HONG KONG, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TROOPS, Inc. (NASDAQ: TROO) (“TROOPS” or the “Company”) today announced that the Company has entered into a term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Young Platform S.p.A., a European digital asset technology provider, designed to accelerate the development and launch of the Company’s planned digital asset exchange infrastructure. The Term Sheet will become binding on November 1, 2026 and sets out principal terms and conditions upon which the parties shall execute a license agreement (the “License Agreement”).

Through the Term Sheet and the License Agreement, the Company intends to, in collaboration with EFFORCE Group, launch and operate a digital asset exchange based on Young Platform S.p.A’s proprietary digital asset exchange platform. The Company expects to obtain access to Young Platform S.p.A.’s exchange technology through the proposed License Agreement, including source code, matching engine technology, wallet management systems, administrative tools, technical documentation, and deployment support. The Company believes that access to these established technology assets will significantly shorten development timelines and provide a faster path to the launch of its planned exchange and broader digital asset infrastructure platform. In addition to the proposed technology license, TROOPS and Young Platform S.p.A. intend to actively collaborate on the configuration, integration, deployment, enhancement and future evolution of the platform.

This announcement follows TROOPS’ previously disclosed conditional sale and purchase agreement with EFFORCE Group, which is expected to expand the Company’s capabilities across digital assets, sustainability-focused initiatives, and technology-driven financial services.

“This agreement represents an important milestone in the execution of our digital asset strategy,” said Damian Thurnheer, President and Chief Executive Officer of TROOPS. “By combining access to proven exchange technology and source code with direct collaboration between our engineering teams, we expect to significantly accelerate the development of our exchange infrastructure while retaining the flexibility to customize and expand the platform over time.”

The initiative complements TROOPS’ recently announced strategic developments, including its proposed business combination with EFFORCE Group and the previously announced appointments of Jacopo Visetti and Sergio Carloni, further strengthening the Company’s technology, operational and industry expertise as it expands its presence in the digital asset sector and advances related digital asset licensing arrangements.

NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES and OTTAWA, ON, Oct. 30, 2026 /CNW/ — For many homeowners, custom window treatments promise a perfect fit but deliver uncertainty. TWOPAGES is closing that gap by connecting vertically integrated manufacturing with professional support throughout the buying journey. Through its Behind the Curtain documentary series, TWOPAGES offers a closer look at the craftsmanship behind its custom window treatments.

Craftsmanship Behind Every Order

From fabric development, dyeing, printing and embroidery to skilled manual cutting and sewing, shaping and quality inspection, TWOPAGES manages every major production stage with care and precision. Close attention to fabric behavior, measurements, seams and finishing helps ensure consistent quality, accurate dimensions, graceful drape and lasting performance. The brand offers 50+ collections and 1,000+ fabrics, with standard drapery production taking 3–7 days*.

Beyond craftsmanship, TWOPAGES pairs its manufacturing strength with three services supporting product selection, measurement, and installation.

Through its Design Consult Service, customers receive one-on-one guidance on fabrics, colors, hardware, and products based on their space, lifestyle, and budget. Zoom Measuring Consult provides real-time guidance; the first 20 minutes are complimentary. In eligible locations, the In-Home Measurement & Installation Service offers professional measurement or installation.

By linking front-end service with back-end production, TWOPAGES reduces uncertainty throughout the custom window treatment process.

Beyond the Window Treatments

For TWOPAGES, window treatments serve a purpose beyond decoration. They shape light, privacy, and comfort at home. Through thoughtful material selection, precise craftsmanship, and comprehensive support, the brand helps homeowners achieve these benefits more easily.

“We believe light shapes a space, and a space shapes how people feel. That is why every detail matters–from the way a fabric filters natural light to the precision of its construction and the support customers receive throughout the process,” said Ray Chen, Founder and CEO of TWOPAGES. “Our goal is not simply to make beautiful window treatments, but to help create homes where people can slow down, feel at ease, and be more present in everyday life.”

Since 2015, TWOPAGES has served over 600,000 households worldwide, a record of trust built on craftsmanship, service, and a belief that a home should give people space to slow down, reconnect, and simply be.

ESG reporting software has transformed how organizations collect, validate, and disclose environmental, social, and governance data by embedding capabilities such as AI-driven data extraction, automated emissions calculation, and disclosure templates aligned to major reporting frameworks into enterprise reporting programs. These innovations enable reporting teams to consolidate data from operational and financial systems, reduce manual effort, and maintain audit trails across disclosures. By integrating machine learning models, workflow automation, and framework mapping, ESG reporting platforms deliver continuous visibility into reporting readiness and performance against targets, ensuring greater data integrity and consistent disclosures. Enterprises benefit from improved reporting accuracy, lower compliance overhead, and more effective resource allocation, especially in regulated sectors such as banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) and manufacturing. Unifying environmental, social, and governance data across a single platform provides a clearer picture of organizational performance, strengthening decision-making and aligning sustainability strategy with broader financial and risk objectives. Such an approach empowers organizations to meet disclosure obligations, respond to investor and stakeholder expectations, and maintain credibility by ensuring every disclosure is supported by traceable data from collection through assurance.

Social ESG reporting software segment to register highest CAGR between 2026 and 2031

By software type, the social ESG reporting software segment is expected to be the fastest-growing in the ESG Reporting Software Market during the forecast period. As organizations face growing pressure to disclose workforce, health and safety, and value chain worker information with the same rigor applied to emissions data, the demand for social ESG reporting software is growing. The European Sustainability Reporting Standards include dedicated social standards covering an organization’s own workforce, workers in the value chain, affected communities, and consumers, which expands the volume of data reporting teams gather and substantiate. New vendors capture market share by offering workforce metrics collection, supplier questionnaires, and human capital dashboards, reducing manual effort in assembling social disclosures. An illustrative example is Nasdaq Metrio, a sustainability reporting platform with automated data collection workflows, survey workflows, guidance notes, and an audit trail across multiple frameworks, which supports the collection of environmental, social, and governance data in one environment. Another example is the May 2025 partnership between Broadridge and Novisto, which combines Novisto’s software for sustainability data collection, analysis, and reporting with Broadridge’s corporate issuer solutions to capture, audit, and report ESG data against voluntary frameworks and mandatory regulations. These moves show customers increasingly expect social data collection and disclosure to be native to the reporting platform rather than managed in separate spreadsheets. For emerging vendors, the opportunity is in providing lightweight survey and workforce data connectors, supplier data collection portals, and validation controls linked directly to disclosure workflows. Vendors delivering fast setup, strong HR system interoperability, and clear traceability from source data to published metrics win in social disclosure procurement.

The need to manage evolving climate-related reporting requirements and demonstrate measurable sustainability performance is accelerating adoption.
