MACAU, Sept. 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zenta Group Company Limited ("Zenta Group" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ZTG) today issued a clarification regarding the number of its ordinary shares issued and outstanding, following the share issuance completed in connection with the closing of the Company's acquisition of ZentoAI Intelligent Technology Company Limited ("ZentoAI") on September 11, 2026.
The Company is providing this clarification because it has become aware that certain third-party market-data and trading platforms continue to display an older share count that does not reflect that issuance.
Current Shares Outstanding
As reported in the Company's Report of Foreign Private Issuer on Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 16, 2026, as of the closing of the ZentoAI acquisition the Company had 24,087,179 ordinary shares issued and outstanding, consisting of:
- 17,719,499 Class A ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, each carrying one vote; and
- 6,367,680 Class B ordinary shares, par value US$0.001 per share, each carrying fifty votes.
The Company's Class A ordinary shares are the only class of the Company's shares listed and traded, and trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "ZTG." The Class B ordinary shares are not listed and are convertible, at the option of the holder, into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis.
Recent Share Issuance
On September 11, 2026, the Company completed its acquisition of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of ZentoAI. As part of the consideration for the acquisition, the Company issued 12,278,340 Class A ordinary shares to the selling shareholders. That issuance is reflected in the share counts set out above.
Clarification Regarding Third-Party Market Data
The Company has become aware that certain third-party financial-data and trading platforms continue to display a share count for the Company of approximately 11.8 million shares outstanding. That figure corresponds to the total number of the Company's ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the September 11, 2026 issuance described above, and therefore does not reflect that issuance or the Company's current capital structure.
Third-party platforms obtain, compile, and update share data on their own schedules and according to their own methodologies, and the timing of such updates is outside the Company's control. The Company is not aware of any basis to suggest that any platform, data provider, broker, or exchange has acted improperly, and this announcement should not be read as any allegation against any of them.

Where information displayed on any third-party platform differs from the Company's SEC filings, investors and market participants should rely on the Company's SEC filings.
