Chivas Regal 16 is Leclerc's debut whisky - a bold 16-year-old blend that brings his defining number to life. Co-created with Master Blender Sandy Hyslop, built on shared craft and belief in constantly challenging yourself.


LONDON, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Luxury Scotch whisky, Chivas Regal and Global Brand Ambassador Charles Leclerc today announced the launch of Chivas Regal 16 Limited-Edition -- the first 16-year-old expression in the brand's history and Leclerc's debut signature blend. It's a personal co-creation built on a shared mindset of constantly challenging yourself.

It began with Charles Leclerc challenging Chivas Regal's Master Blender Sandy Hyslop to create something new -- a bold new expression built entirely around his vision. The challenge was accepted. What followed was a genuine creative exchange of two masters pushing each other, move by move, toward something neither could have made alone. The blend brings together 16 exceptional whiskies, each aged at least 16 years inspired by the iconic number that has defined Leclerc's life and career.

Leclerc explored several whiskies during the creation process, gravitating towards the rich complexity of sherry cask matured Longmorn single malt. After travelling to Scotland to see the craft first-hand, he chose his preferred blend and set the final challenge: to craft it as a 16-year-old whisky.

"16 has always been more than a number to me - it's something I've carried my whole career." said Charles Leclerc, Global Brand Ambassador, Chivas Regal. "Going to Scotland, seeing the distilleries, understanding the obsession behind every cask inspired me to create my own blend. Chivas Regal and I share the same belief that the standard you set today is just the starting point. I pushed Sandy to go further. He pushed me to think differently. Chivas Regal 16 felt like the natural next step in our partnership, creating something truly extraordinary together."

Charles Leclerc's mindset of pushing boundaries and raising standards mirrors the Chivas Regal philosophy, where every bottle is crafted as an opportunity to go beyond what came before. 

"Charles didn't just put his name to this. He was in the room, making decisions, pushing back. He gravitated toward the character that defines Chivas Regal: rich, layered, built with real depth. What we've created together is a blend that's unmistakably his and unmistakably ours." said Sandy Hyslop, Master Blender, Chivas Regal.

On the nose, sweet mandarin, raisins and manuka honey give way to warm cinnamon and sticky toffee. The palate moves through orange marmalade and apple cake into toasted oak and ginger spice. The finish: rich, velvety and long.

The two masters united in Miami ahead of the Grand Prix to showcase Chivas Regal 16 for the first time in an exclusive intimate conversation revisiting the steps that made it. Celebrating the blend they built together, they reviewed the moves that challenged them, the decisions that defined it and how their shared philosophy shaped what's now in the bottle.

Raise a glass to the pursuit of better.
Chivas Regal 16-Year-Old will be available on Amazon with RRP of ?64/$69.99.

XecART and XecGuard of CyCraft (7823.TW) have both been selected. Their inclusion spans three critical domains: Agentic AI, LLM & GenAI Apps, and Agentic Red Teaming, showcasing CyCraft's technical leadership in the global AI security market.

Navigate Top 10 Risks of Agentic AI as Security Demand Surges

OWASP has long been dedicated to promoting global software security standards, with its "OWASP Top 10" regarded as a vital industry benchmark. As AI adoption accelerates, the AI security frameworks proposed by OWASP have become essential for global enterprises evaluating AI risks. The recently published OWASP 2026 Top 10 Risks for Agentic Applications points out that since the second half of 2025, the rapid rise of Agentic AI has introduced new threats beyond traditional LLM risks, such as "Agent Goal Hijack," "Tool Misuse and Exploitation," and "Rogue Agents."

As enterprises accelerate the deployment of Generative AI and AI Agents, risks such as model misuse, Prompt Injection, data leakage, and autonomous agent malfunctions are escalating rapidly. AI security has shifted from an optional add-on to a fundamental component of corporate infrastructure. Being included in the OWASP global landscape signifies that CyCraft's product capabilities have garnered significant attention and validation from the international community.

Operation: XecGuard provides continuous monitoring and analysis of dialogue content to detect whether AI Agents are being induced to execute Tool Calls that deviate from their assigned tasks or generate unsafe workflows. Furthermore, XecGuard offers both API and Gateway modes to meet diverse industry requirements for regulation, data sovereignty, and deployment, allowing for rapid integration with existing AI applications, agent architectures, and internal workflows.

Empower Developers: XecGuard Community Support Program

To further empower the AI developer community, CyCraft is now launching the XecGuard Community Support Program (CSP). Eligible open-source project maintainers and contributors can receive a free three-month subscription to XecGuard Lite upon successful application, with no fees required during the program period.

【How to Apply】Please fill out the form at the application website: https://go.cycraft.ai/xecguard-csp

Benson Wu, CEO and Co-founder of CyCraft, stated: "Our inclusion in the OWASP landscape confirms that CyCraft's innovative energy aligns with the global needs of AI development. We have fully integrated Red Team validation and Blue Team governance into enterprise DevOps and SecOps workflows, providing world-class solutions for emerging risks in LLMs and Agentic AI. Security should not be a barrier to AI innovation, but rather the engine that accelerates it. We sincerely invite global AI pioneers to join hands with CyCraft, ensuring every step of your AI roadmap can move forward with confidence and speed."

Market expectations suggest that AI security will become one of the fastest-growing sectors in corporate cybersecurity spending.

First-of-its-Kind Industry Analysis from the Trusted Partner Network Reveals Concerning Trends Across Global Entertainment Supply Chain

LOS ANGELES, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Trusted Partner Network (TPN), the global content security initiative powered by the Motion Picture Association (MPA), today released the TPN STAR Report, the first industry study to analyze large-scale security assessment data and track how cyber risks are evolving across the global content supply chain.

The TPN STAR Report data shows that while most organizations have foundational policies in place, inconsistent day-to-day execution of technical controls is creating systemic and exploitable risk. By analyzing validated TPN security assessments alongside incident-driven Security Alerts, the report shows a clear pattern of control failures that closely match real-world attacks.

"Content security today is inseparable from overall cybersecurity," said Karyn Temple, Senior Executive Vice President and Global General Counsel for the MPA. "Protecting intellectual property at scale requires the same rigor, operational discipline, and vigilance demanded in other critical, high-risk sectors."

According to the report, in the first quarter of 2026, TPN issued more Security Alerts than in all of 2025, reflecting a sharp increase in credential-based attacks, misconfigurations, and exploitation of un-remediated vulnerabilities. While TPN provides the platform and standards for assessing security, fixing any issues is the responsibility of the organizations being assessed.

Recent security alerts consistently pointed to the same underlying technical weaknesses, including:
* Compromised credentials
* Inconsistent multi-factor authentication (MFA)
* Insecure system and cloud configurations
* Delays in patching and vulnerability remediation

TPN STAR Report data reinforces this pattern with vulnerability management, cryptography, endpoint hardening, and access management emerging as the weakest-performing controls areas showing:
   * The highest rates of non-compliance
   * Frequent remediation refusals or deferrals
   * The slowest remediation timelines

"The TPN STAR Report highlights a persistent disconnect between perceived security and actual operational performance," said Terri Davies, President of TPN. "Organizations routinely overestimate that their controls are effective, especially those that require continuous attention, technical rigor, and operational ownership. Recent technological advances only heighten the urgency to address these gaps before they are exploited."

Capabilities such as Zero Trust architectures, conditional access, continuous authentication, and automated compliance monitoring are not yet widely used across the entertainment ecosystem. In highly distributed production environments spanning cloud platforms, remote workforces, and a complex ecosystem of third-party vendors, these gaps can greatly increase the impact of a single compromised credential.

In response to these findings, the report underscores the need for urgent industry action to ensure continuous monitoring of systems and access, faster remediation of known vulnerabilities, stronger ownership of operational controls, and consistent enforcement of identity and access protections, particularly across third-party environments.

The TPN Star Report establishes a critical baseline for measuring control performance and tracking industry progress toward more resilient, operationally effective content security.***

Di Spanish Congress of Deputies (Kongres Deputi Spanyol), Presiden EAACI Mar?a Jose Torres mendukung manifesto bersama dengan AEPNAA, SEAIC, dan SEICAP, yang menyerukan tindakan mendesak terkait protokol sekolah, pelatihan staf, dan akses terhadap adrenalin penyelamat nyawa

ZURICH, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Anak-anak yang berisiko mengalami anafilaksis masih belum terlindungi secara konsisten di sekolah, meskipun sudah tersedia panduan medis yang jelas.

Peringatan tersebut disampaikan di Spanish Congress of Deputies selama acara "Setiap menit sangat berharga: mendorong sekolah yang aman dari anafilaksis", di mana Spanish Association of People with Food and Latex Allergies (Asosiasi Penderita Alergi Makanan dan Lateks Spanyol, AEPNAA), Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology (Perhimpunan Alergologi dan Imunologi Klinis Spanyol, SEAIC), Spanish Society of Pediatric Clinical Immunology, Allergology and Asthma (Perhimpunan Imunologi Klinis, Alergologi dan Asma Anak Spanyol, SEICAP), serta European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (Akademi Alergi dan Imunologi Klinis Eropa, EAACI) mendukung manifesto bersama yang menyerukan perlindungan yang lebih kuat di lingkungan sekolah.

Mewakili EAACI, Presiden Mar?a Jose Torres menyatakan bahwa penanganan anafilaksis masih belum merata, sehingga keselamatan anak-anak kerap bergantung pada situasi--apakah staf mampu mengenali gejala, apakah obatnya tersedia, dan apakah protokol sudah diterapkan.

Anafilaksis adalah reaksi alergi berat dan berkembang sangat cepat, yang berpotensi mengancam jiwa dalam hitungan menit. Bagi banyak keluarga, risiko ini merupakan bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari--terutama selama jam sekolah, saat anak-anak tidak berada dalam pengawasan langsung orang tua atau pengasuh mereka.

Manifesto tersebut menetapkan langkah-langkah praktis untuk menutup kesenjangan ini: protokol standar untuk sekolah, pelatihan wajib bagi staf, auto-injektor adrenalin yang mudah diakses, rencana perawatan yang disesuaikan secara individual, serta koordinasi yang lebih kuat antara sistem kesehatan dan pendidikan.

"Bagi banyak anak, anafilaksis bukan hanya risiko yang bersifat hipotetis--melainkan bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari," ujar Mar?a Jose Torres, Presiden EAACI. "Saat terjadi reaksi berat, penanganan harus segera dilakukan. Tidak boleh ada penundaan atau keraguan sedikit pun tentang siapa yang harus bertindak."

Beliau menambahkan bahwa tingkat perlindungan antar sekolah yang tidak merata tidak dapat dibenarkan. "Anak--nak seharusnya tidak lebih aman di satu sekolah dibandingkan di sekolah lainnya. Kita butuh protokol yang jelas, staf yang terlatih, serta akses langsung ke penanganan darurat--sebelum waktu terbuang."
  
Acara tersebut mempertemukan organisasi pasien, perhimpunan ilmiah, tenaga kesehatan profesional, keluarga, dan lembaga publik, menyoroti ketidakpastian yang dihadapi keluarga setiap hari karena mereka tidak dapat memastikan bahwa sekolah siap menangani keadaan darurat.

Bagi EAACI, buktinya sudah jelas. Prioritasnya sekarang adalah implementasi--memastikan bahwa anak-anak yang berisiko benar-benar terlindungi di lapangan, bukan sekadar wacana.

Dengan mendukung inisiatif ini, EAACI menegaskan kembali komitmennya untuk mendorong langkah-langkah berbasis bukti guna meningkatkan keselamatan pasien serta melindungi anak-anak dan keluarga di tempat yang paling membutuhkan perlindungan.***

Oleh
Siti Amie, S.Pd

Anak seharusnya tumbuh dalam ruang yang aman, penuh kasih, dan terlindungi dari segala bentuk kekerasan. Namun harapan itu kembali runtuh ketika publik dikejutkan oleh kasus dugaan penganiayaan anak di sebuah daycare di Yogyakarta. Puluhan balita, yang semestinya mendapatkan pengasuhan dan perhatian, justru diduga menjadi korban perlakuan tidak manusiawi di tempat yang dipercaya orang tua sebagai ruang aman bagi buah hati mereka.

Kasus ini bukan sekadar insiden tunggal. Temuan bahwa jumlah korban mencapai puluhan anak, dengan dugaan praktik kekerasan yang dilakukan secara berulang, menunjukkan adanya masalah yang lebih dalam. Lebih memprihatinkan lagi, sebagian korban masih berusia sangat dini, usia yang belum mampu mengungkapkan apa yang mereka alami. Fakta ini menegaskan bahwa kekerasan terjadi pada kelompok paling rentan, di lingkungan yang seharusnya menjadi tempat perlindungan.

Ironisnya, peristiwa serupa bukan pertama kali terjadi. Publik Riau tentu masih mengingat kasus di Pekanbaru beberapa waktu lalu, ketika seorang anak di sebuah daycare menjadi korban kekerasan oleh pengasuhnya. Dalam kasus tersebut, anak bahkan diperlakukan secara tidak layak, diikat dan dibungkam, hingga memicu kemarahan masyarakat setelah rekamannya tersebar luas. Fakta bahwa kasus seperti ini muncul di berbagai daerah menunjukkan bahwa persoalan ini bukanlah kasus lokal, melainkan fenomena yang berulang.

Rentetan peristiwa ini menyisakan pertanyaan besar. Bagaimana mungkin tempat yang dititipkan kepercayaan oleh orang tua justru berubah menjadi ruang yang membahayakan anak. Mengapa kekerasan terhadap anak di daycare terus terjadi, seolah tanpa ada pelajaran berarti dari kasus sebelumnya. Jika tidak segera diatasi secara serius, bukan tidak mungkin kasus serupa akan kembali terulang dengan korban yang terus bertambah.

Di titik inilah, persoalan kekerasan anak di daycare tidak lagi bisa dipandang sebagai kelalaian individu semata. Ia perlu dilihat sebagai bagian dari masalah yang lebih luas, tentang lemahnya sistem perlindungan anak, minimnya pengawasan, serta arah pengasuhan yang semakin bergeser dalam kehidupan modern.

Dalam sistem kehidupan yang bertumpu pada kapitalisme, manusia dipandang sebagai aset ekonomi. Nilai seseorang diukur dari produktivitas dan kontribusinya terhadap perputaran materi. Dalam kerangka ini, perempuan turut didorong untuk masuk ke dunia kerja dengan dalih pemberdayaan. Perempuan diposisikan sebagai tenaga produktif yang memiliki nilai ekonomi, sehingga semakin banyak perempuan direkrut untuk bekerja di berbagai sektor.

Namun di balik narasi pemberdayaan tersebut, terdapat persoalan mendasar yang sering diabaikan, yakni pengasuhan anak. Ketika ibu harus bekerja di luar rumah, muncul kebutuhan akan pihak lain yang menggantikan perannya dalam merawat anak. Di sinilah daycare hadir sebagai solusi praktis yang ditawarkan oleh sistem.

Dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan ini, daycare berkembang menjadi ladang bisnis yang menjanjikan. Ia tidak lagi sekadar tempat penitipan, tetapi berubah menjadi industri jasa yang menawarkan berbagai program unggulan. Mulai dari pengenalan bahasa asing hingga stimulasi kecerdasan sejak dini. Daycare dipasarkan secara menarik, ditempatkan di lokasi strategis, dan menyasar keluarga muda yang membutuhkan layanan tersebut.

Namun satu hal yang tidak boleh diabaikan, sebagai bagian dari sistem kapitalisme, orientasi utama daycare tetaplah pada keuntungan. Laba menjadi tujuan yang tidak terpisahkan dari operasionalnya. Dalam kondisi seperti ini, kualitas pengasuhan berpotensi dikompromikan, terlebih jika pengawasan lemah dan standar tidak ditegakkan secara serius.

Lebih dari itu, daycare pada hakikatnya tidak dapat menggantikan peran ibu. Pengasuhan bukan sekadar aktivitas menjaga, tetapi proses membangun kedekatan emosional yang mendalam. Anak membutuhkan kasih sayang yang tulus dan konsisten, sesuatu yang secara fitrah dimiliki oleh seorang ibu. Dalam ruang daycare yang harus menangani banyak anak sekaligus, kebutuhan individual ini sulit terpenuhi secara optimal.

Kasih sayang memiliki peran penting dalam perkembangan anak. Ia bukan hanya kebutuhan emosional, tetapi juga berpengaruh terhadap perkembangan otak dan kepribadian. Anak yang tumbuh dengan kasih sayang yang cukup akan memiliki rasa percaya diri, kemampuan berempati, dan kestabilan emosi. Sebaliknya, kekurangan kasih sayang dapat menumbuhkan perasaan tidak aman, rendah diri, dan kesulitan dalam membangun relasi sosial.

Di sinilah pentingnya mengembalikan cara pandang terhadap anak. Selama ini, tidak sedikit orang tua yang memandang anak sebagai aset masa depan. Anak didorong untuk berprestasi dan sukses secara materi agar kelak dapat menjadi penopang kehidupan orang tua. Cara pandang ini secara tidak langsung membentuk orientasi pendidikan dan pengasuhan yang berfokus pada capaian duniawi semata.

Akibatnya, anak didorong masuk ke berbagai sistem pendidikan sejak usia sangat dini, termasuk daycare, dengan harapan mendapatkan keunggulan kompetitif. Untuk memenuhi kebutuhan tersebut, orang tua, khususnya ibu, merasa perlu bekerja agar mampu membiayai pendidikan yang dianggap terbaik. Dalam proses ini, pengasuhan justru terdelegasikan kepada pihak lain.

Padahal dalam Islam, anak adalah amanah dari Allah yang kelak akan dimintai pertanggungjawaban. Ia bukan sekadar aset duniawi, melainkan ladang amal bagi orang tua. Dengan kesadaran ini, pengasuhan anak menjadi prioritas utama yang tidak bisa digantikan begitu saja.

Islam menempatkan ibu sebagai pendidik pertama dan utama bagi anak. Dari tangan ibulah nilai-nilai dasar kehidupan ditanamkan. Kasih sayang, kejujuran, empati, dan ketakwaan tumbuh dari interaksi yang intens antara ibu dan anak. Peran ini tidak dapat dijalankan secara optimal jika waktu dan perhatian ibu terpecah oleh tuntutan lain.

Untuk itu, Islam juga menetapkan sistem yang mendukung terlaksananya fungsi keibuan. Nafkah menjadi tanggung jawab ayah dan keluarga, bahkan negara memiliki kewajiban untuk menjamin kesejahteraan perempuan dalam kondisi tertentu. Dengan jaminan ini, ibu dapat fokus menjalankan perannya tanpa harus terbebani oleh tekanan ekonomi.

Ketika fungsi keibuan berjalan optimal, anak akan tumbuh dalam lingkungan yang aman dan penuh kasih. Ia tidak hanya berkembang secara fisik dan intelektual, tetapi juga memiliki fondasi moral dan spiritual yang kuat. Inilah yang menjadi benteng utama dalam mencegah berbagai bentuk penyimpangan, termasuk kekerasan dalam pengasuhan.

Kasus kekerasan di daycare seharusnya menjadi peringatan bagi kita semua. Ia bukan sekadar tragedi yang berlalu, tetapi cermin dari persoalan yang lebih dalam. Sudah saatnya kita tidak hanya bereaksi, tetapi juga melakukan refleksi. Apakah sistem yang ada saat ini benar-benar mendukung tumbuh kembang anak secara utuh. Ataukah justru menjauhkan anak dari hakikat pengasuhan yang sesungguhnya.

Pada akhirnya, yang akan dimintai pertanggungjawaban bukanlah daycare, melainkan orang tua. Oleh karena itu, sudah saatnya peran sebagai pendidik utama dikembalikan kepada ibu, dengan dukungan sistem yang benar. Tanpa itu, harapan menghadirkan generasi yang kuat dan berintegritas akan terus menghadapi tantangan yang sama, bahkan mungkin lebih berat di masa yang akan datang.

Seiring kesadaran ini, sudah saatnya pula kita mengevaluasi sistem yang ada. Akankah peran dan tanggung jawab ibu mampu tertunaikan dengan sempurna dalam sistem kapitalisme saat ini? Tidakkah terbuka mata kita mana sistem yang lebih baik dan layak untuk kita perjuangkan bersama?

One of Euro''s largest cooperative banking institutions to standardise lending operations on the nCino Platform

LONDON, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- nCino, Inc. (NASDAQ: NCNO), the platform for agentic banking, today announced that Raiffeisenbankengruppe Oesterreich has selected nCino as its unified corporate lending platform. The group is a landmark institution for nCino in the DACH region and a key example of the cooperative banking model nCino employs for thousands of US credit unions in Europe.

Raiffeisenbankengruppe Oesterreich is one of Europe's largest and most complex examples of this cooperative business model, with 8 regional Raiffeisenlandesbanken serving as central financing institutions for approximately 270 local Raiffeisenbanken across the country. This tiered, member-owned banking system has served Austrian communities at scale for more than a century.

A cornerstone institution with this much scale and complexity requires a platform that can keep pace as its community's needs evolve. Raiffeisenbankengruppe Oesterreich selected nCino as the foundation for that evolution, and the nCino Platform will support the complete corporate lending lifecycle from initial application through final disbursement, spanning products including current account credit, term loans and limits for contingent business.

"Raiffeisenbankengruppe Oesterreich is aware of its responsibility towards society and provides strong momentum for the promotion of the regional economy. Raiffeisen focuses on long-term customer relationships, which are always built on trust ? trust between our eight Raiffeisenlandesbanken, our local Raiffeisenbanken and the communities they serve," said Reinhard Schwendtbauer, Chairman of the Raiffeisen Kooperationsgenossenschaft --a nationwide association that was built to enhance the cooperation and strategic development among all Austrian Raiffeisen institutions. "nCino gives us the modern foundation to honor the trust of our customers and our responsibility towards them -- with a platform designed specifically for how we work."

nCino brings to this partnership a depth of experience that few technology providers can match in the European cooperative banking space. The Company works with thousands of credit unions across the United States -- institutions that, like Raiffeisenbankengruppe Oesterreich, are built on a member-owned model and a commitment to community. That institutional knowledge translates directly into how nCino approaches complex, tiered networks like Raiffeisen's.

"That institutional knowledge is already opening doors across Europe. In the DACH region, Raiffeisenbankengruppe Oesterreich is a powerful example of what's possible when a traditional cooperative banking institution decides to modernise at scale," added Joaquin de Valenzuela, Managing Director of EMEA at nCino. "They bring a century of community banking expertise to this partnership and nCino brings the platform and the cooperative banking experience to help them take it further. We look forward to working alongside their team to bring a new standard of efficiency and innovation to corporate lending across Austria." ***

A Global Fusion of Sonic Artistry, Advocacy, and Concrete Action to Combat Child Trafficking

LOS ANGELES, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A&A Sports Group LLC is proud to announce a landmark moment in the career of Jay Mondo, the music industry's most compelling rising star, with the unveiling of a visionary summer music campaign. This multi-phase creative rollout begins with the highly anticipated release of Jay Mondo's brand-new single, serving as the definitive prelude to an exclusive summer mini-album. This project is meticulously designed to redefine the intersection of contemporary entertainment and social responsibility, blending Mondo's signature high-quality production with a raw, rhythmic passion that invites listeners into a personal journey of resilience. By using his music as a mirror for those striving to rise above their own circumstances, Mondo is establishing himself as a definitive voice for a generation that demands both artistic excellence and purposeful action from its icons.

The upcoming album is more than a mere collection of tracks; it is a sonic manifesto that weaves together themes of personal empowerment and global awareness. A&A Sports Group LLC is committed to ensuring this launch is a momentous global occasion, backed by an innovative marketing infrastructure and world-class promotional efforts designed to project Mondo's message across international borders. As fans eagerly await the summer release, the agency is preparing a series of high-impact activations that will elevate the artist's storytelling, ensuring that his unique blend of melody and message reaches a diverse, global audience ready for a new kind of musical hero.

The urgency of Jay Mondo's mission is underscored by staggering global data regarding the safety of our youth. As of early 2026, international reports indicate that nearly one in four detected victims of human trafficking globally is a child. In the United States alone, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has highlighted that one in seven children reported missing is likely a victim of sex trafficking. With the rise of digital grooming and complex online recruitment tactics, the need for private-sector intervention has never been more critical. Jay Mondo is determined to use his platform to combat these systemic threats, transforming his professional success into a shield for the most vulnerable members of society.

At the heart of this campaign is a deep-seated dedication to humanitarian progress through a direct-action philanthropy model. In a landmark move for the industry, Jay Mondo and A&A Sports Group LLC have pledged that $1 from every album sale will be donated directly to child trafficking prevention programs. This initiative is designed to move beyond traditional awareness, providing tangible resources for education, victim recovery, and empowerment. By aligning his creative output with the safety of children, Mondo is setting a new standard for what it means to be an "impact artist," ensuring that his commercial success fuels a much larger mission of justice and protection.
Jay Mondo's specific strategy for protecting children focuses on three critical pillars of intervention: digital safety education, community training, and survivor recovery. Funds from the album will support school-based programs that teach youth how to recognize recruitment tactics on social media and encrypted apps, where traffickers increasingly operate. Additionally, the campaign will fund workshops for frontline civilians, such as educators and hospitality staff, to identify the subtle signs of exploitation. Finally, a significant portion of the proceeds will be directed toward recovery services that provide financial literacy and job placement for survivors, ensuring they have the stability required to break the cycle of abuse permanently.

Jay Mondo's personal philosophy is anchored in the belief that individual success is hollow if it does not pave the way for others to succeed. In his own words, his goal is "helping many people live out their dreams through mine," a mantra that serves as the heartbeat of the entire summer campaign. This perspective reflects a deep empathy for the human condition, encouraging listeners to turn their personal obstacles into stepping stones toward their own aspirations. His music acts as a testament to the idea that one person's rise can lift an entire community, turning the act of listening into an act of collective empowerment and hope.

To bring this vision to life, Jay Mondo will embark on a series of live performances in key metropolitan hubs, designed to be immersive experiences rather than standard concerts. These events will offer fans a unique opportunity to connect with the artist's mission firsthand while witnessing the undeniable energy of his live set. A&A Sports Group LLC is currently finalizing dates and locations for this tour, promising unforgettable opportunities for engagement and community building. This summer series will serve as the physical manifestation of Mondo's message, proving that the power of music can create waves of change that extend far beyond the stage and into the heart of the community.

A&A Sports Group LLC's approach to this rollout leverages world-class marketing strategies that align Jay Mondo's artistry with actionable global change. The synergy between Jay Mondo's inspiring vision and the agency's innovative execution ensures that this project transcends the standard music release cycle to become a true movement. By pairing world-class talent with a robust social mission, they are proving that entertainment can be both a commercial powerhouse and a catalyst for profound global good. Fans are invited to be part of this mission today by pre-ordering the new single and visiting the official website for more information on performances and ways to support child trafficking prevention programs.

* In SYNCHRONIZE-1, participants lost up to an average of 39.2 lb (17.8 kg) from baseline after 76 weeks of treatment with survodutide, a glucagon/GLP-1 receptor dual agonist1
* The trial met both weight loss primary endpoints and its key secondary endpoint evaluating waist circumference, a predictor of cardiometabolic risk, together demonstrating survodutide's potential to broadly improve metabolic health1
* In addition to these positive results, Boehringer is advancing its broad metabolic health R&D program, exploring multiple pharmaceutical approaches to weight management including oral treatments

Ingelheim, Germany. Boehringer Ingelheim today announced positive topline results from the Phase III SYNCHRONIZE-1 trial, in which survodutide (BI 456906) met the co-primary endpoints using both the efficacy and treatment-regimen estimands.*? Adults living with obesity or overweight, without type 2 diabetes, who were treated with survodutide experienced sustained weight loss of up to an average of 16.6% after 76 weeks using the efficacy estimand, a statistically significant decrease versus 3.2% in the placebo arm (p<0.0001).1 This level of weight loss supports survodutide's potential as a clinically meaningful treatment option for people living with obesity or overweight.1 Full data from the Phase III trial will be presented at the upcoming American Diabetes Association's (ADA) 2026 Scientific Sessions in June. 

The trial met its other co-primary endpoint, with up to 85.1% of adults treated with survodutide achieving a body weight reduction of ≥5% after 76 weeks of treatment, using the efficacy estimand, versus 38.8% in the placebo arm (p<0.0001). Initial analysis indicates that body weight reduction with survodutide was driven predominantly by loss of fat tissue, with lean mass contributing only a small proportion of total weight.1 

In a key secondary endpoint, adults treated with survodutide experienced a statistically significant reduction in waist circumference -- a clinical marker closely linked to visceral fat and cardiometabolic risk2 -- after 76 weeks versus placebo.1 Excess visceral fat, particularly around the abdomen, is a known contributor to metabolic dysfunction and is closely connected to impaired liver function.3 As a dual glucagon/GLP-1 receptor agonist,4 survodutide has the potential to address obesity while also supporting liver function, a key regulator of metabolic health.1 

"I am encouraged by the data emerging from SYNCHRONIZE-1, which continue to demonstrate survodutide's potential as a clinically meaningful treatment option for people with the disease of obesity," said Professor Carel le Roux, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at University College in Dublin, Ireland, and Global Coordinating Investigator of the trial. "There is an urgent need for new therapies that go beyond weight reduction alone to support meaningful improvements in metabolic health. Survodutide's dual agonism is particularly exciting, as it offers a promising approach to addressing this significant unmet need in care." 

Obesity is a chronic, complex metabolic disease that impacts more than 1 in 8 people worldwide in many different ways, and can have serious long-term consequences.5,6 It is closely linked to serious conditions including liver disease, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.7,8 Notably, up to 1 in 3 people living with obesity develop a serious liver condition called metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), characterized by inflammation and liver damage.9

"Today's SYNCHRONIZE-1 topline results strengthen our confidence in survodutide as a treatment candidate capable of addressing obesity and potentially offering targeted weight loss to help address connected conditions including liver disease," said Shashank Deshpande, Chairman of the Board of Managing Directors and Head of Human Pharma, Boehringer Ingelheim. "Survodutide has the potential to be the first global glucagon/GLP-1 dual agonist to help the more than 1 billion people living with obesity and MASH." 
 

Survodutide's GLP-1 agonism decreases appetite while increasing fullness and satiety,10 while its glucagon agonism is thought to directly act on the liver to reduce hepatic fat, regulate metabolic function, resolve inflammation, and improve fibrosis.11,12,13

As expected with GLP-1 based therapies, participants in the trial experienced gastrointestinal events, with discontinuations happening more frequently during the dose escalation phase.1 These events were both mild to moderate in severity and temporary, with no new safety concerns observed outside of what is expected for the GLP-1 class.

Survodutide is an investigational agent and has not been approved for use; its efficacy and safety has not been established. SYNCHRONIZE-1 is part of a comprehensive global Phase III obesity program, evaluating survodutide in people living with overweight and obesity, among key sub-populations.14 Additional trial results are expected to read out during 2026. Survodutide is also being studied in two global Phase III clinical trials LIVERAGE and LIVERAGE-Cirrhosis investigating the efficacy and safety of survodutide in adults with MASH and fibrosis stages 2 or 3 and in those with compensated MASH cirrhosis (fibrosis stage 4).15,16

Survodutide is the first in a broader portfolio of therapies being developed for people living with obesity or obesity and connected metabolic health conditions, with multiple approaches under investigation. This includes an investigational, potential first-in-class triple GLP-1, GIP, NPY2 receptor agonist peptide (BI 3034701), which will be entering Phase II in the middle of 2026, as well as additional experimental approaches including oral treatment options.***
