Collaboration features high-speed SerDes, advanced packaging and SI/PI expertise

SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today at the TSMC 2026 North America Open Innovation Platform^® (OIP) Ecosystem Forum, Alchip Technologies presented a technical paper with Synopsys on how AI data center ASICs can overcome increasingly stringent bandwidth requirements as scale-up and out interfaces become critical to next‑generation system architectures. This approach brings together Synopsys 224G PHY IP with Alchip’s advanced packaging and signal integrity/power integrity (SI/PI) expertise in a protocol-agnostic physical design.

Breaking Through the Bandwidth Wall

As AI accelerators scale to meet growing performance demands, moving data on and off the chip fast enough becomes one of the hardest problems in the design. At 224 Gbps SerDes speeds, the presentation addressed several key physical design challenges:

• Die-edge congestion and escape routing complexity, along with signal and power integrity constraints across both die and package
• Limited die-edge real estate and asymmetric constraints between East/West (E/W) and North/South (N/S) edges
• Dense package substrate breakout requirements that must be met without degrading channel performance

The collaboration overcame these barriers through a coordinated optimization of escape routing, die-edge utilization, and package breakout — carefully balancing signal and power integrity requirements to maintain overall system performance. Differentiated handling of E/W and N/S die edges further ensured that maximum bandwidth per millimeter of die-edge beachfront was achieved at max reach, consistently across all die edges.

Building on this work, the analysis extended to E/W package breakout techniques needed to sustain 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps) of networking bandwidth, highlighting key routing density and SI/PI considerations at the substrate level. The resulting protocol-agnostic, forward-scalable physical design approach provides a foundation that can ultimately support 448G SerDes implementations.

Pushing Bandwidth Density to Its Physical Limits

Using this collaborative methodology, engineers achieved chip‑to‑chip interconnect bandwidth density approaching theoretical physical limits. This demonstrates the feasibility of ultra‑high‑density 224G scale‑up interconnect implementations within realistic die edge and package constraints.

These results point to broader implications for data center design, as AI accelerators and high‑performance networking ASICs continue to scale, maximizing bandwidth per millimeter directly impacts system throughput and scalability.

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.

“Healthcare does not begin and end with a doctor’s visit,” said Jerry Swon, Chief Executive Officer of Retrieve Medical. “Wearable technology is creating valuable health information every day. Bringing that information together with medical records can give individuals a much more complete picture of their health.”

A More Complete Health Picture

Traditional medical records capture critical information from physicians, hospitals, laboratories, imaging facilities, and other healthcare organizations. Wearable technology adds another dimension by capturing health and wellness information between those encounters.

Depending on the device and data authorized by the user, future Retrieve Passport connections may include:

• Activity and movement
• Heart rate and cardiovascular trends
• Sleep and recovery
• Exercise and fitness
• Wellness and biometric measurements

Users will remain in control of whether they connect a supported platform and what information they choose to make available.

“Medical records tell an important part of a person’s health story, but wearable technology can help fill in what happens between medical visits,” said Jerry Swon, CEO Retrieve Medical, “Our goal is to bring these different sources of information together in one secure, accessible place and make that information more useful to the individual.”

The wearable initiative is part of Retrieve Medical’s broader strategy to continue expanding Retrieve Passport into a comprehensive personal health information platform.

As integration progresses, Retrieve Medical expects to add support for additional wearable devices, health applications, and connected health platforms.

Health Information When It Matters

Retrieve Passport is designed to help individuals securely collect, organize, and access their health information wherever and whenever it is needed — at home, while traveling, during a new physician visit, or in an emergency.

The addition of wearable connectivity represents another significant step in Retrieve Medical’s mission to make personal health information more complete, portable, accessible, and useful.

Additional details regarding supported platforms and availability will be announced as the integration progresses.
