Published

on

The milestone marks the completion of BitDelta’s regulatory journey with the UAE Capital Market Authority and the launch of a fully operational office in Business Bay, Dubai — reinforcing the firm’s commitment to regulated, on-the-ground presence across the MENA region

DUBAI, UAE, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BitDelta Securities Financial Services LLC (“BitDelta Securities”) today announced that it has received full regulatory approval from the Capital Market Authority (“CMA”) of the United Arab Emirates under the Category 5 — Arrangement and Advice license framework (License No. 20200000439). The approval follows the firm’s receipt of In-Principal Approval earlier this year and represents the successful conclusion of the CMA’s full licensing process, including the satisfaction of capital requirements, governance appointments, and operational setup.

With the license now fully granted, BitDelta Securities has commenced operations from its dedicated local office at Office 1515, Tamani Arts Offices Building, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE — establishing a permanent, regulated presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing financial centres.

A Regulated Gateway to Global Markets

Under the CMA Category 5 framework, BitDelta Securities is authorised to operate as a regulated Introducing Broker in the UAE, connecting eligible retail and professional investors with licensed and reputable international brokers across a wide range of asset classes — including foreign exchange, commodities, precious metals, indices, equities, bonds, ETFs, futures, options, and spot markets.

The firm’s role is strictly introductory in nature. BitDelta Securities does not hold or manage client funds, does not execute trades, and does not provide investment advice beyond the scope permitted under its license. All trading decisions remain solely at the discretion of the client, and all introductions are made exclusively to regulated financial institutions that maintain robust standards of security, investor protection, and market integrity.

On-the-Ground Presence in Dubai

The opening of BitDelta Securities’ Dubai office marks a deliberate strategic choice to build locally — not remotely. The Business Bay office will serve as the firm’s operational hub for the UAE and the wider GCC region, housing dedicated teams for client onboarding, compliance, regulatory affairs, and partner relations.

BitDelta Securities is committed to operating with human-led client engagement and transparent processes, ensuring that investors in the region are supported by professionals who understand the local market, regulatory landscape, and the specific needs of GCC-based clients.

Leadership Commentary

“Receiving full CMA Category 5 approval is a defining moment for BitDelta Securities. It represents the culmination of a rigorous regulatory process and validates our commitment to building a compliant, transparent, and institutionally disciplined financial services business in the UAE. With our local office now fully operational in Business Bay, we are not simply licensed in the region — we are present, accountable, and invested in it. Our clients across the GCC will be served by a dedicated team on the ground, operating under the direct supervision of the UAE’s Capital Market Authority. This is how we believe modern financial services should be delivered — with governance, integrity, and proximity to the markets we serve.”
— Dr. Demetrios Zamboglou, Group Chief Executive Officer, BitDelta

Our Doors Are Open

With its Dubai office now fully operational, BitDelta Securities welcomes clients, prospective partners, and interested traders to visit the team in person at Business Bay. Whether you are an investor looking for regulated access to global financial markets, a financial institution exploring partnership opportunities, or a trader seeking a trusted introducing broker in the UAE, the BitDelta Securities team is ready to meet you.

Walk-in consultations and scheduled meetings are available at Office 1515, Tamani Arts Offices Building, Business Bay, Dubai. The firm encourages anyone interested in learning more about its regulated introductory services to reach out directly or stop by the office to speak with the team.

Building for the Long Term in the UAE

BitDelta Securities’ strategy in the UAE centres on combining institutional-grade technology and deep liquidity with a permanent, on-the-ground operation — a model that prioritises regulatory discipline, physical presence, and human-led client relationships over purely digital or satellite-office approaches. The full CMA license and the establishment of a dedicated Dubai office underscore the firm’s long-term commitment to the UAE market and its ambition to become one of the most trusted regulated introducing brokers in the region.

At the end of each calendar year, a Form 1099-DIV will be sent to shareholders, which will state the amount and composition of the Fund’s distributions and provide information with respect to their appropriate tax treatment for the prior calendar year. 

The Fund’s distribution policy is subject to modification by the Board of Directors/Trustees at any time, and there can be no guarantee that the policy will continue. You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the distributions.

MANAGED DISTRIBUTION POLICY FUND
ANNOUNCES DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT DETAILS

abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (“ASGI”)

The abrdn Global Infrastructure Income Fund (“ASGI”) today announced that the Fund will pay the distribution noted in the chart above on October 30, 2026, to all shareholders of record as of October 6, 2026 (ex-dividend date: October 6, 2026).

The Fund has adopted a distribution policy to provide investors with a stable distribution out of current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital in reliance on an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Under applicable U.S. tax rules, the amount and character of distributable income for the Fund’s fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Fund’s fiscal year. However, under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and related rules, the Fund may be required to indicate to shareholders the estimated source of certain distributions to shareholders.

The following tables set forth the estimated amounts of the sources of the distributions for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the rules adopted thereunder. The tables have been computed based on generally accepted accounting principles. The tables include estimated amounts and percentages for the current distributions to be paid as well as for the cumulative distributions paid relating to fiscal year to date, from the following sources: net investment income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated compositions of the distributions may vary because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses on securities and currencies.

The Fund’s estimated sources of the current distributions to be paid and for its current fiscal year to date are as follows:

The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions for the current year will only be made after year-end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund’s investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. After the end of each calendar year, a Form 1099-DIV will be sent to shareholders for the prior calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.

The following table provides the Fund’s total return performance based on net asset value (NAV) over various time periods compared to the Fund’s annualized and cumulative distribution rates.

1 Return data is net of all fund expenses and fees and assumes the reinvestment of all distributions at prices obtained under the Fund’s dividend reinvestment plan.
2 Based on the Fund’s NAV as of August 31, 2026.

Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about a Fund’s investment performance from the amount of the Fund’s current distributions or from the terms of the distribution policy (the “Distribution Policy”).

The value at which a closed-end fund stock may trade on a public exchange is a function of external market factors that are not under the control of the Fund’s Board or Investment Adviser. Closed-end fund shares may therefore trade at a premium or a discount to net asset value at any given time. Shareholders should be aware that a fund’s premium to net asset value may not be sustainable and a fund’s discount to net asset value can widen as well as narrow. Shareholders of a fund trading at a premium who participate in that fund’s dividend reinvestment plan should note that the reinvestment of distributions may occur at a premium to net asset value.

While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund’s investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund’s market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund’s shares in the open market.

Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may distribute any long-term capital gains more frequently than the limits provided in Section 19(b) under the 1940 Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder. Therefore, distributions paid by the Fund during the year may include net income, short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains and/or a return of capital. Net income dividends and short-term capital gain dividends, while generally taxable at ordinary income rates, may be eligible, to the extent of qualified dividend income earned by the Fund, to be taxed at a lower rate not to exceed the maximum rate applicable to your long-term capital gains. Distributions made in any calendar year in excess of investment company taxable income and net capital gain are treated as taxable ordinary dividends to the extent of undistributed earnings and profits, and then as a return of capital that reduces the adjusted basis in the shares held. To the extent return of capital distributions exceed the adjusted basis in the shares held, capital gain is recognized with a holding period based on the period the shares have been held at the date such amount is received.

The payment of distributions in accordance with the Distribution Policy may result in a decrease in the Fund’s net assets. A decrease in the Fund’s net assets may cause an increase in the Fund’s annual operating expense ratio and a decrease in the Fund’s market price per share to the extent the market price correlates closely to the Fund’s net asset value per share. The Distribution Policy may also negatively affect the Fund’s investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold for the purpose of paying the distribution. The Fund’s Board has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Distribution Policy at any time.

The amendment, suspension or termination of the Distribution Policy may affect the Fund’s market price per share. Investors should consult their tax advisor regarding federal, state, and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.

Circular 230 disclosure: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the U.S. Treasury, we inform you that any U.S. tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.

In the United States, Aberdeen Investments refers to the following affiliated, registered investment advisers: abrdn Inc., abrdn Investments Limited, and abrdn Asia Limited.

Closed-end funds are traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. A Fund’s investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the fund’s portfolio. There is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

IEEE / Columbia University fireside chat and 19 technical papers from Tau and its research partners highlight progress in software-defined power and the technologies enabling electrification at scale.

NEW YORK and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tau Motors, Inc., a pioneer in software-defined power conversion, highlighted the technical depth behind its approach to electrification during Climate Week NYC 2026. The 19 technical papers reflecting research by Tau and its partners at the Columbia Center of Advanced Electrification (CCAE) are featured in the 2026 IEEE/CCAE Symposium on Advanced Electrification Systems program. During a fireside chat at the Columbia University event, Tau Founder and CEO Wesley Pennington discussed how integrating power electronics, electric machines, and software can accelerate electrification.

The research, developed by Tau and its partners at CCAE and featured in the symposium program, covers power conversion and control, electric machine modeling, energy storage, and grid-connected systems. The work reflects Tau’s sustained investment in power conversion, controls, and electric machine engineering, disciplines central to its Ion™ and Gamma™ platforms. The papers also highlight the breadth of Tau’s work across sustainable energy systems.

Tau’s Ion™ platform combines modular power electronics with firmware and software libraries to support applications across mobility, industrial equipment, energy infrastructure, and data centers. Its Gamma™ electric machine platform integrates machine design, power electronics, and controls to enable rare-earth-free motion.

At the September 25 symposium, Wesley Pennington, Founder and CEO of Tau, joined Matthias Preindl, Associate Professor at Columbia University and Tau’s Chief Scientist, for a fireside chat exploring the “electro-industrial stack” and what becomes possible when power electronics, electric machines, and software are designed together. The conversation examined how programmable architectures can improve system performance, reduce material dependencies, and accelerate deployment across transportation, industry, and digital infrastructure.

“Accelerating electrification means making the systems that convert and control power more efficient, more affordable, and easier to deploy,” said Pennington. “When power electronics, electric machines, and software are designed together, we can optimize the entire system. Tau is building the software-defined power platform to give industry greater control over performance, costs, and supply chains—and accelerate deployment at scale.”

The symposium featured speakers from organizations including GM Energy, Siemens, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, alongside researchers and other industry participants.

Tau established CCAE alongside Columbia Engineering to connect advanced research with the practical requirements of industrial applications. The work addresses challenges that influence efficiency, reliability, and the ability to deploy electric systems across a wider range of uses.
