Monthly trading value reached a record high of JPY 306.4 billion in April 2025. Fujitsu will serve as the service provider for the Fujitsu RFQ platform, responsible for service development, provision, and utilization support. TSE, as the licensor and operator of the CONNEQTOR system, will provide support for the platform's implementation. Andrew Walton, General Manager, Trading, ASX comments: 'ASX is excited to partner with Fujitsu and TSE to explore the opportunities the Fujitsu RFQ platform can deliver for the Australian market. With the ability to increase liquidity and price discovery, ASX sees the potential to support the development of this market segment and its participants. We will be engaging extensively with the Australian industry to gather feedback to assess the feasibility of launching this platform in the first half of 2026.' Satoshi Takura, Senior Executive Officer, TSE (Senior Executive Officer & CIO, Japan Exchange Group) comments: 'It is great to join forces on the feasibility of a service based on TSE's CONNEQTOR. By providing international and diverse market functions, we hope to contribute to the development of the global ETF market from a technological perspective.' Masaru Yagi, Corporate Executive Officer, EVP, Fujitsu comments: 'Fujitsu is excited to explore this opportunity to provide the Fujitsu RFQ platform for the Australian Securities Exchange. Leveraging our deep experience in building and maintaining financial infrastructure with cutting-edge technology, we're confident that our strong partnership with the Tokyo Stock Exchange will unlock even greater value for the ASX and its global customers.'

Is WidePoint Positioned to Capitalize on Spiral 4 Contract Activity?
WidePoint Corporation WYY is making visible progress under the Department of Defense's Spiral 4 contract, positioning it for long-term execution gains. This contract, valued at up to $2.7 billion across multiple vendors, represents a major pipeline opportunity. The opportunity is especially timely as many task orders under the previous Spiral 3 vehicle are approaching the first quarter of 2025, WidePoint secured two new task orders under Spiral 4, adding to a base-year award announced earlier, which holds a potential 10-year value of roughly $25 million. While the latest awards were modest in size, management noted that increased activity and incoming Requests for Quotations ('RFQ') are signs of growing traction. Several awards under Spiral 3 are set to end by mid-2025 and WidePoint expects momentum to pick up as agencies transition contracts to the new support this growth, the company is expanding its internal team dedicated to Spiral 4, indicating confidence in both pipeline conversion and long-term execution. Unlike most competitors on the vehicle, WidePoint delivers managed mobility and lifecycle services that go beyond core carrier offerings — a point it believes strengthens more RFQs in motion and an active shift from Spiral 3 to Spiral 4, WidePoint appears focused on capturing recurring task orders under this large-scale federal contract. The coming quarters will be key in determining whether early progress can translate into sustainable growth across its federal portfolio. While WidePoint is steadily gaining ground under Spiral 4, other federal mobility providers are also making moves under the same contract. Among them, EchoStar Corporation SATS and T-Mobile US, Inc. TMUS have emerged as key players positioning themselves within this through its subsidiary Hughes Network Systems, is leveraging Spiral 4 to expand the role in federal mobility by offering integrated 5G and satellite-backed connectivity solutions. The company's focus remains on delivering secure, wide-area coverage for mission-critical use cases, especially in remote or infrastructure-limited environments. However, ongoing operational scrutiny around its wireless service obligations could pose challenges as EchoStar scales within the federal space.T-Mobile is also participating in Spiral 4, bringing its nationwide 5G network and secure mobility offerings to the federal market. On June 13, 2024, the company was selected by the U.S. Department of the Navy as a wireless solutions provider under the $2.67 billion contract. The award enables Department of Defense agencies to procure wireless services and equipment from T-Mobile for the next 10 years. Through Spiral 4, the company is offering voice, data, fixed wireless, IoT and mobility management services, all supported by its national 5G network. T-Mobile continues to build on its product portfolio and track record in government, aiming to serve both military and civilian agencies with scalable, secure solutions.
