Advasa Holdings, Inc. Makes Nasdaq Debut

Tokyo and New York, August 25, 2026 – Advasa Holdings, Inc., a fintech holding company specializing in Earned Wage Access (EWA) and next-generation financial infrastructure solutions via its Japanese subsidiary, ADVASA Co., Ltd., proudly announces that its common shares have commenced trading on the Nasdaq Global Market today under the ticker symbol "ADBT."

As of today, trading on the Nasdaq takes place during regular market hours, from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET (10:30 PM to 5:00 AM JST the next day). However, given that the company is listed through a Public Direct Listing, the commencement of trading will not start precisely at 9:30 AM ET. The opening price will be established through Nasdaq's opening auction process, which considers both buy and sell orders. Thus, although the trading officially begins with regular hours, the actual start time may vary based on market conditions and order volume.

The direct listing process is founded solely on a prospectus that forms part of our effective registration statement. A copy of the prospectus can be accessed free of charge on the SEC EDGAR website (www.sec.gov).

This announcement does not constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities. Additionally, any offering or solicitation in jurisdictions where such offerings are illegal prior to appropriate registration or qualification under applicable securities laws will not take place.

In Japan, investors can expect trading opportunities through several brokerage firms, including:

- Webull Securities
