As foreshadowed in a January 2025 press release, Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/YYAI#NASDAQ">YYAI</a>) is pleased to announce that its majority-owned subsidiary, Yuanyu Enterprise Management Limited (YYEM), has signed an MCN (Multi-Channel Network) agency services agreement to create and sell content to TikTok as part of its exciting new vertical centered on social networking applications.
Under this agreement, YYEM will procure the production of content to be live-streamed or served as videos to TikTok's multitude of users in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This is expected to include engaging broadcasts across various categories, such as sports, gaming, and lifestyle topics, produced by popular Twitch hosts and other influencers within the network that YYEM is developing. We anticipate that YYEM's new vertical will also include live-streaming, voice chat rooms, gaming, and influencer-driven user-generated content (UGC). The fees generated by the arrangement with TikTok will depend on the rate of conversion by TikTok end-users.
With TikTok facing uncertainty in North America, YYEM is aiming to capitalize on the platform's massive reach in the MENA region. As of July 2024, countries like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia reported TikTok penetration rates exceeding 120% of the adult population, making this a prime market for YYAI and YYEM to target with our new venture.

Ukraine and the United States are approaching a deal regarding Ukraine's rare earth minerals, but President Volodymyr Zelensky remains committed to security guarantees. His administration <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/02/43788546/ukraine-officials-stall-trumps-colonial-rare-earths-bid-prefer-mutually-beneficial-deal" rel="noreferrer noopener">delayed the initial push</a> to sign the agreement, asking for military assurances and disputing the financials.
"I don't want something that 10 generations of Ukrainians will have to pay back," Zelensky said at Sunday's press conference, according <a target="_blank" href="https://www.wsj.com/world/ukraines-zelensky-wants-better-terms-on-minerals-deal-demanded-by-trump-7d3a092f" rel="noreferrer noopener">to</a> the Wall Street Journal.
The minerals deal is a part of President Donald Trump's effort to broker a ceasefire on the three-year conflict, as gaining access to Ukraine's resources would reduce reliance on foreign supply chains.
Still, Ukraine is absent from direct negotiations between Washington and Moscow in Saudi Arabia, raising concerns about Kyiv being sidelined from discussions about its own future.
Zelensky warned that Ukraine would not agree to the deal if it did not serve the country's long-term interests. "The deal must be ‘win-win' for Ukraine and the U.S.," he said, pushing back against the Trump administration's argument that American business investments in Ukraine alone would be a security guarantee.
The friction between Kyiv and Washington has risen, with the NY Times <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/19/world/europe/ukraine-zelensky-trump-russia-war.html" rel="noreferrer noopener">reporting</a> that Trump called Zelensky a "dictator "for postponing the elections while Zelensky accused Trump of spreading Russian disinformation. Regardless of those tensions, both administrations have proceeded with "constructive "negotiations, per Ukraine's chief of staff, Andrii Yermak.
Despite Trump's interests, it is worth mentioning Ukraine has no internationally recognized rare earth reserves. The country commercially produces some critical minerals, like titanium and gallium, but not at a scale comparable to the enormous sums Trump has suggested.
Ukraine's geological agencies have estimated notable potential deposits, but they are largely undeveloped. Bringing mines into production is a notoriously <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39870803/us-mine-development-delays-among-worlds-longest-second-only-to-zambia" rel="noreferrer noopener">slow and costly process</a>.
Zelensky also pointed out the disparity between U.S. claims about the cost of its support. While Trump has referenced figures as high as $500 billion, Ukraine's estimates place total U.S. assistance closer to $120 billion, according to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ifw-kiel.de/topics/war-against-ukraine/ukraine-support-tracker/" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kiel Institute</a>.
"The question of $500 billion is no longer there," Zelensky said, referring to the initial demand from Washington. "We do not recognize the debt," he added, clarifying that Ukraine would not accept an arrangement that treats U.S. aid as a loan to be repaid through mineral revenues.

Under the terms of the deal, RGA is reinsuring&nbsp;75%&nbsp;of Equitable&#8217;s in-force life insurance liabilities. The block includes approximately&nbsp;$18 billion&nbsp;of general account reserves and&nbsp;$14 billion&nbsp;of separate account reserves.
This deal is set up to allow RGA to invest $1.5 billion in capital at the closing. It is expected to generate returns within RGA&#8217;s projected range, while also providing a notable increase in the company&#8217;s adjusted operating earnings per share.
Furthermore, the agreement expands RGA&#8217;s partnership with Equitable across various sectors, including underwriting, product creation, distribution, and investment management.
&#8220;This partnership is an example of our capacity to provide creative solutions and technical expertise that support both sides of the balance sheet, and it is a prime example of how the execution of our Creation Re strategy can address our clients&#8217; current and future needs,&#8221; said Executive Vice President, Head of the Americas, RGA, Ron Herrmann.

The deal is expected to contribute around $70 million to adjusted operating income before taxes in 2025. This amount is anticipated to increase to between $160 million and $170 million in 2026, eventually stabilizing at around $200 million each year thereafter.
&#8220;Our strong financial position enables us to capitalize on this opportunity with Equitable, and the transaction is expected to meaningfully contribute to RGA&#8217;s earnings per share, with anticipated attractive returns on capital,&#8221; said Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer, RGA, Axel André.
RGA intends to fund the transaction with surplus capital and, if necessary, proceeds from debt financing, contingent on market conditions. The transaction is set to close in mid-2025, pending regulatory approval and other customary closing conditions.
The deal is expected to create more than $2 billion in value for Equitable Holdings, encompassing a favorable ceding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43907593" rel="noreferrer noopener">commission and the release of capital.</a>
Also, Equitable plans to execute $500 million of incremental share repurchases, above the company&#8217;s 60-70% payout ratio target, following the close of the transaction.
Additionally, Equitable announced its intention to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43907646" rel="noreferrer noopener">increase its ownership stake in AB</a> through a tender offer to purchase up to $1.8 billion of units of AllianceBernstein Holding L.P. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AB#NYSE">AB</a>)
Price Action: RGA shares are trading higher by 3.55% at $196.11 in premarket at the last check Monday.

OS Therapies, Inc. (NYSE-A: OSTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company advancing immunotherapies and targeted drug conjugates for cancer treatment, announced the formation of subsidiary OS Drug Conjugates (OSDC). The formation of OSDC coincides with formal strategic options initiatives to create value from the Company's leading-edge, patented silicone dioxide-based, pH sensitive tunable antibody drug conjugates (tADC) &amp; other tunable drug conjugates (tDC) platforms. The Company has initiated discussions with clinical-stage ADC therapeutics companies in the U.S., China and other jurisdictions to form joint ventures (JVs) pairing those companies' clinical-stage assets with certain assets from the tADC and/or tDC platforms and spinning the JVs into standalone public companies. If successful, OS Therapies intends to provide stock dividends of the public JVs to shareholders.
The OST-tADC and OST-tDC technologies are centered around the Company's proprietary next-generation tunable Antibody Drug Conjugate (tADC) and tunable Drug Conjugates (tDC) platforms. These advanced technologies incorporate pH-sensitive silicon-based linkers: SiLinkers&#x2122; to link the targeting antibodies (or antibody fragments) and therapeutic moieties together while coating the entire package with pH sensitive coating. This strategy can release multiple therapeutic agents selectively within the tumor and tumor microenvironment, which have lower pH levels than the rest of the body. This approach aims to maximize the therapeutic effects while minimizing damage to healthy cells.
