NEW MEDIA CAPITAL 2.0 INC. ANNOUNCES RTO TARGET COMPANY EXPANDS OPERATIONS INTO AUSTRALIA and NEW ZEALAND

Asiatel Outsourcing Ltd., the target company under New Media Capital 2.0 Inc.'s previously announced definitive share exchange agreement dated July 16, 2025 (see news releases of July 18, 2025, and Sept. 22, 2025), has formalized a new strategic presence in Australia and New Zealand through a partnership with Custom Outsourcing Pty. Ltd., an established business process outsourcing (BPO) provider based in Brisbane, Australia, to oversee expansion of its services throughout the region.

Asiatel chief executive officer Jasjit Anand (Andy) stated: "Darren Smith, CEO of Custom Outsourcing Pty. Ltd. will represent Asiatel as its regional director for this region. Custom Outsourcing is a well-established niche BPO provider with deep market reach across Australia and New Zealand. This partnership represents a strong alignment of strengths, combining Asiatel's expanding service portfolio with their local market expertise and network. Together, we plan to accelerate growth in these regions by offering both traditional BPO solutions and the next generation of AI-driven [artificial intelligence] services enabled through our partnership with file.AI. This marks the beginning of a new cycle of value creation as Asiatel deepens its presence in the Australia and New Zealand markets."

Australia is one of the largest markets for outsourcing to the Philippines, second only to the United States. Recent data confirm that the Philippines remains the leading offshore destination for Australian businesses seeking outsourcing partners in 2025, surpassing several other traditional providers.

The drivers of outsourcing from Australia/New Zealand to the Philippines include:

  • Cost savings with labour and operational costs in the Philippines significantly lower than comparable costs in Australia or New Zealand;
  • Strong English proficiency and cultural compatibility, which reduce communication issues and improve customer experience;
  • Mature vendor ecosystem in the Philippines with experience delivering not just voice-based customer care but increasingly complex, high-value services such as digital, analytics, compliance and back-office financial functions.

Darren Smith, CEO of Custom Outsourcing, reported: "Representing Asiatel in the Australia and New Zealand region allows us to accelerate client engagement and deliver greater value across local markets. Businesses here place a premium on trusted, regionally based providers, and our partnership brings that assurance. As part of our market introduction, Asiatel will participate in The Business Show Australia in Sydney on Nov. 5 to 6, 2025, showcasing our next-generation outsourcing and AI-driven solutions to the local business community."

Asiatel's participation at The Business Show Australia represents an important step in strengthening its visibility and presence within the Australian and New Zealand business community. The event typically draws over 6,000 attendees, including key decision makers from technology, finance, professional services and growth-stage enterprises across Australia and New Zealand. Asiatel will showcase its full suite of services -- bookkeeping, sales support, customer engagement, IT (information technology) and highlight its AI-enabled differentiation through file.AI. Asiatel expects to generate direct leads, initiate conversations with prospective clients, and strengthen its visibility in the region's BPO and innovation ecosystem.

New Media chief executive officer John Putters reported: "Asiatel continues to make strong progress expanding its global footprint, recently into North America with the launch of its Vancouver sales office and now into Australia and New Zealand through this new regional partnership. These strategic moves underscore Asiatel's commitment to long-term growth and diversification, which we believe will translate into meaningful value creation for both existing shareholders and new investors participating in the concurrent capital raise."
