HONG KONG, July 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VistaJet continues to build on its China growth and demonstrates a commitment to the region by expanding its team and launching a Chinese language website. This follows a surge of interest from the April launch of a bespoke WeChat booking platform.
A photo accompanying this announcement is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/ad9eb7bd-25fd-42a3-a217-8ca72c35e18e VistaJet’s USD2.5 billion global infrastructure demonstrates the company’s commitment to providing the ultimate business aviation solution for corporate leaders, governments and UHNWIs. Additionally, expansion plans in China are being geared to creating a seamless flying experience for the increasingly tech savvy Chinese customer. The company launched its WeChat booking service in April 2017, allowing customers to access VistaJet’s fleet of over 70 fully-owned and identically branded aircraft worldwide, connect with a 24/7 global team to book their flights from their mobile phones and ensure that customers receive first-hand information, directly from the business - and without delay. This is an exciting new period of customer growth for the business. VistaJet’s Program Membership sales continued to accelerate with a 57% year-on-year growth worldwide, while global customer retention reached 91%. China is one of the fastest growing markets for the company, with a first half 12% increase in passenger traffic departing from the country, and a 14% gain in passengers arriving. VistaJet has also sold over 6,000 new hours of annual subscriptions globally during the first half of 2017 alone. The company’s renewal hours more than tripled in the first half of the year, and the number of new Program customers rose by 61% compared to the same period a year ago. With its unique business model offering customers access to its full fleet without the asset risk, the Asia team secured a 100% customer renewal rate in Greater China. |

EZAKI GLICO CO., LTD. LAUNCHES ENGLISH VERSION OF POPULAR EDUCATIONAL APP GLICODE (TM)
OSAKA, Japan, July 31 (Bernama-AsiaNet) --
| Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. (Ezaki Glico: https://www.glico.com/global/), is pleased to announce the launch of an English version of GLICODE (TM) -- a fun-educational programming app that allows kids as young as six to learn the basics of programming using Ezaki Glico's popular confectionary "Pocky." (Photo: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/img/201707274144-O1-pdO74vV8) (Image1: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/img/201707274144-O2-2sC8395m) (Image2: http://prw.kyodonews.jp/img/201707274144-O3-xFyX68vZ) Download URL: http://cp.glico.jp/glicode/app-global/ Since its initial launch in Japan 2016, Ezaki Glico has organized and facilitated various GLICODE (TM) workshops across Japan and also participated in national programming events as well as overseas. GLICODE (TM) has also been recognized at many award shows like Cannes Lions, One Show and more. Through our efforts and recognition, Ezaki Glico has received many requests to localize the app for a larger market. In response to this, Ezaki Glico has decided to release an English version of GLICODE (TM). GLICODE (TM) webpage: http://cp.glico.jp/glicode/en/ GLICODE (TM) Youtube: https://youtu.be/UiWkUqKif6o Ezaki Glico believes GLICODE (TM) will benefit children everywhere, helping them learn the basics of programming and algorithmic thinking in a hands-on and engaging way. By lining up physical "Pocky", kids can build a coding sequence that controls the game's character. The app's UI, levels and gameplay are specifically designed to make learning simple, fun and interactive, and teaches the three basic fundamentals of programming: Basic Syntax, Loops and IF Statements. "Ever since its establishment, the business activities of Ezaki Glico have adhered to the corporate philosophy of 'Enhancing Public Health through Food.' This is the reason why Ezaki Glico launched this GLICODE (TM). GLICODE (TM) makes it possible for kids to learn programming easily in an enjoyable way by using our confectionary 'Pocky'," says Hirohisa Tamai, Assistant Global Brand Manager, Advertisement Division, Creative Team, Ezaki Glico. For over 95 years, Ezaki Glico has always believed that eating and playing are the two most important parts of a child's healthy growth and development. That's exactly why in 1922 the company founder, Mr. Ri-ichi Ezaki, launched Glico's first ever confectionary as a heart-shaped caramel with a toy. The iconic Glico caramel and its toy are loved by many Japanese and represent this very belief. As culture and technology change, Ezaki Glico has the opportunity to redefine what fun is and how Ezaki Glico as a company can better contribute to a child's growth and development. Ezaki Glico hopes GLICODE(TM) can act as a next-generation Glico caramel toy (Omo-cha), one that is just as educational as it is fun and that benefits a much larger community of children, not only in Japan but around the world.

VERTIV SELLS ASCO® TO SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
Sale enables greater focus on core business
COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vertiv, formerly Emerson Network Power, today announced plans to sell its ASCO® business as it continues to sharpen its focus on the digital critical infrastructure space. The $1.25 billion sale to Schneider Electric allows Vertiv to apply additional resources toward business and technological advancements in its core data center, telecommunications and commercial and industrial markets.
As Vertiv has repositioned itself after being sold to Platinum Equity in November 2016, it became clear that ASCO’s strengths in the automatic transfer switch arena fell outside the new organization’s more focused strategy, said Vertiv CEO Rob Johnson.
“This sale is a significant step forward in our evolution as the premier provider of digital critical infrastructure solutions,” Johnson said. “This is consistent with our strategy of focusing on our customers and aligning the strengths of our organization – deep domain knowledge in IT and facilities applications, global scale and service coverage – to better meet their needs.”
Platinum Equity Partner Jacob Kotzubei praised Vertiv’s progress.
“Thanks to strong leadership and the commitment of Vertiv employees around the world, the company is performing exceptionally well, and the transformation of the business is right on track,” said Mr. Kotzubei. “The sale of ASCO will further support those efforts and help Vertiv continue focusing on its core business. Given the amount of cash proceeds expected to be generated from the sale, we will evaluate a number of capital structure alternatives that would be beneficial to all stakeholders."
The sale price of $1.25 billion reflects a multiple of 11.7x adjusted EBITDA for CY2016. The sale is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close by Q4 2017.

A.M. BEST AFFIRMS CREDIT RATINGS OF PROVIDENT INSURANCE CORPORATION LIMITED
SINGAPORE, July 28 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- A.M. Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb” of Provident Insurance Corporation Limited (PICL) (New Zealand). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect PICL’s adequate risk-adjusted capitalization, prudent reserving and conservative investment portfolio. Moreover, despite the company’s start-up nature, its operating performance and claims experience during its first four years of operations have been largely consistent with initial projections.
Partially offsetting these positive rating factors are the company’s increasing underwriting leverage and a high expense ratio. Due to the delayed premium recognition of its core motor warranty products, growth in earned premium and underwriting profits tend to lag behind growth in incurred expenses. Hence, increased underwriting leverage from above-target premium growth over the short term could result in additional pressure on the company’s risk-adjusted capitalization, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR).

'XI JIA' PAN (823 B.C. CHINA): ANCIENT BRONZE PLATE BREAKS AUCTION RECORD
HANGZHOU, China, July 26, 2017 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--
A few days ago, an eye-catching bronze 'Xi Jia' Pan (823 B.C.) was sold at Xiling Yinshe Auction (www.xlysauc.com) with a remarkable price of RMB 212.75 million ($31.5 million, commission included), setting a new record for Chinese works of art in China.
'Xi Jia' Pan, with as many as 133 characters of inscription, is the only existing bronze from the Western Zhou Dynasty collected by the royal family of Southern Song Dynasty. Wang Guowei, a famous modern Chinese scholar, held it of greater importance than 'Mao Gong' Ding (Duke Mao Tripod), which is treasured in the "National Palace Museum" in Taipei. According to Wang, 'Xi Jia' Pan's original owner Yin Jifu was not only a great politician and military strategist, but also the collector and compiler of Shijing (Book of Songs), China's earliest collection of Chinese poetry.

CALVIN KLEIN, INC. ANNOUNCES FALL 2017 CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC GLOBAL ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
NEW YORK, July 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Calvin Klein, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], today announced the Fall 2017 CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC global multi-media advertising campaign. The campaign features the debut CALVIN KLEIN 205W39NYC collection by Chief Creative Officer Raf Simons.
Shot by photographer Willy Vanderperre, the visually striking campaign presents a cast of 22 models shot against a series of billboards that feature images from last season’s CALVIN KLEIN: American Classics campaign. The billboards of the previous campaign – which include works by artist Andy Warhol – were erected in the California desert in the days leading up to the shoot. The campaign is a study in art and artifice, of the real and the imagined, the mannered world of high fashion combined with a sense of the everyday. Ultimately, the campaign explores the cinematic and romantic outsider’s view of America, something of a dream world that has become concrete for Chief Creative Officer Raf Simons and Creative Director Pieter Mulier.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 (Bernama) -- The Special Committee on Competition gathered for the first meeting for 2017, led by the Malaysia Competition Commission (MyCC). This Special Committee on Competition was formed fundamentally to discuss related issues on competition law as well as to ensure there is consistency in the application of the law between sector regulators.

Meanwhile, SPAD informed that it continues to monitor the working environment especially at various airports in ensuring the quality of taxi services as well as
assessing the quantity sufficiency of taxis servicing passengers from airports.
SC informed the meeting that it launched a new “Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance” which is a set of corporate governance best practices for listed
companies in the country.
EC briefed that the Electricity Supply Act 1990 [Act 447] has been amended in 2015 and the amendments came into force on 1 January 2016. This amendment has not included any new provisions on competition and may be considered in the future. In addition, the Gas Supply Act 1993 [Act 501] has been amended in 2016 and the new amendments came into force on 16 January 2017. The amendments have incorporated a new chapter on competition into Act 501.

The invest.com Group Announces Token Generation Event for Stox, A New Prediction Market Platform
The Bancor-Based Platform Will Allow Anyone to Predict Events Using the Wisdom of the Crowd
TEL AVIV, Israel, July 19 (BUSINESS WIRE)-- Continuing its quest to democratize investing for all, The invest.com Group is today announcing an upcoming token generation event for Stox, a new prediction-based trading platform.
invest.com was founded in 2014, employs a team of 200 across five countries, has 3M registered clients, and generated $50M in annual revenue for 2016.
Stox will be issued as a smart token using the Bancor protocol, which the team has evaluated to be the best blockchain based liquidity solution.
STX will hold BNT in its reserve which would guarantee continuous and high liquidity, enabling anyone to purchase STX directly through the smart token with Ether, as well as liquidate STX back to Ether — notably, with low slippage and no spread.
“We are excited to collaborate with Stox and support their effort to become a pioneer member in the Bancor network. We believe that the guaranteed liquidity and the stability of STX will benefit token holders, the Stox project at large and provide a strong case study for the Bancor protocol,” said Eyal Hertzog, Chief of Product, Bancor.
This token generation event will allow Stox to develop a prediction market trading platform that allows STX holders to use crowdsourced information and their own predictions to forecast the outcome of any event, across a wide range of categories. Smart contracts will manage the reconciliation based on the probability of outcomes, crowd sizes participating in the prediction events, as well as initial pledges.
Among its features, the blockchain-based platform will be fluid, meaning, prediction patterns and assessments will change upon daily occurring events. Users will also be able to create prediction polls, allowing them to take positions on specific events at any time. Entry prices, for example, for any specific poll, will be able to change and fluctuate based on the predicted values.
“Stox is a transformative step in our journey, as it allows us to combine the power of blockchain with the array of infrastructure, technical, sales and marketing assets that are currently powering invest.com,” said Ophir Gertner, Founder of The invest.com Group.
