Windhoek, Khomas, Namibia, 20th Feb 2026 – Trustco Group Holdings Limited (“Trustco”) is ending its American Depositary Receipt (“ADR”) programme with the Bank of New York Mellon, effective on or about 23 March 2026. The two parties agreed to wind down the programme under the terms of their existing agreement. In plain terms, an ADR is a certificate that allows a foreign company’s shares to trade in the United States. Trustco launched its ADR programme in 2014 and in 2019 became one of the first Namibian companies to trade on a US securities platform — the OTCQX Best Market.

“We built our ADR programme from nothing in 2014, when most international investors couldn’t point to Namibia on a map. That programme opened the door, together with a 12-year partnership with Bank of New York Mellon, who held our hand from inception to now. But Namibia’s story has changed, and so has Trustco’s,” said Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Trustco’s CEO.

Dr Quinton van Rooyen, Trustco’s CEO.

“International investor interest in Namibia has surged over the past five years as major offshore energy discoveries and a growing pipeline of infrastructure, mining, property and financial services projects draw global capital into the country. Trustco’s own shareholder base has shifted with it, with a growing proportion now US-based. Trustco has previously announced its intention to pursue a direct listing on a US stock exchange. This strategy has not changed,” van Rooyen concluded.

ADR holders have until at least 26 March 2027 to convert their ADRs into the underlying ordinary shares, which can then be transferred to a South African or Namibian brokerage account.

Australia, 20th Feb 2026 – WT Compensation Lawyers, a Respected Brisbane Personal Injury Law Firm, has concluded its participation in the ALA Queensland Conference 2026, held from 12 to 15 February. The annual conference is recognised as a continuing professional development event for plaintiff lawyers across Queensland and brings together practitioners to examine current issues in personal injury law.

The conference program featured plenary sessions addressing key developments in the sector, alongside three concurrent streams focusing on motor accidents and compulsory third party claims, life insurance and Total and Permanent Disability matters, WorkCover, public liability, and PIPA-related issues. Over two days, presenters analysed legislative amendments, recent court decisions, and practical considerations affecting compensation claims. Attendees were eligible to claim up to 10 CPD points through participation in the program.

WT Compensation Lawyers attended the conference as participants. Representatives included Partners Jonathan Wu and Sinau, Special Counsel Tahnee, and legal staff members Landora, Jake, and Arnold. The firm did not attend as a sponsor or exhibitor and was not involved in the conference awards program as a nominee or sponsor.

The ALA Queensland Conference is described by the organisers as an opportunity for new and long-standing members and colleagues from across the state to reconnect, share knowledge, and broaden professional perspectives. In addition to formal sessions, the event included networking and social functions such as a welcome reception and conference dinner, providing further opportunities for professional engagement.

Jonathan Wu, Owner of WT Compensation Lawyers, said the conference offered a comprehensive review of developments influencing the personal injury landscape in Queensland.

“The ALA Queensland Conference provided a detailed examination of current issues in personal injury law, including statutory changes and evolving case law across motor accident, insurance, and workplace injury claims,” said Wu. “Participation in these discussions contributes to maintaining informed and careful advocacy in compensation matters.”

Sessions addressed practical aspects of claim preparation and dispute resolution, including evidentiary standards, procedural developments, and the interpretation of legislative frameworks governing compensation entitlements. Broader discussions also considered trends affecting plaintiff practice and the administration of compensation schemes.

WT Compensation Lawyers focuses on personal injury claims, including motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, public liability incidents, and Total and Permanent Disability insurance claims. Engagement in professional forums such as the ALA Queensland Conference forms part of the firm’s approach to ongoing professional development and sector collaboration.

Wu noted that structured events of this nature play an important role in anticipating future developments within the legal system.

“Continued engagement with professional conferences assists in monitoring emerging trends and areas of reform within Queensland’s compensation framework,” Wu said. “Future legislative and judicial developments will continue to shape personal injury practice, and remaining attentive to those changes is an essential component of responsible representation.”

By bringing together practitioners from across Queensland, the event fostered discussion around shared challenges and evolving standards within plaintiff law practice. The exchange of perspectives among legal professionals is considered an important element in maintaining consistency and fairness in the administration of compensation laws.

Australia, 20th Feb 2026 – Totalcare Dental and Dermal, a respected dental and dermal practice based in Bondi Junction, has expanded its clinical expertise in wisdom tooth extraction Sydney services, strengthening access to comprehensive assessment and surgical management for patients across Sydney’s eastern suburbs.

The expansion includes enhanced clinical protocols, additional professional training, and refined treatment planning processes focused on the structured management of impacted and problematic wisdom teeth. The development follows an increase in presentations involving pain, infection, and crowding associated with third molars.

Wisdom teeth generally emerge in the late teenage years or early adulthood. Limited jaw space can contribute to impaction, partial eruption, or misalignment. These conditions may result in inflammation, recurrent infection, decay in adjacent teeth, and gum disease. Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention are widely regarded as important in preventing more serious oral health complications.

As part of the strengthened approach to wisdom tooth extraction Sydney care, Totalcare Dental and Dermal has incorporated comprehensive pre-operative assessments into its clinical framework. Diagnostic imaging is used to evaluate tooth positioning, bone structure, and proximity to surrounding nerves. This process supports detailed treatment planning and informed clinical decision-making. Post-operative care protocols have also been formalised to monitor healing and reduce the likelihood of complications.

Ishara Goonewardene, Owner of Totalcare Dental and Dermal, said the enhanced focus on wisdom tooth extraction Sydney services reflects the clinical importance of timely and carefully managed intervention.

“Wisdom tooth complications can have a significant impact on oral health and overall comfort when not addressed appropriately,” Ishara Goonewardene said. “Expanded clinical capability enables careful assessment of each case and management in accordance with established safety and surgical standards.”

The enhanced service supports both routine and complex extractions. Impacted wisdom teeth, particularly those positioned close to nerves or beneath the gum line, require detailed evaluation and precise surgical technique. The practice continues to provide sedation dentistry options for eligible patients, assisting in the management of dental anxiety and procedural discomfort within a monitored clinical setting.

Clear communication before and after treatment forms part of the structured care pathway. Patients receive information regarding preparation, recovery expectations, and follow-up appointments. Emphasis is placed on infection control procedures, pain management strategies, and monitoring of healing progress to support safe outcomes.

Totalcare Dental and Dermal provides a wide range of dental services, including general dentistry, cosmetic treatments, orthodontics, dental implants, and emergency care. Services such as teeth whitening, veneers, and sedation dentistry are also available. The expanded wisdom tooth extraction Sydney expertise complements these offerings by supporting coordinated treatment planning when surgical intervention forms part of broader oral health management.

Dental practitioners often recommend assessment of wisdom teeth during the mid-teen years, even in the absence of symptoms. Radiographic examination can help identify developing impaction or alignment concerns. Early evaluation may allow for planned intervention before complications arise, potentially reducing surgical complexity and recovery time.

The practice’s location at Shop 3, Ground Level/1 Spring St, Bondi Junction NSW 2022 provides convenient access for residents, students, and workers seeking wisdom tooth extraction Sydney services. According to the clinic, the updated wisdom tooth care protocols have been integrated into routine consultations and referral pathways.

Ongoing professional development remains a component of the service expansion. Clinical staff participate in continued training aligned with current surgical techniques and regulatory standards. Attention is given to patient education, informed consent processes, and structured post-operative review.

Ishara Goonewardene said continued refinement of oral surgery services will remain a focus in the coming years.

“Future planning involves continued investment in clinical training and evidence-based protocols to support safe and effective wisdom tooth management,” Ishara Goonewardene said. “Maintaining high standards of care while adapting to evolving patient needs will remain central to practice development.”
