"Our participation at JPCA 2025 underscores our commitment to innovation within the electronics industry," said Yuan Yuan Zhou, Global Business Director, Advanced Circuit & Packaging, Interconnect Solutions. "For over 50 years, we have collaborated with industry leaders to power remarkable advancements in electronics, with a strategic focus on integrate circuit (IC) substrate, advanced printed circuit boards (PCB), and advanced packaging. Our deep customer intimacy, along with the depth and breadth of our technical capabilities, continues to empower advanced computing and connectivity." As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to transform industries, the demand for high-performance IC substrates is surging, with Japan at the forefront of providing innovative materials and processes. These advanced substrates are critical for bridging AI chips and printed circuit boards, enabling quicker data processing and improved thermal management. The global IC substrate market is poised to experience notable growth, driven by the expanding AI ecosystem and the increasing demand for advanced solutions. DuPont's comprehensive solutions empower IC substrate manufacturers to expedite product development and enhance production efficiency. Key offerings include DuPont™ Circuposit™ desmear and electroless copper for mSAP and SAP processes, and DuPont™ Copper Gleam™ electrolytic copper for conformal through-hole plating, which enhances core layer plating technologies. Moreover, DuPont™ Microfill™ acid copper optimizes blind via filling for build-up layers, thereby boosting mSAP and SAP process efficiency. Additionally, DuPont™ Riston® dry film photoresist is essential for a variety of applications, including core and build-up layers, final finishes, and copper pillars. Visitors to DuPont's booth are invited to connect with our experts and discover integrated solutions designed to drive success in the rapidly evolving electronics industry, including our complete range of offerings for PCBs.

Wells Fargo Confirms that the Federal Reserve Has Removed the Limits on Growth in Total Assets Imposed in its 2018 Consent Order and Announces a Special Employee Award
SAN FRANCISCO, June 03, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC) today confirmed that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the Federal Reserve) has determined that Wells Fargo has met all conditions required to remove the limits on growth in total assets imposed in its 2018 consent order. Conditions to lift the restriction outlined in the order included wide-ranging requirements to support board effectiveness and improvements in the company's firmwide compliance and operational risk programs. It also included a requirement for a third-party independent review of the work completed by the company. This third-party review was in addition to reviews the Federal Reserve undertook directly. "The Federal Reserve's decision to lift the asset cap marks a pivotal milestone in our journey to transform Wells Fargo. We are a different and far stronger company today because of the work we've done," said Wells Fargo CEO Charlie Scharf. "In addition, we have changed and simplified our business mix, and we have transformed the management team and how we run the company. We have been methodically investing in the company's future while improving our financial results and profile. We are excited to continue to move forward with plans to further increase returns and growth in a deliberate manner supported by the processes and cultural changes we have made." "This is a huge accomplishment for the 215,000 employees of Wells Fargo, who all contributed to this milestone – whether they worked directly on the risk and control efforts, supported the work indirectly by helping us embed a different way of working into our culture, or continued to serve our customers and clients day in and day out through difficult conditions. Our employees have invested so much of themselves into the company in recent years, and as a demonstration of our appreciation for what we have accomplished together, all full-time employees of Wells Fargo will receive a special $2,000 award1. For most, it will be in the form of a restricted stock grant. A $2,000 award means different things for different people, but we wanted everyone – including tellers, contact center representatives, administrative assistants, operations staff, bankers, financial advisors, and corporate staff – to have an opportunity to own a part of Wells Fargo and hopefully benefit from our future success." Steven D. Black, Chair of Wells Fargo's Board of Directors, added: "I want to thank our Board of Directors for their work in achieving today's outcome, including the substantial changes we have made to board composition and oversight. On behalf of the entire Board, I also want to thank the management team, and in particular, Charlie for his inspired leadership. Since he arrived in late 2019, Charlie has assembled a top-notch management team, overseen the details and the big picture of a major transformation effort, and made meaningful changes to improve returns through a global pandemic, periods of economic volatility and significant regulatory headwinds. He has been instrumental in advancing our goal to make Wells Fargo one of the most well-respected, consistently growing financial institutions in the country."
