(NASDAQ:KWM) (the "Company") today announced that it has changed its corporate name to Nexus Advanced Technologies Inc., reflecting the Company’s strategic transformation and expanded focus on artificial intelligence infrastructure and advanced technology opportunities.

In connection with the name change, the Company’s ordinary shares will begin trading on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the new ticker symbol "NXAT" and its Warrant symbol is changing from "KWMWW" to "NXATWW", effective at market open on September 9, 2026.
