Bio Farma secures multi-year Purchase Contract from UNICEF for its novel Oral Polio Vaccine type 2 (nOPV2)

BANDUNG, INDONESIA, Oct 2, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – PT Bio Farma (Persero), the holding company for pharmaceutical state-owned enterprises (SOEs), will export its novel Oral Polio Vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) having secured a purchase contract with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) for 2022 & 23. Under the contract, Bio Farma will export its oral polio vaccines based on purchase requests from UNICEF via multilateral contract agreement for the years 2022 & 23.

Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) Minister Erick Thohir has said, "In line with the theme of the Indonesian G20 Presidency, "Recover Together, Recover Stronger", it is important for Indonesia's state-owned enterprises to lead with concrete actions realized through strategic initiatives and large-scale transformations to create global impacts."

Honesti Basyir, President Director of Bio Farma, said, "UNICEF procures nOPV2 under a multilateral supply agreement as part of a global effort to prevent spread of the polio disease. Bio Farma will provide its annual production to the global nOPV2 stockpile, which is a contribution to the global health industry, as we are able to manufacture stockpiles that fulfill world needs. In turn, we will fulfill individual deliveries to target countries or regions following UNICEF request."

The nOPV2 vaccine received an Emergency Use of Listing (EUL) from the World Health Organization (WHO) in November 2020, the first ever vaccine certified for emergency use, adding to Bio Farma's portfolio of products that were already available globally. It was initially used to combat outbreaks of circulating vaccine-derived polio viruses (cVDPVs) in a number of African and East Mediterranean countries.

Bio Farma's nOPV2 vaccine is now distributed internationally, ex-Indonesia, as Indonesia has been polio-free since 2014. Target countries in Africa for the vaccine have included Algeria, Cameroon, Kongo, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria, Senegal, and Uganda. In Europe, it is administered in Israel and Ukraine, and in the Middle East, in Egypt, Iran, Somalia and Yemen.

According to Honesti, nOpV2 vaccine is a result of collaboration between Bio Farma and several international research institutes, including Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), PATH, and the WHO. Bio Farma has since become the main supplier of polio vaccines in the world, and currently contributes 67% of the global stockpile, while Bio Farma's laboratories have become the reference for sampling polio vaccines in the world.

In manufacturing the nOPV2 vaccine, Bio Farma collaborated with world-class institutions like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF), the PATH, and the WHO. Bio Farma has since become the main supplier of polio OPV vaccines in the world, and currently contributes 67% of the global OPV stockpile.

Bio Farma's Laboratories have also been widely acknowledged as reference labs for poliovirus testing, while Bio Farma's success in producing and exporting the nOPV2 vaccines shows the Indonesian company fully contributing to the world health sector, apart from providing the necessary vaccines at home in Indonesia.

In Line with G20

Honesti said Bio Farma's provision of vaccines is in line with a main pillar of the Indonesian G20 Presidency (2021-22), Global Health Architecture. Through its G20 Presidency, Indonesia has showcased its success in controlling the Covid-19 pandemic and maintaining public health and steady economic growth through vaccination. Bio Farma has been a front liner in the government-initiated vaccination program.

Bio Farma has been ready to mass-produce its IndoVac brand Covid-19 vaccine.* On September 24, an Emergency Use of Authorization (EUA) was granted by the Indonesian Food and Drug Authority (BPOM), following the halal certification from the Indonesian Ulema Council (LPPOM MUI), and the Halal Certification Agency (BPJPH).

With this EUA and certification, mass production of IndoVac is beginning immediately, as preparation work for the first batch was already in place at the company's facility in Bandung. Bio Farma plans to increase its production capacity to 40 million doses next year, and to 100 million doses by 2024, given demand in the global markets.

Bio Farma hopes that its IndoVac vacciness can contribute to reducing the spread of Covid-19 in the world, much as its nOPV2 vaccine has contributed to reducing the polio spread.

Q&M Group awards 7 dentists with Performance Shares,12-year Service Agreements, and a Private Placement

SINGAPORE, Sep 30, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Mainboard-listed Q&M Dental Group (Singapore) Limited [SGX: QC7] announced on 29 September 2022 the award of 2,014,245 shares to 7 promising next-generation dentists as part of the Q&M Performance Share Plan (PSP) 2018, as well as the proposed placement of an additional 4,985,755 treasury shares, totalling S$1.75 million, through placement to the same dentists.

These 7 Key Dentists are the recipients of awards under the PSP 2018 by Q&M in its announcement dated 29 September 2022. These Key Dentists have also expressed their interest to subscribe for further shares as an expression of their confidence in and their commitment to the continued success of the company. They intend to enter into an arrangement similar to that entered into between the founding dentists of the Group in respect of Q&M's controlling shareholder, Quan Min Holdings Pte. Ltd., in order to hold their Shares in Q&M.

The placement of 4,985,755 treasury shares at a price of 35.1 Singapore cents is based on the volume weighted average price (VWAP) for trades done on the shares

of Q&M on the Singapore Exchange for the full market day on 29 September 2022, being the market day on which the Placement Letters were executed. This amounts to a gross consideration of S$1.75 million.

"The Board is heartened by the decision of these Key Dentists to cement their association with the Company in tying their long-term futures with the future success of Q&M Dental Group. These high-performing dentists represent some of the very best of the Company's dentists and the quality of their work is demonstrated on a day-to-day basis. We are very pleased to see them take this next major step. The Company's next generation management could even be among them!" said Dr Ng Chin Siau, CEO, Q&M Dental Group.

The Board is approached from time to time by its dentists who seek opportunities to participate in the growth of Q&M through equity investments. Share-based incentive schemes such as PSP 2018 Plan are somewhat limited in scope and do have a direct impact on Q &M's bottom line.

Q&M's Board is thus of the view that a placement exercise to its own dentists brings greater benefit to the Group in the following ways:

– Allows key dentists to participate in the equity of Q&M by investing their own funds, thereby aligning their interests with those of the Group. This alignment of interest promotes greater dedication, loyalty and higher standards of performance amongst dentists; and

– Strengthens the capital base of Q&M and increases Q&M's public spread, which has the potential to improve the level of trading liquidity of its Shares.

Dr Karan Singh Ubhi (one of the 7 Key Dentists) said, "We are grateful for the opportunity given by the Board to participate in the success of the Company and appreciate also the recognition of the work and effort that we have put in. We are firmly committed to the continued success of Q&M Dental Group and hope to contribute positively to its growth going forward."

The Board believes that the Proposed Placement provides an effective way of motivating the Key Dentists to maximise their performance by investing in the Group's future, which will result in creating better value for Q&M and its shareholders.

Dr Tabitha Foo, another of the 7 dentists said: "Having worked at Q&M, I have witnessed first-hand, the commitment of the management in identifying and grooming the next generation of leaders and am extremely proud to be given the opportunity to participate in this share placement and having a personal stake in the success of Q&M."

Q&M board of directors understands that the Key Dentists are in the process of incorporating a new company, "Quan Min Plus 2 Pte. Ltd." to hold their Shares. The Board further notes that a similar voluntary arrangement was entered into previously by another 9 next-gen dentists on the Group through a company called Quan Min Plus Pte. Ltd., as announced by the Company on 23 October 2020.

Q&M intends to use all of the Net Proceeds of approximately S$1.70 million raised for its general working capital purposes, such as business expansions, acquisitions and/or paying off loans.

The Board and management of Q&M will continue to work hard in identifying the best talent within the Company, with the aim of mentoring their growth, grooming some of them to positions of leadership, while also giving them direct opportunities to participate in the growth of the Company in line with their corporate mission.

Philippine Industry Body Launched for Stronger Content Protection and Anti-Piracy Efforts

MANILA, Sep 29, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Today, leading Philippine industry players including, Globe, GMA Network, Inc., Cignal TV, Inc, KROMA Entertainment and Smart Communications, Inc, joined hands with the Asia Video Industry Association's (AVIA) Coalition Against Piracy (CAP) to announce the formation of the Video Coalition of the Philippines (VCP).

The VCP aims to push for stronger intellectual property protection in the Philippines that will protect both original content and users, as well as promote the Philippines creative and media industries, not only in the Philippines but around the world.

VCP convenors will build on the momentum of the presentation of the proposed Revised Intellectual Property Code in the Philippines' 19th Congress in July and the recent Protection of Online Content Summit held on September 2 in Manila.

House Bill No. 0799, filed by Albay 2nd District Rep. Joey Salceda, aims to update the Philippines' patent application system and make it "more attuned to the digital age." It also "provides for technologies and media that were not anticipated" at the time the intellectual property code was enacted.

Proposed revisions also give regulators greater authority to combat IP violations, including the power to issue "permanent blocking orders, takedown orders, cease-and-desist, or disable access orders" against websites, service providers, and online platforms, including social media. The current IP code does not cover electronic or online content in its definition of pirated goods and lacks clear provisions that would allow for efficient and effective site blocking, and other interventions against online IP violations.

CAP General Manager Matt Cheetham said, "With the presentation of Bill No. 0799, "An Act Establishing for the Revised Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines" to the House, the Philippines has a golden opportunity to not only update and future proof its intellectual property regime, but to act as a launching pad for intellectual property to protect consumers and advance the overall Philippine economy."

Cheetham further noted CAP's recent YouGov survey showed Philippine consumers believe a government regulation for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to block pirated content would be the most effective measure to reduce piracy in the Philippines.

Globe, the Philippines' leading digital solutions platform, has been an advocate of anti-piracy through its #PlayItRight advocacy. Globe hopes to rally consumers and stakeholders behind original content creators by making online content affordable and accessible via content subscription.

"Revising the Intellectual Property Code will go a long way in protecting Filipino consumers from the dangers that lurk in pirate sites and improving cybersecurity in the country, especially as Filipinos now rely heavily on digital platforms," said Globe Chief Information Security Officer Anton Bonifacio.

Yoly Crisanto, Globe Group Chief Sustainability and Corporate Communications Officer, said revising the IP Code is necessary to improve the country's regulatory environment just as the government aims for greater digitalization.

"The use of digital technologies and platforms is expected to further expand in the years to come, whether it be for education, finance, health or recreation. It is, therefore, urgent that we provide better protection for the creative industry and give them a secure environment conducive to creativity and innovation," said Crisanto.

"Upholding intellectual property rights in the Philippines enables the creative industry to grow and thrive. KROMA, through the Video Coalition of the Philippines, is committed to collaborate with stakeholders to ensure that this is observed, for the industry's success and sustainability," said Jil Go, KROMA's Head of Broadcast and Publishing.

"GMA's participation in the Video Coalition of the Philippines presents an opportunity to further strengthen our existing anti-piracy initiatives by working with other players in the industry to push for the implementation of site blocking mechanisms and help protect our viewers and GMA content against unauthorized uploaders," said Joseph T. Francia, First Vice President and Head of Operations, GMA International.

Pointing to the impact of site blocking in Indonesia, where traffic to pirate sites has dropped by more than 75% since the government implemented their rolling site blocking procedures in 2019, Cheetham further noted, "The effectiveness of site blocking is backed up by CAP's most recent YouGov consumer surveys in which more than 50% of Indonesian consumers say that they have stopped or rarely access pirate services as a result of the highly efficient and effective blocking measures in place there."

"Perhaps more importantly, 76% of Indonesian consumers say they are accessing more legal content and pirating less, and 26% have subscribed to legitimate sources as a result of illegal streaming sites being blocked. Blocking as an educational tool may also be evident in 95% of Indonesian consumers agreeing that online piracy does have negative consequences – the highest in the region," said Cheetham.

When done efficiently and effectively, site blocking has a massive impact on combating piracy, changing attitudes and protecting consumers.

BayWa r.e. Eyes Expansion of Standalone Power Systems in Australia

PERTH, W AUSTRALIA, Sep 29, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – BayWa r.e., the global energy developer, service provider, and distributor, is looking to expand its offering on Standalone Power Systems (SPS) to more regions in the State of Western Australia, and in the future, nationally, to different market sectors that require remote or standalone power.

This follows the company's success in providing SPS to farming, mining, business communities and homeowners in parts of rural Western Australia at the beginning of 2018, who have greatly benefited from this innovative and cost-effective power source.

According to Western Power, the state owned corporation responsible for providing electricity in Western Australia, Western Australia has one of the largest isolated electricity networks in the world, and the provision of SPS at several sites in rural Western Australia in a trial exercise, helped ensure that the customers received adequate power supply.

Mr. Durmus Yildiz, Managing Director at BayWa r.e. Solar Systems Australia said "We are proud to be a part of powering the remote communities in the State of Western Australia and to be able to put our expertise in energy solutions to benefit the greater community. Through our network of trusted and capable off-grid installers, whom we work with to design and build such SPS. This has enabled BayWa r.e. to cater to different customers, depending on factors such as their required size of the system, location, or customer preference."

These SPS operate independently off the grid and supply continuous power 24 hours a day, using a mix of solar and battery storage and backup generation. It is by far one of the most efficient local energy solutions that allows customers and the wider community in these remote areas to access a steady supply of electricity.

BayWa r.e. expansion plans for its offering of SPS include tapping into other regions in Western Australia, namely, the Kimberley and Pilbara as well as regions in the other states of the country such as the Northern Territory and Queensland. This vision of providing SPS nation-wide is part of BayWa r.e. 's commitment to aid Australia's energy transition processes.

This is in line with the country's climate goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, which would require a rapid construction of an electricity grid running almost 100 percent on renewable energy.

Some benefits of SPS includes serving as a safe and reliable source, maximised efficiency via clean energy storage, reduction in electricity costs, flexibility for communities to place systems where it is needed, and integrated system monitoring for improved maintenance.

"SPS is a clear choice for remote areas, agricultural and mining sectors. It is a reliable and cost-effective energy solution that can power up these communities in the interim as the country continues to expand and improve its electricity grid. We are also confident that through BayWa r.e.'s technical expertise and product knowledge in renewable energy, that new design elements will be implemented to these systems, to further contribute to the state and country's transition towards net-zero emissions," continued Mr. Yildiz.

BayWa r.e. has been operating in Australia since 2016, after transitioning from existing solar wholesaling business Solarmatrix. The Projects team entered the Australian market through the acquisition and subsequent development of the Hughenden Solar Farm in Northern Queensland. The Wind Projects team was established through the acquisition of a local developer, Future Energy, and its project pipeline. In total, BayWa r.e. has delivered seven utility scale wind and solar assets in Australia, including the 112 MW Karadoc and the 106 MW Yatpool solar farms near Mildura in Victoria.

At the helm of sustainable development of their corporations, directors are duty-bound and crucial to leading climate governance actions. HKIoD is honoured to join CGI and to launch CGI HK, and work with partners and collaborators to provide directors with an important platform for exchanging climate governance knowledge and opinions. In addition, CGI HK will strive to have boards include 'Responses to Climate Change' in their regular agenda."

HKIoD will continue to help the Hong Kong business community raise corporate governance standard and together with it build a more brilliant future."

Dr Carlye Tsui, CEO of HKIoD, said, "Climate change and sustainable development have caught eyes in recent years and are key topics many HKIoD training courses cover. In our new role in hosting CGI Hong Kong Chapter, we will help strengthen communication and exchanges with corporate directors and experts from around the world, take reference of their knowledge and experience in enhancing the quality and quantity of our climate governance-related training."

CGI currently has over 20 chapters in its global network with altogether 100,000 members.

CGI HK is a community composing of directors, including non-executive directors ("NEDs") and executive directors ("EDs"), and subject matter experts.

To assist in meeting the challenges arising from climate change, CGI HK's mission is to reach out to directors to advance knowledge, motivate actions and promote best board practice in climate governance. As Chairman of the CGI HK Steering Committee, Dr Carlye Tsui said, "CGI HK acts to empower, enable and engage directors in gaining climate awareness and skills and in embedding climate considerations into board decision-making. Directors should understand and the risks to the success of and opportunities for their organisations that the climate emergency brings. To support directors in climate governance, CGI HK will develop and curate regular forums and training and produce and share relevant published information.
