(SeaPRwire) –   The move is designed to demonstrate long-term unity among key shareholders and should help reduce potential short-term volatility in share supply

ARLINGTON, Va., April 20, 2026 — OwlTing Group (NASDAQ: OWLS) (“OwlTing” or the “Company”), operating as OBOOK Holdings Inc., a global fintech entity, revealed today that SBI Holdings, Inc. (“SBI”) along with the Company’s applicable legacy shareholders—who account for over 99% of the shares covered by this extension—have consented to prolong their lock-up agreements with the Company by another 12 months.

This extension is anticipated to offer greater clarity regarding the Company’s public float throughout the next year and to lessen the risk of short-term market disruption that might arise from concentrated liquidity events. OwlTing is of the opinion that this move demonstrates the enduring commitment of its long-term investors and their ongoing agreement with the Company’s strategic path.

“We appreciate the continued backing from SBI, Mr. Yoshitaka Kitao, and our long-term shareholders,” stated Darren Wang, Founder and CEO of OwlTing Group. “This unity signifies a mutual long-term perspective on the Company, enabling OwlTing to remain concentrated on progressing its global payment infrastructure and carrying out its compliance-first growth strategy.”

OwlTing holds regulatory permissions across 41 U.S. states¹, underpinning OwlPay, its compliant cross-border payment infrastructure² for international businesses. Outside the U.S., the Company keeps moving forward with its global regulatory plan, presently holding a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license in the EU and an Electronic Payment Intermediary Service Provider (Bank API) license in Japan.
