Amber Premium Transforms into AMBR, Dedicated to Building Specialized AI Agents for Finance, Enterprise, and Growth

The Nasdaq-listed company marks a fundamental transformation of its business, drawing on nearly a decade of expertise from the team that founded Amber AI in 2017 to build specialized AI agents for high-stakes domains — launching with its flagship personal finance agent, Ambre SINGAPORE, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Amber International Holding Limited (Nasdaq: AMBR) (the "Company"), previously operating under the brand name "Amber Premium", today announced that it is undertaking a fundamental business transformation into the new brand name AMBR. The transformed Company will operate as an agentic AI company dedicated to building specialized AI agents for finance, enterprise, and growth. The Company also announced the launch of Ambre, its flagship AI agent for personal finance, and the availability of MIA, its marketing AI agent, to enterprise clients. Built on AI and Domain Expertise AMBR is established by the same team that founded Amber AI in 2017, which later became Amber Group, bringing nearly a decade of experience across AI, financial markets, and technology into its next chapter. The Company combines AI-native builders with practitioners who have deep experience in financial markets and operating real-world businesses, bringing together advanced AI capabilities with real data, domain context, operational infrastructure, and real workflows to build agents for consequential use cases. "We started as Amber AI in 2017, then spent nearly a decade in markets learning where intelligence stops and consequence begins," said Michael Wu, Founder and CEO of AMBR. "I have spent my career at the intersection of technology and financial markets — from programming and building AI systems to operating businesses in some of the most demanding markets. That experience showed me the gap between intelligence and real-world consequences, and that is what our agents are built for. I am excited about building AMBR full time and supporting the Company as it enters its next chapter." Purpose-Built Agents for Real-World Use Software engineering has been an early proving ground for agentic AI, showing how AI models can move beyond generating answers to completing tasks when connected to the right tools, context, data, and permissions. However, applying this model to other domains is more complex, particularly in areas such as finance and marketing, where agents need to operate within domain-specific data, applicable constraints, established workflows, and risk parameters. AMBR was created to address this challenge by developing AI agents purpose-built for these domains. AMBR's agents are designed from the outset around specific verticals. Their development draws on AI technology, domain expertise, and deep understanding of real-world workflows, with the aim of enabling agents to interpret users' intent, coordinate relevant tasks, and support execution. As agents demonstrate reliability, AMBR aims to progressively expand the scope of tasks they can handle autonomously, particularly in high-stakes domains where expertise, precision, and trust matter. Ambre is the first agent built on this model. Ambre: Turning Financial Intent Into Action AMBR's first flagship product, Ambre, is designed to make personal finance more intelligent, conversational, and actionable. Users can explore their financial information in natural language, with Ambre delivering insights grounded in their actual holdings and interests alongside relevant market intelligence. Beyond answering questions, Ambre can turn a user's objective into an ongoing task carrying out the specific instructions they define and approve — analyzing portfolios across accounts and asset classes, monitoring relevant developments and conditions, and alerting users to developments that affect their holdings. Ambre is now available by invitation, with verified clients of Amber Premium receiving first access. Interested users can join the waitlist on this website. MIA: Agency Expertise, Delivered by an AI Agent MIA, AMBR's specialized AI agent for marketing, is now available directly to enterprise clients. Originally developed and commercially tested within AMBR's businesses, MIA has run more than 1,250 automated workflows, cutting turnaround times by an average of 85% within four months of rollout. MIA follows the same agentic model in a different domain, connecting market intelligence, content production, and distribution into a single workflow. It continuously monitors brands, competitors, market signals, social channels, news, and AI search results to identify relevant opportunities and risks. It then helps teams turn insights into actionable marketing outputs — from research and strategic planning to content development, response planning, and distribution — with review and approval steps keeping users in control. Together, Ambre and MIA demonstrate AMBR's approach of combining AI technology with domain expertise, data, and real-world workflows to build AI agents for specific use cases. The Company expects to introduce additional agents later in 2026. ### About AMBR AMBR (Amber International Holding Limited, Nasdaq: AMBR) is a Nasdaq-listed agentic AI company dedicated to building specialized AI agents for finance, enterprise, and growth — domains where the stakes are high and trust matters most.

Angelaligner Will Appeal Chinese Court Decision about Premolar Extraction Solution, Which Has No Impact on Customers

SHANGHAI, Aug. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Angelalign Technology Inc. (6699.HK) ("Angel") http://www.angelaligner.com said today that it will appeal the August 10 first-instance judgment by the Jinan Intermediate People's Court (Jinan City, China) that directed Angel's Chinese subsidiaries to stop using the masterForce biomechanics simulation system and the ATreat digital diagnosis and design system to generate A7 and A7 Speed premolar extraction solutions. The preliminary decision, which applies only in China, has not taken effect and, therefore, has not impacted the company's customers or patients. The court's ruling would take effect if Angel's appeal is unsuccessful. Angel is confident that the A7 Premolar Extraction Solution does not infringe any valid patent. The Company has won several patent disputes against the Plaintiff in various jurisdictions around the world and strongly advocates for fair competition in the aligner and scanner market. "The court's decision is limited to China. Even in China, there is no immediate impact on our customers," said Fox Hu, CEO of Angel. "We feel very good about growth in orthodontist support for our professional solutions around the world. We feel confident about winning this appeal against our competitor, given we've won a series of similar cases." On May 12, 2026, the Local Division Düsseldorf (Germany) of the Unified Patent Court issued a preliminary ruling expressly rejecting the Plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction requiring Angel to cease using the A7 Premolar Extraction Solution. The Plaintiff did not appeal the ruling, which is now final. The European patent at issue and the Chinese patent at issue in the Jinan case belong to the same patent family. On June 26, 2026, the Zhengzhou Intermediate People's Court of China rendered two first-instance judgments in two disputes over patent infringement brought by the Plaintiff against Angel, dismissing all the Plaintiff's claims. The Plaintiff has appealed the judgments. Angel respects intellectual property and has a history of innovation in its 20-plus years in business. Some of the best orthodontists in the world, including even from competitors, consider Angel a leader in the treatment of complex orthodontic cases. Some competitors are even following in our footsteps, including our angelButton™ and A6 Mandibular Advancement System. Angel has a market capitalization of $2 billion, strong profitability, a solid balance sheet, and a global team of caring professionals. This allows Angel to be a fortress of a long-term partner to orthodontists to create extraordinary clinical outcomes. The Chinese case is part of an ongoing lawsuit brought by Align Technology Inc. (ALGN) ("Plaintiff") against Angel that alleges patent infringement, which Angel denies.
