supply chain finance financial

"expand into international commodity trading and supply chain finance"

Supply chain finance is a set of financing arrangements that let suppliers get paid earlier while the buyer pays later, using a bank or platform to bridge the timing gap. Think of it like a short-term, approved loan that speeds cash to suppliers based on the buyer’s credit rather than the supplier’s credit. Investors care because it affects companies’ cash flow, working capital needs, supplier stability and hidden credit exposure, all of which can influence profitability and risk.

pre-export financing financial

"which may include pre-export financing, inventory and warehouse receipt financing"

Short-term trade financing provided to an exporter to fund production, purchase of inputs, or other costs before goods are shipped overseas; lenders advance cash based on an export contract, confirmed purchase order, letter of credit, or other documentation that anticipates future export proceeds. The loan is typically secured by the export contract, inventory or receivables and is repaid out of the proceeds when the goods are shipped and payment is collected; it contrasts with post-shipment financing, which covers funding after goods have left the exporter’s control.

warehouse receipt financing financial

"inventory and warehouse receipt financing, receivables financing"

Financing backed by a warehouse receipt, where a lender advances money using a document that proves specific goods are stored in an approved warehouse as collateral. The warehouse receipt identifies the goods, their quantity and condition; the lender values that collateral (often at a discount) and holds a lien or control over the receipt until the loan is repaid or the receipt is surrendered when the goods are sold. Effectiveness depends on legal recognition of the receipt, the warehouse's reputation and controls, and the ability to verify and repossess the underlying goods if needed.

receivables financing financial

"warehouse receipt financing, receivables financing, and letter of credit facilitation"

A financing arrangement where a company uses its accounts receivable (unpaid customer invoices) to raise cash before customers pay. Common forms are factoring (selling invoices to a financier at a discount) and invoice discounting or asset-based lending (borrowing against invoices as collateral); the financier typically advances a portion of the invoice value up front and charges fees or interest, and the arrangement may be recourse (company remains liable if customers don’t pay) or non‑recourse (financier assumes the credit risk). Whether the transaction is recorded as a sale of assets or as a loan depends on the contract terms and accounting rules, which affects how the receivables and debt appear on the company’s balance sheet.

letter of credit financial

"receivables financing, and letter of credit facilitation and related arrangements"

A letter of credit is a bank’s written promise to pay a seller on behalf of a buyer once specified shipping or delivery documents are presented, acting like a guaranteed cashier’s check that only pays when the agreed conditions are met. Investors care because letters of credit reduce payment and counterparty risk, affect a company’s working capital and credit exposure, and can influence deal certainty in contracts, trade financing, and acquisitions.

Hong Kong, Oct. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Magic Empire Global Limited (NASDAQ: MEGL) ("MEGL" or the "Company") today announced a new strategic initiative to expand into international commodity trading and supply chain finance, building on its established financial services platform in Hong Kong. Going forward, the Company intends to develop its business around two core pillars: commodity trading, focusing on mineral and energy resources, and financial services, centered on supply chain finance.

The Company has established a wholly-owned subsidiary in Hong Kong, Lunar Haste International Trading Limited, through which it is developing an integrated business comprising two complementary segments:

Commodity Trading: cross-border trading of timber, mineral and coal products, initially focusing on hardwood logs and sawn timber, iron ore, thermal coal and metallurgical coal, supplied to buyers in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Supply Chain Finance: financing solutions for upstream suppliers and downstream buyers in the commodity sector, which may include pre-export financing, inventory and warehouse receipt financing, receivables financing, and letter of credit facilitation and related arrangements. Such financing solutions will be provided, where required, through licensed entities or in cooperation with licensed financial institutions, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

The Company has established a mature partnership network and supply chain resources across North America, Europe and Africa, including relationships with producers, mine operators, timber mills and end buyers. These resources are expected to provide the Company with stable access to supply and diversified sourcing channels from the outset of its trading operations.

The expansion is further anchored by the extensive industry experience of the Company's management team, which has more than 30 years of experience in commodity trading and has held key management roles at a number of multinational commodity, mineral and energy trading companies.

The Company believes that combining physical trading with supply chain finance creates a mutually reinforcing model. Trading activities provide direct visibility into cargo flows, counterparty performance and collateral quality, which supports disciplined credit decisions, while financing capabilities strengthen relationships with suppliers and buyers and enhance the Company's trading competitiveness.

"Our management team has spent more than 30 years building relationships across global commodity supply chains, and we have established a mature partnership network spanning North America, Europe and Africa," said Mei Wang, CFO of MEGL. "By pairing that industry expertise with MEGL's financial services capabilities, we can offer our partners both reliable trading channels and tailored financing. Commodity trading and supply chain finance will be the two pillars of MEGL's growth going forward."
The Company has completed its first commodity trading transaction through Lunar Haste International Trading Limited in the fourth quarter of 2026.
