim CEO of Kitchen Culture, ceased to be Executive Director, while 2 new Board members were named – Mr Lau Kay Heng as Vice-Chairman and Non-Executive Director and Mr Peter Lim King Soon as Independent Director.

Kitchen Culture has written to the requisitioning shareholders that the 2 new Board members, Mr Lim Wee Li (Executive Director) and 2 Independent Directors Mr William Teo Choon Kow and Mr Ang Lian Kiat (the "5 Directors") will not resign. The Company stressed that OOWAY had in fact supported the reappointments of Mr William Teo and Mr Ang Lian Kiat at the Annual General Meeting held on 18 March 2022.

"The circumstances suggest that OOWAY may have its own reasons for calling for the replacement of the 5 Directors, which are unknown to the Board, with the exception of Mdm Hao," Kitchen Culture said.

Separately, Kitchen Culture sharply criticised Mr Liu Yanlong ("Mr Liu"), representative of OOWAY, for his remarks to the Chinese-language Lianhe Zaobao newspaper, published on 7 October 2022, and as contained in a 12 October 2022 press release issued on ACN Newswire.

The Board, with the exception of Mdm Hao, said it "notes with grave disappointment that this is at least the second instance in which Mr Liu of the OOWAY has mis-characterised to the media events of the recent past with blatant factual inaccuracies. These efforts are a distraction to the serious matters, as outlined above, which the current Board is working very hard to address."

The Board, with the exception of Mdm Hao, highlighted 5 key matters:

1) The remarks to the media misinterpret the findings of an internal control review by Baker Tilly Consultancy (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. ("Baker Tilly").

It also notes that on 19 August 2021, the Singapore Exchange Regulation Pte. Ltd. ("SGX RegCo") issued a Notice of Compliance ("NOC") for a Special Audit ("Special Audit") to review several matters including the internal control weaknesses noted in the Interim Report issued by Baker Tilly. Matters including the use of the Company's funds – including the funds of S$19 milion raised from February to August 2020 for business transformation, before OOWAY's involvement in the Company in October 2020 – remain within the purview of the Special Auditor and it is premature for Mr Liu or OOWAY to make any insinuations in that regard. The Company is reviewing a draft report in relation only to the Payroll Matters and the Transaction announced by the Company on 29 September 2021. The independent review of the remaining scope of work is on-going. The Company will update shareholders once there are material developments in this regard.

2) It rejects any allegation of impropriety as to the appointment of Mr Lau Kay Heng as director, whose appointment was duly assessed by the Nominating Committee.

3) Regarding the reference in the media to 2 loan matters:

(i) for the loan of S$1.0 million taken up by the Company, the rationale – announced on 30 August 2022 – was to meet anticipated general working capital needs up to the end of 2022; and

(ii) a S$1.5 million interest-free loan proposed by OOWAY had initially come with the pre-condition that a specific candidate had to be appointed as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") of the Company. This condition could not be accepted after the Nominating Committee's due assessment which found the candidate to be not suitable to be the CFO of the Company. Subsequently, the former Executive Director and Interim CEO Mr Lincoln Teo had on 7 July 2022 recommended the Board to accept a proposal by another investor found by the OOWAY Group which contained conditions, among others, that the Company's investment in OTPL be provided as collateral for a convertible loan of S$5.0 million. By late-July 2022, the balance proceeds from the past fundraising activities were reduced to the precariously low level of S$26,559 while liabilities accumulated under the management of Mr Lincoln Teo amounted to approximately S$935,000.

4) There is no basis to state "OOWAY Technology [Pte. Ltd.] [("OTPL")] is Kitchen Culture's most valuable asset".

OOWAY has made many promises of injecting profitable businesses to the Company but did not make good its promises since becoming shareholders of the Company in October 2020 and had management control of the Company between July 2021 and July 2022.

It is noted that the OTPL and its subsidiaries ("the OTPL Group") recorded losses in 2020 and 2021. The Company's share of OTPL Group's losses amounted to approximately S$910,000 and S$803,000 for the 12 months ended 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2022, respectively.

5) As to Mr Liu's remarks to the media on the Section 177 Notice, the Board said that since the resignation of Mr Lincoln Teo and appointments of the 2 new Independent Directors, the current Board has achieved significant progress in the last 3 months, by:

– successfully negotiating payment terms for liabilities incurred during Mr Lincoln Teo's tenure, including rental arrears for the Company's office premises and unpaid salaries;
– reducing overhead costs significantly by terminating services of 6 staff (4 of whom were existing/former employees of companies related to Mr Lincoln Teo) who were receiving almost S$600,000 in combined salaries and allowances annually from the Company; and
– securing a S$1 million loan to settle immediate debts as well as to provide short term working capital.

The current Board is also in the process of evaluating the acquisition of new businesses that are cashflow positive and profitable.

In its letter to the requisitioning shareholders, the Board, with the exception of Mdm Hao, said the Directors will continue to act honestly and diligently in discharging their functions and duties and will continue the ordinary course of business for the Company.

Further, the Board wishes to state that it has this afternoon received a letter dated 14 October 2022 from the requisitioning shareholders enclosing a Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") and proxy form, and giving notice that the EGM will be held on Tuesday, 1 November 2022, 9.00 a.m. at Toucan Room Level 4, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, 392 Havelock Road, Singapore 169663. A further announcement will be made in this regard on SGXNet.
