$465M agreement ensures continuity for London market insurance customers during ambitious transformation program

LONDON, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The Shareholders of the London Market Joint Venture (XIS and XCS) – DXC Technology (NYSE: DXC), Lloyd’s and the International Underwriting Association (IUA), have announced a $465 million USD contract extension to ensure seamless continuity for the activities of London insurance market customers whilst DXC moves forward with the transformation of the market’s IT systems.

Following a previous agreement to build the digital platform that will underpin the London market’s transformation, in the latest contract the parties have agreed on a set of services that will create the foundation to safely transition approximately 400 London market insurance companies over to the cloud-native digital platform running on AWS. The agreement includes provisions for operational resilience in line with new industry regulations.

As the world’s largest insurance centre, the London insurance market represents 7.6% of the global commercial (re)insurance market, employs 47,000 people across the UK, and makes up almost a quarter of the City of London’s GDP, with its gross written premium worth over US$110 billion.

Supporting the Market’s Joint Venture, and as the Joint Venture’s largest shareholder, DXC will work with Lloyd’s, the IUA, and all market associations and participants to transition London market insurance companies to the new digital platform, bringing significant improvements in speed and efficiency. The work is being done in support of the Future at Lloyd’s initiative and in conjunction with brokers, managing agents, syndicates, and insurers of the London insurance marketplace. One of the biggest current cloud migrations in the world, the goal is to transform the London insurance market from a largely paper-based, analogue set of processes to one that is data-focused, automated, and cost-efficient.

John Neal, CEO of Lloyd’s said: “In announcing this extension, Lloyd’s, DXC and the IUA are demonstrating our commitment to digitally securing the activities of London market customers in both the long and short term. With the Future at Lloyd’s transformation, we will transition to a single platform that will provide automated processing and accounting for the market, leading to a substantial reduction in operating costs, and providing customers with a much faster, better service.”

“The new digital platform that we are building will transform the London market into one of the most technologically advanced insurance markets in the world,” said Mike Salvino, President and CEO of DXC Technology. “This agreement will enable us to support the delivery of the new digital processing services to London insurance market companies safeguarding their transformation journey.”

Dave Matcham, CEO of the IUA, said: “This extension signifies the intent of the Joint Venture to accelerate the current technological capabilities of company market customers. Using technology to adapt quickly to market conditions will give insurance companies confidence that they can modernize their businesses while reducing their exposure to risk”.

Published

By

A new section of the Hivelocity store offers in-stock, fully functional dedicated servers at reduced monthly pricing, giving customers facing long lead times on new hardware a faster path to deployment.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hivelocity, an infrastructure-as-a-service provider of bare metal, dedicated servers, edge computing, and virtualized cloud solutions, today announced the launch of the Hivelocity Outlet Store, a new section of its storefront offering proven, in-stock server configurations at reduced monthly pricing. The Outlet Store gives customers immediate access to reliable infrastructure without the wait times currently affecting parts of the hardware supply chain.

As Hivelocity upgrades its server portfolio, the company moves previous configurations into the Outlet Store, offering them at lower prices. These servers enable organizations to support development, proof-of-concept, build farm, and similar engineering workloads without paying for excess capacity or waiting for the latest systems to become available.

Outlet Store servers are available on a month-to-month basis, with no long-term contract required. Customers who outgrow an outlet configuration can move up to a more powerful dedicated server as their requirements evolve. To keep pricing low and enable rapid deployment, the Outlet Store does not offer custom configuration options.

“If you’ve been waiting on new hardware because of supply chain delays, there’s no reason to keep waiting. The Outlet Store gives customers proven, in-stock servers at a lower price point, so they can get running today instead of sitting in a queue.” — Ned Pope, Chief Product Officer, Hivelocity

Customers can access the Outlet Store now through the Hivelocity. For additional workload needs, they can continue to choose from the full Hivelocity catalog of dedicated, cloud, and colocation infrastructure.

About Hivelocity

Founded in 2002, Hivelocity operates bare metal infrastructure across globally distributed data centers, serving mid-market and enterprise customers in healthcare, SaaS, fintech, gaming, and high-performance computing.

Published

By

NANJING, China, Sept. 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Scage Future (Nasdaq: SCAG) (“Scage” or the “Company”), a zero-emission solution provider of new energy heavy-duty commercial vehicles and e-fuel solutions, today announced that on August 27, 2026 the Company received two notification letters (together, the “Notification Letters”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). This press release is issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure upon receipt of a deficiency notification.

The first Notification Letter advised the Company that, based on Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the 30 consecutive business days from July 16, 2026 to August 26, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum MVLS of US$50,000,000 required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). Nasdaq calculates MVLS based on the most recent total shares outstanding multiplied by the daily closing bid price. Nasdaq also noted in the letter that the Company does not meet the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(A), the Total Assets and Total Revenue standard.

The second Notification Letter advised the Company that, based on Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) for the 30 consecutive business days from July 16, 2026 to August 26, 2026, the Company no longer meets the minimum MVPHS of US$15,000,000 required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2&3)(C). Nasdaq calculates MVPHS based on the most recent publicly held shares information multiplied by the closing bid price.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5810(c)(3)(C) and 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has been provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days, through February 23, 2027, to regain compliance with each requirement. To regain compliance, the Company’s MVLS must close at US$50,000,000 or more, and its MVPHS must close at US$15,000,000 or more, in each case for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. Nasdaq staff may, in its discretion, require the Company to satisfy the applicable requirement for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that compliance has been demonstrated.

The Notification Letters have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s American depositary shares, which continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SCAG.” A deficiency indicator will be displayed with quotation information for the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.com and NasdaqTrader.com, and the Company will be included in the list of non-compliant companies published on the Nasdaq Listing Center commencing five business days from the date of the Notification Letters.

If the Company does not regain compliance with either requirement prior to the expiration of the applicable compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting, at which time the Company may appeal the determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Alternatively, the Company may be eligible to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided it meets the Capital Market’s continued listing requirements.

As previously disclosed, the Company received a notification from Nasdaq on June 11, 2026 regarding the minimum bid price requirement, with a compliance period through December 8, 2026. The Company has also received a notification regarding the composition of its audit committee, with a remediation period through December 22, 2026.

The Company intends to monitor its MVLS and MVPHS and to consider the options available to it to regain compliance, which may include applying to transfer its listing to The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s business operations are not affected by the receipt of the Notification Letters. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the MVLS or MVPHS requirements within the applicable compliance periods.
