New York, NY, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ruanyun Edai Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: RYET, the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a rebranding initiative to rename the Company to Formind Group Inc. (the "Rebranding"). The Company intends to seek shareholder approval for the proposed name change at an upcoming general meeting (the "General Meeting"). Subject to shareholder approval and customary corporate, Nasdaq and administrative processes, the Company intends to change its Nasdaq trading symbol to "FMND," which has been reserved.
The Rebranding reflects the Company's next phase - positioning the business for a broader, more global future and a platform designed to support international expansion, technology commercialisation, and a series of strategic actions over time.
"Today marks a transformative inflection point for our Company," said Maggie Fu, Chief Executive Officer. "Formind Group signals where we are headed: building a more globally oriented platform with the ambition, focus, and flexibility to execute on the opportunities in front of us. We view this rebranding as a starting point - one that better aligns our identity with the future we are building for shareholders."
Near-Term Momentum
As the Company advances its next phase, it is also progressing near-term initiatives intended to support international expansion and technology commercialization. In the Middle East, the Company is finalizing its first contract with a Saudi Ministry of Education-affiliated education services provider for Chinese language proficiency testing services, with an expected contract value of approximately > $500,000, subject to final execution and customary administrative steps.
In the United States, the Company is evaluating a Chinese language learning course initiative under its Hanlink brand in connection with a proposed cooperation under review with a leading U.S. teacher training institution. In parallel, the Company is preparing to introduce an "AI teacher" capability within Hanlink, intended to support classroom instruction and improve scalability in markets experiencing teacher capacity constraints.
A Platform for the Next Phase
The Company expects the Formind Group brand to serve as the foundation for continued momentum and increased market visibility, including initiatives that are intended to:
- pursue international expansion and deepen the Company's market reach across multiple regions;
- advance technology commercialisation through partnerships, customer programs and product development; and
- seek to enhance capital markets visibility and strategic optionality as the Company executes its growth roadmap.
The Company will provide additional details regarding the General Meeting in due course, including timing, record date, and related materials.
