Latest analyst report finds Trend Micro holds three times the market share of number two player

HONG KONG, CHINA - Media OutReach - June 24, 2020 - Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704),
the global leader in cloud security,
today announced it has been ranked #1 in 2019 market share for Hybrid Cloud
Workload Security, according to IDC's Worldwide
Hybrid Cloud Workload Security Market Shares, 2019 (doc #US46398420,
June 2020)
report.

With a market
share of 29.5% last year, three times that of the number two vendor, Trend
Micro was described in the report as the "800-pound gorilla" in this space and
"the dominant leader in SDC workload protection."

"As IDC
mentions in its report, our leadership position in this space is no accident.
We spotted how important workload security was going to be more than a decade
ago and have been building out our capabilities ever since," said Wendy Moore, vice president of product marketing for
Trend Micro. "While other vendors shout loudly about their professed
leadership, IDC's findings paint a different picture. Trend Micro continues to
build on our market position with new products and capabilities designed to support our customers'
growth ambitions in hybrid cloud and cloud infrastructure services."

IDC defines
hybrid cloud workload protection as protecting the VMs and containers that run
on top of SDC environments. Trend Micro made its first moves in this space back
in 2009, by investing significantly in recently acquired host-based
intrusion-prevention and firewall software for cloud and virtualized data
center environments.

The report goes on to mention that the keys to Trend Micro's position include
significant cloud innovations, as well as the acquisition of Cloud Conformity
to tackle customers' cloud misconfiguration challenges. Additionally, a
partnership with Snyk helps to address vulnerabilities stemming from DevOps
teams' reuse of open source code repositories.

Following
the successful acquisition of Cloud Conformity, an AWS Technology Partner of
the Year in 2019, Trend Micro has continued to build-out its non-AWS
capabilities, with support for VMs on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Kubernetes
platform protection, and integration of container image scanning in the  Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

Trend Micro
created a GCP Connector to automate the discovery and protection of GCP VM
instances and was named 2019 Google Cloud Technology Partner of the Year for
Security.

According to IDC, "Trend Micro has not rested on its position, rather
continues to invest." To this end, Trend Micro launched Cloud One at the end of
2019. This unified SaaS platform holistically addresses customer cloud security
challenges in several key areas: data center servers and VMs; IaaS workloads;
containers and container services; cloud security posture management; cloud
file & object storage services; and serverless.

The IDC
market share ranking comes on the back of similar recognition for Trend Micro in the Forrester
Wave™: Cloud Workload Security, Q4 2019 report.

SINGAPORE
- Media OutReach - 24
June 2020 - Multiply
Capital, a subsidiary of IFS Capital Limited, has launched its new website in
Singapore, providing financing for micro and small businesses in Singapore.

Made for
Small Businesses

Multiply's
unique set up allows it to offer financing to businesses typically deemed too
small for financing. These include start-ups,
sole-proprietorships/partnerships, and other small enterprises, where the
average working capital requirement is ~S$30-50k. 

Since
Multiply started, its average loan size is around S$20k, with the smallest
invoice funded being $500.

Innovation
through Intrapreneurship

Multiply
was started via IFS' intrapreneurship and incubation programme, aiming to
empower entrepreneurs within the company to come up with innovative business
ideas to better serve their clients. 

The idea
for Multiply was conceived when the team noticed a gap for smaller sized loans,
which tend to not be profitable for most financing companies to provide.
Further, smaller companies tend to have limited, incomplete financial data,
which adds to the difficulty in doing an accurate risk assessment and credit
evaluation.

Jonathan
Chong, Chief Operating Officer of Multiply Capital, commented, "With the
resources and the experience of IFS, as well as the agility and nimbleness of
our start-up, we were able to develop a fast and affordable service for micro
and small enterprises.

Changing
the way Business is Being Conducted

Multiply
offers small-ticket working capital loans and invoice financing.

"We saw a
demand in the market as smaller companies had a lot of their cash flow locked
up in unpaid invoices. That gave us the idea to start this segment of our
business," added Jonathan Chong, the Chief Operating Officer of Multiply
Capital.

With the
help of cutting edge open-source technologies, such as Amazon Web Services,
Machine Learning, and NoSQL, Multiply is able to lower our cost via a simple
team structure, proprietary origination platform, credit assessment model, and
the constant optimisation of operational workflow.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - EQS Newswire - 24 June 2020 - As African oil and gas countries struggle with Covid-19's devastating impact
on demand, two international groups seem to be celebrating it.

Earlier this month, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) described the low
oil prices caused by the pandemic as a "golden opportunity" for
governments to phase-out fossil fuel support and usher in an era of renewable
energy sources.

"Subsidising fossil fuels is an inefficient use of public money and
serves to worsen greenhouse emissions and air pollution," OECD
Secretary-General Angel Gurría said in a joint OECD-IEA statement. "While
our foremost concern today must be to support economies and societies through
the Covid-19 crisis, we should seize this opportunity to reform subsidies and
use public funds in a way that best benefits people and the planet."

I would argue that the OECD and IEA don't necessarily know what's best for
the people who live on this planet. Pressuring governments to stop supporting
fossil fuels certainly would not be good for the African oil and gas companies
or entrepreneurs striving to build a better future. And it could be downright
harmful to communities looking at gas-to-power initiatives to bring them
reliable electricity.

Too often, the discussion about climate change - and the call to leave
fossil fuels in the ground- is largely a western narrative. It does not factor
in the needs of low-income Africans who could reap the many benefits of a
strategic approach to oil and gas operations in Africa: reduced energy poverty,
job creation, and entrepreneurship opportunities, to name a few.

Ironically, a policy that would jeopardize Africans' ability to realize those
benefits is being recommended at the same time protesters across America are
calling for equity in some of the same areas. Although police violence against
people of color is at the center of the protests - a response to the horrific
death of a black man, George Floyd, after a white police officer knelt on his
neck for nearly nine minutes - the protests also point to social and economic
disparities between the races in America.

While I don't want to exploit the death of George Floyd, I do see parallels
between the racial disparities in America and the struggles of Africans whose
lives could be improved through oil and gas. I always see a common pattern of
ignoring black and African voices.

Too often in America, the value of black lives was not given proper
consideration until George Floyd's death forced the topic to the forefront and
rightly so. And on the global stage, OECD and IEA are dismissing the voices of
many Africans who want and need the continent's oil and gas industry to thrive.
I would advise these organizations not to ignore the needs of poor people in
African countries.

As it stands, African energy entrepreneurs, the African energy sector, and
Africans who care about energy poverty are basically saying, "I can't
breathe."

It's time to get the knees off their necks.

The Dangers of Energy Poverty

Consider the impact of energy poverty. Approximately 840 million Africans,
mostly in sub-Saharan countries, have no access to electricity. Hundreds of
millions have unreliable or limited power at best.

Even during "normal times," energy poverty is dangerous. The
household air pollution created by burning biomass, including wood and animal
waste, to cook and heat homes has been blamed for as many as 4 million deaths
per year. How will this play out during the pandemic? For women forced to leave
their homes to obtain and prepare food, sheltering in place is nearly
impossible. What about those who need to be hospitalized? Only 28 percent of
sub-Saharan Africa's health care facilities have reliable power. Physicians and
nurses can't even count on the lights being on, let alone the ability to treat
patients with equipment that requires electricity - or store blood,
medications, or vaccines. All of this puts African lives at risk.

That's what makes gas-to-power initiatives so critically important: It only
makes sense for African countries to use their vast natural gas reserves for
power generation. And we're already making progress on that front. Today, about
13 African countries use natural gas produced domestically or brought in from
other African countries, and there's every reason to believe this trend will
grow.

In Cameroon, for example, Victoria Oil and Gas PLC already provides domestic
gas for power generation, and its subsidiary, Gaz du Cameroun (GDC), has agreed
to provide the government gas for a new power station with the potential to
accommodate growing demand.

And in Mozambique, the Temane power plant, also known as Mozambique
Gas-to-Power, is being developed now, and plans are underway to develop a second
plant. Both will rely on Mozambique's Rovuma basis for feedstock.

I have heard calls, including some from the OECD, for the development of
sustainable energy solutions to meet Africa's power needs. Great - let's go for
it. I'm all for renewable energy solutions, but Africans should not be forced
to make either-or-decisions in this area. Energy poverty is a serious concern,
and it's wrong to make it more difficult for African countries to use a readily
available natural resource to address it.

Investment - Not Aid

One of the benefits of oil and gas operations in Africa is they provide
opportunities for both indigenous companies and for foreign ones. And as
foreign companies comply with local content laws, they invest in the
communities where they work. Africa needs those investments, particularly
training and education programs that empower people to make better lives for
themselves.

I want to be clear: Africa does not need social programs, even educational
programs, that come in the form of aid packages. What's more, offering Africa
aid packages to compensate for a halt or slow-down of oil and gas operations
will not do Africans any good. I tried to make that point recently during a
friendly debate with Prof. Patrick Bond, a very bright man and a distinguished
professor at the University of the Western Cape School of Government. He argued
that Africa should keep all of its petroleum resources in the ground to
minimize greenhouse gas emissions and prevent further climate change. Developed
nations, the professor continued, should compensate Africa for that sacrifice,
and Africa could use that money to develop other opportunities. No. This is not
the time for Africa to be calling for more aid. Africa has been receiving aid
for nearly six decades, and what good has it done? We still don't have enough
jobs.

Investment creates opportunities, meaning Africans aren't receiving, they're
doing. They're learning, working, building, growing, deciding. We, as Africans,
must be responsible. Our young people should be empowered to build an Africa we
all can be proud of. Relying on the same old policies of the past, relying on
aid, simply isn't going to get us there.

The truth is, no matter how you feel about the American Shale Revolution,
Africans can learn from it. One of the reasons it succeeded is because you had
small businesses willing to take a chance on new technology. They worked hard,
and in the end, they boosted production. America became the largest crude oil
producer in the world. Those companies made something extraordinary happen, and
so can African businesses. We need more entrepreneurs willing to seize
opportunities and, in some cases, make mistakes. That's how we grow and learn.
We need government leaders to do their part by creating a welcoming environment
for foreign investors and establishing local content policies that result in
opportunities for business partnerships, quality jobs, and learning
opportunities for Africans.

Africa is capable of building a better future, of ending energy poverty,
strengthening our economy, and improving the lives of everyday Africans. If
we're smart about it, and we work together with purpose, our oil and gas
resources can help us get there.

And that's why this is a horrible time for OECD, IEA, or any other outside
organizations, to interfere with our natural resources.

Don't Stand in Our Way

I understand and respect the OECD and IEA's commitment to preventing climate
change. But when you describe the chance to harm a major African economic
sector as a great opportunity, there's something wrong.

When you put independent African oil and gas companies at risk, you're
saying your objectives are more important than African livelihoods and
aspirations.

American institutions are coming under fire for failing to recognize that
Black Lives Matter and to work alongside African-American communities to create
positive change.

I encourage the OECD and IEA to take a different approach.

This is an opportunity for all of us to join forces, to take a team approach
to growing Africa's energy sector, and to do it without dismissing Africa's
right to capitalize on its own natural resources.

• Stable outlook a reflection that APICORP's credit profile is resilient to negative pressures stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price shock
• Key drivers of the rating include APICORP's intrinsic credit features, excellent capitalization, low risk profile, high credit quality of its borrowers and strong risk management practices
• Fitch assesses APICORP's access to capital markets and alternative sources of liquidity as 'strong'
• This second rating makes APICORP the only financial institution in the MENA region rated 'AA' by Fitch and 'Aa2' by Moody's

DAMMAM, SAUDI ARABIA - EQS Newswire - June 23, 2020 - The Arab Petroleum Investments Corporation (APICORP), a multilateral development financial institution, today announced that Fitch Ratings assigned it a Long-Term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'AA' with a Stable Outlook.

Image link: https://bit.ly/381eatu
Image link: https://bit.ly/317vQlC

According to Fitch, APICORP's Long-Term IDR of 'AA' is based on excellent capitalization with low risk profile, and strong liquidity assessment with a 'medium risk' business environment. The Stable Outlook reflects Fitch's view that "APICORP's credit profile is resilient to negative pressures stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price shock."

Furthermore, Fitch affirmed that APICORP, as a commercially focused MDB with an above-peer level of internal capital generation, has been profitable in almost every year since its inception. This is, in Fitch's view, due to very limited credit losses, as evidenced by the high credit quality of its borrowers and 'very low' NPL [non-performing loans], as well as strong performance of the equity portfolio.

Dr. Ahmed Ali Attiga, CEO of APICORP, said: "We are pleased that the new rating from Fitch reaffirms APICORP's robust and healthy financial profile, underpinned by a sustainable business model that continues to drive value and growth. This is a testament of APICORP's ability to execute its important public mandate in the strategic and vital energy sector within our Member Countries, and beyond. Moreover, we are delighted with the recognition of our strong and prudent governance and risk management frameworks, policies, and tools, which alongside our strong business origination and management, ensure APICORP's overall resilience, despite the COVID-19 pandemic and oil price fluctuations."

Notably, Moody's Investor Service reaffirmed APICORP's credit rating of 'Aa2' with a 'Stable' outlook, in April this year, reflecting its strong financial fundamentals, despite current economic and market shocks.

This second rating makes APICORP the only financial institution in the MENA region rated 'AA' by Fitch and 'Aa2' by Moody's.

APICORP also posted strong financial results for the year ended 2019, including a 17% Y-O-Y increase in net recurring income to USD112 million, up from USD96 million at year end 2018. Moreover, APICORP's General Assembly ratified a landmark callable capital increase to USD8.5 bn, in April 2020, demonstrating strong shareholder support and long-term commitment.

volumes and customer adoption. It is now one of the fastest growing payments
offerings from Ingenico ePayments, providing unique local acquiring and payment

impressively high payment approval rates. By working with leading acquiring
banks such as Sberbank and Alfa Bank, Ingenico has seen impressive approval
rate increases of up to 20% for customers. A high approval rate is crucial for

customer base, helping companies like Air China, All Nippon Airways, inCruises, Joom and SHEIN accept payments from Russia with
ease.

New features designed for personal life begin to roll out in preview to the Microsoft Teams mobile app today

SINGAPORE
- Media OutReach - 23 June 2020 - Microsoft today announced new Teams features
that extends beyond work life to personal life. The new features are designed to alleviate the need for disparate
tools and instead, offer one central hub for individuals, groups, and families
to collaborate, stay connected and organized.

Users can expect to connect, collaborate,
and jointly organize their lives across work groups, friends, and family. The
new features start to roll out in preview to the Teams mobile app today and
will be fully rolled out in the coming weeks.

"We are using multiple apps and tools--both online
and offline--such as calendars, email, messaging, photo apps, to-do lists, and
documents to manage it all. Every day more people love what Teams does for
them because it is the hub for teamwork that lets you chat, meet, call, and
collaborate all in one place. And while Teams is great for work, we believe it
can help everyone better manage their responsibilities across work and personal
life. With these new features, we
hope to extend the power of Teams to your personal life whether you're managing
daily family life or just trying to stay connected and in sync with those who
matter most," said Rami
El Bayadi, Regional Director, Microsoft Office Asia.

With
the new features, Microsoft hopes to
provide users one app that seamlessly manages work and personal life as well as
staying connected with those who matter most. Microsoft Teams will now provide
the tools for users to manage daily life; share grocery lists, organize across
family calendars, safely store important information like Wi-Fi passwords and
account info, and even see location updates when loved ones arrive home or at
other locations like work or school.

• Stay connected with text chat and
  video calling: Microsoft Teams will become the messaging hub
  for all personal chats and video and voice calls, with fun features like
  sharing GIFs, photos, videos, documents, and even location already integrated.
  Users can create groups to chat and call, to stay connected with family and
  friends.
• Keep everyone on the same page and
  pick up where they left off: Users will
  be able to stay organized by sharing lists, documents, and calendars all within
  the group dashboard.
  Microsoft Teams will allow users to easily go
  back and see the chats, tasks, pictures, videos, and group calendars shared
  within the dashboard,
  providing a great way to pick up
  conversations or projects where they left off.
• Collaborate and share important
  documents efficiently and securely:
  Microsoft Teams integrates with other Microsoft
  365 apps so users can easily share from Word, Excel, and PowerPoint right from
  within the Teams app. All documents are also stored on OneDrive and users can
  now access these documents across other devices - whether it is for planning a
  family budget or preparing kids' schedules.
• Easily share location and information: Location sharing* is now available as part of these new
  personal features as well, making it easier for users to share their location
  and find their friends.

Microsoft Teams will also come with a Safe, which lets users securely
store and share important information, like passwords, rewards numbers, or
login information. Users can easily share this information directly from the
Teams app with families and friends, all backed by the security of two-factor
authentication and end-to-end encryption.
