(OTCID:AASP) ("ASE" or the "Company"), a sports, media, and technology platform focused on the global racket sports ecosystem and built around the iconic brands of Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf, today announced that it has entered into a name and likeness license agreement with renowned tennis coach Darren Cahill.

Cahill, a former professional player and one of the most accomplished coaches in tennis history, has guided multiple Grand Slam champions and former world No. 1 players, including Andre Agassi, Jannik Sinner, Simona Halep, and Lleyton Hewitt. His addition further strengthens ASE's growing network of elite athletes, coaches and industry leaders working together to build a next-generation sports media and technology platform.

"Darren has had a profound impact on my career and on the sport of tennis," said Andre Agassi, Co-Founder of Agassi Sports Entertainment. "What makes Darren special isn't just his knowledge of the game-it's his ability to connect with people, communicate complex ideas simply and help athletes unlock their potential. Bringing Darren into the Agassi Sports Entertainment family is a natural extension of a relationship built on trust, innovation and a shared belief that great coaching should be more accessible to players everywhere."

"I've been fortunate to work with some incredible athletes throughout my career, and I've always believed that great coaching can change lives," said Darren Cahill. "Agassi Sports Entertainment is bringing together technology, media and some of the most recognizable names in sports to create something unique. I'm excited to work alongside Andre, Stefanie and the entire ASE team as we explore new ways to educate, inspire and connect with players and fans around the world."

ASE previously announced a multi-year collaboration with IBM to develop Agassi Intelligence, an AI-powered digital platform designed to bring advanced coaching insights, premium content, commerce, and community experiences together in a single destination for racket sports enthusiasts worldwide.
