SINGAPORE, Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (the “Company”), an AI-enabled workforce management platform and integrated facility management (IFM) provider operating across Asia and beyond, today announced a corporate rebranding to YYForce Inc. (“YYForce”) and Nasdaq ticker symbol change to “YFOR.”

The Company will operate under the name “YYForce Inc.” from September 2, 2026. The corporate name and ticker symbol change are also expected to become effective with Nasdaq on September 2, 2026, with the Company's Class A ordinary shares expected to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the new ticker symbol "YFOR" at the open of business on the same day. Until that date, the Company's Class A ordinary shares will continue to trade under the ticker symbol "YYGH." No action is required by existing shareholders with respect to the name change or ticker update. Outstanding stock certificates representing shares of YY Group Holding Limited will remain valid and do not need to be exchanged. The Company's ISIN number will remain the same.

“We chose the name YY Group when our business was focused on regional workforce solutions," said Mike Fu, CEO of YY Group. "We've since scaled rapidly into an AI-enabled, international platform infrastructure company, offering a vast human capital network, integrated IFM services, human-robot co-working models, and intelligent software that helps our clients run their businesses and properties more efficiently. Our corporate identity must evolve in parallel. We believe the name “YYForce” reflects our global growth momentum, our expanding footprint across workforce management, IFM, and commercial automation, and our dedication to driving value creation for our clients, partners, and shareholders."

Alongside the name change, YYForce has unveiled a new corporate identity, including a refreshed logo and the tagline, “Forging Forward Together.” The updated identity will roll out across the Company's investor relations materials, digital platforms, and site signage over the coming months.
