We're sure that the new ownership will be highly positive for the long-term future of ACF, and we're grateful to all the loyal supporters, sponsors and exhibitors who have been with us for the past eight years; we look forward to continuing to work with them as well as MMI in future."

- The acquisition bolsters HMI Group's offering of complete one-stop healthcare services and capabilities to patients in Singapore and the region - The partnership strengthens HMI Group and EEC's market position in Southeast Asia, and positions HMI Group for continued growth, synergies, and expansion

Singapore, Jan 24, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Health Management International Pte Ltd (HMI Group), a growing regional private healthcare provider with presence in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, has acquired a majority stake in Eagle Eye Centre Pte Ltd (EEC), the largest private ophthalmology chain in Singapore. "With our investment, we will partner with EEC and work closely with the EEC doctors to grow the business locally and in the region," said Ms Chin Wei Jia, Group Chief Executive Officer of HMI Group. "This is a significant step in expanding HMI Group's portfolio into the specialist medical services as we strive to provide one-stop healthcare services both within and outside of hospitals." Founded in 2006, EEC started out as a one-stop specialist eye care facility, and was amongst the first to offer comprehensive ophthalmic care with services in all eye subspecialties under one roof. Today, EEC operates a chain of seven ophthalmology centres in Singapore together with 17 resident eye specialists. EEC offers a full suite of ophthalmic subspecialties including Cornea and Anterior Segment; Ocular Immunology and Uveitis; Cataract; Refractive Surgery; Glaucoma; Medical and surgical Retina; Neuro-Ophthalmology; Paediatrics and Strabismus; and Oculoplastic. Delivering convenience and value The EEC acquisition complements the Group's Singapore strategy, which focuses on providing quality and patient-centred healthcare services outside of hospitals that are convenient and delivers value. Furthermore, it will accelerate HMI Group's journey to capture the growing global trend of day surgery procedures, especially in developed markets, as medical skills and technology continue to advance. In Singapore, about 50% of surgical procedures can be performed in day surgery setting. "With HMI Group's expertise and reach in the region, we will continue to enhance access to high quality healthcare services for the people we serve. Through our investments in non-hospital settings, we are better prepared to deliver care in the future of health. HMI Group has a unique opportunity to use the momentum for change created by the COVID-19 crisis to accelerate the transformation of outpatient care," Ms Chin said. "We will also have the collective experience and extensive track record of Dr Julian Theng, Dr Lim Wee Kiak, and EEC's team of highly skilled sub-specialised ophthalmologists, to provide comprehensive optometric and ophthalmic care. We look forward to supporting EEC's growth ambitions and are excited to welcome the team into the HMI family." Expanding into specialist eye centres also enhances HMI Group's portfolio of primary care clinics and ambulatory care centres in Singapore. EEC recently built operating theatres and day procedure suites in King Albert Park and Royal Square Novena to perform common day surgery procedures such as Cataract and LASIK procedures outside of a hospital setting. The EEC acquisition is HMI Group's second in 2021. In September, HMI Group acquired a majority stake in OneCare Medical, a chain of 25 primary care clinics in Singapore. Through organic growth and the 2 new acquisitions, HMI Group's EBITDA has grown about 70% since HMI Group de-listed in December 2019 in a management buy-out together with EQT, a global investment firm, to now become one of the largest privately held healthcare providers in Southeast Asia. "Joining HMI Group presents a strategic opportunity for us to extend our ophthalmic services not just locally but regionally. We are thrilled to have found a purpose-driven, like-minded partner in HMI Group. With a common heart in a patient-centric approach to healthcare, while trusting us to continue leading in the ophthalmic medical management of EEC, our collective aim is to make a positive impact in our communities as we grow together," said Dr Julian Theng, Group Chairman and Medical Director of EEC.

London, UK, Jan 20, 2022 - (ACN Newswire) - Realbox is launching one of the world's first blockchain-based real estate tokenization platforms. Their technology gives retail investors the opportunity to share ownership in global real estate investments, without incurring expensive costs and going through complicated transactions.

Blockchain technology has taken the world by storm via the decentralized finance sector and also transformed the real estate sector and the way we invest in tangible assets. Through tokenization, the tangible asset can be divided into digital tokens that represents fractional ownership of the asset. These tokens would be traded securely on a blockchain ledger and are made accessible to worldwide investors. The smart contract in each token would ensure every owner receives their share of the asset's net rental income.

Realbox's blockchain-based real estate tokenization platform offers numerous advantages over traditional methods of dealing in real estate. These include increasing liquidity and transparency, enhancing security, and simplifying management. The project aims to create an ecosystem for real estate tokenization, bring together a solid combined experience in real estate development, fund management and blockchain technology. The project is the beginning of a new way to invest, own and connect to our existing and future tangible assets. Through the concept of asset tokenization, all types of investors will now be able to take part in the real estate market.

Democratizing access to real estate investment

2021 was the year Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) went mainstream. Artists, collectors and investors have found fertile ground in the blockchain space, where they can trade and speculate on the price of intangible assets. More importantly, do it seamlessly without auctioneers or any other middlemen. This is where Realbox's real estate solution comes in. With as little as $100, any user can simply purchase the fractionalized NFTs called REB NFT and be invested in the real estate market.

The vision for Realbox is to capture real estate capital growth, rental income and secure the same for other valuable assets that can be tokenized. This also includes the transaction fees and advertising traditionally associated with the management of these assets.

Globally experienced management team

The management team is combined by both traditional businesses as well as technology and blockchain development. Realbox's management team has held senior positions in multinational companies worldwide, such as CBRE, Colliers International, KPMG, etc… In addition, Realbox partners include some of the largest property developers, real estate agencies, and financial institutions in Southeast Asia, Australia, Dubai, Europe, and the USA.

A comprehensive ecosystem of services

The project is a tokenization platform that facilitates the conversion of real estate into non-fungible tokens (NFTs), before tokenizing them into security tokens which are backed by real physical assets. Realbox also provides diversified offers to investors including:

- A real estate metaverse where Realbox facilitates the creating, buying, and selling of virtual property along with a full suite of services that are provided by the Realbox ecosystem.

- A marketplace that facilitates the trading of asset-backed tokens (security tokens) including real estate and other real, physical assets. The exchange increases the tradability and liquidity of the security tokens.

- Asset Management services include property management, building operations and maintenance, facilities management, lease administration, property accounting and financial reporting, contract management and construction management.

Realbox Smart Invest is an automated, algorithm-driven platform enabled by AI to help investors select the best investment opportunities based on their risk and return profile.

Investment Management services include real estate analysis, asset selection, monitoring of existing investments, as well as portfolio strategy and implementation.

Governance and security tokens

Realbox offers two types of tokens: a utility token (REB token) and security tokens.

Governance token (REB) is the native utility token of the Realbox platform. REB is used to pay for service fees in the Realbox ecosystem including listing, subscription, transaction, borrowing fees and paying dividends. Holders can have unlimited upside potential due to high transaction fees from increasing assets under management over time. Furthermore, holders can receive a discount to purchase security tokens and earn profits from staking.

Security tokens represent a tokenized share of a property and entitles its holder to a share of profits in the property. The property could be an individual property or a portfolio of properties. The holders have the right to receive monthly rental income reports from underlying properties and a certificate of the trust agreement to represent the ownership of the security token.

The IDO is expected to be launched in Q1 2022

Since its launch in 2021, Realbox has been getting a lot of attention in the community. Eager investors will be able to purchase REB in Q1 2022. "Realbox is a pioneer in real estate tokenization through blockchain technology. We aim to become a global investment platform for real estate globally," said Dr. Alex Pham, Realbox Co-founder.
