賓夕法尼亞州費城及加州聖地牙哥, 2026年5月1日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.（「Datavault AI」或「本公司」） （納斯達克代碼：DVLT），一家提供數據變現、 憑證管理、數位互動及實體資產（「RWA」）代幣化技術的供應商，與 CyberCatch Holdings, Inc.（「CyberCatch」）（多倫多證交所代碼：CYBE）（OTCQB 代碼： CYBHF）， 一家提供專利、AI 驅動平台以實現持續合規與網路風險緩解的網路安全公司 ，今日宣布雙方已簽署具約束力的意向書（「意向書」），根據該意向書，Datavault AI 與 CyberCatch 將簽訂最終協議，由 Datavault AI 透過全股票交易收購 CyberCatch 100% 股權，該交易將以《商業公司法》（不列顛哥倫比亞省）規定的法院批准安排計劃形式進 行。根據該意向書並受最終協議約束，Datavault AI 將以每股 CyberCatch 股份 5.11 加元之價 格，換取約 4,990 萬股新發行之 Datavault AI 普通股 （下稱「Datavault AI 股份」），每 股 CyberCatch 股份作價 5.11 加元，這意味著 CyberCatch 已發行且流通中的普通股總價 值為 136,843,820 加元。 所有可轉換或可行使為 CyberCatch 普通股的已發行及流通中 CyberCatch 證券，將以每股 Datavault AI 股份 2.00 美元的視同價值，以無現金行使方式 兌換為 Datavault AI 股份。 待交易完成後，在取得慣例的董事會、證券交易所及任何必要 的監管機構與股東批准的前提下，預計 Datavault AI 股東將持有 Datavault AI 股權約 92.48%，而 CyberCatch 股東則持有約 7.52%（按非完全攤薄基準計算）。 預計 CyberCatch 將作為 Datavault AI 的子公司，於加州聖地牙哥營運；CyberCatch 創辦人、 董事長兼執行長 Sai Huda 將出任該子公司總裁，向 Datavault AI 執行長 Nathaniel T. Bradley 匯報。戰略考量次合併正處於網路安全領域兩個最大長期市場的交匯點。根據 Gartner 的預測，2026 年全球終端用戶在資訊安全方面的支出預計將達到 2,400 億美元；此外，Gartner 另預測 ，到 2029 年，由人工智慧增強的安全領域規模將達到 1,600 億美元，較 2025 年的 490 億 美元顯著增長。 根據 IBM《2025 年資料外洩成本報告》，目前美國資料外洩的平均成本 為 1,022 萬美元，全球平均則為 444 萬美元。監管方面的利好因素正與這股需求趨勢相互交織。 美國國防部「網路安全成熟度模型認 證」（CMMC）計畫的第一階段已於2025年11月10日生效，其中針對第二級合約的強制 性第三方C3PAO評估將自2026年11月起實施，全面執法範圍將涵蓋約22萬家國防工業基 地的承包商及分包商。 CyberCatch的平台專為因應國防領域的該項要求而打造，同時亦 適用於醫療保健領域的HIPAA、製造業的NIST 800-171，以及金融服務業的NIST CSF 2.0等 規範。此整合方案亦已為後量子安全時代做好準備。Google 已將 2029 年定為內部截止期限，屆 時須將驗證系統遷移至抗量子加密技術。此外，Google 量子人工智慧研究證實，保護眾 多數位簽名與驗證系統的橢圓曲線加密技術，可能被擁有少於 50 萬個實體量子位元的超 導量子電腦破解，此數量比先前估計低一個數量級。 CyberCatch 正將其正在申請專利的 「多權威屬性基加密與撤銷」（MARS-MABE）技術進行量子抗性改造，並將 MARS MABE 與 的持續代理式 AI 滲透測試相結合，從而打造出適用於醫療保健、國防、製造、 金融服務及能源等領域的下一代網路安全解決方案。關於 CyberCatch 的平台與領導團隊CyberCatch 獲專利認證、具備 AI 功能的持續性網路安全合規與風險緩解解決方案：· 運用生成式人工智慧確保所有法規要求的控制措施均已到位，並計算出「網路衛生 分數」· 運用代理式 AI 持續模擬威脅行為者的戰術、技術與程序以執行滲透測試，並計算 「網路入侵分數」· 偵測漏洞，以便在威脅行為者得以利用並得逞之前，立即進行修復該平台持續從三個維度——由外而內、由內而外以及社會工程學——對網路安全控制措施 進行測試，並對應於 NIST CSF 2.0、NIST 800-171、CMMC 2.0、ISO 27001、HIPAA、PCI DSS 及其他監管框架，以運用具備專業技能的代理程式進行持續性人工智慧滲透測試， 取代每年一次的手動滲透測試。 相較於當前的 RSA 和 AES-256 加密技術，MARS-MABE 具備多項顯著優勢，例如：· 僅在滿足細粒度使用者屬性條件時，才授予資料存取權限· 可將用戶的存取權限限制於細粒度的資料子集· 可即時撤銷使用者對資料子集的存取權限，無需重新加密整個資料集，從而提升速 度並大幅節省成本CyberCatch 由創辦人、董事長兼執行長 Sai Huda 領導。他是全球公認的網路安全專家， 暢銷書《Next Level Cybersecurity》的作者，加拿大國家網路安全標準的共同起草人，以 及美國專利商標局（USPTO）第 11,297,094 號專利「具量測與評分功能的自動化與持續 性網路安全評估」的發明人。 他曾是 Compliance Coach 的創辦人兼執行長，該公司後被 《財星》500 強企業 FIS 收購，他在 FIS 期間擔任風險、資訊安全與合規解決方案總經理。CyberCatch 的董事會及顧問委員會成員包括：· 湯姆·里奇（Tom Ridge），前美國總統特別助理、首任美國國土安全部部長，以及 兩屆賓夕法尼亞州州長· 馬夫·朗斯頓博士（Dr. Marv Langston），前美國國防高級研究計劃局（DARPA）資 訊系統主任暨美國海軍網路安全主管· 史考特·泰特（Scott Tait），前美國海軍上校，曾任五角大廈聯合參謀長聯席會議 國家安全顧問CyberCatch 的客戶遍及美國國防供應鏈、醫療保健、金融服務、製造業、教育及公共部 門。該公司透過 2026 年 2 月收購多權限屬性基礎加密技術（現以 MARS-MABE 為品牌） 擴展了其能力，並透過與 、Speridian Technologies 及其他多家經銷夥伴建立 2026 年的經 銷與轉介合作關係，為美國政府機構提供服務。額外的戰略效益：橫跨 Datavault AI 技術堆疊的平台整合與網路防禦層交易完成後，CyberCatch 的 AI 驅動軟體即服務（SaaS）平台預計將作為網路安全與持續 合規層，運作於 Datavault AI 現有的技術套件之中，包括：· DataValue®、DataScore® 及 Information Data Exchange®(IDE®)，這些解決方案將 原生運行於 Available Infrastructure 的 SanQtum AI 量子抗性零信任邊緣平台上， 該平台預計於 2026 年底前在 100 多個美國城市部署 1,000 個都市微邊緣新雲據點· 聲學科學部門的技術（WiSA®、ADIO®、Sumerian®）以及 IDE® 部署，服務於體育、 娛樂、生物科技、教育、金融科技、房地產、醫療保健及能源領域的客戶· 針對聯邦政府及受監管產業客戶的工作負載，持續符合 NIST、CMMC、ISO 27001 、SOC 2、HIPAA 及 PCI DSS 框架的合規性證明，正日益成為採購、稽核與合約續 約的先決條件此次擬議的收購旨在為 Datavault AI 的客戶與合作夥伴提供一條從安全運算到 AI 驅動數據 分析的整合路徑，並在每個層級提供持續的合規證明。管理層評論網路安全已不再是與數據和 AI 分離的獨立領域——它是兩者的先決條件。 Datavault AI 執行長 Nathaniel T.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, and CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. ("CyberCatch") (TSXV:CYBE) (OTCQB:CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, today announced they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") under which Datavault AI and CyberCatch will enter into a definitive agreement for Datavault AI to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).Under the LOI and subject to a definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares (being approximately 26.8 million shares) in exchange for approximately 49.9 million newly issued shares of Datavault AI common stock (the "Datavault AI Shares") at CAD $5.11 per CyberCatch share, which implies an aggregate value to CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares of CAD $136,843,820. All issued and outstanding CyberCatch securities convertible into or exercisable for CyberCatch common shares will be exchanged for Datavault AI Shares on a cashless exercise basis at a deemed value of USD $2.00 per Datavault AI Share. Upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary board, stock exchange, and any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, it is anticipated that Datavault AI stockholders will hold approximately 92.48% and CyberCatch shareholders approximately 7.52% of the equity of Datavault AI, on a non-fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI from San Diego, California, and CyberCatch founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda will serve as President of the subsidiary, reporting to Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.Strategic RationaleThe combination is positioned at the intersection of two of cybersecurity's largest secular markets. According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $240 billion in 2026, and Gartner separately projects the AI-amplified security segment will reach $160 billion by 2029, up from $49 billion in 2025. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, with a global average of $4.44 million.Regulatory tailwinds are converging with that demand picture. Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program took effect on November 10, 2025, with mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments for Level 2 contracts beginning in November 2026 and full enforcement extending across approximately 220,000 Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors. CyberCatch's platform is purpose-built to address that mandate in defense, HIPAA in healthcare, NIST 800-171 in manufacturing, NIST CSF 2.0 in financial services, among others.The combination is also positioned for the post-quantum security era. Google has set 2029 as its internal deadline to migrate authentication systems to quantum-resistant cryptography. Separately, Google Quantum AI research demonstrated that the elliptic curve cryptography protecting many digital signatures and authentication systems could be broken by a superconducting quantum computer with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. CyberCatch is converting its patent-pending, multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation ("MARS-MABE") technology to attain quantum-resistance, and combining MARS-MABE with continuous agentic AI penetration testing creates a next-generation cybersecurity stack applicable across healthcare, defense, manufacturing, financial services, and energy.About CyberCatch's Platform and LeadershipCyberCatch's patented, AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution:Uses generative AI to ensure all legally required controls are in place and calculates a Cyber Hygiene ScoreUses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to perform penetration tests and calculates a Cyber Breach ScoreDetects gaps for prompt remediation before a threat actor can exploit and be successfulThe platform tests cybersecurity controls continuously from three dimensions, outside-in, inside-out, and social engineering, mapping to NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regulated frameworks, replacing once-a-year manual penetration tests with continuous agentic AI penetration testing using specialized skill-set agents.MARS-MABE provides several distinct advantages over current RSA and AES-256 encryption, such as:Access to data is provided only if fine-grained user attributes are metAccess to users can be limited to fine-grained data subsetsInstant revocation of user access to data subsets, eliminating the need to re-encrypt the entire data set and providing speed and significant cost savingsCyberCatch is led by founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda, a globally recognized cybersecurity expert, author of the bestselling Next Level Cybersecurity, co-author of Canada's National Cybersecurity Standard, and inventor of USPTO Patent No. 11,297,094, "Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Assessment with Measurement and Scoring." He is the former founder and CEO of Compliance Coach, which was acquired by FIS, a FORTUNE 500 company, where he served as GM, Risk, Information Security, and Compliance Solutions.CyberCatch's board and advisory board include:Tom Ridge, former special assistant to U.S. President, first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and two-term Governor of PennsylvaniaDr. Marv Langston, former Director of Information Systems at U.S. DARPA and Cybersecurity Chief, U.S. NavyScott Tait, former U.S. Navy Commander and National Security Advisor at the Joint Chiefs at the U.S. PentagonCyberCatch's customers span the U.S. defense supply chain, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, and public sectors, and the Company's capabilities were extended through the February 2026 acquisition of multi-authority attribute-based encryption technology, now branded MARS-MABE, and through 2026 reseller and referral partnerships such as with Speridian Technologies and other multiple reseller partners to U.S. government agencies.Added Strategic Benefit: Platform Integration and Cyber Defense Layer Across the Datavault AI StackFollowing closing, CyberCatch's AI-enabled Software-as-a-Service platform is also expected to operate as the cybersecurity and continuous-compliance layer across Datavault AI's existing technology suite, including:DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) running natively on Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI quantum-resistant, zero-trust edge platform across 1,000 urban micro-edge neocloud sites planned in 100+ U.S. cities by year-end 2026Acoustic Sciences division technologies (WiSA®, ADIO®, Sumerian®) and IDE® deployments serving sports, entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy customersFederal and regulated-industry customer workloads where continuous compliance attestation against NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS frameworks is increasingly a precondition for procurement, audit, and renewalThe proposed acquisition is intended to give Datavault AI customers and partners an integrated path from secure compute through AI-driven data analytics, with continuous attestation at every layer.Management Commentary"Cybersecurity is no longer a separate stack from data and AI - it is the precondition for both. CyberCatch's continuous compliance platform is expected to provide another strategic advantage by adding to DataValue®, DataScore®, and the IDE® a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our quantum-secured edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI."Datavault AI's quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as in defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives them a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in," said Sai Huda, founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of CyberCatch.Transaction OverviewUnder the binding LOI, holders of CyberCatch's common shares will receive newly issued common shares of Datavault AI as described above, with CyberCatch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datavault AI. The Datavault AI Shares to be issued are anticipated to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(10), and applicable state securities law exemptions.The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of due diligence, board approvals of both companies, requisite CyberCatch shareholder approval, applicable court approval of the plan of arrangement (British Columbia), and approvals of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary closing conditions. The parties have agreed to negotiate a definitive agreement during a 45-day mutual exclusivity period.About Datavault AIDatavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

SINGAPORE, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Choosing from the many Credit Cards available in Singapore can feel overwhelming, especially when each option highlights different rewards, fees, and benefits. A card that aligns with your lifestyle can help you manage expenses better while offering value through rewards, convenience, and flexibility. Whether your spending leans towards dining, travel, shopping, or daily essentials, understanding a few key factors can help narrow down choices that match how you live and spend.Here are some important factors that can help you evaluate Credit Cards based on real lifestyle needs rather than just promotional offers.1. Understand your monthly spending patternsBefore comparing Credit Cards, it can help to look closely at where your money usually goes each month. Some Singaporeans may opt to spend on dining and food delivery, while others may prioritise groceries, transport, or online shopping. Identifying these patterns can help you shortlist Credit Cards that reward the categories you use most often. This approach can make rewards feel more relevant, rather than spread across benefits you rarely use.2. Evaluate rewards structure and earning ratesCredit Cards offer rewards in different forms, such as cashback, reward points, or air miles, and each structure suits different spending habits. Cashback Cards may appeal to those who prefer straightforward savings, such as earning rebates on eligible categories, often capped at a monthly limit. Rewards or miles cards may suit frequent travellers or shoppers who enjoy redeeming points later.It's also worth checking the base earn rate, which is what you earn on regular spending, and the bonus earn rates offered for certain categories like dining, travel, or online shopping. Many cards also set bonus caps, meaning the higher rewards only apply up to a certain amount of spending each month. Understanding these details can help you see how much you can realistically earn based on your usual spending.3. Consider annual fees versus actual benefitsAnnual fees for Credit Cards in Singapore can range from around SGD 150 to over SGD 500. Some premium cards offer perks such as lounge access, dining privileges, or travel insurance. However, these additional benefits provide better value if you use them often enough to offset the higher fee. Many cards also provide fee waivers for the first year, which can help users test whether the card fits their lifestyle. Comparing the annual fee against how realistically you will use the perks can help determine whether the overall value feels balanced for your spending habits.4. Assess eligibility and income requirementsIn Singapore, most Credit Cards have minimum annual income requirements, usually starting from SGD 30,000 for citizens and permanent residents, and higher for foreigners. Premium cards may require annual incomes of SGD 120,000 or more. Understanding eligibility early can help avoid unnecessary applications and credit checks. Choosing a card aligned with your income range can also help ensure smoother approval and manageable credit limits that fit comfortably within your financial situation.5. Review interest rates and repayment flexibilityWhile Credit Cards can offer convenience and rewards, interest rates in Singapore often range between 25% and 28% per annum if balances are not paid in full. Some cards offer repayment features, such as instalment plans that split larger purchases into smaller monthly payments, or balance transfer options that can help consolidate existing credit card outstanding balances at a lower interest rate for a promotional period. Looking at repayment features, interest calculations, and payment flexibility can help support responsible usage, especially during months with higher expenses or unexpected costs.6. Check overseas usage and foreign currency feesFor those who travel or shop internationally, foreign currency transaction fees are an important consideration. Most Credit Cards in Singapore charge around 3.25% on overseas transactions. Some travel-focused cards may offer lower fees or even 0% FX fees on eligible transactions, while others may provide higher miles earn rates for foreign spend. Evaluating how often international spending occurs can help decide whether such features can add value or if a general-purpose card works just as well.Final thoughtsChoosing the right Credit Card is less about chasing the biggest offer and more about finding a match for your lifestyle and spending habits. By considering rewards, fees, perks, and usability through a practical lens, Credit Cards can become a supportive financial tool rather than a confusing product. Taking time to compare options thoughtfully can help ensure the card you select continues to add value as your lifestyle evolves.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

MOSCOW, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 2nd Open Dialogue "The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth" took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts.According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet."Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries," the honorary guest of the event stated.According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty.The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: "Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries' markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together."Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life.At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: "Investing in People," "Investing in Connectivity," "Investing in Technology," and "Investing in the Environment."The winner in the "Investing in Technology" track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space.Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the "Investing in Connectivity" track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control.In the "Investing in the Environment" track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country's real wealth.The winner of the "Investing in People" track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange.The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the "Investing in People" track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models.More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithRussiaMedia ContactsBrand: Russia National CentreContact: Media teamEmail: pressa@russia.ruWebsite: https://en.russia.ru Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
