On the same day, Greenfeed was also named among the Top 10 ESG Vietnam Green Enterprises 2026 in High-Tech Agriculture and the Top 100 ESG Vietnam Green Enterprises for the second consecutive year. Both rankings were presented under the ESG Vietnam Green Enterprises 2026 announcement ceremony on June 26.

Earlier, on June 11, Greenfeed was recognised in the Top 50 Corporate Sustainability Awards for the third time.

Greenfeed was honoured among the Top 10 ESG Vietnam Green Enterprises 2026 in High-Tech Agriculture on June 26

“These accolades reflect a long-term commitment to integrating ESG principles into our business strategy rather than treating sustainability as a compliance exercise. Our approach focuses on reducing environmental impacts while also improving operational efficiency, optimising resource utilisation, and creating long-term value for stakeholders throughout our 3F Plus value chain,” said a representative from Greenfeed.

As Vietnam's agriculture sector accelerates its transition towards greener and more resilient growth, Greenfeed has identified digital transformation as a key driver of sustainable development.

Over the past several years, the company has invested in a smart agriculture ecosystem that integrates DigiFarm, the Farm Management System, SAP Enterprise Resource Planning, and advanced data analytics into a unified digital platform.

The system supports Greenfeed's transition from experience-based livestock management to a data-driven operating model, enabling more informed and timely decision-making.

Real-time data collected from farms allows operational teams to monitor production continuously, identify abnormalities at an early stage, and respond more effectively.

At the same time, automation technologies and digital management systems have been deployed to optimise production processes, improve resource efficiency, and monitor energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in real time.

Each stage of animal feed production is closely monitored using real-time data, ensuring operational excellence

These investments have translated into measurable operational gains. Automation rates now exceed 70 per cent across many livestock production processes, while water consumption has fallen by around 13.3 per cent and electricity use by between four and six per cent.

More than 90 per cent of on-farm incidents can now be detected early through automated monitoring and warning systems, strengthening predictive capabilities, reducing operational risks and improving farm management performance.

Looking ahead, Greenfeed is expanding the application of emerging technologies such as AI and radio-frequency identification to further digitalise farm operations.

These technologies are expected to support more detailed animal-level management while enhancing traceability throughout the production cycle.

Alongside digital transformation, Greenfeed continues to expand circular economy initiatives and renewable energy solutions across its integrated 3F Plus value chain as part of its broader decarbonisation roadmap.

In 2025, the company completed the deployment of biomass energy across all of its animal feed mills, while expanding biogas power systems to 14 livestock farms and solar power installations to seven facilities.

As a result, renewable energy, including biomass, solar and biogas, now accounts for approximately 14 per cent of the company's total energy mix, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and easing pressure on the national electricity grid.

Solar panels installed at Greenfeed's mills

Greenfeed is also accelerating the electrification of production equipment. By the first quarter of 2026, around half of the company's forklifts had been converted to electric models, with full conversion targeted by the third quarter. Greenfeed's green energy initiatives are estimated to have reduced approximately 15,779 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2025, supporting its ambition to build a low-carbon operating model while advancing circular economy practices.

Within its animal feed business, the proportion of bulk feed deliveries increased to 21.3 per cent, contributing to lower logistics-related emissions and reducing approximately 3,219 tonnes of plastic packaging between 2021 and 2025.

Greenfeed has also redesigned packaging for processed food products to reduce plastic use while improving feed conversion ratios to enhance feed efficiency and lower indirect emissions from livestock production.

In parallel, the company has undertaken greenhouse gas inventories to establish measurable emissions reduction pathways and strengthen its long-term climate strategy.

GREENFEED receives global ‘Great Place to Work’ accolade GREENFEED in July received the Great Place to Work certification for the first time, a global recognition for workplace excellence.

The announcement was unveiled at the SGX Group-Gprnt Climate Action Forum, officiated by Ms Grace Fu, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations. The Forum convenes leading voices from corporates, capital markets, solution providers and the public sector, to foster awareness and capability-building across the SGX-listed community.

Powering the next phase of sustainability reporting for Singapore's listed companies

ESGenome will leverage Gprnt's digital infrastructure and automated reporting capabilities to reduce reporting burdens:

• The portal will feature CRD modules developed in consultation with relevant government agencies, to foster greater clarity for companies seeking to meet their mandatory reporting obligations. These modules incorporate guided workflows and plain-language prompts to support companies embarking on climate reporting for the first time.
• The portal has been wholly migrated onto the Gprnt platform, allowing users to automate their Scope 1 and 2 emissions calculations using trusted government data.
• These upgrades pave the way for the phased introduction of AI-powered capabilities to support disclosure preparation, climate risk and opportunity assessments, and the development of climate targets and transition plans.

Partnering the Council for a Competitive Climate Transition (C3T)

Gprnt, SGX Group and the C3T share a common objective of supporting companies to generate high-quality sustainability disclosures, develop robust corporate transition plans, and mobilise their supply chains to strengthen their long-term resilience and competitiveness. To this effect:

• The C3T will engage Gprnt and SGX Group to provide SGX-listed companies with relevant information and resources relating to climate risks, transition pathways, and sectoral benchmarks; and to continually identify information gaps and additional resources needed to support transition planning.
• The C3T encourages SGX-listed companies to participate in the Green 100 national movement as Enterprise "Queen Bees", and mobilise their suppliers, customers, and business partners to embark on basic sustainability reporting and capability building. By doing so, companies enhance the environmental competitiveness and resilience of their supply chains, improve their access to decision-useful data for Scope 3 emissions reporting, and unlock future opportunities for greener procurement and sustainable supply chain financing.

Chan Kum Kong, Head of Capital Market Development, SGX Group, said: "Companies are increasingly integrating climate-related risks and opportunities into strategy and risk management; and investors want confidence that these issues are being actively monitored and addressed. We recognise that readiness varies across companies, which is why large public companies can play an important role in supporting C3T's efforts and lifting capability across their value chains. Done well, this is not just climate action – it is part of value unlock; strengthening resilience, competitiveness and long-term enterprise value."

Kok Ping Soon, Co-Chair of the C3T, said, "Climate action is no longer just about compliance, it is about competitiveness. In SBF's National Business Survey, half of Singapore businesses expect climate risks to affect them and see decarbonisation as a way to lower costs. Yet many SMEs remain at the starting line, with 56% yet to begin and 92% lacking dedicated sustainability manpower. Listed companies can change this by leading from the front and bringing their suppliers along. Through C3T, we look forward to working with SGX, SGX-listed companies, and their value chains to turn reporting into action, and action into competitive advantage."

Lionel Wong, Chief Executive Officer, Gprnt, said, "What began as an effort to simplify sustainability reporting has now evolved into a common infrastructure for nationwide disclosures. Through ESGenome and the Green 100, we are creating a shared foundation for ESG reporting, trusted data, transition planning, value-chain engagement, and sustainable finance, reducing fragmentation and making it easier for companies of all sizes to participate meaningfully in Singapore's green transition."

Dnotitia contributed STAR-KV, selected as an ICML 2026 Spotlight Paper, achieving up to 20x KV cache compression and faster inference through low-rank compression and GPU optimization

In the experiments reported in the paper, low-rank compression alone reduced the KV cache by up to 75%. Combined with the mixed-precision quantization method proposed in the paper, STAR-KV compressed the full KV cache by up to 20x. The technology also improves computation speed through custom GPU kernels, increasing attention computation speed by up to 6.9x and overall generation throughput by up to 3.1x. STAR-KV also showed higher accuracy than major existing KV cache compression methods.

KV cache compression has become a key technical challenge in AI infrastructure. As research into reducing the memory bottleneck of long-context AI gains momentum, including the attention around Google's TurboQuant at ICLR 2026, STAR-KV presents a new approach that combines low-rank compression with quantization and GPU execution optimization.

The KV cache is temporary memory stored on the GPU so that a large language model (LLM) does not have to recompute context it has already processed. As AI evolves into agentic systems that use multiple documents, conversation history, code, search results, and outputs from external tools, the amount of context a model must process is growing rapidly. In this environment, the KV cache has emerged as a key bottleneck affecting both GPU memory usage and inference cost.

According to the STAR-KV paper, when a LLaMA-3.1-8B model processes a 128K-token context at a batch size of 4, the KV cache accounts for about 81% of total GPU memory. As long-context AI becomes more widely used, KV cache compression is increasingly viewed as a core AI infrastructure technology for processing long context at lower cost.

ICML, where the STAR-KV paper was accepted, is widely regarded as one of the top international conferences in AI and machine learning, alongside NeurIPS and ICLR. ICML 2026 will be held from July 6 to 11 at COEX in Seoul. This year, 23,918 papers entered review, 6,352 were accepted, and 536 were selected as Spotlight papers. Spotlight papers account for about 2.2% of all reviewed submissions and about 8.4% of accepted papers.

Going forward, Dnotitia plans to further advance STAR-KV for use in real-world AI service environments and explore its application to open-source LLM inference frameworks such as vLLM.

"Technologies that help AI process longer context faster and at lower cost are advancing rapidly" said MK Chung, CEO of Dnotitia. "STAR-KV addresses the core bottlenecks in KV cache capacity and attention processing speed, and Dnotitia aims to contribute to the AI inference ecosystem through open sourcing."

This partnership fully underscores Ribo's and Madrigal's joint commitment to advancing cutting-edge RNA therapeutics for liver diseases, with a primary focus on metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a field with tremendous unmet medical need. The collaboration covers multiple preclinical assets and further broadens the potential liver-directed therapeutic landscape for MASH.

"We are delighted to achieve the first key milestone in our joint MASH program with Madrigal in just a few months. Madrigal has established a market leading presence and profound clinical expertise in the MASH field, while Ribo possesses world-class capabilities in siRNA drug discovery and delivery technology. Our complementary strengths have driven the rapid progress of this project. Both parties are dedicated to accelerating the development of our novel siRNA candidate for MASH. We look forward to advancing this collaborative program together and bringing promising new therapeutic options to patients worldwide living with MASH," said Li-Ming Gan, co-CEO & Global R&D President of Ribo.

This year, Vinamilk had 17 nominations shortlisted across 11 categories, reflecting the breadth of its innovation capabilities across nutrition, product development, production technology and consumer experience. The following products were honored with awards: Optimum A2 Pro+ won the Best Children's Dairy Product award; Sure Prevent Gold won the Best Life-stage Innovation award; Vinamilk Gelato Matcha Gotcha Ice Cream won the Best Ice Cream award; Vinamilk Fresh Milk 100% Flavored won the Best Flavored Dairy Drink award; Vinamilk Gelato Ice Cream won the Best Packaging Design award.

Richard Hall, Chairman of the Global Dairy Congress and the World Dairy Innovation Awards, noted that in more than 20 years of organizing the awards, he had never seen a company win 5 awards in a single edition. "That is really an incredible achievement. Vietnam is a large and dynamic market with significant consumer needs, but what stands out is how Vinamilk is innovating in ways that place it ahead of many companies and markets around the world."

The award comes at a time when the global dairy industry is undergoing significant transformation. Consumers are increasingly seeking nutrition solutions tailored to their lifestyles, health goals and individual needs, while also placing greater emphasis on convenience, transparency, and sustainability.

"Each stage of societal development creates new expectations for nutrition," said Nguyen Quang Tri, Marketing Executive Director of Vinamilk. "This recognition reflects our long-term commitment to innovation and our efforts to develop products and solutions that deliver meaningful value to consumers."

Beyond the award itself, Vinamilk's strong presence across multiple categories demonstrates its broader approach to innovation. The company's shortlisted products covered children's nutrition, specialized nutrition, liquid milk, yogurt, ice cream, packaging innovation and production technology, reflecting a strategy that extends beyond product formulation to encompass the entire consumer experience.

Ananda Roy, Senior Vice President – Thought Leadership Europe for Circana, a leading global market research and data analytics firm from the US and a member of the 2026 awards judging panel, stated, "Vinamilk is well positioned in the global market. To be a key player, all it needs to do is to continue investing in good products, packaging, the proposition and consumer communication, but beyond that, I am very confident about the success of this company."

For nearly 50 years, Vinamilk has evolved alongside changing consumer needs, from improving access to quality nutrition to developing increasingly specialized and personalized nutrition solutions. Today, the company continues to invest in research, innovation, and sustainable development to meet the demands of modern consumers and strengthen its position in international markets.

Those awards not only recognize Vinamilk's achievements today but also reinforce the company's ambition to contribute to the future development of the global dairy industry through continuous innovation and consumer-focused growth.

OCI N.V. recommends the unsolicited all-cash Offer from NNS at EUR 4.10 per share. The Court-appointed Directors consent to the convocation of an extraordinary general meeting to submit the OCI-Orascom transaction to a shareholder vote.

The court-appointed independent non-executive directors (the "Court-appointed Directors") of OCI announce that, having completed their assessment of the transaction between OCI and Orascom in conjunction with the NNS Offer, they have decided to consent to the convocation of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to approve the OCI-Orascom transaction. The resolution to approve the OCI-Orascom transaction will be subject to the condition that NNS will have made the Offer, will have declared the Offer unconditional and will have completed settlement thereof. The reasons for the decision of the Court-appointed Directors are further explained in paragraph 5 below. Any reference to the Board in the remainder of this announcement, does not include the Court-appointed Directors, unless explicitly indicated otherwise.

1 THE OFFER

After NNS submitted a first proposal for a cash offer on 11 May 2026, the Board (excluding Nassef Sawiris and Nadia Sawiris) and NNS have been in discussions regarding a potential cash offer in connection with the Orascom Combination. The Board has carefully assessed and evaluated NNS' proposals for a voluntary all-cash offer, supported by its independent financial and legal advisers, and have considered it against alternative scenarios including a solvent wind-down.

On 24 June 2026, NNS announced its intention to launch a voluntary all-cash public offer for all issued and outstanding Shares at an offer price of EUR 4.10 cum dividend per share. On 29 June 2026, NNS announced that it has submitted a draft offer memorandum to the AFM in connection with its intention to launch a voluntary all-cash public offer for all Shares at an offer price of EUR 4.10 (cum dividend) per Share. NNS also announced that it has sufficient funds readily available to finance the Offer, and the payment of fees and expenses related to the Offer, through available cash resources.

NNS furthermore announced that the obligation of NNS to declare the Offer unconditional (het bod gestand doen) will be subject to a limited number of customary offer conditions, including (i) any required competition clearances having been obtained; (ii) no AFM notification under section 5:80 Wft preventing investment firms from cooperating with settlement; (iii) no governmental order or measure prohibiting completion of the Offer; and (iv) no permanent suspension or ending of trading in the Shares on Euronext Amsterdam. NNS stated that the Offer is not subject to a minimum acceptance threshold.

For further information regarding the Offer, including the offer conditions, reference is made to the announcement from NNS dated 29 June 2026, as published on the website of OCI. OCI and NNS have not entered into a merger agreement with respect to the Offer. Further announcements will be made if a merger agreement would be concluded.

OCI will hold an EGM prior to the closing of the acceptance period of the Offer and will publish its position statement at least ten business days prior to the closing of the acceptance period of the Offer in accordance with Section 18a Paragraph 1 of the Dutch Public Takeover Decree (Besluit openbare biedingen), to inform the shareholders about the Offer.

2 REASONS FOR RECOMMENDING THE OFFER

2.1 Introduction

This section sets out the Board's reasons for recommending the Offer. References to the Board in this section in the context of the Offer or the Orascom Combination should be read as references to the board of directors of OCI, excluding Nassef Sawiris and Nadia Sawiris, who have not participated in any of the discussions, deliberations, or decision-making relating to the Offer or the Orascom Combination. Any reference to the Board in the remainder of this announcement, does not include the Court-appointed Directors, unless explicitly indicated otherwise.

Further information on the status of the Orascom Combination is included in paragraph 2.6.

The Board continues to recommend the Orascom Combination. Should shareholders be offered the opportunity to elect between tendering their Shares in the Offer or participating in the Orascom Combination, the Board encourages each shareholder to make its own assessment, having due regard to its individual circumstances and investment objectives.

2.2 Comparison against alternative scenarios

In recommending the Offer, the Board has considered the alternatives available to shareholders. Since the initiation of the strategic review in 2023, the Board has identified no attractive strategic alternative to a solvent wind-down of OCI's currently remaining business, other than the Orascom Combination on its current terms.

In order to be prepared for the scenario in which the Orascom Combination cannot be consummated, and having regard to the initial findings of the Enterprise Chamber^[1] that the Board had potentially not devoted sufficient time to analysing a solvent wind-down as an alternative to the Orascom Combination, the Board engaged Alvarez & Marsal ("A&M"), an advisory firm with an internationally recognised reputation in managing complex wind-down processes, to prepare an in-depth assessment of a solvent wind-down scenario. A&M has provided the Board with a comprehensive assessment of, and planning for, a potential solvent wind-down.

In selecting A&M, the Board considered A&M's best in class expertise in managing complex wind-down processes, and full independence from OCI. The Board is satisfied that the A&M advice was provided by experts with the requisite experience and qualifications to be relied upon. A&M has significant experience in managing solvent wind down processes, including the orderly realisation of assets, settlement of liabilities, stakeholder management, and the distribution of surplus value to shareholders. Further details on A&M's credentials are set out in Annex I.

2.3 Analysis of a wind-down scenario

Based on its analysis of OCI's balance sheet, anticipated asset realisations, costs of a wind-down, and the settlement of all outstanding liabilities, A&M assessed two solvent wind-down scenarios: an Accelerated Exit Case, involving the early settlement, transfer, or insurance of outstanding exposures; and a Run-off Case, involving the managed resolution of liabilities over an extended period, with distributions made on a deferred basis.

Under these scenarios, the illustrative discounted value available for distribution to shareholders ranges from €3.21 per Share in the Accelerated Exit Case to €3.73 per Share in the Run-off Case, in each case excluding the impact of 15% Dutch dividend withholding tax ("DWT"), or €2.73 to €3.17 per Share, net of DWT. A more detailed discussion of A&M's findings is set out in paragraph 3 below.

The Board has been advised by legal counsel that, given the absence of meaningful fiscally recognized share capital, distributions in a wind-down scenario would be substantially fully subject to DWT. The Board has further been advised that proceeds received by shareholders who tender their Shares in the Offer will not be subject to DWT. The Board notes that, based on the findings of A&M, the Offer is financially superior to a solvent wind-down even for shareholders who may be eligible for a full or partial exemption from DWT on dividend distributions. A&M's findings have been a factor in the Board's decision to recommend the Offer.

2.4 Rothschild & Co fairness opinion

Upon receipt of the first non-binding proposal from NNS, the Board engaged N.M. Rothschild & Sons Limited ("Rothschild & Co") as its independent financial advisor to opine on the fairness, from a financial point of view, of a potential offer. In selecting Rothschild & Co, the Board had regard to its established knowledge of OCI gained in connection with the fairness opinion issued by it regarding the Orascom Combination.^[2] The Board therefore determined that Rothschild & Co was best placed to discharge this mandate, including by virtue of its ability to deliver its analysis within the timeline that the Board considered appropriate in fulfilling its responsibilities to shareholders.

Rothschild & Co has opined that the Offer is fair, from a financial point of view to shareholders. The text of the fairness opinion and a summary of the supporting materials are attached as Annex II to this press release.

2.5 Other considerations that have informed the Board's recommendation of the Offer

The Board has reviewed the terms of the Offer and notes that NNS has publicly stated that EUR 4.10 represents its "final" offer price. The Board further notes that NNS has confirmed its willingness to sell its entire shareholding in OCI to any third party willing to make an offer that delivers greater value to all shareholders.

The Board also compared the Offer price to recent OCI share price performance. The closing price on June 24 was €3.76 per Share (undisturbed share price) and the 30-day volume-weighted average price was €3.71 per Share. The Board observes that the Offer price represents a premium of 9% and 11%, respectively, to those reference prices.

2.6 Status of the Orascom Combination

On December 9, 2025, the Board recommended the Orascom Combination to shareholders. The Board continues to recommend the Orascom Combination. The Board notes that, based on the closing price of Orascom shares on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) on June 30, the implied value of the Orascom Combination for OCI Shareholders is currently approximately €6.08 per Share (€5.16 per Share, net of DWT).

The Board believes that a combination of the Offer and the Orascom Combination would be in the best interest of OCI and its stakeholders.

NNS has expressed its preference for a combined outcome in which the Offer and the Orascom Combination are both consummated. In addition, NNS has expressed an intention to offer OCI to acquire, at the market price at the time of such distribution, the Orascom shares that OCI would be required to sell in order to satisfy DWT obligations arising in connection with the distribution of Orascom shares to OCI shareholders upon consummation of the Orascom Combination. This would support market liquidity for shareholders who elect to participate in the Orascom Combination and who subsequently wish to sell their Orascom shares. The Board also notes that, during the period in which the Offer has been announced and the Orascom Combination has been approved, both the Offer and the Orascom Combination may support the OCI share price, to the benefit of shareholders who wish to sell their Shares prior to the consummation of either transaction, and may also enhance the liquidity of the Share during this period.

Following an extension by OCI, the transaction agreement between OCI and Orascom for the Orascom Combination is subject to a long-stop date of 31 December 2026. The Board further notes that NNS is no longer contractually bound to support the Orascom Combination.

3 REPORT OF ALVAREZ & MARSAL

A full summary of A&M's report, which summary has been made by A&M, is attached to this press release as Annex I. Consistent with typical solvent wind-down practice, the value impacts reflected in A&M's analysis includes not only estimated costs, but also reserves and holdbacks that may exceed liabilities or provisions currently recognised under IFRS and may be required until outstanding contractual obligations, warranties, indemnities and contingent matters are settled, transferred, insured, expired, or otherwise resolved.

4 REPORT OF ROTHSCHILD & CO

On June 30, 2026, Rothschild & Co rendered its opinion to the Board to the effect that, as of June 30, 2026, the €4.10 in cash per Share to be received by the holders of Shares in the Offer was fair, from a financial point of view to such shareholders.

The following is a summary of the material valuation analyses performed in connection with the preparation of Rothschild & Co's opinion dated June 30, 2026.

Rothschild & Co, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the United Kingdom, is acting for OCI and no one else in relation to the Offer and will not be responsible to anyone other than OCI for providing the protections afforded to its clients nor for providing advice in relation to the Offer.

The principal valuation methodology used was a net present value calculation of dividends from a solvent wind down which combines the adjusted cash position as of May 22, 2026, and future cash flows from anticipated HoldCo costs, anticipated indemnity/liability settlements, attributable operational cash flows from OCI Nitrogen (OCIN) and proceeds from the sale of OCIN to Agrofert. The cash position, HoldCo costs and indemnity/liability settlements were discounted at 5.6% and the cash flows related to OCIN at 9.1%.

The dividends in the solvent wind down analysis are based on projected annually distributable cash flows after retaining minimum cash balances required to provide for liquidity to continue operations (both for OCIN and OCI HoldCo), remaining liabilities and exposures. The current adjusted cash position was based on management data and includes all proceeds and final settlements from the sale of OCI Clean Ammonia, OCI Ammonia Holding, and the Methanex Corporation shares as well as all other adjustments to reflect May 22, 2026, balances. An independent accounting firm reviewed the schedules.

The HoldCo costs were based on management projections reviewed by the independent accounting firm; the Fertiglobe indemnity/escrow settlements were based on probability weighted ranges, in the Base Case aligned with the audited FY2025 financial statements; and the OCIN attributable operational cash flows and sale proceeds were based on management projections. In Rothschild & Co's Base Case complete liquidation in 2031 is assumed, and in the Downside Case in 2032. The Downside Case further assumes higher HoldCo costs as a result of later liquidation, higher Fertiglobe indemnity settlements and lower OCIN attributable operational cash flows and sale proceeds. This results in higher cash reserves to be retained during the wind-down in the Downside Case which further delay dividend distributions.

This analysis resulted in a Base Case value before DWT of €4.00 to €4.12 and a Downside Case value before DWT of €3.43 to €3.53.

Additional points of reference were analysts' average target prices, which ranged from €3.75 to €3.79 based on the most recently published reports from Berenberg, Citi, Degroof Petercam, HSBC, ING Bank, JP Morgan and Kepler Cheuvreux. Rothschild & Co has also considered the twelve month and three month volume weighted average prices in the stock market which ranged from €3.63 to €3.64; the 12 month high and low prices in the stock market which were €2.65 to €5.04; the 3 month high and low prices in the stock market which were €3.32 and €4.03; and, the current value of the proposed Orascom transaction which was €6.07 before DWT and €5.16 net of DWT.

The Rothschild & Co and A&M analyses are based on broadly similar distributable cash and dividend discount frameworks. The valuation differences are driven primarily by different assumptions regarding the timing and discount rate of cash available for distribution, rather than by fundamentally different standalone asset values.

In considering Rothschild & Co's analysis, shareholders should note that the valuation references used in connection with the original Orascom Combination and the current Offer are not directly comparable. Rothschild & Co's December 2025 fairness opinion was provided in the context of a share-for-share combination with Orascom Construction and assessed the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received by OCI under that transaction. The agreed exchange ratio reflected a relative valuation exercise for OCI and Orascom Construction and was intended to determine the relative contributions of each company to the Orascom Combination.

5 STATEMENT BY THE COURT-APPOINTED DIRECTORS

The Court-appointed Directors announce that, having completed their assessment of the transaction between OCI and Orascom in conjunction with the NNS Offer, they have decided to consent to the convocation of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company to approve the OCI-Orascom transaction. The resolution to approve the OCI-Orascom transaction will be subject to the condition that NNS will have made the Offer, will have declared the Offer unconditional and will have completed settlement thereof.

The Court-appointed Directors note that certain minority shareholders have indicated a preference for participating in the OCI-Orascom transaction, while others have expressed a preference for a cash exit. In reaching their decision, the Court-appointed Directors have taken both perspectives into account.

5.1 Mandate of the Court-appointed Directors

The Court-appointed Directors have been appointed by the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeal ("Enterprise Chamber") on 22 January 2026 as independent non-executive directors of OCI with a special mandate. That mandate requires them to independently assess the preparation of the transaction with Orascom Construction, or any other transaction with Orascom Construction requiring shareholder approval, and to ensure that the Board fulfils its obligations towards OCI and all its stakeholders, including, and in particular, its minority shareholders.

In carrying out their mandate, the Court-appointed Directors operate fully independently from the Company's controlling shareholder. This independence has been, and remains, pivotal to their role.

Since their appointment, the Court-appointed Directors have engaged extensively with a broad range of stakeholders. They have reviewed a considerable amount of documentation and have asked detailed questions about the background, preparation and terms of the OCI-Orascom transaction and the broader strategic context. The Court-appointed Directors have also appointed their own independent legal advisor, as well as AXECO Corporate Finance ("AXECO") as their own independent financial advisor.

Based on the analysis of all available information, the Court-appointed Directors have formed a considered view in respect of the OCI-Orascom transaction.

5.2 OCI-Orascom transaction

The Court-appointed Directors are of the view that, in the period up to the Enterprise Chamber's decision, the interests of OCI's minority shareholders were not sufficiently reflected in the process, structure and the Board's decision-making in respect of the OCI-Orascom transaction.

In reaching this view, the Court-appointed Directors have considered that (i) the transaction structure was atypical for Dutch listed companies, (ii) the controlling shareholder was effectively in a position to approve the OCI-Orascom transaction at OCI's extraordinary general meeting, without the support of any other OCI shareholder, (iii) the structure required all OCI shareholders to exchange their investment in a Dutch listed company for an investment in a company listed on a stock exchange outside the EEA, without an upfront cash exit alternative being offered, (iv) not all OCI shareholders would be able to receive their Orascom Construction shares through their existing securities accounts, (v) the transaction structure was such that the controlling shareholder would ultimately not incur Dutch dividend withholding tax, whereas a significant proportion of other OCI shareholders would, and (vi) OCI requested its financial advisor to issue a fairness opinion in respect of the OCI-Orascom exchange ratio, without the additional request to also consider the value ultimately received by OCI's shareholders.

5.3 NNS Offer

On 24 June 2026, NNS announced its intention to launch an all-cash offer, at an offer price of EUR 4.10 (cum dividend) per Share.

On 25 June 2026, the Court-appointed Directors announced that they welcomed the Offer, as it represented a potentially meaningful step towards resolving the impasse surrounding the OCI-Orascom transaction, and that they were continuing to consider the proposal. In that context, the Court-appointed Directors announced that the adequacy of the Offer would be a relevant consideration in their ongoing assessment of the OCI-Orascom transaction.

On 26 June 2026, NNS announced its confirmation that the offer price of EUR 4.10 (cum dividend) per Share represents its final offer. On 29 June 2026, NNS announced that it had submitted a draft offer memorandum to the AFM in connection with the Offer, with limited conditionality.

At the request of the Court-appointed Directors, AXECO conducted a value assessment of a solvent winddown scenario. In that respect, AXECO has assessed the known assets and liabilities of the Company in a liquidation scenario. Particular attention was given to the Fertiglobe indemnities. The Court-appointed Directors, together with their independent legal advisor and AXECO, examined in detail the probability of a release of the Fertiglobe-related escrow to OCI, and discussed their views with the Company and the Company's advisors. On that basis and given the significant uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the underlying Fertiglobe indemnity matters, the Court-appointed Directors have concluded that at this point in time no value can be attributed to a release of the escrow amount for the purposes of this assessment.

AXECO has issued a fairness opinion in respect of the Offer. AXECO has concluded that the offer price of EUR 4.10 (cum dividend) per Share is fair, from a financial point of view, to the OCI shareholders (other than NNS and any of its affiliates). The AXECO fairness opinion is attached as Annex III to this press release.

Based on the independent valuation analyses performed by AXECO, the Court-appointed Directors have reached the conclusion that the offer price is not unreasonable from a financial point of view. However, they conclude that the offer price is not sufficiently convincing for them to recommend to the OCI shareholders to tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer. Nevertheless, as the Offer in itself provides cash optionality for OCI shareholders, the Court-appointed Directors do support the Offer, be it with a neutral opinion in respect of the offer price.

5.4 Conclusion

The Court-appointed Directors are of the view that the Offer is a relevant and meaningful addition to the OCI-Orascom transaction. They consider that the combination of the OCI-Orascom transaction and the Offer gives adequate and reasonable weight to the interests of OCI's minority shareholders.

In reaching this conclusion, the Court-appointed Directors have also taken into account the appreciation in the share price of Orascom Construction, which has provided more clarity as to the value proposition embedded in the OCI-Orascom share exchange ratio. A number of OCI's minority shareholders have recently indicated that, for that reason, they are in favour of the OCI-Orascom transaction.

The Court-appointed Directors have further considered that the only tangible alternative to the OCI-Orascom transaction is a solvent wind-down of OCI. Such a scenario would involve a lengthy process expected to extend until at least 2031, would entail significant costs and material uncertainty as to the ultimate liquidation proceeds available for distribution to shareholders, and would likely result in Dutch dividend withholding tax being levied on distributions to a significant proportion of OCI's minority shareholders, reducing the net amount received by those shareholders by 15% (at current rates). A solvent wind-down scenario would therefore not appear to represent a financially superior outcome for shareholders when compared to the OCI-Orascom transaction in combination with the Offer.

On that basis, the Court-appointed Directors have decided to consent to the convocation of an extraordinary general meeting of the Company, to be convened simultaneously with the publication of the offer memorandum in respect of the Offer by NNS, to approve the OCI-Orascom transaction. The resolution to be presented to shareholders will be subject to the condition that NNS will have made the Offer and will have declared the Offer unconditional (gestanddoen) and that settlement of the Offer will have taken place.

Many organizations struggle to confidently audit and report on AI tool usage across their device fleet, including both sanctioned applications and unsanctioned or prohibited tools. AI Governance provides comprehensive visibility into which AI applications are in use, along with detailed insights into how they behave on the endpoint. This enables organizations to understand AI activity at a level that network- and cloud-based reporting solutions alone cannot provide, helping security teams identify risk, support compliance, and make informed governance decisions.

With launch support for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex, the capability provides deep governance coverage across model access, tenancy, network permissions, file system controls, MCP server restrictions, and other vendor-specific AI configurations. A vendor control tracking engine continuously monitors supported AI platforms for new or updated controls, helping organizations keep governance policies current as AI tools rapidly evolve. All of these policies are in place offline and before a user's first login to an AI agent, enforcing a foundational day-zero and tamper-resistant policy baseline.

The only native Mac control plane for enterprise AI

AI tools run natively on Apple Silicon and operate as processes that existing network proxies and cloud-based tooling cannot fully see or govern. No existing tool unifies platform-native device management, deep AI tool configuration coverage, and a workflow that translates governance intent into vendor-correct configuration on macOS.

Jamf AI Governance closes that gap by enabling visibility of Shadow AI and providing granular AI configurations natively, deployed in minutes, through the same endpoint management control plane that admins use today, offering:

• Visibility: AI application visibility and shadow AI discovery surface AI tools, agents, and LLM runtime across the fleet (including CLI-based developer tools and background agents) using Jamf's existing telemetry agent, which uses native and high-performance macOS frameworks. No new agent is required.
• Control: AI access policy controls let IT define sanctioned tools, deploy access policy at scale, and scope different postures to different teams. Vendor-correct configurations can be applied automatically at scale.
• Governance: An executive AI posture report provides CIOs and CISOs with a snapshot-in-time summary of AI usage. The capability offers SIEM compatibility and is designed to assist companies in reporting against their existing compliance frameworks.

"AI adoption across the enterprise is moving faster than existing technology policies can keep up," said Beth Tschida, CEO at Jamf. "Organizations need governance that matches the way AI tools actually operate on Mac. This means visibility into what's running, policy controls enforced directly on the endpoint, and reporting that helps security teams demonstrate compliance. Our AI Governance capability delivers that natively from the same platform customers already trust to manage and secure Apple devices."

"Like many organizations, we want to enable teams to use AI tools productively while maintaining appropriate governance and oversight," said Sam Lalli, Security Engineering & SOC Manager at Eventbrite "What impressed us about Jamf's AI Governance was how quickly we could apply policy across our Mac fleet without adding another point solution or creating friction for developers. Having this critical capability built into the same device management platform we already use, really simplifies AI governance for our team."

Jamf enables partner AI solutions to thrive on the Mac

Beyond essential visibility and control, Jamf's AI Governance policies can more effectively deploy and govern partner AI solutions.

IT and security teams can use Jamf to discover AI tools running across MacOS devices and register those agents directly with Okta for AI Agents. This gives each one a managed identity and scoped access to only the resources it is allowed to reach. Jamf controls which MCP servers can run on the device while Okta controls what cloud resources those MCP servers can reach. Rather than long-lived static keys, agents use short-lived, vaulted credentials, and every action is authorized and logged from the endpoint to the cloud. The Okta integration deploys directly from Jamf's console without manual API setup or certificate management required.

Organizations can also configure their preferred agent builder platform, such as Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, ensuring AI traffic routes through and is processed on sanctioned cloud infrastructure.

With Jamf handling device visibility and policy enforcement, and Okta managing agent identity and access, organizations can answer: which agents ran on which endpoints, what they were authorized to reach, and what they did along the path from a MacOS device to the SaaS app.

"While some enterprise AI agents run locally, they access data across a vast cloud ecosystem, requiring coordinated security between the endpoint and identity layers," said Harish Peri, SVP & GM of AI Security, Okta. "By anchoring Okta for AI Agents to Jamf's endpoint enforcement, every agentic connection on a managed Mac is authenticated, authorized, and fully visible from the device to the data. Together, we're helping organizations become secure agentic enterprises by giving them more control over what AI agents can access and on whose behalf."

AI governance urgency is accelerating

The need for enterprise AI governance is accelerating as organizations rapidly adopt AI-powered tools across employee workflows. Jamf's recently released AI Governance Survey found that organizations with deeply integrated AI are 40% more likely to report an incident than those still in the exploration phase, suggesting AI governance is quickly becoming an operational requirement rather than a future planning exercise.

Gartner® mentions, "With spending on AI governance expected to reach $492 million in 2026 and surpass $1 billion by 2030, organizations are reassessing the tools and strategies needed to stay ahead of both regulatory and operational risk." Further, in its Top Cybersecurity Trends for 2026 report, Gartner also says that, "Cybersecurity leaders must identify both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI agents, enforce robust controls for each and develop incident response playbooks to address potential risks."

The report reveals that organizations are dangerously overlooking a reputational blind spot that directly impacts revenue. A staggering 93% of APAC consumers quietly disengage when believability in a brand or organization is lost, with almost half (48%) stopping their purchases entirely. In response to the findings, Ogilvy has concurrently launched its new Believability Agent, a predictive AI diagnostic tool designed to help C-Suite leaders identify and close these commercial gaps.
Richard Brett, President of Ogilvy PR APAC, said: "As AI slop and synthetic content reshape the communications landscape, believability has evolved from a PR challenge into a commercial imperative. Traditional reputation metrics no longer tell the full story because the greatest risks are now invisible. The true cost of lost belief is measured in lost revenue, rather than negative headlines. The organizations that succeed in 2026 will be those that recognize operational action matters more than a traditional holding statement."

Key Findings from the Ogilvy APAC 2026 Believability Index show:

• The biggest reputation threat is silent disengagement
  Consumers are far more likely to walk away quietly than publicly criticize an organization. The research found that 93% of consumers who lose belief in an organization disengage silently, while 55% who disengage publicly, including just 10% who would post about a negative experience on social media.
• Competence before purpose
  Across the region, 42% of consumers stopped engaging with an organization over the past year because a product or service failed to deliver on its core promise, compared to 29% who disengaged due to poor business ethics. The findings reinforce that operational competence remains the foundation of credibility.
• Believability is built differently across APAC markets
  Consumers evaluate credibility differently across the region. Markets like Singapore and Malaysia place greater confidence in institutional authority and official sources, while markets like Australia and the Philippines rely heavily on peer-to-peer "lived experience". The findings highlight the danger of a one-size-fits-all regional communications strategy.
• Actions restore belief more effectively than apologies
  While 85% of consumers say lost belief can be regained, they increasingly expect meaningful operational correction before a corporate apology. More than half (57%) said actively fixing a problem is the most important step toward rebuilding belief.
