----------
DP Eurasia NV - master franchisee of Domino's Pizza brand in Turkey, Russia, Azerbaijan and Georgia - Says trading performance has continued its strong momentum since interim results in September. For ten months to October 31, group system sales increased 52%, on the back of strong demand in Turkey and against weak comparables for first half of 2020 in both Turkey and Russia due to the pandemic. Turkey delivers systems sales growth of 62%, while Russian system sales growth comes in at 28%. "Whilst the board is conscious of the potential continued risks posed by the pandemic, we remain on target for our 2021 guidance in our markets and the Board expects the full year adjusted Ebitda for 2021 to be in line with expectations," says Chief Executive Officer Aslan Saranga.

Myanmar Investments International Ltd - Reports net asset value of USD25.6 million as at September 30, down 28% from last year, equivalent to USD0.67 per share. Says NAV decline was driven mainly by the decrease in the assessed value of investments in AP Towers - down USD6.1 million to USD22.3 million and in Myanmar Finance International Ltd - down USD2.9 million to USD1.5 million. "We intend to complete the sale of MFIL as soon as it is practical which will include finalising the closing audit and obtaining regulatory approval. We have reduced our operating costs significantly. In order to maximise the return of surplus capital to our shareholders, we are considering the option of cancelling the admission to trading of the ordinary shares of Myanmar Investments International Ltd from the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange which would save a substantial amount of money," says Chair Henrik Bodenstab.
