The Company has reached an agreement with Andrew Dvash to serve as Country Director and Co-founder representing YY Circle Australia.

"The decision to expand the Company's presence into Australia was a logical step in our business growth strategy, as we have already seen success in Malaysia and Vietnam," said Mike Fu, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of YY Group. "I am thrilled to partner with Andrew, as he brings over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry. Coupled with Australia's dynamic business environment, this presents a tremendous opportunity for YY Group to expand our staffing solutions into the Australian hospitality and hotel industry."

Australia is expected to provide YY Group with substantial revenue opportunities. It is the world's 13^th largest economy, with tourism comprising 14% of the country's overall business. Australia's hotel market is set to experience an upward trend, with projected revenue of US$6.9 billion by 2024 and market volume expected to increase to US$7.6 billion by 2028.

The Australian hospitality industry is well-positioned to capitalize on these trends with a strong foundation of domestic demand, a recovering international tourism sector, and significant investment activity. The Company anticipates that this substantial market will allow YY Group's momentum to continue as it works to make the YY Circle Super App the top-rated app in the labor sourcing industry.
