KGI Bank opens first overseas branch in Hong Kong
Taiwan-based KGI Bank has officially opened its branch in Hong Kong, which will focus on wealth management services. The move marks the bank's first foray into international markets. KGI Bank, a subsidiary of KGI Financial Holding, anticipates that this expansion would enhance operational scale and business capabilities, and also aligns with its international growth strategy. The Hong Kong branch will utilise the extensive resources of KGI Financial and implement a 'One-Window Integration' service model, providing a one-stop platform for a wide range of financial solutions. In the wake of the branch opening, KGI Bank plans to collaborate closely with KGI Securities and CDIB Capital, leveraging their market expertise in Hong Kong. This partnership aims to integrate group resources and offer differentiated financial products and services throughout the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. The 'One KGI' strategy will facilitate a seamless transition from Taiwan to Hong Kong, further solidifying KGI Bank's reputation for comprehensive financial services in the Greater China area. KGI Bank president Kate Lin said the inauguration of Hong Kong branch is a significant milestone for the bank. 'By integrating our Hong Kong branch with KGI Securities, we will be able to deliver robust domestic and cross-border wealth management planning.' In Taiwan, KGI Bank recently secured approval for a Wealth Management 2.0 license from local regulator Financial Supervisory Commission. The bank is actively working to set up a presence in the Kaohsiung Asset Management Hub. KGI Bank provides several financial services such as deposits, loans, payments, credit cards, investment and wealth management, as well as tailor-made financial solutions for domestic and foreign legal entities.

Taiwan's KGI Bank opens first Hong Kong branch with focus on wealth management, family offices
KGI Financial Holding opened its first overseas bank branch in Hong Kong to grow its cross-border business just as the city is making a big push to become a hub for wealth management and global family offices. The Taipei-based financial institution opened its KGI Bank outlet at Three Pacific Place in Admiralty, it said in a statement, a significant milestone in its strategy to become a pan-Asian financial services group. 'With a strong foundation among corporate clients, the branch will further enhance our capabilities in cross-border capital management and financing services,' said Kate Lin, the bank's president. The group also plans to roll out a suite of family office services for corporate clients, she added. Hong Kong strengthened its position as a leading global wealth management hub after assets under management in the city grew 13 per cent to HK$35.14 trillion (US$4.5 trillion) from a year earlier, just shy of the record of HK$35.55 trillion set in 2021, according to a survey published by the Securities and Futures Commission.

Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or TNL Mediagene's future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: "may," "will," "could," "would," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "project," "potential," "continue," "ongoing," "target," "seek" or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements in this communication include, but are not limited to, statements about TNL Mediagene's future business plan and growth strategies and statements by TNL Mediagene's CEO and President. Any statements that refer to expectations, projections or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including strategies or plans, are also forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this communication or elsewhere speak only as of the date made. New uncertainties and risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for TNL Mediagene to predict these events or how they may affect TNL Mediagene. In addition, risks and uncertainties are described in TNL Mediagene's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings may identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. TNL Mediagene cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements in this communication will prove to be accurate. There may be additional risks that TNL Mediagene presently does not know or that TNL Mediagene currently does not believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by TNL Mediagene, its directors, officers or employees or any other person. Except as required by applicable law, TNL Mediagene does not have any duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements in this communication or elsewhere after the date of this communication. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of TNL Mediagene as of any date subsequent to the date of this communication. Financial Data The condensed financial information presented in this press release should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in TNL Mediagene's annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 30, 2025, which provides a more complete discussion of its accounting policies and certain other information. Use and Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Financial Measures In this press release, we have included Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS financial measure, and Adjusted EPS, a non-IFRS measure, which are key measures used by our management and board of directors in evaluating our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are our preferred metrics for profitability because we believe they facilitate operating performance and profit performance comparisons on a period-to-period basis and exclude items that we do not consider to be indicative of our core operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. Our management does not consider Adjusted EBITDA or Adjusted EPS in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. The principal limitation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS is that they exclude significant expenses that are required by IFRS to be recorded in TNL Mediagene's financial statements. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgment by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining such non-IFRS financial measures. For more details on the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS to IFRS financial measures, see the press release and the investor presentation TNL Mediagene released on May 13, 2025.
