DÜSSELDORF, Germany, September 23, 2026 /3BL/ – On the occasion of its 150th anniversary, Henkel is taking its long-standing commitment to science education to the next level. By the end of 2030, the company plans to establish five new permanent learning labs as part of its “Researchers’ World” initiative (in German: Forscherwelt): a new STEM center at Henkel’s headquarters in Düsseldorf and four additional Researchers’ World labs around the world. In addition, mobile concepts will bring hands-on science education to children in six additional countries. Henkel will invest a double-digit million-euro amount in the expansion of Researchers’ World by 2030.

“Curiosity and a spirit of discovery are essential drivers of learning and innovation. Through our Researchers’ World initiative, we encourage children to ask questions, explore new ideas and develop their own solutions. By expanding the initiative internationally, we want to make high-quality STEM education accessible to as many young people as possible, regardless of their socioeconomic background,” says Dr. Simone Bagel-Trah, patron of Henkel’s Researchers’ World and Chairwoman of Henkel’s Supervisory Board and Shareholders’ Committee.

“As Henkel celebrates its 150th anniversary, we are expanding our Researchers’ World initiative to enable even more children to experience science, technology and innovation first-hand. We also want to reach young people who have had limited access to these opportunities so far. This project reflects our long-term commitment to social responsibility as a company, both as part of our anniversary year and beyond. We believe that education is an investment in the future of society, which is why we are committed to making a lasting contribution in this area,” says Carsten Knobel, CEO of Henkel.

A global platform for curiosity, skills and equal opportunity

Founded in Düsseldorf in 2011, Researchers’ World has developed into a global education initiative that promotes early STEM education in more than 20 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, North America and South America. Through hands-on experiments and age-appropriate learning formats, children explore scientific concepts and discover the world of science through inquiry, experimentation and problem-solving. Since its launch, more than 130,000 children worldwide have participated in the program. As part of its expansion plans, Henkel aims to extend Researchers’ World to more than 30 countries by 2030.

Henkel will build a new STEM center at its headquarters in Düsseldorf. It will expand the existing concept and location with extracurricular formats, a wider target group, and dedicated access for external visitors. The center is expected to accommodate more than 10,000 children and young people annually. As one of the five new permanent locations, the Düsseldorf center will form part of a wider global network.

“By expanding our global network, we aim to further reduce financial and organizational barriers to STEM education and create accessible learning opportunities for children from different socioeconomic backgrounds and educational pathways,” explains Dr. Ute Krupp, who is responsible for the Researchers’ World initiative at Henkel. “Our learning programs support scientific literacy, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity – skills that help young people understand and shape a changing world.”

Clarification intended to provide investors and market participants with accurate, up-to-date information based on the Company’s official filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

MACAU, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Zenta Group Company Limited (“Zenta Group” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ZTG) today issued a clarification regarding the number of its ordinary shares issued and outstanding, following the share issuance completed in connection with the closing of the Company’s acquisition of ZentoAI Intelligent Technology Company Limited (“ZentoAI”) on September 11, 2026.

The Company is providing this clarification because it has become aware that certain third-party market-data and trading platforms continue to display an older share count that does not reflect that issuance.

Current Shares Outstanding

As reported in the Company’s Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 16, 2026, as of the closing of the ZentoAI acquisition the Company had 24,087,179 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, consisting of:

  • 17,719,499 Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, each carrying one vote; and
  • 6,367,680 Class B ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, each carrying fifty votes.

The Company’s Class A ordinary shares are the only class of the Company’s shares listed and traded, and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ZTG.” The Class B ordinary shares are not listed and are convertible, at the option of the holder, into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.

Recent Share Issuance

On September 11, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ZentoAI. As part of the consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 12,278,340 Class A ordinary shares to the selling shareholders. That issuance is reflected in the share counts set out above.

Clarification Regarding Third-Party Market Data

The Company has become aware that certain third-party financial-data and trading platforms continue to display a share count for the Company of approximately 11.8 million shares outstanding. That figure corresponds to the total number of the Company’s ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the September 11, 2026 issuance described above, and therefore does not reflect that issuance or the Company’s current capital structure.

Third-party platforms obtain, compile, and update share data on their own schedules and according to their own methodologies, and the timing of such updates is outside the Company’s control. The Company is not aware of any basis to suggest that any platform, data provider, broker, or exchange has acted improperly, and this announcement should not be read as any allegation against any of them.

The Company’s SEC filings should be treated as the authoritative source for the Company’s reported share count. Where information displayed on any third-party platform differs from the Company’s SEC filings, investors and market participants should rely on the Company’s SEC filings. Those filings are available free of charge at www.sec.gov and through the Company’s investor relations website at https://ir.zenta.mo. The Form 6-K furnished on September 16, 2026 is available at https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2011458/000149315226042820/form6-k.htm.

The Company is taking steps to communicate its updated share information to relevant market-data providers, with the aim of improving consistency and transparency of the information available to investors. The timing and manner in which any provider updates the information it displays remain outside the Company’s control.

A Note on Terminology

The figures set out in this announcement refer to the Company’s ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of the closing of the ZentoAI acquisition on September 11, 2026, comprising both Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Shares outstanding is a distinct measure from public float, which refers to shares held by non-affiliates, and from fully diluted shares, which reflects the effect of securities convertible into or exercisable for ordinary shares. This announcement does not state a public float figure or a fully diluted share count, and the figures above should not be used as, or in place of, either measure.
