Antalpha Anchors $150 Million Financing in Aurelion Treasury; Initiating NASDAQ’s First Tether Gold Treasury

Prestige Wealth Inc. (NASDAQ: PWM) Plans to be Renamed to Aurelion Inc. (NASDAQ: AURE) Subject to Approvals
$100 Million Private Placement & $50 Million Senior Debt Facility
Antalpha Anchors Aurelion Treasury, Exclusively in Tether Gold (XAU₮) for Resilience and Transparency

SINGAPORE, Oct. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Antalpha Platform Holding Company (NASDAQ: ANTA) (“Antalpha”), a leading institutional digital asset financing platform, today announced that it has invested approximately $43 million as lead investor and acquired controlling voting rights in Prestige Wealth Inc. (NASDAQ: PWM; AURE) (“Aurelion” or the “Company”) through participation in a committed private investment in public equity (“PIPE”), alongside accredited investors including TG Commodities S.A. de C.V. (“Tether”) and Kiara Capital Holding Limited (“Kiara Capital”), invested by Antalpha’s management. The Company (NASDAQ: PWM) is expected to be renamed as “Aurelion Inc.”, subject to approvals, and will trade under the new ticker (NASDAQ: AURE) beginning Monday, October 13, 2025.

“We are excited to collaborate with Tether, the largest stablecoin company in the world, to expand the trusted digital gold ecosystem. Digital assets will be more tangible to many when one can walk into a jewelry store and redeem a gold bar with Tether Gold (XAU₮). Through Antalpha RWA Hub, we hope to deliver new capabilities and services like this that will increase the liquidity and product offerings of Tether Gold (XAU₮),” said Paul Liang, CFO of Antalpha.

“Adding to Antalpha RWA Hub, we are excited to anchor Aurelion Treasury, the first pure–play NASDAQ Tether Gold (XAU₮) Treasury, to increase access to tokenized gold, which has strategic importance in the digital asset world. People and institutions need a safe haven to safeguard against inflation, fiat currency devaluation and crypto volatility. As a leading digital asset financing platform, Antalpha has common interest to fortify our own balance sheet with a significant gold reserve through Tether Gold (XAU₮) to improve collateral resilience,” continued Paul Liang.

Strategic Rationale
Antalpha Reserve 2.0 builds on Antalpha’s pilot program earlier this year when it acquired $20 million of Tether Gold (XAU₮). In early October, we announced a collaboration with Tether to launch Antalpha RWA Hub to increase access to Tether Gold (XAU₮). The $43 million PIPE lead investment in Aurelion Treasury represents the next phase of Reserve 2.0: scaling Antalpha’s Tether Gold (XAU₮) reserve with institutional infrastructure, governance and transparency.

Gold has served as the ultimate benchmark of value for more than 5,000 years, consistently providing a natural hedge amid macroeconomic volatility and political uncertainty. Its negative correlation to the U.S. dollar index (DXY) amidst global crises and inflationary cycles as well as serving as a safe haven to crypto volatility highlight the value of gold on the blockchain.

Tether Gold (XAU₮) addresses these vulnerabilities by being 100% physically backed and redeemable for LBMA–standard bullions stored in Switzerland. Since launching in 2020, approximately 7 tons of gold have been acquired to back Tether Gold (XAU₮), providing institutional–grade transparency, verifiability and liquidity. By committing to Tether Gold (XAU₮) as Aurelion’s sole treasury reserve, Antalpha aims to smooth volatility, preserve liquidity and increase collateral resilience, which supports Antalpha’s management philosophy of risk management first.

Transaction Highlights
Antalpha invested approximately $43 million in Aurelion’s approximately $100 million PIPE, along with accredited investors, including Kiara Capital for $6 million and Tether for $15 million. Following this transaction, Antalpha holds a stake of approximately 32.4% (or approximately 73.1% of the voting rights) and Kiara Capital holds a stake of approximately 8.6% (or approximately 18.9% of the voting rights) in Aurelion, based on the Company’s outstanding shares and assuming no exercise of PIPE warrants. With plans to continue fundraising to purchase additional Tether Gold (XAU₮), Aurelion believes its concentrated shareholding can provide more stability and ensure smoother operations.

Conference Call Information
Antalpha leadership will host a conference call at 8:30 am U.S. Eastern Standard Time on October 14, 2025 to discuss the transaction.

To attend, please register in advance at: https://register–conf.media–server.com/register/BIdf5d33a26d64454da01f41f3d6c9610e. Upon registration, you will receive the dial–in number, passcode, and your unique access PIN, as well as an email with a calendar invite.

North Atlantic France SAS reaches a key milestone in its project to acquire a majority stake in Esso Société Anonyme Française SA and 100% of ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS, with the signing of a share purchase agreement

ST. JOHN’S, NL, CANADA, Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

North Atlantic France SAS reaches a key milestone in its project to acquire a majority stake in Esso Société Anonyme Française SA and 100% of ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS, with the signing of a share purchase agreement

ST. JOHN’S, NL, CANADA, September 24, 2025 – North Atlantic France SAS (“North Atlantic”) announced on May 28, 2025, that it had entered into exclusive negotiations with ExxonMobil France Holding SAS (“ExxonMobil”) for the acquisition of ExxonMobil’s entire stake in Esso Société Anonyme Française SA (“Esso S.A.F.”) and ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS by signing a put option agreement. Following the information and consultation process of employees’ representative bodies, North Atlantic today announces that it has entered into an agreement with ExxonMobil to acquire ExxonMobil's entire stake in Esso S.A.F. (the “Controlling Block”) and EMCF.

This marks an important step in North Atlantic’s project to establish a long–term presence in France, contributing to European energy security, industrial resilience, and energy transition.

The completion of the project remains subject to customary regulatory conditions applicable to this type of operation, including foreign direct investment control in France, and finalization of certain financing arrangements.

Ted Lomond, President and CEO of North Atlantic, President of North Atlantic France stated: “Our commitment to France is long–term. By building on Gravenchon’s record of industrial excellence, we aim to strengthen energy security and resilience while accelerating the transition to lower–carbon solutions. This project reflects our ambition to grow North Atlantic into a premier transatlantic energy company, with strong foundations on both sides of the Atlantic.”

Simon Fenner, CEO of North Atlantic France stated: “With the signing of this agreement, North Atlantic reaffirms its ambition to consolidate the Gravenchon site and provide it with an ambitious development plan to serve the French energy and industrial sectors. We are firmly committed to completing the transaction by year–end.”

As a reminder, on May 28, 2025, North Atlantic had announced that following the acquisition of the Controlling Block in Esso S.A.F., it would file a mandatory tender offer for the remaining shares of Esso S.A.F. on the same financial terms as the acquisition of the Controlling Block.

Furthermore, it should be noted that the Board of Directors of Esso S.A.F. has convened a Shareholders Meeting on November 4, 2025 to deliberate on the proposal for a distribution of reserves, amounting to €60.21 per share, with payment scheduled for November 14, 2025.

During the discussions between ExxonMobil and North Atlantic over the past months, the two parties agreed to a downward adjustment of the purchase price for the Controlling Block, to reflect certain social liabilities. This downward adjustment will not affect the price offered to minority shareholders of Esso S.A.F. in the context of the mandatory tender offer for the remaining shares, which will be determined after taking into account the various adjustments described in the press release dated May 28, 2025, namely:

     (i)   a downward adjustment to reflect the amount of cash distributed by Esso S.A.F. prior to the date of completion of the acquisition of the Controlling Block (i.e., an amount of €113.21 per share, corresponding to a dividend of €53 per share payable on July 10, 2025, and an amount of €60.21 per share in respect of the distribution proposed by Esso S.A.F. and to be paid on November 14, 2025, subject to the approval of the Esso S.A.F. shareholders meeting);

     (ii)   upward adjustment by a ticking fee mechanism corresponding to accrued interest on (i) a first base amount of €362,000,000 at the euro short–term rate plus 2% per annum between March 2, 2025 and the closing date, and (ii) a second base amount of €950,000,000 at a rate of 2.4% per annum between March 2, 2025 and the closing date;

     (iii)   upward or downward adjustment to reflect the change in the euro value of Esso S.A.F.’s inventory and equal to the difference between the crude oil value of ten (10) million barrels as of December 31, 2024 and the crude oil value of the same number of barrels as of a period prior to closing that will depend on the date of the contemplated transfer of the ownership of ESAF inventory to a bank.

The final price for the acquisition of the Controlling Block will be definitively set prior to the completion of the transaction and will be communicated to the market in due course.

The completion of the transaction is still expected in Q4 2025. North Atlantic reiterates its commitment to delivering a comprehensive and well–managed transition, with the intention to maintain employment and existing compensation and benefits.

North Atlantic France SAS franchit une étape clé dans son projet d’acquisition d’une participation majoritaire dans Esso S.A.F. et 100% d’ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS, avec la signature d'un contrat d’acquisition d’actions

ST. JOHN’S, NL, CANADA, 24 sept. 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

North Atlantic France SAS franchit une étape clé dans son projet d’acquisition d’une participation majoritaire dans Esso Société Anonyme Française SA et 100% d’ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS, avec la signature d’un contrat d’acquisition d’actions

ST. JOHN’S, NL, CANADA, le 24 septembre 2025 – North Atlantic France SAS (« North Atlantic ») a annoncé, le 28 mai 2025, être entrée en négociations exclusives avec ExxonMobil France Holding SAS (« ExxonMobil ») en vue de la cession de l’intégralité des participations d’ExxonMobil dans Esso Société Anonyme Française SA (« Esso S.A.F. ») et dans ExxonMobil Chemical France SAS (« EMCF ») par la signature d’une promesse d’achat. A l’issue du processus d’information et de consultation des instances représentatives du personnel, North Atlantic annonce aujourd’hui avoir conclu, avec Exxon Mobil un contrat d’acquisition de l’intégralité de la participation d’ExxonMobil dans Esso S.A.F. (le « Bloc de Contrôle ») et EMCF.

Cette étape marque une avancée importante dans le projet de North Atlantic de bâtir une présence de long terme en France, au service de la sécurité énergétique, de la résilience industrielle et de la transition énergétique européennes.

Ce projet reste soumis aux formalités et autorisations réglementaires relatives à ce type de transaction, notamment en matière d’investissements étrangers en France, ainsi qu’à la finalisation de certains accords de financement.

Ted Lomond, Président Directeur Général de North Atlantic et Président de North Atlantic France a déclaré : « Notre engagement envers la France s'inscrit sur le long terme. En nous appuyant sur l’excellence industrielle du site de Gravenchon, nous entendons renforcer la sécurité énergétique et la résilience tout en accélérant la transition vers des solutions bas carbone. Ce projet reflète notre ambition de faire de North Atlantic un acteur énergétique transatlantique de premier plan, avec des bases solides des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. »

Simon Fenner, Directeur Général de North Atlantic France a déclaré : « Avec la signature de cet accord, North Atlantic réaffirme son ambition de consolider le site de Gravenchon et de lui offrir un projet de développement ambitieux au service du secteur de l'énergie et de l’industrie française. Nous nous engageons avec détermination dans la finalisation de la transaction d’ici la fin de l’année. »

Pour rappel, le 28 mai 2025 North Atlantic avait annoncé qu’à l’issue de l’acquisition du Bloc de Contrôle, North Atlantic déposerait une offre publique d’achat obligatoire pour les actions restantes d’Esso S.A.F. aux mêmes conditions financières que l’acquisition du Bloc de Contrôle.

Par ailleurs, il est rappelé que le Conseil d’administration d’Esso S.A.F. a convoqué une Assemblée Générale des actionnaires le 4 novembre 2025 en vue de délibérer sur une proposition de distribution de réserves, pour un montant de 60,21 € par action dont la mise en paiement devrait intervenir le 14 novembre 2025.

Dans le cadre des discussions qui ont eu lieu ces derniers mois entre ExxonMobil et North Atlantic, les deux parties sont convenues d’intégrer un ajustement à la baisse du prix d’acquisition du Bloc de Contrôle afin de tenir compte de certains passifs sociaux. Cet ajustement à la baisse ne s’imputera pas sur le prix qui sera proposé aux actionnaires minoritaires d’Esso S.A.F. dans le cadre de l’offre publique d’achat obligatoire sur les actions restantes, lequel sera déterminé après prise en compte des différents différents ajustements décrits dans le communiqué du 28 mai 2025, à savoir :

     (i)    un ajustement à la baisse pour refléter le montant de trésorerie distribué par Esso S.A.F. avant la date de réalisation de l’acquisition de bloc (soit un montant de 113,21 € par action, correspondant à un dividende de 53 euros par actions mis en paiement le 10 juillet 2025 et un montant de 60,21 € par action au titre de la distribution proposée par Esso S.A.F et devant être mise en paiement le 14 novembre 2025, sous réserve de l’approbation de l’assemblée générale des actionnaires d’Esso S.A.F.) ;

     (ii)   un ajustement à la hausse par un mécanisme de ticking fee correspondant aux intérêts calculés (x) sur un premier montant de base de 362.000.000 € au taux d’intérêt à court terme européen (€STR) plus 2% par an entre le 2 mars 2025 et la date de réalisation, et (y) sur un second montant de base de 950.0000.000 € au taux de 2,4% par an entre le 2 mars 2025 et la date de réalisation ;

     (iii)   un ajustement à la hausse ou à la baisse pour refléter un changement dans la valeur en euros du stock d’Esso S.A.F. et égal à la différence entre la valeur du pétrole brut de dix (10) millions de barils au 31 décembre 2024 et la valeur de ce même volume sur une période préalable à la réalisation de l’opération qui dépendra de la date du transfert envisagé de propriété de l’inventaire d’Esso S.A.F. à un établissement bancaire.

Le prix final pour l’acquisition du Bloc de Contrôle sera fixé définitivement avant la réalisation de l’opération et sera communiqué au marché en temps utiles

La finalisation de cette transaction reste prévue pour le dernier trimestre 2025. North Atlantic rappelle s’être engagée à assurer une transition complète et bien gérée, avec l’intention de maintenir l’emploi et les rémunérations et avantages existants.

سِلك المالية (SILQFi) تستحوذ على أوكسو (OXO) لإطلاق أومني (Omni)

الرياض، المملكة العربية السعودية, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —  أعلنت سِلك المالية (SILQFi) عن إطلاق منصتها الجديدة أومني (Omni) التي تهدف إلى دمج التمويل مباشرة في العمليات اليومية للشركات الصغيرة والمتوسطة (SMEs)، وذلك بعد استحواذها على شركة أوكسو (OXO) الرائدة في سوق نقاط البيع في السعودية.

تهدف المنصة إلى تبسيط سير عمل التجار من تأمين المخزون وإدارة التدفقات النقدية إلى التسهيلات المالية من خلال أدوات التمويل المدمج، حيث تدمج المنصة بين أنظمة نقاط البيع، والمشتريات، والمدفوعات، والوصول اللحظي إلى الائتمان من خلال واجهة مستخدم واحدة.

تستفيد أومني (Omni) من قاعدة أوكسو (OXO) الحالية التي تضم أكثر من 10,000 تاجر عبر قطاعات متنوعة مثل: التجزئة، الضيافة، المطاعم، التجارة الإلكترونية، تجار الجملة، والموزعين المحليين، حيث تم معالجة أكثر من 7 مليارات ريال سعودي من المعاملات عبر النظام. ومن خلال أومني (Omni)، تقوم سِلك المالية بدمج البنية التحتية المالية مباشرة في هذا الهيكل التشغيلي الذي يُعد العمود الفقري للاقتصاد المحلي، مما يسمح للتجار بأتمتة إعادة ترتيب المخزون، والوصول إلى خطوط ائتمان ديناميكية بناءً على المبيعات الفعلية، وتقديم شروط دفع مرنة دون الحاجة إلى أطراف خارجية أو أوراق إضافية أو مخاطر التحصيل. والأهم من ذلك، أن يحدث كل هذا ضمن سير العمل الطبيعي للتاجر، دون الحاجة إلى التبديل بين المنصات أو الأدوات الخارجية.

إحدى أبرز الابتكارات في أومني (Omni) تكمن في قدرته على جمع بيانات المعاملات غير المتصلة بالإنترنت، وهي بيانات غالبًا ما كانت مغفلة من قبل المُقرضين التقليديين، مما يعزز شفافية الائتمان للمشاريع الصغيرة والمتناهية الصغر ويسهم في تحسين فرص التمويل لهذه الفئة.

صرّح محمد الدوسري، الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة سِلك المالية (SILQFi):
“غالبًا ما تتجاهل الأنظمة المالية التقليدية البيانات التفصيلية والفورية التي تمر عبر أنظمة نقاط البيع، وهي بيانات تكشف عن الإيقاع الفعلي والموثوقية للأعمال الصغيرة”. وأضاف: “مع أومني، نحن نغير ذلك. من خلال الاستفادة من هذه البيانات غير المستغلة، نعمل على تحسين رؤية الوضع الائتماني وتمكين الوصول العادل إلى رأس المال من خلال أدوات مالية مدمجة مصممة حول سير عمل التاجر”.

وتابع قائلاً: “التمويل لا ينبغي أن يكون مرحلة معزولة أو معقدة، بل يجب أن يكون جزءًا طبيعيًا من كل خطوة في العملية التجارية. من خلال أومني، نضع التمويل في مكانه الصحيح: خلف كواليس العمليات، حيث يعمل بسلاسة وهدوء ليحول كل عملية بيع أو شراء إلى فرصة للنمو والتوسع.”

قد قامت شركة سِلك المالية (SILQFi) بالفعل بالشراكة مع البنك السعودي الأول (SAB) و“شركة هونغ كونغ وشنغهاي المصرفية المحدودة” (HSBC) لتوفير حلول الإقراض المدفوعة بالبيانات للمشاريع الصغيرة والمتوسطة. ويأتي هذا في وقت تسعى فيه السعودية لتحقيق هدفها الوطني بزيادة تمويل المشاريع الصغيرة والمتوسطة إلى 20% من محفظات البنوك بحلول عام 2030.
ومع وجود 1.3 مليون مشروع صغير ومتوسط في المملكة، 87% منها مصنفة كمشاريع متناهية الصغر، يتصدى أومني (Omni) مباشرةً لفجوة التمويل في السوق التي تقدر بحوالي 650 مليار ريال سعودي.

من جانبه، قال علي الحازمي، الشريك المؤسس والرئيس التنفيذي لشركة أوكسو (OXO):

“لطالما سعينا في أوكسو إلى تبسيط العمليات، لكن عملائنا كانوا بحاجة إلى ما هو أكثر من ذلك. أرادوا تمويلًا مرنًا وسهلًا، لأنفسهم وعملائهم. ومع سِلك المالية، استطعنا تقديم هذا التحول الحقيقي في تجربة التاجر. أومني ليست مجرد منتج جديد، بل هي فلسفة تشغيل متكاملة ونقلة في طريقة إدارة التجارة.”

تضمن المنصة أيضًا الامتثال لقرار الفوترة الإلكترونية في المملكة العربية السعودية وتدعم الاحتياجات الفريدة للقطاعات المختلفة، سواء في إدارة الطلبات، إصدار الفواتير المتوافقة مع هيئة الزكاة والضريبة والجمارك (ZATCA) أو مزامنة المشتريات والمبيعات والائتمان.

تعد أومني (Omni) بداية التوسع الإقليمي الأوسع لشركة سِلك المالية (SILQFi). وبينما يركز الإطلاق الأولي على المملكة العربية السعودية، ستعمل المنصة كحلقة وصل نحو النظام المالي المدمج الأوسع لمجموعة سِلك (SILQ Group) الذي يهدف إلى ربط منطقة الخليج بالأسواق الرئيسية في آسيا الناشئة.

SILQFi Launches Omni Following Acquisition of OXO

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Sept. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — SILQFi, on a mission to build the financial rails for small businesses to grow, today announced the launch of Omni, a new platform designed to embed finance directly into the everyday operations of small and medium–sized businesses (SMEs), following its acquisition of OXO, a key player in the Saudi POS market.

The platform integrates point–of–sale, procurement, payments, and real–time credit access into a single interface. It aims to streamline merchant workflows, from sourcing inventory to managing cash flow, while improving access to capital through embedded financial tools.

Omni builds on OXO’s existing base of over 10,000 merchants across sectors including retail, hospitality, restaurants, e–commerce sellers, wholesalers, and local distributors, with more than SAR 7 billion in transactions already processed through the system. With Omni, SILQFi embeds financial infrastructure directly into this operational backbone, allowing merchants to automate inventory reordering, access dynamic credit lines based on real–time sales, and offer flexible payment terms without the need for external parties, added paperwork, or collection risks. Crucially, all of this happens within the merchant’s natural workflow, no toggling between platforms or third–party tools.

One of Omni’s most significant innovations is its ability to capture offline transaction data, long ignored by traditional lenders, which boosts credit visibility for micro and small enterprises.

“Traditional financial institutions often overlook the rich, real–time data flowing through POS systems – data that reveals the true rhythm and reliability of small businesses,” said Mohammed Aldossary, CEO of SILQFi. “With Omni, we’re changing that. By harnessing this untapped data, we’re improving credit visibility and enabling fairer access to capital through embedded financial tools designed around the merchant’s workflow.”

SILQFi has already partnered with SAB and HSBC to enable data–driven lending solutions for SMEs. This comes as Saudi Arabia pushes toward its national goal of increasing SME lending to 20% of bank portfolios by 2030. With 1.3 million SMEs in the country, 87% of which are classified as micro–enterprises, Omni directly addresses the financing gap estimated at SAR 650 billion.

“At OXO, we’ve always focused on perfecting the cash flow experience for our merchants,” said Ali Alhazmi, Co–founder and CEO of OXO. “As they grew, they needed more than just operational tools, they needed access to credit. Partnering with SILQFi has allowed us to meet that need at scale. Omni isn’t just a POS anymore, it’s the engine of merchant momentum.”

The platform also ensures compliance with Saudi Arabia’s e–invoicing mandate and supports the unique needs of different industries, whether managing orders, issuing ZATCA–compliant invoices, or synchronizing procurement, sales, and credit.

Omni marks the beginning of SILQFi’s broader regional expansion. While the initial rollout focuses on Saudi Arabia, the platform will serve as a gateway into SILQFi’s wider embedded financial ecosystem, aimed at connecting the Gulf with key markets across Emerging Asia.

About SILQFi
SILQFi is building the financial rails that power SME growth across the Gulf and Emerging Asia. As the financial infrastructure arm of SILQ Group, SILQFi delivers embedded, shariah–compliant financing solutions tailored to the real workflows of small businesses. From invoice financing to revenue–based credit, SILQFi bridges capital with commerce, offering fast, fair, and flexible financial tools backed by institutional trust. With over $2 billion in SME transactions financed, SILQFi is redefining access to capital for the world’s most underserved businesses. SILQFi is pioneering embedded finance and digital lending in emerging markets through blockchain, AI, and Islamic finance.

Damit entsteht eine der größten unabhängigen Medienplattformen und –marktplätze weltweit. Diese vereinte Struktur stärkt Equativs Fähigkeit, globale Werbetreibende und Publisher mit Transparenz, Innovationskraft und nutzerzentrierter Technologie zu bedienen. Darüber hinaus profitiert Equativ von einem umfassenden Rebranding seiner visuellen Identität sowie seiner Website.

Dieser Meilenstein feiert die Zusammenführung beider Unternehmen unter einem gemeinsamen Dach und markiert den abschließenden Schritt eines einjährigen Integrationsprozesses nach der Übernahme von Sharethrough durch Equativ im Juni 2024.

Im vergangenen Jahr hat die gebündelte Stärke von Equativ und Sharethrough das Wachstum des Unternehmens deutlich beschleunigt und Equativ als führende unabhängige Plattform etabliert – vertrauenswürdig für tausende globale Marken und alle der „Big Six“–Agenturen. Strategische Partnerschaften mit bedeutenden Akteuren wie der Deutschen Telekom und Titan OS sowie die Übernahme von Kamino Retail unterstreichen zudem Equativs Engagement für Innovation, globale Reichweite und seine Rolle als bevorzugter Partner für ergebnisorientierte Werbetreibende.

„Das ist mehr als ein Rebranding – es ist die Verwirklichung einer gemeinsamen Vision: eine dynamischere, innovativere und ergebnisorientiertere Alternative zur heutigen fragmentierten Adtech–Landschaft zu schaffen“, sagt Ben Skinazi, Chief Marketing Officer von Equativ.
„Gemeinsam haben wir eine globale Plattform geschaffen, die auf Interoperabilität, Intelligenz und messbare Ergebnisse entlang der gesamten Media Journey ausgelegt ist.“

Kampagnensteuerung in einer einzigen Medienplattform: Maestro by Equativ. Marken und Agenturen erhalten damit einen zentralen Zugang zu vielfältigen Lösungen, um in einem zunehmend aufmerksamskeitsgetriebenen Markt messbare Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Dank seiner Omnichannel–Fähigkeiten für CTV, Video, Native, Display und Retail Media vereinfacht Equativ den Ad–Tech–Stack, steigert die Performance und liefert hochwertige Medienumfelder – abgestimmt auf die Anforderungen eines sich schnell wandelnden Medienmarkts.

„In einer Zeit, in der Innovation und Performance entscheidend sind, stellt die Vereinigung von Sharethrough und Equativ einen bedeutenden Schritt nach vorn dar. Durch die Kombination ihrer komplementären Stärken fördern wir Nachhaltigkeit, Transparenz und Kreativität – und ermöglichen es Horizon, mutige, wegweisende Ergebnisse für unsere ambitioniertesten und performance–orientierten Kunden zu erzielen“, erklärt Alex Stone, SVP Agency Partnerships & Advanced Video bei Horizon Media.

Brian O’Kelley, Mitgründer und CEO von Scope3, erklärt: „Ich bin sehr gespannt auf das, was die Zukunft für Equativ bereithält – jetzt, da Sharethrough und Equativ unter einem gemeinsamen Namen vereint sind. Von der Entwicklung wegweisender Green–Media–Produkte bis hin zur frühen Implementierung der agentenbasierten Technologie von Scope3 haben beide Unternehmen die Branche kontinuierlich vorangebracht. Mit der vereinten Stärke ihrer Teams und Plattformen bin ich überzeugt, dass dieses zusammengeschlossene Unternehmen einen noch größeren Einfluss auf die Zukunft programmatischer Medien haben wird.“

Mykim Chikli, seit zwei Jahren strategische Beraterin von Equativ, ehemalige CEO der Publicis Group in EMEA und Asien sowie CEO von Weborama in Frankreich, äußert sich wie folgt: „Als jemand, der jahrzehntelang auf Agenturseite mit globalen Marken gearbeitet hat, habe ich aus erster Hand miterlebt, wie sich die Branche entwickelt hat – und wie fragmentiert und komplex sie geworden ist. Was Equativ mit dieser Vereinigung erreicht hat, ist nicht nur Skalierung, sondern auch Klarheit: eine Plattform, die die Umsetzung vereinfacht, das Nutzererlebnis respektiert und echte, nachhaltige Ergebnisse liefert. Genau solch einen Partner brauchen Agenturen und Werbetreibende im heutigen Markt.“

„Die Plattform von Equativ ist robust, flexibel und hervorragend an unsere Anwendungsumgebung angepasst. Die Teams von Equativ sind reaktionsschnell, aufmerksam und jederzeit bereit, das Setup zu optimieren. Es handelt sich um eine wirklich vertrauensvolle Partnerschaft, die es uns ermöglicht, Werbeleistung mit technologischem Know–how zu verbinden“, sagt Vincent SALINI, Director Digital Sales bei France TV Advertising.

Equativ et Sharethrough opèrent désormais sous la marque Equativ, consolidant ainsi une position de leader mondial des plateformes média

NEW YORK, 09 juin 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Equativ annonce aujourd’hui l’intégration complète de Sharethrough au sein de sa marque et de ses opérations mondiales et devient l’une des plus grandes plateformes publicitaires indépendantes au monde, renforçant ainsi sa capacité à accompagner les annonceurs et les éditeurs mondiaux avec transparence, innovation et technologie axée sur l’utilisateur. En outre, Equativ bénéficie d’une refonte complète de son identité visuelle et de son site Internet.

Cette étape importante célèbre le regroupement des deux entreprises sous un même toit et marque la dernière phase d’un processus de fusion, un an après l’acquisition de Sharethrough par Equativ en juin 2024.

Un extrait multimédia accompagnant ce communiqué est disponible en cliquant sur ce lien.

Au cours de l’année écoulée, la puissance combinée de ces deux sociétés a considérablement accéléré la croissance d’Equativ, qui s’est imposée comme une plateforme indépendante de premier plan à laquelle font confiance des milliers de marques mondiales et l’ensemble des Big Six. Des partenariats stratégiques avec des acteurs majeurs comme Deutsche Telekom et Titan OS, ainsi que l’acquisition de Kamino Retail, démontrent une fois de plus l’engagement d’Equativ en matière d’innovation, sa portée mondiale ainsi que son statut de partenaire privilégié des spécialistes du marketing axés sur les résultats.

« Plus qu’un changement de marque, cette étape marque l’aboutissement d’une vision commune : créer une alternative plus dynamique, innovante et axée sur les résultats dans le paysage fragmenté des technologies publicitaires », a déclaré Ben Skinazi, Chief Marketing Officer d’Equativ. « Ensemble, nous avons bâti une plateforme mondiale conçue pour l’interopérabilité, l’intelligence et les résultats tout au long du parcours média. »

La nouvelle organisation regroupe la planification, la curation, l’activation, l’amélioration et l’optimisation des publicités au sein d’une seule et même plateforme : Maestro by Equativ. Elle offre aux marques et aux agences un accès unique à des solutions diverses pour générer des résultats dans l’économie de l’attention actuelle. Grâce à ses capacités omnicanales regroupant la CTV, la vidéo, les formats natifs, le display media et le retail media, Equativ simplifie une diffusion performante des publicités tout en proposant des médias de qualité, répondant ainsi aux exigences d’un paysage médiatique en constante évolution.

« Dans un contexte où l’innovation et la performance sont primordiales, la fusion de Sharethrough et d’Equativ représente un formidable bond en avant. En alliant nos atouts complémentaires, nous favorisons le développement durable, la transparence et la créativité, ce qui permet à Horizon d’obtenir des résultats audacieux et révolutionnaires pour nos clients axés sur la performance les plus ambitieux », a déclaré Alex Stone, directeur général adjoint d’Agency Partnerships & Advanced Video chez Horizon Media.

Brian O’Kelley, cofondateur et PDG de Scope3, a déclaré : « Je suis vraiment enthousiaste de voir ce que l’avenir réserve à Equativ, alors que Sharethrough et Equativ fusionnent sous un seul et même nom. Qu’il s’agisse de la création de produits médiatiques respectueux de l’environnement ou de l’adoption précoce de la technologie agentique de Scope3, les deux sociétés ont constamment fait progresser le secteur. Grâce à la force combinée de leurs équipes et de leurs plateformes, je suis convaincu que cette fusion aura un impact encore plus grand sur l’avenir des médias programmatiques. »

En tant que conseillère stratégique d’Equativ depuis deux ans, Mykim Chikli, ancienne PDG du groupe Publicis pour la région EMEA et l’Asie et PDG de Weborama en France, a témoigné : « Ayant passé des décennies en agence à travailler avec des marques internationales, j’ai pu constater de visu l’évolution du secteur, ainsi que sa fragmentation et sa complexité. Grâce à cette fusion, Equativ a non seulement gagné en évolutivité, mais aussi en clarté avec une plateforme qui simplifie l’exécution, respecte l’expérience utilisateur et offre des résultats concrets et durables. C’est exactement le type de partenaires dont les agences et les annonceurs ont besoin sur le marché actuel. »

« La plateforme Equativ est robuste, flexible et parfaitement adaptée à notre environnement applicatif. Les équipes Equativ sont réactives, à l’écoute et toujours prêtes à optimiser la configuration. C’est un véritable partenariat de confiance qui nous permet d’allier performance publicitaire et expertise technologique », a déclaré Vincent Salini, directeur commercial numérique de France TV Advertising.

No ano passado, o poder combinado da Equativ e da Sharethrough acelerou significativamente seu crescimento, estabelecendo firmemente a Equativ como plataforma líder independente, utilizada por milhares de marcas globais e todas as Big Six agências. Parcerias estratégicas com grandes players como Deutsche Telekom e Titan OS, e a aquisição da Kamino Retail são exemplos do compromisso da Equativ com a inovação e o alcance global, e do papel como parceiro preferencial de profissionais de marketing orientados a resultados.

“Isso é mais do que uma reformulação de marca – é o ápice de uma visão comum de criação de uma alternativa mais dinâmica, inovadora e orientada a resultados para o atual cenário fragmentado da tecnologia de anúncios”, disse Ben Skinazi, Diretor de Marketing da Equativ. “Juntos, criamos uma plataforma global projetada para interoperabilidade, inteligência e resultados em toda a jornada da mídia.”

O cofundador e CEO da Scope3, Brian O'Kelley, disse: “Estou realmente entusiasmado com o que o futuro reserva para a Equativ, com a união da Sharethrough com a Equativ sob um único nome.
